Why Jalan Alor is special ?
What to explore at Jalan Alor?
The food is the main draw but the atmosphere is also truly memorable. The place stays loud and vibrant throughout the night with vendors furiously fanning grills of chicken and beef skewers, the metallic clang of frying woks and the air is thick with charcoal smoke.
At the food stalls food is cooked in a furious fashion (with delicious smells coming from the frying woks and boiling pots) and served on plastic plates in a rainbow of colours. Most hawker stalls have picture menus, making ordering simple.
You can grab a table somewhere in front of Restoran Dragon View at the top of the street and then walk along and order your dishes from the diverse range of hawkers.
Try the fried oyster egg from Restoran Wong Ah Wah: a thin and crispy omelette with plump and briny oysters that is served with fresh coriander leaves and accompanied by a chilli sauce that gives it a tangy, spicy kick. Or even the smoky-flavoured satay (marinated chicken tenderloin) from Terminal Sate Zul and grilled chicken wings in a simple soy marinade with chicken rice and roasted barbecue pork from Restoran Meng Kee Grill Fish.

Reviews
Jalan Alor, situated nearby the shopping haven of Bukit Bintang is a gastronomic paradise. Get your fix of the best street Chinese food with endless varieties of everything.
Tourists rarely venture here; the foreign faces you see are certainly expats, each seeming to give you a knowing nod. You’ve reached the ‘real’ Asia.
This is the street lined up with a variety of SE Asian, Chinese & Indian street food !So if you are a foodie, and dont want to spend a lot, this is the place to be at !!
We have travelled far & wide & never eaten street food but decided to try this in kula lumper. All I can say is it was an excellent experience & very cheap. We did this twice while on holiday in July this year.
Lots of cheap food along one street, with outdoor seating. Have eaten there several times and only once got a dodgy stomach - think it may have been all the alcohol drunk prior. Go to the places with lots of people. Good ambience.
