Jalan Alor (5♥)




Hosting a lot of hawker stalls and seafood restaurants, Jalan Alor is one of the most famous roads in Kuala Lumpur for food. Located just behind Jalan Bukit Bintang and a short walk away from Changkat Bukit Bintang, it is a favourite after-clubbing dining spot in the Golden Triangle area.

Though the seafood at the air-conditioned restaurants is really good and inexpensive, we highly recommend the hawker food. KL being an immigrant city, the variety of food available is amazing and in Jalan Alor the barbecued meats, noodles and desserts are some of the best (and cheapest) in the city. Most of these dishes cannot be found in fashion-conscious restaurants – and even if they are, they are rarely as tasty, so hawker stalls are a favourite on the city’s foodie scene.

Called the cultural hearth of the city’s local cuisine, tourists rarely venture here largely because of its ‘hidden’ location. A sharp contrast to trendy Jalan Bukit Bintang and Changkat Bukit Bintang, Jalan Alor has a traditional charm to it with atmospheric air-conditioned Chinese seafood restaurants, bright fluorescent restaurant signage lighting and mini red Chinese lanterns strung up in the trees. But it is also a tad messy because of the seemingly-endless row of hawker stalls set up on the five-foot walkway, with plastic tables and chairs spilling out onto the road.

At the food stalls food is cooked in a furious fashion (with delicious smells coming from the frying woks and boiling pots) and served on plastic plates in a rainbow of colours. Most hawker stalls have picture menus, making ordering simple. 



The easiest way to get here is via monorail: alight at the Bukit Bintang stop and head north along Jalan Bukit Bintang: from there Jalan Alor is a one-minute walk




吉隆坡阿罗街
吉隆坡阿罗街美食Jalan Alor拥有五十多年历史,街上有超过100种各式美食,是吉隆坡最著名的美食街,食物种类有烧鸡翅、葡萄牙烧鱼、炒裸条、 罗惹、沙爹、尤鱼蓊菜、猪肉粥、亚三叻沙、药材炖汤、海鲜、 点心、肉骨茶等。
                                                                      
其实在40年前,阿罗街是一个红灯区,数名小贩在该处摆档营业,大部分光顾的熟客,是来自风月场所的顾客。后来阿罗街脱胎换骨,以食物天堂的面貌示人,许多人为一尝其美食,而到此一游。由于地点适中,小贩生意蒸蒸日上,由初期的数十档摊位,增加至目前的数百档。从2002年杪开始,吉隆坡市政局曾多次进行美化工作,并提升街道排水系统,以打造美食天堂,成为武吉免登区四大美食街之一。阿罗街在上午时段比较寂静,夜晚人潮则络绎不绝,各种街头。


与另外一条吉隆坡美食街茨厂街相比,Jalan Alor种类更加丰富,当然价位自然会高一些。而茨厂街中国美食多一些,价位相对比较低廉。但由于街道上还有摊贩,因此美食摊位没有阿罗街集中。
