Jalan Alor - Night Market

Jalan Alor is a night market in the Bukit Bintang district of Kuala Lumpur that stretches about 500 meters with open stalls, restaurants, and outdoor seating along a busy street. The market offers a wide range of dishes, from seafood and grilled meats to noodles, desserts, and drinks served by numerous independent vendors and established restaurants.

The market originated in the early 1900s when Chinese immigrants set up small shops and food stalls in this area, creating a trading and dining hub. The traditions of these early founders continue to influence the food and appearance of the market today.

Jalan Alor carries the street's own name and displays Kuala Lumpur's cultural blend through its diverse cuisines - Malaysian, Chinese, Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese all in one place. The way locals and visitors sit together at tables sharing different dishes reflects the open and social nature of daily life in the city.

The market is best visited after sunset when it is fully lit and energy comes alive, though it opens around 5 pm and crowds are lighter before 7:30 pm. It is easily accessible by the Bukit Bintang MRT station with just a few minutes walk or by taxi from most places in Kuala Lumpur.

Coconut ice cream is served here in halved coconut shells with pieces of coconut meat on top, making the dessert visually striking and authentic. This distinctive presentation style is characteristic of Southeast Asian night markets and turns each serving into a local experience.
