"Kampung Baru is the oldest Malay residential area in Kuala Lumpur. This market has a totally Malay feel to it, and this is obvious in the style of jewellery and clothes."
Kampung Baru is the oldest Malay residential area in Kuala Lumpur. About ten minutes away from Chow Kit Market, it was founded in 1899 and there are still authentic traditional Malay wooden houses there. On Saturday evenings, one section of Kampung Baru is a hive of activity. The reason: the Pasar Minggu, or Sunday Market, that starts from 6 pm on Saturday evenings and ends in the wee hours of Sunday morning, at 1 am.
This market has a totally Malay feel to it, and this is obvious in the style of jewellery and clothes, in the type of fabric, the varied tastes of Malay cooking and in the make of the handicraft on sale.
