Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur is known for its skyscrapers and cultural diversity. Rise to the top of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers–the world’s tallest twin towers; or brave the glass-bottomed viewing box at the Sky Deck in KL Tower!

A city bustling with excitement from day to night, Kuala Lumpur offers you a splashing good time at Sunway Lagoon. Spend time walking up the steps of the Batu Caves, a picturesque limestone hill. A melting pot of culture from all over the world, the local cuisine is bound to tantalize your taste buds! Simply go on a street food hunt and you’ll understand why. To escape the heat, take a day trip to Genting Highlands, a hilltop City of Entertainment.

Why people love Kuala Lumpur

5 /5

Highly recommended
Quan's Kitchen at Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown
First visit to this restaurant. Bought breakfast buffet as it’s flash sales and cheaper. The reservation has been made via Table Apps and Klook. The atmosphere is comfortable and you may see the view of Kuala Lumpur if the waiter arrange your seat beside windows. Due to Covid-19 situation, the restaurant will prepare a slide of glass to avoid interaction when you take the food. There will be a chef and three waiter will assist you to take the food even though it is buffet style but you are only able to order the food and the food will take by the waiter. The choice of food is standard. They prepare few type of juice for you to choose. Remember not to choose watermelon juice as it’s didn’t have the taste of watermelon but only water taste. Highly recommend for their orange juice as it’s really fresh enough. And also their croissant as it’s really soft and crispy. You can try their yogurt if you are yogurt lover. Aside, you can order egg such as omelette but remember to add in salt or pepper would be an advantage. Lastly, thanks Klook for selling this voucher and I got the chance to try buffet style in breakfast time. Location is easy to access and redemption of process is smooth. You are advise to park the car to the hotel parking if you are driving.

Zoo Negara Admission Ticket (National Zoo of Malaysia)
Everything smooth from start to end. Book 12pm session without knowing the animal show also at that time, so it filled my time ☺️ Due to pandemic, they handle visitors with very well-organized. Gladly every visitor follow the new rules. But as for the animal... they look skinny especially our Tiger. Any than that everything was so fine, if you're tired of walking, you can take tram and relax enjoying the view. It only cost RM8 (for Malaysian). Suitable for bunch of teenagers, solo traveler, family. Have a visit when you come to Malaysia/ when you visit Kuala Lumpur.

Dialogue in the Dark Ticket in Kuala Lumpur
Really great experience. Very entertaining and informative tour done by an amazing guide. Although it was just me on the tour, I still had an enthusiastic reception. The guide was ever ready to answer all my questions. At the end of it, I had gained so much knowledge and a better insight into the life of a blind person.

Serena Brasserie at InterContinental Kuala Lumpur
Delicious FAT macaroons. KLOOK will send email inform you there are six flavours: Teh Tarik, Creme Cheese Blueberry, Chocolate Salted Caramel, Mango Vanilla, Mint candy can, Coffee Orange and also will request you reply for the pick up time. My favourite flavour is Creme Cheese Blueberry. When arrived the restaurant, the macaroons is ready and just show them the voucher qr code for redemption.

Pier 12 Seafood Tavern at Old Malaya
Was served by 2 staffs. The first staff insisted that I could only use 1 voucher per table. Luckily, the second staff came and let me use the voucher for side dish as well. Lamb was tasty, the sauce, potato was great. After finishing the food, while waiting for the car outside, the second staff was kind and offered to take photo for us with the KL Tower, it turned out nice (he must be experienced helping countless of visitors with such photos haha). It was around 9pm, the KL Tower facade was illuminated with different colours of light lasting for few minutes.
