Bacha Coffee at KLCC
#familytrips2024
Love their professional way of handling the queue. I loved the grandeur ambiance and the Moroccan heritage vibe when entering Bacha Coffee at KLCC.
Exceptional taste of coffee. You'll be spoilt for choice here. They have a wide range of coffee selections and also some food. Cakes selection is very limited too whereby croissants are mostly served.
The pistachio croissant was great. I would definitely recommend it and plan to return.
Our dream destination is to go to Hong Kong for my family trip as Hong Kong is paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of culinary delights. My family will enjoy it very much.
Again at KLCC 🗼🗼
KLCC Tower @Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia
Once again walking in KLCC..❤️
Walking here never gets tired because it is always beautiful to the eyes.
To be honest, the view of KLCC from afar is really beautiful at night..
Spend the night at Ideas Hotel, a hotel with simple decoration but beautiful and clean, the price is quite cheap.
Stopped for dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel to spend the remainder of the membership voucher that was about to expire..hehehe 😂😅

Malay Cuisine at Open House, KLCC
Ambiance: You step in through a small door in front of the KLCC fountain, next to Acme. You're presented with a fork - get into a lift or up a sleek spiral staircase. Upon reaching the first floor, you're presented with a gorgeous view of the KLCC area. Scattered around are well spaced tables across differing sections of the restaurant. Truly a high end feel. Deco is well thought out and incredibly tasteful!
Food: I am, for the most part, truly impressed with their plates. I always figured that I had a generally good idea of local herbs, produce, and spices but was I proven wrong!
The largest Chinese New Year Celebration in Suria KLCC
Suria KLCC
241, Petronas Twin Tower, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Fortunately, we have reserved the Hotel Traders near to Suria KLCC during eve of Lunar Chinese New Year, which is only 5 minutes to take a ride of Buggy from Hotel to KLCC. There is musical fountains right in front of Suria KLCC, rabbit has been designed by traditional Chinese coins, plenty of traditional Chinese customs decoration, designs and culture, including lion dance.
Even the 4th day of Chinese New Year, I have to visit local bank to have ATM credit card renewal at 2 different banks, it is very convenient as I do not need to travel from one place to another place due to time constraint.
Mostly all shops are opened although it is public holiday, a lot of tourists from different countries are celebrating Chinese New Year in this area.

1) The iconic KLCC Twin Towers
2) In KLCC Twin Towers, they also have huge shopping mall which is Suria KLCC and other worthy attractions; Aquaria KLCC & Petrosains (for kids to learn science in practical)
3) KL Tower / Menara Kuala Lumpur
4) Visiting Saloma bridge at night
5) Walk around Petaling Street night market and
6) River of Life nearby Petaling street
There are many other attractions & places worth going, but half-past midnight was limit for us🥲 Nevertheless, such a good experience sightseeing these places at night.

Dotty's Pastries & Coffee KLCC ☕️🍩
Always keep coming back for their pastries. The service was fast eventho there is queue (waiting time around 15 mins) during lunch time on weekdays. The restaurant has online menu and ordering system which is good and speed up the service. 👍🏻
You can order main menu or drinks but need to choose your dessert on the counter and they will served it right away. 👀
Recommended to try their salted egg cronut. Try their salted egg yolk cronut, totally nice and delicious. Fall in love with this cafe, the service and the food here tiptop. Will come again here. Cozy and relax. I try as well Red Velvet Latte. Taste just nice and rare to find it. Best time to come here during tea time. Really enjoy their coffee and pastry heree! 😍✨

Great Place to snap sopme pictures!
Beautiful park and relaxing environment in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre
Best place for family bonding time
Lovely area at the back of the Mall and twin towers. Nice walking paths and a large fountain. We were told that in the evening music is played at the fountains with lights, unfortunately we did not venture there.
Amazing park, it’s just beautiful. Whatever you go there to do you will absolutely enjoy it, walking, running, seating on a bench and just chill.
Just go there and you will have a good time.
Also grab a bite at the restaurants and cafes facing the parking, take photos with the twin towers.
Enjoy the beautiful fountain.

CHRISTMAS & HOLIDAY SEASON!
THIS YEAR, WE WERE IN KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA FOR CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
WE STAYED AT SHANGRI-LA HOTEL FOR 4 DAYS AND THE HOTEL IS PERFECTLY SITUATED IN THE HEART OF THE KUALA LUMPUR CITY. WE WERE VERY SATISFIED WITH ITS CONVENIENT LOCATION. IT WAS EASY TO MOVE AROUND KUALA LUMPUR.
DURING OUR 4 DAYS, WE HAD THE TIME TO RELAX BY THE POOLSIDE IN THE HOTEL'S TROPICAL GARDENS AND STAY CONNECTED WITH OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS OVER DRINKS IN THE SUN-DRENCHED LOUNGE.
I EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO REJUVENATE MYSELF AT THE HEALTH CLUB AND SPA IN THE HOTEL.
BREAKFAST BUFFET WAS SOMETHING THAT WE LOOKED FORWARD TO EVERY MORNING. THEY HAVE WIDE VARIETY OF FOOD SELECTIONS DURING BREAKFAST AND THE FOODS WERE DELICIOUS.

Pullman KLCC Hotel & Residences
We booked a one-bedroom apartment that comes with King bed and a kitchenette in Kuala Lumpur, this option allows up to 3 adults to stay in. Do note that the bedroom apartment, it is a separate lobby and breakfast area from the hotel guests. The apartment area is slightly dated compared to hotel lobby. However, this did not affect the experience of our stay.
I have to say the service was almost flawless. Upon checked in, I requested for a slice of complimentary birthday cake for my friend. They managed to accede to it secretly and we managed to surprise our friend on the second night of our stay. The only downside was a leftover used toothbrush by previous guest in the shower area which was left unnoticed during turnover. We just left it untouched, not of a big issue to us.
The breakfast spread was better than expected, especially the pastry area! Next to the breakfast place, you can find gym, swimming pool and a game room for the toddler as well as adult. All these are free of charge, simply register your room number and remove your shoes before entering.
Overall, we will definitely be back to the hotel for another stay as the front desk staff are really helpful and the hotel location is also quite strategic.

Timothy cafe

Avg. Price per Person - RM 40+ which is quite expensive for standard cafe
Rating - 4 ☆
Taste and vibe is fine but to repeat, is unlikely. Would love to try other cafe.

KLCC- healing with love
The KLCC Park is a metropolitan park located in Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Overlooking the Suria shopping complex and the Petronas Towers, the lush greenery of the urban park adds a natural flavour to the otherwise paved and cemented urban neighbourhood.
The park draws considerable attention from tourists and residents alike. The man-made lake, Lake Symphony, is probably the biggest attraction in the park. The contrast created both between the surrounding greenery of the park and the urban design and lush flora inside the garden is a wonder to behold.
The park also has a variety of functional features like a jogging track replete with resting benches, waterfalls, fountains, and a children’s playground. The overall design of the park is unapologetically inclusive, and you can have a surreal experience at this park as it is loaded with greenery.

Experiencing at Chinatown in klcc
Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur has a history of more than 200 years. It was founded by a Yap Ah Loy, an earliest Chinese settlement in Kuala Lumpur since early 19th century.
Nowadays, It his china town becomes a popular destination place for both locals and tourists come to Kuala Lumpure, It is interesting place for street food and perhaps a pint of beer at one of the Chinese restaurants. Beside street food, there are quite a few air conditioned restaurants that have nice coffee too. One can also chill out at the bar on the 8th floor of the Sheraton Four Point Hotel nearby. It has a good view of the neighbourhood and we have a great experience.

A Day in Kuala Lumpur
I woke up to the vibrant energy of Kuala Lumpur, the city bustling with life. After a quick breakfast at a nearby café, I set off to explore the heart of the city.
My first stop was the iconic KLCC. As I approached, the majestic Petronas Twin Towers loomed overhead, glimmering in the morning sun. I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos before heading into the Suria KLCC mall. I wandered through the shops, admiring local handicrafts and indulging in a bit of retail therapy.
After some shopping, I took a leisurely stroll through the KLCC Park. The lush greenery offered a refreshing contrast to the urban landscape. Children played in the fountains, and joggers weaved through the paths. I found a bench and sat for a moment, soaking in the beauty around me.
As the sun set, I made my way back to KLCC. The towers lit up against the night sky, casting a magical glow over the city. I took a moment to reflect on my day, feeling grateful for the vibrant experiences Kuala Lumpur had to offer. It was a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and stunning sights.
Night view from Kuala Lumpur Park
I prefer walking here during night time. The view was very beautiful as the building turnse into different colors.

The Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) area is a vibrant blend of modernity, culture, and nature right in the heart of the Malaysian capital. Known for the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, the KLCC area offers stunning views, luxury shopping, and plenty of attractions for a memorable city stroll. Start your journey at Suria KLCC Mall with its high-end shops and diverse dining options. The mall also houses the Petrosains Science Discovery Centre and Aquaria KLCC, both family-friendly attractions.
Stroll through the lush KLCC Park, a beautifully landscaped green space with walking paths, water fountains, and a playground, all set against the dramatic skyline of Kuala Lumpur. The Lake Symphony water fountain show at dusk is a must-see. For an art and culture fix, the Petronas Art Gallery showcases local and international artworks and is free to the public.
To finish, head up to the Sky Bridge and Observation Deck of the Petronas Towers for a breathtaking view of the city. With its mix of nature, art, shopping, and iconic architecture, a stroll through KLCC is a must for both locals and visitors looking to experience the essence of Kuala Lumpur.
