Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur is known for its skyscrapers and cultural diversity. Rise to the top of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers–the world’s tallest twin towers; or brave the glass-bottomed viewing box at the Sky Deck in KL Tower!

A city bustling with excitement from day to night, Kuala Lumpur offers you a splashing good time at Sunway Lagoon. Spend time walking up the steps of the Batu Caves, a picturesque limestone hill. A melting pot of culture from all over the world, the local cuisine is bound to tantalize your taste buds! Simply go on a street food hunt and you’ll understand why. To escape the heat, take a day trip to Genting Highlands, a hilltop City of Entertainment.

KLIA Ekspres Airport Train Tickets (QR Code Direct Entry)
I was so satisfied. First of all, the train departs on time, so you can use it without delays or traffic jams. Even travelers who are not familiar with geography in an unfamiliar environment can easily find it by following the dark pink signs! Oh, and if you use the friend invitation code below, you can get discounts over 4200 won! Invite a friend code (invite code): 2U37MW

Latest Recipe at Le Méridien Putrajaya
It's a very good experience, and a favorable price. The food and seafood are diversified and fresh, and the environment is also very good👍. On-site staff will also provide disposable gloves for guests to take food to avoid cross-infection with meal clips. Epidemic prevention measures are OK. Will go to experience again!

Sunway Lagoon
Convenient and simple to use, the "Sunway Lagoon", a collection of playgrounds, water parks, and zoos, can meet your three requirements at once. However, due to the off-season, many equipment are closed and suspended. What is more special is the only "SpongeBob SquarePants" in Asia. The theme water park Ps needs to pay attention to that the locals are more conservative and don’t wear too naked

I'Milky in Malaysia
Drink was nice my aunt love it she say is very tasty. Service was friendly and they even draw image on the cup which i find it very cute. Purchase Through klook is always value in money all the price is lower compare to purchase straight away in the store. But when I was there the shop was doing some promotion purchase any drink in full price and u can get 2nd cup for rm3 for brown sugar bubble milk. Atmosphere is fine as it is always the same no Mather which branch u go to.
