Day 1 : KL

ok ok i'm going to quickly recap the last 8 days of our trip.

we arrived in KL very safe and sound. Jumped into a taxi which cost us rm105!! thats like $35! a bit of a rip off but we let it go because we just wanted to be at the hotel as soon as possible. we went to KL last year and the taxi only cost us rm80/$25 or so. some killer inflation must of hit.

arrived at our favourite KL hotel - traders!! love love LOVE this place. [ask my kl friends, we always stay here for some reason]. great service, super clean rooms, very modern, free internet with printing servive [ great for online check ins and stuff] free shuttle to klcc.

we went to klcc shopping centre to scout our sales and bargains. few here and there but we wanted to wait for hk for the hardcore shopping. and hard core shopping we did. i have a seriously SICK credit card [which will need fixing up asap in perth]

for dinner we wanted something really local tasting, street style food with great ambience, so our concierge recommended jalan alor. so we went. what we found was a street jammed packed from both sides with food stalls, only a thin stream of cars can go through because the pedestrians were thick on the ground.

how do you choose which stall to patronise? you choose the busiest one of them all! a large crowd means good food right? anyways it turns out every stall pretty much sold the same thing, with flavours pretty similar to each other. We ordered a small crab, a beef claypot kong po style and some chicken satay. the crab & beef were fantastic, the chicken satay was a bit dry and the peanut sauce was a little thin - thumbs down.

then we slowly walked out way back to the hotel with our tummies very full...
