Kampung Baru is the oldest Malay residential area in Kuala Lumpur. This market has a totally Malay feel to it, and this is obvious in the style of jewellery and clothes.

It was Saturday morning when I was woke up by Christoper and we all left Melaka for KL. We took our bus at Melaka Sentral at 9:45 am. It was raining in the morning. I reached KL at 12 pm and waited for my old friend, Sali to come. Then we have a dinner together and I had a night at his home in Kampung Baru. We had a great deal of time watching EPL together. I even had a long chat with his dad.

Their family has been an original residents of Kampung Baru. Do you all know who else has been the resident of Kampung Baru? Others were Tan Sri SM Salim and Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin. Kampung baru has been a trademark of the Malays. The price of the land also is very freaking expensive. I was informed that it cost up to rm 300 to rm 400 per square feet! Back in Putrajaya the cost is around rm 250 per square feet. Imagine juz few feets away from business centres, shopping complex offices and many other landmarks, no one would resist to own a land in the centre of KL. It is just the matter of whether u have the money to own it or not.

At night, I went outside of the house. The sight offers a maxis tower, KLCC and ambank tower on the back. I also can see Menara Celcom nearby. The last sight I had juz like this is when I strolling at Dataran Merdeka. That is the time where we all can stand at a very open area and u can see tall buildings all over around u. The mixed feelings was great esspecially when night time. I wish I had a wide angle slr so that I can take many wide angle pics and give u all a clearer picture how Kampung Baru looks like.

Kampung Baru is the oldest Malay residential area in Kuala Lumpur. About ten minutes away from Chow Kit Market, it was founded in 1899 and there are still authentic traditional Malay wooden houses there. On Saturday evenings, one section of Kampung Baru is a hive of activity. The reason: the Pasar Minggu, or Sunday Market, that starts from 6 pm on Saturday evenings and ends in the wee hours of Sunday morning, at 1 am.

During the daylight, the KLCC is juz a stone’s throw.

At night, same spot

Menara Celcom, i can walk from here to there.
