Legend Claws Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hello Heading to KL soon and was wondering if anyone has any tips? Is the shopping as good as everyone says? Any sites not to be missed? Good places to eat? Staying at the Boulevard hotel in Mid Valley looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hello Heading to KL soon and was wondering if anyone has any tips? Is the shopping as good as everyone says? Any sites not to be missed? Good places to eat? Staying at the Boulevard hotel in Mid Valley looks nice. I loved KL. It's a really busy, modern, vibrant city. Lots of great bars and restaurants. Take a trip up the Twin Towers. They only let you go half way up to the sky bridge but the view is amazing. The only downside is that it's pretty polluted and smoggy. You'll see loads of folk with face masks on. Great place though. You'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Weathers Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I'm also heading over for a month on the 19th. Sorry, I've not got any tips though! There are some decent videos on youtube that you might find interesting. Also, if you've not seen it, try http://www.lonelyplanet.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paws (FTH) Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hello Heading to KL soon and was wondering if anyone has any tips? Is the shopping as good as everyone says? Any sites not to be missed? Good places to eat? Staying at the Boulevard hotel in Mid Valley looks nice. I had a stopover there on the way back from Australia last year. As CS says try and get up the twin towers, think its best to get there early and get a ticket as there is a limit to how many people get to go up. The shopping is good, loads of bargains to be found. There is a huge mall at the twin towers building and there are also arts/crafts markets. I loved the food too, and its really cheap, though can't remember the name of any specific places I ate.

coppercrutch Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I liked it too. Skytrain thingy is pretty cool. Towers give a cracking view. Same as the others as far as food. Lots of cracking stuff but cant remember anywhere specific. You will do well to go wrong with food in that part of the World. Tasty If you can travel further I would recommend the Pehrentian Islands further north. Probably the most amazing tropical islands in the World I have been to. Amazing. Have fun. PS - There is a big Man Utd restuarant bar thing that I went to watch the football IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good places to eat? Staying at the Boulevard hotel in Mid Valley looks nice. My brother lived in KL for 7 years, I paid a few vists, so here's the places: Bhatu Caves: An Indian Temple (300 steps) worth the climb Mont Kiera: Ex-pat central: Premiership footie live late nite Night Markets: Cheap 'Replica Shirts' Eastern Hotel 'Entertainment for the western gentleman' - allegedly!!! Shopping Malls, good for electronics, but you need a local to do the haggling! If you have the time, visit Penang At all times wear a 'famous JT' shirt' sadly you will meet the ugly sisters in Malaysia!! Enjoy Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acey Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The only downside is that it's pretty polluted and smoggy. You'll see loads of folk with face masks on. The girl says, "Those are only the mentalists who try to cycle everywhere. Usually middle-aged Chinese women." So...there you go. She also recommends the Batu caves and the "Hoi Peng" seafood restaurant, which, "they'll never find". She says that the best dim sum in the world is found in the Mandarin Oriental hotel, which is next to the Twin Towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 If you have the time, visit Penang I'm heading to KL later in the year for the first time. Taking in the MotoGP race. I've been to Penang though and am in no hurry to head back. It's nice enough in absolute terms, but not a patch on other Asian beach resorts.

Alan_R Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Never been to KL but I have been to Malaysia. Stayed in a small fishing village. From my experience I loved the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
