Stayed at Sabah Hotel - Sandakan, Malaysia.
|
Outstanding seafood restaurant, Ocean King Seafood Restaurant, 7km outside Sandakan on the front overlooking the sea. A 10 ringit taxi ride and the food was very good. Wildlife Expeditions was the best tour company in our opinion.

Stayed at Royale Bintang, The - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
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!

Stayed at Sheraton Langkawi Beach Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Definitely go to the "Barn Thai" restaurant for lunch or dinner. It's about a 40-minute cab ride from the hotel, but worth every penny because the restaurant is in the middle of an awesome mangrove forest.

Stayed at Jesselton Hotel, The - Sabah, Malaysia.
|
Best sunset that we can remember seen from Waterside restaurant area. Check out the drink prices at all venues as the Irish bar was double one a few doors down. No great food experiences at all in KK as food generally lacked spice. Night market is only for counterfeit goods and doesn't match markets in Thailand, Vietnam or China for range and quality.

Stayed at Oriental Hotel Penang - Penang, Malaysia.
|
As my friend and I took the whole day tour recommended by the hotel, we visited quite a number of places. We visited the Esplanade, Kek Lok Si Temple, Snake Temple, Wat Chayamankalaram, Dharmikarama Burmese Temple, Penang Hill, Butterfly Farm and other factory selling accessories.
You will never go hungry in Penang. The food there is EXCEPTIONALLY DELICIOUS! Sedap!!! One thing you can't miss is the Penang Laksa. With the mild sour gravy with thick bee hoon, its one taste you can't forget. Other than that, don't forget the roadside stalls and the night market in Lor Selamat and Lor Baru. The Chay Kway Teow there is excellent and not gorget the rest of the stalls that sell local delights.

Stayed at MiCasa All Suite Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
Use the LRT for all connections. It is quick, clean and comfortable. For Genting, take the LRT to Putra Gombak and then the regular bus shuttle that starts every half hour for RM 25 including skyway and outdoor theme park tickets. Must visit the Bird Park and the Butterfly park-especially if you have kids. Use a taxi for these two places: about RM 50 return with waiting included. Nothing much at the Batu caves-can be missed. For shopping: KLCC for big brand names, Mid Valley mall for regular stuff. Take LRT to Bangsar station and then the regular free shuttle to Mid Valley Mall.

Stayed at Langkawi Village Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Langkawi is a great island and it is very cheap to hire a car or moped for the day and explore. The roads are very quiet so it is very easy to get around. Places I would recommend to see is the cable car which is very high but you get fantastic views.There are a few shops and coffee shops there too. The waterfalls are worth a visit but they are not really in full flow during dry season. Underwater world is also excellent place and there is also duty free shopping right next door. Another good duty free shopping place is in Kuah with shops there that sell lots of souveniers. There are lots of beach/sea activities in Langkawi with jet skiing, paragliding etc.
There are lots of restaurants to visit I would recommend The Lighthouse and The Beach Garden Resort where you can either have your dinner sitting out on the beach or inside. another good place is The Matahari. They all do a great choice of Asian and Western food but the Lighthouse is my very favourite place. There is also a good choice of local food stalls which are cheaper but they also have excellent food. A great place to drink and stay out until the early hours is Champor Champor. The Coco Jam Nightclub is another lively place which is at Langkawi Village Resort. It doesn't really get going though until after 1am!! Langkawi is also a fantastic place to just switch off, relax and do nothing at all but soak up the sun, laze on the beach and have a dip in the sea. Its fantastic!!

Stayed at Sheraton Langkawi Beach Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Must rent a car on arrival. They don't check any documents, only want the full rent upfront. Rented a aircon Proton Wira for RM 40 per day. Fuel is only about RM 1.5 per litre. The roads are good, wide and have hardly any traffic. Well lighted, sign posted so driving is not a problem. The island hopping/coral island tours are cheaper at the Awana Porto Malai. Reach there by 9AM if you want a tour the same day. Bargaining works, especially with the non-hotel ferry owners. (We got the island hopping tour for RM 25 per head).

Stayed at JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
Visited KL many times and never tire of it. Try and get up to the skybridge at Petronas towers (go early for ticket) and eat in restaurant up the KL tower. Stunning view. Also visit Bangsar area for good bars and restaurants. Beware taxi drivers who don't switch on meter and then ask you for crazy figure. Tell them to switch on meter or agree a price before starting.
