Nyonya Kwan restaurant at Surya Mall Building is recommended to the visitors who want to try Chinese Peranakan food. Malaysia is a recommended destination for travelers, everything is cheaper compared to Jakarta and Singapore.
I had visited the cardiologist at HSC Medical Heart Centre and I recommend to everyone who want to have a check-up or have stenting here. The price almost half than in singapore. The doctor is very friendly here.

Kuala Lumpur is extremely crowded on Christmas, everywhere there is a traffic jam. I have always like the hokkien noodle that you can locate at Jalan changkat Road where the night hawker food stalls are.

Our purpose for visiting KL was to shop for Christmas. We primarily spent our time in the malls...one adult would entertain the children while the other shopped. KLCC Suria shopping center is great to entertain children with the outdoor play area, the movie theater and Science Museum. The new Times Square Mall has a fun indoor theme park, Cosmo, which our children enjoyed. The IMAX theater is there too. The Kraft Komplex is also a good way to spend a few hours letting children make a batik print. On a prior visit we stayed at the Sunway Lagoon hotel which is attached to a water park and mall with ice skating rink which is fun for the family. KL is constantly changing and there are several new shopping areas under construction now. The monthly magazine "KL Lifestyle" has a helpful layout regarding where to shop, dine, stay and unwind. It can be purchased at most newsstands and mini markets.

Monorail very convenient but we had no trouble with the cheap and friendly taxis when required. The tower is recommended for a view of the city and the Petronas Towers. Petaling St. is a serious tourist trap but there are plenty of locals and Singaporeans as well. There are bargains to be had and the retailers are good to deal with. Swiss hotel halfway down P St serves very poor food at the street level. If you are busing to Singapore, don't go to the central bus station for tickets. It is a nightmare. Go to the Govt tourist agency across the road from the Renaissance Hotel and do it in comfort. Or try a hotel. Don't travel to S on a weekend. Hard to get a bus and the border crossing can take a very long time.

If you like spicy chicken then you should try Nandos flaming grill chicken just across the road from the hotel. Times square is also opposite the hotel where adults can do their shopping and kids can have fun in the indoor amusement park, your kids would love you loooong time. BB plaza also a good place to shop just 5 minutes down the road.

1 utama is a great mall - it's the hype now. Jalan Alor is the food Street not to miss and you have to make a trip down to Chinatown Market to enjoy the famous beancurd dessert and some shopping.

I went to several shopping centres in the area, including the KLCC which I will recommend with its great selection of international brands. The Petronas Towers is also a must see for those in KL, especially stunning at night with its lightings. For those who prefer some outdoor action, Sunway Lagoon is also just about an hour's drive away and taxis are readily available with fares reasonable too. Try the roadside stalls in KL to get a taste of local fare, and if you like clubbing, the area has many well-known clubs within walking distance. Zouk is round the corner, while Hard Rock Cafe is adjoined to the hotel. There are also many themed nightspots in the area eg. Planet Hollywood. If you like Retro music, Zouk is a must go on Wednesday nights!

KLCC offers a variety of restaurants for your dining. The Manhattan Fish Market has super nice fish and chips and their prices are really reasonable.

Monorail [Maharajalela] is nearby for your start of adventure of less than four, don't forget to experience all monorail/trains routes especially KL Sentral to sample Malaysian Life and Architectures, also find out cheap way to KLIA. Otherwise just go across and walk for less than 10 minutes to experience Jalan Petaling's China Town. For family or those lazy to walk better use taxi service.

Kuala Lumpur completely changed my impression of Malaysia. The roads are surprisingly clean and the air fresh, much unlike other places in Malaysia that I frequent, eg Johor Bahru, Melacca, etc. But one thing I found amusing is that the traffic lights don't work, or rather, the locals don't like to follow the green man much (even after the time when traffic lights in KL are turned on). At least, in most places other than the Bukit Bintan area.
I found nice 'dai pai dong(s)' (hawker stalls selling food along the street side) along Jalan Alor. The atmosphere was good and there was a healthy crowd there that persisted even after midnight, sampling durians, fried oyster cake, claypot rice, grilled fish, satay, etc. I also unearthed a few good restaurants along Jalan Imbi that served great lunch. The service was just as excellent as the food.
I had a most exciting (not to mention rewarding) shopping time in the Jalan Bukit Bintang area, spending my time(and money) in Lot 10, Sungei Wang. Don't forget to visit Megamall(in Mid Valley) and 1 Utama for a promising shopping expedition. Taxi is affordable (if you know how to bargain) and taking the monorail or the buses is not a problem either. Sunway Lagoon was every bit as fun as the brochures say. But I prefer exploring the streets of KL. KL is sure a destination I'll visit again.
