Good morning! First morning of my solo trip to KL, and I'm feeling cosy in my single room! I love that the window is just next to my bed, and there is a small table where I can put all my things on, and even have my morning coffee on. The street view is not too bad either. The morning view is a lot more normal as compared to the night. Students can be seen making their way to school, old people walking to the market, and workers hurrying to their work place. Pretty normal neighbourhood.
If I look further, I can see the new sky scrapper of KL, the mobile-phone looking tall building. It's pretty stunning, and I still don't know what is its name, or where is it, or what is it for. It looks pretty cool, yes, but that was about it. Still, it was nice to get the view of it in my 32SGD room.
Breakfast was some reduced-to-clear cheese cake I got from Donki last night, and drip coffee that I've brought along with me. I may carry just a backpack, but I got all my comfort things in it, things that makes my trip more relaxing and comfortable. Good coffee happens to be one of them, and tea, and even milo....
I tend to be an early riser, and the place I wanted to go doesn't open till 10am, and it's only a 15minutes walk or so from my hotel. So I made myself comfortable in the room and decided to watch TV. I really love the table lamp. The soft light really made the whole place so cosy. It was also on the hotel photo when I booked the room, so kudos for giving the customer what they saw in the booking site!
The TV options was pretty good, but I wasn't much of a TV person. But I saw this korean cartoon on one of the channel, and it happens to be those short cartoon that I love watching. So I spend my morning watching cartoon on a pretty good quality TV! Did I mentioned that my own home in Malaysia does not have a TV, nor an air-con? This cheap hotel was pretty luxury for me!
Around 9am or so, I decided to venture out. Above is the view of Bukit Bintang during day time. I like the monorail train going by among the tall buildings. It did looked pretty futuristic! But the traffic jam was still there. The train wasn't really that packed every time I took it. I guess cars are cheaper, and so is petrol. So everyone kinda just have their own car and drive.
I went to explore Lot10. There is a connector between the Bukit Bintang LRT station with Lot10, as well as Sungai Wang. Lot10 is more 'atas' and has an Isetan inside, Donki, as well as a Japanese food court among many other stores. Sungai Wang was more local. It has Giant, lots of small shops, a cheap local foodcourt, and MiniNature, which was the miniature museum I was going to.
But it was still super early, so I went around and took some photos of whatever I find interesting. Like this super big teddy bear. Don't know what it was for, really.
I also found the Chinese Food Court that my ex-colleague mentioned. It was at the basement of Lot10, and according to him, it has delicious food at a very affordable price. So when I saw the sign, of course I went downstairs to check it out.
It was indeed a themed food court, very nicely done. The food offered were chinese and some local selections too. But the price was more like Singapore foodcourt price! I was not gonna pay 15rm for a plate of noodles! After staying in Penang, everything in this foodcourt was expensive to me! It's a hard NO for me.
I came across this cute Donki mural at Lot10, and it's Malaysia specific, so I took one shot for souvenir sake.
There was also a weird Durian themed cafe. It looked plasticky, so again, it's a NO for me!
I did see the above and was interested. But it was not open yet, so I just took the photo, thinking I'll come and try it if I have the chance. Unfortunately, I never did. I found something even better that afternoon at another location call LaLPort! More on that coming soon.
After wondering around Lot10, I cross the road and went into Giant to browse around. It's amazing what you can find when you have too much time to kill. I think I bought a Korean Spicy Chicken Sauce there, and I recall it was delicious! I also got some superheroes packaging tissue paper cause I forgot to bring some along.... Anyway, around 10am, I make my way upstairs to look for the miniature museum. The next (or next few) post will just be about the museum, cause it was one of the most fun placed I've visitied! Stay tune!
