Bangsar Lifestyle

Getting There

KL Sentral, the integrated transportation hub is just minutes away Bangsar is the unofficial border between Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, making it a strategic location. With easy accessibility from Jalan Bangsar on one side (which links to the Federal Highway and city centre) and the other end from Jalan Damansara (connecting to Jalan Duta and the North-South Highway), Bangsar has become a central location that connects major roads and destination.

KL Central Station

With the New Pantai Expressway (NPE), one can travel from Subang Jaya to Bangsar in merely 15 minutes or vice versa. Through Putra LRT (Light Rail Transit) along Jalan Bangsar, traveling is much more convenient. There are also a fleet of taxis along Jalan Bangsar and almost everywhere in Bangsar. Further down in Brickfields, the central hub of transportation in Malaysia, KL Sentral, provides all your needs for transportation. KL Sentral is an integrated transportation hub with a City Air Terminal, KLIA Express, Monorail, Putra LRT (Light Rail Transit) and KTM (train) and not forgetting a fleet of taxis - all in one place, you will never miss that plane again! KL International Airport is merely 30 minutes away. KL City Centre (KLCC) is just 15 minutes away with Putra LRT. 

Eating and Drinking

Bangsar has a wide enough array of cuisine to satisfy any craving - Chinese, Indian, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, American and European. Some cater to vegetarians.

Just like any other town in Malaysia, Bangsar has a good spread of local food.

Indian Muslim Mamak stalls, South Indian banana leaf restaurants and Malay warungs are easily found. They are usually cheap, although prices in Bangsar are on average higher than elsewhere. Roadside hawkers usually open ini the evenings and close late. In fact, there are a number of 24-hour Mamak and banana leaf restaurants. It is usually acceptable for one to patronize these joints and order nothing but drinks, except during busy hours. Chinese kopitiam and seafood restaurants meanwhile are a little harder to find outside Lucky Garden. Alcohol is usually available.

There is also a hawker centre in Bangsar Baru, sometimes referred to as Bangsar Mamak, sited at the former Jolly Green Giant, although it has appeared to have long passed its golden age. Roadside stalls that serve drinks, local cakes, burgers and hotdogs and cut fruit can be found on many street corners. Ice cream, pastry, satay, rojak and milk is also sold on motorcycles and vans. A large pasar malam, or night market, each Sunday lends the Bangsar Baru a colourful flavour. There is also a daily wetmarket in Lucky Garden every morning. Another lesser known pasar malam is held in Bukit Bangsar on Wednesdays. Recent additions include One Bangsar (a string of new restaurants in Jalan Ara, a hillside street near the Telawi area), Bangsar Village and a remodelled Bangsar Shopping Centre.
