One of the best places to get Malaysian street food in Kuala Lumpur is in Chinatown. Known for it's incredible blend of Malay and Chinese cuisine, this is foodie heaven in Kuala Lumpur, and we wanted to do it justice! To have the best experience possible, we did our food tour with A Chef's Tour. If you want to do this same tour, just click this link: achefstour.com/tour/kuala-lumpur-food-tour-chinatown/?trackingCode=d56d6fff31de4403b36c95bb862d06dd
If you've watched some of our other food tour video in India or Singapore, you already know how much we love doing food tours with A Chef's Tour. This time, in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown, our guide Kiran took us down the backstreets of Petaling as she showed us shop after shop filled with the most amazing smells you can imagine. Even in these small streets and alleys you will find many Michelin rated dishes that have been handed down through many generations. We got to try the famous asam laksa, lala noodles, cendol, peanut muah chee, char siu bao, and so much more!
This Malaysian street food tour was an incredible way to explore more of Kuala Lumpur and learn about Malaysia's rich and colourful history. The Chinese influence in Malaysia is very strong as many Chinese immigrants arrived in Malaysia in the 19th and 20th centuries. Going on a street food tour in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown is a great way to experience the ethnic diversity in Malaysia. The food is incredible, and its such an exciting way to better understand the country of Malaysia.
In case you missed it, we have ANOTHER Malaysia food tour video up on our channel (yes, we love food THAT much), and we also have a first impressions of Kuala Lumpur video! To see the full Malaysia playlist, click here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSSlYnwzYFH6s4RT-IkUS7Nk4XDbtCRK3

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on YouTube, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
