Bangsar |
||||||||||||
Fifty years ago, Bangsar Baru was little more than a rubber plantation. Then in the 1970s, it was developed as a housing suburb that catered to the baby boomers settling in Kuala Lumpur. As the children of these baby boomers grew up and formed a large part of the city's young, upwardly mobile professionals, Bangsar Baru suddenly became hip. Today, the district is one of the trendiest commercial and residential addresses in bustling KL - and the preferred destination for those in search of pulsating nightlife. Just 10 minutes by car from the financial district, KL's version of Piccadilly Circus boasts an impressive international mix of restaurants, pubs, bars, grills, bistros, cafes, fast-food joints and coffee and ice cream parlors. Its location near an affluent neighborhood that's home to free-spending expatriates and well-heeled local executives helps explain the popularity of "the strip." But it's the variety of the themes that keeps the crowds coming back every night. And a large pasar malam (or night market) on Saturday evenings adds to the area's especially festive atmosphere during weekends. Bangsar has a wide enough array of cuisine to satisfy any craving - Chinese, Indian, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Mexican, American and European. Some cater to vegetarians. Night traders generally open between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. and the last pubs close at around 2 a.m., but food and drink are available at outdoor stalls until early morning.
