^ from KL sentral, sakay kayo ng LRT sis, baba kayo ng Pasar Seni (Central Market)

[iwannaknow]

Hi, sis phurple! meron bang ok na hotel near mid valley megamall na hindi masyadong pricey? hihi.   nagback read kasi ako and nasabi mo na malayo pa pala sa bukit bintang ang mid valley. eh, balak kasi namin na mag-rainforest na lang sana. pero kung sobrang layo naman, wag na lang. thanks!

[bebeloo]

For those who are going to visit Legoland, I already blogged about my experience, some tips, and budget for your planning.

[phurple0515]

^^ naku sis, wala akong alam e. sensya na   if you want, around KL sentral siguro, isang sakay ka na lang ng train (KTM) or bus.  pwede rin naman sa rainforest e,  from Raja Chulan, take the monorail to KL sentral tapos from KL sentral, same as I mentioned.

or cab na lang pauwi. 

[kharla]

ask ko naman mga sis ok ba sa Sunbow Residency Hotel? mukhang ok kasi sa pictures. how to get there from terminal bersepadu selatan? tia

[supladitang cute]

wOrth it ba magpunta ng putrajaya ?? If ever kasi dadayuhin panmin sya? How to go to berylls factory from sky hotel??

[phurple0515]

^^ actually, I have not seen Sunbow yet and when I checked their site, sa 10th floor pa pala ng building ang hotel, so meaning hindi talaga siya isang buong bldg. Isang floor lang siya.  It's in Bukit Bintang so siguro nasa looban coz di ko pa nga nakikita, hehe.  To get there from TBS, you need to take the LRT (ang kunin niyo na fare na is going to Bukit Bintang) baba kayo ng Hang Tua, then lipat kayo ng Monorail papuntang Bukit Bintang.  then lakarin niyo na lang.

^ Putrajaya is a ghost town during weekends, but if you want to see some architectural designs of the bldg, ok naman, pero walang public transpo. doon but cab.  meron bus pero madalang at malalayo ang babaan.  Government offices kasi karamihan sa Putrajaya sis.

Beryls from Sky Hotel, alam ko wala rin public transpo to Beryls factory (Chocolate Factory).  Cab na lang kayo siguro.

[travelling_daisy]

Hello mga sis!  My family will be travelling to KL this March 2013. I am planning to go to Purajaya. Ask ko lang po yung taxi tour sa Putrajaya, ilang hours po yun? Literally tour ba sya while on the taxi at di ka pwede bumaba to take pictures around? Parang iiikot ka lang tapos yun na? If also anyone know how much is the rate and where can I book it? Thank you.

[phurple0515]

^ parang nabasa ko sa isang blog is RM30 one hour pero iikot ka lang, ikaw magsasabi where you want to stop, of course unless mabait yong taxi driver or hihingan kayo ng extra charge.  Pagbaba mo ng KLIA transit, you can just inform the kiosk that you want to rent the cab to take you around tapos magbabayad ka na lang don.

there are other travel agencies here who give Putrajaya tour.  you can check out journeymalaysia.com

Baka March ang election dito so Putrajaya will be busy that time, unless gawin ang election dito ng mas maaga.

thanks sis phurple0515! still undecided if sunbow or rainforest kami stay. =) may I ask kung pano pumunta from those hotels to KL LCCT? mgkalapit lang ba the 2 hotels? tia

[phurple0515]

^ sis, magkalayo.  you can actually check directions from previous pages.  nadiscuss na kasi dati siya.  pero from LCCT, take the bus to KL Sentral, then from KL sentral, take the monorail to Raja Chulan (if Rainforest) or Bukit Bintang (if Sunbow).

Try backreading sis, you can get more info

JuSt got back from my super Puyatan trip from malaysia. We were able to go to the ff places:
Batu caves, genting, legoland, hello kitty land, putrajaya, twin towers and roam around bukit bintangand chinatown. Sobrang bitin lang sa shoppong pero masaya. Adventure kasi yung map nila is nOt as helpful as the Ones in hongkong Or mas madali lang talaga sa hk. I enjoyed the transport system as well. Yung train to klia parang bullet train. Nakakatuwa! We utilized it well. All the train lines nasakyan namin. Everytime naliligaw kami, to the rescue ang mga Polis. Nakakatuwa. Enjoyed putrajaya. Was also able to buy vnc flats at 50% off!
taxi tour to putrajaya is 39 for an hour pero we gave tip pa sa driver kasi nakakatuwa si tatay driver ang bait bait. Dami tuloy namin napuntahAn. Ang galing tLaga ng govt nla. Hands down ako. I've been to thAiland, hk, macau, sg, dubAi and africa. But isa eto sa mga natuwa ako. Don't know why others say na hindi sila masyado natuwa pero for me, ok ang malaysia.never din kami nakaencounter ng bad taxi driver. Di na kami nahirPan makipag haggle. Kahit .20 cents binbigay sukli. Yung isa ngang driver 19 bill pero 17 na lang bill sa  amin. Nakaktuwa! Ang layo sa plipinas, nakakalungkot. Pati train and expressways very nice talaga! Bitin ang stay namin. Sana merong life chili sauce dito i missed buying it in the grocery.

[kharla]

thanks sis phurple! sis bebeloo, I read your blog and its so helpful since we are also going to Legoland from SG then from Legoland, diretso na rin KL. Thanks for the tips! =)

[phurple0515]

^^ madami nga nagsasabi na Malaysia is not what they expected it to be.  The government is now doing many things kasi to erase the impression na it's not tourist friendly.  They are now strict sa mga taxi na nag-ha-haggle around KL city area.  Then, the shopping, masaya, hehe

Wala pa bang Life chili dyan sis?  If I remember it correctly, yong Life sauce nila dito lagi gamit kasi hindi uso dito ketchup, esp. banana ketchup

[supladitang cute]

Yup sis. Pansin ko nga sa mga Asian countries na napintahan ko sa kfc ph Lang ang may gravy. Nalungkot Lang ako kasi Hindi pala lahat nay teh Tarik na cold na sineserve. Relative to hk mas mura pa rin talaga dito than in hk. Like ko din sky hotel. Wala Lang bfast but we loved the location and room. Kelan pb sale sa my other than the Yes?

[phurple0515]

sale din dito sis pag 2 mos. bago Hari Raya, so that would be around mid June to August 8 or 9 next year. 

pwede mo i-request na iced yong teh tarik mo sa kfc ba yon?  yong gravy naman, pwede ka manghingi.
