Kandahar, Baghdad, Muscat and Arab Street no i have not gone to the middle east only as far as Kampung Glam (Gelam which is a type of tree) where these are just some of the colourful street names. This semi restored area fascinates me and i have gone there several times to take pictures as well as to hit the coffee shops, there is a flavour in the area that i just cant seem to catch with my trusty camera if you ask me to describe the taste of the place it would be simply Masala Tea.
Flanked on two ends by the Gold Domed (where the Golden for the golden landmark hotel gets its name) Sultan Mosque and the beautiful blue tiled Malabar Mosque its the bits between that make this area a cultural landmark
Some of the old shophouse's have yet to be "restored". Above you can see the typically long buildings
Its still a very much lived in area, not just for tourist and locals to chill.

I snuck into an abandoned building to take a look.
