KL Family trip Day 2 – KLCC

[ Sponsored ]

Day 2 in KL, like all tourists, we did the wefie with KLCC (Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers).

Earlier, we had a satisfying buffet breakfast at Delicious, one of E&O Residences’ F&B options.
(Read our day 1 apartment review and Jalan Alor trip).

Kids are curious about the various giant birdcages in the restaurant.

Decent spread of American and local breakfast buffet.

The cakes and pastries do look delicious.

There is a spare kids room in E&O Residences, not exactly kid’s club. While Mummy goes shopping nearby, Dads can chill in the aircon environment. While the boys play basketball, Boon Xin tried to build a tunnel.

Can you spot our own Twin towers?

KL attractions, E&O Residences is about 15min walk from KLCC, and 20min from Berjaya Times Square (indoor theme park). Bukit Nanas is a green pocket (nearer to KL Towers) for nature lovers.

Do take note temperature in the city often soars to a humid 34 or 35 degrees Celsius!
Monorail or the free KL bus should bring you to your destination in comfort.

After a short 15 walk to KLCC (also known as Petronas Twin Towers), shopping beckons. Tourists can opt to get a bird’s eye view of Greater KL from the 41 and 42 floor (just do not attempt a Sean Connery or Catherine Zeta Jones acrobatic moves aka Entrapment).

Hot day, if only we can dip our feet inside the cool fountain 🙂

KLCC GoPro, trying to keep our eyes open under the glaring afternoon Sun. Not easy to wefie as the two towers are really tall! (you need a wide or fisheye lens, we used our GoPro)

It is easy to lose our way and orientation inside the massive mall. Boon Xin shopped for a necklace (girly thing) while Boon Yee attempted a Teletubbies ride (oh NO!).

Yummy Fuel Shack Burger at KLCC food court, we need to recharge our energy. Be prepared to wait a while for a seat as KLCC is always crowded.

Back in our apartment, swimming pool jump shots for kids again. Although pool might be small, but our kids are still enthusiastic.

We were dipping until the last hour before checkout.

Jalan Alor Food

Mention Jalan Alor food and Chicken Wings come to mind.

If you are visiting KL (Kuala Lumpur) for the first time, Jalan Alor might be a good bet to start your dinner. It is about 8 min walk from Bukit Bintang Monorail station.

Map. Bukit Bintang station is smack in the heart of happening food and shopping zone.

Boon Yee’s own restaurant, we are curious about the huge jar’s content 🙂

Sugarcane, coconut, KL is hot, replenish your water. We packet some fried chicken home for supper.

Jalan Alor is really packed every evening. Spotted a lot of tourists. We recommend families to reach around 5.30pm to have an early dinner. It will be more difficult to find a seating place after 6.30pm.

Busy street with lanterns above, and handicapped folks singing a tune or two.

Restoran Wong Ah Wah or WAW (with Mickey mouse lookalike emblem) is at the end of the street. WAW consists of 5 stalls!

And it all started with Wong Ah Wah (maybe KL’s most famous) chicken wings. According to a Taiwan TV variety, 5000 wings are sold every night!

Surprisingly, our kids prefer the non-spicy stingray more than the chicken wings.

Roasted Pork noodle. It got too sinful after the 5th mouth :p

Try it for the novelty, but you must not count the lard calories.

Satay

Calamari is recommended.

Frog legs

At WAW, you can sit at any of the 5 stalls, we believe the menus are offering the same food. Our total damage came up to RM140.

Price is considered cheap compared to Singapore, but Jalan Alor is meant for tourists and the price here is slightly higher. What it offers is a one stop convenience to savour all the good food. Yummy experience!

Before we head back, we thought we should try some durians. Bad choice, we chose a watery durian which sucks. Should have spent more to buy Mao Shan Wang, but there are better place to try durians.

We bid Jalan Alor good night, but crowds are still streaming in.

Additional tips :
– GPS N03.14468, E101.71374
– Opening hours of Jalan Alor food street seems to be 24 hours (cannot confirm)
– Due to the crowd, we felt relatively safe walking along Jalan Alor
– Hold on to the little ones, as cars can still drive slowly along the street
– More food photos can be found on our KL Day 2 photo album
