There is a 20 minutes queue on Friday 9AM. Just take a number and have a stroll at the Kwai Chai Hong next door. The dried curry chicken (RM 12.90) and Curry Chee Cheong Fun (RM 5.80) is pretty good, Cham Iced (RM 4.30) is average. The Butter Kaya Toast (RM 3.40) is not crispy nor fresh, even though it is toasted. Pretty bad I would say. Turkey Ham and Egg Croissant (RM 8.90) is average as well.

A small photo spot. Fairly interesting if you enjoy posing with the props and deco to capture a few photos.

Besides experience haggle shopping at the market, the street itself is fairly charming with many old shops. You can sample some street food, street arts, visit cafes and temples.

Decent and popular soybean stall. Nothing special, but perfect location especially on a hot sunny day.

No longer run by the original auntie, but the stall does have her brand name. Taste and texture wise is just average.

God of War Temple in Petaling Street (founded in 1887), walk in to pray for blessing or just to soak in the old temple vibe.

A beautiful Indian Temple at Petaling Street founded in 1968. Need to take off your shoes, paid storage available (very reasonable charges). Sarung rental for women to cover up exposed leg is available as well. Don't be shy, everyone is welcome to walk in and visit the temple, with beautiful architecture and colourful statues of god. You are even welcomed to join they prayer if you bumped into the praying ceremony.

A minimalist vibe, comfortable enough for matcha and dessert. This is like a premium matcha shop, with plenty of variety of matcha with different origin. I just randomly selected Saemidori K1 (RM 13). I am no expert, but it is thick yet smooth, thus nice. The Yuri / Matcha Marble Roulade (RM 13) has many layers of taste and texture, so I would say it is pretty interesting. Akane / Cashew Houjicha Choux is a letdown because the outer layer is soggy, this doesn't have the feeling of freshness.

An old shopping mall with plenty of crafts and gift shop.

I enjoy the vibe of the old temple (founded by Yap Ah Loy in 1864), it has a great ancient charm.

Famous for beef noodle, which is pretty good. They will give you the large portion by default, so you need ask for small portion. The Fried Kway Teow is okay as well. Seems like the famous lala noodle soup is no longer here.

Really love this spot, I think it is one of the most beautiful spot in the city. Gombak River and Klang River merged here, with a great view of Sultan Abdul Samad Mosque. There are nice walkway, places to chill and painting on the nearby building. Feel some peace and serenity at this spot.

Probably the most beautiful government building in the country since 1894. A very iconic building, just opposite Dataran Merdeka. There is a nice garden behind the building.

Exhibition gallery with a pretty famous bakery.

A pink themed vegetarian bar restaurant. Pink Bombshell Burger (RM 34) has the sauce of a burger, but the beetroot patty is just mashes without the taste and texture of a good patty. The sides of Sweet Potato Fries with Mayo sauce are pretty good. Jungle Laksa (RM 28) has plenty of herbs, but the broth is average. Spicy Tempeh Fingers (RM 12) is pretty good for a tempeh, enriched by dark soy and chili padi sauce. PS: the menu is a pdf on Google Drive

A bookstore designed like a maze. I would say this is one of the more interesting place to visit in Petaling Street. Rex is an old cinema building, still maintain some of its old vibe.
