On day 1, the taxi driver did not know how to get to Ancase Hotel (just beside Chinatown) from KLIA so I was circling the area for a good one hour before I could check in. by that time, I was actually starving and would settle for anything edible for dinner and settled very casually for a zichar stall just 2 streets away. It offered this unqiue dish of horfun with fried crispy beehoon.
View of KL Tower outside Ancasa Hotel, where I stayed for the weekend before the move to The Saujana.
Taken at Jalan P. Ramlee where all the clubs were situated. Didn't go dance but I did eat at beach club and enjoyed being a voyeur watching expats pick up filippino ladies. There were also Thai and Chinese clubs and Zouk was located right at the end of the stretch.
Roadside stall selling snack sticks that I would boil and eat on the spot. I didn't want to observe the hygiene level so I gave the sauces a miss. Thankfully, my tummy didn't act up so the choice to be "adventurous" that night was worthwhile.
I miss watching the prataman perform in Singapore and having my prata served fresh from the "oven". These days, the prataman hides in the back kitchen from all preying eyes and they serve from a stack of pratas that are "ready-made".
View from my Ancasa Hotel room on Day 2. The hotel is located in the bustling area of KL, just beside Chinatown.
Pavilion shopping centre from the inside.
"The Loaf" breadshop in Pavilion, opened by Dr Mahathir. Yes THAT Dr. Mahathir, previous Prime Minister of Malaysia. i didn't have the honour to dine beside him like my colleague did though.
Starhill Gallery, where the ultra-luxurious brands are. Obviously, I didn't walk out of the shopping centre with any purchases but I previously dined in a buffet restaurant named Jogoya there. It is a very popular chain in Taiwan and has a wide variety of food and desserts. The sole indulgence of Haagen Daz ice cream is worth the value.
The floors of the mall also breaks convention by being non-numerical.
