The Color Of Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur

In the heart of Kuala Lumpur there is a place of vibrant and lively atmosphere which lights up every night.

Red lanterns are hanging everywhere, the streets get filled with lots of people, delicious food is served.

Do you know what this place is? I am talking about the bustling neighborhood of Chinatown, which is located around Petaling Street.

Chinatown is one of the most famous tourist area in Kuala Lumpur, very different from the modern and trendy areas of the city.

The environment is simply dynamic and vivacious, with its street market, food stalls and cheerful chattering.

People are used to eat outdoor, just sitting at small tables on the sidewalk and share their meal with their friends and family.

Walk among the smoke of the street food, the strong smell of durian (the typical Asian fruit) and hundreds of red lanterns! 

When you’re hungry, the variety of food is so overwhelming that you will struggle to decide what to eat.

You can choose among Chinese noodles, rice claypot, soups, pastries, satay… The choices are unlimited!

Do you get hungry late at night? Don’t worry, Chinatown never sleeps! There will be restaurants and food stalls serving food until the first lights of the morning.

If you are in Chinatown to do some shopping, then get ready to haggle: this is the way to do it!
