Uncover the Best Restaurants and Hidden Gems on Petaling Street, Malaysia

Petaling Street, nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown, is more than just a bustling market street. It's a vibrant blend of history, culture, and mouthwatering cuisine, making Petaling Street in Malaysia a must-visit destination for food lovers and travelers alike. Whether you’re seeking the best restaurants in Malaysia or exploring hidden gems, Petaling Street has something to offer everyone. This article delves into the top restaurants and the unique experiences that await you on this iconic street.

Kim Lian Kee: The Birthplace of Hokkien Mee

One of the oldest and most famous eateries on Petaling Street is Kim Lian Kee. Established in 1927, this restaurant is often credited as the birthplace of Hokkien Mee, a stir-fried noodle dish that has become a staple of Malaysian cuisine. The noodles, thick and chewy, are coated in a rich, dark soy sauce, and are typically served with a mix of pork, squid, and prawns. The smoky flavor, achieved by cooking over a high flame in a traditional wok, makes this dish a must-try for any visitor.

Restoran Old China Café: A Taste of Nostalgia

For those seeking a taste of the past, Restoran Old China Café offers a unique dining experience. Located just a short walk from Petaling Street, this restaurant is housed in a building that dates back to the pre-war era. The décor, with its antique furniture and vintage photographs, transports diners to a bygone era. The menu features classic Peranakan (Straits Chinese) dishes, such as Nyonya Laksa and Beef Rendang, prepared with recipes passed down through generations.

Hon Kee Porridge: Comfort in a Bowl

A visit to Petaling Street wouldn’t be complete without sampling the comfort food that has sustained locals for decades. Hon Kee Porridge, a humble stall that has been around since the 1940s, is famous for its silky smooth rice porridge. The signature dish here is the raw fish porridge, where fresh fish slices are served on the side, allowing diners to add them to the steaming hot porridge, cooking them instantly. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal, perfect for breakfast or a light supper.

Merchant’s Lane: A Hidden Café Gem

Hidden in plain sight, Merchant’s Lane is a café that has earned a reputation as one of Petaling Street’s most Instagram-worthy spots. Tucked away behind an unassuming façade, this café is a sanctuary of calm amidst the chaos of Chinatown. The interior is a blend of rustic charm and modern chic, with exposed brick walls, potted plants, and cozy nooks. The menu features a fusion of Western and Asian dishes, with popular choices like the ‘Italian Chow Mein’ and the ‘South China Sea’ – a unique take on Malaysian Nasi Lemak. Don’t forget to try their signature desserts and specialty coffee, perfect for a leisurely afternoon break.

Sze Ngan Chye: The Legendary Roast Duck

Petaling Street is home to many street vendors, but few are as iconic as Sze Ngan Chye, known for its delicious roast duck. This stall, which has been in operation for over 60 years, is famous for its succulent, crispy-skinned roast duck. The secret lies in the marinade, a blend of herbs and spices that has been perfected over generations. The ducks are roasted to perfection, with a golden-brown skin that crackles with every bite. It’s no wonder that locals and tourists alike flock to this stall for a taste of one of Kuala Lumpur’s best roast ducks.

Central Market: A Cultural Haven

Just a stone’s throw from Petaling Street is Central Market, a hub of arts and crafts that showcases Malaysia’s diverse cultural heritage. Here, you can find everything from traditional batik prints to handmade jewelry, as well as local artwork. The market is also home to numerous art galleries and cultural performances, providing a deeper insight into Malaysian culture.

Kwai Chai Hong: A Walk through History

Tucked away in a back alley off Petaling Street, Kwai Chai Hong is a restored heritage lane that offers a glimpse into Chinatown’s past. The alley is adorned with murals that depict scenes of daily life in the 1960s, transporting visitors back in time. It’s a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

Guan Di Temple: A Spiritual Retreat

For a moment of peace and reflection, visit the Guan Di Temple, one of the oldest and most revered temples in Kuala Lumpur. Dedicated to Guan Yu, the Chinese god of war, this temple is a place of worship and tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of Chinatown. The intricate architecture and the smell of incense create a serene atmosphere that contrasts with the lively streets outside.

Conclusion

Petaling Street is a destination that offers a rich tapestry of experiences. From savoring the best local dishes at iconic restaurants to discovering hidden cultural gems, this street encapsulates the essence of Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown. Whether you’re a food lover, a history enthusiast, or simply a curious traveler, Petaling Street promises a memorable journey through the heart of Malaysia’s vibrant capital.

What Did Kyle Patrick & Jesse Ruben Do in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur?

theNanaLand is so honored to meet Kyle Patrick (from the Click Five) & Jesse Ruben in person. It’s not like artist-blogger, but like friends (yes they are super friendly)!

Let’s nostalgic for a bit! When you read this, please don’t sing:

“First you say you won’t, then you say you will..”

Welcome to Chinatown, Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur MALAYSIA!

Kyle Patrick & Jesse Ruben did their Asian tour last week to Manila, Jakarta, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur.

Here is the sneak & peak of their journey in South East Asia:

Singapore: covered by Bandwagon Asia

Manila: covered by Bandwagon Asia

Jakarta: covered by Tabloid Bintang

As the paradise of street food and good bargain things, of course Kyle & Jesse did not miss this chance!

The journey starts here.

1. Jesse left his sunglasses. Should he buy a new one? Of course he did! It’s KL. Sun kissed the skin (and eyes too!).

P.S: no one of us helped to bargain the price. He did it by himself. Ooops sorry Jesse! He got it for RM35.

2. So handsome with a new glasses! Now is the time for souvenir!

Yes, we can find key chains, fridge magnet, shirts, miniature of the KL Twin Tower, etc. The price starts at RM5. Jesse looks so interested. Any luck?

3. Wondering BTS of KL Twin Tower? Chantal, our vlogger explained about it. Curious? Check it HERE!

So, now, are you curious to go to the 86th floor of KL Twin Tower?

4. Make sure you don’t miss the best COCONUT in KL!

Kyle & Jesse could not stop praising the coconut. It’s just perfect with the weather in KL (it’s SUMMER yooo?!).

5. It’s time to munch munch something!  Loong Kee BBQ Dried Meat you’re just the best!

Chinatown is the best place to hunt BBQ Dried Meat. It’s like the hub! There are a few shops, but this is the most recommended.

6. The next street food is APAM BALIK!

Yes, people were arguing about apam balik because in Indonesia it is called martabak. But, Malaysian and Indonesian are neighbors. Let the food reunite us! It is made by flour like pancake but fully covered by peanuts and chocolate. (PS: theNanaLand is allergic to peanut, so I just stared at Kyle & Jesse and explained to them what would happen in the next 10 minutes if I ate it).

7. Kyle & Jesse’s late-lunch-almost-dinner. But who would not be excited to eat BA-KU-TEH?

Yes, again and again, the paradise is here! The best Bakuteh in KL. Go to Chinatown!

8. We made a challenge to draw something to their fanssss. Let’s take a look :)

ALL HAIL BA-KU-TEH

So sweet!

Hope you had a great time, Kyle & Jesse! Please come back! We miss you already. 

We won’t say “I won’t” like Jenny  😋
