Jalan Alor hawkers

Delicious and exotic street food

Noteworthy for: This is not a place for fine dining—food is served on plastic plates, which you'll eat from standing up or on a rickety stool.

During the day, Jalan Alor is as quiet as a graveyard, but come sundown it fizzes into life. This famous food street is lined with dozens of restaurants and hawkers selling every kind of morsel you can imagine. For a little adventure in your diet, try some frog porridge or grilled stingrays.
Evenings on the street are hectic, loud and colourful, and when you're not fanning away charcoal smoke, the aromas are to die for. Expect delicious and very budget-friendly cuisine in a unique environment.
