Ramadhan Bazaar - Sungai Penchala

Bazaar Ramadhan Sungai Penchala is located conveniently a few hundred meters of Penchala Link junction to Taman Tun Dr. Ismail in this Malay reserved enclave residential neighborhood. It is an unpretentious bazaar of about 40 odd stalls laid out in encircling two rows of stalls.

 

Vehicular off street parking would be testing one's patience around 5 to 6pm as both sides of the road leading to the mosque and shops beyond would be congested. If you are familiar entering Sungai Penchala from LDP highway, that would be the better route to the venue.

 

In previous years there were interesting stalls selling unique selections such as barbeque stingray, dim sum, authentic cakes from the original stoves and hands of Kelantanese mothers and grandmothers settling in the kampung.

 

However, in passing of time and maybe the maestro chefs themselves the current traders are keeping safe to commercial varieties much available in bazaars anywhere else. Yet the uniqueness of certain home-cooked dishes would certainly reward anyone making a trip to this edge of Kuala Lumpur.

 

It is also encouraging to witness the city council's health officials in hand taking random samples and overall inspection of the stalls.

Ain't that simply sumptuous?

Lauk-pauk - Variety of dishes

Interesting visitors pioneering the neighborhood.

Shorts for the ladies would be practical in the hot and humid afternoon weather, that is understandable. However, shorts in midst of the locals in the month of Ramadhan can also be disrespectful. Alas the uninformed!

The friendliest & happiest traders.

Legendary couple selling Murtabak solely outside the bazaar premise by the roadside. That's their young son on standby help.

 

And our friendly city council health inspectors - DBKL- drop by taking random samples from this drink stall.

The yellow officer's job would be to drag the sampling container around and take it back to the lab for health testing obviously.

 

Another team at the other end of the bazaar.

While the boss would be doing behind-the-counter inspection, as well as getting a few packed dishes to carry home.
