Welcome to Kuala Lumpur

Glitzy malls rub shoulders with street markets, gleaming skyscrapers loom over colonial buildings, and world-class restaurants vie for patronage with traditional hawker stands: Kuala Lumpur may be racing towards the future, but its rich cultural heritage refuses to be left behind. Even richer in this respect is World Heritage–listed Melaka, settled centuries before its brash northern neighbour and the vibrant sum of its wildly disparate multicultural parts.

Eating

Ask any traveller what they most enjoy about Malaysia and the answer is likely to be ‘the food, of course!’. As two of the acknowledged culinary hotspots in the country, Kuala Lumpur and Melaka are essential stops for any food-focused itinerary, offering culinary styles and cuisines to suit every taste and budget.

Hawker Stalls, Markets & Food Courts
To sample Malaysian hawker food, head to a street stall (either standalone or in a street market) or to a food court – many of the latter are in shopping malls or other commercial buildings. Place your order with one or multiple vendors, find a seat (shared tables are common) and pay for each dish either at the stall or as it’s delivered to your table. Many locals prefer to eat in air-conditioned food courts during the day but will head to pasar malam (night markets) on the street after the sun goes down.

Coffee Shops & Restaurants
While some kopitiam (coffee shops) operate like food courts, with different vendors under one roof, others are single-owner establishments. Expect to be served noodle and rice dishes, as well as all-day breakfast fare such as toast spread with kaya (coconut-cream jam).
Restoran (restaurants) range from casual, decades-old Chinese, Indian or Malay restaurants to upscale establishments offering contemporary global cuisine and a full bar.

Drinking & Nightlife

Bubble tea, iced kopi-o, cappuccino, a frosty beer or a dirty martini – KL’s cafes, teahouses and bars offer a multitude of ways to wet your whistle, and Melaka follows in its footsteps. Muslim mores push coffee and tea culture to the fore, but there’s no shortage of honest pubs, sophisticated speakeasies and other alcohol-fuelled venues.

Bars
Sky-high duties on alcohol can make a boozy night out awfully expensive, but KL compensates for that by offering such fabulous city views from its many elevated venues. In Melaka, pubs at ground level are the drinking holes of choice. The cheapest beers are those brewed locally, such as Tiger and Carlsberg; cocktails are many and varied, but good-quality wine can be hard to source.

Cafes
Traditional Malaysian kopi is popular in KL’s kopitiam (coffee shops). This dark, bitter brew is served in Chinese coffee shops and is an excellent antidote to a case of jet lag.
There’s no need to go without your daily dose of latte or espresso, though. The traditional kopitiam and their contemporary counterparts are rivalled by a host of excellent independent cafes that deal in single-origin beans and employ baristas trained to use classic coffee-making machines as well as third-wave equipment such as AeroPress.

Markets & Malls

Kuala Lumpur is a show pony on the Asian shopping parade, a serious rival to retail heavyweights Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong. Most of the retail action happens in modern malls, with traditional outdoor markets also popular. Shopping opportunities in Melaka are less enticing – save your ringgit for the capital.

What to Buy
