Busy Spot

Old Klang Road has always been the centre of activity in the Klang Valley and here are some of its charms.

Hua May Artistic Engineering Works



Located at the 3rd mile, this place specialises in rock and reinforced glass fibre concrete sculptures. This company has been in business for 20 years and is responsible for the giant eagle at Dataran Lang in Langkawi.

Wai Kong Cane Furniture



Watch cane furniture m ade before your very eyes. The craftsmen,who have no qualms a bout labelling thems elves “ancient relics”, will not hesitate to let you know that cane weaving is a dying art. As such nothing will make them prouder than when a visitor takes the time to watch them a t work.

Central Supermarket

Touted for its market place on the ground floor, this place offers the best bargains for clothes, clocks and all manner of knick knacks. This place is also ideal for those who prefer the comforts of a dry place to get their fruits, vege tables and meat.

Penang Pasembur



Right by the side of the Esso Mobil station at 4¼ mile is a pasembur that has withstood two generations. The mobile unit used to be stationed outside Plaza Prima but had to move to their present location as parking is more convenient for th e customers.

Jalan Kelang Lama Market



This market place boasts the largest variety of foodstuff from dried goods to the freshest of meats and vegetables. Yes, you are allowed to bargain! Take note that it pays to make friends with the traders as this friendly lot is guaranteed to bring a smile to dreary mornings.

Quah Kee Hong Fruit Wholesaler



For cheaper prices on watermelons, honeydews, pineapples and papayas, this wholesaler promises to make your fruity craving an affordable one too. Located right opposite the market, the shop has been here for the past 10 years.

Jalan Mega Mendung

A place where you can find boutiques, restaurants, banking and all the necessary peripherals for everyday living. Also look out for Low Pia Lim, the coconut water man who has been here for 20 years.

3rd Mile Square



This commerce centre is in a class of its own with new restaurants and office spaces. There are plenty of lots still available for those who are looking for new business premises.

Plaza OUG (Parkson and Citrus Park Food Emporium)

This department store’s presence offers shoppers a quiet place to indulge in a bit of retail therapy minus the hassles of traffic jams and parking. This shopping complex also boasts a large food emporium which houses well-known names like Secret Recipe, Ah Cheng La ksa and McDonald’s.

Pearl Point



Shopping, hotel and residential apartments in one big block. For Sundays, attractions include a flea market and dim sum buffets. As it is quite close to the Bukit Jalil Stadium, it is not uncommon to find entire basket ball teams and sports officials thronging at the hotel.
