[2025 Kuala Lumpur Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for 1 Mont Kiara (Updated Jul)

I stayed in an area called Mont Kiara for one of my two nights in Malaysia, and it was a really good choice. How to get there: You can take the bus or subway, but it takes about 2 hours. I recommend using Grab, and it costs about 70 ringgit or 20,000 won. ^^ Mont Kiara is an area where many Koreans live. There are also many shopping malls here. The reason is that there is a very good infrastructure for Koreans to live there, and there are many shopping malls that you can't miss when you think of Malaysia. Among those shopping malls, 163 Mall and One Mall are representative malls in Mont Kiara. As you can see in the picture, there is a mart in the basement like in Korea, and various shopping malls and restaurants are all located in one building, so it was a very convenient area in terms of entertainment and many other things. The interior of the building was also nicely decorated, which was nice. #Mont Kiara #Malaysia #One Mall #163 Mall

#SummerIwaSummer ❣️Location: 3A, 2, Jalan Solaris 3, Mont Kiara, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur I came to Mont Kiara because I missed Korean food. There are many Koreans and Japanese living in Mont Kiara because there are international schools. When you come, there are many Korean marts, Korean restaurants, and bars. ㅎㅎ I wanted to eat soy sauce marinated crab for the first time in a long time, so I ate soy sauce marinated crab! The crab is from Malaysia, so it is blue crab. It's not bad ^^ If you miss marinated crab, go there! #Malaysia #MalaysiaTravel #OverseasTravel #KL #MontKiara #KoreanTown #MalaysianRestaurant #SummerCapture #SoySauceMarinatedCrab

#kualalumpurguide Tucked quietly at Plaza Mont Kiara, Jinjin Soora serves up authentic Korean cuisine in a cozy setting that instantly brings comfort. I loved how the outdoor seating area gave me a calm vibe — great for a chill dinner or a casual hangout. The plants and warm lighting made it feel like a mini escape from the city rush. Their banchan (side dishes) were so satisfying — everything from kimchi to fresh veggie sides was seasoned perfectly. The staff were attentive, and the tea was refillable and soothing. If you’re into Korean home-style meals, this spot is a must-try!

#kualalumpurtrip Tucked away quietly near HSBC, this little café gave me Seoul street café vibes the moment I spotted the handwritten espresso chart on the wall. Every detail — the spiral staircase, the narrow wooden counter, the tall tables — reminded me of that hole-in-the-wall charm you find in Korean dramas. The barista was friendly and made my drink with care. I sat outside under the covered walkway, sipping and people-watching. Even in KL’s heat, the iced espresso cooled my soul — rich and smooth with a creamy finish. A great pit stop during a city stroll!
