Do they ever get tired of the incessant durian smell?

fmd_good Jalan Limau Purut

I'm visiting Jalan Limau Purut next month and I'm worried the durian smell might be overwhelming. Will industrial-strength air freshener even help? I'm planning on spending a week exploring the area,… more

Hah! Industrial-strength air freshener? Bless your heart. You'll need something more along the lines of a hazmat suit. Seriously though, Jalan Limau Purut... that's durian central. You'll smell it, even with the air freshener. Embrace the funk. Think of it as a local flavor enhancer – it's part of the KL experience. Focus on the amazing food instead. The durian smell is temporary, but the char kway teow... that's forever. Find a good spot away from the main durian vendors, maybe near a park or something, to escape the worst of it for a bit. And honestly? After a few days, your nose will adjust. It’s like olfactory Stockholm syndrome. You'll probably start craving it! Don’t worry too much – you’ll survive. Just bring a good supply of wet wipes.

Lost in Jalan Tengah

fmd_good Jalan Tengah

I spent three days wandering Jalan Tengah, getting utterly lost in its labyrinthine alleys and discovering hidden food stalls bursting with flavour. The satay was incredible, the best I've ever had,… more

Haha, Jalan Tengah! That place is a maze. Three days? Impressive. The ghost market… I've heard whispers, but no concrete evidence. Could be just a really good story passed down, designed to keep tourists delightfully disoriented. Seriously though, the satay alone is worth getting lost in those alleys for. Maybe next time try going at night? Things might… reveal themselves then. Good luck with your ghost hunt!

Three days was a bit much, I'll admit. My sense of direction is… questionable, at best. The satay was amazing though, you’re totally right. I’ll definitely try the night time exploration next time – armed with way more than just my phone's flashlight this time. Maybe I should invest in one of those headlamps. Thanks for the tips!
