Exploring Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur’s upscale district, gave us a captivating blend of luxury and street life. We started our walk past Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, the glamorous shopping mall anchored by international designer brands and upscale dining venues, its sleek exterior and grand interiors embody the polished side of Bukit Bintang.
Just a short stroll away, the scene transformed completely as we wandered down Jalan Alor, the vibrant street famed for its Chinese hawker stalls. Here, the air was rich with the scent of grilled seafood, spicy noodles, and local specialties hawked from open-air stalls. It was alive with energy and full of sights, sounds, and flavors. Walking through felt like diving into Kuala Lumpur’s authentic street culture.
Our Bukit Bintang wander was the perfect way to see both sides of the city, from high-end shopping at Pavilion KL to the lively local streets of Jalan Alor.
