Kuala Lumpur is an experience of contrasts. Against the backdrop of the city’s dizzying skyscrapers, including the iconic Petronas Twin Towers , you’ll find yourself wandering uneven back streets and navigating crowded night markets.

And great eating doesn’t stop at the borders of downtown but extends well into suburbs like Damansara and Cheras as well as coastal areas like Klang, Kapar, and Sekinchan.
