Chow Kit Market
Kuala Lumpur's old wet market district, with fresh produce by day and a Monday night market on Lorong Haji Taib.
Chow Kit is one of Kuala Lumpur's most traditional market districts, where stalls sell fruit, vegetables, spices and fish, and street vendors crowd the surrounding lanes.
What to expect
A busy local scene that feels far from the tourist districts. On Mondays, a night market runs along Lorong Haji Taib with clothing, accessories and street food.
What to eat
Murtabak, fresh tropical fruit, nasi lemak, grilled snacks and sweet drinks.
Visitor tips
- The market is generally open in the daytime; listed hours are about 6 am to 5 pm, so check before you go.
- The Monday night market runs about 6 pm to 11 pm.
- Keep valuables secure in the crowds.
