We came across this place in Bukit Bintang, namely because there is a landrover sticking out of the second floor of the building. They have lots of jackets and shorts with many pockets, ideal for carrying everything you need. t-shirts, packs, pouches, sunglasses and a host of other things that one would expect to buy in such a store.

7-11 is an iconic brand throughout asia especiallly in southeast asia and east asia and here in Kuala Lumpur it is no different. like in othr 7-11's they have local fast microwaveable foodstuffs like nasi lemak and some beehon noodles and other staples like assorted soft drinks, beers, snacks and other food stuffs. there were 2 nearby 7-11's near our hotel in the chowkit area and hence we bought some stuff here especially the beers for a night of drinking at our hotel and the beers like Carlsberg will cost RM 15 for a 500 ml bottle and tiger beer at $ 14 for a 500 ml bottle.
What to buy: a lot like beers, cigarettes, local fast microwaveable foods like nasi lemak, roti prata and others.
What to pay: not a dent on your wallet

Located 10 minutes from the KL city centre this shopping centre was unbelievable!
Lots of variety of shops range from exclusive brands to city wear shopping. I found quite a few shops here stocked American sizes.
It was too easy to spend the day at 1 Utama shopping. It has recently been renovated so make sure you make time for the new part!
What to buy: Clothes, household, accessories, work clothes.

If you’re knowledgeable on what vitamins you should take,
then the place to visit to stock up on natural supplements
is at Natures Farm located at the Plaza shopping center.
I was also able to find organic Flax Seed oil.
The only place in the Bukit Bintang area which carried it.

What to pay: The Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival in Nov-Dec is a great time to visit if you want to pick up some even more fantastic bargains! Nearly every store in every shopping centre is on sale, so this is the best time to go if you are after a little R&R (rest and retail therapy that is!) In 2004 it ran from 08.11.04 - 03.01.05., so probably around this time every year. They started in 1999, when 3 carnivals a year were held, but from 2005 there will only be one a year in Nov - Dec. Check with Tourism Malaysia for exact dates each year. We were fortunate enough to visit at this time and I had to buy a bigger suitcase (40% off, of course) to take home all my purchases!

Our two English friends decided to upgrade from a film camera to a digital camera after eating a huge dinner at Kun Kee Restaurant. They decided to do this as the day beforehand I had picked up a Nikon Coolpix 3700 with 128mb card for RM1165.
That was an awesome price given to me by Wong the Assistant Supervisor.
So there we were all 5 of us listening to Wong's colleague Chin explain all about the differences between digital cameras, what all the terms meant, how to choose a digital camera etc. Basically we all got a lesson on digital photography. Chin has the patience of a saint as we were there for a good two hours.
The girls eventually bought an excellent digital camera and Chin sure earnt his pay that night. We left at closing time!
Once again, we encountered wonderful, knowledgable salespeople that actually listened to the customers requirements and came up with a perfect product to fit their needs. I told Chin that I would send as many people to him and Wong as I can so here I am writing about them.
They look very similar and I thought Chin was Wong until he told me later on.
What to buy: Cameras - they're alot cheaper anyway here than in NZ. The Coolpix I picked up is NZD$799.00 without the memory and with the exchange rate my buy ended up at NZD$510.00 approximately.
What to pay: Much less than NZ prices anyway. Not sure how camera prices here compare to other markets. I suggest emailing them first so you can compare prices with your home country.
