magnificent views over the entire city
that is very popular among the locals.
Ampang Lookout Point used to be a
proper complex built on the top of the
hill. Unfortunately, it was shut down
in 2012 for safety reasons. Due to great
demand, a
pasar malam
(night market)
type of area was established at the
junction of
Jalan Hulu Langat
and
Jalan
Mulia 2/1
, about 1km downhill from
the closed Lookout Point for people to
hang out and enjoy the view of the city.
The stalls are open every day serving
local food.
Ampang, without a doubt, is a great
place for locals to hang out and for
visitors to experience the Malaysian
urban lifestyle.
Yong Tau Foo
The architecture of Ampang
by hikers to prepare themselves for
bigger climbs like Mount Kinabalu and
Mount Tahan. The steep incline of Bukit
Saga and length of the trail provide a
good platform for practice. There is also
a waterfall spot which is usually packed
with hikers who are taking a break from
their climb to the top.
Hungry Much?
Craving for some local delicacies when
in Ampang? There are plenty of places
to go to satisfy your cravings.
Ampang
Yong Tau Foo
is a dish that is popular
among locals and tourists alike.
Yong Tau
Foo
is a Chinese stuffed
vegetable soup dish with
Hakka origins. Stuffed
eggplant and chilli is must
try to be eaten together
with the soup and other
condiments. There are also
other restaurants and stalls
that sell local and Western
food in Ampang at affordable
prices like Suzi’s Corner. It is a
very well-known spot to hang
out, especially for supper with a
selection of food from
satay
and
roti canai
to fried rice and noodles.
The need to shop is taken care
of at Ampang Point Shopping Mall.
Though it is quite basic compared to the
other newer, bigger malls, Ampang
Point makes up for this by the
interesting retro feel that it has.
Think back to walking into
a shopping mall back in
the nineties and you will
get the idea. There are
supermarkets, a bazaar
on the ground floor and
some eateries within the
compound, including an
authentic Korean food
restaurant on level 2.
