Located at the ground floor of Fahrenheit88 Bukit Bintang, Celsius is one of a kind Restaurant + Bar. The place is more for relaxing than anything else and since the bar area is open air, you can bet that it’s never going to get stuffy here. There’s a good selection of food, and a list of drinks to make the Germans wobble.

There’s the house special that we think is definitely worth a try: Crazy Sins, a combination of seven cocktails all poured at once. Don’t worry it comes in seven different glasses so you can pace yourself when you try it. While we wait for its official opening, the pole has already attracted our attention and why wouldn’t it? It’s the only one we know that has a built in shower for those dirty moments.

Tastebuds craving for good food in KL area? Try Celsius KL. Not kidding – food’s yummilicious and the service was top notch!

Bukit Bintang is undoubtedly the tourist precinct in KL. It's not all bad though, as instead of constant touts and rude behavior, there is instead an endless array of outdoor eateries - a hawker's delight. Every cuisine is possible, from an Iraqi hookah cafe/restaurant, to Thai and Mexican food stands. The hustlers and dealers are present too, pushing everything from hookers to heroin. I opt for neither this time around, but agree to a full body massage (nothing suss).

Dress Code: Anything you want, although some bars may be snooty about who they let in, shorts are almost always ok.

Last stop for the night, we went to try an Egyptian shisha (sheesha?) at Lecka Lecka on Bukit Bintang. A surprising experience, especially for a couple of non smokers but our guide was always finding us new experiences. It was also the first time I visited Lecka Lecka and didn’t eat their gelato. Technically it is still smoking but without the harshness associated with cigarettes. The herbal/fruit mixture is at the top of the pipe which is covered with foil. Then hot coals are placed on top of the foil. After a minute or two, we were able to draw on the pipe which takes the smoke through the water in the base and this is supposedly what removes all the bad things. I'm not going to pretend I understood it, I'm going to need to do a bit more research on exactly what I did do. I guess the real surprise was the lack of coughing I would have thought went with first time smoking and the strange ability to take deep breaths and exhale lots of smoke with ease. A little difficult at times to capture the flavour, possibly in part because of our choice of flavour and our inexperience. We were told taking it in with the mouthpiece on the side of the mouth and drawing the smoke across our tongue helped. We chose grape which was very mild and the intention was to go back at some point and try strawberry but unfortunately, we never had the opportunity.
