Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur (5♦)

Brickfields is Kuala Lumpur's biggest "Little India" and is located just south of the City Center. Its main road, Jalan Tun Sambanthan, formerly knowns as Brickfields Road, is lined from end to end with shops selling Indian clothing, provisions and foodstuff.

Brickfields used to be the main depot of the Malayan Railway during the British occupation. That depot has been transformed into the Kuala Lumpur Central Station (KL Sentral) which is an important hub for public transport users. Close by is the Thean Hou Temple which is a popular place where Chinese couples register their marriage. If you would like to stay longer, there are many hotels which you can stay at. Among the few are the Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur and the Hotel Summer View Kuala Lumpur.

Brickfields is famous throughout KL for its Indian, particularly the South Indian, "banana leaf" meal shops, which are cheap and extremely filling. There are also several Chinese coffeeshops offering the usual types of food. At the other end of the budget, KL Sentral's two five-star hotels have international-standard restaurants where you can dine in style. There is only one Western fast food place in Brickfields, KFC. In KL Sentral there are many eating places, including Western fast foods such as KFC, McDs, Burger King, and coffeeshops such as Coffee Bean, Starbucks, Secret Recipe, etc etc. There is also a food court on the top floor.

十五碑(小印度)

据马来西亚统计局2010年统计，马来西亚有2833万人，印度人占总人口的7.3%，印度族成为马来西亚的第三大民族。和华人一样，他们也喜欢聚集在一起，他们在吉隆坡集中居住的地方被称作小印度，也叫印度街。“小印度”离老火车站( KL Sentral)不远，轻轨的地名是十五碑(Brickfield)。2011年开始，这里的主要街道jalan tun sambanthan进行了“美化大改造”工程，被打造为吉隆坡市的另一旅游景点。“小印度”给人的感觉是一个纯粹的集市。该地区的主要街道Jl Masjid India 上满是莎丽服饰商店和购物的妇女，整条街淹没在一片艳丽的色彩之中。不知哪来的广播里播放着印度音乐，空气中弥漫着香味。听说周六的夜市场面尤为壮观。来到这里，立刻映入眼帘的是印度电影上那些熟悉的脸庞和街景。这是一个令人激动的地方，许多印度式景观，喧闹的声音和熙熙攘攘的人群。各种各样的商店里出售着你能想到的各种物品——香料、包装袋、花鞋、饰品，色彩艳丽的纱丽和纺织品，印度音乐和电影光碟，以及精细的黄金首饰。
