KWC Fashion Mall Kuala Lumpur

Out of interest and curiosity, I decided to make a trip to KWC Fashion Mall which stands for Kenanga Wholesale City.  Again I took the LRT train to Hang Tuah LRT station and then navigated and walked to the mall.

Balai Bomba – Walk to KWC Fashion Mall

Let me recollect and give anyone interested in visiting this place – a Walking Guide to KWC Fashion Mall. After you get out of Hang Tuah LRT station, you will see two main roads. Walked towards blocks of old flats with the vehicles going the same direction as you walk. The LRT track is above you. Continued walking till you see this building called Balai Bomba Dan Penyelamat. There is a small ( minor) road; just turn left and keep walking.

You will see rows of shops selling clothes; coffee shops, sundries stores, etc. Opposite the road, you can see small food kiosks and rows of flats. Again keep walking until you are reaching the end of the road. Looked out for a tall white building – you won’t missed it as it is the tallest building there.  That white building is the KWC Fashion Mall.  It took me 15 minutes to walk from Hang Tuah LRT station to KWC Fashion Mall.

Many rows of shops

There are many stores in the KWC Fashion Mall selling all types of clothes. I noticed that the majority of the shops sell ladies clothes rather than Men’s clothing.  So for ladies, this place is for you.  You can also get fashion accessories such as belts, wallets, bags, shoes, costume jewellery, fashion T-shirts, children and babies clothing, etc.

If you are hungry, there are fast food as well as many food outlets nearby.  I noticed that some shops allowed bargaining of prices, some shops insist on fixed prices; and there are other shops that require a minimum price purchases. Just ask the sales staff before buying.

MRT & LRT in Kuala Lumpur

When I was in Kuala Lumpur, the main mode of transport for me was taking the MRT & LRT.  It is absolutely convenient and affordable means of transportation.

Tourist Information Centre KL

Within the city of Kuala Lumpur, the roads are very congested especially during peak hours. If you are traveling using the KL Buses and Taxis, the traffic is at a crawling speed.  Therefore a lot of time would be wasted being stuck on the roads.

KL Sentral

To familiarize the MRT/ LRT network, the first thing I did was to get the FREE KL tourist map from the Tourism Office of Malaysia at the airport.  This map is very helpful to me for navigating around KL using the trains and identifying the locations and roads.

It is much easier to travel using the TOUCH N GO My Rapid KL store value train card. You can buy this from any MRT / LRT station counters. Using this card is cheaper for traveling as discount is given for each trip; as compared to using cash to buy a fare card for each trip.

The MRT & LRT network are extensive in Kuala Lumpur.  It is fast, comfortable and easy to connect.  Try to avoid the morning and evening peak hours; as lots of people are using the trains.  The MRT & LRT is my preferred mode of transport while in KL.
