I remember my parents taking me there for roast chicken, seafood and rounds of beers and Baby Cham wine coolers.

Those days are gone. Brickfields was called such as there were brickworks and kilns there when Kuala Lumpur was slowly coming into itself as a city.

In fact, the road that skirts the YMCA down from Nagas is named Jalan Kandang Kerbau – Bull Pen Road – as that was where bulls that pulled the bullock-carts were kept just at the edge of city limits.

By the way, there is the Kandang Kerbau Hospital in Singapore – which was previously a bull pen too.

Nagas is nice and a good place to hang out late in the night and early in the morning!
