Photo Hunt: Fake
KL Chinatown or better known as Petaling Street is one of Kuala Lumpur’s most popular tourist destinations, because it is a heaven for fake goods for shoppers.
Petaling Street is particularly famous for its all-day line of stalls, that sell Fake branded goods, such as: wallets, handbags, t-shirts, watches, shoes, DVDs, dresses, sunglasses, software, music CDs and souvenirs and many other things.
You can buy Fake goods of brand name, for example Rolex, Seiko, Cartier, Christian Dior, Adidas, Nike, Calvin Klein, Armani, Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, you name it, they may have it.
Have you bought any thing fake from Petaling Street?

Is there an equivalent street in Sing?
Yenjai, not really an equivalent street in Singapore, you may find one or two shops, but hard to spot them
Sim Lim Square used to be heaven for prirated DVD/CD, but now no more.
If shops selling Fake goods such as LV, CK .. very soon you will see the news, because was raided for selling fake goods.
This is a very nice take on the theme. I was supposed to post a similar entry, ‘havens of fake items’ here in the Philippines but got no picture of them. Have a great weekend!
Lynn, thanks for your message.
what a beautiful looking street!! Great shot!
Great take on the theme. We lived in Korea for 2 years and saw lots of those fake goods. Never took photos, though.
What an interesting place to visit…. good deals I presume!
SRP, remember to bargain, at least ask for 50% OFF from the quoted price.
Oh yes I know these fakes from Egypt and the Canarian Islands, my husband once bought a Rolex and I a few of Dior T-shirts, lol !
Fond memories of that Petaling Street. Haven’t gone there for years. Happy 070707 and a Happy Weekend
