Morning hawker alley and wet market

Madras Lane Hawkers

Off Jalan Petaling, Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A tucked away alley inside the Petaling Street wet market where stallholders cook chee cheong fun, yong tau foo and curry laksa a few feet from the produce stalls, giving a genuine pre-tourist-hours local breakfast scene rather than a curated food court.

Single report

“The chicken was held by the head and a sharp knife was used to make a quick slit on its throat (graphic live slaughter description)”
