#postandearn When I visited Kuala Lumpur, my mission was clear: Take as many stunning photos with the Petronas Twin Towers as possible—but without the crowds and not from the usual spot where everyone gathers (right in front of the towers). 😎 So, I did some research 🧐 and found a few amazing spots that gave me unique angles, a chill vibe, and photo results I absolutely loved: 📍 Saloma Link Bridge A beautifully designed pedestrian bridge with a fantastic view of the towers. Perfect for photos, especially when it’s quiet! 🌳 KLCC Park A peaceful green escape right near the towers. You get that perfect combo of nature + skyline, and it’s never too crowded early in the morning. 🚶♀️ Walk from Saloma Link to Twin Towers This walk is like a hidden photo gem for me! Different angles, cool city backdrops, and best of all—hardly anyone around. Loved the casual vibe! 🍽️ Alva KL Restaurant Not just a place to eat, but also a stunning rooftop spot with one of the best views of the Twin Towers. ✨ The food? Amazing. 📸 The view? Unmatched—if you get the right table. ⚠️ Make sure to book in advance and request the tables closest to the towers! We didn’t get that 😔 but it was still totally worth the visit. 💡 Travel Tip Go early in the morning for the best lighting and to avoid the crowd. And if you're planning a rooftop meal, make your reservation early and be specific about your seating request! #throwback #travel #travelphotography #kualalumpur #malaysia #malaysiatrip #malaysia🇲🇾 #salomabridge #klccpark #alvaKL #twintowers #twintowerskl #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #travelasia #photospot #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment

#postandearn For my KL trip, I stayed at Hilton Garden Inn Kuala Lumpur (both North and South buildings on separate trips) and honestly, it was the perfect choice for what I was looking for! 🎯 My Hotel Goal I really wanted a hotel that had a nice view of the Petronas Twin Towers and included breakfast. A lot of the apartments rent in KL have stunning Twin Towers views, but they don’t offer breakfast 🍳. And the hotels that include breakfast + a view? Way too pricey 💸. Hilton Garden Inn checked all the boxes ✅ Twin Towers view 🌇 Tasty breakfast 🥐 And the price? Super affordable! 💵 Price Range (in USD) Prices vary depending on the room and platform, but generally: Room-only: around $31–$34 per night Twin Tower view + breakfast: about $40–$60 per night Honestly, that’s a steal for what you’re getting! 💖 What I Loved ✨ Clean and comfy rooms 🌆 Beautiful Twin Towers view right from the window 🍽️ Good breakfast with enough variety to start the day right 🤏 Minor Downsides 🛍️ It’s about a 15-minute drive to major malls and shopping spots. But I used Grab most of the time (super affordable in KL), so it didn’t really bother me. 🏊♂️ Heads-up About the Pool Only one of the two buildings has a swimming pool, and it’s not the one with the Twin Towers view. So if you're staying in the room with the Twin Towers view and want to swim, you'll have to pop over to the other building. One building with swimming pool focuses more on KL Tower view and the other on Twin Towers—I don’t remember exactly which is which (North or South), so it’s a good idea to ask the hotel before booking if you have a strong preference. 🔁 Would I Stay Again? Absolutely—I stayed twice! Once in each building. That says a lot, right? 😄 It’s hard to beat the value, especially if a skyline view is a must for you like it was for me. #travelmalaysia #throwback #travel #travelphotography #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip #kualalumpurhotels #malaysia #malaysiatrip #malaysia🇲🇾 #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #travelasia #hotelreview #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment

#summervacay #springitinerary 🌸Just visited the stunning Thean Hou Temple in KL 🏮✨ A beautiful blend of culture, architecture, and peace — right in the heart of the city. Couldn’t get enough of the vibrant colors, intricate carvings, and the serene vibes 🌸🕊️ If you’re in KL, this place is a must-see! #TheanHouTemple #KualaLumpur #TempleVibes #CulturalJourney #TravelMalaysia #HiddenGems #Wanderlust #SpiritualSpot

If you’re in SS2 late at night and craving something comforting, Ming Kee Porridge is an absolute gem that stays open into the wee hours. We dropped by around 11:30 PM and were pleasantly surprised to find the place still bustling and welcoming. Though it was late, we were lucky to still catch some of their char siew, which looked irresistibly glossy and caramelized in the display. One thing that immediately caught our eye was a roast duck with a rich, dark hue—turns out it’s their signature Black Truffle Roast Duck! Unfortunately, it’s only available in half or whole portions, so we had to pass this time. But it’s now firmly on our must-try list. We settled on their old-school wanton mee, and wow—what a brilliant decision. 🍜 What We Loved: • Noodles: Cooked to perfect al dente texture with a flavorful dark soy sauce base. • Char Siew: Easily one of the best in KL. Juicy, with perfectly charred edges, balanced fat-to-lean ratio, and a melt-in-the-mouth finish. • Wantons: Fat and generously filled with minced meat and prawns, making each bite satisfyingly rich. While we didn’t try the porridge this time, it’s clearly a local favorite—we saw many tables digging into bowls of it, and we’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. ⸻ Final Verdict Ming Kee Porridge serves up some of the best late-night comfort food in SS2—with unbeatable char siew and nostalgic wanton mee. Friendly vibes, honest flavors, and hearty portions. Highly recommended! #summervacay #MingKeeSS2 #LateNightEatsKL #CharSiewLovers #BestWantonMeeKL #SS2HiddenGem #PorkPerfection #MidnightCravings #TruffleDuckTease #KLStreetFood #ComfortFoodMalaysia #PorridgeAndMore #MustTryCharSiew #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

On our hunt for the best durian in SS2, we decided to give Durian Hill a try—and we’re glad we did. It was a spontaneous decision after dinner, and while there weren’t many durians left, that only meant one thing: business must’ve been booming. We went with a Musang King (MSW) from Pahang, priced at RM58 per kg. Though not cheap, it was well worth the splurge for two people. The fruit was handpicked by the seller, and they chose well—creamy flesh, small seeds, and a rich, full-bodied flavor that hit the spot perfectly. The sellers were friendly, polite, and sincerely grateful, which added to the warmth of the experience. The environment was clean and well-kept, with proper seating and even a washroom available—a big plus when you’re enjoying durian in comfort. ⸻ Final Verdict Durian Hill SS2 offers premium durian in a clean, welcoming setting, paired with genuine service. If you’re craving a top-quality MSW experience, this spot delivers. #summervacay #DurianHillSS2 #MusangKingPahang #DurianLoversMalaysia #SS2DurianTrail #PremiumDurianExperience #KingOfFruits #CleanDurianSpot #KLFoodieFinds #DurianTasting #PetalingJayaEats #DurianSeason2025 #MalaysianFruits #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

SS2 in Petaling Jaya is well-known as a durian lover’s paradise, and DKing stands out as one of the more well-organized and inviting spots among the cluster of durian sellers in the area. The atmosphere is lively, with multiple durian stalls and photo-worthy setups that make for a fun and unique experience. If you’ve never taken a selfie with a mountain of thorny fruit, this is your chance! During our visit, we decided to go straight for the coveted Musang King—a must when you’re in Malaysia. The price was about SGD 20 per kilo, which isn’t dramatically cheaper than Singapore but still fair, considering the quality. The staff was helpful and honest, assisting us in selecting a good fruit based on our taste preferences. 🥭 The Durian: • Taste: Rich, but not overpowering. Not overly sweet, which we appreciated. • Texture: Slightly dry and creamy—exactly how I like it. • Seeds: Small, which meant more flesh. Always a win. We appreciated the clean and comfortable dining setup, with tables and chairs available for on-the-spot feasting. Drinks were sold separately, so it’s worth noting if you’re planning to wash it down with something cold. ⸻ Final Verdict DKing SS2 is a durian experience done right—clean, organized, and satisfying. While prices aren’t dirt-cheap, the quality and service make it worth it for any durian lover. #summervacay #DKingSS2 #MusangKing #DurianMalaysia #SS2DurianHunt #PetalingJayaEats #DurianExperience #KingOfFruits #MalaysiaFoodie #DurianSeason #CleanDurianSpot #DurianTastingKL #TropicalFruitLove #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

Sometimes the best meals come from the most unexpected moments. After a post-gym session at Level 3, we wandered into Wan Chun Ting, not expecting much—but what we got was an exceptional dining experience that checked every box from food to service to atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed by Captain Jimmy, whose genuine hospitality and excellent recommendations truly elevated our evening. At 6:30 PM, the restaurant was still quiet, allowing us to enjoy the elegant setting with its upmarket, tasteful decor and well-spaced tables that offered a sense of exclusivity. 🦆 What We Ordered: • Half a Peking Duck: Expertly prepared, and we opted to have the meat stir-fried and wrapped in iceberg lettuce, a brilliant suggestion from Jimmy that kept the dish light and refreshing. • Crab Meat with Tofu: Not listed on the menu, but recommended by Jimmy after hearing we wanted something light. It turned out to be an absolute hit—fresh crab, silky tofu, and perfectly balanced seasoning. We didn’t order any carbs, and Jimmy judged the portions perfectly for two people—no waste, just satisfaction. The meal felt indulgent but not heavy, a testament to thoughtful planning and precise execution. Special mention to our lady server Sri, who attentively kept our tea cups filled and made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. ⸻ Ambience & Value The restaurant is luxuriously designed, offering both sophistication and comfort. Despite the premium feel, we found the pricing very reasonable, especially considering the quality ingredients, refined cooking, and truly outstanding service. ⸻ Final Verdict Wan Chun Ting is a masterclass in Chinese fine dining—exceptional food, attentive staff, and a serene, stylish setting. We’re already planning to come back to try their dim sum next! #summervacay #WanChunTing #PekingDuckPerfection #ChineseFineDining #KualaLumpurEats #LuxuryDiningKL #CrabAndTofu #ExceptionalService #GourmetExperience #HiddenGemKL #DimSumGoals #ChefRecommended #5StarHospitality #FoodieApprovedKL #ElegantEatsMalaysia #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

We decided to try out HappyFeet Damansara Utama for the first time, having already visited their other outlet nearby. This visit turned out to be a pleasant and relaxing experience from start to finish. The moment we stepped in, we were greeted by a well-decorated, welcoming reception area that instantly set the tone. The space was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully lit, creating a calming atmosphere perfect for a massage. I opted for the 1-hour leg massage, while my wife went with a full body massage. The massage rooms were quiet and comfortable, and both of us were impressed with the skills of our respective masseurs. My therapist applied just the right amount of pressure, and I walked out feeling light and refreshed. My wife shared similarly positive feedback about her session. After the treatment, we were served a soothing cup of tea, a nice touch to wind down the experience. Prices were reasonable for the quality of service offered, and there’s ample parking available right outside the shop, making it very convenient. ⸻ Final Verdict HappyFeet Damansara Utama offers a relaxing, professionally delivered massage experience in a clean and cozy setting. We’ll definitely be back again! #summervacay #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip #HappyFeetMassage #DamansaraUtamaWellness #MassageKL #FootReflexologyMalaysia #RelaxAndUnwind #MassageTherapyKL #CoupleMassageMY #WellnessRetreat #HiddenGemKL #MassageExperienceMY #AffordableRelaxation #SelfCareKL

If you’re craving traditional Hong Kong-style desserts in a cozy, modern setting, Sik Thong Ba Dessert in Uptown Damansara Utama is a sweet spot worth checking out.

If you’re looking for top-tier Japanese yakiniku in Kuala Lumpur, Kampai Yakiniku should be at the top of your list. We made a reservation through their website a day in advance, and upon arriving at 6 PM, we were promptly seated in a comfortable alfresco setting that was well-ventilated and relaxed. From the start, service was outstanding. The staff—especially one crew member named Jonel (if I heard correctly)—were warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they were serving. Jonel made sure our ice green tea was always refilled, and checked in regularly to ensure we were taken care of. We opted for the Wagyu Premium Buffet at RM299 per person, which offered unlimited servings of various cuts of Tokushima A5 wagyu. The moment the first plate arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. The marbling on the beef was immaculate, and every cut melted beautifully on the grill and in our mouths. We did the cooking ourselves at our table, which made the experience more personal and interactive. To balance out the richness of the meat, we also ordered the salad, which provided the perfect refresh between rounds of indulgent wagyu. By the end of the meal, we had easily polished off about a kilogram of beef, and felt deeply satisfied. Ample parking is available right outside the restaurant, making the whole experience hassle-free from start to finish. ⸻ Final Verdict Kampai Yakiniku delivers a luxurious wagyu feast with warm hospitality and flawless execution. For anyone serious about authentic Japanese yakiniku, this place is a must-try. #summervacay #KampaiYakiniku #WagyuLovers #A5WagyuTokushima #YakinikuKL #JapaneseBBQMalaysia #MeatMarblingGoals #KLFoodie #YakinikuExperience #AlfrescoDiningKL #PremiumWagyuBuffet #GrillAndChill #FoodieApproved #YakinikuHeaven #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

If you’re a coffee lover looking for something beyond the usual brews, Starbucks Reserve at Mid Valley Megamall offers a refreshing step up. Known for its premium small-lot beans and handcrafted brewing methods, this Reserve branch delivers both consistency and quality in every cup. I stopped by for a midday coffee break, choosing to sit at the bar—a great spot to observe the brewing process and chat with the knowledgeable baristas. I ordered a pour-over using the Indonesia West Java beans, a recommendation from the barista. It turned out to be right on point—heavily roasted, full-bodied, and rich in flavor, just the way I like it. What sets Starbucks Reserve apart is its ability to create an experience that’s more than just coffee—it’s interactive, educational, and elevated, while still being relaxed and welcoming. ⸻ Final Verdict Starbucks Reserve Mid Valley is a solid go-to for those who appreciate specialty coffee and a more refined café vibe. Great beans, great baristas, and always a great experience. #summervacay #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip #StarbucksReserve #MidValleyMegamall #SpecialtyCoffeeMalaysia #IndonesiaWestJavaBeans #CoffeeBreakKL #BaristaExperience #ThirdWaveCoffee #CoffeeLoversMalaysia #StarbucksMalaysia #ReserveExperience #KLcafehopping

Arriving in Kuala Lumpur after 10pm, we were hungry and in search of a no-fuss local bite. We found ourselves at Q Bistro in Bangsar, a popular mamak-style restaurant that was still buzzing with late-night diners. The air-conditioned dining area was packed, which speaks to the place’s popularity. Thankfully, there’s also a spacious alfresco section, but like most people, I opted for the indoor seating to escape the heat and humidity. I went with a classic mamak combo: 🍛 Nasi lemak with chicken rendang 🥚 Telur dadar (omelette) ☕ Teh tarik The nasi lemak rice wasn’t as aromatic as I had hoped—it lacked that rich coconut fragrance that makes the dish shine. However, the chicken rendang made up for it, offering deep, flavorful spices and tender meat. The ikan bilis and peanuts were a bit on the stingy side in portion. That said, it was still a solid, satisfying meal, especially given the hour. Teh tarik was smooth and frothy, just as expected from a good mamak. ⸻ Final Verdict Q Bistro delivers a decent, fuss-free late-night Malaysian meal in a lively Bangsar setting. While it’s not the best nasi lemak in town, it’s dependable, tasty, and open when you need it most. #summervacay #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip #QBistroBangsar #NasiLemakFix #KualaLumpurEats #LateNightKL #ChickenRendang #MamakVibes #TehTarikTime #BangsarFood #MalaysianComfortFood #KLFoodieStops #QbistroReview

Madam Kwan’s at Pavilion Damansara Heights brings classic Malaysian comfort food to a stylish, upscale setting. It’s a great place for casual get-togethers or introducing visitors to local favourites, with both indoor and outdoor seating that offers a relaxed and comfortable vibe. The signature nasi lemak—especially the bojari version—remains a highlight, offering rich, aromatic rice paired with well-seasoned proteins. The beef rendang, assam prawns, and chicken satay are also popular and consistently enjoyable. The prawn noodle soup impresses with its fragrant, flavorful broth. However, not every dish hits the mark. Some diners find the curry chicken nasi lemak and char kway teow underwhelming, occasionally citing issues like saltiness or the use of frozen chicken. Service is generally efficient, but QR code ordering can lead to slower responses or order mix-ups. Staff are courteous, though some experiences lack the personal touch. While prices are on the higher side, they reflect the brand’s established reputation and the location. Portions are generous, making it a worthwhile stop for those craving local dishes in a modern, mall environment. ⸻ Verdict: A reliable spot for classic Malaysian flavours in a clean, contemporary space. Stick to their best-sellers like nasi lemak and prawn noodles for the most satisfying experience. #summervacay #MadamKwans #PavilionDH #NasiLemak #MalaysianCuisine #ComfortFood #KLFoodie #RendangLovers #PrawnMee #DamansaraHeightsEats #FoodInKL #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

Transitioning from a humble street stall to a renowned restaurant, it has garnered recognition, including a MICHELIN Guide selection, for its dedication to preserving traditional flavors while catering to contemporary palates. Signature Dishes to Savor • Teochew Porridge: A lighter, more watery congee compared to its Cantonese counterpart, often enjoyed with sides like salted eggs, preserved vegetables, and stewed peanuts. • Orh Nee (Yam Paste): A beloved dessert made from smooth yam paste, garnished with ginkgo nuts, red dates, and sometimes slivers of pumpkin, offering a sweet and comforting end to the meal.

Dolly Dim Sum at NU Sentral offers a polished and fuss-free dim sum experience with a modern vibe. The stylish blue-and-gold interiors provide a chic yet comfortable setting, perfect for casual lunches or group outings. The Siew Mai, packed with prawn, chicken, and mushroom, stands out for its clean flavors. Har Gao (prawn dumplings) deliver silky skins with firm, fresh shrimp. A fan favorite is the Dolly Mozza Roll—crispy bean curd wraps stuffed with molten mozzarella and prawns—bringing a creative twist to the traditional menu. Don’t miss the Egg Custard Bun. It’s soft, fluffy, and filled with rich, molten salted egg yolk that bursts with every bite. For something heartier, the Salted Egg & Shredded Chicken Porridge offers a comforting alternative. Service is generally helpful, although seating can be a bit cramped during peak hours. Note that tea is charged per cup, so be mindful when ordering. While prices lean toward the higher side, the quality, ambiance, and halal certification make it worth the spend. Must-try items: • Siew Mai • Har Gao • Dolly Mozza Roll • Egg Custard Bun A great spot for those craving modern, halal-certified dim sum in the heart of KL. #summervacay #DollyDimSum #NUSentralEats #HalalDimSum #KLFoodie #DimSumLovers #ModernDimSum #PorkFreeDimSum #FoodReviewKL #MuslimFriendlyEats #MalaysianFoodie #DumplingDelights #SaltedEggEverything #HalalEatsKL #EatDrinkKL #DimSumTime #FoodieFindsKL #SteamedAndServed #MalaysiaMakan #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

Zhao Ji Desserts brings classic Cantonese flavors into a modern café setting, and our visit proved to be a nostalgic yet satisfying journey through traditional sweet treats. I tried three of their signature offerings: • Black Sesame Paste – Thick, smooth, and deeply nutty. It had just the right level of sweetness and a velvety texture that warms the soul. A comforting bowl best enjoyed slowly. • Red Bean Soup – Hearty and familiar, this bowl delivered well-cooked red beans in a slightly sweet broth. While not the most complex dessert, it stayed true to its humble roots. • Mango Pomelo Sago – The most refreshing of the three. A chilled, tropical blend of mango purée, chewy sago pearls, and bits of pomelo that added a subtle citrusy zing. Light, vibrant, and a great contrast to the heavier hot desserts. The space was clean and casual, with a pleasant atmosphere for sitting down with friends or family. The menu is impressively extensive for a dessert shop, offering a wide variety of hot and cold options, both traditional and contemporary. #summervacay #ZhaoJiDesserts #CantoneseSweets #PavilionDamansara #DessertLovers #BlackSesamePaste #RedBeanSoup #MangoPomeloSago #AsianDesserts #ComfortFood #MalaysiaEats #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

The space is inviting and well-decorated, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Service is efficient, and QR-code ordering makes the process smooth and modern. Their signature pandan-infused rice is fragrant and fluffy, forming the foundation of every plate. The ayam goreng (fried chicken) and ayam bakar (grilled chicken) are standout options, both juicy and well-marinated. Multiple sambal choices—classic, pineapple, hijau, and extra spicy—let diners customize the heat and flavour profile of their meal. Other protein options include rendang lamb shank and grilled wagyu beef, which are cooked well and full of flavour. While delicious, some diners feel the premium meats are better appreciated on their own rather than paired with nasi lemak. Portions are moderate and just right for a complete, satisfying meal. The overall flavour and execution are impressive, with high-quality ingredients used throughout. Nalé is a great pick for those who want to enjoy nasi lemak in a comfortable, contemporary setting. While it may not replace a street-side classic, it definitely elevates the experience with thoughtful presentation, excellent sambal, and consistent execution. #summervacay #NasiLemak #NasiLemakLovers #PavilionDamansaraHeights #MalaysianFood #FoodieKL #ModernNasiLemak #HalalEats #KLFoodie #AyamGorengSedap #SambalLovers #Nalé #MalaysianCuisine #GourmetNasiLemak #KualaLumpurEats #FusionFoodKL #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip

Traditional claypot chicken rice has always been one of my favorite dishes — the kind that stirs up comfort and nostalgia in every bite. Sadly, it’s becoming increasingly rare to find a stall that still cooks it the old-fashioned way over charcoal fire. But tucked away in Kuala Lumpur is Heun Kee, a gem that continues to honor this timeless method. Here, the rice is cooked from scratch in claypots over glowing charcoal, just as it was meant to be. The result? A beautiful harmony of textures and flavors. The chicken is tender, juicy, and deeply marinated, soaking up every bit of smoky essence. And then there’s the charred rice crust at the bottom — crispy, golden, and fragrant — the prized portion every claypot lover craves. Best of all, this satisfying, soul-warming meal comes at an affordable price, and it’s no surprise that Heun Kee has earned the prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. If you find yourself in Kuala Lumpur and craving something honest and traditional, don’t miss this place. Heun Kee isn’t just a meal — it’s a reminder of how food cooked with time and heart always stands out. #summervacay #HeunKee #ClaypotRice #KLFoodie #TraditionalFood #CharcoalCooking #FoodWithSoul #BibGourmand #MichelinEats #MalaysianFood #KualaLumpurEats #ComfortFood #ChickenRice #FoodieFinds #AuthenticEats #FoodThatTellsAStory #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip
