Location
Chinatown Petaling Street
Most visitors to Chinatown Petaling Street leave thinking they've experienced Malaysian food. They haven't. Real Chinatown Petaling Street tastes like a charcoal wok at midnight, a curry that has been simmering since dawn, and a kuih lady who remembers your order from last time.
Proef Hokkien mee, popiah en dim sum tijdens een begeleide foodtour door KL's historische Chinatown. De kraampjes hier voeden al drie generaties lang dezelfde families en de recepten zijn niet veranderd.

The Stories
