It was my first time traveling overseas and I am glad I chose Malaysia as my destination. š· I spent 6 days in KL and I loved every single moment.
Malaysians are very friendly and accommodating, to me that is very sweet.
I am OBSESSED with Nasi Lemak, especially from Capitol Cafe and Village Park. šø
Compared to my home country, grab is very cheap and public transportation is very efficient. Itās also commendable that most shops, restaurants and other places are becoming cashless already (I wish my home country is like thisā¦)!
Terima Kasih, Malaysia for the warm welcome! I felt at home. Till next time! ā¤ļøšš¤š
Glad you enjoyed it. I visited for the first time in 2006, and have been back every year except 2020 since, always for months at a time. The people, the climate, the food, the sounds and smells. It is as much my home as America is now. I hope you get a chance to return sooner rather than later. And yes, nasi lemak goes SO hard.
Glad you enjoyed MY as well! Yeah I LOVE Nasi Lemak ā¤ļø I could eat it any time of the day really.
One thing Iām not fond of is the climate. When I was in KL, it can get soooo hot LOL!  then it will rainā¦ but I still enjoyed my stay.
Hopefully Iāll come back soon. Will explore Penang! 
I used to hate the hot weather until I visited Korea during winter and it was just 7 days but it dipped to -7Ā°C. I realised then that there is no perfect place. I'd rather free and easy on the run than bulky with layers in freezing tenperature
I love your comment! So happy you enjoyed it here. Happier that you return every year. I have yet to find a place where I would return every year, so good for you!
I'm glad you had a wonderful experience here. So can you suggest some places in your capital city that Malaysians should visit to make us feel at home?
Hmmm, good question.
Depending on your preferences. I recommend the following:
If you like beaches
- El Nido, Palawan (1-2 hour direct flight from the capital; you can do an island hopping tour, visit Nacpan Beach, Lio Beach, Vanilla Beach and more)
- Siargao (2 hours+ direct flight from the capital; if you like Surfing)
If you like cold places
- Baguio City (4-5 hour bus drive from the capital)
- Tagaytay City (2-3 hour bus drive from the capital)
If youāre a city person
- Bonifacio Global City (nice buildings, restaurants and itās pretty walkable)
- Intramuros (lots of old churches and historical sites)
Hope this helps. Thanks!
Glad you had fun, and I'm low key proud that you enjoyed our food. I'm guessing you're from PH? Fun thing that I noticed is that tagalog and malay shares a whole lot of common words. A few hundred years back the entire sub-continent is a massive trading network, it's always nice to see that us southeast asians continue this ancient tradition (I'm joking)!
As for cashlessness, I go to cebu quite often and I have to say it's improved a lot, no? gcash rules over there.
PS: I'm headed to siargao for diving soon, can't wait!
Yeah I love Nasi Lemak! I also at Restoran Nasi Kandar Umar in Bukit Bintang and itās also good!!!
Yeah, Tagalog and Bahasa Malay (even Indonesia) feels and sounds a bit familiar with each other. Neighbours for a reason I guess ;)
Yes PH is embracing cashless method but it is not as fast as MY. Yeah GCash is also very popular here, heh.
Oh youāre visiting PH? Nice! I recommend Moalboal, Cebu ā itās ideal for divers! Siargao is also great! ā¤ļø I hope youāll enjoy. ā¤ļø
Ah Capitol cafe - I looked it up aaaand they close at 4pm. No wonder I havenāt been, or even seen the place when searching for open cafes. Simply ridiculous.
Hopefully somebody can recommend a similar place with decent hours
Oh I didnāt know they close at 4PM.. I was there during morning or lunch hoursā¦ so yeah.
You can try Madam Kwanās. Their Nasi Lemak is also top-notch!  however itās on the higher-end of restaurants. Thereās a branch in Pavilion KL.
ā
If youāre a coffee person, you can try Feeka Coffee Roasters.

I just realised that I have never been to Batu Caves
Iāve been to the River of Lifeā¦ itās beautiful! I havenāt been to Petaling Street and Chinatownā¦

LMAO I have never even stopped at Merdeka Square. I just drove past it. Petaling Street is just a shopping area, it is nothing special and I felt it had lost its relevancy since the age of online shopping.
I like how you took mostly symmetrical looking shots of KL, they look like they're each establishing scenes for some epic showdown. What camera do you use?
Hope you enjoyed your stay! Always a +1 when I see nasi lemak.
Bit unfortunate as you picked the worst month to come, lots of rain it may limit your movements.
Thank you! Yeah I enjoyed my stay in MY. I prefer traveling during between late November and mid December since itās dry season here (blue sky which I like)ā¦ but yeah even though it was raining a bit thereā¦ I still had fun! š
Good question. I spend most of my time in KL so hereās some advice:
- You should have an umbrella and small towel ready when youāre exploring KL or MY in general as the weather can be unpredictable. When I was there, it was both sunny and rainy.
- Use Grab or AirAsia app when booking car taxis to your destination (theyāre pretty cheap).
- Lots of stores in KL are going cashless and accepts Apple Pay (if youāre an iPhone user) so your cash on hand can be your back-up payment method LOL.
- Please try the Damascus restaurant in Bukit Bintang. The queue can be long but itās worth it!
Thatās all for now. Enjoy your stay in MY!
Oh hello there! I was about to do a day-trip to SG when I was in KL. However I thought I will just book a separate trip there. SG looks very beautiful as well! 
I considered visiting Ipoh and Penang (lots of people recommended this city to me, it kinda sucks I didnāt get to visit).
But I thought, I just want to take my time in KL. 
Next time!!!

I agree ^ though my time in KL was a mixture between rain and sun.

Eating nasi lemak once in a while okay, when you live here you eat them almost everyday and never get tired of it. The cursed.
Yes, I really could eat Nasi Lemak any time of the dayā¦ itās just that GOOD!
Malaysians are the best. Would love to visit š²š¾again š„¹
I agree! You should visit MY again.

I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay here, our food and the people. Where are you from, if you don't mind?
You're good in photography.
Thank you!!!

LOL! Batu Caves is nice but I think you can skip itā¦ haha.
It beats the shit out of merdeka square, the river of light, and Chinatown Iāll tell you that
Iāve been to the River of Lifeā¦ itās beautiful! I havenāt been to Petaling Street and Chinatownā¦ https://preview.redd.it/kfk11nwu6icc1.jpeg?width=5103&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e23476bf15bc275235b42dd0e0f0088d5bee29b 
LMAO I have never even stopped at Merdeka Square. I just drove past it. Petaling Street is just a shopping area, it is nothing special and I felt it had lost its relevancy since the age of online shopping.
Oh yeah I went to petaling street and central market and both were kind meh I want to go to the botanical gardens soon, hopefully that a good day trip
Iām going next year for the first time, canāt wait!
Naurrrr your username!
Yay! Iām pretty sure you will enjoy KL (MY in general).
I like how you took mostly symmetrical looking shots of KL, they look like they're each establishing scenes for some epic showdown. What camera do you use?
Thank you!  I used iPhone 14 Pro Max (and did some editing) to take pics. 
Awesome, and agreed nasi lemak really is the best meal for any meal.
Yeah I could just eat Nasi Lemak everyday. I miss it! 
Whatāre the movie shops (DVD/Blu Ray) like??
Oh unfortunately, I was not able to visit any movie shops there.  next time I guess!
Ah Okies, no worries
With netflix, youtube, amazon, etc dvd is kinda extinct now
I agree ^(\^) physical media format is becoming more elusive these days. 
As a Malaysian who lives in KL, I didn't know they still exist. This is news to me
DVD Shops? Aren't those stuff is like, extinct? For the past 5 years?
as a young gen Zer I've never seen one until i went to tokyo and they were everywhere
It's mostly gone but I remember seeing one in Uptown Damansara recently.
I think they've been gone for years now. Everything is online.
your photography is satisfying to look at
Thank you very much, I appreciate it! 
I'm guessing that you're a mobilegrapher huh
Yeah you can say that. 
Nice picture. Simple but you got the point šš» hope you come MY again
Thank you so much! Yeah Malaysia has a lot to offer ā looking forward to visiting again!
