Kuala Lumpur’s Instagram Cafe Trail: Petaling and Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Together with Bangsar and Bangsar Baru, the Petaling and Chinatown area is easily one of my most favorite neighborhoods in Kuala Lumpur.

Once you step outside the obvious street food scene of the Petaling Street, just a walk through one of its random adjacent streets will reveal a wide array of chic eateries and bars. But whereas Bangsar and Bangsar Baru have a slight air of elitism to it (akin to Singapore’s exquisite Dempsey Hill), the Petaling and Chinatown area is visibly vibrant and brimming with activities, all while without compromising the stylish eateries and equally appetizing cuisine.

This guide will walk you through some of the most interesting cafés on the Petaling and Chinatown neighborhoods, which are equal parts delicious yet visually stunning!

You may want to rise early this morning for a breakfast at this Hainan eatery. KafeiDian is visibly very popular, to the extent that the queue is always very long every time I am there. Personally, I would recommend to show up before it opens to increase your opportunity to sample delicious Hainanese cuisine of the renowned KafeiDian!
