Weekend Escape: Hiking Adventure to Bukit Tabur
#hikingtrails #100waysoftravel #weekendfun #malaysia
If you’re looking for a thrilling weekend hike near Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Tabur should be at the top of your list. Known for its stunning views and challenging terrain, this ridge hike offers an exciting adventure for outdoor enthusiasts.
We started early in the morning to avoid the heat and found ourselves quickly immersed in nature. The trail itself is a mix of rocky climbs and steep sections, but every step was worth it. As we ascended, the breathtaking views of the Klang Gates Dam and the surrounding greenery opened up, offering perfect photo spots along the way.
Bukit Tabur is not for beginners, but with a bit of preparation, it’s an unforgettable experience. The hike takes around 3-4 hours depending on your pace, and the feeling of standing at the top, looking over the ridges and valleys, is truly rewarding.
Tips: Start early, bring plenty of water, and wear good hiking shoes. Be cautious of the steep parts, and make sure to descend before noon to avoid the heat. A perfect weekend escape for adventure seekers!

Coffee time at Kopi Saigon!
Kopi Saigon has many outlets around Malaysia, and here I am getting my first sip of their Creme Brulee Coffee!
Cost me RM 12, the coffee was sweet and yet too sweet for me, actually, but the creme brulee fulfil each of my taste bud! ♡
The shop was soothing, very refreshing layout and even has a section for photograph!
I'm looking forward to trying another menu soon ♡

Nasi Uduk, Kopi Lain Hati
This coffee shop went viral on KL foodie and it catches my attention! I end up going here after months suppressing my desire to try.
Me and my boyfriend tried their Nasi Uduk with ayam geprek and also I ordered their tiramisu drink and a glass of ice water.
It costs RM 35.80 which for me, it's a bit pricey but not to worry about it financially because the taste is so worth it.
The special about the sambal is the taste it not to spicy for a spicy lover like me and I love how they put lime leaf that makes the sambal smells super scrumptious!
And as you could see, the pictures speaks themselves. The ambiance is chilling, a bit hazardous after thr entrance, beware of a slight inclining after the door entrance and also I love how they decorated the coffee shop so much!
It's a 7.5☆ from me ☺️
Wishing to go to Indonesia this year for a food hunting trip and also new experiences of Indonesia nature ♡

Batu Caves Escape📸
Here’s how I made the most of a sun-soaked day exploring dramatic Batu Caves and colorful Setapak! 😎✨ Batu Caves seriously wowed with its sky-high golden statue and ornate temples, while Setapak was the perfect base.
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Lord Murugan Statue: Kick off your adventure here! This towering gold statue is iconic—get your shot early when the crowds are light. 📸 (No.42 Jalan 2, Batu Caves Point, open 6:00–13:00, 16:30–20:30)
2. Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple: Climb the rainbow stairs for gorgeous views and peep into the intricate temple. (Kawasan industrial Batu Caves, open 7:00–20:30)
3. Kartik Swamy (Murugan) Temple: A peaceful stop for a quieter spiritual moment.
4. Batu Caves & Cave Villa: The caves themselves are a wild mix of natural wonder and mystical vibes. Don’t miss the art-filled Cave Villa!
Foodie Finds:
Morning fuel: Dhivya’s Cafe (Batu Caves, 68100)—go for the fluffy idli and fresh teh tarik!
Lunch/early dinner: Rani Vilas Restaurant, right by the temple (10, Subramanyam St). Try their banana leaf rice!
Stay:
M3 Residences (67 Jalan Madrasah, Setapak). Chill spot and easy Grab or train ride to Batu Caves.
Tips for Travelers:
Bring water and sunblock—those stairs are no joke on a sunny day. Arrive early for photos at the statue. Wear shoes you’re okay getting dusty. If you want a quieter visit, late afternoon is less crowded but still plenty bright for pics!
Getting Around:
The easiest way is by Grab (rideshare) or hop a KTM Komuter train to Batu Caves station—it’s right at the entrance!

Academic Grandeur at IIUM’s Main Auditorium 🏛️🌦️
Step into the heart of Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (IIUM) at Setapak, where the iconic Main Auditorium graces a stunning cluster of blue-roofed buildings framed by lush green hills—an Insta-worthy sight even on cloudy, rainy days! 🌄 The campus effortlessly blends Western-style architecture with a vibrant outdoor cultural landscape, speaking to its reputation as a top international Islamic university.
Your route should start at the Main Auditorium, located at IIUM Gombak, 53100, Selangor. Stroll around the core campus zone to soak in the harmonious mix of tradition and modernity—snap a panoramic shot against blue roofs and the dramatic sky from the open plaza in front of the auditorium. Must-do: peek inside the auditorium itself (subject to schedule) to get a feel for where global academic and cultural events happen. The leafy hills nearby deliver a tranquil vibe ideal for wide-angle nature shots, especially when the clouds roll in.
Practical visiting tips: Dress modestly—respectful attire is essential for entering buildings. The weather shifts fast, so bring a compact raincoat, not just an umbrella. Weekdays are best for exploring without the bustle of big events. Note: Public access to some halls may be restricted; check ahead if you intend a deeper campus exploration.
This campus isn’t just architecture—it’s a living international academic hub. If you’re keen on student life, try to time your trip for a public lecture or open day. Your photos in front of the blue rooftops and leafy hills: pure study-abroad inspiration!

Introducing Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!!
Located on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, this Hindu sacred site is famous for its massive golden Murugan statue and the iconic 272 colorful steps. Inside the caves, you'll find temples where faith and nature blend together, creating a unique atmosphere to enjoy. From Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), it takes about 30 minutes by train to KL Sentral, and then another 30 minutes by KTM Komuter.
You can also feed the monkeys!

I believe its tourism revenue
I decided to try this app after many friends recommended it. It has a high cost-performance ratio. My friends always use this app to book flights and hotels before going abroad, and they all highly recommend it for their trips. I thought I'd give it a try before my next trip abroad and see if it lives up to my friends' recommendations. Going abroad is always fun, and having a good app can really make all the difference.

KL-Setapak New Restaurant😋
✨During the promotion period, enjoy a free small dessert with the purchase of any main dish 😋
The food portions are generous and reasonably priced, and the drinks are also very good — each drink costs less than RM10. Definitely worth visiting and trying out 🫰
The environment is very comfortable and quiet as well.

CTRL + PLAY (Setapak)- Spooky Night Fun🎃 Sim Racing!
#hellohalloween
🏎️💨 Adrenaline rush unlocked at CTRL + PLAY Setapak!
Tried out sim racing for the first time and honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this fun! The setup was super realistic — from the steering feedback to the pedal sensitivity, it really felt like being behind the wheel of a real race car. 😍
For just RM23 per pax/hour, you get a full-on racing experience that’s totally worth it. The environment is clean, comfortable, and perfect for both beginners and racing enthusiasts. You can even book your slot online in advance (which I love because it saves time) and choose your seat setup before you arrive — talk about convenience! 🙌
It’s such a cool spot to hang out with friends, test your driving skills, or even just de-stress after a long day. Definitely something different from the usual café or movie plan 👏
Can’t wait to go back and challenge my friends again next round! 🏁🔥
