Malaysia/KL Guide (Thread 10)

[redberry12]

Sisses. Help nman, my friend is now checked in sa Empire Hotel Subang Jaya and very limited lang yun time nila para mag ikot (shopping)😊 San kaya sila pwede makapasyal and mamili? Malayo ba sila sa Central Market? TIA.

Naku Sis, Subang Jaya is far from the central city mismo ng Kuala Lumpur. But merong malls sa Subang Jaya itself may mall doon. How many days ba sila sa Malaysia sis?

[redberry12]

Hi Sis.. Just want to comment on this itinerary.. I can't help it but to share my insights kasi medyo tiring. If you don't mind sis.. Here are my unsolicited advice on yourr trip. I suddenly missed KL. I was based in Malaysia for a good 5 years.. So here it is.

Day 1 - Nov. 30
Genting Highlands or Cameron ? ( Any suggestion po)
Petronas tower for picture taking
***- Better sis to go to Genting if you plan to Petronas at night because Cameron Highlands is 4 hours from KL itself so that is 4 hours to and fro.

Day 2
Legoland
Buy pasalubong at night
***Legoland is in Johor Bahru sis which is the boundary of Singapore and Malaysia. It will take around 4-6 hours travel by bus from your location ng Day 1 (KL) to JB which is another state ng Malaysia. Kaya pgkababa nyo ng Genting better go straigh to Johor Bahru and doon na kayo matulog for your day trip to Legoland because travel palang kakainin na ang buong araw.



Day 3
Petronas Tower
Batu Caves
Putrajaya

*** These are three different Places. But it is good naman for the whole day trip. You won't see much spots in Putrajaya so you can go there last.


Day 4
Shopping and buy pasalubong until check out
Back to Manila ( Our flight back to Manila, ETD: DEc. 4: 1:20 AM)

** Free and Easy

[CALLEIGH]

Tomorrow na din flight nila back here in Manila sis. Empire Mall daw tapat lang ng hotel nila.

[shams]

Hello sis redberry12! Thank you for that info's. Baka ganun na nga lang gawin namin from Genting to JB.

^^ super layo nga ng SJ sis sa KL mismo, super traffic pa papunta sa KL from there.

Spent the weekend in Malaysia. Thanks sa mga sis na sumagot sa queries ko before.

Went to Sunway Lagoon, sobrang init at suuuuper daming tao sa waterpark area, grabe. Hindi na kami nag attempt maligo dahil sardinas-level na saka nag-iinarts daddy ko lol. Ang nasakyan lang namin 'yung umiikot ikot na kagaya ng Disneyland teacup thing, tried out the Archery, tapos sa Scream Park. Medyo expensive for rm 150 kung hindi kayo magpunta sa waterpark kasi dun 'yung madaming ganap but it's a nice experience overall.

Nag-Sunway Pyramid kami after. Nice ang shops, mura ang sneakers sa JD. The super hirap hanapin Stan Smith and Superstar complete ng selection and sizes dun, rm 350 lang. My dad was able to snag a pair of running shoes in Under Armour rm 339 lang yata.

Sobrang mura din ng Ipanema, Grendha at Zaxy products sa RSH. Murang mura na kami sa Sungei Wang tapos when we got to Stadium, may 10-50% off pa pala. Nag hoard ng tsinelas. Lol. Flip flops were as low as rm 26, 'yung mga Zaxy na high-heeled na around 1.8k sa Pinas rm 99 tapos 10% off pa.

Saucony din mura sa Stadium. Rm 229 lang 'yung Jazz ko na almost 4k sa Pinas.

Was supposed to go to Putrajaya pero sinuggest kasi nung receptionist sa hotel na mag Aquaria na lang, mas gusto ng parents ko dun so sige na lang kahit bet ko talaga mag Putrajaya. Boring 'yung Aquaria, 'di sulit ang rm 60 na entrance fee.

Gayunpaman (lol), sulit na sulit talaga kami sa shopping ng footwear. :grin: Clothes halos parehas lang din ng price sa Pinas kaya wala kami masyadong binili.

[phurple0515]

^ tama ka don, pag mga clothes, mas mura pa nga kung tutuusin sa Pinas e kaya whenever I go back for a break, namimili ako ng damit dyan hehe.  Dito mura mga footwear at iba pang items.

[**My Sweet November**]

Sis please recommend a kid friendly hotel near Johor Bahru.
We plan to go to Legoland, HK & Angy Bird Theme Park pero can't decide which hotel is near, good quality & okay din ang price.

Salamat sa magrereply.

[phurple0515]

^ why don't you take the hotel sa Legoland mismo sis?

[forumera]

Ganito ba talaga kahirap mag book sa Legoland website? Twice na ayaw tanggapin booking ko

[phurple0515]

for which dates ka nagpapabook sis, baka school holiday kaya nahirapan ka.

[forumera]

^May 13 sis. Holiday po ba yun?

[phurple0515]

^ I have checked naman the calendars, di siya school holiday sa SG at MY.  Have you tried contacting their customer service?

[forumera]

^yes sis I emailed them na. Thank you for checking. Di nila inamim kung may problema website nila. Another thing kasi ang mura ng tickets naka 40% discount. Siguro parang piso fare ang peg hirap maka go through? Haha. Okay na kami nag manual booking na lang. Print ko na lang daw email thread namin.

Next month na ang SG-Malaysia trip namin ng mother ko and nagstart na ko magdraft ng itinerary. Tapos na din ako magbackread sa thread na ito but I still have a lot of questions.

1. I'm torn between Rainforest Bed and Breakfast and Sky Hotel. Which is better? Sa Rainforest free ang breakfast pero walang wifi sa room at may nabasa ako na maingay daw kasi may katabing clubs. Sa Sky Hotel naman walang free breakfast pero may wifi sa room. Marami bang restaurants sa paligid ng Sky Hotel na maaga nagbubukas for breakfast? Magkalayo ba itong dalawang ito?

2. I read here about Wong Ah Wah resto and Madam Kwan's and Lot 10. Mga sis, puro spicy ba ang food dito? Sorry for the ignorance. Kung ako lang kasi, sanay ako sa spicy food dahil I've been eating Indian food for 5 years na and natolerate ko na and nalearn ko na to enjoy Indian cuisine. Ang iniisip ko eh yung mother ko baka hindi niya kayanin ang super maanghang na food at magutom siya. Sa Jalan Alor marami bang pagpipilian na hindi naman puro maanghang?

3. Do I need to buy in advance tickets papuntang SG? I'm confused regarding this. I'm planning to take the midnight trip to SG para makatipid kami ng one night stay at mamaximize na din ang trip. Or pwede na na a day before ako bumili ng ticket? Sa Imbi ang bilihan ng ticket ng Starmart tama ba?

4. I want to go to Putrajaya kasi mahilig ako sa mga Mosques. Taxi lang ba talaga ang way to tour the area? At safe naman ba ang mga taxis dito?

Sorry mga sisses ang dami kong tanong. Thank you na din in advance.

[phurple0515]

^ hi sis, please see my reply below.

1. Medyo malayo sila, Sky hotel is beside Low Yat Plaza, then Rainforest naman walking distance to Bukit Bintang and Pavilion.  Ang maganda lang sa Sky Hotel, within Bukit Bintang area siya kaya maraming kainan.  Ok na rin ang Rainforest kasi walking distance me mga kainan din or you can go to the side of Bukit Bintang then madami na rin kainan. 

2. Local malaysian food ang madam kwan's and in any restaurant pwede mo naman siya irequest to have it less spicy.  If its a chinese restaurant then ok kasi parang lutong Pinoy din lang.  Meron naman naka-indicate sa menu nila if its spicy or not.

3. Pwede naman sis to buy advance tickets at least to lessen queue or baka mataon ka ng peak time. 

4. Me mga taxis na nagpoprovide ng tour sa Putrajaya sa baba mismo ng KLIA station.  From KL, you can go there via KLIA train then just ask for those taxis na nagtotour by hour.  Safe naman.

[chinablue]

^thank you sis!

Hi, does anyone know Prescott Hotel in KL Sentral? Ano ano kaya ang malalapit na pwedeng puntahan? I have no idea kase on where to start with the itinerary.

[phurple0515]

^ Prescott in KL Sentral is this cute narrow hotel along the highway.  Medyo malayo siya konti sa mga LRT stations and since along high way siya, around 2km siya to Merdeka Square, then siguro, ang pinakamalapit na establishment will be KL sentral itself.  Siguro nasa 10 mins walk din siya.

[iceheaven31]

^ from Prescott Hotel, you can walk a few kms to Little India / Brickfields, or you can take a short cab trip to Central Market and/or Chinatown (Petaling St).
