Batu Caves

Funnily, the name Batu Caves is a mix of two languages, English and Malay. In Malay the word 'gua' means cave while stone is the english word for 'batu'. Some of the locals here called the place as 'Gua Batu Caves'. Nevertheless, Gua Batu Caves is a limestone temple built inside a cave (Actually, it's consist of a few linking caves).

In my opinion, there are 5 Best place to minum-minum (supper) in KL During the the weekend and they are:
1. Hartamas is on the top of my choices. It has plenty of restaurants like mamak restaurant such as Pelita, Safiz etc. Other outlets such as the Starbucks, Coffee Beans and others attract youngsters to lepak here.
2. Bangsar as i have mentioned it in the last posting.
3. Mamak stalls in Doraisamy Street near the Wilayah Complex. Open twenty four hours and serve tasty the tarik. A good place to lepak till morning.

5. Up Town five years ago. Now a bit crowded with petty traders.

Drop By at Petaling Street Whenever You're in KL

Situated at the middle of Kuala Lumpur (KL). Petaling Street or Jalan Petaling is also being called China Town. It is about 5 minutes walking from The Central market. Here, in Petaling Street you can buy watches, shirts, DVD's and many more. Most of them are imitations. Try to bargain at least half of the price being offered. If the seller agrees with your price don't ever cancel the purchased as he will feel intimidated. If you want to bargain just make sure you really want that products. Whenever you're in KL just drop by at Petaling Street for a short visit.

Bangsar; A Good Place to Lepak

A lot of people like to hang out in Bangsar town as it being one of the popular spot in Kuala Lumpur. The place never dies. 24/7. Place for the elite but full of wannabe. Restaurants, malls, bars to name a few are the magnet which pull the crowd to join the wagon. Me myself sometime after work 'lepak' (hang out) here meeting some friends and enjoying a glass of warm lemon tea and a plate of 'keropok lekor' in a restaurant called Chawan. The only issue here is lacks of parking space. Looking the right spot to park your car is totally annoying. But still it worth the effort.

Fishing at Kenyir Lake

One of interesting places in Malaysia to visit is Kenyir Lake. It is the largest man made lake consisting of 340 islands and 14 waterfall and surrounded with worth seeing tropical rain forest. Anglers love to come here as it has fresh water fishes from hundred of species. It took about 4 to 5 hours driving form Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Terengganu plus another less than one hour to the lake. The anglers can rent a boat house at reasonable price. The boat house can accomodate 10 to 15 people depending on the boat house size. The boat house equipped with basic necessities such as beds, toilets and cooking equipment. Certain boat house employed a cook so anglers will spent most of their time fishing and less in the kitchen. Fishing at Kenyir Lake was the best fishing moment i ever had in Malaysia.
