Street Food in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at Jalan Petaling Street Night Market in Chinatown Travel Food Video Transcript:

Welcome to Chinatown! Yeah, so we’re in Kuala Lumpur in Chinatown. This is where we’re staying. Yes. We’re hungry. We’re craving some street food and this is just the place to check it out. Yeah, so today we’re going to be eating along Jalan Petaling (茨厂街). Yeah, Petaling Night Market Street (茨廠街). Yeah, lots of food here and it is already busy. The sun has gone down so let’s go get started.

Food time.

Okay, so we walked out of the hotel and we found. We found something right away. Oh yeah. It is claypot chicken rice and it looks so good from across the street. It is cooking right behind us. Literally right behind us. It looks so good. We can’t wait for it to arrive. In the meantime you’ve got yourself a local iced tea. Ice tea. It is so hot out.

I tried a little bit of it already. It is quite sweet.

Alright, the claypot chicken rice (砂煲鸡饭) is here. Check it out. It is served in like this claypot itself so I’m being very careful not to touch it because I have a feeling this would burn.

So there you go. It is a huge portion. I’m glad we ordered just one. There is no way I could eat all of that. I have to say the aroma. The smell coming out of there is it just smells amazing. I don’t know how it is going to taste but it just smells so good.

So we just popped in to a food centre here in the heart of Chinatown and we are ordering more food. We are having fried char kway teow (炒粿條 – 炒粿条) and this is a noodle dish that is cooked at really high heat. Apparently, Sam ordered two different types of noodles so it is going to be a mix of thin noodles and really thick noodles. Um, and yeah it is cooked with soy sauce, chili, chives, beansprouts and we’ll see what else is in there once the food actually arrives.

So here we are enjoying some juice. Freshly pressed sugarcane juice.

Wow. Is that good?

Yeah. Naturally sweet?

I love the name of these. We have wife cake (老婆餅 – 老婆饼) and husband we have husband cake (老公饼).

So Sam here is going to sample a wife cake (老婆餅 – 老婆饼). A wife cake. And I believe there is melon inside of it.

I’m just going to take an enormous bite. So it looks like a golden puff pastry. Mmm. Oh it looks flaky too.

Mmmm.

Yeah. You can taste that melon.

Really flaky on the outside. It is kind of sweet but not that sweet.

Okay. This is our last snack of the night. Absolute last. And yeah, I was pretty much already full and I’m like okay I’ll try one more thing.

So we’re getting a small little ice cream.

Red bean coconut milk ice cream. It was only 2 Ringgit. So like something like 40 cents. So cheap.

You taste the coconut milk and you do taste the red bean as well. As you would expect.

Food adventures over!

Woah. Alright, so we’ve been at the market for about an hour and a half. Yeah. I don’t know if you can see but we are glistening right now. Like there is some serious glow happening. Yeah. I don’t know if that is like the meat sweats or just the temperature or the two things combined. I’m pretty sure it is both.

Anyways, calling that a night here from Kuala Lumpur. Yeah. Definitely, definitely if you’re visiting this city get in to the street food. It is fantastic and it is cheap and it is fun. It is a great way to spend a night out. Yeah, and we’ll see you with more food videos soon.

This is part of our Travel in Malaysia video series showcasing Malaysian food, Malaysian culture and Malaysian cuisine.
