  Yap Ah Loy, a powerful Chinese leader opened a tapioca mill in Petaling Street where tubers from his farms were brought to be ground into flour. This is why even till today, Petaling Street is called 'Chee Cheong Kai' which means 'starch factory street' in the Cantonese dialect.

  Petaling Street is famous for it's the street food. Try a local fruit called the 'air mata kucing' which means 'cat's eye', mixed with syrup and ice. 'Air mata kucing' makes a good icy drink on a hot day. Other stalls offer a variety of Chinese pancakes, chessnuts, 'tau foo fah' which is a soy bean dessert, and a host of other interesting Chinese street food.
