    Nice to stroll there either early morning or if you are going to see the dancing fountain so you can go at 8 pm. A lot of photos to Petronas could be taken there.

    Pavilion KL is arguably swankiest mall in the whole of Malaysia, beating even Suria KLCC. The owner seemed to have done things right - right tenant mix, right locations for various tenants rather than mixing them up together, and ample parking.

    Just loved the vibe. Thousands of foreign tourists thronging the mall daily would agree with me.

    While in Kuala Lumpur, you cannot skip Jalan Alor. This street is situated in the Bukit Bintang area and is THE foodstreet by far. Nothing much to do during daytime. But after 5 pm, it all comes to life. Streetlife but then aimed at food. There is an abundance of restaurants and Hawker stalls. They cater for everyones needs. The proces are not over the top, although you shouldn’t expect to eat very cheap either. Give it a go. You will not be disappointed.

    If this review was helpfull to you, pleas give a “usefull vote” so I know I was of help to you. Enjoy your stay!

    We visited Royal Selangor Visitor centre without booking in advance. The staff were polite and welcoming, and was available to give us a guided tour within 5 minutes. The young tour guide, Poh, was very professional and knowledgeable. The whole place was elegantly presented, products in the show room have a huge variety, and the pecan cake in the Cafe was delicious. It’s definitely a place worth visiting!

    Very nice. We did a lot of walking. Did not find the walker until the latter part of our trip. Wish we had found it sooner, it would have given us more time to explore.

    Easy access from public transport as well as linking the local transportation to the Twin Towers of Malaysia. Plenty of famous designer brands, supermarkets, restaurants and a large food court as well as coffee shops. Easily a destination for a whole day.

    Free entry into a beautiful temple just out of town, which holds beautiful views and makes for some candid photos. It’s also a place of worship to remember to be respectful and cover up accordingly. Definitely recommend visiting this colourful temple!

    As a mosque, it's great, it can be considered as a "all in one" mosque since they have more than what normal mosque would have. They even have classrooms and special rooms for lectures and seminar-like events. They have multiple areas for ablution some of them are MASSIVE. A big plus for taking care of stray cats and kittens. They do have an area that could be use for taking pictures for special occasions such as weddings but things could look much better if the places aren't as moldy. However, those who are in a wheelchair have no method to get to the main praying area.

    As a tourist attraction, it's between "good" and "great" for me. I was quite surprised to find multiple al-Qurans with translations in different languages because it was my first time seeing them in person. They do have a schedule for when Non-Muslims are allowed to enter the mosque for tours but they are quite small and easy to overlook which resulted in some tourists were told off by the staffs and guards. They even have a special place in the main praying space just for tourists to come in and take some pics of the place. They do provide robes for tourist who aren't as covered as they should be to enter a mosque.

    One of the place to buy malaysia's souvenir and stuff. It's near pasar seni station. The price are vary, and maybe you need to find more sellers to compare the price. There are lot of stuff, such as bag, fabrics, accessories, food and drink as souvenir, t-shirts, etc.

    This Jalan Petaling Chinatown is not appealing, stalls are selling fake goods, but you can get some football jerseys of the local football clubs, fake but it actually the same fabric as the real ones. You can try some Chinese food here but it’s better to try them in Pudu.

    The new Panda Eyes multistore dominates the sleepier stretch of this short street where most tourists will find themselves. For classier shopping there is Pavilion at the other end and many restaurants in between. The popular outdoor food court is down a lane among the budget accomodation.

    This is worth a visit if you are in the vicinity. I just wanted to say that it is well done - excellent lighting. Plenty of seating around the pond. Sitting in the middle area gave the best views for photos. The music and light show starts at 8.00pm (goes for about 10 mins) but there is a light show at 7.30 that almost goes for the full half hour, so it is worth getting there at 7.30 pm to find the best vantage point and settle in for the show.
