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'.

5 Best Places to Minum-Minum (Supper) in KL During the Weekend

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.
4. Plaza Damaz at Hartamas. Few restaurants like Aji Don and others.
5. Up Town five years ago. Now a bit crowded with petty traders.

Having said all that, few other places which i think a good place to minum-minum such as Suzy Corner, Triple 2 and SS2 Stalls.

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.

Playing Golf in Malaysia

Golf has slowly becoming a culture in Malaysia. A lot of tourist came to Malaysia include golf in their vacation package such as those from Korea and Japan. The cost playing golf in Malaysia can be said very cheap. Let's say one can play one round of 18 holes golf as minimum as RM 30 ++ (about USD 10) per person. But, there are certain high standard golf course which charge expensive green fees. But i think it is still cheaper than some countries considering the currency exchange values. Let say if one wish to play a round of golf in Saujana Golf and Country Club, he/she has only paying about RM300 on the weekdays (about USD 100). This club has established itself by winning many recognition and awards. 15th Maybank Malaysian Open was recently being held here (somewhere in February 2009). Some of distinguished players in the tournament were Anthony Kim (AK), Thongchai Jaidee and Johan Edfors. The club is about 15 to 20 minute away from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. There other clubs at this standard in Kuala lumpur alone. To name a few; Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC) and Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam (KGPA). Playing golf at these clubs can really challenge your skills phisically and mentally. Enjoy your game.
