Valentine Roti Restaurant
Valentine Roti is an Indian restaurant located just outside the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The standout dish here, and the one most commonly chosen by diners, is the tuna and roti.
Roast Duck at Sze Ngan Chye
Sze Ngan Chye is located on Petaling Street – the main road of Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown – and is famous for its salt-marinated roast duck with a secret recipe. The duck here is incredibly tender and flavorful, with crispy skin that absorbs the seasoning perfectly. You can buy a whole duck or half a duck, and if needed, the vendor will cut it into easy-to-eat pieces. If you're planning to visit, be sure to come early, as the ducks can sell out within two hours.
In addition to roast duck, you can also try the interesting duck feet dish. The feet and liver are wrapped in duck intestines and cooked in a rich, sweet sauce.
While you're at Petaling to grab some roast duck, take the opportunity to explore Chinatown, with its rich cultural heritage and unique features.
