Kuala Lumpur is full of amazing Malaysian street food; you can find some of the most popular street food in the country here. With a large Chinese population, it’s next to impossible to run out of fantastic street foods to eat full of amazing local flavours. Located on Petaling Street in the centre of the city, Chinatown is where you can find some of the best Chinese street food in Kuala Lumpur.
We started our huge Chinatown street food tour early, since many stalls open first thing in the morning and close once they sell out! You don’t want to miss these popular Chinese street food stalls, so start early. The Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur might not be huge, but the history is incredible, with most stalls selling the same high quality street foods for over 50 years.
Some must eat Chinatown street foods that we made sure we tasted were roast duck, muah chee, congee, chee cheong fun, tau foo fah, and air mata kucing, just to name a few. It really takes a whole day to taste all the amazing flavours of Chinatown and experience the close-knit community within it.
The street food in Malaysia is so varied, with the best flavours, tastes and cooking styles around, no Malaysian street food tour of Kuala Lumpur is complete without visiting this amazing Chinatown and sampling your way through the best Chinese street food in Kuala Lumpur.
We hope you enjoy our huge Chinatown street food tour in Malaysia, tasting the best Chinese street food in Kuala Lumpur. Stay tuned for more food adventures full of huge street food tours in Malaysia.

Hey everyone!
What's the most interesting Chinatown you've ever been to? Let us know below and thanks for watching! ☺️🧡
³q⅕
Chinese or indian any day of the week.
Wooooow!!!! Another exciting video guys!! Your video brought us back some good old memories. All the food was just incredible. The last bowl of beef noodles was insane. Thanks a lot for sharing your food adventures with us. Keep up the great work guys ❤️❤️❤️
Those noodles were so good, there's so much tasty food in the KL Chinatown! Thanks so much for watching, we appreciate the support so much🧡
This is so nostalgic…. As a young kid , Petaling Street used to be the hangout place for a lot of us after school.The years have passed… but the eateries are still there .I still think that Malaysian Chinese food is the best in comparison to other countries😊
I'm sure a lot of it hasn't changed a bit, we couldn't believe how many amazing places have been around for decades and are still selling the same great quality dishes, just incredible. The Malaysian Chinese food really is something else, we can't get enough 😍 Thanks so much for watching :)
@@HungryTwoTravel I am in Singapore right now for a work trip and my SG counterpart asked me how come they do it well in Malaysia vs SG. I simply put it: a hawker in Malaysia only does one dish very well until he/she retires or dies. They don't mess around and offer a plethora of food. They just hone and polish their skills until they become sifus in their field. And that same example, I told the them, is how we should run our start-up.
@@vincentchin88 wow Vincent what a good comparison. It's so true, that's how they do it in Malaysia and it shines through in the food just how much of a master these Sifus are. Hope everything went well for your work meeting!
@@HungryTwoTravel if you are back in KL I suggest you do some research on Restaurant Sek Yuen at Pudu. This is the last bastion of Cantonese cuisine from the prewar period. If the last generation of Sek Yuen cooks call it a day then the last of the historical Cantonese cuisine is done. Hope you will have a chance to savor the flavors from before the war.
Wow that sounds incredible. If we head back that way we will definitely look them up. We hope the cuisine continues to live on through generations, it's so important to pass that history and heritage down.
Hi Chris and Steph, your video just popped up on my feed this morning. Enjoyed your video. As a local of Kuala Lumpur, it's always fun to watch it from the perspective of visitors. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your stay in Malaysia and safe travels.
Hi Gary! So glad you enjoyed the video. We had such a fun day going around Chinatown :) the food in KL really is something else. Thanks a lot for watching, we have some more KL videos coming up, so stay tuned☺️
This video gives insight into the food stalls of Petaling Street.👍 Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video with us.🤩
Thank you for watching 😊 the amount of food in the Chinatown in KL is amazing, we enjoyed it all so much
Wow best video sharing friend greetings know me from sarawak malaysia 👍👍
Thanks for watching Udin! Hello and greetings :)
Welcome to Malaysia! 🥰🥰 You ate the best foods in Petaling St. 🤗 My favourite is the Shin Kee beef noodles. Opposite Shin Kee beef noodles shop, there is an old coffee shop called Kedai Kopi Lai Foong (which means Lai Foong Coffee Shop). The beef noodles (Taiwanese style) and lala mihun noodles soup are very good too! Lala is clams.
Yes we heard about that shop as well but didn't get a chance to go unfortunately, maybe next time ;) thanks for your welcome, Malaysia is a wonderful country ☺️
Petaling street is one of my favourite places in KL! personally i hang out there pretty often bc if you didn't already notice it is booming with cafes and hip places too among all the street food and generational businesses, and all the young kids come all dressed up for a day out there. Also, some of the best speakeasy bars are there too!
We noticed it's definitely a great area of the city to hang out. There's so much to offer we wish we could have spent even more time than we did!
*It's been different for me. You have to try different flavors. nice video* 🤗
For sure, it's always nice to try different things that's for sure! Thanks for watching Emre, so nice to see you around☺️
Great video, as usual, guys🎉🎊! So interesting to see the stalls and the history behind them. Food looked so delicious, especially the pancakes! Well done 👏!
Thanks so much for watching :) yes there's actually so much history in the Chinatown in KL, it's very interesting to see all the stalls selling the same great quality food after all these years😊
You both are excellent tourists bringing more business to the hawkers with your excellent recommendations. Heading there next week to give a try. I speaks Cantonese too. So, I can feel the common vibe.
Oh that's awesome, if you've never been you will love it. There is so much good food in Chinatown you can just eat all day 🤣 and it's definitely nice to be able to speak the language as well. Enjoy your time :)
Refreshing clips of KL after 2 years of dreariness (Covid restrictions). Chinatown today is very different from Chinatown 50 years ago or even 100 years ago where there were many brothels and drug and gambling dens . 50 years ago, the main Petaling Street was very busy with cars moving both ways, thronged with local people, packed with food stalls , clothes shops , clothes stalls , Chinese antique collectibles shop, stationery shop , many stalls selling better roast ducks and duck meat and offal rolls, Chinese medicinal shops.. etc. The shops were all occupied by locals, some families living above, making a living downstairs … it was the real old Chinatown. Hot ,dusty, sweaty and noisy. Today Chinatown looks superficial, relatively quiet and forlorn. The ones you ventured out to eat are the last of the previous generations though without much competition. Perhaps the last generation.. sadly. Thanks so much for recommending them .
Thank you so much for your comment. We can imagine Chinatown has changed so much over the years, it's sounds like a completely different place to what is is now! Especially being a walking street, without the hustle of the cars, we're sure it's a much different scene. Hopefully it will continue to thrive and newer generations will keep what the old started so that the history will live on. It's such a historical and beautiful part of the city, we enjoyed the food and the wonderful people so much🥰
Thanks for visiting Petaling street aka Chinatown. When I heard you speak Cantonese with our local sellers, I feel intimate.
Thanks Josho. Petaling street is such a great place, so much history and amazing food, we really enjoyed it!
It was really great video. That soup looks tasty, thanks for sharing, your new friend 😍😍😍
Thanks so much for watching! Everything was so good🤤🤤🤤
We waited 6-7 days for the next video clip
The teh tarik is a really different way of preparing a tea for sure, it's our favourite 🤣 so good!! Thanks so much for watching and for the comments ☺️🧡
@@HungryTwoTravel With great pleasure :) I write with pleasure and I am honest ^^
I used to go there every weekend and take away everything you sampled in this video. You obviously hit all the right spots in your Chinatown culinary adventure !
No way! That's awesome! There's so much amazing food in Chinatown KL🤤😋
I need that 70 cent ice coffee and those noodles. Is it hard to eat warm desserts and soups in the hot weather?
So good!! Surprisingly enough it's not bad, it kind of goes with it if it's the right dish ;)
You should try the other beef noodle at the end of the road called Jalan Alor , it open at night until next day morning 03:00 . The surrounding area so occupied famous local and foreign restaurant too.. 😀
Yes, it is bitter melon. Very healthy. Have it with some sweet sauce and you will be fine. Enjoy… I missed all these good foods
Ooo that would be a good combo, you're right! Yes Chinatown has so much amazing food, you could spend days eating your way around :)
Wow you guys just went in, no hesitation lol. Congee is basically our comfort food
😉 you gotta! It was so tasty, can totally see it as a comfort food
Welcome to Malaysia ! please enjoy yourselves . you guys are great !
Thanks so much! We're loving it 😊
All those food in one day !!! If it is u guys can really eat. Hope u hv enjoyed all the food.
Thank you! We really enjoyed it, the food in Chinatown is just so good. Luckily enough there was two of us to share everything😄🤤
Literally covered most of the main and popular food in KL Chinatown
😊😊😊
Hi there ...since yr already in Malaysia...u shd go to northern Malaysia like Penang..after that can go to hatyai (southern Thailand) ....both this places...the food prices r cheaper..... keep smiling n eating 😁👍
Hey Alan, thanks so much for the recommendations :) appreciate it!
Don't forget to visit these two cities : Kota Kinabalu & Sandakan , Sabah ,East Malaysia as well.
You also can practice your Cantonese at Sandakan since we speak both hakka & cantonese here 💪🏻 .
There are so many beautiful place & Nature to explore .
Thank you for the suggestions!! There's a lot of Malaysia to see that's for sure. Thanks for watching😊
@@HungryTwoTravel 加油 ！ gah yau !
You should try the roasted duck in Hongkong called “ Yat lok “. Rated with Michelin star. After watching you eat I’m missing it.
Thanks for the suggestion!! That sounds amazing 😋🤤
The white pork mushroom dumpling..it isnt soya beans but blackeyed peas. FYI.
'Pure piece of duck meat reaction' was perfect
😂☺️😉 Sooo tasty haha, glad you enjoyed that ;)
FYI, ma chee is made of glutinous rice flour etc, those favour is normally artificial food essence as well as colours.
The chinese CHUNG -glutinous rice dumpling , in it instead of soyabean , indeed it is Mung bean.
You visited my favourous stalls,that i frequently ate there. You both missed out 1 stall , just next to the congee stall, the kun kee wanton mee.
The trail along the chinatown, reminded me so much of my past. I left kl for more thhen 20 years. I miss those street food so so much.
Hope u both hv a pleasant trip in s.e asia.
Thanks so much for watching and for your comment, Wednesday. We hope this food tour brought back some great memories for you. Hopefully you can go back again and visit someday, and taste everything again 😊 All the best to you
@@HungryTwoTravel
by now you both must be back to your own country. stay healthy always👍
@@wednesdaychild2408 Thanks so much and the same to you. We are actually in the Philippines right now, you should check out our most recent videos if you're interested ;) Thanks again for watching and commenting!
欢迎你两人来马来西亚。
Thank you so much! We're loving it 🙂
Many tourists walked pass without knowing the history of traders and food. Thanks.
There's so much history to Chinatown here, it's nice to learn about it :) thanks for watching!
peanut donut lady owed three stalls, sons sokd n away, she has to go mobile stall for years, pitiful story of hard working mama.
The best food in the world. 😍
So good, right!!??
The original Hokkien Mee Called Kim Lian Kee has a big red colour restaurant at the cross junction near Air Mata Kuching stall… in the evening their original little shop will open near the Chee Cheong fun stall…really delicious probably due to the amount of pork lard they add lol
Ooo pork lard, that sounds delish! Interesting to know, thanks for the info John!
I just had the dumpling from the same stall today . Nice
Oh that's awesome! They are so good, aren't they??
@@HungryTwoTravel Yup it’s good. Taste just my grandma once made. Bring back whole lot of memory.
Chris said the same, he used to have them as well and it brought back a lot of fond memories for him too😊
You just hit the right spot for street food. Try Indian n Malay food as well if u haven't done so. Good thing about Malaysia, there's no price difference between foreigners n locals in food price. Amazing food with cheap price!
The food is so amazing, you're right Jef. We've had some delicious Indian and Malaysian food as well, it's all so good 🤤
16:50 ^^ it's called bitter gourd. Also, please do drop by any ramly burger stalls to get beef special burger (A must try when you are in malaysia) & the stalls are only open during evening/night.
Thanks for the suggestion!!!
@@HungryTwoTravelyour most welcome...
The name of the roast duck stall literally mean 4 eyes. She chose not to use the skewer to taste both black sesame/mango mochi covered with crushed peanuts. The cantonese joong zi aka tamales usually consisted of mung bean so they used soy bean instead. I also don't like porridge either when I was a child and the one they had definitely my 1st and favorite congee and I would recommend sampan porridge as well is my other favorite. She cut those Chee Cheong Fun like Ho Fun in strip instead of rice noodle roll. My ideal dish would have included soy sauce + peanut sauce. I like how they prepared the tea terik and served in plastic bag of ice since they made it hot to begin with. Dim Sum restaurant served Yong Tau Foo usually came with braising sauce on top. It's refreshing herbal longan drink and so are the soy milk. Since he had his bean curd jelly with brown sugar so he prefers no sweet in the drink. I like both of their pancakes. Could add some veggies in beef noodle soup. Can Steph speak some cantonese??
Thanks so much for the comment! The soy sauce and peanut is such a good combo, we totally agree! Steph can speak a little bit of Cantonese, but just the very basics ;) thanks for watching!!
Enjoy your exploration of this quirky country
Thank you Peter! We're really enjoying it so far ☺️
@@HungryTwoTravel welcome . Where are you guys from?
Canada :)
I grew up eating these foods, Chris. Haven't eaten them for some years now (other than the fakes they sell here in the UK)... The 'mah-chee' used to be just plain flour - I like the original authentic stuff from years gone by unlike the present add-ons like mango flavour, durian flavour and what not. Enjoy your food in Malaysia - make sure you try the nyonya varieties in Melaka, formerly known as Malacca.
Hey Corina, hopefully this brought back some good memories for you :) we had such a great time exploring Chinatown and tasting all the local and amazing food that's there. We are really enjoying Malaysia!!
I like Mua Chi....nice food
So good! We loved it as well :)
The tau fu fah dessert looks so good. The one we have in Canada where they sell them are lousy. It is mushy in texture.
Oh darn, yeah this one had a really nice texture and taste. After 90 years they know how to make it well!
Hi Chris and Steph. Just stumbled upon your blog. Really good and keep up the good recommendations 😊
By the way, when you say in Cantonese "Kei Hou Sik" means quite good. Usually, local will say "Hou Hou Sik" instead in Cantonese means very good 👍
Great introduction 👍👍
Hi Irrine! So glad you found our channel :) the food in Chinatown was so tasty!! There's so many great places to visit. Thanks for watching 😊
😄😄😁 good..u back home .!!!
😄😄😄
The lady’s were laughing at your Cantonese 😆
🤣 they were loving it
you forgot to try the delicious wonton mee and the fried rice here. my god !
There's so many tasty things to try! We'll have to make sure we do next time ;)
Hello, can you try go visit to sarawak, Malaysia.
Hi there, we will definitely try, thanks for the suggestion :)
🤩🤤😋😋 I'm hungry now😅😆
😄😄🤤🤤🤤
Afiyet olsun.
Çok teşekkürler ☺️
6:45 Hi. Welcome to Malaysia! It's mung beans in the dumpling, not soy beans.
Thanks for pointing that out, we weren't 100% sure so that's good to know :) it was tasty. Thanks so much for watching!
The flat noodles is called CHEE CHEONG FUN.
Yes, exactly!
why do people get surprised by how delicious the food is? stop judging it by looks ie the congee...enjoy your adventure 😀
Thanks Choo! I (Steph) am not a fan of oatmeal and dishes like that, so I was a little skeptical of the congee, but the texture was so much better than oatmeal😄 I loved it!!
The soybean tast very good, I try before
So good isn't it?? We really enjoyed it
@@HungryTwoTravel ya, is so good.
Wow guys subbed below 1k and couple weeks later you guys almost at 20k?! Thats awesome!!
Thanks Yves! Thanks for the sub and for watching, we appreciate it so much :)
wow you guys basically
just tried all the nice food available in petaling street..haha...
It was so good! There's quite a few of amazing street carts to try, we had to hit them all 🤣 thanks for watching!!
hii.. Chris.. salam from indonesia
Hello!!! 👋☺️
After the pandemic the whole world difficulty in doing business , the china town street in KL previously full of local and tourist but now so SAD to business owner 😭
You're right, unfortunately the pandemic has affected everyone. At least now tourism is increasing around the world and things are starting to be back to normal, so hopefully things will pick up more and more for business owners!
Halo this is Petaling street or local called it 茨厂街 and Chinese don't called it Chinatown. The Chinese already there before KL existed. The Malaysian Chinese pioneering developed Malacca (1409) and Sg Ujung(Seremban), then went to develop Klang and KL in British era few hundreds years later.
Is muachi nice...it looks nice....I've tried before when I was a gal but I don't like it...
It's really nice! It's got a very soft yet chewy texture, but was lovely with the crushed peanuts. The black sesame was our favourite :)
欢迎来到马来西亚，如果8月18-20号有在的话，可以去jalan sahabat参观下神庙做神诞
Thanks for the welcome :) we're loving it here
You covered almost all the iconic food in Chinatown Malaysia except for the Hokkien Mee, claypot chicken rice and the bitter Chinese herbal tea. Chris, you need to improve your Cantonese, you can't use 'Ko' as classifier for everything.
There's so much food in Chinatown! We definitely tried to cover as much as we could in one day😉 we managed to try the delicious Hokkien Mee and claypot chicken rice as well, just in another video ;) ;) thanks for watching!
@@HungryTwoTravel
I missed that video. Do try the clam noodle in Chinatown at 'Lai Foong restaurant' . Clam is called 'La la' in Malaysia
@@cyber1991 no worries :) we tried them in our first video in Malaysia. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Isn't Malaysia the best food in southeast Asia ?!?!
And the friendliest most hospitable helpful population for tourists
Malaysia truly has some amazing and delicious food, it's an amazing country. The people have been so friendly to us as well! We love it☺️
how much the chang cost in penang,in selangot it cost 7rm for one,price of food gone up
We're unsure of the price in penang, sorry! In KL it cost 8rm 🙂
👍👍
😇.. .
yong tau foo has to have some sauce served with it.
We'll have to try that next time :)
Next time? When r u going to visit there again? Canada to M'sia is about a day's travel by air..23hrs! Pls go now if ur still there!!!
Since you are chinese canadian, that will bring back memories. In hk, they just use soy sauce.
It sure did 😂
👍👍👍😀😀😀
☺️☺️☺️
good video but the main problem is one video not enough can more
😄😄🧡
@@HungryTwoTravel you are pros
Suggestions food court venture also good to do video
Yes that's a good idea, there's so many!!
@@HungryTwoTravel check this ICC Pudu
The century egg porridge has chicken meat, not pork.
This one has pork actually 😉
@@HungryTwoTravel in that case it is prepared differently from how it is done in Penang. I have only taken century eggs n chicken meat 'chok' in Penang at all places.
Yes, must be different in Kuala Lumpur ☺️
@@HungryTwoTravel Hope you had a good time eating in Malaysia. Wish you n Steph great travels n great eats!
Thanks Soul Man!! Wishing you great eats as well😄

Can Chris speak an Asian language?
Yes, Cantonese 🙃
He's speaking basic Cantonese in the video albeit broken Cantonese.😅
