116 Reviews The Batu Caves are about thirteen kilometres from Kuala Lumpur. To get to the caves you must first climb up 272 steps and most of the way up you are watched by sneaky monkeys.

99 Reviews Jalan Alor is the place to head for if you are hungry as their are countless street hawkers selling delicious food.

13 Reviews It was amazing - in just 4 weeks, the quality of the food as well as the staff has changed drastically and we had a perfect dinner last night. The food was really great and worth the money. The buffet was international, and our Muslim and Vegetarian guests could find delicate things to eat. The...
29 Reviews Be careful is all I can say. The girls will latch onto you within seconds of entering the premises... this is country where many people eke out a living and the girls are at the forefront. Very accommodating at first but this can diminish quickly once back at your hotel. I paid RM300 but within 30...
67 Reviews MY Rapid is a company that run the main public transportation system in KL. They provide Putra (Kelana Jaya Line) and Star (Ampang Line) LRT, Monorail, and RapidKL buses.

13 Reviews I was really nervous about what to wear when I went to KL. Because they are a majority Muslim country I wasn't sure if I would be offending them if I wore shorts or a skirt. I spent the first two days there wearing jeans when it was stinking hot and really humid! I ended up asking one of our tour...
32 Reviews I was waiting on the platform during peak hour with my girlfriend trying to catch the LRT to KL sentral this evening. I had my luggage with me so I guess I looked like a tourist. I made the mistake of texting on the platform. And when the train arrived , I promptly placed my phone in my pocket. Then...
26 Reviews This is my true account of how I got ripped off by 2 taxi-drivers in KL. Story with photos: http://antsperspective.blogspot.com/2012/12/getting-ripped-off-by-2-taxi-drivers-in.html In December 2012, I was traveling in Kuala Lumpur for 8 days. Most parts of the trips were good and pleasant. Except...
50 Reviews Look, we can't stop KL taxi drivers from acting unethically and illegally. The city doesn't seem to care about taxi extortion. But there's an easy suggestion. Just avoid them. KL's rail coverage is sufficient enough so that you can avoid taxis all-together. In addition, there's a convenient free...
4 Reviews We use to buy a lot of DVDs in KL and while some were scratched most were ok. Well we are now finding in 2012 you get them home and there is sound but no actual voice/talking. 10 dvds and 9 did it all region 9. So I will not bother in future. There are shopping centres in Bukit Bingtang area where I...

2 Reviews Hello people, for those who are visiting KL and are rather bored with the abundance of shopping malls, backpacker hang outs, R & B music and over-pricing taxi drivers - then you might wanna take a cab one morning (before 7 am if possible) and go to Bukit Tabur, Taman Melawati. Quote from the...
