Jalan Alor Night Market
Jalan Alor Night Market is a bustling food street located in the Bukit Bintang area of Kuala Lumpur, known for its vibrant atmosphere and wide variety of street food.
It stretches about 500 meters and features numerous open-air restaurants, stalls, and eateries offering a mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisine. While it's a popular destination for both tourists and locals, some consider it a tourist trap with higher prices compared to other local night markets or pasar malam.
Vendors typically begin setting up around 5 PM, with the market becoming livelier at sunset and remaining busy into the night. The area is easily accessible on foot from Bukit Bintang MRT station.
The food selection is extensive, with popular dishes including dry chilli chicken, chilli prawns, Penang fried kuey teow, Thai basil chicken, mango sticky rice, and coconut ice cream.

The match between Port FC and Muangthong United took place on March 1, 2026, in the Thai League 1 (Round 23). It was hosted by Muangthong United at Thunderdome Stadium, with kickoff at 7:00 PM.
The game ended in a 0-0 draw.
It was a tightly contested, low-scoring affair with no goals in either half. Port FC extended their unbeaten run against Muangthong United in recent meetings (they hadn’t lost in the last 5 encounters prior, with 4 wins and 1 draw, and this added another draw). Muangthong United, struggling in the standings (around 15th place with a poor record), earned a valuable point at home, while Port FC were held despite their stronger form.
A notable off-field detail: Port FC’s head coach Alexandre Gama was absent due to hospitalization in ICU (serious condition reported), with the club providing support and likely needing an interim replacement.
The run for a top 4 spot continues for port with just over a month remaining in the season. For MT they will need to continue to battle...
