I rent a taxi to go to the zoo. Very far from KL. But the animals are so interesting. It’s worth you pay a short visit there RM15 for the ticket, RM50 for 3hours taxi rental.
It’s better to change “Amex” in the shopping malls than in the HSBC-Bank.
Since everyone is talking about Indo… In Bali if you plan to surf, don’t rent a board bz the beach. Rent one from a shop a few blocks back. It’s best to rent one for multiple days and travel around with it.
Go to Kuta, Lombok!!! (eat at Ashtari up the hill) Nusa Lembongan has cool break or 3 as well. If you go to either bring cash. In Lombok, start off with “Insides” at Grupuk and work your way up from there. Nusa Lembongan… Shipwreck is great. Mind the current. Both are super quiet and beautiful.
Take a window seat on the right side of the plane (the door side) and you will see Melaka and Singapore form the cloud’s point of view.
If you go to Putrajaya, there is a bus tour trip. they have guide for all trips, stop when you want to take a photo, and, first of all, the price of the trip is only RM1!!! you can find the ticket counter at the downstairs out of the Putra Mosque, ask the security guard in the square, they will tell you how to find this.
If you fancy doing a trip to Bali, go Air Asia from KL. It is really cheap and Bali is amazing. We stayed in a place called “Abian Biue” - just on the outskirts of Kuta. Hire a scooter and travel the island on your own… Check out the touks and then do it yourself! This way you won’t get taken to overpriced restaurants by drivers wanting petrol tokens. Plus always carry your international drivers license & Bike papers. But don’t woory too much if you forget coz you can bribe the police (50,000 Indonesian Rupiah, about 2.50 Pounds) - mid month they are always looking to make some extra cash! “Happy travelling”
FRIM (Forestry Resarch Institute of Malaysia) is great way to spend an afternoon. If you want to do the Canopy Walk (recommended) it closes at 2:30pm. Take an extra T-shirt and lots of water. RM5 to get in and RM5 to do canopy walk. You can get off at Kepong KTM station if taking train. Happy Travels
Avoid Al-Esfau on Jalan Imbi! (It is somehow recommended on Wikitravel).
1) will rip you off
2) better food and same price on Jalan Alor and at bottom of BB Plaza (if open).
3) Needles to say service was terrible.
Definitely try Assam Laksa and Nasi Lemak somewhere.
If you go up the Menara KL (KL Tower), I’d recommend going during the day (if it’s clean air) as it is difficult to see many of the buildings at night.
Finally, if oyu want reasonable accommodations plus a flight, check out the package deals on airasia.com
Try out Jalan Alor during night time. They have lots of food! Different variety. But sure to look around before eating

Mamak stalls are restaurants in Malaysia mostly run by muslim Indians. Traditionally they started out as road side stalls but due their importance to Malaysian social life, hence their number of customer, there are big mamak restaurants and even chains now too. Mamak stalls are a true multi-racial melting pot, whether they be Malay, Indian, Chinese or others, this is place where everybody meets for a snack or a drink with friends, business clients, breakfast or just watching football at night. Many mamak stalls operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. You want your Roti Canai and Teh Tarik at 4am in the morning? No problem. Welcome to Malaysia! Found out what "mamaking" is all about.
