[2025 Kuala Lumpur Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for The Exchange TRX (Updated Jun)

#kualalumpurguide Tucker & Co. is located in the TRX Exchange Mall and it is renovated in a way that attracts many people to stop by and take a look. They offer quite a limited food option and majority are meat based. Would strongly recommend any meat lover to come and try. Not to mention, they also sell their own-made bottled food displayed at their shelf. Will definitely visit again!

Whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, here are some handy travel tips to make the most of your experience, especially around the city’s iconic towers and parks. ⸻ 1. KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) • What to See: Petronas Twin Towers (tallest twin towers in the world), Suria KLCC mall, KLCC Park, and the Symphony Lake fountains. • Travel Tip: Visit the Petronas Towers in the late afternoon and stay until nightfall to catch the fountain light show (usually around 8pm). The view from the Skybridge is worth booking in advance. • Photography Tip: For the best photos, head to the KLCC Park area — you’ll get wide shots with palm trees in the frame and fewer crowds early in the morning. ⸻ 2. TRX Exchange 106 • What to See: One of the tallest buildings in Southeast Asia, Exchange 106 is the centerpiece of the new financial district — The Exchange TRX. • Travel Tip: Visit The Exchange TRX Mall for upscale shopping and dining, and explore the rooftop park known as The Exchange TRX Park — it offers fantastic skyline views with KLCC and TRX in the frame. • Best Time: Sunset or twilight for golden hour shots with KL’s skyline glowing in the background. ⸻ 3. KL Tower (Menara Kuala Lumpur) • What to See: Observation deck, Sky Deck, and the revolving Atmosphere 360 restaurant. • Travel Tip: Go for the Sky Deck instead of the indoor viewing platform — the open-air views are unbeatable. On clear days, you’ll even catch a glimpse of the distant Genting Highlands. • Fun Fact: It’s actually taller than Petronas Towers in terms of elevation since it’s built on a hill (Bukit Nanas). ⸻ 4. Merdeka 118 (Viewpoint Only) • What to See: Currently not fully open to the public, but this architectural marvel — the second tallest building in the world — dominates KL’s skyline. • Viewpoint Tip: The best views of Merdeka 118 can be seen from Pudu Ulu Park or even certain angles in the Kampung Attap or Jalan Loke Yew areas. • Photography Tip: Use a zoom lens or drone (if permitted) for architectural shots — the diamond-shaped spire stands out beautifully during sunrise. ⸻ 5. Pudu Ulu Park (Taman Rekreasi Pudu Ulu) • What to See: A serene urban park with jogging tracks, shaded trees, and a local vibe — less touristy, perfect for an early morning walk or jog. • Hidden Gem: This is one of the best off-the-beaten-path spots to view Merdeka 118 from afar, especially around sunrise or golden hour.

A new and popular mall in Kuala Lumpur! I went on a food tour of TRX, so I'd like to introduce some recommended shops! [ChaTraMue - The Exchange TRX] A popular Thai tea shop has come to Malaysia! Instead of their famous Thai milk tea, I ordered lemon tea with 30% sweetness. The tea itself is quite strong and bitter, so it's a little hard to drink, but it tasted the same as in Thailand. I still recommend the Thai milk tea! I would be even happier if they offered soft serve ice cream like in Thai stores! [NakNak] I tried the gochujang chicken and rice. The meat was too oily in some places, and the sauce was too sweet. It was sweet like ketchup, so I got tired of eating it all the time. The rice was also just okay, and didn't go well with the gochujang chicken. To be honest, it might not suit Japanese tastes. I hope they make various improvements and grow even more in the future. [Ben's Cookies - The Exchange TRX] A cookie shop from the UK that has arrived in Malaysia for the first time! They sell a wide variety of cookies in the same size as the real thing. I had to line up for a bit, but I was able to buy them right away. I bought matcha white chocolate and cranberry white chocolate. As expected, the taste was delicious, and I highly recommend it to people who like soft cookies! The cans are cute, so please try them. [108 Matcha Saro - The Exchange TRX] A store specializing in matcha and roasted green tea sweets. There is also an eat-in space. I tried the 108 Matcha LOVE Parfait, and it was a parfait full of matcha, including warabi mochi, matcha jelly, matcha ice cream, and matcha sauce. I think it was a bit expensive, but it was filling and overall a good sweet experience. The matcha obanyaki baked by the staff in front of the store also looked delicious. Please enjoy eating your way around the new mall🫶 #Overseas Travel Strategy

#myhiddengems The word “Wagyu” originates from Japanese words, “Wa” meaning “Japanese” and “gyu” meaning “cow.” This Japanese delicacy goes way back to the Yayoi period (300 B.C.-A.D. 250), when cattles were newly introduced to Japan from mainland Asia.

Ordered a cup of hot latte with their single origin coffee bean, it gives a full bodied nutty profile and surprisingly goes very well with the froth milk, balance out the heavy profile and not letting the coffee overpowering the whole cup of latte. Will definitely pay another visit for their pastry!

You can get some big cafe name here like VCR and Kenny Hill Bakers The roof top park is the game changer for the mall. Can't wait for the Apple Store to open . A newly open premise of mall and looks very elegent and expensive. Newly open in November 2023, it smells new and here and here and there, also got people taking pictures including me. And its also festival upcoming on December. Plenty of tourist also comes here using mrt and surely more new premises will be open soon Easy access with 2 MRT lines directly link to the mall. Despite this, the shopping and entertainment options make it a five-star destination for those seeking a premium retail experience.

In 2024, I wish to travel to Perth, Australia!
