About
This former red-light area is now one of Kuala Lumpur’s top culinary destinations. The sidewalks are lined with seafood eateries, hawker stalls, and coffee shops serving some of Malaysia’s best hawker fare. You’ll find delicious street food like satay, BBQ chicken wings, stir-fried noodles, and also desserts. Wash it all down with some ice-cold beer or the locals’ favorite: sugarcane juice. This buzzing street draws budget travelers for its affordable prices and shutterbugs for its nostalgic vibes. Join a food tour of Kuala Lumpur, which will bring you to all the best food spots in Jalan Alor and the city. – Tripadvisor

Don’t miss it
Jun 2023 • Couples
While in Kuala Lumpur, you cannot skip Jalan Alor. This street is situated in the Bukit Bintang area and is THE foodstreet by far. Nothing much to do during daytime. But after 5 pm, it all comes to life. Streetlife but then aimed at food. There is an abundance of restaurants and Hawker stalls. They cater for everyones needs. The proces are not over the top, although you shouldn’t expect to eat very cheap either. Give it a go. You will not be disappointed.

If this review was helpfull to you, pleas give a “usefull vote” so I know I was of help to you. Enjoy your stay!

Busiest food street in Asia
Apr 2023 • Couples
I think it's the best famous food street in Asia. Close to Lot 10. The street is crowded with more than 200 food joints offering asian cuisine from Japan to India. Different fruits are also available

Jalan Alor didn't disappoint.
May 2023 • Solo
I watched an episode of No Reservations with the late Anthony Bourdain before I left home for Kuala Lumpur. He recommended the garlic crab.

Much to my delight,Jalan Alor was a short 15-minute walk from my hotel. I was in search of a good meal after my 20-hour flight from Los Angeles. I walked around to see the many food stalls. I finally found a restaurant for crab. It didn't disappoint. I ordered the Black Pepper sauce. It was delicious.

Great atmosphere, difficult for vegetarians but options available.
Mar 2023 • Friends
Really great food market on the street at night. Would recommend going for the atmosphere if nothing else. Not many vegetarian options available (as is expected) but more than most and if you ask some restaurants will do a meat-free version of some dishes on the menu.

Delicious!
Mar 2023
Even if you aren't particularly hungry, you will be once you smell all the great food on the grills and see the beautiful fruit offered for sale. This is a food lovers paradise! Go after 5 pm, or if you happen to be in that area in the morning, I have also found a couple of great street vendors selling breakfast. Definitely try the nasi lemak -- day or night.
