Kuala Lumpur: Sambal Street Food Tour with 15+ Tastings

Very little of old Kuala Lumpur is left. Chow Kit and Kampung Baru represent some of the last neighbourhoods yet to be developed into glassy skyscrapers.

This evening Sambal Streets tour weaves through this tight-knit community known for traditional wooden housing and sizzling street eats, influenced by a kaleidoscope of Malay, Indian and Arab flavours.

Follow in the footsteps of the late roaming chef Anthony Bourdain who ate his way through this district’s night market, and let the food hosts show you the culinary ropes.

We’d rather not spoil the surprise, but a sneak peek of our 15+ tastings include some firm favourites: simmering bowls of beehun soup, hand-stretched rotis with a trio of curries, nasi lemak with piquant sambal, charcoal-grilled mackerel smothered in aromatic spices, palm-leaf wrapped otak-otak, and mamak-style stir-fried noodles - washed down with frothy teh tarik.

The tour concludes across the illuminated Saloma Bridge at one of the city’s best ground view points of the mighty Petronas Towers. Whilst it's possible to attempt such a culinary marathon alone, you’d be hard pushed to find these spots without joining this nightly moveable food feast. No wonder this is KL’s no.1 food tour on Tripadvisor.
