2025 Chow Kit Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#TravelAbroad A famous local restaurant in Malaysia, if you come here, you must try it and you can't miss it. It has been open for 94 years. 😳 Let me tell you that the queue here is really long, but the wait is not long, I guarantee it. 🍞🧈The restaurant here will be a mix of local and modern Western food. There are rice, steak, bread, pork chops or breakfast, and served with both hot and cold drinks, Kopi and Milo. ##Cafe Review #Secret Location 📍 Jalan Kamunting, Chow Kit Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Cendol Durian Runtuh, Chow Kit. Roadside stall, easy to find but hard to find space to park your car. Authentic taste of coconut milk with lavish shaved ice, cendol & sweet corn.topped with 6-8 pieces of durian👍(you may choose durian kampung Rm13/bowl or durian kahwin Rm20/bowl or durian musang king Rm35/bowl). They adhere to the s.o.p during MCO. Service was fast. They provide 1 lane for customers to order for dine-in and 1 lane for those who wants to take-away. Just queue up, scan QR code, check your temperature, place your order at the counter, pay cash,receive your cendol and you are ready to enjoy the delicious Cendol Durian. 😉👍🇲🇾 #cendol #durian #musangking #deserts

During my recent stay in the Chow Kit area, I was pleasantly surprised by how much this small, cozy part of town had to offer. Though it may seem like a quieter corner of the city, Chow Kit truly felt like its own little hub—convenient, welcoming, and full of life. Everything I needed was just a short walk away. From the nearby mall that houses various fast food options and a bank, to the ever-handy KFC by the traffic lights—getting around was easy and stress-free. The area is also dotted with numerous hotels, which made it incredibly convenient, especially with all the nearby amenities. What really stood out to me was the abundance of convenience stores like 7-Eleven, Speedmart, KK Mart, and several locally- and foreign-owned laundry services. There are even self-service laundromats within walking distance of most accommodations—something I truly appreciated during my stay. For anyone who enjoys shopping for cosmetic products, there's a wholesale street and plaza 🕰️Business Hours: 9-6pm within walking distance just behind the 7-Eleven. It felt like stumbling upon a hidden gem—a treasure trove I hadn’t expected to find. Overall, Chow Kit gave me a sense of comfort and surprise. It's a place that quietly meets your needs while still offering a few delightful discoveries along the way.

Momo’s This hidden gem coffee shop with retro style is actually in the same location as the first social hotel @stayatmomos, its facade is a favorite spot, aesthetic and cute for ootd here. The hospitality is also really good, save it for your KL trip! Last pict: Ice Capp 13.9 RM Loc: Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Chow Kit, KL

KL dump! 💯

#favouriteitinerary Whenever I visit the overseas area, I will include special landmarks where I can take instagrammable pictures there .I will usually plan my itinerary in such a way where I will divide the place into various sections. Then one day I will visit one section. If you are visiting the Kuala Lumpur city in Malaysia, you should visit the Saloma Link to take some beautiful pictures. It would be best to visit there during the evening and night time, when they have lit up the place. The scene would definitely be very incredible and amazing. You can get here from a short taxi journey if you are staying at the chow kit area.

#favouriteitinerary Experience Kuala Lumpur in the most convenient and scenic way is by riding the KL Monorail! Avoid traffic congestion and explore the city’s vibrant heart with ease. The monorail connects key destinations, including Bukit Bintang, KL Sentral, and Chow Kit, making it the perfect choice for tourists and commuters alike. Travelers can also enjoy the panoramic views of the city’s skyline as you glide above bustling streets. Whether you’re heading to shopping hubs, business districts, or cultural attractions, the KL Monorail is fast, affordable, and hassle-free transportation option rather using taxis or Grab.

#magicalxmastrip Finally came to this famous Thai dessert that open in Malaysia! And guess what, this is the first branch landed in Malaysia! The queue was quite okay, we waited for about 15minutes until our turn. We did not expect this outlet is as big, I think easily could fit up to 100 pax per turn over. Love the Signature Thai Milk Tea Shokupan as it is flavourful, reason being it comes with perfectly salted buttered toast with kaya sauce and a salted cream as a topping! Strongly recommended!

I love this trip because I had a good stay. The room condition is acceptable. The price of the room is affordable. The environment is ok. The room temperature is comfortable. Overall, I am satisfied with this stay. I always enjoy the trip to Kuala Lumpur because it is easy to find a good hotel with a good price.

#100 Ways to Travel Traveling has no limits. When the rhythm of life begins, when the needs of business begin, at the same time, tourism can also begin. I went to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and found that the more I traveled abroad, the more I was attracted to the places of interest, not the food and beverage recommendations. Instead, I felt like a Sherlock Holmes exploring the world. In Singapore, I particularly liked eating Laksa, a daily food that is rich, full of flavor, and complex and diverse. In Kuala Lumpur, there are also many Laksa’s, and they are found in various places in daily life, which is really eye-catching. Whether traveling or visiting on purpose, I discovered a new world in Southeast Asia. It is about entering into a corner of the living world, eating local food with the locals. In fact, this is a small encyclopedia I discovered while traveling.

Guide to Chow Kit Market in Kuala Lumpur - Chow Kit Market is one of the largest traditional markets in Kuala Lumpur and one of the markets with the most locals. It is full of local cultural atmosphere. In Chow Kit Market, you can eat more snacks and fresh fruits, but there is a disadvantage: the surrounding environment is a bit poor, and it is a bit smelly when walking from the subway station to the market 😂 It is very close to the Petronas Twin Towers, and you can reach it by walking. So I was able to take photos with a big contrast. I think it’s great to feel this kind of down-to-earth atmosphere in Kuala Lumpur, a seemingly prosperous city. 🗺️ Address:🗺️Jalan Chow Kit, 50350 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ⏰ Opening hours:⏰ Every day 9:00-17:00 🚇 Transportation: Subway: The nearest subway station is Chow Kit Station, which is a few minutes walk to the market. Public Transport: There are several bus routes available. [Details can be found on Google maps🗺️]🚇 📸 Travel experience: Best time to visit: I personally think it is at night. The weather in Kuala Lumpur is very hot during the day and it will be cooler at night. Moreover, this market is almost open 24 hours a day, and snacks are basically open until 1-2 am, so night is undoubtedly the best time to visit. 🥬🥒🌶️🫑What's here? Chow Kit Market is famous for its fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, spices and snack stalls. The stalls in the market are closely arranged, full of the strong local life atmosphere, but these are basically bought by locals. 🔔 Notes: Be careful with your belongings:💰The market is crowded and messy, so it is recommended to take good care of your belongings. There is a wholesale market nearby, and there are night markets and other things, but the things sold are basically of poor quality, and there are many people from all over the place. Although it is generally safe, you still have to be more careful...😂

Cheap cheap massage £7 for half hour. Wonderful after a long flight.

Malaysia, Malaysia Tourism, Kuala Lumpur Tourism There are many must-see tourist spots in Malaysia, but this time I will share the local atmosphere of the area around Chow Kit. 📍MRL Chow Kit Station Chow Kit is located in the center of Kuala Lumpur, and is about 25 minutes away from Pavilion, one of the most popular tourist spots in Kuala Lumpur. You can also see the Twin Towers in KLCC, a famous area in the center. The area around Chow Kit is full of local atmosphere, the complete opposite of Kuala Lumpur's famous tourist spots, but it is a place where you can enjoy popular restaurants, fruit shops, cafes, and wall art. Furthermore, if you walk a little further, you will find Putra Station, the station of the Malayan Railway, and you can also go to Batu Caves in one train. #Malaysia #Kuala Lumpur #Malaysia Tourism #Kuala Lumpur Tourism #ChowKit #Chow Kit #Travel with Me
