Forget about the touristy Jonker Street Market – if you are keen to sample the best street food in the city head to this strip near Little India, where stalls sell an extraordinary array of food, including satay, laksa, chicken rice, fried noodles and otak-otak (spicy fish paste grilled in banana leaves). Purchase your meal and eat at the communal tables.
