Some pictures of the shopping district at Bukit Bintang, Sungai Wang Plaza, 金河广场

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Sungai Wang Plaza is one of my favourite shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur!! Never miss this place whenever i go to Kuala Lumpur!! This mall is the most popular shopping center among the locals, especially those youngsters and hip-hop ones. The nearest Monorail station is ‘Bukit Bintang’.

For this 1 day shopping trip, we did not spent time at Time Square and Lot 10 this time as we were too tired by the time we finished the last floor of Sungai Wang. We bought like $300 worth of cloths!

Here are some pictures of the place we took around Bukit Bintang.

Eat till you drop around Bukit Bintang at Jalan Alor, a food paradise in Kuala lumpur

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Jalan Alor is one of the MUST go area to grab good local food in KL!! Hey, everywhere we recommend in this blog is must go.. hehe. Jalan Alor is a short walk away from those shopping malls in Bukit Bintang.  It is a normal street in the day time but it becomes a food paradise when the sun sets. All the food stalls are park all along the street and table and chairs are arranged nicely along the street.

You might be scare away by those hawkers when they try to persuade you to stop and eat their stalls. Some workers’ attitude might not be nice so you can just point your ?? finger at them or smile and walk away. Basically the menus of the foods stalls in that particular shop are on a same food menu. You can simply order the food from their ‘waiter’ base on the menu and they will help you to order whatever food from those stalls accordingly. No service charge required! hehe..

You can stay at Nova Hotel in Jalan Alor, Kuala Lumpur of Malaysia

Monday, December 28th, 2009

We stayed at Nova hotel at about RM170 per night. We realized that actually you can just walk in the hotel and bargain for a lower rate (provided there is available room on that day). We get to know that another tenant stay at Nova hotel with RM120 per night only!

Anyway, this hotel is pretty clean, nice and good location. Spacious room with King size bed!!(Can fit in 3 person!!) Breakfast are provided but so so only. It is located at the end of Jalan Alor where you able to find nice local foods at night/mid-night. and it’s only 5-10 min walk along to Bintang Walk. All the popular shopping malls like Pavillion, Sg Wang, BB Plaza, Lot 10, Low Yat are around that area. Beside shopping centers, pubs and massage centers are easily found from there too!

Before we book this hotel, we heard some bad review about this hotel, saying that there are some indecent people around that area given a bad impression of that hotel. But we never see any, and never feel uneasy with this hotel surrounding. Maybe because we were asleep by the time of the havoc hours.

Overall for the price we are paying, everything is good, a decent hotel for travelers to stay!!

Nova hotel at Jalan Alor. There is basement carpark for tenants to park for free!!

Nice food in Malaysia – famous chilli pan mee in KL, Kin Kin Restaurant (建記辣椒板麵)

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Have you heard about the Famous Kin Kin Dry chili pan mee in KL?

It is quite special with the thick round noodles with top of ikan bilis and minced pork plus a half-cooked egg!!! and a super nice meatball soup!!!(Saliva drooling);p The claim of fame for Kin Kin Pan Mee is the chili paste. You are free to add as much as you can endure with the noodle.

Kin Kin Restaurant is located along off Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman near Chow Kit. It is actually opposite the Tunes Hotel and nearby the Sogo.

Something to take note is, the bosses are not that friendly.. You might hearing them shouting at each other or scolding people in the shop. Their attitude and service are terribly bad!!

Be prepared for the long Q and sharing table with strangers! hehe..^_^
