\"\"<\/a>Travelling Ving is back!
\nThis KL short trip actually happened before the recent Hong Kong<\/a> trip.<\/p>\n

We chose Hotel Capitol<\/strong> for its awesome location in Bukit Bintang area, plus with good room rates.
\n(It’s located just next to Sungei Wang Shopping Centre and Low Yat Plaza, and only a 5-minute walk to Berjaya Times Square, Pavilion, and the Monorail station.)<\/p>\n

First meal in KL was at U-Village Hong Kong Restaurant<\/strong>, situated just across our hotel.
\nAddress: LB \u2013 R1, Sungei Wang Plaza, Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100
\nPhone: (+03) 2148-9686
\n\"\"<\/a>Their char siew is a must-try!
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>After a hearty lunch, shopping time!
\nFirst stop — Berjaya Times Square<\/strong>
\nAddress: 1 Jalan Imbi\u00a0\u00a055100 Kuala Lumpur
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\n\u8bb8\u7559\u5c71!
\n\"\"<\/a>As usual, night snacks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n\"\"<\/a>Day 2’s lunch was at Delicious<\/strong> (there’s an outlet in Singapore’s Scotts Square).
\nUnfortunately, it wasn’t much of what the name suggests.
\nAddress: Bangsar Village II, 2 Jalan Telawi 1\u00a0\u00a0Bangsar, 59100 Kuala Lumpur
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We decided to head elsewhere for desserts.
\nI’d read about this cafe called Antipodean Cafe<\/strong> with rather good reviews, hence gave it a shot.
\nAddress: 20 Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur<\/p>\n

Menu on the wall! They are known for their brunch items too.
\n\"\"<\/a>Lemon Meringue Tart + Sticky Date Pudding. Both SEDAP…….
\n\"\"<\/a>Bangsar Village<\/strong> is equivalent to our Holland Village, with many cafes\/restaurants\/bakeries\/shop-houses\/retail shops.
\nWhile exploring the area, we came across this rather cool multi-label boutique called Seethrough<\/strong>.
\nThey carry mainly Asian designers’ stuff, with quite a number of Singapore designers too! (eg. my favorite local label Depression<\/strong>)
\nAddress: 25-1 Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar<\/p>\n

Ving bought this skulls-filled punk style pull-over from a Jakarta designer!
\nIt’s a ‘lil too hot for Singapore’s weather though.
\nI can’t wait to wear it to cooler countries!
\n\"\"<\/a>Jalan Alor<\/strong> for dinner! Many zi-char stalls for you to choose from.
\n\"\"<\/a>Rise & shine for Day 3 of the trip!
\nLunch was at one of my favorite restaurants in KL. Madam Kwan’s<\/strong> (Pavilion’s outlet)!!!
\n(This year they opened their very first overseas outlet in Vivo City!)
\nWe actually saw Madam Kwan herself!!! *fangirl mode on*<\/p>\n

Address: 168 Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur
\n\"\"<\/a>Belachan. Rendang. Assam. *droolsss*
\n\"\"<\/a>I’ve no idea what I was doing.
\n(That dessert’s from Madam Kwan’s, though.)
\n\"\"<\/a>Shopping time!
\nI love toys\/figurines, if you haven’t already noticed from my previous posts.
\n(Wait a minute. Have I mentioned about it in my previous posts? Ok whatever. I LOVE TOYS\/FIGURINES<\/strong>. There… Now you know.)
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I ended up getting this big Line plushie for free! Super cute!
\n(It’s still in its original box, at a corner of my room. Couldn’t bear to dirty it!)
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Batman and Superman (in between the 2 adults) patrolling the city.
\nGetting ready for Justice League already?
\n(Pardon the super bad resolution.)
\n\"\"<\/a>KLCC has this toilet which you’ll need to pay RM2 to enter.
\nVing checked it out to see what’s so great about it.
\nVerdict: If that’s for RM2, Ion Orchard’s toilets can charge each human S$2 to enter.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Last dinner in KL at Kampachi<\/strong>!
\nAddress:
\n\"\"<\/a>We had the honour to try the King of Tea.
\n\"\"<\/a>It’s so light, it felt like drinking plain water that’s slightly sweeter.
\nReal smooth down your throat.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>This convenience store opposite our hotel sells past issues of magazines at really cheap prices, even when it’s just past a month.
\nAs usual, I couldn’t resist.
\n\"\"<\/a>Last meal in KL at U-Village HK Cafe<\/strong>! =(
\n\"\"<\/a>Sky’s on fire.
\n\"\"<\/a>Till next time!!! Can’t wait for my next overseas trip already!!!
\nWhen’s it gonna be???
