Shah Alam was built for civil servants and students from every corner of the peninsula, and they brought their kitchens with them. Eat Kelantanese nasi kerabu and nasi dagang, Terengganu keropok lekor, laksa Johor, Minang rendang and Javanese soto, often on the same street. Warungs fill at breakfast and lunch, nasi campur stalls feed the office crowd, and after dark the pasar malam at Seksyen 6 and Setia Alam take over with satay, putu piring and grilled corn. Nearly everything is halal.
