My First Visit to Madras Lane/ Penjaja Gallery (中华巷/李霖泰菜市场) @ Jalan Tun H.S. Lee

In the hustle and bustle of Petaling Street, amongst the various peddlers and small stalls, Madras Lane is one of the many interesting eatery lanes in the Petaling Street area. Cutting through the huge parking lot we landed ourselves here try out some the famous curry mee. As we stepped into this busy lane, we’ve kinda anticipate to queue for a table especially on a Sunday morning but were rather surprise to find free tables in a nook. We knew we won’t have chance to try the famous “Madras Lane curry chee cheong fun” (中華巷猪肠粉) by sitting at where we were as the hawkers here are rather petty and notoriously territorial. The stalls have allocated their patrons special seating, differentiate by the colors of the plastic stools, i.e. blue and red. Do make sure you asked before ordering. Parking is abundant however, as there is a large parking lot right behind the stalls, but prepare to pay RM2.50-3.00 per half hour for a parking spot. All in, the food has nothing to shout about and certainly not worth the trouble to come all the way where one can find better ones elsewhere with better and courteous service, but if I happen to be nearby, I MIGHT give it a thought.

PS150 KL 茨廠街~ Nostalgia for the Past of Petaling Street!

Located in Petaling Street aka Chinatown, what was previously a brothel is now PS150, a cocktail bar headed by famed bartender Angel Ng. PS150 may still maintain much of its pre-war building’s character, making it one of the most worthwhile visiting bar in KL. The entrance is dimly lit, and you'll have to go through a series of creaky wooden doors to finally get to the main bar area which has the theme color of red!
One thing that sets PS150 apart from other bars is its concept. The space is divided into 3 different sections, marking 3 distinct eras in the history of Indochina and cocktails. The first section is called the Opium Den that has more of a vintage look, with dim red lights and private seating booths; second is the Tiki or Post-war space where it’s an open-air courtyard that’s great for bigger groups. Step into the next room and you’ll enter the main bar area where it’s a mix of modern and old. It’s dark but romantic, and this is where all the action happens.
The cocktail menu here is divided into 5 eras: Vintage (1850s-1910s), Classic (1920s-1930s), Tiki (1940s-1960s), Disco (1970s-2000s) and Contemporary (late 2000s-present). Each of these cocktail lists features an original concoction while the classics are given a unique twist. The only drink not given the PS150 treatment is Hanky-Panky, which is served as homage to Ada Coleman, its iconic creator.
Why PS150? Simply because it represents ‘Petaling Street’ @ No.150 as per PS150 billing address!
