Jalan Tun Abd Rahman

Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, sometimes referred to as Jalan TAR, was the 'grande dame' of KL shopping in the days before modern shopping complexes took the KL metropolitan city by storm. 

This stretch of road is flanked by pre-war buildings whose distinctive facades have been preserved and readapted to accommodate modern retailing businesses. Here, you can walk through the archways of shops for an immersion into a shopping and cultural experience that goes back several decades. 



Narrow alleys between the shops offer a fantastic range of clothing material at irresistible bargain prices especially during festive season like Eid Fitri everybody are searching for new clothes for the celebration. Baju Melayu and Baju Kurung is a traditional Malays wear. Plenty of it with reasonable prices to be offered. 







Every Saturday between 5pm- 10pm, Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman is closed to traffic and transformed into a night market (“pasar malam”) where petty traders and hawkers sell an assortment of goods in the open air. Walking through it promises to be an interesting experience, and it is also a good place to pick up some casual attire, local products, as well as sample local delicacies.
