Stayed at Swiss Inn Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
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!

Interesting city and people, not many visitors. If you are going up the Kinabatangan river, then Borneo Eco Tours provide a really good trip. If you are lucky you'll get to see the pygmy elephants, which were around at the end of April 2005.

Stayed at Equatorial Melaka, Hotel - Melaka (Malacca), Malaysia.
|
We wanted to try out the hawker stalls at Jonker Street, and had trouble finding the place although we drove in our own car. Melaka is a maze of winding lanes and roads, and it was confusing at times to find our way around, even though we are fellow Malaysians. Later on, we found out that the night market at Jonker only opens on weekends, which was a let down for us. However, there were many restaurants in Melaka Raya, an area which was located just opposite our hotel and within walking distance. We enjoyed good Nyonya food (Nyonya food - a combination of Malay and Chinese fusion food specific to Melaka and Penang) and noticed that there were many of such restaurants in this area. For visitors, there are many trishaws available just at doorsteps of the hotel, for those who fancy such rides. Additionally, this would be a good place to visit historical sites such as A Famosa, Christchurch and a display of a Portuguese ship, although this was in our plan for this trip.

Stayed at Legend Hotel, The - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
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.

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

Stayed at Allson Genesis Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
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.

Stayed at Puri Melaka, Hotel - Melaka (Malacca), Malaysia.
|
Melaca is a nice place to spend a day or two. As such there are not many tourist attractions but the city with its ancient architecture is worth a visit for a day or two. We stopped over at Melaka on our way to Mersing.

Stayed at Pelangi Beach & Spa Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Pelangi Beach hotel is located on Pantai Cenang. This beach isn't the prettiest on the island. There was a fair bit of rubbish washed up on the sand and in parts there was a strange rotting smell. Pelangi Beach Hotel is however, up the far end of the beach and therefore probably one of the better hotels to stay at on this stretch. There are a few shops and other restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. A really great spot to eat is the Red Tomato Beach Cafe. Excellent food and service. Also very clean, and great sunset views during dinner.

Stayed at Cititel Penang - Penang, Malaysia.
|
We loved Penang, despite the weather being really humid. Did a walking tour of the Heritage sites of Georgetown, which was both informative and interesting. The Blue Mansion was well worth visiting. Also took a trishaw ride to Fort Cornwallis and a fishing village. The driver had a wealth of knowledge about the local area, and I felt very safe with him, despite the traffic. Ate dinner one night at "The Lone Pine" at Batu Ferringhi, and nasi kandar at Kayu's. Lunched at the restaurant next to Cititel--Mayflower garden I think it was called, and also at the Japanese rest in Cititel. Food everywhere of excellent quality and taste. People were most friendly and helpful. Shopping in Komptar was very good, tho I think we got a bit lost there--didn't see many directions, but the person in the information booth was very helpful. Recommend change money with the licensed money-changers as they offer a better rate than the airports. Loved every bit of it--can't wait to go back!!!
