Glutton Street

Kuala Lumpur


Off the tourist radar but renowned locally, this hawker-stall alley comes to life at night. Evening grazing could include addictive fried chicken, chai tow kway (radish cake stir-fried with soy sauce, bean sprouts and egg), prawn fritters and barbecued dried squid, all for bargain prices.
