If you’re wondering what’s next for Kuala Lumpur’s lifestyle scene, all signs point to The Exchange TRX. This month, the city’s newest social and retail destination launches Market Lane—a fresh creative hub celebrating local talent, indie makers, and foodies alike. And as if that isn’t enough, the ever-popular TRX Eats is back, turning the entire precinct into a culinary playground.
We paid a visit—and trust us, it’s exactly the kind of weekend outing that hits all the sweet spots: shopping, snacking, and soulful discoveries.
Forget cookie-cutter malls and repetitive store fronts. Market Lane, nestled on the Ground Floor, feels more like a love letter to Malaysian creativity. You’ll find a rotating roster of artisans, designers, and indie brands that feel personal, fresh, and incredibly Instagrammable.
The energy? Curated chaos in the best possible way. Street market vibes meet modern aesthetics, brought to life by events, live music (hello, TONGTONG Asia!), and hands-on workshops by The Messy Club.
While exploring Market Lane, make sure you take advantage of these limited-time perks:
- Hot Bird: 10% off all signature combos (3–6PM daily)
- Karaku: Tiered discounts + a free wallet for RM500 spends
- Storming Gravity: Free Wolf & Turtle drink with any drinkware purchase (first 100 only)
- Momo Yakitori: RM2 Tamago Yaki every Tuesday with purchase (9 May–1 June)
Running alongside Market Lane is TRX Eats, and it’s the food fest KL didn’t know it needed—until now. From Bertha-grilled meats at Tucker & Co to artisan gelato at Venchi, this precinct-wide culinary celebration encourages you to walk, taste, and repeat.
Pamper faves? The buy-2-get-1-free cream cheese bagels at Christine’s Bakery and the RM14-worth of free chocolate at Venchi (yes, please). The best part? Each stop offers more than just food—it’s a peek into KL’s evolving palate and its love affair with global flavours done right.
What The Exchange TRX has done here is more than launch a pop-up market or food campaign—it’s created a living, breathing space where creativity and community can thrive. And according to Jessica Leong, Head of Marketing, that’s entirely the point: “We’re building a space that connects commerce with culture, and people with place,” she shares. “We want every visit to feel exciting, authentic, and full of discovery.”
Mark your calendars for every weekend from 9 May to 1 June. Whether you’re going for the discounts, the music, or that satisfying bagel crunch—The Exchange TRX is where KL’s heart beats louder this month. For the latest updates, follow @theexchangetrx on Instagram or check out theexchange.my.
