KL - Petronas Towers, malls and food

The day started with a bit of yoga for Anna in the hotel. We then ventured out to a local cafe with a promising reputation. The coffee was great, but sadly no soy or coconut milk available, so it wasn’t all that great...

To make up for it, we walked towards the Petronas Twin towers, which are within walking distance of our hotel. On the wat we grabbed a Starbucks coffee and also visited the KLCC Park - as the name suggests, it is a city park near the Petronas Towers. What makes it special is that it is one of the few green patches in Kuala Lumpur - which is much less green than Singapore was. 🌳

The Petronas Towers were great! The visit takes about 45 minutes and we got to visit the sky bridge (170m above ground) that connects the two towers as well as the observation deck at the top (383m). We were lucky that there were no clouds today and so the views from the top were fantastic! 😎

On the way back to the hotel we stopped by in another mall for some Chinese street food for a late lunch. Tired from the day, we then went home for a nap in the afternoon 😴

Finally, in the evening we picked an Indian restaurant for dinner. The food was great, prepared right in front of us, but more spicy than we anticipated :-) But we were not deterred and continued our food experiments: after weeks of hearing about it, smelling it and seeing it being forbidden in public transport (due to its strong odor), we finally got ourselves some durian fruit!! It was nice, but didn’t really impress us too much. (And when you eat it, the smell really isn’t so nice :-)). But hey, at least now we know what all the fuss is about :-)Read more
