Next Stop: Kuala Lumpur


Last July 18-19, 20-21, I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Originally, it was only me, my cousin Kat, and my friend Len, then Len invited her friend, Gladys and her boss, Lannie.. the more the merrier! :) We booked Cebu Pacific on sale, so the ticket to KL was only around Php 4,000 ish. Not bad right? It was the Malysia Mega Sale Carnival (July 4-August 31,2009), while shopping is the agenda, we thought we'd be able to visit Genting Highlands and Batu Caves aside from the usual tourist spot Petronas Towers, but we ended up shopping the whole time, and it rained on our last day so we were just stuck in the mall.

I opted to buy the local brands, like Vincci or VNC in Manila. Since the shoes are from Malysia, it's really really cheap. I'd say the price in Manila are around 3x the original retail price.

In every trip, one should never miss the trip to the supermarket for good finds. I even found Pods! Pods are made and sold in Australia, there are varieties like Twix, Mars, and Snickers Pods. I didn't know it's being exported to Asia, I actually googled it before in hopes of finding the chocolate somewhere in Asia like Hong Kong, but no, it wasn't a success. I'm so happy I found it in the Cold StorageGrocery in Suria KLCC.

I tried their curry, Nasi Lemak, and Roti Canai. The rest of the stuff I tried, I'm not sure if it's really Malaysian food because we've been eating in food courts so we have a lot of choices :) I've tried some good soup, and good fish but it wasn't my order so I don't really recall the name. I usually stick to the safe choices, like food I've read as recommended must try (like Nasi Lemak) The local chips brand Twisties is also good, these are being sold also in Singapore. The Lot 100 sour candies are yummy also, these are sour powdered jelly candies.
Of course I didn't forget the Starbucks tumbler to add to our collection (Ian and I collect these). Too bad there wasn't any Starbucks in Cambodia.


Siem Reap entry to follow... I definitely have more breath taking pictures to post! :)
