Often referred to as Malaysia’s national dish, you can’t miss nasi lemak when you are on your package holidays to Kuala Lumpur. It is usually made with coconut rice, sambal paste, peanuts and eggs, but you can have it served with chicken as well. The best place to try this in Kuala Lumpur is the Village Park Restaurant, which is a little outside the city but easy to get to by taxi or bus. Another firm favourite is curry laksa, often called curry mee, which can be spicy but with noodles and prawns in a coconut broth, it can’t be beaten. Let us find you excellent discount holidays so that you can visit and try these delicious dishes.
What to bring from Kuala Lumpur?
Souvenir hunting on your holiday to Kuala Lumpur becomes simple when you visit the Central Market. Known as Pasar Seni in the local language, Malay, this market is housed in a large, art-deco building and contains stalls that sell all manner of Malaysian goodies. You can find batik prints, hand-woven songket, and wau, the traditional kites that were used for competitions. You can also find chocolate here that is made with a durian flavour. If you are not familiar with the durian, it is a fruit that is banned in many indoor places because of its unusual and overpowering odour, and it has an acquired taste that some think delicious. It is certainly unusual, so contact us today and we will find you the best price for your low-cost holiday and you can soon try it for yourself.
