KL BY NIGHT
1 more image

KL at night is bustling with activity.the area around petronas and the main shopping arcades are busy till 9pm afetr which itstarts shutting down.the chinatown market too shuts down by 10pm.
but the innumerable multiplexes offer late night shows.we watched casino royale at times square 10th floor.the show got over by 2am and we came back safely to our shangri la hotel by 2.30am.
other night spots like hard rock cagfe bustle late into the night.

Dress Code: casual.we did not have any women members so obviously felt safe as it was an all guys gang.

Celsius KL, Bukit Bintang: Chill Nite @ Celsius

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: A world of possibilities
global-drifter profile photo
global-drifter 30 reviews

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.

Good place to hang out, have a few beers, listen to music and watch soccer matches in the bars that have big projection screens on what used to be a red light district but is now transformed to be a real cool stretch of road to party at (like Heritage Row).

Dress Code: Casual.

A good Chinese massage in Bukit Bintang, closed from MacDonald (crossing with Jalan Ismail), first floor (booking in the street). 60RM/Hour

Caution: traditional chinese massages are NOT relax and cool.

Bukit Bintang: I'm doing what?

Tuesday 05/06/2007
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.

Listening to live band

This place have a lots of chinese restaurant, for those who like to have multi chinese food, you can get here at bukit bingtang. For those who like Mediterranean food, you can get it along BB Plaza side walk, there are a few Mediterranean restaurent, and there is another big Mediterranean restaurant near to changkat raja chulan road.

Other than that, you can go to Petaling Street (China Town) to have a lots of choices of chinese food. To walk there from Bukit Bintang to China town it only take you about 20 to 30 mins walk, or you can take a taxi which take u there only less then 10mins, if there is no trafic.

Bukit Bintang also known as golden triangle in kuala lumpur. The night life here are very laid back. Most people will be around here for a chinese food, dinner and coffee with listening to a life band which play at the side walk. of BB Plaza. There are a pub and bistro, restaurant and pub but the place are not as noisy as other club at Jalan P.Ramlee, Jalan Penang or Jalan Sultan Ismail. Most people will sit at the coffee house at the side walk of bukit bintang and have coffee after dinner, listening to the life band music, or watching a cartoonist with their drawing and such.

Bukit Bintang: Street Portrait

If you are in the Bukit Bintang road (nearby Low Yat Plaza), please look for this person, he is an old artist that draw portrait on the spot, I did not ask the price but I saw he has a price tag written there. He is probably the only one that come out alone at night on street to make living this way.
