When I went to KL

Well, hello you buddy!
It is so happy for me to catch you up again here. FYI, I have made some stories to tell you about what happened to me so far factually. There are more up and down, tears and laugh. Phew! So many things to tell in fact, the pity part is I was too lazy to continue each story I began to write.
Right here right now I am telling you about my vacation in Kuala Lumpur last week. It was short vacation anyway, Sat to Mon.

It became one of my unforgettable trips for some reasons:
1. That was my first visit to KL or Malaysia.
2. That was for the first time I went vacation with buddies with two friends, I usually going vacation with myself or just two.
3. That was my first vacay without having maximal research before thus I was too rely on my friend.
4. That was first time for me to feel how painful being failed getting to main destination.

However, the trip experienced me something new and as usual I got so many insights. One thing I love from traveling, including this, is that I learnt about culture, life and soon.
Ok, Ladies and Gents, here it is my glimpse of my story visiting KL.

Food and Beverages
As Indonesian, i love to eat rice off course. When I feel so crave for food so much, nasi is kinda my pain killer. In KL you can easily find nasi lemak, it was just like nasi uduk in Jakarta but I tasted it lil bit more buttery or greasy. I love the texture and the taste. For me personally nasi lemak is too hardcore when paired with teh tarik! But they are couple in Malaysia anyway. Nasi lemak suits best with es lemmo which can help cleansing your tongue once you want try other dishes.


Influenced more with Indian cuisine, the street food I found during walk around is having kari taste. I love the unique of Kari as it gives me aromatic or even exotic sense for me. But when you go around and then find kari again and then find again and then kari again and then whatever you order gives you kari inside, both lil and more! You then miss light food, for example: soup or bakso! Heheh. Kari is everywhere. From prata, bread, mee goreng, and even gorengan just like pastel in Indonesia. They love to give kari inside!

I was super impressed to see the way they make a take away drink! So clever!


There is one thing I love when talking about food. This is what I like is not food actually but beverage. I found es lemmo. You know what es lemoo is? Well, it is ‘jeruk limau’ in Indonesia that is made into kinda ‘es jeruk’. Oh.. the jeruk limau which is well know as one of ingredient to make good chili sambal is way better to be a beverage than jeruk nipis. The taste is not so sour as jeruk nipis and the aroma is very lovely. You gotta make it, guys!

The City
I stay in Berjaya Time Square area which is on of the center of the city. It is pretty strategic enough because we can reach some popular spot in KL easily. The city itself is lovely, but not that lovely as Singapore which is so instagramable in every corner, KL is way neater than Jakarta. For I stayed there for three days I didn’t see any traffic jam even though it was Monday. I didn’t see many motorcycles around the city. I saw many people walking on foot, using public transportation such as monorail.

Yess, lovely, wasn’t it? but if you wish just like Singapore, you will be disappointed. KL is neater, cleaner, than Jakarta. I love how big city like KL has a park and even bird, and butterfly park that is well maintained.

However, when we are talking about tourism object they offers, I think Jakarta has more tourism objects than KL and we have more interesting things here. The cons just in Jakarta we cant reach each of them easily by public transportation. Meanwhile in KL is so possible to go to each by public transportation.

People
People is nice. You will meet Chinese, Melayu and India! Feels like home laah in KL since there are so many Indonesian also. We can meet them easily in monorail, street, mall, or station.

Price!
Having vacation is always related to spending money. The goodnews is that the price is just like Jakarta. Same laaaah. Mineral water? Food? Coffee? Aaah.. same! Don’t give too much worry.

Well, let us take a tour to these randoms pic I took while be there.
