Madras Lane Petaling Street is a narrow alleyway that’s known for its tasty hawker fare, as well as a wet market that sells a variety of produce, meat, poultry and fish. Set within Chinatown Kuala Lumpur, it’s connected to the Petaling Street Flea Market via a Chinese-style archway bearing the name Penjaja Gallery. Locals frequently refer to the hawker street as Madras Lane after a cinema of the same name, which was destroyed in a fire during the late 1970s.

The wet market gets very busy with locals shopping for groceries, vegetables and meat – live chicken and fish are freshly slaughtered here, so it can be upsetting for those with a weak stomach. When you reached the end of the lane, you’ll find the food court, which is fitted with food stalls as well as a limited number of plastic tables and chairs.
