I heart KL

Choosing to spend my birthday weekend in KL is one of the best decisions I made this year. It is great to hang out with my dear old friend Rinz and her hubby. I have a couple of reflections about life in KL as a tai tai and little observations about this city which I known for so long.

KL is familiar to me as I have a number of friends who grew up here and shared many stories about the city to me. It is a 5 hour coach ride and I have not been here for about 10 years! What a shame I must say.

The food here is really good. If you are into local affordable fare, you can't skip eating in this charming city. I love the old coffee shops and traditional food fare which KL has managed to retain. Unfortunately Spore is swamped with food courts and increasingly less traditional food fare. That is the stark contrast between the 2 cities!

I love the Bangsar area which is similar to the Holland Village in Spore. There are a couple of clothing boutique that sell pretty outfits. I purchased up to 5 items within 2 hours! Haha prices here are higher than the ones in Bangkok but the quality is way better. I definitely gave myself a great bday treat!

I hung out at Zouk yesterday. It's quite interesting to visit the different rooms and understand more about running a club. It is one of those 'behind-the-scene' sessions when people who are in the industry share good insights with you. I will never look at a dj the same way I used to after understanding more about the challenges of mixing good music.

I had my first ever volka jelly! It's 12 percent :) I wasn't down by that jelly shot hence I am pretty happy with it. Really had a good time understanding more about KL :)

More pictures to follow ... Food album and fashion album! Update more when I get back. I will be back again
