Kuala Lumpur often known as KL is the largest city in Malaysia. KL offers a vast selection of delicious and exotic food that suit every palate. The problem is KL is not exactly easy to get around as public transportation is not readily available. Thanks to Uber, it is possible to get around KL and Klang Valley without dealing with the infamous Taxi driver.
For my travel to KL, Traders Hotel KL is the first choice in my list as it is located centrally at KL city with most of the rooms come with KLCC view. You can take the LRT below KLCC to the other part of the city.
I would recommend upgrade to Traders Club room as you will have access to the Traders Club lounge
Traders Club Lounge offers:
- Check-in and check-out on the club floor
- Free Wi-Fi Internet access
- Free breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails at the Traders Club Lounge*
- Free beverages throughout the day at the Traders Club Lounge
- Fresh fruits available on a daily basis
- Download PressReader to access over 2,500 international newspapers and magazines for free
- Local newspapers available upon request
- Free suit pressing and shoeshine service
- Free 2-hour use of a meeting room
- Concierge service
View from my room, directly facing KLCC
One of the best place to hang out at KL. Skybar located at the 33rd floor of Traders Hotel KL
Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur also provides complimentary Buggy Transfer to KLCC
KL Hop-on-off stop is located at the other end of Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The City Tour runs a continuously circle daily from 9.00am until 8.00pm at around 30 minutes intervals. For more information about KL hop-on-off, check out their website http://www.myhoponhopoff.com/

Mak Woon Chee is Guangzhou’s King of Wonton Noodle and his 100 years old authentic prawn wonton noodle recipe is world famous and a favorite among many famous personalities and celebrities. They open their first branch in Malaysia at 1 Utama shopping Mall and now you can taste their famous thin wonton noodle without travel to Hong Kong. I never tried Mak’s Chee in Hong Kong so I can’t make a comparison but Mak’s Chee noodle is thinner than the one in Malaysia, made by using duck egg and quality flour.
