During Malaysia’s colonial era, Indian immigrants were brought in to work on the train depot in Kuala Lumpur, and many made Brickfields their home. Brickfields is now known as Kuala Lumpur’s Little India due to the high population of Indian residents and businesses in the area.
We at TSL believe that locals are the best guides, as they know the top places to visit and eat in their own country. Fortunately for us, we were brought around Brickfields by Charles and Gabby from Food Tour Malaysia.
Through this food trail, we were able to discover places we would have never tried on our own, as many of the best food places in Malaysia come from street stalls you’d often miss when travelling without a guide.
We also visited two iconic places at the end of the trail!
Address: 248 Lorong Chan Ah Tong, 50470 Kuala Lumpur
Address: In front of 7-Eleven, Jalan Padang Belia, 50480 Brickfields Kuala Lumpur
All the stops we made with Food Tour Malaysia are within walking distance from KL Sentral monorail station, opposite Nusentral Mall.
Address: 40 Jalan Dewan Sultan Sulaiman, Kampung Baru, 50300 Kuala Lumpur
This place is within walking distance from Medan Tuanku monorail station.
Thanks to mobile data roaming and a quick Google search we finally decided on Wong Ah Wah (aka WAW), located right at the very end of the food street. We knew we had made a good choice because the place was packed despite not having any touters accosting you to dine at their restaurant.
Address: Wong Ah Wah, 1, Jalan Alor, Off Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur 50200
The restaurant is within walking distance from Bukit Bintang monorail station.
Kuala Lumpur is a literal melting pot of cultures and I thoroughly enjoyed trying out the Malaysian variations of food that we also get in Singapore. Aside from food, it’s also a great place for shopping and I managed to get a few items from brands like H&M and Forever 21 for slightly cheaper than what I would have paid in Singapore.
This trip was made possible thanks to Tune Hotels and AirAsia. If you’re looking for an affordable no-frills accommodation option in Kuala Lumpur, be sure to check out our review of Tune Hotels as well.
