Petaling Jaya Shopping

Amcorp Mall

Located near an A & W fast-food outlet on Persiaran Barat, just off Jalan Timur, is the Amcorp Mall. Although not as fancy as its more contemporary counterparts, this mall has its legions of regular and loyal patrons who love to come here for its sizeable offerings of quirky and specialty shops.

During the weekends, the whole of its ground floor comes alive with its flea market, arguably one of the most talked-about in the country. Said to be the very first flea market in Malaysia, it showcases a wide range of items from old LP records to antique collectables.

Petaling Jaya’s Pasar Malam (Night Markets)

The best way to experience the local culture, the night markets are a delight to the visual and olfactory senses! A huge selection of goods can be found here, from food and groceries to clothing and gadgets – and best of all, you can even haggle on the already rock-bottom prices!
