About Jalan Alor

Right from Menara Kuala Lumpur to the Perdana Botanical Gardens, the capital city of Kuala Lumpur is brimming with beautiful attractions waiting to be explored. Yet another jewel in the crown of the city is the Jalan Alor Food Street. This unique food destination is a crowd pleaser! The traditional yesteryear vibe of the food street stands in stark contrast to the bright shining lights and modern structures of the city. The street, however, hides a dark past of its own! Jalan Alor used to be a red-light district and even today there are a few traces left of these activities on this street. However, nothing takes away from the rows of seats on both sides of the street filled with enthusiastic foodies gorging on delicious street food. You don’t want to miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity of tasting the speciality dishes only available in these food stalls.

Tips

  • Be careful of snatch and pickpockets.
  • Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, use a GPS to get around.
  • Bring a bottle of mineral water along.
  • The food at end of Alor St seems to be better.
  • Try the Hokkien noodles at the lowest end of the street or at meng kee.
  • There is great food in the streets around the Main Strip.
  • Don't be fooled by staff trying to get you into their restaurant and offer you deals. Towards the end of the street (where it is less packed) is also where a lot of the locals eat. But if you want to minimize your risk of getting sick, eat where the crowds are bigger.
