Kwai Chai Hong

Alleyway
Lorong Panggung, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Kwai Chai Hong

"There’s a street called Kwai Chai Hong. It used to be known as a place for, you know, dodgy stuff. But a few groups of people revamped it entirely. Within all these back alleys there are all these coffee shops and bars now."

Jao Tim

Cafe
61, Jalan Sultan, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Jao Tim

"Jao Tim is actually a place for open mics. The best thing is like it really feels like, you know, La La Land, that kind of thing. Because it's centered in Chinatown you can have local foods while listening to jazz music. That’s quite cool."

Sin Kiew Yee Shin Kee Beef Noodles

Chinese noodle restaurant
7a, Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Sin Kiew Yee Shin Kee Beef Noodles

"I really like to eat Sin Kiew noodles. As a photographer, I tend to gravitate toward locations that remind me of my loved ones. And the first time my dad brought me here, we sat down, ordered the noodles and my dad said ‘You know, this is where I brought mommy when we were dating."

REXKL

Cultural center
80, Jalan Sultan, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
REXKL

"REXKL is actually an old cinema that was burned down and now is just a creative hub. So the ground floor now has become a food court. Then at night, on certain days, there's busking during Chinese New Year, there's installations, so it's more like a community art hub."
