Food

Everything, there are a few hawkers markets with loads of food stalls... Roadside stalls all over the place...

The food really is magnificent and super cheap...

I was in KL last year and I don't think I spent more than about 3 quid on a meal. I didn't bother with the restaurants and instead headed for the Hawker centres and street food places. There are plenty scattered around and it's easy to see which are popular with locals and head there.

There's also Jalan Alor which is a bit more touristy with loads of food stalls which is worth a visit.

If you've decided to stay in kl make sure you check out petaling street one night.

You'll find 100% genuine replica Rolex's galore as well as various street food.

Anyone been to Malaysia? I'm gonna be in KL for 6 nights at the end of the month, wondering what's good to eat.

If you're like me, you'll eat anywhere but you'd want a targeted list, for stomach space is limited.
My KL experience is limited so a long transit and shuttle to hotel, but I've put a feeler out into my Malaysian friends, to see what they can recommend.

Late to the party but everything is good. Depends what capacity you're going in?

If you want modern places designed for food bloggers they've got those in abundance. Turnover of restaurants is fast (faster than Singapore's food scene as they don't seem to settle) so chances are anything written here will be out of date by the time you're there - if that's the experience you're looking for.

If you're not too snobby then there's plenty of great and super cheap food (my preference was for Hokkien/Hainanese (Jalan/Lorong Petaling) and Southern Indian dishes (Brickfields/Bangsar - the latter is a bit of a trek from KL Sentral).

As @aggi said, try Jalan Alor. It is touristy but I still really like the theatre and shitness of it. It's a sweaty, stinky mess of a place at night and it's heaven. Rotten plastic chairs, dirty tables, cold (sometimes) beers, tanks full of fish and crabs, gas stoves doing their hardest and loads of stuffed, happy people.

Assam Laksa. Nasi Lemak. Rendang. And and and ... Oh my god I am jealous!
