I’m planning a trip to Kuala Lumpur and I’m excited to explore its street food scene, which I’ve heard is incredible. Since I really want to experience authentic local flavors, I’m looking for advice from people who’ve done it before.
Some questions I have:
Which street food areas or night markets are must-visits for first-time visitors? (e.g., Jalan Alor, Petaling Street, Kampung Baru)
What are the signature dishes I absolutely have to try? (Nasi lemak, satay, roti canai, laksa, etc.)
Are there any hidden gems or stalls known for amazing food that tourists often miss?
How safe is it to explore street food late at night, and are there tips for hygiene or avoiding tourist traps?
Is it worth taking a guided street food tour, or can I explore on my own and still get an authentic experience?
Any recommendations for vegetarian or dietary-specific options in KL’s street food scene?
I’d love to hear your personal experiences, favorite stalls, and insider tips to make my Kuala Lumpur street food adventure unforgettable!
