Fresh Kuala Lumpur Travel Insights: Honest Reviews on Food, Culture, and Attractions

1. Before going to Kuala Lumpur, I thought it was run-down and shabby, but after arriving, I found it full of skyscrapers, not even worse than the Bund…
2. McDonald’s Road is near Pavilion, very busy with traffic, and all the people taking photos there are Chinese, joining in the trend and checking in.

3. The Petronas Twin Towers look spectacular to the naked eye, and below the towers, there are photographers with fill lights, asking if you want a photo. Remember to bargain and don’t be fooled. The photography skills are decent but somewhat formulaic. The photo spots are on the roads, which can be quite dangerous as the street racers in Kuala Lumpur are pretty wild.

4. Pavilion is great for shopping, and there’s a rotating screen with Jennie’s Chanel ad, worth checking in. When we went, there seemed to be a car show, which was pretty cool.
5. For getting around, besides walking, it’s mostly by taxi, using Grab. Prices go up during peak hours. If you book a 6-seater but have luggage, you can only fit 4 people.

Also, the traffic in Kuala Lumpur is extremely congested, especially around Pavilion, where cars barely move…
6. Ella’s same Tg’s bistro roti tissue is actually not bad, served with a small bowl of condensed milk, sweet and salty. It gets dry and cloying if you eat too much, but for 10RM to take a photo, it’s totally fine.

The restaurant doesn’t allow changing seats; if you want a roadside seat, you have to wait. This place seems to survive on the trend of Chinese tourists checking in…
(However, the area around this place is quite dirty and chaotic, so women should travel in groups. A group of beautiful girls sitting at a roadside table were harassed by a passing homeless person, apparently wanting their roti tissue, which was quite scary 😥)

Haven’t used cash in a long time, but the texture of Malaysian banknotes is quite good.
8. Didn’t find much good food in Kuala Lumpur, either tasteless or with a strong herbal medicine flavor, maybe just not to my liking.
9. Finally met Lee Min-ho, whom I’ve liked for over a decade. After personally judging him, I want to tell you he is truly the most handsome, this guy is incredibly handsome in person, completely different from his online photos 😭

Buying a SIM card at the airport is very convenient, simple English communication is enough, but my old Apple phone already had poor signal, and with Celcom, it still lost signal multiple times in the city…

    I totally agree about the Petronas Twin Towers—seeing them in person is breathtaking, and the photographers with lights down below are a unique touch. Also, I found McDonald’s Road to be chaotic but fascinating; it’s interesting how so many tourists from China make it a must-visit spot.

    The contrast between KL’s modern skyline and its traditional aspects is fascinating. I didn’t realize how popular McDonald’s Road is among Chinese tourists for photos. The Petronas Towers确实 impressive, though the surrounding hustle feels chaotic.
