Food in Kuala Lumpur & Petaling Jaya

Food Stalls and Outlets - Non - Halal Eateries , Halal Eateries

Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia. It is very much like any other city. Overcrowded with high-rise blocks, traffic congestions, shopping malls, entertainment spots, Kuala Lumpur has them all. What's great about KL remains in the less glorified attractions like the pasar malam (night markets), the mamak stalls (Malaysian's version of side walk cafes), the alleys and the makcik selling kuihs (pastries) and nasi lemak.

When you descend upon KL, the one thing you must not miss out on is the FOOD. Make time to dine and devour. Skip the shopping or the sight seeing if you have to. When in Malaysia, get yourself involved in our favourite pastime : Malaysians love to eat and we eat ALL the time.

Here's the opener : There is simply a lot to choose from. Try these for starters…..

Jalan Alor - Formerly known as the Red light district of KL. The area has since undergone a number of facelifts, and the hosts now cater more to delight the gastronomical passions of its patrons. The stalls are parked all along the street. It is quite an overwhelming experience for the first timers, who may have some difficulty on deciding where to eat.

How to get there - Across the road from Bukit Bintang Plaza. Turn in at corner of KFC. Opening hours : from about 6.00pm to wee hours of the morning.

Uptown Damansara - A more municipalised version of Jalan Alor. The 'stalls' are assigned and numbered in concrete shoplots. The place lacks the liberated charm of Jalan Alor, but there are plenty of scrumptious choices to amuse your senses. Malay, Chinese, Indian, Fusion, they have it all. Here, Tony's Fried Kueh Teow is the favourite.

How to get there - Take the Damansara Highway and follow signs to Damansara Utama. Or bus no 21A or 21C from Kota Raya.

Opens : all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Petaling Street - Here is where you will find some truly fantastic Chinese food. Tourists, start with the menu. The pictures on the menu will give you a good indication of what your meal will look like. Other than the invitation to tropical al-fresco dining, your hosts may also impress you with their good selection of beer. The Hokkien Noodles at the corner of Hong Leong Bank is quite popular judging from the long queues of people waiting to place their order. Don't be disheartened. It is really worth the wait.

Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman - Coliseum. This is one of those places where when the colonials left, it is like they never did. Dark, dank and smokey,white tableclothes yellowed with time. Even some of the waiters are as old as the hills. Perfect! What an ambience to soak yourself in and enjoy your steak and mushroom. Or hang out at the bar, and get yourself informed on the latest gossip in town. There are never short of exciting characters to chat with at the Coliseum.

The list of what and where to EAT is endless, widen your gastronomical tentacles by clicking to this website www.klue.com.my

We have compiled our own list of where to go in KL if you're looking for something in particular or if you've run out of places to go and would just like to try out some for the pure joy of doing what Malaysian's do best.... rating food!
