4 days, 3 nights, 2 guys, 1 city...

I was in KL recently with Melvin. We decided to get away from Penang and visit a few friends there while fulfilling our craving for the awesome fast-food that never came to our little island.

We took the Aeroline bus to KL and tested our navigational skills with the public transport. We eventually arrived at Sunway Pyramid and without hesitation rushed our asses to Wendy's. Nothing tasted better than a Wendy's burger at that very moment. Not even Ask Me Burger back home in Penang.

on board entertainment..

Wendy's vs Burger King

Penny came to the Pyramid and took us back to her place where we were crashing. After a long chat, we find ourselves at Asia Cafe. I had a less than satisfying bowl of Bibimbap which is a Korean dish while Melvin had his own disappointments in his orange juice. Watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice at 1Utama and went for supper at this nasi kandar place. The roti planta back in Penang tastes SO MUCH BETTER!

Korean Bibimbap vs Japanese Udon

Melvin and I went to Sunway Lagoon the very next day. I know its a little weird for two teenage boys to go to Sunway Lagoon together but then we were ditched by two others whose names I will not mention. the Lagoon is a lot different from how I remembered it to be but it was a pretty enjoyable day. I overcame my fear of that damn swinging Pirate Ship although the one at the Lagoon is nothing compared to the one I first sat in Australia's Sea World 9 years ago.


Dinner was at Asia Cafe again and this time I attempted Japanese udon. Not too bad. Joel Brown and Benny Ng were there too. PFS mini-reunion.

dessert that tastes like heaven!

We put our navigational skills to the test again by driving down to the heart of KL. We explored Sungei Wang Plaza, Berjaya Times Square, and Low Yatt Plaza. Walking down Bintang Walk, I cant help but feel like I'm in Singapore but only less developed. Like the Singapore 10 years ago. Dinner that night was at the highly recommended Murni. I would definitely go back there for a meal or two before I go to the states because the food there is as good as all my friends said it was and the menu is just full of variety.

Our final day was spent mostly in cars, buses, and planes. We took an AirAsia flight back to Penang and that was it. I'm definitely going to visit KL again before I leave this country and next time I'll include Genting Highlands in my plans. I'm also hoping to be able to visit Sabah and Sarawak.

This is by far the longest post ever this year and I'll leave you guys with some of the pictures I took. Till my next post, bye. =)
