Many of the houses still retain their old looks (above), probably because the owners have moved away and rented out to students from TAR College or MIA, or office workers. . Those who decide to stay, well, make a castle out of their common abodes (below).
To know why this place is booming, visit it in the evenings. You will see scoreds of hungry college students queueing for their meals at the many 'chup-fun' (mixed rice) stalls there. Office workers come at 6pm till 8pm, of course. And the LRT station beside this thoroughfare also helps.
Food is cheap of course and plentiful, and so is the money to be made here from hungry students. And yes, stalls too fight for business with the established restaurants. The designer cafes which came up in 2007 also offer variety and give some exclusivity to those who want some "class".
This is one place you have to consider yourself lucky if you can find parking between 11am to 10pm, after businesses close.

Dear Sir,
Thanks to create this blog.
I am one of the wangsa maju residents.
Personally I feel sad with the action of DBKL. DBKL shall give some times to the chinese owner to move thier thing out.
2) How come it only happened for chinese stall? Why Malay stall nothing happened?
3) Due to this incident, they are limited supply of food/ restaurant, I hope the price of the food will not increase. Otherwise, it may increase the burden of wangsa maju residents.
4) Gov really need to stand out to help the W maju resident in this incident. Please explain to the media what is going on.
Pls help.
Sincerely thanks.
