After we were finished at the Bird Park, we took a cab back to Chinatown. The traffic was unbelievable. At one point, we were trying to navigate an uncontrolled intersection and there were buses, cars, cabs, and pedestrians all jockeying for position. You need nerves of steel to make it as a cab driver in KL!
We asked the driver to drop us off at the Petaling Market. We were famished at this point and made our way to the Old China Cafe nearby which was recommended in one of our guidebooks. The restaurant had a certain old-fashioned, slightly run-down charm associated with it. The food was fantastic. We had Laksa (their specialty noodle soup) and Beef Rendang. The beef didn't look very pretty but the hint of lemongrass in the mixture was unexpected and delicious.
After lunch, we wandered through the Petaling Market a bit more and even bought a few shirts (we needed something cheap and clean to wear on the airplane ride home at the end of the trip since we'd packed really light). The funniest thing I noticed was that they were selling the exact same shirt (I particularly noticed a brown and yellow striped number) with the logo of your choice. They had Polo, Fred Perry, and more. Talk about mass customizing your knock-offs!
