During a long walk today in Kuala Lumpur, I stumbled upon Bazaar Baru Chow Kit. Although several years ago there were hopes this market would become a tourist destination, my experience was similar to another person who shared their experience. I didn't notice any obvious tourists today, and overall the market did not feel touristy.
It might not be the most Malaysian of markets since it is in the midst of a large Indonesian community. But for me, it was still interesting to see how it compared to the wide variety I have seen in China. One of the more noticeable differences could be found in the aromas emanating from the foods and spices. One food stall proved particularly alluring, and I was tempted into enjoying a tasty snack of noodles.
I can't share the nostril-catching smellscape, so I will share a few photos instead. They provide a sense of the diverse visual scenes at a lively market in Kuala Lumpur.
