Bite Into the Buzz with Malaysia’s Top 15 Food Trucks on the Move!
One night after a late movie, I caught a whiff of something smoky and savoury drifting through a nearby park. I followed the scent until I found a busy food truck corner, headlights glowing, grills sizzling, and people laughing over paper trays of pure comfort.
That spontaneous stop turned into a full-blown obsession with tracking down Malaysia’s food trucks. From burgers stacked sky-high in KL to Penang’s wok-fried magic and Johor Bahru’s bold fusion bites, each truck brought its own flavour, flair, and fans.
Some park near busy night markets, others cruise around the cult followings on social media—but all serve up meals worth chasing down. So, if you’re ready to bite into buzz, here are Malaysia’s top food trucks on the move, dishing out street food with serious style.
Quickie Food Truck

Address: 20A, Jalan Telawi, Bangsar, 59100 Wilayah Persekutuan
Contact details: +601136042016
Operating hours:
- Tuesday to Sunday – 6 AM to 1 AM
Cost: $
Quickie Food Truck has been rolling out serious flavour bombs since 2016, and their curry spaghetti still lingers in our heads. If you’re into wild fusions like nasi lemak goreng with ayam peri-peri, this one’s a no-brainer.
You’ll find the truck parked at Uptown Avenue when the sun dips—casual crowd, vintage setup, and affordable eats. Prices hover around RM10 to RM20, depending on your combo, and service is impressively fast for a food truck.
What sets Quickie apart is its gutsy menu that mashes up Malaysian staples with Western comfort food. They’ve got vegetarian options like the veggie burger that delivers on flavour.
| Pro tip: Ask them about their off-menu specials or seasonal items. They occasionally roll out experimental dishes for a limited time, and some of them are hits you won’t want to miss. |

Contact details: +601111416674
Operating hours:
- Monday to Saturday – 6 to 10 PM
Cost: $$
Sundaydo isn’t your average food truck—it’s more like your weekend comfort zone, packed with all the hits from kacang phool to cheesy wedges. If you’ve never had kacang phool before, this is where you should try it—rich, savoury, and topped with a sunny-side-up egg that seals the deal.
The mix of Cubanos, nasi lemak, tacos, and char kuey teow gives you a wide range of flavours without overwhelming you. Prices are fair, and there’s usually a relaxed, casual crowd that makes the whole thing feel more like a neighbourhood hangout.
What sets them apart? It’s the balance of local and Western favourites done with consistency. Plus, the team is warm and fast—your food hits your hands while it’s still sizzling.
| Pro tip: Skip the bottled drinks and get the fresh mango juice or any of their seasonal blends—they’re made fresh and way better value than what you’d get elsewhere. |

Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 6 to 3:30 PM
Cost: $$
If you’re into late-night munchies, this is one of the best lok lok spots you’ll find around Petaling Jaya. It’s all about the skewers here—boiled, fried, or dunked in hot soup—and the homemade sauces seal the deal.
The variety is solid, with everything from meats to veggies, and you get to choose your cooking method and pair it with satay, chilli, or black sauce. It’s open till 3:30 AM, which is great when the rest of the town’s asleep but your cravings aren’t.
Good Taste Delight Lok Lok Food Truck is run by one friendly uncle who somehow manages to cook, serve, and chat with everyone like he’s known them for years. The vibe is casual, the system’s easy (priced by stick colour), and the location, right next to a petrol station in SS2, is very convenient.
| Pro tip: Go for the fried skewers and ask for a mix of the satay and spicy chilli sauce. That combo hits different and gives a proper street food punch. |

- Sunday – 7:30 PM to 1 AM

If you’re serious about skewers, you’ve got to try the masala chicken at S&J Golden Wheels Lol-Lok. It’s juicy, perfectly spiced, and honestly, one of the best street-side bites you’ll get in Brickfields.
The setup is simple—grab a stick, choose how you want it cooked, and go wild with their range of five sauces. From homemade chilli to a surprisingly addictive masala dip, each one packs a different kick.
Prices are reasonable and the vibe is friendly, with music playing and regulars chatting up the staff. Just know that seats are limited, so you might end up standing—but the food makes it worth it.
| Pro tip: Skip the basics and go straight for the pork liver and masala chicken skewers, then mix the spicy and sweet sauces for a DIY combo that works. |

If you’re after something spicy, messy, and satisfying, Satti Sorru @ Kasipillay is where you want to be. Their sizzling-style satti sorru hits the spot—especially the mutton and chicken versions.
The fusion here is legit: claypot rice served hot on a sizzling plate, loaded with bold Indian spices and tender meats. You’ll also find vegetarian options if you’re skipping the meat, and the portions won’t leave you hungry.
You’ll feel right at home with the staff, who are warm and fast with service. Prices are friendly, the food’s served hot, and the vibe is straight-up Sentul comfort with a kick.
| Pro tip: Ask for the fried egg add-on—it crisps up beautifully on the sizzling plate and takes your satti soru to another level. |

If you’re into burgers that go a bit beyond the usual roadside fare, Flaming Wheels should be on your radar. Their best-seller? A juicy burger topped with caramelised onions, paired with hot, crispy fries that hold their own.
What makes this truck stand out isn’t just the food—it’s the chef. He’s got jokes, personality, and knows how to grill a mean patty. Prices are decent, portions are solid, and everything’s made fresh while you wait.
Whether you grab your meal on a lunch break or during a late-night hunger run, you’ll find the vibe here chill and the food always consistent. Plus, if you’re type to enjoy a bit of cheeky banter with your burger, you’ll fit right in.

Operating hours:
- Tuesday to Sunday – 6 PM to 12 AM
Cost: $$
You’ll find Jobox parked with a loyal crowd around it almost every night—and once you’ve tried the taco loco or ayam kekek, you’ll know why. Their carbonara seafood pasta is also a sleeper hit, rich but not too heavy, and packed with flavour.
The truck pulls off an impressive mix of local favourites and Western comfort food. Whether it’s masak lemak cili api or burgers and chicken chops, you’re sorted. Prices are decent, and the staff are fast and friendly—great if you’re in the mood to wait.
This is one of those spots where it’s hard to order just one thing, so come hungry or bring a friend. It’s casual, consistent, and hits the mark whether you’re after a spicy meal or something cheesy.
| Pro tip: The drink selection here often gets overlooked—grab one of their fruity blended drinks to cool off, especially if you’re going to the chilli-loaded dishes! |

Kaloori is here to satisfy your cravings, and its location feels like a community hangout. If you’re heading there, the kway teow kerang loaded with cockles is a must—it’s spicy, messy, and satisfying.
There’s something for everyone here. Whether you’re into beef kway teow, pan-grilled chicken chop, or ikan bakar, you’ll find a stall doing it right.
Prices are friendly, portions are decent, and it’s easy to chill with friends while waiting for your order. With live buskers on weekends and lots of parking, it’s a laid-back evening and you won’t have to dress up—just come hungry and ready to explore.

Contact details: +601156777975
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 4 PM to 12 AM
Cost: $
If you’re lucky enough to spot Da Mang Ren on the road, don’t hesitate. This mango smoothie truck is a rare find, and its signature ice-blended mango drinks hit just right—creamy, thick, and made with zero added sugar.
It’s basically mango in its purest form, and you can tell from the first sip. There’s a solid variety too—so if you’re the kind who likes choices, you won’t be bored, for some are topped with whipped cream, others mixed with coconut or sago for texture.
Prices are reasonable, and the truck is always clean and presentable, with friendly staff who don’t rush you even if there’s a queue. If you’re sweating under the Malaysian sun, don’t worry because once you have your order, your smoothie will make you feel icy-cold!
| Pro tip: Ask for a no-ice version if you want the full mango flavour without it being watered down. It’ll cost a bit more but it’s totally worth it for that thick, sorbet-like texture. |
Masala Wheels
– Media credit: masalawheelsrva
Address: 4, Jalan 1/3, Seksyen 1, 46000 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Contact details: +60128850409
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 11:30 AM to 4 PM
Cost: $$
You’re getting the real deal here—Masala Wheels dishes out Indian street food that doesn’t mess around. Their banana leaf set is hands-down the star, especially if you’re into bold spices, rich curries, and perfectly fluffy rice.
Don’t miss out on the mutton varuval or chicken 65—they both come packed with flavour and pair beautifully with the crispy papadum and tangy rasam. Prices are fair for the quality, and the team here takes pride in how they serve you.
The best part? They only operate during lunch to keep their quality tight, so plan your visit accordingly.
| Pro tip: If you see crab rasam on the day’s menu, don’t skip it. It’s not a daily item and adds a nice spicy sour kick you won’t forget. |
Chief Eating Officer

Contact details: +60199995353
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 11 AM to 2:30 PM | 6 to 11:30 PM
Cost: $
If you’re the type who treats sandwiches as serious business, you’ll feel right at home with Chief Eating Officer. Their cheese beef toast is a bestseller—loaded, melty, and built to satisfy.
You’ll also want to try their tower burger, which lives up to the name in both size and flavour. The portions here don’t hold back, but what stands out is the consistency.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or coming back for the third night in a row, the quality stays solid. Plus, the owner always makes the extra effort to chat with customers, which makes the experience feel more personal.
| Pro tip: Ask for their off-menu toasties. They’ll sometimes whip up special combos for regulars or anyone who asks nicely. |
BraderPit
– Media credit: braderpit_foodtruck
Address: Jalan SS 6/3, Ss 6, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Contact details: +60132815110
Operating hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 12:30 to 2:30 PM | 5 to 10:30 PM
- Friday, Sunday – 5 to 10:30 PM
Cost: $$
If kebabs are your weakness, BraderPit is probably about to ruin your usual go-to. Their wraps are stuffed to the brim, and the sauces are what make the flavours hit.
The mango kebab is surprisingly good because it’s sweet and savoury, and not something you’ll find just anywhere. You can also switch things up with pita instead of the regular wrap if you’re after something lighter.
The bread is toasted just right, giving it that crispy edge that holds up well to all the filling. Prices are fair and the owner seems to care a lot about keeping quality consistent.
| Pro tip: Skip the queue and WhatsApp your order ahead. Locals do this often, especially during dinner hours when it gets packed. |
Cowboys Barbecue & Grill
– Media credit: cowboysbarbecuengrill
Address: BUSINESS CENTRE, 5, Jalan PJU 1A/42 ARA PERMATA, Ara Damansara, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Contact details: +601156204093
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 12 to 10 PM
- Saturday to Sunday – 11 AM to 10 PM
Cost: $$
Cowboys Barbecue & Grill should be high on your hit list if you’re after legit smoked meat in Kuala Lumpur. The brisket and pulled lamb are done low and slow, and you’ll notice the difference immediately—tender, juicy, no sauce needed.
Their Yellowstone sharing platter gives you a solid intro if you’re indecisive. What sets Cowboys apart is how they nail both flavour and texture with every single cut.
Slides like baked beans and potato salad hold their own, and surprisingly, the garlic parmesan chicken keeps stealing the spotlight for the regulars. Service is quick, and if something’s off, they fix it with no fuss.
| Pro tip: Their smoked ribs sell out fast, especially on weekends. Drop them a message earlier in the day to reserve yours before making the trip. |
Rojak & Cendol Aliff Van
– Media credit: foodiverofficial
Address: Jalan Desa Utama, Taman Desa, 58100 Kuala Lumpur
Contact details: +60182589786
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 12 to 5:30 PM
Cost: $
If you’re into proper Malaysian street eats, this is one of those spots that delivers. The rojak here is the Indian-style pasembur, stacked with crispy bits, beancurd, cucumber, and topped with thick, nutty kuah kacang that doesn’t skimp on flavour or volume.
For a very affordable price, you’ll walk away full and satisfied. The cendol is no less of a crowd-pleaser—cool, creamy, and super refreshing with options like pulut for that extra bite.
Eating by the roadside adds to the whole experience, and there’s a shaded area so you’re not roasting in the midday sun. Service is snappy, and even when it’s packed, they keep things moving.
| Pro tip: Ask for the extra kuah kacang on the side. Some locals swear it’s even better when you dip your own way through each bite. |
Breakfast Buddy Malaysia
– Media credit: breakfastbuddymalaysia
Address: 39, Jalan SS 21/37, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

You’ll want to hit Breakfast Buddy Malaysia early if breakfast is your favourite meal of the day. From toasted sandwiches stacked with fresh lettuce and eggs to hearty wraps and croissant sets, it’s all freshly made and fairly priced.
What stands out here is how clean and light the food feels. Nothing greasy, just proper satisfying portions.
The team is warm and always cheerful, which adds a nice start to your morning routine.
| Pro tip: Their homemade sauce makes the toast ham sandwich a standout. Skip the cheese version and go for the sauce-heavy one instead for that extra kick. |
