#winhkflight 📍Ali, Muthu Dan Ah Hock @ Jalan Balai Polis 13, Jalan Balai Polis, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur Ali Muthu Dan Ah Hock is a well known restaurant selling authentic local breakfast like nasi lemak, mee siam and more! Visited this outlet near Petaling Street for breakfast and it was a decent experience. The store wasn’t crowded during our visit, food and drinks were served pretty quickly. The store is cozy and comfortable, it is decorated in old school and retro ways, with tiled floors, wooden chairs and marble tables. The restaurant is clean and is equipped with air conditioners, it’s quite airy in store. Food was decent and the portions were alright. I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

📍62&64, Jalan Tun Perak, City Centre, 50500 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur ⏰ 8:00 - 22:00 I like cafes, so I was looking for a new place and stumbled upon this KL cafe with a really pretty interior. When you enter, the staff will guide you, but the atmosphere is a bit chaotic, so there is a waiting period. There are not many people, and the overall atmosphere of the cafe is good. The seats on the 1st and 2nd floors are separated, and there is a separate staff member on the 2nd floor. (Personally, the 1st floor seats are prettier than the 2nd floor, but the tables are small.) There are many kinds of desserts, and the taste is not bad, and they are generally okay, so you should not have trouble choosing a menu. #IndoorDate #KualaLumpur #CafeRecommendation #GourmetExploration #Couples #Cafe #DateCourse #CityTravel

Had an amazing trip in Kuala Lumpur! definitely recommend visiting to see the sights. Amazing nightlife; we visited Rooftop bars; Envi and Vertigo; as well as China Town. Petronas Tower at night is a must see. We also visited Batu Caves and Kanching Waterfall; wear comfortable shoes; and walked with a raincoat or umbrella as it might rain but a definite must see!#newyearadventure #petronastower #tripblazers

#meetkualalumpur Have you ever seen a milestones of a town marked "0 km"? That's represent the kilometres zero of that town. If you travelled to different cities worldwide you will be able to see this kind of milestone as well. Here in Kuala Lumpur, the 0 km mark can be found on Dataran Merdeka ( Independence square) To be precise it is near to the flagpole of Malaysian Flag. If you are planning to visit KL soon, a visit to this kilometres zero will be a great idea.

Pet shop and cat cafe on the 4th floor of LaLaport, Kuala Lumpur. Named Coo and Riku. The cat cafe space is 30 ringgits for the first 30 minutes, and 6 ringgits for every additional 10 minutes. A one-day pass is 70 ringgits. You can relax and play with the cats inside. The Wi-Fi is also good, so you can work there too. The cats are well looked after and the environment is clean. The view is nice as it is adjacent to the rooftop terrace of LaLaport.

Book for lunch and head down for a nice view KL dining area with great view and affordable set meal with drink. Lots of people even on weekday! But worth to be there for great skyline photo

Kota Raya Complex is an old shopping complex that has been around for some time. For one who is looking for cheap deals especially like clothings, food items like Maggi noodles, drinks and such should head to kota raya mall to get cheap bargains and deals. Kota Raya Complex is known also for haggling, if you buy items in bulk you are able to haggle for a lower price from the vendors including food items. But do be wary of shops like phone shops and such, if you do want to do some repair for your phone it be better to have a local with you so as not to be cheated. But in general apart from phones and electronics, getting food items, accessories and apparel should be okay! #passionpassport #malls #bargains #cheapdeals #shopping #kualalumpur #kl #malaysia #wholesale

The weekend come and missing some good place in Malaysia that serve Southeast Asian Cuisine. Malay food is strong, spicy and aromatic, combining the rich tastes of the many herbs and spices commonly found in Southeast Asia. It is one of three major cuisines in Malaysia, and together with Chinese and Indian food, continually delight visitors to the country with its incredible variety and flavors. Coconut is another favorite ingredient of the Malays. This is not surprising as coconut trees thrive in Malaysia’s tropical weather. Coconut milk, or santan, add a creamy richness to this Curry Laksa and Nasi Lemak.

My journey began at the glittering Pavilion Mall and concluded at the serene Thean Hou Temple, offering a striking balance of indulgence and introspection. Here’s a glimpse into the experience. Pavilion Mall: Luxury Unleashed It is located in the heart of Bukit Bintang, Pavilion Mall is a paradise for shoppers and urban explorers. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of polished glamour. Thean Hou Temple: A Sanctuary in the Sky Just a 15-minute drive from the mall, the Thean Hou Temple perched on Robson Hill felt worlds away. Tips to take a photo : Don't take photo at gate door, but you can take a lift or a ekscalator to three floor to take whole decoration picture. Do’s ✅ -Light incense respectfully: Follow devotees’ lead—three bows, then place sticks in the burner. -Avoid weekends if possible: Crowds peak on Saturdays/Sundays—visit on weekdays for a calmer experience. -Don't ⚔️ Don’t touch statues/altars: These are sacred objects—admire from a distance. #vacation #nationalholiday #Malaysia trip #aprilblooms #malaysia

There’s something magical about Kuala Lumpur at night — and trust me, KLCC is where all the sparkle happens! As soon as the sun sets, the whole city flips a switch and turns into a glittery wonderland. I strolled out, iced latte in hand, and WOW — the Petronas Twin Towers were literally glowing like two giant diamonds against the deep blue sky. (You bet I took like... fifty photos trying to catch that perfect sparkle moment!) The fountains at KLCC Park start their little water show, and it’s honestly the cutest thing — imagine little dancing fountains under a sky full of twinkling towers! People were chilling, couples were snapping selfies, and the vibe was just so happy and alive. Not far away, the PNB 118 Tower stood tall and mysterious, lit up in soft colors like a futuristic beacon. It’s seriously giving sci-fi queen energy at night! The way it glows over the city? Totally next-level iconic. And the best part? Everything feels safe, lively, and totally walkable at night. You can grab street food nearby (satay, anyone?), vibe to some music from buskers, or just sit on a bench and soak in all that gorgeous nighttime city magic. KL at night, especially around KLCC and PNB Tower, is like stepping into a glittery dream you never want to wake up from. City girl hearts, prepare to be stolen! #Klcc #Kltwintower #kuala_lumpur

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Pusat Bandaraya area or Kuala Lumpur's old town is a place that combines the charm of the past and modernity. Take a stroll and admire the colonial-style buildings along the river, small coffee shops with strong flavors, and put coins in the old tram to visit the beautiful Taman KLCC garden. The sunset is very beautiful in the evening. The street food is full of spicy flavors, both mortar Boro and Chinese-Malay dim sum. If you want to stop by to buy local T-shirts or souvenirs, there are many shops. Graffiti art in the small alleys adds color. If you come early in the morning, you will get a quiet atmosphere before the crowd starts to get lively. Those who like taking pictures will definitely get a retro feel mixed with street art.

#aprilblooms Stepping into Asmar Jeruk feels like walking through a vibrant spice souk, where every corner is filled with the bold and aromatic scents of Malaysia’s finest pickles and spices. The air is rich with the essence of tangy, sweet, and fiery flavors, inviting you to explore its eclectic offerings. Each jar holds a burst of flavor, and every bite takes you deeper into a sensory adventure. It’s not just a shop, it’s a journey through Malaysia’s love for spice and tradition.

○Petronas Twin Towers I visited in the evening because I wanted to see the exterior during the day and the fountain show at night. It's attached to a shopping mall so you can kill time, and there are plenty of benches so you can relax. The fountain show is held several times a day from 8pm. It's a 10-15 minute walk from KLCC station. It was night, but the temperature was not cold and it was comfortable. There were many people so I was able to sightsee without worry. ○Saroma Link Bridge The night illumination is a must-see. It's within walking distance of the Petronas Twin Towers, so it's a night view spot where you can take collaborative photos. It's also lit up with the Malaysian flag pattern, so it's a must-see. #PetronasTwinTowers #KualaLumpur #Malaysia #KualaLumpurNightView #TwinTowers #MalaysiaNightView #KLCCStation #klsentral
