After that, we go back to Bukit Bintang, and go to Sungei Wang Plaza to eat dinner. (Web: http://www.sungeiwang.com/). Once again, it's hard to looking for the foodcourt because the sign inside the mall was confusing. But at last, we found it. And guess what, that time there's a bonus buy 1 get 1 for Nasi Lemak. So we decided to eat that. It is really cheap. :D

After eating dinner, we explore the mall but most of them are closed already because it's already 9 o'clock at night. Then we decided the next morning to explore the mall again.

We go back to the hotel, but then decided to go to Alor Street because my uncle wants to looking for Karaoke Mandarin VCD. Alor street is the famous food street in Kuala Lumpur.

If you patient enough, you can looking for dinner in here. There's soooo many food here. We also bought durian.

Once arrive at MRT Huay Kwang, then we remember The Mansion 7 just nearby. So we drop by The Mansion 7 first to take some photos.

From the www.bangkok.com, I read that Mansion 7 is a Mall. See this information:

Mansion 7 is a theme mall with a bizarre twist. It’s dark, creepy, and ‘haunted’ by a legend about its late owner’s daughter – so the story goes. The ghost resides in the Dark Mansion, the mall’s main attraction, while the neglected garden awaits you with unique shops and restaurants. From the main entrance on Ratchadapisek Road, Mansion 7 stands like a giant nest with a claw waiting to gobble up passers-by. Upon entering, the Neglected Garden greets you with a fascinating range of shops and eateries. Beyond the garden is the playground zone, a large fairground space lit by a blood-red moon, surrounded by more theme restaurants and bars. The main highlight, the two-storey Dark Mansion or haunted house, awaits at the far end with its curiously creepy façade – and occasional shrieks and screams from those still ‘trapped’ inside.
(http://www.bangkok.com/shopping-mall/mansion7.htm)

But when I came there, our Thai friends said that Mansion 7 is a night club. And open from 18:00 to 02:00.
