The road is filled with Chinese and Thai style street food. Service was really good and the food was better! The surprise was the cheap bill at the end. Finding "Malaysian" food proved to be difficult, but this was stunning food. Not somewhere to go for a romantic dinner, but I would go back again. More

I had been travelling around China, Hong Kong, Thailand etc by the time I came to be in Malaysia. This is when it turned into more of a standard holiday. We found out about Jalan Alor and it sounded great to me – cheap local food, street side, good prices, great atmosphere etc. Except it was none of those things... More

Great city-centre location so felt safe for tourists. Simple street with loads of on-street restaurants and side shops selling fake designer watches/handbags and DVDs (was $3/disc before hagglinga).
