Kwai Chai Hong, Chinatown KL

Long time ago when i came to this area, the kwai chai hong aka Little Ghost Alley simply doesn't exist yet. It was just a dull back alley.
So, this time, on the 7th month of lunar calendar (The Ghost month) I visited again to experience the ambience.
The lit-up lanterns decorated the quiet alley.
Opening hours till midnite...free entry.
The bridge-like entrance....do you notice the mannequin in cheongsam? Looks creepy at night.
More lanterns...bright and colorful!
The wall painting, the left are more like 'Shanghai' meanwhile the right more to SG kinda Chinatown vibe.
All sort of shapes as lanterns.....There's a gunny sack too!
Not far is the Old China Cafe....it serves peranakan cuisine...menu looks good too. I should go try their peranakan cuisine one day.

Some paintings below the flyover.
Nearby the Merdeka 118 MRT station....spotted a cool urban cat. Not the friendly type.....the cat just sat on the mid-hill and gave a blank stare....
Not far i spotted a rat crossing the road, here the rat roams freely coz the cat doesn't care.
[Below] Merdeka MRT station....
GenX & millennials Malaysian - are you still able to recite the 5 principles of Rukun Negara?
hehe....no people......
coz i booked the entire station

Neighborhood ktv cum Japanese restaurant (Warakuya) so bright at night.

Hello Nux, thankfully the comments on Blogger are working again. Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog letting me know that you had the same problem.
This looks like an interesting place! I enjoyed seeing all your photos, and thank you for sharing the photo of the cat. The cat is beautiful, probably was well fed and not hungry, so he didn't need to go after the rat. :)
