The location was perfect, in the middle of Chinatown you couldn't ask for much better. Within walking distance of buses or for a longer walk up to the big shopping centers. My favorite place to eat is the Kim Lian Kee restaurant just up over the corner great food and the people are really nice as well. It's nice to sit outside and watch people haggle and learn from them. The restaurant isn't much to look at but the food makes up for that 100%. I took the "country tour" which I was told while on it was more of a "shopping" tour but it was still very informative and surprisingly good. Enjoy!

Chinatown: Had our dinner at the roadside stall along Jln Sultan, which is much cheaper compared to those seafood restaurants, whose staff is always asking us to patronise them whenever we walked pass.
Zouk: Sort of a more high-class pub & disco in town, the way the people dress more formal, the feeling is a bit different as compared to S'pore (also visited another disco that plays mostly chinese pops, but the tremble & high bass of the music makes us stay only for awhile).
One-Utama: A huge shopping complex at Damansara, about RM10 from KL by taxi.
Jln Bukit Bintang: One bak kuk teh restaurant along the main street (opposite the Federal Hotel) sells very nice dishes, definitely worth the money.
The Mall: A fairly older shopping complex compared to others in town, but its close proximity to our hotel makes us visit more than once.

A good location to visit shopping malls and street eateries. Many small rest's are located on Tengkat Tong Shin only a 5 min walk from hotel. Sao Nam (Vietnamese) was one of the best. A selection of fantastic dishes, resonable prices for both food and drink.

This was our third trip to KL in one year. It was our only aim to climb the Petronas Tower for the sky bridge. The first time we came was a monday so we missed out as was not open. The second time, what with sorting our Australia visas, the intense heat, and illness we also missed out. So this time we made it. We almost didn't. We queued as everyone else on the morning and got our time. But, in a flurry of shopping actvitiy we almost missed our time. Well in fact we did. My wife had to quickly slip out of a pair of pants she was trying on in one of the stores and we ran through the 34 degree heat to arrive 10 minutes later but still able to get in to the tower.

For someone who loves the nature, and just has 5 or 6 days or even less to spend in West Malaysia, I would highly recommend you to my favourite destination - Cameron Highland. It is like 5 hours from Kuala Lumpur. Here you would find the tranquility of the mountain, esacape from the heat of the city. Spare yourself, at least, two days at Cameron Highland, join the must go half day tour to tea plantation farm. Here you would see the most lovely and spectacular view of little green lot of tea farm, spreading all over the valleys ranging from one valley to another. Transportation - better to take the espress bus from Puduraya bus station in the early morning. After 5 hours of journey, you arrive Cameron Highland at around 1 or 2 pm. Registerd for a half day or whole day tour. Just relaxed yourself for the rest of the day. On day 2, begin with the tour and enjoy mother nature with experience local guide. If you are taking the half day tour, you would be able to catch the 1:30pm bus back to Kuala Lumpur and save some time!
Accommodation - for the moderate price places to stay (around US35/nite) at Tapah Rata should be fine. Everything will be in walking distance. Food - the most popular to have at the highland is "steamboat", opened by the local chinese who lived there for 20 years. You just plan less than US3 for a "all-u-can-eat" steamboat buffet at any chinese restaurant. Enjoy the food and a beer on hand is the best thing you could never have in Cameron Highland.
Last but not least - I lost my backpack during my coach transfer from Tapah Rata (Cameron Highland) back to Kuala Lumpur. I was aware of this until I arrived KL which was 730pm in the evening already. I was in panic and the only thing I had was the coach ticket which got the address of the bus company. So I ran to the bus company under heavy rainfall, and asked for help. The lady there was so friendly, asked me to calm down and told me that they already got a phone call from the transfer station, knowing I had left my luggage. And they had arranged the next bus to bring the luggage back to me. During my wait for the next bus to come, which was 2 1/2 hours, though tired and hungry, the lady offered a chair for me which was the best comfort I can have. By 10pm, the bus finally arrived and the bus driver saw a frightened me rightaway. It was good to have my luggage back, really. Many thanks to all the people who had given me a hand during the journey in Malaysia! Terima Kesih!

Stayed at Grand Seasons Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The hotel is within walking distance to Chow Kit Monorail Station. This is great for guests visiting Bukit Bintang area. However, to get to the KL city center, you have to go by other mode of transport, unless you take the Monorail to its terminal at Titiwangsa and change over to Starline, another LRT network system.

Best place to shop with reasonable price (Berjaya Time Square, Mid Valley Mega Mall, Sungei Wang Plaza, KL plaza, BB Plaza and KLCC and many more). Tour to Genting highlands was remarkable (one day tour, reservation available through the hotel), not forgetting visit to P. RAMLEE (famous late actor) museum gallery. The food was nice and lots of selection. Really enjoyable trip.

KL is not really a place to sightsee. But is is a place to shop and eat. In a short weekend trip, would recommend a walk through the main shops in bukit bintang. For food, one of my favourite places is the Overseas Chinese restaurant at Jalan Imbi, which has the best roast pork. Their prawns in sweet black sauce is also to die for. (Note - if you're going to eat there, do call and reserve a table in advance together with a portion of the roast pork as it sells out fast).
On this last trip i also found a little cafe in the first floor of Sungei Wang shopping centre, where the local designer shops are, which had the most sinful and largest chocolate banana cake I've ever seen. On Sat night paid a visit to Zouk. Was very impressed overall with the interior and the music but was very surprised that it was very empty even by around 12pm. Perhaps the crowd comes along later but we didn't stay long enough to find out.

Eat meals locally in China Town. We used public transport to visit Melaka, Cameron Highlands, took boat ferry from Perli Kedah to Langkawi, returned to KL with AsiaAirlines, re-booked 1 night at Swiss Inn prior to departure back to Australia.

We visited KL Twin Towers which was free but you do need to book to go up. Also went to the Orchid Gardens and Bird Gardens - well worth it. Meals in China Town were excellent value and very tasty. We walked, took the trains and used taxis when our feet gave out and we were exhausted from the heat!
