My Kuala Lumpur 2-Day Independent Travel Guide🔍
I personally test that you can't step on a single pit following this guide (because I've stepped on all the pits for you)
▪️ Accommodation : Eaton House (pool photos p17-p18)
Week 2467 pool opening times 8AM-10PM
Week 135 pool open 10AM-10PM
▪️ Eating Recommendations
Super long tacos Tgs bistro (p15-p16) yummy!
New Peak Beef and Bone Tea Tastes like Chinese medicine.
▪️ Taxi: Grab is very convenient and easy to operate just like in China.
⭐️Day1
Daytime KLCC - McDonald's - Parkview Plaza - Evening Petronas Twin Towers - Eaton Infinity Pool
1️.KLCC park (p2)
grab a taxi and search for klcc park
Go deeper into the park and follow the pool to where the dolphin statue is and you'll be there, if you see blue tiles, you'll be right!
2️. McDonald's (p3)
Take a picture of the McDonald's crosswalk.
Navigate in front of Pavilion KI and get off at the intersection opposite to HM.
3. Parkview Plaza
It's very big and easy to walk around. It's right near the McDonald's, so you can go shopping and eat directly after checking in.
4️. Night view of the Twin Towers (p4-p5)
The hottest spot.
Take a taxi to KLCC and tell the driver where you want to go to take photos and he will understand.
Don't take a taxi to publicbank, because there are many publicbanks, it's easy to get the wrong place, I just read other people's tips and went to the wrong place for a few kilometres, and then take a taxi again!
⭐️Day2
Pink Mosque + Independence Square + City Gallery + Jimmy Mosque + River of Life + Ibaraki Street
1️. Pink Mosque (p6-p9)
It's a bit far from the city centre, so you can go there first and then come back to do the rest of the route.
A beautiful pink fairytale castle is super photogenic, but it's a bit backlit and very weather dependent.
Outdoor shots navigate to kelab tasilk putrajaya (this is a good location) get off the bus and walk towards the river for two minutes
For the interior shots navigate to the mosque Masjid Putra, you have to rent a red cloak to enter the mosque.
2️. Independence Square (p10-p11)
Take a taxi to navigate to dataran merdeka
3️. City Gallery
Walking distance from Independence Square, next to the red KL logo is this gallery on two levels.
4️. River of Life
It's all on one line, right next to Independence Square, you can see it when you walk in, there's not much to see, it's just a normal little river.
5️. Chamay Mosque p12
This mosque area is relatively small, in the Independence Square and the Central Arts Square and the river intersection, also went to the Independence Square to sneak two steps to the nothing special
6️. Tseung Kwan O Street (p13-p14)
Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown, from the entrance to enter to go through a long piece of small goods area, don't buy on the end, walk to the innermost part of the snack street! If you're hungry, this is the place to go!

An unexpected internet-famous hotel!
Accidentally, I booked an internet-famous hotel. At the time of booking, I didn't search at all, just thinking about being close to the college, convenient for going to class.
I arrived at the hotel at 11:30 in the evening. I was tired and hungry, and I couldn't wait to take a bath and rest. When I got off the car, I stood in the lobby, stunned for a moment, doubting that the driver had sent me to the wrong place. I asked the security guard to confirm my place, and it was indeed correct.
That moment was like being in Europe.
The next day when I woke up, the first thing I did was search for this hotel. Only then did I realize that I had booked an internet-famous hotel - Arte Mont Kiara.
Arte Mont Kiara has 3 buildings, each with different check-in points and facilities. The ground floor lobby and shops, themed buffet restaurant offer a wide variety of choices; Level R skirt building includes French retro design lobby, outdoor swimming pool, garden theme area, luxury gym and so on
MK2 66th floor has a European classical style restaurant Arte By Thomas Chan
The decoration is antique, full of European classical style. Walking in, it's like being in a European palace during the Renaissance, with murals and artificial sculptures being very exquisite.
MK3 30th floor has a special facility - Cotton Castle Jacuzzi Pods. This open-air swimming pool is divided into upper and lower areas, the upper area is a hot spring, and the lower area is a cold spring swimming pool. The pool wall is designed like layers of cotton, enjoying the sunbath in the light blue hot spring, no matter how you shoot, it is beautiful.
MK1 27th floor Floating Butterfly Garden
MK1 21st floor Le Pelit Playland
MK3 21st floor Rainbow Lounge
This unexpected internet-famous hotel trip has given me a lot of feelings. Although initially I only booked this hotel for the convenience of going to class, without much expectation. But when I personally experienced the luxurious facilities and unique style provided by Arte Mont Kiara, I was deeply attracted. Each building exudes a different charm and style, as if it brought me into a magical and exquisite world, as if I was in a work of art. I was immersed in the European classical style, feeling the romance and luxury of the Renaissance period.
The Replacements Restaurant
This restaurant open early, so for the early bird, you can try out this western style breakfast if when bored with JB local food. Food portion are big, try to share if you are smaller eater. Their American Breakfast is nice as well as French Toast. Coffee is good but tea selection is quite limited. A clean, nice cozy restaurant. Staffs are very friendly and attentive but ... a little "blur". Overall it is worth a try 👍🏻
Located : Jalan Dhoby, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia
#kualalumpur#cafe
Cold Blue Specialty Coffee
Stumbled upon a hidden cafe, which is located on the first floor of a building, I was quite surprised by the quality of food and coffee that they offer.
We ordered a garlic cream cheese bagel, mushroom cheese bagel, and a hot latte. It was simple and nice, can see that they actually put effort into every dish and drinks they do.
They have a very chill ambience with very minimalist design. Can be a cafe that you can sit and chill with friends, or even do some work while listening to some good music played by them.
Located : Jalan Tun Sambanthan, 30000 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

Malaysia
Malaysia
"Windward Village" Sabah, known for its beautiful beaches, is one of the "world's top three best sunset viewing spots". Sabah's evenings are filled with red sunsets all year round. Kuching, also known as the "Cat City", is marked by a cute white cat and is home to the world's first cat museum. At sunset, check out the Kuching Riverfront Park for a boat ride or a leisurely stroll. Langkawi is the largest group of islands in Malaysia. When visiting Langkawi, be sure to check out the new landmark, Eagle Square, and experience the 360° panoramic cable car and walk the 125-meter curved pedestrian suspension bridge!
Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu
📍 Tanjung Aru Beach
It is said to be one of the world's three most beautiful sunsets.
Carrying my shoes, I walked around the beach for half a circle, and then sat on the beach watching the sunset for an hour. It turned out that the day ended like this, lazy and comfortable. Cities with the sea seem to be more romantic, maybe this is my never-tired feeling towards the sea.
Don't just go to Teldrassil 🌴 Malaysia is also fun 🥥👇
All in the tropics, Malaysia is no less than Teldrassil 🌴
Recommended route 👣 Kuala Lumpur 👉 Sabah
Share a few off-the-beaten-path travel destinations~ ⬇️⬇️
1⃣️🏖️Sabah Danang Beach
Sabah trip is all about watching the sunset, and Tanjung Aru Beach was once named one of the top ten most beautiful sunset viewing spots in the world by National Geographic magazine 🌇.
🧡Best viewing spot: Sunset Bar at Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa
🧡How to reserve a bar location: Just make a reservation with the front desk when you check in. We reserved the first row of lounge chairs.
⚠️Tips: The bar opens from 4pm to 7pm in the afternoon. It is recommended to arrive around 4pm to secure a better seat. During peak season, it is recommended to make a reservation via email in advance.
🧡Other viewing locations: If you want to take photos of the beach reflection, you need to walk out of the hotel to Tanjung Beach. The first beach will be crowded, so it is recommended to go to the third beach on the right side after going out.
🧡The thing I don't regret the most about my trip to Sabah is booking this hotel.
2️⃣️🧜Sabah Mermaid Island
A very beautiful sunset 🌄, you can go snorkeling and catch starfish 🌟.
At night, go to the mangrove forest to search for long-armed apes and fireflies.
My friends and I all held fireflies in our palms and made wishes. We were very lucky!
3⃣️🕌️Sabah Floating Mosque
The decorations inside the temple are very distinctive.
Before entering, you need to rent Muslim clothes.
You can pick a set of clothes you like and experience the local style.
⚠️(Pay attention to the opening hours of the mosque)
4️⃣️🎀Pink Mosque of Kuala Lumpur
Girl's heart 💕 explodes! No girl can resist.
About 35 kilometers away from the city center.
Please check in advance if it is open on that day.
5️⃣️🏙️Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur
No need to go to Taipei 101 to watch fireworks, there will be beautiful fireworks at the Twin Towers at midnight on New Year's Eve 👇
🧡Best viewing spot: Blue Sky Bar on the 51st floor of The Face Suites hotel.
🧡The infinity pool is also super beautiful, and you can take close-up shots of the Twin Towers~
5️⃣️Kuala Lumpur City Gallery
I ❤️ KL landmark is right here, you can come and check in.
6️⃣️Food recommendations 🍜
Definitely try Feng Ye! The durian bread is delicious! We ate it for two days in a row! Their chicken and three-color tea are also very good! This restaurant is located on Jia Ya Street, which has many delicious options, such as bak kut teh and salted egg yolk baked crab 🦀️!
7️⃣️About language 🗣️
Basically, many people can speak Chinese, even Teochew and Cantonese! Simple English communication is also possible~
Star Pisces Cruise
Star Pisces was launched in 1990, part of Genting Cruise Lines. The staterooms and cabins are relatively smaller than other cruises. All equipped with basic amenities. I like the international buffet they served in the Mariners Restaurant. The seafood was fresh and delicious. There are also other restaurants such as Ocean Palace (Chinese food), Rua Thai (Thai cuisine), Umigawa (Japanese food) and Blue Lagoon (fast food). So many choices to eat in the vessel. Even though there were limited leisure and sports activities, it was still a fun short trip for the cruise experience.

A Short Getaway to Food Paradise - Malacca
We had the most wonderful time in Malacca over the weekend eating away.
We did a road trip from Singapore to Malacca, and our first pit stop was Gelang Patah. We planned to go all the way to Yong Peng but it was raining quite heavily so we decided to stop to have lunch first.
We ate at the first store we saw - Tang Ren Jie Bak Kut Teh and it was not a bad choice at all! Hot soup and steaming hot rice are the best combination on a rainy day! It just warmed us then and I felt so glad that we chanced upon the bkt store.
We continued our journey to Malacca, stopping for a short while at Yong Peng. As it was raining, we didn't stop by any cafes or restaurants. We did visit one cafe on our way back though (next few posts).
In Malacca, the first restaurant we visited was Famosa Chicken Rice Ball. It is famous for its chicken but ironically I find that their Char Siew is tastier! It is roasted just right without compromising the tenderness of the meat and the sauce that comes with it has the right balance of sweetness and savoury. It is difficult to find Char Siew that tastes this good. The rice ball is flavourful and pretty delicious too, we ordered ten (2 bowls of rice) and finished them all!
The next stop we went to is The Peranakan House. We were pretty full but couldn't resist trying their Chendol. We ended up ordering other dishes - Kue Pie Tee (my love!), Peranakan laksa and Ang Ku Kue. The best dish award goes to the Kue Pie Tee! It is unlike the other Kue Pie Tee that I have tried in Singapore. The freshly made shell is very crispy and the cashew nut gives the Kue Pie Tee a flavourful crunch.
This trip we focused more on food than the places of interest as it was the second time we visited Malacca. Word of wisdom - always visit a country at least twice to fully experience it!

Restaurant & Bar Colala @ Sg. Petani
A good place for a casual chat and drinking party. Parking is convenient, and the food is mainly western food. The chef is experienced and cooks a wide variety of food at affordable prices. The waitress are friendly and courteous. The food is awesome and are in big portions, One of their must try is the crispy and crunchy pork knuckle. I would personally recommend the kerabu prawn as well!

a wonderful tour around the best of Malaysia
my journey to explore Malaysia starts from the capital of Kuala Lumpur, a city where modern and tradition are beautifully together to show the long life of this country.
Than Batu Caves scared Hindu place, followed by Melaka city, with the old unesco city.
Cameron Highlands, with its beautiful forest and tea plantations, the best place to escape during the hot summer!
Penang Island and Georgetown with its beautiful unesco old town.
Finally a wonderful relax time at Langkawi archipelago, a popular beach destination.

Memories are unforgettable
A picture worth a thousand words, but a memory is priceless. You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. Wherever I go I will create memories. For as I'm gone one day, they have something to hold on to it.
Beautiful place, nice room, awesome pool which everybody want to go for it. Explore and just try whichever comes to mind. If you don't try, you will never know be it good or bad. Just go for it.
One of the best way to make myself happy is to recall happy times from the past by looking at the photograph i took during my vacation, happy occasion or any events with my love ones, family and friends...

Cheers to the freaking weekend
Time to relax after 5 days full of stress. Thinking where to go. Well then packed up and drive through it. Cross border and here I am in malaysia. Relax by the pool. Enjoy good food day and night.
Look at that lobster in the big bowl. Gravy taste just right. Big portion which you can share with your love ones. Cozy and classic surrounding. Supercilious and thumbsup
When you want to have your fun time with your families or even your own me time, just drive here. You can do all at one go here in Malaysia. Will return over and over again. Will never get tired exploring for good food good places..

Local food, enjoy char kuay teow @Msia
#celebratewithtrip
Dine like local when you are overseas. At malaysia, introduce to you sister's chee food stall where you can finf local food like rojak and char kuay teow.
Definitely the more malaysian style of cooking with kway teow cooked with light soya sauce.
The Famous Kedai Bak Kut Teh Hin Hock
Most Singaporeans will head into Malaysia especially during the long weekends for some cheap trills! And what do we go for? Good local food of course!
There is a place called The Kedai Bak Kut Teh Hin Hock which deserves a shout out, located at 72, Jalan Dato Mohammed Seth Tampoi Indah 2, the open air restaurant is known for its famous bak kut teh! But of course, do not compare the ones in singapore as singapore bak kut teh is more towards the strong peppery kind while malaysia is either the herbal or the mild peppery broth. The poached fish is also a must have, the firmness of the fish is on point. Don't ask me if its frozen or fresh, but I've to say they do know how to cook the fish till its perfect! Price wise is also very budget friendly as jts popular among locals, if you don't believe look this up in Google, the reviews won't lie!

Tarts and Roasted Pau Lovers dont miss this

With exclusive access for suite passengers & an additional adults-only restriction tagged to it, the Solarium became a lovely paradise retreat away from the war zones filled with masses of squealing kids 😂 where we could enjoy a comfortable soak in the warm pool and bubbling jacuzzis whilst looking out to the open sea 🌊
Superlicious
All I can say is WOW DELICIOUS
Double Play at United Point!
Found this place for kids to have a full day playtime. It’s a mall with residence on it but it has everything a parent need, free carpark, Starbucks, playhouse, playground, restaurant, pharmacy and Aeon !
Playhouse is Pink Fong’s baby shark theme. You wouldn’t want to miss it if you have kids age 1 and above. It’s indoor but with a glass rooftop so the natural lighting is nice; it’s safely cushioned for fall and bump; different sections and varieties of play equipment for kids to be occupied for hours. Standard entry with no play time limit.

Playground is at the podium, with 5 sections and a water splashing area. Love that there are plenty of climbing equipment. Our favourite beside the water area? Definitely the big rope climber right in the middle of the the podium. It’s not enclosed with lots of entry/exit points so parents do need to keep an eye on kids. Plenty of benches or sitting area. The playground area is surrounded by restaurant, convenient store and cafés, good news for parents!
