Good Morning. It's an simple trip, so we woke up at 7.00. Then we go to Hotel's side to eat breakfast. I didn't booked room with breakfast because the breakfast at hotel cost MYR 23/person. There's a small restaurant beside the hotel, it called Instant Restaurant with owner from Indonesia. It's cheap and has various meal.

My favourite is Pork noodle. My dad buy Hakka Noodle, and my mom buy Chicken Poridge. Our breakfast only cost MYR 71 (for 8 people).

Today we go buy subway. First destination is Batu Cave.

From hotel, just follow the path beside Low Yat Plaza and Federal Hotel, and you will found Imbi Station.


From Imbi Station, we have to go to KL Sentral first, then change line to Batu Cave.


There's no connection between Monorail Line (Imbi Station) to Batu Cave (KTM Komuter Sentul-Port Klang). So we have to walk and looking for the right entrance. 

The KTM Komuter machine is due contruction, so we enter by manual. There's people who guard there, and ask for the ticket. You can buy the ticket at locket.

From Imbi Station to KL Sentral cost MYR 3,1/person
From KL Sentral to Batu Cave cost MYR 2,6/person


There's only 1 exit at Batu Cave, and it goes directly to Batu Cave area.
It's really large, and there's so many people in there. When I go there, there's wedding ceremony that being held.


The Temple


Then we walk further, and will found the cave. There's a big square with 272 steps to climb if you fit enough and big Murugan Statue.



The birds is coming
If you want to go to toilet, you have to pay for MYR 0,5 (or 5 cent). 
Then we climb the 272 steps.

After arrive the peak, there's a big cave inside and there's a stairs again but not too much, to go to the temple. Some local people, climb the stairs without sandals / shoes. You have to wear trousers and not revealing clothes to climb the stairs, if not, you have to buy sharong.

Then our next destination is Masjid Jamek. So we go to Masjid Jamek Station (Kelana Jaya Line, pink line), Gombak Direction.

KL Sentral to Masjid Jamek : MYR 1,54/person

Before explore more place, we go to Central Market first to eat lunch. Exit the station, just turn right, and go straight. You will pass a square. And it's really crowded, a lot of people here, I think there's something going on in here, like performance or any events. 

It took about 10 minutes to walk to Central Market / Pasar Seni. The food court is at 2nd floor. There's a lot of various stand than the food court inside Dataran Merdeka.

After lunch, we go to Merdeka Square / Dataran Merdeka. Just go back where you come from, then on the square, after cross the road, turn left. Walk along the road, you will arrive at Merdeka Square. On the way there, you will see Masjid Jamek.

Then after take some photos, we go back to Masjid Jamek Station. We will go back to Hotel first, to pick up my other brother and his family. So, we buy metro ticket to Imbi Station, because it's connecting. 

We go to Masjid Jamek Station with Line Yellow (Ampang Line), because we will go to Hang Tuah Station. From Hang Tuah Station, we transfer to Monorail line Green, to Titiwangsa direction and stop by Imbi Station.

From Masjid Jamek Station to Imbi Station : MYR 1,7/person.

After pick up my brother and his family, our next destination is Aquaria KLCC. I plan to walk along the skybridge that connect between Bukit Bintang and KLCC. The sky bridge located in the back side of Pavilion Mall. Enter the Pavilion Mall, then turn left, just walk along until there's a side door on the left, which there's so many restaurant outside. Go outside, and turn right, just walk along, and you will find the skybridge.




It's really convenient. We won't feel hot because there's AC in there. And the end of skybridge just right in front of KLCC Convenient Centre which Aquaria KLCC located. Enter the building right next the escalator, and go down 1 level.

I have predicted wrong, and it's holiday at Kuala Lumpur. So the queue to entering Aquaria KLCC, is very very long. I need almost 30 minutes to queue to get the ticket. And it's not a pleasurable things. My mood has gone because too crowded.


The entrance ticket to Aquaria KLCC is a little expensive (I think). Adult ticket is MYR 64/person, and Child / Senior (above 60 years old) is MYR 43/person. (increase from last year)

You only hold this ticket for less than 5 minutes. Once you enter the area, they will took it. So I manage to took picture of the ticket.

From Aquaria KLCC, we go to Suria KLCC Mall to eat dinner. Just walk along the path when you  come out from Aquaria KLCC (food court), then up 1 floor. You will arrive at KLCC Park. And walk along the park to Suria KLCC Mall, and Petronas Twin Tower. 

Once again, my mood is gone, because the park and the food court is too crowded. It's holiday, so many people come here. And KLCC is become one place that they happen to visit. It's hard to looking for the table at food court. And once we got the table, we still have to queue to buy the food. 

It's better if you come here when not holiday. 

It cost approximately MYR 10/person to eat at Suria KLCC Foodcourt. 

Then we go to KLCC Park to see the night. 


Even when we want to see the musical fountain show, we can't see anything. Everywhere is people. And the song is not too clear. 


Then we go back using skybridge again, because if we using subway, then we have to go around. And it took about 40 minutes to go by subway, and only 10-15 minutes walk.

Kuala Lumpur -- Bandar Sunway Day 2 - 2015 May 7 > Malaysia

Good Morning..

We are so excited for today so we woke up early today. At 9 o'clock, we eat breakfast at Instant Restaurant which located beside the hotel. The boss is Indonesian people, and she is very friendly.
I saw the booth, and interesting with it's roasted pork. So I ordered Roasted Pork Noodle 烧肉面 which cost RM$7.





It's yummy, the meat is so crunchy and tasty. My aunty ordered Porridge and 油条. My cousins ordered Roasted Pork Noodle, same with me and Balacan Fried Rice.

This restaurant will become our breakfast restaurant. Actually, there's 2 restaurant with same concept, but maybe different owner, different luck. In the morning, Instant Restaurant is more crowded than the others. But in the evening, the others is more crowded than this one.

After eat breakfast, we go to our first destination,Central Market. The nearest station with hotel is Imbi Station or Bukit Bintang Station. Imbi Station located in the next Berjaya Times Square, and Bukit Bintang Station locted behind Sungei Wang Plaza.

We ride Monorail with KL Sentral direction to Hang Tuah station then change to KTM with Sentul Timur direction to Masjid Jamek station then change again to Kelana Jaya Line with kelana Jaya direction to Pasar Seni Station.




Exit subway station, go to Central Market directions. We have to walk around 5 minutes to go there. After cross the road, you can see the blue old building, that's Central Market.



Central Market sell some art and culture craft. There's a lot of clothes like batik, and some craft. The price is standard. In the back of the store, there's painting store.



We decided to rest for a while, buy some drink. The weather is too hot. 


From Central Market, we go to Chinatown Petaling Street. We just walk pass through the road.




Then we ride Kelana Jaya Line again, and back to Masjid Jamek. Our next destination is Masjid Jamek and Dataran Merdeka. Arrive at Masjid Jamek, we take the wrong exit. So we have to cross the road. And unfortunately, the Masjid Jamek is close at noon. So we decided to directly go to Dataran Merdeka.



From Masjid Jamek, we walk near the construction, and will find a square.



From the square, we can see Pasar Seni. What?? No way... it's so close. It's only located behind Central Market. But we don't know. If we know, we didn't need to ride the train.

In the intersection of the square and pasar seni, just turn right. Then you will see Textile Museum. Walk straight, pass the river and you will arrive at Dataran Merdeka.




We eat lunch first at Dataran Underground Mall. The mall is new, and nothing much to see. Only there's 2 restaurant in there with limited seat.

After eating, we go out and walk around

We took photos with "I <3 KL" statue and enjoy the view of building around the Dataran Merdeka.










After finished, we back to subway Masjid Jamek.



We go back to Imbi Station to go to Berjaya Times Square. I thought that it's expensive mall. But it's not. Most of the store is local product.


Because the hot weather, we decided to try the snow flake. It's delicious and refreshing.


buy 1 mango snowflake, then you will got this for free



 There's a theme park inside the mall, located at the 5th floor. While eating ice cream, we saw the rollercoaster is playing. And we want to try it. I heard that it's the 2nd longest rollercoaster for indoor theme park.



But something happen, while we eat ice, on the 2nd ride that we saw, the rollercoaster stopped in the middle of the ride. I thought that it's a usual stop, but turned out there's something with it. So we decided didn't ride it. Haha..

We bought mineral water and some snack at Cool Storage.



In front of the cold storage, there's a piano stairs that can produce the sound while you step on it. It's beautiful and cool.



From Berjaya Times Square, we go to Pavilion Mall. We pass Sungei Wang Plaza, Lot10, Fahrenheit, all of them are famous shopping place at Bukit Bintang.  We eat dinner at Pavilion Food Republic.

Then we go back to hotel for rest.
