1 night in KLI have to be honest that Malaysia is never been in my lists. Until i found out that Malaysia has so many beautiful beaches. I decided to visit The Perhentian Island and i had to spend a night in KL. Here’s what i did in KL. 1.Visit the old kasturi kopitiam. It located in china town area. My favorite dishes are chilli pan mee (picture 2) and kuay teaw soup. You MUST try them! 2.Try to find other spots to take pics of twin towers 3.REXKL is also a MUST. It’s the cool bookstore in china town. 4.And for walking street food : Jln alor and china town. 5.Batu cave. I recommend you to go there early since it will be a ton of people and it will be super hot in the afternoon. Also don’t forget to bring your water cause if you go up to the cave the price of water will be 2x 6.Street art. - Petaling Street Art -Alor Backspace Street Art -Maluri Street Art Ps. If you have more than 1 day in KL. Genting is also a good place to visit. You can take a cool pic of twin towers from these places. https://maps.app.goo.gl/rinE85tdXWVHa2fG9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZbPGHhWdVocNc6Sr9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy #travel #solotravel #kuala_lumpur #malaysiaρσяѕcнє1
Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaChinatown in Kuala Lumpur is a well-known food street. Although it is not large, it is very lively, especially at night, it is like a festival, and it is a famous night market in Kuala Lumpur. Itinerary: Arrive at Jalan Petaling after 10:30 in the morning, stroll around the specialty shops, and taste beef brisket noodles and other delicacies at Lai Fong Tea House at noon. In the afternoon, sit down at a roadside stall, taste various snacks, and enjoy the lively night market. Note: Take care of your personal belongings, consume rationally when purchasing goods, and identify the authenticity of the goods. Respect local customs and play civilized.

Day In KLI spent a day in Kuala Lumpur, starting in vibrant Chinatown, where the streets were alive with energy. I caught a glimpse of Merdeka, the city's new tallest building, towering over the skyline. The food was incredible, with flavors from all over. Later, I wandered through Little India, soaking up the culture and color—an unforgettable experience! #100WaysOfTravelZeny_Z2

We decided to give it try and it dint disappoint us at all!!! There are several flavours here such as: - Sea salt chic chic - Milk Chocolate - Sea salt triple chocolate - Dark Chocolate - Nutella - Uji Matcha - Hazelnut Crunch and so on as shown in the picture (2) In term of the price, it is not cheap but anyway, in a such famous tourist spot, the price is still acceptable at RM 10.90 per piece.Seay Doer9

🍦 One of a kind Ice Cream Shop#malaysiatrip This shop is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the Petaling Street / Chinatown. Not to mention, it is just right across a street of Pasar Seni MRT / LRT station. This is a premium ice cream shop, offering ground floor with normal flavour, and second floor is full of alcoholic ice cream options. This shop is also full of seatings around, with nice natural lighting.Jason Egg3

Unique Bookstore near ChinatownThis unique bookstore which located at the top level of REXKL (Pic 2), was one of the most Instagramable places in the capital city of Malaysia. REXKL was located near the Chinatown of KL. The first level was a tropical style bar with a unique small cafe at the entrance. Level 2 has an old movie theatre and strawberry farm which is quite unique and is it not found-able in other shopping malls. This place was a good place to explore when you travel to Kuala Lumpur. #100waysoftravel #chinatownmalaysia #travel #kuala_lumpur #malaysia #beautiful_malaysia #kl #petalingstreet#100家探店計劃 #100種旅行方式 #100WaysofTravelFang Jie (方杰) - Ethen6

KL FlocussFlocuss 福粿Found a new cafe to try on when wandering around the petaling streets. The cafe is directly opposite the side entrance of petaling streets and it’s near to REXKL also. The cafe was at level 1 of the building which requires to climb the stairs at the side of the Chinese bakery shop. (Pic 2). The door is just at the left side of the lift when you walk up to the end of the stairs. Upon walking in, the interior design of the cafe is a mix of minimalist and tradition. There are a few things to try out on the memu. I personally quite like the pink 豆蔻 water and the gold fish 菜糕 . (Pic 1). Too bad the 烧肉 kuih lapis and the Coconut sugarcane (that I urge to try) were sold out. #kl #petalingstreet #kuala_lumpur #malaysia #malaysiafood #chinatownmalaysiaFang Jie (方杰) - Ethen

Amazing Café for Matcha Enthusiasts 🍵🇲🇾#christmastrip 📍Niko Neko Matcha 2.0-Chinatown 181, Jalan Tun H S Lee, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur Minimal aesthetic matcha store located in Chinatown of Kuala Lumpur. The entire store is in white, with matcha bar counter in the middle of the store where the staff prepared the food and drinks. They offered 4 different matcha powder for their matcha lattes which includes Ren, Kiku, Ajisai and Yuri. Besides, there are also hojicha and genmaicha lattes available! I have visited a couple of times and my go to order would be is Genmaicha latte with oat milk? I love it! Its got the umami and strong genmaicha aroma, pairing it with oat milk is just a delight! Oh, love their burnt cheesecake as well, it’s so good! Quite limited space in the café, so you might have it to go. And, if you love it, they sell their matcha hojicha powder and other merchandise too! Tea lovers should definitely visit them! ✨ #foodie #freehotelstay #localguides #klfoodieStephenieNg14

Reasons to Recommend:a place at Kuala Lumpur, famous and popularTips: A place that shows traditional and beautiful creatures.
This is where the first sago processing factory was located. Back then this is to go place for everything during festive season. from decoration to food to clothing. Today you could still spot the old traders shop’s sandwich between the trendy cafe and restaurants. The main attractions to Petaling Street is the authentic local Chinese food. From the famous Hokkian fried noodles to wantan noodles to lala noodle to grilled fish to clay pot chicken rice to bbq chicken wings to roasted duck
A great place to haggle and buy cheap knock offs of label brand bags, shirts, shorts, shoes, watches and perfumes. A great experience for a bag fetish. Haggle with the stall workers over prices as they will highball you but you can get a great quality knock off bag which cheaper price. It's really hot and humid so either go when it opens or go at night. Haggle with taxi drivers for the best price when taking your shopping back to your hotel. This is the second name for Petaling street.
