Village in the Kuala Lumpur city
Kampung Baru really needs no introduction – despite the rapid development in Kuala Lumpur, it remains untouched and reminds us of what used to be.
Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru
This mosque is famous for its annual Bubur Lambuk that is prepared in tens of cauldrons on a daily basis during the holy month of Ramadan. It is also one of the religious landmarks in the city and remains the anchor of the closely-knit community here.
Jalan Raja Muda Stadium
Formerly known as the TPCA Stadium, it was the venue for hockey matches before a national hockey stadium was built at Jalan Duta. It is also home to many historical events during the 1950s and also one of the venues where rallies were held during periods of political upheaval.
Chow Kit Road Market
Having been around for more than 50 years, the Chow Kit Road market is a landmark that has not changed much over the years. Most cityfolk come here to do their daily or weekly shopping and most of the traders are on a first-name basis with their customers. Naturally, discounts are aplenty if you know the traders and buy wholesale.
Old Malay homes
With many homes more than a century old, Kampung Baru has retained its quaint surroundings. One only needs to stroll within Kampung Baru to feel the ambience that prevailed during the late 1950s and 1960s.
Kuala Lumpur Hospital
This hospital was established in 1870 with only three wards and in more than 100 years, it has expanded to over 38 departments and units with a staff of about 7,000. It is also the biggest hospital in South-East Asia. It provided over 700,000 with outpatient treatment and had 124,000 warded patients last year.
Nasi Bubur Berlauk
One thing you will notice in Kampung Baru is its numerous food outlets. You will find porridge with an endless variety of accompanying dishes. Kampung Baru is also a melting pot of the cuisines of all the country’s Malay states.
Kuala Lumpur International Hotel
With almost 500 rooms, it is no wonder that this was once the most-sought after hotel for seminars and meetings as the reasonably priced hotel offers convenience and comfort, right in the heart of the city.
Universiti Kuala Lumpur City Campus
This landmark marks the end of Kampung Baru, where it joins into the elite Jalan Sultan Ismail where five-star hotels are situated. The university itself is an impressive building and is self-contained.
Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa
This is where you head to for authentic nasi lemak. One taste and you’ll be back to savour every dish that accompanies the rice cooked in coconut milk.
Sultan Sulaiman Club
Established in 1909, this club was named after the then Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Alaidin Sulaiman Shah ibni Almarhum Raja Muda Musa and became the club for the residents in Kampung Baru. This club has seen many historical events and is one of the oldest existing clubs today.
