Shopping At Central Market
Posted on Mar 02, 2010 under shopping | 27 CommentsThis is a continuation of my earlier post. We went to Central Market over the weekend as we wanted to take Ashley on a train ride. While there, I came across a charming little shop which sells lots of trinkets, beautiful lanterns and other decorative items for home. I just adore them and we spent quite a while in this shop. Wish I found out about this shop before Chinese New Year. I would have bought a few things to decorate my home for the new year. The owner of this shop told me that many hotels in KL as well as banks like HSBC and OCBC would order the lanterns or table runners from them to decorate their premises.
A look at some of things in the shop. Lanterns with lots of beadworks
Lucky Nonya is the name of the shop
I couldn’t resist when I saw this pair of cute butterflies. It is hanging at my front door’s handle now. Price – rm10
a red dragonfly table runner – rm10
Upstairs are shops which sell batik clothings. My mom bought sweet green batik dress for Ashley
That’s all we bought at Central Market. I would definitely go back and visit the Lucky Nonya again. There are too many nice things in that shop and very reasonably priced too.

The green batik dress is so beautiful. I love shopping at Central Market too, but the last time I been there was more than 10 years ago. That time I still studied at KL.

Yes, they are reasonably priced, and definitely better than those I saw at Metrojaya

i totally missed central market. I did take a train there and walked to petaling street and the prices there are a bit steep, maybe too commercialized. Must remember Lucky Nyonya next year.. or maybe b&k now ?? LOL !

Wow! i really like the butterflies and i think it is a steal for RM10!! cos it’s handmade kan!?
and cute dress for Ashley!

WOW…..so colourful and attractive!!! By the way, did you see the 12 zodiac animals hanging thingy like your butterfly kind? If you did, do you know how much?
hey Ann, I didn’t see the zodiac animal trinket at this shop but i have seen this before at Parkson before CNY. I think they price were between rm29 to rm39. i also saw a trinket with 4 butterflies in different colours but I didn’t get it then. I so regret it now

I love the shop. Pity I didn’t get to visit Central Market on my last trip.

Wow, I love the butterfly hanging thing too. The last time I was at Central market was way back when I was 18 years old!!! Vaguely remember the building but I still have the tshirt by artist PekSum I bought there…filled with little holes now!
sadly i can’t find pek sum’s stuff anymore. her tshirts were the rage in the 80’s
