Answer 1

I have always wanted to go there..hope this helps

Places to go::

Lake Gardens:These 92-hectare manicured gardens lie west of Merdeka Square and were once home to the ranking British official. There's plenty to keep you amused, including a butterfly park, planetarium, insect museum, walk-in aviary, orchid garden and hibiscus garden. You can also hire boats on Tasik Perdana (Premier Lake).

Thean Hou Temple
The multi-layered and highly ornate Thean Hou Temple is one of the most visually impressive in Malaysia. It's dedicated to the Heavenly Mother, Thean Hou. Her statue takes centre stage in the main hall, with Guanyin (the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy) on her right and Shuiwei Shengniang (the Goddess of the Waterfront) to her left.

Statues of Milefo (the laughing Buddha), Weituo and Guandi further contribute to this Taoist/Buddhist hodgepodge.

There are great views from the temple's upper decks, while at its base are tourist restaurants and shops.


Petronas Towers
Rising 451.9m (1482ft) above KL, the 88-storey Petronas Towers - currently the world's second tallest building - was completed in 1998 at a cost of $US1.9 billion. The towers' floor plan is based on an eight-sided star that echoes the arabesque patterns of Islamic art.

Ride the lift to the 41st-floor Skybridge connecting the two towers for a decent view. There is a set quota of visitors allowed per day, so get here by 09:00 to avoid missing out.


National Museum Run Amok
The orthodox exhibits on Malaysia's history, arts, crafts and traditions are OK, but better are the wayang kulit (shadow puppets), traditional kris (daggers) and musical instruments. Check out the intriguing 'amok catcher', an ugly barbed device used to catch and hold a person who's gone beserk.

PLACES TO EAT:
Alexis Bistro Laksa Downstairs
Consistently good food is delivered at this Bangsar stalwart, where Asian favourites such as laksa mix it up with more European fare. After your meal move on to the ultra-smooth Bar Upstairs for a cigar and a cognac. There are four locations, including the Bar Upstairs, across Kuala Lumpur.
Hours: Mon-Thu 12:00pm-12:00am, Fri-Sat 12:00pm-1:00am

Bijan Aged Delicacies
While KL has plenty of places to enjoy good Malay food, there are very few where you can sample skilfully cooked traditional dishes in a sophisticated environment. This is the rare exception. Try the tempeh (fermented soybean cake) with anchovies, tomato rice, fried eggplant in spicy chilli sauce and a surprisingly pleasant durian cheesecake.
Hours: Mon-Sat 12:00pm-2:30pm, 6:30pm-10:30pm

Seri Angkasa
Revolving high up in the KL Tower, this restaurant offers exhilarating views and fine dishes. Instead of paying to view KL from the observation deck below, enjoy a lunch buffet and watch the city circle about you. Dining à la carte, there's a large range of local seafood and steaks, but book in advance for evening meals, especially sunset reservations.
Hours: Mon-Fri 12:00pm-3:00pm, 6:30pm-11:30pm; Sat-Sun 12:00pm-3:00pm, 7:00pm-


Shopping:
Sungei Wang Plaza
Sungei Wang Plaza and BB Plaza adjoin to form one of KL's biggest and best shopping complexes. You could lose yourself for hours exploring here. Sungei Wang is particularly good for youthful fashion and accessories, including many up-and-coming Malaysian designers.

Starhill Gallery
Time to breakout your platinum charge card - this glitzy mall is where you'll find Louis Vuitton, Gucci and many other luxury brands. You can eat at the great range of basement restaurants or luxuriate in the spas on the 5th floor.

Kompleks Budaya Kraf Batik Bazaar
A highlight of this large handicrafts complex, which stocks a large variety of locally produced batiks, carved wooden artefacts, pewter utensils, woven baskets, furniture, glassware and ceramics is a chance to meet craftsmen and artists in the surrounding gardens where you find their Art Colony.
The complex also has a small museum and offers batik-making courses.

Answer 2

For variety, you could go to a coffee shop which would house different stalls offering local cuisines, such as Char kuey teow(fried flat noodles with beansprouts, prawn, eggs), Nasi Lemak(many variations but more commonly coconut rice with sambal, a spicy sauce), hainanese chicken rice(chicken boiled/roasted option with rice), etc.

Bukit Bintang is a common attraction at night. It is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, but beware of taxi drivers that would not follow the meter! Be sure to check with your taxi driver that he uses a meter.

can't remember any restaurants on top of my head, sorry. You could try a mamak store though(indian muslim) with the local favourite drink, teh tarik(literally pulled tea!).

hope you have fun!

Answer 3

KL is just another overpopulated hustle bustle city, and the ironic thing is that you can actually finds many foreign food restaurant like Japanese, Korean and Western foods there rather than local ones lol.

There's a state called Penang, on the island, penang island, you can find a good deal of local Chinese foods there. Of course its way up north its nowhere near KL.

Recreational Island are more popular tourist spots

Answer 4

From Thailand go by plane to KL.
