Jalan Alor is the food mecca of Kuala Lumpur that is lined with seafood restaurants and hawker stalls. It is the favorite spot of food lovers, cultural enthusiasts and shutterbugs. This is also touted as one of the busiest food streets in the entire world where you can sample out a vast range of delicacies at the best price.
The history of the street is interesting in its own ways. What was once declared as a red-light area has now transformed into the most sought-after culinary destination for those who want to experience indigenous food at a cheap cost. The traditional verve that this place offers stands in direct contrast to the well-maintained and modernized tourist spots of Kuala Lumpur.
The street hawkers spread on both sides of the 500m expanse of this street, bringing a unique charm to the evenings. It also houses massage parlors and bars that further lure the visitors to come to this place.
All those who visit this place are in for a surreal euphoric experience, with the raucous vendors and the chatty and cheerful crowd. The shouts of the street vendors, flavors bustling from each corner and the action of the grills offer this place a unique vibe which you won’t get in any other part of Malaysia.
