The best place to eat Malaysian Food

Kuala Lumpur is paradise for anyone who’s fond of food- whether it’s Malay, Chinese and Indian. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants where you can get very good fare, but easily the most delectable is the food sold by the vendors along the roadsides.

Chinatown and the backwaters of Jalan Alor is the haunt of hawkers selling Chinese food, while South Indian food is found on Chetty Street . At the northern end of Chow Kit, the city’s largest market where you can pick up the freshest of fruits, vegetables and meats, you can grab a bite at any one of the food stalls selling the famous satays, roti canai (puffed bread with curry) or nasi goreng (fried rice Malay style).

For more upscale dining spots, check out the restaurants around Jalan Ampang, Jalan Kia Peng or Jalan Sultan Ismail. (PS: Jalan means road) . Check out the Seri Angkasa Revolving Restaurant on the top floor of the majestic Petronas Towers. Indulge in some great tapas at the Moussandra Mediterranean & Tapas Restaurant . For a taste of Malaysian food, check out the Enak KL Restaurant at Jalan Bukit Bintang.

There are good pubs and bars for the thirsty around the suburb of Bangsar, a 20- minute drive from Chinatown. But undoubtedly the best way to savour the true essence of Kuala Lumpur is to sip a cup of tea as you bite into a freshly cooked roti and look upon the hustle and bustle of Masjid India – the city’s Indian quarter. Have a wonderful Indian meal at Passage Thru India on Jalan Delima.

Nowhere in Asia can compare with Malaysia when it comes to street food, and although the capital, Kuala Lumpur, is a foodie paradise, ask Malaysians themselves where is the best place to eat, and the unanimous answer will be the tropical island of Penang, and in particular, George Town, a seething, authentic Chinatown. The stalls here are a gourmet kaleidoscope reflecting Malaysia's colourful ethnic mix – as well as offering delicious Malay and Indian cuisine, Penang is unparalleled for the diversity and quality of its regional cooking. You eat well and cheaply everywhere in Penang.
