This bazaar is located right in front of Mc Donald’s Bukit Bintang outlet, so you definitely won’t miss it! You’ll be sure to see a crowd, and it will only get more congested in the evening so we recommend getting here by public transport to skip the jam and parking spot hassles. The bazaar is just a few steps away from the Bintang Monorail and MRT station so it will be super convenient if you do opt for public transport. The briyani and nasi lemak are a must try!
Address: Bukit Bintang, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur
RAMADAN BAZAAR TAMAN MELAWATI

With so many choices of food to choose from, you’ll be sure to leave with lots of bags filled with food. The nasi kerabu sold at this bazaar is to die for, so you have got to drop by earlier to avoid a long queue. The stalls here start setting up at 4pm, so there’s plenty of time to browse about.
