There is a lot to love about Kuala Lumpur, a modern and exotic capital city of Malaysia. Many people visit this magnificent city because they are pulled by its lifestyle, fabulous shopping, world-class cuisine, flourishing economy, sound education, and pulsating nightlife.


Shopping Heaven

     Kuala Lumpur is known as a Shopping Heaven. Especially in the central district of KL (also known as KLCC - Kuala Lumpur City Center), you can find a variety of shopping malls. Most malls are located at the Bintang Walk, along Jalan Bukit Bintang. Shopping in KL seems like an activity no one will ever get fed up with. Most malls are opened daily between 10 am and 10 pm. Yes, 7 days a week to 10 o'clock in the evening; this literally means you will be able to shop until you drop into your hotel bed.



Foods!

Banana Leaf

One of the great south Indian cuisines we have the privilege of eating on a daily basis should we chose is, of course, Chettinad cuisine. Chettinad cuisine is the cuisine of the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu state in South India. If you love rice, you will definitely love the Banana Leaf Rice.


Nasi Lemak

The Malaysian nasi lemak consists of a hot spicy sauce (sambal), hard boiled egg, cucumber slices, small dried anchovies (ikan bilis) and roasted peanuts at its core and to this you may add sambal cuttlefish, fried chicken, cockle, stir fried water convolvulus (kangkong), pickled vegetables (achar) or beef rendang (beef stewed in coconut milk and spices).



Bak Kut Teh

While its name literally means ‘meat bone tea’, there is actually no tea to be found in Bak Kut Teh. The tea in its name instead refers to a strong oolong Chinese tea which is usually served alongside the soup in the belief that it dilutes the large amounts of fat in this dish. The broth of pork ribs with herbs, garlic and spices is cooked for as long as possible – sometimes even days – to give it a rich flavour. To find the best ‘BKT’ as it is often affectionately called, go to Klang, where coffee shops and street food centres serve it.
