Pudu Plaza, One of the Nostalgic Hong Kong Store From the 70s
If you live in a neighborhood in Mid-Levels, you must remember the words “Hong Kong Store”. In the editor’s mind, the most impressive thing is to buy Chinese New Year goods and grab soft drinks in Hong Kong stores! During the Lunar New Year, as long as you live in the neighborhood of Kuala Lumpur, you must go to Hong Kong stores to buy New Year’s goods.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year and the 15th Lantern Festival, there will be lion dance performances, drums and gongs, and the sound of firecrackers. There is a New Year atmosphere in the whole Pudu.
Even the children at the time would often go to the ground floor to play video game consoles. Home video game consoles were still popular at the time. Children like to watch people playing video games in front of the TV. On weekends, families will eat in the food court on the ground floor. The scene is very lively.
In addition, there are three elementary schools around the Hong Kong store. Every day after school, you have to go through the back panel house and then through the Hong Kong store before going home. This is the only way to go.
When I was in middle school, I used to work in it during the summer vacation.
This can be said to be the place where the residents of Mid-levels like to gather. It is a pity that after many years of prosperity, a financial crisis broke out in a Hong Kong store in the early 2000s, which led to the closure of the business and was replaced by the Global Supermarket. Pudu Plaza has been open for many years and is now a gathering place for local middle-aged and elderly people and foreign workers.
