Kuala Lumpur's best-known food street, a few steps from the malls of Bukit Bintang. By day it is an ordinary street; in the evening restaurant tables spill onto the pavement and road, the smell of grilling rises and it fills with visitors until late at night. Both sides are lined with restaurants and small stalls serving grilled seafood, fish and prawns, charcoal satay, noodles and fried rice, along with carts of tropical fruit, durian, sweets and juices. Most restaurants here are Chinese and not halal-certified, many serve alcohol, and the street has only a few Muslim-run stalls. If you are looking for halal food, ask before sitting down, look for a displayed certificate, or simply stroll and stick to fruit and juices. The best time is after sunset; prices are moderate, but ask before ordering seafood as it is sold by weight. It is a few minutes' walk from Bukit Bintang station.
