Before you
start your journey, it’s a must that you have a city map and the hotel’s
calling card with you. Just in case you get lost, take a cab and show the
calling card to the driver. You can always ask the hotel's reception for these.
As we walked around Bukit Bintang, we looked for a money changer
first to change a few dollars since the ringgit we had was used to pay for the
hotel. I decided to just change 100USD only since I still have some
ringgit left. By the way, finding a money changer is not a problem in Bukit
Bintang since there were several in the area.
There were so many restaurants to choose from but we already
planned to try Din Tai Fung, a Taiwanese Restaurant, located at the Pavilion
10mins away from Bintang Warisan. Since we stopped at some points to take
pictures and checked out the shops going to the restaurant, it took us almost
an hour to get to the mall.
You may be wondering why we chose a Taiwanese restaurant in Malaysia. Well,
we just love Din Tai Fung and since we don’t have it in the Philippines we
try to visit their branch in every country we go to.
DIN TAI FUNG

Din Tai Fung, an award winning restaurant that originated from Taiwan , is popular for their Xiao Long Bao. They
have branches in some parts of Asia, Australia and United
States . In Malaysia they
have 3 branches, one in Pavilion located at Level 6, The Garden at Mid Valley City and
at the Empire Shopping Gallery in Subang Jaya.

Pork Dumplings)
Spring Roll

Burp! Sorry
hehehe… we paid a total of MYR127.90 so divided by 5 people = MYR25.28 each,
hmmm not bad hehe…
Where to
next?...
Our next
stop is Titiwangsa Lake. We took a cab to go there. Good thing is that
they are
not strict as to how many people are allowed in the
cab so the five of us squeezed in one taxi. Learning that the place is under
renovation, we were discussing on where to go next when the driver handed us a notebook with
pictures of places we can go to around

“Heaven in
your mouth with Beryl’s fine chocolate”
This is one
of the most popular, if not the most popular, chocolate brand in Malaysia .
We included this in our itinerary since one of my friends wanted to visit the
place and buy her favorite truffles. I’m not really into
chocolates, but when I tried their samples, it was sooo good! I wanted to
buy one but it’s expensive for me.
They also
have one shop where you can schedule a tour inside their factory.

ISTANA NEGARA (Kings Palace )
Tourists can
see the Palace from the gate only. This is why most of our pictures
were taken with many extras hehe… We also got a chance to take pictures
with guards dressed in White Malay. We spent only 10-15 mins here.
*****
MERDEKA SQUARE
It was so
hot when we got there so we didn’t stay that long. But, the place
is very relaxing and has a nice view especially the structure in front of it
which is….

Along the
way we saw the Menara Tower or the Kuala Lumpur Tower. This is the
second tallest freestanding tower in the world. We decided not to
go here since we already planned to go up the Petronas Tower. We were ok
just to see it from a far.
Here are the
ticket prices and packages for the Menara Tower
Our last
stop was the….
We were able
to complete the tour as early as 4pm and asked the taxi to drop us off at the
Petronas. We wanted to see it during the day and night.
Wow! Its
structure is amazing. Love the architectural construction of the building
which was designed by Argentine architects under the consultancy of one
Filipino engineer. This was completed in 1998 and became the tallest
building in the world for seven years until it was surpassed by Taipei
101. But, it has remained the tallest twin building in the world.
It has 88 floor and feature a Skybridge between the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest 2-storey bridge in the world.
Finally! Set
my foot inside the Petronas Towers.
Since it was
already late and a signboard was saying sorry for there were no more tickets
available, we just went down to the Concourse Level (Lower ground level)
to check the place.
Tips for
those who want to visit the Skybridge. Be at the Concourse Level as early
as 7am for there are limited tickets issued per day on a first come first serve
basis. There are no advanced or group booking. Expect a long
queue when you get there. The ticket counter opens at 8am and tickets
sell for MYR10 each.
We wanted to
capture the towers while the sun was still up for a daylight shot.
After the
photo shoot, we headed to KLCC Suria located at the base of Petronas
Towers. The mall features signature brands like Hermes, Prada, Louis
Vuitton etc…
KLCC Park is
located at the back of the mall.
At 7pm, the
sun was still up in Kuala Lumpur so we went to Coffee Bean to kill our time
until it gets dark.
Well i must
say it's worth the wait. The night view appealed to me more. I
loved it! I just wanted to sit by the side and stare at the beauty of it
all night.
This is one
amazing thing created by man!
