KL Good food

We got three food joints to recommend for KL Kuala Lumpur (吉隆坡). There must be more, but we only got a short 3D2N itinerary. We blog about Jalan Alor earlier 🙂

Happy hours. Siblings, colleagues and friends, everyone can enjoy a cuppa and relaxing afternoon 🙂

Lunch at Lot 10 十号胡同 (No 10), next to Bukit Bintang monorail station.
Lot 10 Shi hao

Too many choices under one roof. Not any food but supposedly the best food in Malaysia consolidated 🙂
Lot 10 food court

Ideal for families who have fussy eaters :p
Go ahead, the food quality here is above average, love the variety, and reasonable price.

If you like Japanese, they got some good ones from the opposite supermart.

Still undecided at 十号? Look out for the queues and listen to the “wok” 🙂

Exploring KL requires a lot walking, we recommend tea time at Tous Les Jours.
Nevermind this cafe is French or Korea, it is a hip place place to be seen. We ordered some pastries, cheese cakes and chocolate cake.

Under Wolo hotel, these F&B cafe outlet has two floors.

From the second floor, you can enjoy your cappuccino while watching KL city in motion.

The surprise dough for Daddy and Mummy was the humble but delightful Almond croissant!
Almond bread tous les jours

Value for money considering the variety of pastries.

When we talk about Char Siew and Roast pork (叉燒,燒肉), Restoran Oversea (海外天) always comes up.
This restaurant is famous in KL for wedding banquets.

Deep fried grouper is good.
food2

But the Roast Pork and Char Siew are the signature dish, it is ordered on every table. No wonder you need to call in and reserve beforehand!

Looking at the caramelised skin makes one drool! The sweet roast pork skin will melt in your mouth 🙂

Restoran Oversea is a short 10 minutes walk from monorail Bukit Bintang, walk past Parkroyal hotel. (GPS N03.14468, E101.71374). Prices are on the mid to high range.

Bukit Bintang area is famous for shopping and food. This is not the end of our KL trip, we need to go back again to find more KL good food!

Jalan Alor Food

Mention Jalan Alor food and Chicken Wings come to mind.
Jalan Alor Chicken Wing

If you are visiting KL (Kuala Lumpur) for the first time, Jalan Alor might be a good bet to start your dinner. It is about 8 min walk from Bukit Bintang Monorail station.

Map. Bukit Bintang station is smack in the heart of happening food and shopping zone.

Boon Yee’s own restaurant, we are curious about the huge jar’s content 🙂
jalan Alor6

Sugarcane, coconut, KL is hot, replenish your water. We packet some fried chicken home for supper.
jalan Alor5

Jalan Alor is really packed every evening. Spotted a lot of tourists. We recommend families to reach around 5.30pm to have an early dinner. It will be more difficult to find a seating place after 6.30pm.
jalan Alor4

Busy street with lanterns above, and handicapped folks singing a tune or two.
jalan Alor7

Restoran Wong Ah Wah or WAW (with Mickey mouse lookalike emblem) is at the end of the street. WAW consists of 5 stalls!

And it all started with Wong Ah Wah (maybe KL’s most famous) chicken wings. According to a Taiwan TV variety, 5000 wings are sold every night!
Jalan Alor Food

Surprisingly, our kids prefer the non-spicy stingray more than the chicken wings.
jalan Alor2

Roasted Pork noodle. It got too sinful after the 5th mouth :p
jalan Alor

Try it for the novelty, but you must not count the lard calories.

Calamari is recommended.

At WAW, you can sit at any of the 5 stalls, we believe the menus are offering the same food. Our total damage came up to RM140.

Price is considered cheap compared to Singapore, but Jalan Alor is meant for tourists and the price here is slightly higher. What it offers is a one stop convenience to savour all the good food. Yummy experience!
Streetfood KL

Before we head back, we thought we should try some durians. Bad choice, we chose a watery durian which sucks. Should have spent more to buy Mao Shan Wang, but there are better place to try durians.
jalan Alor3

We bid Jalan Alor good night, but crowds are still streaming in.

Additional tips :
– GPS N03.14468, E101.71374
– Opening hours of Jalan Alor food street seems to be 24 hours (cannot confirm)
– Due to the crowd, we felt relatively safe walking along Jalan Alor
– Hold on to the little ones, as cars can still drive slowly along the street
– More food photos can be found on our KL Day 2 photo album
