7. Pekan Rabu Complex
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By amarbento - Kangar, Malaysia
New renovated Pekan Rabu. Its a place to buy traditional gifts & craft. Its a good place to get local snacks, clothing and souvenirs. If you want to get the local foods go up to the top floor either by stairs or lift. If you want to buy cloth and traditional material you can get it from the lower ground until the second floor. There's also a food-court on the ground floor to fill up your tummy with local food. The price of goods there is quite reasonable.
