Jalan Alor - Formerly known as the Red light district of KL. The area has since undergone a number of facelifts, and the hosts now cater more to delight the gastronomical passions of its patrons. The stalls are parked all along the street. It is quite an overwhelming experience for the first timers, who may have some difficulty on deciding where to eat.
Wong Ah Wah Chicken Wings: last shop on the left in the street: DO NOT EAT AT OTHER STALLS (Also got Hokkien fried noodles: MUST eat)How to get there - Across the road from Bukit Bintang Plaza. Turn in at corner of KFC. Opening hours : from about 6.00pm to wee hours of the morning.
Petaling Street - Here is where you will find some truly fantastic Chinese food. Tourists, start with the menu. The pictures on the menu will give you a good indication of what your meal will look like. Other than the invitation to tropical al-fresco dining, your hosts may also impress you with their good selection of beer. The Hokkien Noodles 福建炒(KIM LIAN KEE) at the corner of Hong Leong Bank is quite popular judging from the long queues of people waiting to place their order. Don't be disheartened. It is really worth the wait.
Mei Keng Fatt Seafood RestaurantEveryone's favorite! Well, almost everyone's except those extremely allergic to it. Not cheap but the food is good. Try the pepper crabs or the sweet and sour crabs, and the steamed prawns. Fresh!Fresh!Fresh!! Expatriate haunt…

Location:No.1, Lorong Awan 6,Kuala Ampang.(In Ulu Klang area)
BAK KUT THE 排骨茶Sun Hong Muk Koot Tea (Bak Kut Teh) - Medan Imbi (open day and night) NEAR WESTIN
Sin Seng Nam Coffee ShopNoted for its hainanese chicken rice and Chicken Chop. This place has been serving up hainanese dishes for dozens of years and still going strong. If you're in town, try this place. Closed evenings.
Located: just to the side of Bangkok Bank close to the central market in town
The Cantonese Fried Noodles behind the lanes - called Tai Shi Tow 生霞麵This is the best kept secret in KL…the Cantonese Fried Noodles and Hainanese Chicken rice stall. Location: On Jalan Silang but closer to the Jalan Tun H.S. Lee junction. If turning into Jalan Silang from Jln Tun H.S.Lee, the alleyway will be on your right. The first lane after the turning. Go thru this alleyway which is also cluttered with stalls selling chinese food, carry on until you get to the end of the alleyway and it's smack there.
The lane is directly across the street from Restoran Choon Tian and right beside Hon Ming Textile.Soo Kee Mee StallAnother place that sells Cantonese Fried Noodles, Paper wrapped chicken, and seafood dishes. A favourite is the fried sliced beef and ginger kway teow dish ( Ngau yoke hor) Gets really crowded during lunch and dinner hours so either go before or after the rush hours. The Japanese and Korean expats simply love this place. Opens till early morning hours every day. Closed Mondays.
Location: Jalan Khoo Teik Ee, just off Jalan Imbi.
Restoran Orchard View Yong Tow FooGood yong tow foo place, Orchard View is now located in a corner shoplot just outside of the congested Ampang viilage area. Try the cheong fun, it's good. However, this place has gone porkfree so the flavour is slightly compromised now..
Location: It's moved location to shoplots near the Spectrum Complex/Supermarket in the Ampang village area.
Weng Heng Coffee ShopServes the best pork ball noodles in town. And not to mention one of the best places to go for a piping hot plate of Penang Char Kway Teow. If that's not enough, the popiah is superb too! However you'll have to order this dish from the old man who runs his little stall just outside of the shop (He sets up his stall at around 1pm). It gets really crowded during lunch hour so go early.
Located: On Jalan Imbi, opposite the Honda Showroom and round the corner from Sakura Restaurant
