Full Day of Eating in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ

I found a restaurant that sells it, packaged to takeaway, but was able to eat it at one of their outdoor tables.
The Nasi Lemak is rice that's been cooked with pandan and coconut milk, with all those flavours soaked right into the rice. It's served with anchovies, peanuts, egg and a spicy sambal sauce.
It was incredibly tasty but ridiculously spicy, especially for me first meal of the day.
After visiting the KLCC urban park in the centre of KL for a bit of exercise, I returned to my hotel for a well earned siesta.
In the afternoon I took a trip to Chinatown. Petaling Street is a big pedestrianised road hosting a popular market. There is a roof cover over the street, which I really appreciated as it started raining as soon as I arrived.
I was there on a food hunt but there was little on offer on Petaling Street itself. It was mostly clothes and knockoff watches and bags. Still, it was a good opportunity for me to add to my football shirt collection. I successfully bargained for a jersey of the Malaysia Super League champions, Johor.
I was leaving Jalan Petaling to find food and found it right at the end of the street. There was a stall selling pork jerky. I'd tried this type of meat before in Macau and it was very tasty. A lot juicier than the type of jerky you'd buy from the supermarket.
I got the pork bacon version and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was covered in a sweet, tasty glaze. Mmmmmm!
I had asked the vendor how long the meat lasts for and he said 2 weeks, however I finished it in 2 minutes!
The bussin' bacon got my appetite perked up and I continued the food hunt, stumbling upon the Tang City Food Court. It was like one of those "hawker centres" you find in Singapore, where there's many simple street food cart type vendors, but they have stalls inside the centre rather than out on the street.
Seafood dumpling noodle soup seemed like a good choice of Chinese food in Chinatown. The soup and noodles were tasty but nothing special, but I really loved the dumplings, each one stuffed with a seafood meatball.
I went searching for a local Malaysian dessert such as Ais Kacang, but then it started raining. I found the nearest mall on Google Maps and hoped they'd have a food court. But I had no chance of getting local food there because it turned out to be a Filipino Mall, where almost all the shops, restaurants and staff were Filipino.
So instead of Ais Kacang I enjoyed some Pinoy Halo Hallo dessert!
With still enough room in my belly for one last meal, I went on the hunt for Ayam Penyet. It's another famous Malay dish that I hadn't tried yet.
I found a street vendor that was highly rated on Google Maps, but after trekking all the way there the vendor was nowhere to be found. Instead I went to the nearest food street in Bukit Bintang and asked the locals where I could get Ayam Penyet.
I'm not sure the one I tried was fully authentic, as I had heard that "penyet" means they smash up the chicken before cooking it, but they didn't do that. So I will have to try this dish in another restaurant in the future.
