Eating 11 Foods in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown (Malaysian Food is Amazing)

One of the best places to get Malaysian street food in Kuala Lumpur is in Chinatown. Known for it's incredible blend of Malay and Chinese cuisine, this is foodie heaven in Kuala Lumpur, and we wanted to do it justice! To have the best experience possible, we did our food tour with A Chef's Tour. If you want to do this same tour, just click this link: achefstour.com/tour/kuala-lum...
If you've watched some of our other food tour video in India or Singapore, you already know how much we love doing food tours with A Chef's Tour. This time, in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown, our guide Kiran took us down the backstreets of Petaling as she showed us shop after shop filled with the most amazing smells you can imagine. Even in these small streets and alleys you will find many Michelin rated dishes that have been handed down through many generations. We got to try the famous asam laksa, lala noodles, cendol, peanut muah chee, char siu bao, and so much more!
This Malaysian street food tour was an incredible way to explore more of Kuala Lumpur and learn about Malaysia's rich and colourful history. The Chinese influence in Malaysia is very strong as many Chinese immigrants arrived in Malaysia in the 19th and 20th centuries. Going on a street food tour in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown is a great way to experience the ethnic diversity in Malaysia. The food is incredible, and its such an exciting way to better understand the country of Malaysia.
In case you missed it, we have ANOTHER Malaysia food tour video up on our channel (yes, we love food THAT much), and we also have a first impressions of Kuala Lumpur video! To see the full Malaysia playlist, click here: • Malaysia Travel Vlogs

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on KZbin, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.

All of the A Chef's Tour's have been really cool to see all of the regional foods and beverages, but you guys looked like you really had a fun time on this food tour. That coffee looked so good with your peanut spread sandwich, but what was the favorite dish of the day?

[@cleanenergyinside1921]

Asam Laksa was once voted second best noodle dish in the world after Pad Thai by CNN. Last year it was number 1 in the Time Out global list.

[@nicoleandmico]

So amazing! We’ve seen it’s won some amazing awards. Mico loved it, but I’m not a big fan of sour foods. I’m still so glad I got to try!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Not many like fishy soup noodle like asam laksa

[@tomiemyspace5054]

@@nicoleandmico Quite an acquired taste. Especially those who are fish-intolerant 🤗. Too much umami in the soup/gravy.

[@OHANA-Beach-Suites-CDO]

I keep hearing and seeing great things about it there! Have fun!

[@lanatir]

Ah nice to see Madam Tang muachi. She sadly just passed away recently. So this may be one of her last few appearances.

[@nicoleandmico]

We sadly saw the news that she passed. We were lucky to be served by her 🤗

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Condolence to her family. Rip

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Wonderful.

[@nicoleandmico]

Thank you!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@nicoleandmico 😄

[@siamesejasmine]

I want to eat ALL of the noodles! I just want a whole huge noodle tour! 🍜🍜🍜🍜

[@nickloong]

You guys have just discovered the tip of the iceberg in terms of food choices as there're so much more to be explored, claypot chicken rice, nasi lemak, nasi kandar, wan tan noodles, beef noodles and Char Kueh Teow just to name a few!😂😊

[@nicoleandmico]

Totally! We actually tried most of the dishes you just mentioned in our first food tour in Kuala Lumpur. They were amazing!

[@nickloong]

@nicoleandmico Yes, they're more to come. The more popular dishes would be the ones stated above, but they're those which are less well known, but taste so good, heard of Bak Kut Teh(Chinese herbal pork stew), Putu Mayam (Indian vermicelli served with brown sugar and dry coconut), Ikan masak Asam Pedas (fish cuts cooked with dry tamarind and chilli paste)? Do give it a try!😊👌

[@nicoleandmico]

@nickloong wow, that all sounds so amazing. Thank you for the suggestions!! We absolutely love trying new foods

[@jetaimefidelis]

I watched anthony bourdain's no reservation show before and I will rephrase what he said: Malaysian cuisine is not aesthetically appealing but when you eat it, it is very delicious.

[@nicoleandmico]

So well said. We loved it!!

[@harshalchavan94]

You try to food its great work, and I'm very happy to watch you both a good couple

[@nicoleandmico]

Thank you so much!

[@jpylp]

Thanks for another awesome food tour! A Chef’s Tour seems to be your go to company and we can see why. Thanks to your channel we booked A Chefs tour with Avik when we were in Kolkata a few months ago and it was AMAZING! Who was the other guy that was seen several times in the background of your video? It seemed as if you were all following him like maybe he was security?🤔

[@nicoleandmico]

That is so awesome to hear! Our experience with Avik in Kolkata was one of our favourites, so it's great to heat you also had an awesome time with him!! The fella in this video is Siddoz, he is another one of A Chef Tours' food guides. He was actually our guide for our first food tour in Malaysia and is amazing. He joined us for this tour as he was the guide who worked with A Chef Tours' owners to created this particular tour 😀

[@jpylp]

@@nicoleandmico Thanks. I guess I need to go back and watch your other video with Siddoz again. Lol Your videos in and around Kuala Lumpur really have us wanting to travel there. Thanks again!

[@EarlKuOnly]

asam laksa is made primarily with a fish stock, mackarel and lots of tamarind slice and then top on lotsa vege and must have are mint leaves

[@ItsMeZef]

Asam laksa 🤤🤤🤤

[@ian_isma]

Delicious chinese foods, this type of foods also similar to Taiwan. Should try Bak kut teh, original from Malaysian chinese.

[@vladkhvan1326]

Looks like in Malaysia just about any dish will have beans or condensed milk (or both).😀

[@nicoleandmico]

😋

[@stevenyap6206]

That looks like a kaya Pau to me.... Besides that...there are also the red beams pau..and dark beam pau....check that out yourself... Easily available in any stall selling pau....

[@jaykassim3474]

Nicole face when trying Asam Laksa got me 😂😂😂😂❤️🇲🇾

[@nicoleandmico]

😂😂😂

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Madras lane. Next to jalan petaling. Back lane.

[@user-tg9ri8lu4v]

we call chnese and indian in malaysia as pedatang

[@EarlKuOnly]

if u paid for that tour, no justice on petaling street food

[@sreehariasv4329]

Visit India future ?

[@stevenyap6206]

That was not the original bobo cha-cha... The ori has only red sweet potato, orange sweet potato, yam, sago and the glutinous jelly....and off course the broth is water, santan, pandan Dan sugar/brown sugar...

[@mr.wonderfool6544]

It looks dirty those areas. Food looking mid as well. Should ask the locals where the good spots are.

[@ManaTonga2531]

my money goes to a China guy and 40 years i business this pancakes and no money🤑👀 haila apek everybody knows your wife keep that money mahh

[@EarlKuOnly]

thats honestly a very bad food tour guide, she cant explain much on the lala noodle ... or actually most of the food or ur editing has chopped it off ...
