Hotels in Kuala Lumpur - Prices and Reviews

Seen: Butterfly Park. Star Trek. The inside of too many malls. Eaten: Indian curry. Malay curry. Chinese Duck Rice. Masala Dosa. Roti Canai. Learned: If I want shoes that look nice and fit me I have to spend more than 100RM. The butterfly park is cool but not worth 18RM - not for me anyway. KL is not somewhere that inspires exploration but it is...

Kuala Lumpur is an awesome city full of all sorts of gastrointestinal delights. Everything from McDonald's and Carl's Jr. to some of the finest street food in the world can be found in and around this sprawling metropolis. And yes... there ever are a Michelin rated restaurants found throughout. Personally though, I am more of a fan of all thing...

2nd-3rd December 2008 We decided to fly to Hanoi first as our reading of the weather suggested it would start to get cold in the north of Vietnam at the end of December, but that further south it would stay warm throughout the year ... not sure how the rainy season will affect us though, we'll just have to see. Anyway, we flew in via Malaysia, w...

It's the first full day in Kuala Lumpur! Michelle has a busy day planned at work, but luckily they do not start work until 10:00am. She ordered room service (fluffy French toast) for breakfast and shared with Mitch. Then, Michelle's coworker met her in the hotel lobby and they drove to the work office together (a few blocks away). The morning s...

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is an intense melting pot of cultures, religions and flavors. It is the first "muslim" country I have ever visited and this change in culture was aparrent the moment I stepped off the plane. A vast majority of the women wear headscarves and some wear a full burka. In addition to the different style of clothing, the colors ...

Well it's great to be back, some of you know what fantastic food you can have here all for reasonable prices. Just remember not to let anybody get their wallet out before yours or you'll end up not paying anything and feeling completely stingy. The list of food is endless, grilled fish, fried squid, kuay teow, nasi lemak, pisang goreng, pau,etc....

Yesterday morning Maida and I headed off to the Sunway Lagoon Water Theme Park and Amusement Park. Anil, an employee at the Number 8 Guesthouse kindly gave us a free pass he had and off we went! Maida loved the water slides and I was very intrigued by the fake beach they had created, including sand, waves, and surfers to go with it. It appeared ...

The baggage restrictions coming out of Heathrow are quite ridiculous, especially for the traveller who's trying to take his worldly possessions halfway across the planet. I had to leave behind my guitar, and some jeans and jackets to ensure I fit the luggage limit. How is that far that someone who possibly could be 30kg heavier than me, still ha...

My last half day in KL because I have to catch an afternoon flight to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). So I decide to take the monorail to its far terminal station and see whats there. At last I find out where the poor people live. In boxes, little boxes all stacked on top of each other to form bigger boxes. Block after block. I look at them and wonde...

Touch down in KL after a great flight and make our way to the hotel. We have a couple of days here to see the sights and chill out before the final flight back to the UK - how depressing! Our hotel is in a great location right next to all the hawker food stalls. We dump our bags on arrival and go in search of food. The streets are buzzing are ar...
