CNY 2019
The Chinese Zodiac Year of the pig is upon us in 2019. Chinese new year falls on the 5th Feb.
It is pretty close the start of the new year where XMAS is just over.
We can see Chinese New Year ornaments replacing XMAS ornaments.
In Pavilion KL, Malaysia, the XMAS building decoration has been removed. It appears MayBank has replaced Huawei to be the sponsor of the decorations instead.

A view from the 5th level down towards the atrium. Fill with red lanterns. Golden pillars lined the sides.
From the main entrance of the mall, a string of red lanterns greet the visitor. It is crowded.
Since, it is few weeks before CNY, I decided to walk a stroll along Chinatown in KL. Petaling street.
It is convenient to reach there via the MRT. The station is Pasar Seni. It is a station away from KL Sentral.
Once, I step out from the MRT, I can see a shop selling CNY decorations.
There are lots of red lanterns. I realise it is popular in Malaysia given that most Chinese lives in landed property. They can hang these lanterns outside and inside their houses.
The other end of the street.
Since, it is close to Chinese new year , you can find shops selling traditional delicacies.

I decided to have another walk along chinatown. This time is starting from the opposite end of the town. I started from the Chinatown Point.
They have a bazaar outside the mall. It is inside a aircon tent. The stall is selling Pomelo and traditional goodies.
Peanuts is a common delicacy during chinese new year. There are many flavours to choose from.

I was intrigued and have a closer look.
Decided to walk into the shop. There is a number of customers. There are many selection of ornaments, It is similar to XMAS except the trinkets are mainly red and gold in colour.
I was making a mental comparison of the prices here vs Singapore. I think it is similar. Here may have more variety especially the large ornaments.
After the shop, it is Petaling street. It is not closed to vehicular traffic. One needs to be aware and careful. There are lots of small shops flanking the street.
Shops selling from food to counterfeit goods.
You can notice that there is a glass ceiling built along the street. It helps to prevent rain and heat. It is very nice. Red lanterns are hung along the street.
