Centrale Marked

Filled with stalls selling an eye-watering myriad of trinkets, homeware, fabrics, collectables and souvenirs, Centrale Marked is one of Kuala Lumpur’s most well-known and popular tourist attractions. A former wet market, Central Market has since been transformed into a bustling center, hosting cultural events during special occasions and providing tourists and locals with a treasured heritage gem.

Malaysias kulturarv kommer til live gennem indviklede batiktryk, smukke lokale tekstiler og kærligt håndlavede produkter – alt sammen tilgængeligt på Central Market. Tag et stykke 'Malaysia, Truly Asia' med hjem og støt disse lokale håndværkere!

De-hard street food elskere vil ikke gå sultne herfra – Central Market er også en lokal madhavn, der sælger elskede lokale retter såsom muah chee (en stivelsesholdig snack vanedannende overhældt i søde, sprøde jordnødder) og ais kachang – en forfriskende barberet isdessert toppet med en kugle is.

Overlook the kitsch and enjoy being a bona fide tourist here, especially during festivities where you can find special products commemorating the celebrations. Looking for souvenirs to bring back your loved ones? Central Market is your place to go!

Sri Mahamariamman-templet

Standing in all its glory is the Sri Mahamariamman-templet, the oldest and wealthiest Hindu temple situated in Kuala Lumpur. With its vibrant and extravagant design, this temple is a treat for the eyes, a truly spiritual and architectural homage.

På toppen af Sri Mahamariamman-templet ligger den ikoniske 22,9 m lange gopuram, også kendt som et monumentalt tårn. Omhyggeligt skulptureret af dygtige håndværkere, i alt 228 hinduistiske guder pryder dette fem-etagers tårn, hvilket gør den arkitektoniske struktur af dette tempel endnu mere imponerende. Templet er et sted med ro og trøst, og det har en beroligende og fredelig atmosfære. For dem, der er nysgerrige efter de hinduistiske ritualer eller har en stor interesse for arkitektur, bør Sri Mahamariamman-templet ikke gå glip af.

Petaling Street

Du kan ikke gå glip af Petaling Street med sin storslåede orientalske buegang, der står højt ved indgangen. Antag, at moderne indkøbscentre begynder at se ud og føles det samme for dig. I så fald vil du uden tvivl sætte pris på den autentiske stemning på Petaling Street – den er høj, den er travl, den er uundskyldende livlig. Dette shoppingparadis er det perfekte sted for tilbudsjægere. Finpuds dine forhandlingsevner, og kom klar til at prutte!

Petaling Street tilbyder også en overflod af madmuligheder, der sælger forskellige lokale snacks og købmandsretter. Gaden er normalt åben til de små timer om natten, hvilket gør den til det perfekte sted at afslutte din dag, hvis du leder efter et solidt lokalt måltid eller en sen shoppingoplevelse. Some must-tries are the mouthwatering beef noodles from Shin Kee Beef Noodles as well as the silky-soft muah chee from Madam Tang Muah Chee for a delicious dessert or snack option.

Petronas tvillingetårne

At a mind-blowing height of 451.9m, the Petronas tvillingetårne stands in all its glory as the tallest twin towers in the world as a now-famous landmark of Kuala Lumpur. With its distinctive postmodern style – seamlessly integrated with elements of Islamic art – the Petronas Towers is deserving of its superstructure claim and as a true icon of KL. Going on a tower tour may sound very touristy, but there’s no better way to explore the Petronas Towers. This highly engaging tour is guaranteed to leave you amazed and in awe of its complex yet magnificent infrastructure. The informative tour will reveal this magnificent building’s development process from start to finish. The tour’s pièce de résistance is the opportunity to admire the vast, panoramic view of the city from the 86th floor of the tower. The breathtaking view of the city, especially at night, is truly something that one should not miss out on. Especially for those who appreciate architectural design or scenic city views, we urge you not to dismiss the Petronas Towers as just another skyscraper. If you have extra time, head over to Petronas Art Gallery to admire various local and international art pieces and explore the neighborhood around the tower.

Jalan Alor

Home to many veterans’ cooks dishing up the most palatable and delectable street food, Jalan Alor truly is the definition of a heavenly food galore. As the sky darkens, Jalan Alor gradually begins to come to life, with vibrant fluorescent stall signs lighting up the street and drawing in a steady stream of hungry foodies.

Den energifyldte atmosfære på denne gade er blot en af de mange grunde, der gør det at spise på Jalan Alor til en så behagelig og unik oplevelse at prøve noget af Malaysias elskede streetfood. Gå ikke glip af at hengive dig til en dybt varme tallerken med char kway teow, risnudler stegt i en sydende varm wok. Denne ydmyge nudelret har en tydelig røget smag og er stærkt vanedannende.

For a rich, decadent treat, have a go at the Fried Durian sold at Jalan Alor. This warm, tasty treat is impossibly addictive, with its buttery, flaky crust and scrumptious durian filling that oozes out with each bite. Whether it’s a dinner of supper, you’re up for a hearty, satisfactory one! The best time to visit Jalan Alor is after the sun sets because the majority of the stalls are only open then.
