sis^ ano po maisusuggest mo na magandang chocolate factory na within kuala lumpur lang or near the city itself?

[phurple0515]

sa beryl's chocolate factory dito sa KL sis.  though di ko pa napupuntahan kahit ang tagal ko na dito kasi available naman din kasi sa mga Famous Amos shops mga chocolates don.  of course, me free taste sa mga factories, hehe

How much kya taxi from airport to bukit bintang area?

[mozilla]

msta po ang haze sa KL? kasing lala ba ng sa SG? hay wrong timing etong trip namin..ngyaon pa dumaitng itogn haze na ito...

[phurple0515]

^ wala po ako sa KL ngayon, balik ko don sa Friday pa pero sabi ng hubby ko mausok rin pero di masyado.  Sa SG, nag-ki-clear na ang haze.  Umuulan din kasi sa hapon sa KL kaya di ganon kalala ang haze.

Siguro yong usual haze lang din every year from Sumatra.

Good day sisses
2x ko na binasa previous thread pero di ko pa rin alam kung pano ko gagawin ang IT ko...hehhe
We'll be in KL on sept. 1-4 with my hubby n 4yr. old son, kakabook ko lang today via CP and still planning for our IT.
mga sis ano ba marerecommend nyong places to visit na maeenjoy ng anak ko & base sa mga nabasa ko dito parang mas accessible kung sa bukit bintang area ako maghahanap ng hotel, tama ba? Balak pa namin mag SG via bus om our 3rd day, posible pa kaya, di kaya kami mabitin mga sis, 5:50pm dating nmin sa KL & leaving ng 630pm on the 4th?
TIA:)

hi sis Phuple Ive tried to search kung anong factory nga magandang puntahan and I saw Beryl's. matanong lang masarap choc'late nila?

[phurple0515]

^^^^sis Layzieg, depende sa oras, but the normal rates would be around RM70-90.  if from midnight to 6am, then it should be plus 50% of the rates, then around Rm100-150.

^^sis depende if you only plan of visiting KL or me balak ka bang pumunta ng Legoland or Hello Kitty land.  If you opt to go to SG via bus, ubos na agad ang 12 hrs mo or more sa byahe lang.  Mapapagod pa anak mo.  Unless you go to SG via plane.  at least less travel hours.  Kaya sa kaya, pero all will be in a hurry na.  If you plan of just staying here in KL, then i do suggest you check hotels around Bukit Bintang area (like Sky hotel, etc)

^ halos pare-pareho pero Beryls kasi ang sikat sa mga local chocolates nila e.  esp. the dark tiramisu with almond   pero kahit saang local chocolate factory, it is the same.

thanks sis phurple, 'ure really an angel sa thread na to
siguro nga we'll skip singapore trip, explore muna ang KL, i read in other blogs, must visit for kids ang Aquaria, okay ba dito sis? and magandang location ba ang time square in terms of accessability?

[X_03]

true sis good thing you are here very helpful and informative talaga. thank you at talagang ang patience kahit paulit ulit na ang questions

[phurple0515]

^^ yup, one of the sisses here actually mentioned kids will love the Aquaria.  I think sis, do a separate trip for SG, kasi 1 pag sa SG 1 day na agad for USS etc...then you can do sidetrip na rin sa Legoland and/or Hello Kitty Town since it is just in Johor, the boundary of Malaysia and SG, and very near SG actually.  you're welcome sis, i try to answer and help basta kaya ko, hehe..sensya nga lang medyo di agad nakakasagot and I'm not in KL right now.  Will only be back there on Friday.  Kaya in advance, malamang late ang sagot ko to whoever will be posting questions on Friday and Sat

sorry also, sis mozilla, i think i have spoken too soon.  Now the haze is in KL.  Today, is just bad, even schools have been declared closed kasi mas masahol pa daw sa SG.  Hubby mentioned to me nga na kahit sa loob ng office daw e mausok na.  Hopefully this will be gone before end of the week.  So everyone can enjoy the Mid Year sale in KL from June 29-September 1!  

^welcome and thanks sis x_03

[X_03]

oh no! hopefully nga mawala na yan wawa ang lungs niyong lahat specially those with lung problems na talaga.

That is one of a heck mid year sale sis! dito rin mega sale but hindi ko feel kasi daming unfortunate turn of events. hai... may end year sale din dyan like SG?

[phurple0515]

Malaysia has 2 Grand Sales aside from the sales they have from time to time - the MidYear sale (for Ramadhan season) and the YES (Year End Sale).

[X_03]

oh good! but im not into branded sales much, more of good polo shirts and t-shirts lang ako. well let's see 

[u8mypinkcookies]

Oh my, midyear sale sa KL? I wanna go tuloy! Super enjoy ako shopping nung summer (Grand Prix Sale) pari 3 yrs ago (ata or 4 yrs, haha) sa Yearend Sale, good buys talaga!

[X_03]

panong good buy sis^? as in like how much [textspeak!] rate in Php

[phurple0515]

^ Usually sis up to 70% and some are even 90% off

yong 2k na VNC shoes sa Pinas, nakabili ako same for my friend na 300 pesos lang ata or less.  madaming choices kasi lahat sale.  kaya nga #2 na ata ang KL na best asian cities to shop eh dahil sa mga sales esp. pag mid year at year end

[tammy1979]

^^ Sis, ano-ano ang madalas na mag sale jan pag Mid-year? Mas mura ba bumili ng gadgets sa KL compared sa Pinas?

[phurple0515]

^ yes, gadgets are way cheaper here kahit mga TV etc....sale lahat sis, lahat ng malls nakasale.
