Living in Gombak area, my main site for getting bites for iftar had always been either the Pasar Ramadan at Taman Melawati or nearer to home, Taman Melati.
The old Melawati site was convenient for me from the parking standpoint as well as access in and out. This year, the old site was being built up, and the vendors were moved further behind the old site and it was a nightmare.
Not only that parking was an issue, the the capacity of the place was also down to 25% of what it was. A major difference. It was more of a downgrade and hopefully it was just a temporary measure. As it went, I don't think the place would be attractive next year.
Instead of having four rows of stalls alongside each other, it was now just one long narrow lane with stalls lining both sides. Not fun to walk through. And the traffic jam....
The site was alongside one if the main back road in Melawati - leading up to the K Klub and the International School further down. As a result, the traffic was murder. I parked quite far away from the bazaar and ended up making a u-turn to return home. Nightmare.
Unfortunately, we might have to return here from time to time. And I'd better come in super early during weekends because the traffic would not too kind. Good luck to me...
