Eating in Kuala Lumpur is a true gastronomic pleasure. Local food consists of Malay, Chinese, Indian,  Portuguese and nonya cuisine and can be found throughout the country in most restaurants and hotels. The so called hawker-stalls alongside the streets are however the favorite eating places for the local people. It's good, has endless varieties and it's cheap. A fried noodle dish with a glass of fresh lime juice don't hurt your pocket more than US$ 0.80-1.00. Try dishes like laksa, roti canai, satay, nasi lemak, wide variety of noodle dishes, chicken rice.... , the list would be endless. You will find good foreign cuisine as well, like French, Italian, Japanese and Korean. Fast food like burgers are plenty available!!! 

Popular drinks are a wide range of fresh fruit juices, cola, ice lemon tea and the famous teh tarik (hot tea) .  Anchor, Tiger and Carlsberg beer is locally brewed. You will find imported beer as well.

Kuala Lumpur has a very western style night entertainment. Pubs, bars and disco's are everywhere and enjoyed equally by locals as travelers from near and far. The city center has changed the last years as more nightspots and restaurants in hotels have been added. Sleepy lanes have been changed into vibrant streets with cozy restaurants and music bars.  Jalan Changkat Bukit Bintang, Tengkat Tong Shin to mention a few. THE NIGHT LIFE is more hidden, but girls can be found in quite a few places. Ask the local guys, they know it to well.
