Experience Details

Are you ready to experience some of the best-hidden treasures of Kuala Lumpur’s nightlife? Let‘s start off with a locally inspired cocktail infused with typically Malaysian flavours. A group of young entrepreneurs is slowly changing the way the capital city of Malaysia looks and feels. Much of this transformation is taking place in secret, behind obscure doorways. What used to be Brothels are now trendy bars, pubs and cocktail lounges. They blend in really nicely with the traditional street food served in this area for decades now. We will explore these alleys as well as the train station’s street art, murals and graffiti. Enjoy stories of the city‘s history and culture; foods for thought as well as your stomach! This tour comes with a special dish, but we'll keep it a secret until we meet. Speaking of food, we will make sure your stomach is taken care of with a sample from the best street food, including Clay Pot Chicken Rice and more. Catch a glimpse of KL‘s hidden nightlife today!
