Kampung Baru’s Food Street is a night market in Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Kampung Baru’s food street along Jalan Raja Muda Musa is one of Kuala Lumpur’s most authentic and beloved culinary districts. Located just across the river from KLCC, this traditional Malay neighborhood comes alive every evening with the scent of coconut rice, grilled seafood, and spiced soups drifting through the air. The mix of sizzling woks, street chatter, and glowing food stalls gives Kampung Baru an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the city.
The area is predominantly Malay and fully halal, offering a wide spectrum of flavors that define Malaysia’s street dining culture. Visitors can enjoy comforting staples such as nasi lemak served with sambal, fried chicken, or squid; ikan bakar (grilled fish) seasoned with turmeric and sambal belacan; sup tulang merah (spicy bone marrow soup) simmered in rich tomato gravy; satay skewers grilled over charcoal and paired with peanut sauce; and fragrant nasi kerabu and nasi dagang from the East Coast. You’ll also find lighter options like mee rebus, mee kari, roti john, and traditional desserts such as cendol, pulut mangga (mango sticky rice), and air batu campur (ABC) to cool down the evening heat.
Famous eateries along the street include Nasi Lemak Wanjo, a long-standing icon serving Malaysia’s favorite breakfast-turned-supper dish since the 1960s; Suraya Seafood, renowned for its Thai-Malay style tom yam, squid butter milk, and grilled fish; and Gerai Kak Som, where locals queue for flavorful Malay mixed rice. Other must-try spots include Mat Rock Ayam Goreng Kunyit, Zam Zam Satay, and Nasi Kak Wok, known for Kelantanese-style chicken rice.
Dining here is budget to mid-range, with portions that reflect true local generosity. The area is accessible via LRT Kampung Baru Station, and limited street parking is available. Most visitors spend 1–2 hours wandering between stalls, tasting favorites, and soaking in the nostalgic charm of old Kuala Lumpur.
