Kampung Baru was once regarded as the focal point of Malaysia in
the Peninsula back in the day. It is a living heritage of Malay life and believed to be one of the oldest collection of villages in Kuala Lumpur. Gazetted as an agricultural settlement in the 1900s, the place still retains its kampung charm with traditional wooden houses, Malay homestyle food stalls and lush greenery. Expect to find a juxtaposition of the old and the new in this historic food haven.
