After having our scrumptious lunch at Yut Kee Restaurant, we walked to Bukit Nanas KL Monorail Station (near to Dang Wangi LRT Station) to catch the monorail to Hang Tuah as we wanted to visit the KWC Kenanga Wholesale City which is Malaysia’s first fashion wholesale and retail mall. You can also take the LRT […]

Yut Kee Restaurant has been serving up traditional Hainanese fare since 1928. It is one of the oldest kopitiam names in KL and is also one of the most popular breakfast places to go to for both locals and tourists. It was previously located along Jalan Dang Wangi (just a right-angled turn from its current […]

After our quick snack of Brickfields Pisang Goreng, we walked back to KL Sentral to get our train tickets to go to Mid Valley Megamall. Wasn’t actually planning to go there to shop or anything like that but because J had worked there for a period of time while on his previous business trips and […]

After spending the morning and early afternoon exploring Chinatown, we hopped back on the LRT and made our way to KL Sentral which is the main railway hub of KL as we wanted to catch another train to Mid Valley. Before that, we walked out to Brickfields a.k.a. Little India to look for this highly […]

After exploring Petaling Street and Madras Lane in Chinatown, J and I walked over to the Central Market (中央艺术坊) which was just a stone’s throw away. Central Market is also known as Pasar Seni which literally means ‘art market’. To get here, take the LRT to Pasar Seni station (Kelana Jaya line). Once out, walk […]

After our street food adventure at Petaling Street (read my earlier blog post on Chinatown | Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur), J and I ventured into the alley via an inconspicuous entrance on Petaling Street and found our way to Penjaja Gallery (李霖泰菜市场). This place is more commonly known as Madras Lane Wet Market (中华巷湿巴杀市场) […]

It was a Saturday morning and J didn’t have to go to work so we hopped onto the LRT train and made our way to KL’s Chinatown a.k.a. Jalan Petaling or Petaling Street. The nearest LRT station to Petaling Street is Pasar Seni on the Kelana Jaya line. Once you exit the station onto Jalan […]

Jalan Alor is probably KL’s most famed food street in the heart of Bukit Bintang. It is quiet in the day but it comes alive, bustling with hawker stalls lining the sidewalks when the sun goes down. This place is very popular with tourists – droves would come gallivanting around looking for local eats. And […]

J and I hopped onto the LRT and headed to Kampung Baru. Even though Kampung Baru didn’t look very far away from our hotel on Google map and in fact it was only one LRT stop away (KLCC -> Kampung Baru), it still wasn’t possible to get there on foot. There wasn’t any through road […]

The old Imbi Market used to be situated on Jalan Melati, Imbi in Kuala Lumpur. Just five months ago, the market had moved to its new home and current premise at ICC Pudu. Perhaps many would regard that as a welcomed move as at the new premise, there would be improved infrastructure and a cleaner […]

I came across TAPAK when I was out exploring the streets for supper options on my first night in KL. It was just a stone’s throw away from my hotel (Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC), located at an open-air carpark next to Corus Hotel on Jalan Ampang. TAPAK is the brainchild of 4 high school […]

After checking into the Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC, J and I took the GOKL CityBus (green line) from KLCC to Starhill Gallery to look for Restoran Beriani Asif that’s located in the Bukit Bintang area. I was recommended to try out this restaurant by a fellow blogger whom had raved about its lip-smacking lamb […]

Hello Kuala Lumpur! I’m back again! When I got off the plane, I was kinda standing there in disbelief that I had picked hectic KL as the destination for my healing trip, lol. No, don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate KL. In fact, there’s nothing I don’t like about KL except unscrupulous taxi touts […]

Hello again Langkawi! This beautiful island located on the west coast of Malaysia is another of my favourite destinations (besides Bali) for a relaxing beach holiday where I could just do nothing but enjoy my 3S – sun, sea and sand. In 2002, I came to Langkawi with my family while on a Superstar Virgo […]

From Toh Soon Cafe, we walked for about 5 minutes along Jalan Penang to Lebuh Keng Kwee (just 4 streets away) for our final food stop which was this chendol pushcart with an incredibly long queue. This auntie’s speed of whipping up bowls and bowls of chendol (RM2.50 per bowl) and ice kacang was just […]

Ask any local where to get good old Hainanese coffee in Georgetown, Penang, I’m sure he or she will likely point you to Toh Soon Cafe which is just two streets away from the famous Line Clear Nasi Kandar and is located in a back alley off Lebuh Campbell. It was a late afternoon on […]
