Malaysia Local Guides visit Kampung Baru in Kuala Lumpur.
It was another very meaningful meet up on the 11th of August 2018. A few members of the Malaysia Local Guides explore team organized a walking tour of the Kampung Baru area in the heart of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Kampung Baru which is loosely translated as “new village” is the traditional original Malay ethnic and cultural enclave and it’s located right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Even so, many of us in the group have yet to set foot in the area, so it was truly meaningful for many of us who participated to visit the center of Malay culture for our very first time.

One of our main objective was to try the famous traditional Nasi Lemak in Kampung Baru.
We visited 3 of the main Nasi Lemak joints in Kampung Baru and sampled the Nasi Lemak there. There is business rivalry between them. We got to decide which we like best.
