No visit to KL is complete without experiencing the nightly food extravaganza of Jalan Alor. It's busy, crowded and full-on in-your-face Asia, but the food from any of the restaurants and hawkers is the essence of Malaysia. Grab a table and order from the colourful printed menus that will be thrust before you and you will have a wonderful experience... More

As a local KL resident, Jalan Alor used to be popular with local street food with very affordable prices. However, since the 1990s when this place started to get popular with foreign tourists, the prices hiked and quality of food became very poor. For tourists from western countries, many would think it is a unique place to find local street... More

We stayed close by Jalan Alor at the Swiss Garden Hotel, and it took us a few days to even find out Jalan Alor existed - I wish we'd found it sooner! As the sun sets, most of the car traffic is diverted from Jalan Alor and the strret food vendors roll in, the lights go on and the people... More

Unfortunately, over the last 10 years, this place has been on a serious decline, catering to bus loads of mainland China tourists. Subsequently, quality and value has severely dropped, but still a lively place for out of towners to visit and get a variety of meals. Chicken Fish and Sting Ray are some of the more popular dishes here, and... More

Great variety of food choices, from Chinese to Indian to Malay. Prices are reasonable. But extremely dirty environment, as are other food courts in Malaysia. Pathetic More

Nothing wrong with this street. If you can't eat on the street, don't travel to the Asia/Far East. Excellent roast duck and crispy pork. Tender squid. Quick service, lively bustling atmosphere. Not to be missed. More

After seeing so many good reviews, we tried this place just to see what it is like. The food was tasty. It was quite crowded and I really doubt the level of hygiene. We ordered a large plate of squid, a large plate of Kangung leave, two cups of rice and water for MR 57. Night before we had dinner... More

The street food Jalan Alor offers a lot of variety and nice food. The only thing is eating by the road side could be a little dirty. The environment is stuffy, smoky and a rather dirty. But this is the place where you could really try authentic street food with a lot of variety here. More

Some of the best food we've had whilst travelling through Asia. As long as you are happy to sit on a plastic chair at a plastic table, and accept that you are on the edge of a busy street, then do it and enjoy it! More
