    Royal Selangor Pewter Factory

    Located 8km northeast of the city centre is Malaysia’s leading manufacturer of pewter. As well as traditional tankards and the like, it has commissioned modern designers to produce some very appealing gifts. For RM50 you can try your own hand at creating a pewter dish. Take the LRT to Wangsa Maju station and then a taxi (RM3). Alternatively, visit its main outlet ([tel] 3182 0240) on level one of Suria Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

    Peter Hoe Evolution

    Peter Hoe’s original batik designs on sarongs, shirts and dresses are the main drawcard here, but you’ll find many tastefully arranged Malaysian and imported Asian home goods, too. There’s also a much bigger store (Peter Hoe Beyond; [tel] 2026 9788; 2nd floor Lee Rubber Building, 145 Jln Tun HS Lee; open 10am to 7pm) with a pleasant cafe around the corner on the 2nd floor of the old Lee Rubber Building.
