Hello mga Sis.

Advise naman ng mga malls na mura for shopping. Yung malapit lang sana sa Parkroyal Hotel/Bukit Bintang area. Mostly clothes, perfume and make up lang naman plano namin bilhin.

Ano ba mas mura pa jan yung price kesa sa Pinas na pwedeng bilhin? Any outlet store there?

For pasalubongs naman, any recommendation din and saan pwede mabili?

I will be hoarding also Old town coffee since favorite talaga namin. How much na ba isang pack and san ako makakabili ng pinaka mura?

TIA.

^^cadbury chocolates sis! 😊😊 the biggest size in giant grocery in sungei wang (tama ba? Haha!) Cost only almost RM 7 while in cold storgae is RM 8++ and here in PH is 160 to 180++ pesos. Kaya super hoard kami. Haha! While old town white coffee naman is around RM 11 to 15 per big pack around 15 sachets yata and sa giant din ito. In case your airport going back to PH is KLIA2, there's an Old Town resto there that sells also white coffee.

May na-try kaming white coffee which we bought in a small store in Penang, Penang White Coffee ang name in dark brown and yello packaging, aroung RM 12 price per 15 sachets pack. For me mas masarap ito kesa Old Town. Baka lang meron kayong makitang ganito sa Giant, try nyo na din. Hehe!

HTH 😊😊

we were in KL last New Year's weekend, hinde kami natuloy sa Hotel Istana as planned, ayaw ni hubby gumastos for a hotel, hinde daw staycation ang nasa isip niya lol. we stayed at Rainforest B&B, mura lang, our room is small and clean.
we left SG New Year's day at 9am and reached KL around 3:30PM (took us an hour sa queue sa JB Immigration then ang tagal din ng stopover namin na dapat 20mins lang)

The coach dropped us at Bukit Bintang near Pavilion Mall, kumain muna kami sa Nando's @ Pavilion before going to Rainforest B&B.
After check in, we just rested muna
at 7PM, we started walking towards Pavilion Mall, bought some llaollao (our fave) and continued sa Walkway, it was a long walk from Pavilion Mall to KLCC.
We were at Petronas for about an hour, photo ops and people watching lol.
Balik kami Bukit Bintang via Walkway again.
Did a little shopping back in Pavilion then late dinner at Jalan Alor.

On our second day we woke up late and had the breakfast included sa room, it's very simple - toasts, cereals, coffee/ tea.
checked out and went to KL Sentral via Monorail. Good na connected na ang monorail sa KL Sentral, dati kasi have to go out on the street pa.
we proceed sa RWS genting booth and learned na ang earliest avail bus sched to Genting is at 3PM pa then sold out na daw lahat ng pabalik na trip. I was asking the lady staff whether there will be lots of cabs in Genting pauwi and she said na we don't need to worry kung walang bus kasi madami daw dun taxi and mga private cars na pwede namin sakyan pauwi. Gusto ko pa din tumuloy but ayaw na ni hubby kung hinde bus. Tambay kami dun sa booth for about 10mins thinking of other places to go when the lady announced na may nagopen na 9PM schedule so yey!  we bought tickets na agad2x not realizing na 1140PM ang bus schedule namin pabalik ng SG ha! taking into consideration ang travel time to KL sentral + train to TBS mukhang sakto pero bawal kami matraffic haha.
so while waiting for our 3PM trip, naglunch muna kami sa Sentral mall.
Before 2:30, nandun na kami sa waiting ng bus, we asked the person in charge whether pwede na kami sumakay ng bus but she said sa next pa daw kami upon checking our tickets.
But then nung paalis na yung 230PM na bus tinawag kami and pinasakay na din since there are available seats pa naman.

We reached Genting Skyway Lower station after an hour ng travel. Konti lang ang queue so nakasakay kami agad ng Cable Car.
This is my 3rd time in Genting and wala naman ako gano expectations. Si hubby casino lang ang plano. Nagpunta kami sa First World hotel para sa free shuttle to Chin Swee Temple.
While waiting for the next shuttle, kape muna kami sa Starbucks sa First World Hotel.
5PM kami nakaskay sa shuttle and around 10mins lang yung layo nung Temple.
First time ko puntahan ang temple na to and in fairness, maganda naman yung lugar, added itinerary in Genting!  stayed for an hour then balik na ulit kami sa Resorts World.
Nag casino kami sandali, nanalo ng 60RM (pang dinner din!).
Dinner at Marybrown, by 8PM nasa Lower station na ulit kami and although 9PM pa yung bus namin, nakasakay kami sa 8PM na bus pabalik ng KL Sentral.
Nagenjoy naman kami sa Genting, very nice ang weather at around 18deg.

Balik KL Sentral, do some last minute shopping sa Sentral mall then took the KTM Komuter  going to TBS.
Maaga naman kami nakarating sa TBS for our bus trip to SG pero nadelay din ang alis.
Left TBS at 12MN and reached SG at 330AM. super bilis lang ng byahe sa madaling araw!

Enjoy naman yung 2 days KL trip namin kahit Petronas at Genting lang kami namasyal. Food trip lang sa Jalan Alor solved na kami.  ;)

^ Sis, hindi ba maingay sa Rainforest B&B? Nabasa ko kasi the reviews on Trip Advisor, masyado daw maingay at mahirap makatulog. Torn ako to check-in here or sa Bintang Warisan.

^ i saw the reviews about the noise din, sabi nila kapag Friday night daw yung super maingay and we were there on a Friday night haha.
Yes, medyo dinig yung loud music sa room but nakatulog naman kami ng mabuti (maybe because pagod din from byahe then wala kami tulog kasi nag new year countdown pa kami in Singapore the night before)

Thanks Sis Phurple0515 will take note of your advice.

Pahelp narin icheck yung Tours below if sulit siya for 60RM per person per tour... Baka kasi pag nag DIY kami ng tour mas mapanahal pa.

Thanks in advance po.

A. CITY TOUR for 3 Hours – 60RM per person
(Metropolitan Landmarks)
HIGHLIGHT OF THE TOUR :
Petronas Twin Tower (photo stop)
Handicraft Centre
Cocoa Boutique
King’s Palace (photo stop)
National Monument
National Museum (exclude entrance fee)
National Mosque (photo stop)
Sultan Abdul Samad Building
 
B. COUNTRY TOUR for 3 Hours – 60RM per person
(Rural Landmarks and Handicrafts)
A trip to the outskirts along the ‘Ambassador Row’. Our first stop at the Royal Selangor Pewter will feature the largest and most modern pewter factory in the world, reputed internationally for its high quality and craftsmanship. You will be shown the different processes, such as casting, filing, polishing, soldering, hammering and engraving during this factory tour. Next we stop at Batik Factory – see how Batik is designed and printed.
Our last stop will be at the limestone hills of Batu Caves that comprises of three caverns and several smaller caves. It is the shrine of Lord Murugah, a Hindu deity – a flight of 272 steps lead up to the temple cave. Another cave, called the museum cave, is filled with images of deities and murals depicting scenes from the Hindu scruptures.

^ sis, ilan kayo?  usually kasi like for those taxis na nagpapa-tour, me nakita ako na budget taxis na 4 hrs KL city day tour nasa RM180, then up to 4 persons pag budget taxi siya.   pag sa private travel agency, baka pasok yong RM60, if let's say that is van ang gagamitin or private cars.

Sis Phurple0515 dalawa lang kasi kami ni Hubby. So naisip ko baka mura na yung 60RM na tour per person na offer ng ParkRoyal Hotel samin.

So kung avail ko yung City Tour and Country Tour total 6 hours and pupuntahan yung mga places na nabanggit ko 240RM in total for two persons.

Tingin mo ok na yun considering yung mga pupuntahan kesa may DIY pa kami baka mas mapamahal?

Thanks!

^sis phurple0515 Will be back to Malaysia for the 3rd time. Will be staying again at Rainforest BB. LOL
Aside from the usual KL places, I included Langkawi for the cable car and hanging bridge,
Flying out KL to Langkawi while taking the sleepers train back to KL naman.

Here are my questions sis, hope you can help me on them.
1. How much is the usual cab rate in Langkawi. Planning to have half day tour to see those places lang.
2. Accommodation, Kuah or Pantai Cenang? Any suggestion for a budget accommodation.

TIA!

^ cab rate sa Langkawi similar sa KL din alam ko sis.  Dati ginawa ko, me kinontak ako na taxi driver to bring us to cable car and other places.  Ang difference lang talaga if cab driver, minsan di na nila ineexplain mga dinadaanan.  Nong 1st time namin we booked yong gala thru travel agency kaya me tour guide na kami kasama (yong driver na rin).  Yong taxi na na-book ko, tahimik, hehe.

It depends on your plan.  Di kasi maganda ang beach ng Pantai Cenang pero don kami lagi stay sa Sunset beach resort.  Kasi beach na yong likod, tapos walking distance lang ang Underwater world tska yong mga duty Free shops plus me mall na malapit na don.  Better ang beach sa Kuah pero not sure alin ang budget accomodation don :)  Maybe check out sa tripadvisor.
