Trying "STINKY TOFU" at KL's Best Night Market 🇲🇾

I asked locals in Kuala Lumpur where was their best night market. Most recommended that I visit Taman Connaught for the Wednesday night market.

It's on the outskirts of the city and doesn't get many tourists, but is incredibly popular with the KL locals. Knowing that it was popular and likely to be busy, I arrived at 6 p.m. thinking that would be early, but the market was already bustling.

What street food to try first? I was looking around when I saw a long queue at one stall. "It must be popular," I thought. A girl in the queue told me it was Stinky Tofu. Stinky? How can that possibly be good. She said I must try it and find out.

I found out that the "Stinky Tofu" lives up to its name!

After getting rid of that nasty food I found a drinks vendor so I could wash the taste out of my mouth. A massive cup of one of my favourite drinks, Milo, did the trick.

I needed something delicious to eat after that, and you can't go wrong with Japanese food, so I enjoyed some tasty Takoyaki (octopus balls) and Tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette) which I washed down with a Japanese matcha green tea.

I also found a delicacy that I haven't eaten since my trip to Penang in 2019. At that time I thought it was fried jackfruit, but it was actually a similar fruit called cempedak. They cover it in a batter and deep-fry it, with the result being a crispy, juicy, sweet treat.

Scotsmen like me find any deep-fried food to be delicious but the Campedak Goreng was particularly tasty!

More fried food was next, as I visited the Mao Mao Ultrachef who fries up food covered in a special salted duck egg batter. I ordered just the fried squid but the friendly owner, Mr. Mao, offered me a sample bag of everything he had available. The fried chicken was awesome.

Fortunately some Bangladeshi subscribers stopped by and helped me eat all the Mao Mao Ultrachef food, so I still had room in my belly to explore for more tasty street food.

The drink I chose next almost made me full though. A big cup of fresh avocado juice. It's not a light drink by any means, so I'll try to remember that in the future. I like to drink light so that I can eat heavy!

I enjoyed two awesome desserts to end my food tour of the night market. One was the Crispy Po Pia which is made up like Peking Duck pancakes but the filling is boiled turnip. Definitely something I've never seen before on my travels, so I had to try it and the price was attractive too at just 3.30 ringgits ($0.75 USD) per portion.

I liked the sweet turnip pancakes and will definitely eat them again if I find them at another market.

My second dessert was "Fried Milk." I had no idea that you could fry milk but somehow this vendor was doing it. I tried to ask him about the ingredients or cooking method but he told me it was a secret.

I expected the fried milk cubes to be made with gelatin or something to give me the solid texture, but when I ate them it was nothing like that. It was all soft, mushy and light. Very tasty too!

I finished the night off with a fresh coconut / sugarcane juice combo and that was me fully satisfied. What a foodie adventure it was, and I barely tried 5% of the food that was available in the market.
