Publika

The final piece of KL's mall trifecta is Publika, one most favoured by a younger clientele and with a distinct taste for boutiques rather than international brand stores (although there is, of course, some of that here too). Come on the weekend to hit Publika's weekly Bazaar and Craft Market; BIG (Ben's Independent Grocer) also has a location here – it's near-unanimously agreed upon as the best-stocked grocer in the city.

Shopping

Shoppers will find their trip to Kuala Lumpur worthwhile to say the least. There are many ways to pursue your shopping needs from a shop house to a street stall, or from a night market (‘pasar malam’) to a shopping mall. You may not always find exactly the same product but you have a lot of choice in price and quality. There are great shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur, namely Suria KLCC (just below the Twin Towers), Mid Valley Megamall and Bangsar Village. However, the most famous area for shopping is Bukit Bintang, with the highest density of malls and shops in the city. You can find anything from the smartest Japanese hi-tech gadget to the latest French designer piece.

It's set at the base of the iconic Petronas Towers and, by virtue of location, attracts large amounts of tourist traffic.
