Jalan Alor
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The read// why locals go
Jalan Alor is Kuala Lumpur's eating street — a single Bukit Bintang block of open-air kitchens turning out Malaysian-Chinese food. It is less a restaurant than a system: plastic tables spilling into the road, dozens of operators cooking side by side, and a menu that adds up across stalls rather than within one. Char kway teow, satay and live seafood are the staples, with vegetarian dishes available at most stalls. Eating here costs around RM25, in the middle of the Golden Triangle. The volume and the competition are what keep standards up — everyone is cooking in full view of everyone else.
