Hey Lykkers! ✨ Ever been out in Malaysia, totally starving, and unsure what to grab from those super tempting street stalls? That's me almost every weekend 😅

After countless food hunts (and happy food comas), I'm finally sharing my top 5 Malaysian street food picks. All from real stalls I've tried—no fancy spots, just local goodness that hits the spot. Let's go makan! 🍴💛

🍜 #1 – Penang Char Kway Teow

I had this in George Town and wow—talk about wok magic 🔥

It's stir-fried flat noodles with prawns, eggs, bean sprouts, and chives, done over high heat for that smoky “wok hei” flavor.

Mine was from a stall near Chulia Street. It was only RM7 and totally worth the sweat and queue.

Pro tip: get it spicy and with extra egg. Game changer.

🍢 #2 – Satay Celup in Melaka

Okay, this one's messy in the best way possible!

You pick your skewers—fish balls, mushrooms, tofu, prawns—and dip them in a bubbling hot peanut satay sauce.

We went to Capitol Satay, and yes, the queue was long but the fun + flavor? Totally worth it.

It's super affordable too—around RM1.30 per stick!

🍗 #3 – Nasi Lemak with Crispy Chicken

This is a no-brainer.

I had mine at Village Park in KL and honestly, that crispy fried chicken with fragrant coconut rice, sambal, peanuts, and cucumber? Pure joy.

The chicken was juicy inside and crispy outside. Add that spicy sambal and I was in heaven 😍

A solid meal for around RM11.

🍲 #4 – Lontong in Johor Bahru

This was a surprising favorite.

Lontong is rice cakes in a rich coconut vegetable curry, sometimes with sambal, fried tofu, and a hard-boiled egg.

I had it from a morning market stall in JB and it was so comforting, especially with a hot cup of teh tarik.

Light yet flavorful. About RM6 for a full portion.

🫓 #5 – Roti Canai at a Roadside Mamak

Ah, the classic!

Fluffy yet crispy roti, served with dhal or curry. I like mine with a side of sambal or even a soft-boiled egg.

The best one I had? From a random stall near Petaling Jaya that only opens at night. Super chill vibes.

It was only RM1.50 per piece. Add a teh tarik and you're golden.
