A lively street with lots of food and fruits. Must come here to try local dishes and great variety of exotic fruits. Prices a bit higher than average since tourists normally dine here. On a humid night, it can be uncomfortably hot so better seat near the roadside.

If you're in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia...you MUST visit this cool spot. The food stands at this corner are all extremely good!!! Man, I feel that everyone will love the food as much I did...what an awesome experience I had at this corner. Loved it!!! :)

I am placing this review under this particular corner listing but it really represents an entire food area in the heart of the action in KL. This is my first time in Malaysia and the food scene is impressive. At the corner of Jalan Alor and Changkat Bukit Bintang starts the long Eat Street that extends all the way down Jalan Alor. For any seriously adventurous foodies, come here for a foodgasm. There is a shop at the corner open 24 hours for those of you jet-lagged like me that need something to do at 3 am and the rest of the street is pretty much shutting down by 4 am but this entire area really doesn't get going until after dark and into the wee hours of the morning. There are food shops lining the street and in front of many of them are street vendor carts. The whole place smells like Durian which can be either good or off-putting depending on if you like that smell and all of the areas to sit and eat are outdoors so there is no escaping it. Also, the heat can be oppressive but once the sun goes down, the temperature gets noticeably cooler. Walking up and down Jalan Alor I saw places that sell Indian food, Malaysian food, Thai food, Chinese food, North Vietnamese food, South Vietnamese food, Hong Kong Dim Sum, Fruit carts, Smoothie carts, Coconut carts, Ice Cream carts, Vegetarian spots, Halal spots, and on and on it goes. You get the picture. The people watching was pretty incredible in the early evening too and it is so packed that you better like pressing flesh in a hot, sticky environment with strangers. I was so overwhelmed by the choices, the foreign languages, the signs I could not read, and the vendors yelling hawker talk to me that I could not decide what to eat and frankly didn't recognize half of the stuff they had. I finally just sat at an empty table and one of the vendors looked at me when I sat down and grunted what I believe was a greeting in my general direction. She looked at me expecting me to order or do something and I had no idea what I was doing or what she even had on offer so I did the next best thing to faking a seizure in an emergency awkward situation...I put on my lost tourist face and said, "Please just feed me" which she did by wok frying up a plate of fresh noodle with shrimp, chicken and crunchy fatty pork bits with a sauce made from dark soy. For $10 Ringgits (about $2.35 USD), it was the right call. Savory and deeply smoky from the wok, it totally satisfied. I'm planning to go back to the area again tonight, sit somewhere else, and try the lost tourist approach again to see what I get. Kind of like rolling the dice in Vegas with your food options. This entire area is amazing if you like local culture, local food, and aren't afraid to feel out of your element. This is a special place, along the lines of a Singaporean hawker center or an open air wet market in Vietnam. If you are in the area, don't miss it.

Very good place, it s local, basic (including the service) but nice people and delicious food. You really need to try it even if the place is not that fancy.
