Blook (short for ‘be looked at’) is a popular Kuala Lumpur fashion boutique with five stand-alone stores all over the city. An excellent neighbourhood clothing store, the flagship outlet along Jalan Telawi Lima, Bangsar started out as a small concept store but quickly grew popular for its fun, flirty and casual clothes and work-wear at very affordable prices. Arguably the jewel in the Blook crown is its stylish collection for plus-sized women (called Blook+): it is unique because most KL fashion stores cater for petite-sized women – whereas sizes for this line go up to XXXXL. The store also sells funky fashion accessories such as bejewelled belts, headbands and jewellery. Read More...

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.

• Highlights: Street Food (Char Koey Teow, Asam Laksa, Satay and the Otak-Otak).
• Opening Hours: Sunday, 18:00 – 22:00
• Location: Between Jalan Maarof and Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
