Jalan Alor

A stupid decision made by DBKL....
...to rename the world-renowned Jalan Alor.
then change it back!!

FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

Formerly known as the Red light district of KL. The
area has since undergone a number of facelifts, and
the hosts now cater more to delight the
gastronomical passions of its patrons. The stalls are
parked all along the street. It is quite an overwhelm
-ing experience for the first timers, who may have
some difficulty on deciding where to eat.

The Jalan Alor name has been in existence for 35
years. Alor means groove,or lane in Bahasa Malaysia
, while Kejora means Venus, the second planet in the
solar system.

The allure of Jalan Alor is the food.Along the short
road, there are more than a dozen restaurants and
scores more hawker stalls selling food ranging from
Penang char koay teow to frog porridge.

Some folks say the char siew (barbecued pork)
there is the best in town while others say it is the
grilled chicken wings.Some restaurants open
during the daytime, but it is at night that the road
really comes alive as strings of fluorescent lights and
bulbs light up the area and hundreds of locals and
bus loads of tourists dine alfresco.
