Things I Like About Petaling Jaya

PJ(Petaling Jaya) has always been one of my favourite cities in Malaysia. Despite KL(Kuala Lumpur) being the capital of Malaysia, PJ has certainly never lacked in excitement compared to KL.

One of them is the hawker delicacies. PJ may not be the the best place to fulfill your crave for hawker delicacies compared to other places such as Penang and Ipoh where the varieties of hawker centres are seemingly endless, but the hawker centre in SS2 is certainly not a
site to be missed. It is the largest and most populous area of Petaling Jaya. One thing that sets it apart from any other places is the atmosphere. It's a place where you can really enjoy your food peacefully like in a 5 star restaurant while you're only sitting at the road side eating wanton mee. If you're lucky enough, there'll be musicians entertaining you at the roadside while you are enjoying your food.

That was in PJ, it is a totally different case back here where all you'll get is DVD vendors, lottery ticket sellers and a bunch of football freaks that annoy the heck out of you. Take DVD vendors for instant, they just won't let you enjoy your food peacefully. They'll come up to you and start bugging you to buy their DVDs where some movie titles you probably have never heard before
like Pirates of the Caribbean:Hairy Man's Chest or Harry Porter and the Odour of the Phoenix.

That's not all, Imagine this, you are enjoying your favourite hot steamy popiah and then the bugger sitting at the next table started shouting and cussing just because Cristiano Ronaldo missed the Penalty Kick. After a few minutes he settled down and thought that you could finally
enjoy your delicious popiah when out of a sudden he started shouting when Wayne Rooney scored a last minute goal. You'll probably choke on your popiah and lose your appetite feeling so tulan.


Another interesting fact about PJ is the residents. I noticed that most of them could speak fluent English. In fact few of my Chinese friends in PJ could only understand Malay and English languages. It is easier for me to communicate with them as i don't have to exercise my powderful mandarin skill.

Even those who could barely complete a simple sentence in English will at least try instead of just acting dumb. This is my conversation with a waiter in one of the restaurant in PJ:

Me: Can I have the bill please?
Waiter : Oh..err..err.bill? bill..you wait ar..i go take.. bill.

I laughed so hard i wet my pant was so impressed by his determination to complete that sentence. Seriosuly, most of the time people will just speak in the language they are comfortable with and not giving a single poop whether anyone could understand it. Though it took him quite awhile to complete the sentence but it was worth the wait.


With shopping malls like One Utama, The Curve, and Ikano Power Centre, PJ is for sure a shopping paradise. One Utama especially , since the opening of the new wing few years back it has become one of the best shopping mall in Malaysia

Even the parking rate is more reasonable than other shopping malls. It only costs RM1 for the first 7 hours(if I'm not mistaken) while places like Sungai Wang(aka lalaland) will probably need you to sell your kidney if you park there everyday.

I need to cut this short, feeling so hungry right now.
Anyway please do not get me wrong, after all I still love KL. In fact i personally designed a thong just to show ya'll how strong my love is.
