Stayed at Puteri Pan Pacific Hotel Johor Bahru, The - Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
|
We got around by car. Coming from Singapore, it was a smooth and easy road to hotel destination. We heard so much about Danga Bay from our friends. Ample parking spaces and spoilt for choice of food made us brought our parents to try the foods there especially the lunch buffet of 'Kampung Dishes' which were soo authentic and varieties with we pay for a very affordable price. Those who wish to drive in Johor the signs are very helpful and easy. You will never be hungry at Johor Bahru, almost every turn there will be restaurants and shopping malls are plenty. Traffic is rather busy. Of all, we love Danga Bay so for foodies like us, do look that out!Beautiful at night:)

Stayed at Allson Genesis Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

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.

Stayed at Bon Ton Restaurant & Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
We took a mangrove tour which was a great day out on the water with many varied activities learning about the mangroves, and ecology; bat hunting (with camera not guns!), getting fingers nibbled by fish and feeding eagles. The guide was extremely knowledgeable - Biden -contacts details with Bon Ton. Well worth the day out.

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

Stayed at Tanjung Sanctuary Langkawi - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Recommend doing the snorkelling trip to Palau Payer - was the most awesome trip. But be warned to apply a good waterproof sunblock as everyone's backs got quite burnt from spending all day floating in the water.

Stayed at JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
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.

Stayed at Bon Ton Restaurant & Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Langkawi is a lovely island, fairly quiet on the nightlife side but if you like your food it is amazing! The seafood is fantastic, especially at the Bon Ton and for traditional and very cheap Malay, the hawker cafe 'BZ Sempoi' is definately worth a visit (centre of the island). The cable car is a good morning out with great views and a sunset cruise is a worthwhile experience. The best bit is just jumping into a car and exploring - we discovered the new Four Seasons resort - an amazing place! Generally, a great place to relax and unwind.
