HUGE Chinatown Street Food Tour in Malaysia + BEST CHINESE STREET FOOD IN KUALA LUMPUR

Huge Chinatown street food tour in Malaysia. Today we went to taste the best Chinese street food in Kuala Lumpur at the famous Chinatown on Petaling Street, for a huge Chinatown street food tour in Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur is full of amazing Malaysian street food; you can find some of the most popular street food in the country here. With a large Chinese population, it’s next to impossible to run out of fantastic street foods to eat full of amazing local flavours. Located on Petaling Street in the centre of the city, Chinatown is where you can find some of the best Chinese street food in Kuala Lumpur.

We started our huge Chinatown street food tour early, since many stalls open first thing in the morning and close once they sell out! You don’t want to miss these popular Chinese street food stalls, so start early. The Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur might not be huge, but the history is incredible, with most stalls selling the same high quality street foods for over 50 years.

Some must eat Chinatown street foods that we made sure we tasted were roast duck, muah chee, congee, chee cheong fun, tau foo fah, and air mata kucing, just to name a few. It really takes a whole day to taste all the amazing flavours of Chinatown and experience the close-knit community within it.

The street food in Malaysia is so varied, with the best flavours, tastes and cooking styles around, no Malaysian street food tour of Kuala Lumpur is complete without visiting this amazing Chinatown and sampling your way through the best Chinese street food in Kuala Lumpur.

We hope you enjoy our huge Chinatown street food tour in Malaysia, tasting the best Chinese street food in Kuala Lumpur. Stay tuned for more food adventures full of huge street food tours in Malaysia.

Hey everyone!
What's the most interesting Chinatown you've ever been to? Let us know below and thanks for watching! ☺️🧡

This is so nostalgic…. As a young kid, Petaling Street used to be the hangout place for a lot of us after school.The years have passed… but the eateries are still there .I still think that Malaysian Chinese food is the best in comparison to other countries😊

[AbroadandHungry]

Another exciting video guys!! Your video brought us back some good old memories. All the food was just incredible. The last bowl of beef noodles was insane. Thanks a lot for sharing your food adventures with us. Keep up the great work guys ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Chris and Steph, your video just popped up on my feed this morning. Enjoyed your video. As a local of Kuala Lumpur, it's always fun to watch it from the perspective of visitors. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your stay in Malaysia and safe travels.

Petaling street is one of my favourite places in KL! personally i hang out there pretty often bc if you didn't already notice it is booming with cafes and hip places too among all the street food and generational businesses, and all the young kids come all dressed up for a day out there. Also, some of the best speakeasy bars are there too!

Refreshing clips of KL after 2 years of dreariness (Covid restrictions). Chinatown today is very different from Chinatown 50 years ago or even 100 years ago where there were many brothels and drug and gambling dens . 50 years ago, the main Petaling Street was very busy with cars moving both ways, thronged with local people, packed with food stalls, clothes shops, clothes stalls, Chinese antique collectibles shop, stationery shop, many stalls selling better roast ducks and duck meat and offal rolls, Chinese medicinal shops.. etc. The shops were all occupied by locals, some families living above, making a living downstairs … it was the real old Chinatown. Hot, dusty, sweaty and noisy. Today Chinatown looks superficial, relatively quiet and forlorn. The ones you ventured out to eat are the last of the previous generations though without much competition. Perhaps the last generation.. sadly. Thanks so much for recommending them .

This video gives insight into the food stalls of Petaling Street.👍 Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video with us.🤩

Welcome to Malaysia! 🥰🥰 You ate the best foods in Petaling St. 🤗 My favourite is the Shin Kee beef noodles. Opposite Shin Kee beef noodles shop, there is an old coffee shop called Kedai Kopi Lai Foong (which means Lai Foong Coffee Shop). The beef noodles (Taiwanese style) and lala mihun noodles soup are very good too! Lala is clams.

Great video, as usual, guys🎉🎊! So interesting to see the stalls and the history behind them. Food looked so delicious, especially the pancakes! Well done 👏!

[kenwong]

Yes, it is bitter melon. Very healthy. Have it with some sweet sauce and you will be fine. Enjoy… I missed all these good foods

[changi]

You both are excellent tourists bringing more business to the hawkers with your excellent recommendations. Heading there next week to give a try. I speaks Cantonese too. So, I can feel the common vibe.

[josho]

Thanks for visiting Petaling street aka Chinatown. When I heard you speak Cantonese with our local sellers, I feel intimate.

We waited 6-7 days for the next video clip <3, but it was worth it !!! Hello Chris :) I really like what you do, the food there looks super good, but the 14:54 tea looks interesting I've never seen anything like it. There are some dishes that you don't see in restaurants :) I'm glad I watched your video !!! Big like <3 !!!

[kvsim]

Don't forget to visit these two cities : Kota Kinabalu & Sandakan, Sabah , East Malaysia as well.
You also can practice your Cantonese at Sandakan since we speak both hakka & cantonese here 💪🏻 .
There are so many beautiful place & Nature to explore .

*It's been different for me. You have to try different flavors. nice video* 🤗

[elimlinrr]

I used to go there every weekend and take away everything you sampled in this video. You obviously hit all the right spots in your Chinatown culinary adventure !

[Hing.Dickson]

You should try the other beef noodle at the end of the road called Jalan Alor, it open at night until next day morning 03:00 . The surrounding area so occupied famous local and foreign restaurant too.. 😀

[UdinVlog]

Wow best video sharing friend greetings know me from sarawak malaysia 👍👍

[kitchenimposter]

I need that 70 cent ice coffee and those noodles. Is it hard to eat warm desserts and soups in the hot weather?

[wednesdaychild]

FYI, ma chee is made of glutinous rice flour etc, those favour is normally artificial food essence as well as colours.
The chinese CHUNG -glutinous rice dumpling, in it instead of soyabean, indeed it is Mung bean.

You visited my favourous stalls, that i frequently ate there. You both missed out 1 stall, just next to the congee stall, the kun kee wanton mee.
The trail along the chinatown, reminded me so much of my past. I left kl for more thhen 20 years. I miss those street food so so much.
Hope u both hv a pleasant trip in s.e asia.
