Late Night Bintang - Kuala Lumpur
If you're in Kuala Lumpur, a late night feast down Alor Road is a must.
Bintang Walk refers to the more developed stretch along the main Bukit Bintang Road and Sultan Ismail Road roads, with the intersection of these two roads as its axis. This place has been transformed over the last 5 years to become one of the most trendy and busiest shopping clusters in the city. Street furniture lines the pavements here. Upscale cafes, restaurants and clubs continue to make their presence felt here and on the weekends, thousands of locals as well as tourists throng Bintang Walk and its shopping centres. Many major nightlife events take place here such as the New Year's countdown, Merdeka eve celebrations, street concerts and parties.
Nestled within Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle, the Bukit Bintang district begins with Bukit Bintang Road which starts at Raja Chulan Road and ends at Pudu Road. The two other roads that border the Bukit Bintang district are Sultan Ismail Road which intersects it and Imbi Road at the south. Walter Grenier Road, Bulan Road, Changkat Bukit Bintang and Alor Road are considered part of the entertainment district and it is Alor Road that has been set up specifically as a Hawker's Street Food area.
Alor Road features an array of cheap hawker food of mainly local Chinese cuisines and the vive is hectic with a constant stream of visitors day and night (especially at night!). It is popular among the locals for offering food served in a traditional open-air atmosphere, with chairs and tables dotting the curbs and road-sides. This is a place bustling at the seams with action and is a must go to for any foody. Although keep in mind for local and foreign Muslims, most of the stalls are non-halal.
