SATURDAY Stroll │ DOREMi • Central Market and Beyond!

A Trip to Chow Kit

My guitar pedalboard had been acting up, and I suspected a faulty cable. The nearest guitar store was in Chow Kit, so we caught a Rapid KL #250 bus from the KL31 Hentian Munshi Abdullah stop. Fifteen minutes later, we got off at KL52 Chow Kit, crossed the busy Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, and walked into DOREMi Music Store.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have the cable I needed. Perhaps I’ll have better luck online.

Bus Hopping Through the City

We walked back to Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah and waited for any Rapid KL bus under the KL52 Chow Kit Monorail station. After a while, we decided to try our luck at the main stop at KL69 Pasar Chow Kit instead.

Here, we caught a Rapid KL #173 bus that eventually dropped us off under the Masjid Jamek LRT Station. We crossed Jalan Tun Perak and continued along Jalan Benteng, passing Masjid Jamek, until we reached the Medan Pasar Clock Tower.

From there, we crossed Leboh Pasar Besar, walked along Jalan Hang Kasturi, and entered Central Market.

BNf and Brunch

We spent some time exploring the ongoing Borneo Native Festival, then headed to Restoran Tajudin Nasi Beriani nearby for brunch.

After eating, we retraced our steps back across Jalan Tun Perak and continued along Jalan Melayu. We walked through the former Jalan Masjid India Flea Market area and stopped by a pharmacy. Nearby was Mansion Tea Stall, so we picked up a packet of Teh Halia (Ginger Tea).

A Sudden Change of Plans

We continued walking until the end of Jalan Masjid India. Here, Cat and I split up — I received a call from the Citylink delivery guy saying he was already in front of our home with the chair I had ordered from Nitori earlier in the week.

While Cat headed to Burger King at Semua House to settle our dinner, I hurried home to receive the delivery.

Wrapping Up

And with that, our sauntering session came to an end. A simple weekend walkabout filled with buses, errands, and little surprises — just the way we like it.

A Small Reminder

While not wanting to be a wet blanket, we feel it is our civic duty to remind everyone that while masks are optional outdoors, they are still mandatory indoors. Stay safe and considerate.
