Renewmart Shah Alam

Seek and you will find – even if you end up in the outskirts of Selangor doing so. Renewmart, formerly Meng Fong Trading, has three outposts in Ampang Utama, near the Ampang LRT and Shah Alam. Go to the Shah Alam showroom; it’s over 60,000 sq ft crammed with quality, well-preserved junk furniture, whether antiques or mod. Everything is on the cheap, or at least fairly priced: beds, cabinets, chairs, lamps and tables, as well as art pieces, electrical equipment, and kitchenware such as cups, stained plates and the like. Highlights include a four-panel folding screen, a pair of stone lion statues and, oddly, a mannequin.
