From North Asia to South Asia to Southeast Asia, East Asia to Central Asia to West Asia, every cuisine is embedded with tradition, cultural practices, and the notion of home – whether through the ingredients, cooking methods, or preferences in flavours and spice levels.
Come with us to the unique places to dine in Asia, from roadside stalls to cafés, hawker centres to fine-dining restaurants. While the places may differ in price range and dining experience, one thing is for sure: Each serves up a storm more delicious than the last.
The world’s best street food culture arguably comes from Asia. It is a quick and affordable option – and most importantly, incredibly tasty. Whether you’re trudging through the back alleys of Bangkok or navigating the lanes of Taiwan, you’re bound to find something cheap and delicious!
Street Markets
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
Jalan Alor Market
The best of Kuala Lumpur’s hawker culture congregates at Jalan Alor, where they form an unbroken chain of brightly-lit stalls. Located in Bukit Bintang, it is easily accessible and all you need to bring is a small sum of money and a large appetite. While the market opens in the morning, it is generally quiet in the daytime. Visit after sundown when the street is lit in colour, and the market is bustling.
