[2025 Petaling Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Pasar Seni Market(sunday) (Updated Jul)

Pasar Seni also known as Central Market is a vibrant cultural hub that brings together Malaysia’s rich heritage, diverse artistry, and local creativity under one roof. Once a wet market in the 1880s, it has transformed into a must-visit destination for those who want to experience the true soul of Malaysian culture. From traditional batik and handcrafted souvenirs to local paintings, wood carvings, and ethnic fashion, every corner of Pasar Seni tells a unique story. Take a stroll through the Kasturi Walk for street snacks and open-air vibes, or explore the upper floor art galleries and cultural performances. Whether you're looking to shop, snap aesthetic photos, or simply soak in the old-meets-new atmosphere, Pasar Seni offers an authentic and colorful experience you won’t find anywhere else. A perfect stop for tourists and locals alike, this cultural landmark is more than just a market — it’s a living museum of Malaysian identity! #travel #malaysia #kualalumpur

Walked into Pasar Seni and BAM — it looked like Barbie and Hello Kitty threw a party and forgot to clean up. Everywhere you turn, it’s pink, pink, and more pink-er. 💖🌸🛍️ Things I did NOT expect to do today: ✔️ Pose under a giant pink heart arch ✔️ Accidentally match outfits with 3 strangers ✔️ Eat a pink doughnut that tasted like joy and dental bills 🍩 Zero regrets. 100% fabulous. Even my selfie stick blushed. 🤳💗 If you need me, I’m still somewhere in that pink flower tunnel trying to find my willpower not to buy another glittery tote. #summervacay #pasarseni #thingstodoinkl #localfood

Pasar Seni really said: “Welcome to the jungle, but make it artsy.” One minute I was admiring handcrafted pottery, next thing I know—I’m wearing a woven hat, holding a bubble tea, and deeply negotiating over a wooden frog that croaks when you rub its back 🐸🪘 Tourist trap? More like me trap. Also, why did one uncle try to sell me a painting by saying “This cat got aura”? I bought it. The aura was convincing. 🐈⬛💫 Anyway, 10/10 experience if you enjoy culture, colours, and spontaneous shopping you’ll question at 2 a.m. #summervacay #pasarseni #kasturiwalk #thingstodoinkl

#springitinerary This weekend, immerse yourself in the vibrant SukaSeni Festival at Kuala Lumpur’s Central Market (Pasar Seni). Organized by the Kuala Lumpur Sukaseni Association, the event celebrates Borneo’s rich heritage in conjunction with the Kaamatan Festival and Gawai Day.

Running daily from 10 AM to 7 PM until Sunday, it’s a perfect opportunity for a leisurely cultural stroll in the heart of the city.   

#springitinerary During my Citywalk through Central Market, I stopped by the “KL Arts and Crafts” shop—a must-visit for anyone looking to bring home authentic Malaysian souvenirs. The shop is known for its beautiful collection of pewter items, from elegant figurines and traditional motifs to functional pieces like keychains and tableware. Each item reflects fine Malaysian craftsmanship, making it a perfect gift or keepsake. The shop also features other locally made arts and crafts, but its pewter selection truly stands out. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning explorer, this charming shop offers a memorable way to connect with Malaysia’s artistic heritage.

#springitinerary During my Citywalk at Pasar Seni, I was thrilled to stumble upon the Borneo Native Festival 2025—a colorful and culturally rich celebration of East Malaysia’s diverse heritage. The festival showcased traditional music, dance performances, native crafts, and authentic Bornean cuisine, creating a lively and immersive atmosphere. Visitors could explore handcrafted items, taste indigenous delicacies, and witness live cultural showcases from Sabah and Sarawak. The vibrant costumes and rhythmic beats filled the air with festive energy. Held in the heart of KL, this festival is a must-visit event that brings the soul of Borneo to the city, celebrating Malaysia’s unity in diversity.

#springitinerary On day 3 of our spring itinerary, we have decided to take a city walk to explore the place. We walked around the Bukit Bintang area and the pasar seni area to have our local street food breakfast there. We had the famous chicken rice as well as the black soya sauce Malaysia styled wanton mee. They both tasted great. The walk was relaxing. We get to see several hotels and landmarks along the way too.

#cherryblossom25 At the pasar seni Chinatown area at the Kuala Lumpur city, you can find several mural wall paintings. Do stop by to take some beautiful pictures there.

Title: Echoes After Hours at Pasar Seni When the shutters fall and shops close at Pasar Seni, the magic doesn’t end—it transforms. The quiet streets hum with history, and the lantern-lit alleyways become a canvas for reflection. With no carbon-heavy rides, just footsteps and fresh air, it’s a sustainable, soul-soothing experience under the KL night sky. A moment where stillness speaks. #earthdayjourney
