KLCC - Petronas Towers

We wanted to capture the Petronas Towers at night, so we proceeded to have dinner at KLCC. We ate at this restaurant called "The Manhattan Fish Market"...


Ordered the Manhattan Seafood platter for two, which was surprisingly blasted with butane to melt the cheese and mayo for the flaming prawns.


















Deep fried fish fillet, calamari, oysters, flaming prawns served with chips and garlic rice. . .


















Garlic butter mussels...


















After the heavy dinner we walked outside to look at the towers.


















Always a beautiful sight!






































P.S. >> Don't forget to get a tourist privilege card at the Information counter, as this will entitle you to a 10% discount on most of KLCC's stores. We saved a lot of $$ using this card.

Pasar Seni and Petaling Street

Pasar Seni, or the 122-year old Central Market of Kuala Lumpur. We think this is the best place to get KL souvenirs and trinkets at a bargain.


















We also ate here before, during our '5 countries' trip. Good food at a good price.


































































Petaling Street - Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. There were a number of hotels in this area as well catering to backpackers. Might try staying in this area next time. Lots of stalls selling food, clothes, and accessories. Also a lot of people selling pirated cds and dvds.
































Some men roasting castañas:

Midnight snack?

We were supposed to go out for dinner at our favorite hawker center in KL, Jalan Alor. But we were caught in a downpour so we didn't get to go. :(


The road that leads to Merdeka Square:




















































But I was so hungry. . . So off we went to the nearest 7/11!














































At least we had a cute spoon! :)


















Cup noodles never tasted so good!

This is how you go to Kuala Lumpur from the airport...

On our last visit to KL, we took the bus from LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal) to the Main terminal. That's where we took the train to the city.

This time, we opted to take the KLIA Transit. This will make us board the bus going to Salak Tinggi Station, the nearest stop of the train which would connect to the city.

Salak Tinggi station, waiting for the train which will take us to Sentral. After this pic, station security told me to stand behind the yellow line. :)


















When we reached Sentral, we bought tickets to our next stop, Masjid Jamek.

Comfort food

A number of planes arrived at the same time as ours so we were stuck at KL immigration for about 2 hours...

As soon as we came out of the terminal, we sat down at the Golden Arches... Nothing beats McD's for comfort food.
















...

So what else do we do in Singapore?

Of course we eat!


Super breakfast from the hotel...






















































































Fatty Weng Carrot Cake and Kway Teow

































Spinach quiche and apple fritters from Starbucks...


















Macarons from La Grenier a Pain...



















Some more chicken rice from the Food Village




































Delicious burgers and fries from MOS Burger:










































And our last meal before leaving Singapore...

Mandarin Chicken Rice at Chatterbox

This well-recommended restaurant is actually at the hotel where we're staying...

Went a few floors down the moment we felt hungry again!



































































Of course we had to try their famous Mandarin Chicken Rice!


















And the Lobster Laksa was delicious too!
