Kuala Lumpur is a city of startling contrasts — the Petronas Twin Towers dominate a skyline that also contains colonial-era railway stations, Moorish domes, Hindu temples, and a thriving Chinatown, all within walking distance. The city's food culture — Nasi Lemak, Char Kway Teow, Roti Canai — is one of the world's great melting pots in a single street. Three hours north by train, Penang is Southeast Asia's undisputed street food capital and home to one of the region's most vivid colonial heritage zones.
