Bangsar isn't particularly known for its shopping, but there are still a large number of shopping outlets and a few malls in the area. Of particular note is a night market that takes place here on Sundays from early evening till late night.
This, coupled with the night life in the area, provides for some fantastic sight-seeing and shopping opportunities.

Night Market in Bangsar
The Bangsar night market, or 'Pasar Malam', is an open-air bazaar that takes place among the streets of Telawi, right next to the main shop lot areas and across the Bangsar Village II mall. Like most pasar malams around Kuala Lumpur, Bangsar's night market has its fair share of wet and dry goods. On one corner, you can find fishmongers hawking huge snappers and red prawns, filling the air with the smell of the sea. On the other, hawkers sell the latest bootleg fashion, T-shirts and jeans hung from hangars below make-shift roofs.
The night market takes place from early evening till late night, attracting a massive crown of local residents and expatriates. Because of the affluent nature of the crowd and area, goods here are more expensive than other night markets in Kuala Lumpur. However, the culture of bargaining can still be practised very much here, though the final figures probably won't net you as much savings in other places.
A walk through the night market is a fascinating experience for first-timers. This is a huge shopping activity for locals, as almost everything under the sun can be found here, from clothing to shoes and food stuff to electronic gadgets. The sheer number of stalls, people and din of traders bargaining with customers is a colourful sight and a must-visit for those in Bangsar on Sundays.
