Kuala Lumpur is a modern city that has sprouted an endless field of skyscrapers, many of them with fancy grocery stores within the fancier malls that occupy the base of tall buildings. If you're looking for something different, some of that old world shopping experience, there are still a handful of "wet" markets spread throughout the city.
Meat men.

In our neighborhood, head to the Keramat market. "Wet" means that in addition to vegetables, there will be meat and seafood. The "wet" is named for the wet floors, a by-product of all the melting ice that's thrown around. Among other fluids.
The market.
