    I have never been to Malaysia, but would consider a visit to explore, inspired by your UA-cam video. Kuala Lumpur looks like a beautiful, interesting city. Malaysian culture is pretty fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

      If you come next year, look out for the Rainforest Music Festival on the Malaysian island of Borneo (Sarawak).
      Do make your way to the Malaysian States of Sabah and Sarawak… which many visitors missed when they visit and talk about Malaysia.

    Welcome to Malaysia. Hope you have an awesome time here. Here are a list of food that you should try:
    1. Nasi Lemak (National Dish) - Sold just about everywhere, they may be served in a dish, or better yet, wrapped in banana leaf
    2. Roti Canai with Dhal and/or Curry sauce - You can get it at any Mamak Restaurant.
    3. Char Koay Teow - some of the best char koay teow can be found at hawker stalls/night markets
    4. Curry Laksa
    5. Satay - again you can find these at night markets/stalls by the roadside
    6. Chilli Pan Mee
    7. Chicken/Beef Rendang - you can eat it with rice, or if you're lucky enough you can eat it with Lemang (sticky rice soaked with coconut juice and heated up in bamboo sticks)
    8. Apam Balik - dessert
    9. Cendol - super awesome thirst quenching dessert
    10. Ramly Burger - Ramly is a brand name for the patty and you can find roadside burger stalls selling them.
    11. Teh Tarik - literally means "Pulled Tea"
    ENJOY!

      You can check out vlogs by JetLag Warriors, Ken Abroad, Travel Gamers and a couple others who were stuck in Malaysia for almost a year due to the closed borders. At the moment, JetLag Warriors are exploring Sabah and will head over to Sarawak to meet Ken Abroad there, the last two States they’ve not been too in Malaysia. They’re probably going to join the Rainforest Music Festival. Borneo Jazz Festival will be on 26th. - 29th. June.

    Malaysian or "Malay" food is more available at Kampung Bharu which is not that far from Bukit Bintang. Malaysia is really diverse there is a huge Malay, Chinese, Indian populations and have a big population of Thai, Arabs, Bangladeshi, Indonesian immigrants as well. So the food u saw in Bukit Bintang its a mixture. U can see Thai, Chinese, some Malay & Indian restaurants, etc.

      2-Sabah Sarawak (Crystal Blue Island)

    Jalan alor is mix of vietnamese, thai and malaysian food. Some western food too. So up to you to choose. It is not specifically all malaysian food. But do not forget there are thai malaysian communities here. So it is not surprising to find thai food.
    For authentic malaysian food.
    1. China town - chinese food
    2. Brickfields - indian food
    3. Kampung baru - malay food
    I am not sure how much spicy you can eat, you can try it. Most food in malaysia can be spicy because of chilli and curry.

    Being in Malaysia i havent seen you try any Malaysian dish. For breakfast you should try roti canai, our national dish called nasi lemak, drink Teh Tarik, nasi kandar. There's a 24 hr mamak restaurant near petronas tower called PELITA. Should try also cheese naan or garlic naan with tandoori chicken. Enjoy your trip. We have something quite similar but not the same to pad thai. Its called Char Kueh Tiaw. Do a bit of research on food to eat when in Malaysia so that you wont miss out on our unque cuisine as Malaysia is a melting pot of 3 big races ie. Chinese, Indian and Malays.

    Dont forget to visit Malacca in the South of Malaysia and Penang in the North of Malaysia as well as both States are a Food Paradise .. Tourists may not know where to get all the local food fares but from a local standpoint .. If you love food .. Then Malacca and Penang are 2 of the states worth visiting .. Not just food but also places of attractions .. As a Malaccan .. There are many places which one can visit .. For instance .. The Stadhuys Dutch Square .. Victoria Fountain .. St Paul's Hill (an old church ruin sitting atop St Paul's Hill) overlooking the Straits of Malacca .. St Peter's Church (17th Century Catholic Church .. 1710 to be precise) .. St Francis Xavier Church .. Jonker Street (a popular Night Market) .. Malacca River Cruise (murals and artworks along the river) .. All of these are within the same area and walking distance .. When in Jonker Street .. try sampling Formosa Chicken Rice Balls and also the old colonial Geographer Cafe for old styled cafe experience .. You may also want to visit Portuguese Settlement for their Seafood .. For Peranakan Cuisine .. Try Nancy's Kitchen at Kota Laksamana and Baba Charlie at Jalan Tengkera for their desserts .. Try Klebang Coconut Shake at Klebang Beach and also Satay Celup (skewered ingredients on stick dipped in peanut sauce) at Jalan Ong Kim Wee .. Wan Ton Noodles opppsite Tun Tuah Secondary School is also a must try .. They opened in the evening around 6pm .. At the restaurant .. You may also try their Fried Oyster Omelette and Grilled Chicken Wings glazed with Honey and etc ..

    Think several people have mentioned the staples but defo try the local Chinese, Indian and Malay food. The first two are different from what you get in the UK (which are mainly Cantonese and North Indian style while in Malaysia it’s more southern Chinese and Indian style with local influence and herbs/spices); Malay food in London isn’t as good and not to mention quite pricey.
    Well, anything Malaysian in London is usually exorbitant in comparison. For example you can get roti canai at Roti King just next to Paddington station for 6 quid. In Malaysia it’s about 2 ringgit a piece
    And my biggest pet peeve living in the UK is being served “satay” made from chicken breast with a peanut butter dip. Just no. Try the Malaysian satay and you’ll know what I mean

    Yup. it's weird. coffee shop does open late here. the only coffe shop that wil open early are the local kopitiam with local type coffee.

    malaysia food include chinese, indian, malay, sabahan, sarawakian food. so, if you've eaten any of those, you've eaten malaysian food.

    A very young city ........ Kuala Lumpur's early history started taking shape when the state of Selangor gained eminence in the 16th century as tin deposits, a material much needed by western colonists to build their empire, was found. This brought the Chinese and the Bugis, Malays from Maccassar, into the state's economics and politics. There they established themselves throughout the 18th century, thus forming the Selangor sultanate.
    Kuala Lumpur (KL) itself was not built yet until 1857 when 87 Chinese tin miners ran up the Klang River and set up a village at the river's muddy confluence. This soon gave birth to the city's name ' Kuala Lumpur ' which means 'muddy confluence? in Malay. The spot where it all began is overlooked today by the city's oldest mosque, Masjid Jamek, built back in 1908.
    Unfortunately KL burned to the ground a few years later and Yap Ah Loy's Chinatown today has lost much of its original shacks and buildings.
    Towards the end of Yap Ah Loy's era, the British stepped into the picture in 1874 when a Resident was brought in to stem the fighting amongst the Malays, Chinese and Bugis. 22 years later, during which time the Malay Federated States were formed to consolidate all the Malay states, the British pulled Selangor into the federation and made KL the capital.
    With that came the beginning of the growth of KL into a mining town of gambling dens and brothels, and of the infamous Chinese clans or secret societies. The continuous fighting amongst these tongs worried the headmen so much that they elected a 'Kapitan Cina? (Malay for Chinese captain), a man named Yap Ah Loy, to establish peace and order. This was the very man venerated as the founding father of KL.
    KL was to become historically significant again in 1957 when the first Malayan flag was raised on the grounds of the cricket field, known today as Merdeka Square, to mark the independence of the country from British rule

    If you visit Malaysia it would be nice to spend 5 days or more to see Sabah and Sarawak. Lots of beautiful islands for diving and snorkelling, crystal clear waters in Sabah, delicious local food and friendly people.
    You can take a direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau, stay a night or two, enjoy the cheap fresh seafood, visit Tawau Hills Park at Table waterfalls for the hotsprings and clear rivers.
    Then after few days head to Semporna town ( 1 hour drive) which is like a pit stop before going to the many islands ( Mabul, Sipadan etc) for World class diving or just chilling at their resorts.
    Often so many tourist only stop at Kuala lumpur for few days but they always missed out on the hidden gem of Borneo East Malaysia which is Sabah and Sarawak.

    It's not a night market, it's a food street where the tables spread out at night. There is local cuisine but overwhelmed by foreign exotica. A true night market will also sell goods, not just food. Connaught night market, longest is worth a visit, 6-11pm. MRT & feeder bus only Wed nights. Other nights elsewhere in other neighbourhoods. Enjoy your stay. Hope you visit Sabah/ Sarawak too.

    I have to say that Jln. Alor nowadays have been a bit of a scam. Instead of offering mostly Malaysian food, lots of stalls and restaurants there offer Thai and Vietnamese food. No offence but they’re great for locals like me since we can’t go off to Thailand to eat Thai food in a snap of the finger or Vietnamese food too. But for tourists like yourself, it would be a great experience to come to Malaysia and eat actual Malaysian food. For that, I think Kampung Baru is the best place for Malay food. East Malaysian food is best in their place of origin. Even in KL itself, they get some tweaking sometimes because the ingredients aren’t easily available or sometimes tweaked to suit the local taste especially the “kolok mi (mee?)”. Chinese and Indian food are easy to find.
