Bookish KL Escape📚Petaling Street Market & REXKL: A Half-Day Dive into KL's Soul!

#hellohalloween

Dive into the vibrant chaos of Petaling Street Market — a rainbow of umbrellas shading stalls bursting with fake Rolexes, pirated DVDs, and sizzling woks.

The air hangs heavy with the scent of roasted chestnuts and durian, while hawkers shout deals in a mix of languages. Haggle for souvenirs, then slurp a bowl of tangy asam laksa at a plastic-table stall.

Just steps away, the brutalist concrete shell of REXKL awaits — an old cinema reborn as a hipster haven.

Climb the industrial staircase to its rooftop bookstore, pose before vibrant murals, and sip a craft coffee in the airy atrium. By night, it transforms into a buzzing hub of live music and indie markets.

Don’t miss:

The “I 💗 KL” mural on REXKL’s top floor
Fresh cendol with coconut milk at the market’ end
Vintage photo booths and local designer pop-ups
