The potpourri is evident in the abundance of food choices, ranging from Asam Pedas Melaka to Laksa Johor, Nasi Dagang Kelantan, Nasi Kandar Penang and other iconic dishes from around the country. Selangor is also known as the ‘Satay State’, for the wide availability of satay, a delicacy of grilled meat on skewers, served with fresh cucumber slices and a tasty peanut sauce.
Getting ThereSelangor is the location of the main entry points to Malaysia. The Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and KLIA 2 are both located in Selangor.

Passengers arriving via the luxury Star Cruises liners disembark at the Pulau Indah Terminal while visitors from Indonesia arrive at the Passenger Cruise Terminal in South Point.

This fort continued to be the focal point of many power struggles before it was eventually destroyed during the Selangor Civil War. Visitors can still see the ruins of its original foundation blocks and cannons, a 100-step stairway, an execution slab and a poisoned well. Tel: 03-3289 1439 / 1549 Website: www.mdks.gov.my
