| ChinaTown: Jalan Petaling |
With 1.6million people living in its urban area, Kuala Lumpur (or KL as it's also known) is a dazzling city.
Malaysia is proud of its multiculturalism and the capital certainly mirrors this: with a vibrant Chinatown area, full of shops and food corners, two big mosques and many modern museums, there is loads to be done - and tasted!
We were staying near Jalan Petaling that is a bustling market area with some amazing food corners.
Malaysian food is a fusion between Chinese, Indian and other Asian cuisines. The Chinese influence is very strong so you will get a lot of noodles and rice, as well as some salty fish and shrimp paste that are an acquired taste to say the least! We also got some tasty Indian dishes - we are missing our curries and thali's a little bit!
Nasi goreng: breakfast!

We also took time out to visit two of the mosques in the city: we got there in time for Friday prayers and it was very moving to see all the people sharing space outside the mosque on the hot tarmac to pray together.
