Been to KL over the long Labour Day weekend with Fadhil, Ahmed and Mir. It was originally supposed to be a climbing trip, so we stayed at One Avenue in Petaling Jaya, which is about 10 min walk away from One Utama AND CAMP 5! Sadly, the short time we have there and with 2 men down (me and my injured tendon and Mir's weak knees), we can't climb much. The night we arrived, we just went to lepak under our hotel at Al-Safa, the local mamak. It sells pretty smooth shisha (and cheap, at just RM13 for a pineapple top). A wide variety of food is served here as well, from the local Mee Goreng to Indian cuisine to Western fare to suit everyone's palates. The next night, after our climb, we decided to check out some nearby nightspots. During dinner at Fish&Co, we asked some of the service crew about it. (Lets skip the saga about me embarrassing myself and getting the weird stares.) We got hits on the Laundry Bar, and some other names I can't remember. So basically, the places are all at the Curve, a shopping cluster just further up One Utama. We took a RM5 cab down to the place, and explored around a bit. It's rather empty by that time (12am-ish?) but the Laundry was still going hot (somewhat) with loud club music. They do have a rather interesting cocktail list, including absinthe which is really hard to find in Singapore. Tried one, but the mix was too sweet for my liking. The atmosphere is great though, especially for people that love loud music but too lazy to dance. Fadhil and I went to KLCC region the next day while Med&Mirwent2visitthereuncle. Armed with an Iphone and the CoffeeBean Wifi, we charged through the raging traffic (Jaywalking here proves to be a rather stressful ordeal, though incomparable to China). Went through Jalan P.Ramlee, the supposed club place, but it's totally dead in the day. Getting bored and Fadhil angsty as hell looking for food, we cut into this alley leading to the Pavillion. It was a pretty cozy street, with some decent eateries and offbeat stores. Went exploring around the Pavillion after food, and we found a Iraqi restaurant that serves hookah/shisha. It was a tad more expensive here, but the smoke was tasteful and the drinks (I got the dough, a salty yogurt drink and Fad something with apple cider and cucumber) retained the authenticity of its origins. The bill was RM66 in total, and still cheaper than one pot in Singapore. Later at night, we went through Bukit Bintang in search of the bars at Changkat Bukit Bintang, and getting lost all along the way. Stumbled into a Chinese eatery street/night market, which I would love to explore the next time I'm there. When we finally found our way to Changkat, we were pretty awed by the atmosphere there. Imagine Clark Quay in a Holland Village setting. There were so many bars to choose from, we went up and down a few times before settling down at The Whisky Bar. It's a small wooden structure with a outlandish feel to it. One of the quietest bars along the street, there's only soft music being played. It has an extensive selection of whiskys to offer, and the liquor is served on a plate with water and ball ice for whisky tasting. We then went for foot reflexology, which is abundant along a street off Bukit Bintang. This is definitely great, especially after a day of shopping along the region. Oh, and apparently there's many budget hotels and such in the area, which is about RM150 or less for 4 a night. At 3am, as we were leaving the place, hookers could be seen around every corner, so if anyone's into such... Well, one thing that's a waste is we did not get to club. As we were driving off on the cab, we went past Jalan P.Ramlee and wow, it was alive. The driver commented that it's usually even more crowded, so I guess I'd definitely go there the next time. This is pretty much everything about the KL trip. If anyone's going to have fun, do some research on the hotels, you would want to be close to the hot spots.fengmao; 08:26
