Sungei Wang Plaza

This used to be where i would shop over the weekend. During my school days shopping here would be considered cool! Lol. However as we get older, we would rather shop at places with quality. It does not have to be expensive but just good quality.
Well Sungai Wang is know for its cheap and funky clothing stores where Quality isnt that great. However you are able to find other things here too such as handphone stores, dvd stores, funky room deco stores, wig shops and many other out of the norm shops that you wont be able to find at other shopping malls.
However My «mat salleh» friends seems to like visiting sg wang whenever they come to KL and would always drag me along with them.
I like tagging along as it just brings back so much memories!

Sungei Wang Plaza is one of the most confusing and complicated malls i’ve ever been in. there are so many floors and back alleys that you get confused on where you are. Like if you like a store and wanna go back to it again you’d probably not be able to find it. Its that confusing.
So what i do now is, i take business cards from the shops that i like so then i have the address and can easily fins them again. Parking here is horrendous, its a split level thing which means you have to drive up a million floors in a spiral way and feel like puking by the time you get a spot.
Usually we park at fahrenheit or pavilion and then walk over, way easier like that.

I used to shop like mad here when i was in secondary school. It’s just like a fashion kingdom to me with different variety of cloths, phone accessories and new invented foods. But in recent years, when i was visit this mall again, i noticed many shops have closed down and most of the shop that is still available inside are selling low quality clothing with flat price such as RM 15 for each in the whole shop but you’re not allow to try. So you might spend more money later buying those cloth that isn’t suit or fit you at all.
However, some of the well-​known tailors are still here. My aunt still love to come here to tailored made her blazer, Cheongsam and dinner dress. Those tailor that working here have the experiences more than decades already.
Overall, i still miss the old time Sungei Wang Plaza. The concept seems change a lots here. More imported clothing from China nowadays which i can get it anytime via online without even stepping out the doorstep of my house.

Known for being cheap and cheerful, Sungei Wang is a longstanding mall that has survived the test of time.
Housing hundred of stores, you can find almost everything in Sungei Wang. From fashion, F&B, beauty salons, jewelry, opticals to tattoo parlours — the shopping mall is packed to brim. So claustrophoic, you might want to steer clear from it!
There are some specialty stores that I like such as Chalk, which offers quirky, vintage outfits and Buntil with second-​hand stuff. There’s also an open food court on top of the shopping mall with pretty decent food. It’s a little hard to locate but the concierge is more than happy to help.

One of the best places to shop for cheap clothes. Word of caution: if you’re slightly on the bigger side, you’ll be in for a challenge. Seriously, some of the clothes are so tiny I don’t really understand how some shops make money.
I also find the quality of clothes here slightly lower than Berjaya Times Square. That aside, there are a few shops that sells pretty nice clothes.
Sungei Wang also has one of the best and widest selection of shoes in the market. Most of them are affordable, but there are some where I feel the price is not right. I notice some shoes are old stocks but selling at normal prices which I don’t think is worth it.
Other than that, the food sold in Sungei Wang is plentiful with lots of stalls selling desserts and other drinks.
After all’s been said, this place is still a pretty nice place to chill at.

Another great places to shop in Kuala Lumpur.
A lot of shop that offer cheaper prices for clothes, bag, accesories.
The mall has a few great restaurant and café to hang out
For people who stay in Kuala Lumpur, i admit that this place is one of my hang out places during my school day. hahaha
Sungei wang plaza become one of the attraction for tourist since its located in golden triangle– Bukit Bintang area. It accessible by taking monorail — stop at Bukit Bintang station. or you may take taxi. Bus is quite hard to reach compare to taxi. A lot of taxi awaits in front of the mall and around Bukit Bintang area.

Those were the days when I used to come to Sungei Wang Plaza for our weekend shopping excursions. We used to frequent one of the only Metrojaya’s that we knew of besides the one in MidValley (Metrojaya is a huge department store). Besides Metrojaya, Sungei Wang is packed with fashion stores that sell pretty affordable clothing. You probably won’t get the best of quality here but this mall really does have the old school KL charm as it is one of those old KL malls that have been around since I was a kid. I still remember coming here to get good deals on handphones as well as during the year-​end Mega Sales. Do note that pickpocketing is an issue here, so remember to zip your bags up.

Sungei Wang Plaza has got to be one of the earliest shopping malls established along the streets of Bukit Bintang. This mall is considered the «Starhill» of cheap and cheerful fashion apparels («Starhill» is a famous place for ultra high end fashion, time pieces and so on). Although some of the clothing offered in this mall is quite «lala» and «unconventional» (pun intended). Well I do admit that there was a time during my teenage years where I am absolutely «obsessed» with HipHop culture apparels, and I got most of those outfits here (Now when I looked back at my own pictures of myself in those days, I look ridiculous, hahaha).
This mall hasn’t really changed much since it’s earlier days, it is still fairly old in appearance/​design as compared to nearby malls like Pavilion or etc. Another thing that this mall is famous for previously is that they have a floor filled with gaming arcades! I personally had a lot of great memories here as my Dad used to bring me to the gaming arcade to have plenty of fun playing games together with my Dad during Sunday’s. It was truly one of the greatest moments in my teenage life.
However, do be extra careful while visiting this mall as it could get really packed during the weekends and be mindful of pickpockets as it is common to happen in packed places like this. Other than that, this is an awesome place to visit nonetheless.
Cheers!

Sungei Wang Plaza. This place reminds me of my secondary school time. Where my elder sister brings me and my younger sisters here for clothes shopping. This place is a shopping heaven for teenagers because their clothes are cheap and cheerful and so many to choose from!
Besides clothes, teenagers like coming here with friends to have fun at the gaming arcade too. This mall also houses a lot of food and snacks stalls. Sungei Wang is the very first place where I am introduced to bubble tea and Kim Gary Hong Kong restaurant (pork chop cheese baked rice). Each time I’m here, I’ll definitely have my bubble tea and my favorite Hong Kong ‘char chan theng’ food.
Over the years I tend to visit here lesser. Nowadays most of the clothes here can barely fits me anymore. Most of them are either too short (skirts and dresses) or free size (too small /​big). Mostly cater for petite girls. Besides that, the shops here are mostly selling the same clothes (repetitive) That’s the reason I hardly come here anymore.
But sometimes when I’m around town, I will still drop by for a look of the current trend.
