We went there because it was convenient. We were rushing during our day trip and we parked in the covered parking lot at Dataran Pahlawan. My Mum wanted some belacan. Easy decision then. There was a bazaar next to the car park and it had all the usual things you needed to bring back to KL. It might not be the best of quality but when you have to grab something quick, this would do.
Idlan wondering why it was called "gula Melaka"
Still fascinated
TidbitsThis bazaar was called the "Heritage Bazaar", which hosted plenty of the stalls selling the usual touristy tidbits. It occupied quite a large portion of the lower ground floor at Dataran Pahlawan and it was usually filled by tourist. Of course we paid tourist price to buy the stuff there but the local guys there was really nice in making sure we get value for money.
So, in the end we got our belacan, cencalok and some cookies. Idlan got some things to fiddle with, so he was happy. And I didn't have to walk far to the car after that ...
