Kuala Lumpur food tour

KUALA LUMPUR FOOD TOUR - Very little of old Kuala Lumpur is left. Chow Kit and Kampung Baru represent some of the last neighbourhoods yet to be developed into glassy skyscrapers.

Our evening Sambal Streets tour weaves through this tight-knit community known for traditional wooden housing and sizzling street eats, influenced by a kaleidoscope of Malay, Indian and Arab flavours.

Follow in the footsteps of the late roaming chef Anthony Bourdain who ate his way through this district’s night market, and let our food hosts show you the culinary ropes.

We’d rather not spoil the surprise, but a sneak peek of our 15+ tastings include some firm favourites: simmering bowls of beehun soup, hand-stretched rotis with a trio of curries, nasi lemak with piquant sambal, charcoal-grilled mackerel smothered in aromatic spices, palm-leaf wrapped otak-otak , and mamak -style stir-fried noodles - washed down with frothy teh tarik .

The tour concludes across the illuminated Saloma Bridge at one of the city’s best ground view points of the mighty Petronas Towers. Whilst it's possible to attempt such a culinary marathon alone, you’d be hard pushed to find these spots without joining our nightly moveable food feast. No wonder we run KL’s no.1 food tours on Tripadvisor.

Why this tour is awesome

If you’re looking for a Kuala Lumpur food tour that truly gets to the heart of the city’s cuisine, there’s no better experience than our evening food feast.

Be one of the few foreigners to delve into the delights of Kampung Baru before their charms are swallowed up in the ever evolving modernisation of the city’s skyline.

Kuala Lumpur Food Tours: Exactly What It’s Like On The Best Food Tour In KL

Considering taking one of the food tours in KL? Great choice! Malaysia is renowned for its fabulous food and Kuala Lumpur food tours are a fantastic way to discover it.

You won’t just get to taste delicious food, but the best way to learn about the history and culture of Malaysia is through its food. If you haven’t done a Kuala Lumpur food tour before, this can sound strange. However, the food of Malaysia has been brought about by the history of the cultures in the area. And this is just as obvious in the food of Malaysia as in its people.

When you have a knowledgeable Kuala Lumpur food tour guide, there’s no better way to learn so much about KL than during a fun stroll around a great area of KL while tasting amazing food and drinks.

I know because I love taking Malaysian food tours. On my most recent visit to Kuala Lumpur, I took a fabulous Kuala Lumpur street food tour and I learned so much even though I have been to this city 10+ times before. It’s the best experience I have had here.

I figure the best way to show you how great a KL food tour can be is to share what one is like with you. I do this by detailing exactly what I ate and did on my food tour Kuala Lumpur experience.

Below, I share everything in this Kuala Lumpur food tour review so you can decide for yourself if you want to do a food tour in KL.

Best Food Tour In Kuala Lumpur Review

On my most recent trip, I did the Kuala Lumpur Street Food tour. All my experiences here are based on this experience. I went on this tour with my husband and three kids aged 6, 11 and 12 at the time of the experience.

Disclaimer: We tried a lot of food on this tour. Like, a huge amount!

So there is a big chance that I’ll forget some of these in this Kuala Lumpur food tour review! But I’m sure it will still give you a great indication of what’s available and the experiences you can have.

My tour started at Pasar Seni LRT station. This is easy to find and get to and we were soon meeting our guide, Pauline. It was just our family on the tour so this was a big bonus.

We chatted and introduced ourselves and talked a little about the tour. Very quickly, we found ourselves at the first food stop. Yay!

We started at an Indian mamak local restaurant trying many types of bread and sauces as well as “indian donuts” and other foods.

It was quite a start with so much delicious-ness. Our family loves Indian food, but our kids hadn’t tried dosai or some of the breads before. We all found this fun. Even better is that our kids were being great at trying just about everything.

We also had drinks. My husband had the Malaysian national drink, teh tarik. Since I just had this on the Penang food tour , I tried a ginger tea (so good!). My kids chose iced milo.

Our guide showed right from the start that she was good at tailoring the food to the situation too with one of the rotis having chocolate and the kids receiving some Indian sweets when we were leaving for being so good with trying everything.

Actually, when we were leaving, an older woman in the restaurant also gave my 6 year old some sweets. I love Malaysians!

We headed towards the heart of Chinatown with plenty of stops on the way and plenty of information and time for questions.

The next stop was at a traditional Chinese tea stall where we tried three different types. Our guide was certainly not kidding when she said the bitterest one was really bitter!! 😀

On the way to the tea stop, we actually went into a KK Mart (like a 7-Eleven) and our guide showed us what the locals like to eat and drink day-to-day and about some of the different products, how there’s a push for less sugar in products and more. It was quite interesting.

She also bought us the Malaysian version of the Indonesian instant noodles we usually eat at home so we could try them later and taste the difference!

We walked on to where the last handmade char siew pao (steam buns) are being made in Kuala Lumpur. We were able to watch them being made, learn more about them and ask questions to the vendors.

Of course, we could also taste them. We could pick what we wanted, and they were made and steamed for us. We collected them at the end of the tour. So good!

Our next stop was an old bakery in modern, air-conditioned surrounds so that was nice. Many of the traditional vendors on this tour are in hot alley ways, so the occasional dose of air-conditioning is nice.

There were so many delights here – some for everyday consumption and some for special occasions. We tried a range of good including a special wedding biscuit. The pink one above. It was the best!

We then started walking through some more alleys in Chinatown coming across many traditional and delicious food vendors. It was very cool to watch everything being made and to meet the vendors. It made it more interesting for the kids as well.

We had a handmade curry puff after meeting the last lady still making them by hand which was particularly good. Our guide talked a lot about the different people left making these types of traditional dishes, and how it was dying out which is sad.

We also had some sweet potato balls.

Next up was our favourite dish from yet another vendor – coconut pancakes and peanut pancakes. The coconut pancakes were particularly good and my kids keep a look out now everywhere we go hoping to see them!

As we walked around Chinatown trying all this food, I did wonder how I had missed all of this before as I have been to Chinatown in KL a few times over the years. It’s just so invaluable to have a guide that could take us to exactly the right place for the right food from the right people.

In addition to the food that I am mentioning, we also went past far more and our guide would explain what things were and when they might be eaten.

We also had some fresh juices here and tried different ones we hadn’t had before. Because none of us had had guava fruit before, our guide also bought us cut up guava with dried sour plum powder on it – like locals would eat. It was great.

Of course, you can’t go on a food tour without learning about the infamous durian so we saw this next and learned more about it and all the different types.

We then visited a Chinese medicine clinic and store. It was interesting to me all the specialists they had working there. We learned more about this and our guide shared her own experiences with Chinese medicine.

We saw birds’ saliva worth thousands of ringgits that is used by the Chinese community. As I had just been to Sabah where this is collected, I found that particularly interesting. I definitely won’t be saving up for that 😀

After a walk through a wet market, we ended up at some great local Chinese street vendors where we had a fabulous laksa and “rat tail” noodles.

The noodles were some of the best I’ve ever had with minced pork and a yummy sauce. We were all getting pretty full at this point so it was hard to keep eating with my oldest and youngest kids throwing in the towel. My middle child wasn’t going to give up though, and he ate most the noodles!

We also tried some other dishes such as fish balls and fried tofu.

Nearly as good as eating the food was watching it being made. They were really pumping out the laksas (see the first photo above). There were newspaper clippings on displaying showing the praise they had received. It is very cool to sit basically in a car park on plastic tables and chairs eating such great food.

We then got our pau and headed to the final stop at a hotel with great views where we could go through everything we ate and did on the tour and see the path we took, check out the brand new Merdeka 118 and basically enjoy the afterglow of such a great morning.

Final Words

This Kuala Lumpur street food tour was fantastic.

From right at the beginning, when we sat down to a fabulous Indian breakfast to the noodles at the end, we tried a crazy amount of amazing food.

I loved how many street vendors we got to talk to and watch make their food. It definitely adds to the enjoyment of the food when you can see it up so close in such an intimate way.

It can feel a little stressful doing a tour with three kids but this worked well and our guide was great at catering things to us. She told me that she’d usually give more information but wanted to make sure the kids were ok, and what she did was perfect.

Exactly what you get to taste seems tailored to the people on the tour, and it all worked well for us. It definitely helps that my kids have been brought up with Malaysian food so it’s not completely foreign and two of them are good eaters. But even my fussier one had plenty that he loved and was able to try a lot as we just tried so many things.

I highly recommend doing a food tour. Kuala Lumpur is the perfect city for it. I just wish I had done one on my first trip and not my 15th! As now I have so many more dishes I love and want to eat more of!

“ This was possibly one of my favorite trips of our holiday. We had the most entertaining and knowledgeable guide Abdul who gave us so much information as we traveled between the various places.  We then went on to have dinner at the most amazing local seafood restaurant. Very rough and ready but what a meal. Hand on heart, best meal we had in Kuala Lumpur.  After we had eaten our body weight in food and local beer we boarded a boat and headed out onto the water as the sun dipped. Very shortly, we arrived at the marshy location where the fireflies reside.  This was absolutely magical, the twinkly lights were so endearing, a very unique experience. KL Tours were professional and clearly very experienced. ” – GetYourGuide traveler (read more reviews )

Fun Experience with KL Hop-On Hop-Off

February 27, 2022 by summerkid_summergirl

KL Hop-On Hop-Off – a fun, worthwhile sightseeing city tour bus that everyone should try! Great for family with kids if you are thinking where to bring your children to over the weekend, as well as for tourists visiting KL, and would like to explore the city and admire some of the iconic architectures and buildings here!

Have been hearing so much about KL Hop On Hop Off, and seeing this colourful double-decker sightseeing bus on the road for many times; yet, we never join this tour before.

To be honest, for the past ten years, our time in KL are mostly occupied by work, sometimes cafe hopping during the weekend. The pandemic has somehow, change our lifestyle in Kuala Lumpur. We begin to learn more about this place, its beauty, its heritage, its development and modernity. In fact, we’ve seen the extra effort that has been put in for local tourism these few years, upgrading major tourist destinations from as small as building better pavement to mural paintings, restoring old buildings, etc..

While for KL Hop-on Hop-off, it is definitely not something new in Malaysia, but we are finally “boarding” the bus for the first time. Woohooo.. Very excited.

KL Hop-On Hop-Off is actually a sightseeing bus that bring you every aspect of Kuala Lumpur, through a specially designated route. From the hi-rise towers up to the iconic skyscrapers, towards the historical destinations and lush green scenery that amidst of this attractive and recreational tour. Just sit back and relax in the double-decker air-conditioned bus..

..or choose to feel  the breeze at the open-air top deck while enjoying the tour.

KL Hop-on Hop-off have 2 types of tickets, which is Ronda-Ronda KL for daytime, and KL City of Light – a night tour. For daytime KL Hop-on Hop-off, there’s a slight difference on the schedule. From Monday to Thursday , it is named as Ronda-ronda KL, whereby it is on sightseeing-concept. Guests will be seated on the bus, and brought on a tour for about 2 hours, without drop off. While for Friday, Saturday and Sunday , it is on Hop On Hop Off concept. Bus will stop at certain destinations, so you can “hop off” and visit the places.

We were in Petaling Street on weekend afternoon, hence we get to ” hop on” the bus at Stop 13- Central Market. There should be another Stop 12- Chinatown but we were very clumsy that time with little information available, also feeling hot from all the walking under scorching hot afternoon. We even called to the helpline and asked for the nearest stop we could board the bus. Thankfully there was someone picking up the call. In fact, the staff was really helpful, trying his best to help us to find the stop. #ThankYouVeryMuch

So, just FYI, if you plan to start your journey from Central Market for your KL Hop-on Hop-off, do note the Central Market stop is opposite to it. In front of Travelogue Hotel, the bus stop next to Antipodean Cafe. Wait patiently, as bus arrived in an interval of 30-45 minutes. Expect to wait slightly longer though.

We thought we will be sitting inside the air-conditioned level due to the hot weather but we ended up at the open-air deck. Haha. It was really hot but it way much interesting up there.

Passed by Little India, KLCC, KL Tower, Central Market, Chinatown, Merdeka Square, Bird Park, Lake Garden, National Palace, National Museum and many other attractions.

The tour ended at Bukit Bintang, in front of Sungei Wang Plaza. Continue to explore some of the best shopping malls and grocery stores in Golden Triangle of KL, including Pavilion KL, Lot 10, Fahrenheit88, Don Don Donki, ISETAN, Starhill Gallery, etc.

*Our visit date was 12 February 2022. There might be changes with the schedule, drop points, etc.. from time to time. Please check with their helpline if there’s any doubt, queries or for latest news and information.
