Underground highway, which reminds me of the KPE.. But it's kinda small n narrow dat it feels like an underground carpark instead..
Our destination, KL Tower

A Singapore car, with a number plate same as the yr which SG was founded by Raffles
On top of the hill where the KL Tower is situated..

Ok let's go down~ It was kinda tiring, but fun..
On the MRT back to Bt Bintang

Back to the city.. this is some new n big building
The Twin Tower is so bright at night dat it lights up the sky..
Went to eat Tze Char..
Waiting~~~~
1st dish butter prawns..
2nd dish, Frog Legs..
Last dish, oyster sauce stir fried veg..
We were famished after the exercising!!
Burp.. All these for juz RM55(S$23), which could easily cost more than S$30 in SG.. N the food were really yummy..
Her leggies
Mine, with powder after the relaxing massage
We head back to hotel in the rain, which broke out juz after we had dinner..
Wad a nice way to end the night... We retired for the day in the fabulous hotel room
DAY 2
Woke up early on Day 2 to haf breakfast. Sadly, we were quite disppointed with the low variety of food in the buffet breakfast. But it's still pretty alright. Maybe our hopes got too high after the fabulous room we got..
Head out of hotel in a cab to Central Market. This is the BIG Puduraya bus terminal in KL
Chinatown, Petaling Jaya
Reached Central Market
Then we came across a Fish Therapy shop n went for a try.. It was our virgin experience!!
The fishes were fucking big, so unlike of those therapy we saw in SG.. I even thought they are Piranas!!
Look at their size!!
Here's a video of our experience..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j8ArKKzg9w
This is really damn bloody cheap.. In SG, 30min cost S$15 i think..
The fishes were definitely not cute, but they're definitely very hungry for human dead skin
Thank you for cleaning up my feet..
Left Central Market n headed out into the scorching sun..
Went to the nearby Thian Hou Temple
--
--
Very nice deco..
Out in the sun again
Chinatown
Went to buy some fake goods..
After getting toasted in the hot sun out there, we proceed to the newest shopping mall in KL, The Pavilion
Ceiling
Christmas deco.. This is seriously a very high class mall, with prices around the same as SG, n shops dat sells top class brands like Gucci, Hugo Boss, Rolex etc etc. Of cos, we didn't buy anything here..
BUT, we had a damn good lunch in the mall at the Sakae Sushi restaurant.. It's lunch hour, n the restaurant is so empty, unlike in SG where it's packed to the brim n we even haf to queue..
Hehe, menu plus calculator..
She takes me
Green tea for each of us
Miso Soup & Chawanmushi
Ebi n Salmon
Salmon Sashimi
Salmon Belly.. gosh, this one is heaven..
Unagi
More salmon!!
Softshell crab, a whole big plate of it!
Burp~ Sakae here is soooooo much better.. Their PC ordering system uses touchscreen, unlike the silly SG system where we still use the BALL MOUSE dat barely works.. Service is good too, with the waitress nice n owas smiling.. Total bill was RM63.35(S$27). If we were to order tha same things in SG, it'll probably cost us S$50
Ugly looking outside The Pavilion..
After taking a short nap in the hotel, we finally head into the mall dat's opposite of our hotel..
This tree is much better looking..
It has an indoor amusement park..
Rollercoaster..
Bought movie tickets to watch IP Man, a kung fu film by Donnie Yen my idol.. It was the opening day of the film in KL. Tickets cost RM11(S$4.7) each, compare this to S$8.50 in SG on a same Friday night.. N mind u, the cinema is huge, with nice comfy seats n big leg room. Sound system is damn good too.. I compare this to Golden Village, it's really damn sucky to watch movies in SG..
We head over to LowYat Plaza while waiting for the movie!! LowYat is KL's version of SG's Sim Lim Square!! Hoho, it's heaven to me.. Bought quite some stuffs here..
Even the building's design look like Sim Lim Sq
Our simple dinner from Lowyat.. Still quite full from the yummy sushi late lunch we had.. This cost RM1.99 each
Went back to hotel n changed into more warm clothes b4 going for the movie.. IP Man is a very very good film.. Do watch it if u haven't.. The fighting scenes are breathtaking.. After the movie, we retire for the day n awaits an exciting 3rd day~!
DAY 3
And finally, to the last day of our trip. We woke up pretty early to have breakfast n then went to Puduraya Bus Terminal to get our return bus ticket from Genting Highlands. Yes, we'll be heading there to gamble in the casinos!!
It was a nice n bright Saturday morning..
Took a cab up the highlands for RM80(S$34.20)
Market
Temple
Car sales
Wire towers
Mountains
More mountains
After an hour of cab ride, we reached the top of the mountains..
Yes, the place has quite low visibility due to the clouds.. Basically, we were in the clouds~!
Inside... We went straight for the casinos, our virgin experience.. haha.. N we lost RM50 b4 we call it quits n went for lunch
Had Mac, which costs the same as SG
Lunch~
We went for a walk outdoors after lunch to enjoy the freezing temperature..
It's blur everywhere..
I could barely see the top of the hotel
Does this look like a haunted house in story books?
We love the weather
Outdoor theme park..
--
Looking down the mountain
Hotels in clouds

Who says u can't live in the clouds?
time's up n we had to leave the mountains.. Took the cable car down.. It was my first ever cable car ride..
