While some tourists stick to well-known food streets, Chow kit market completely changes after the day vendors pack up around 10pm, offering a more local late-night experience.

Food stalls serving until 2-3am, fresh seafood grilled right there, prices that make you laugh. Crowd is 90% locals getting dinner after work shifts. Grilled stingray with sambal or claypot chicken rice both around rm12-15.

Not sanitized tourist territory though. Keep your head up and don't flash expensive gear around. Perfect complement to the more touristy night food scenes if you want authentic local atmosphere.
