What you'll do

Stroll Kuala Lumpur’s food stall-lined streets, laden with tropical fruits, that lure you in with intoxicating aromas of sizzling spices. Follow your local guide through back-alleys and explore hidden streets as you taste your way through the Indian-influenced neighborhood of Brickfields. Sample spicy bites on banana leaves or try traditional gulab jamun - fried dough balls soaked in a delicate rose-water syrup. Snack on dim sum delights in Chinatown or feast on a bowl of delicious Hokkien noodles before your next stop. Follow your food-loving guide to Jalan Alor and Changkat - famed for their hawker food, ideal locales to try dishes like the fragrant nasi lemak rice or end of your experience with a cup of teh tarik, a sweet pulled tea.

Where you’ll go

Kuala Lumpur is a city best discovered on foot and there’s nowhere better to start than the city’s 120-year-old Central Market. Let your local host guide your taste buds on a tour through the Indian-influenced neighborhood of Brickfields, where the aromatic spices will have your mouth watering, stop for a baked masala vadai and savor a few different curries, lapped up with warm Indian-style bread. Hop on the sky-high transit system and head to Chinatown for a showcase of the multicultural roots of Malaysia, as you enjoy some noodles and freshly-squeezed juice. It’s apt that we leave Jalan Alor for last,  lined with hundreds of ‘mamak’ stalls selling everything from fresh fruit to barbecued meats, this entire street is dedicated to food.
