Pavilion Kuala Lumpur
Pavilion KL is located at the heart of the KL city , Bukit Bintang area. This is a brand spanking new mall, launched on last October 2007. This 7 level building mall is very big and beautiful, built for for the upper class society. I’ve been here a couple of times. I prefer this mall than KLCC, well maybe because I am already got bored with KLCC, and sometimes KLCC for me is too crowd at week ends, and I like the people and atmosphere in Pavilion better than KLCC.
What I really-really like in Pavilion is a place called Food Republic. Reading the name you can guest what kind of place it is. Yes, this is a place for food lovers where you can taste the wide variety of international and local cuisines. There’s also a one place called JCO Donut & Cofee in Food Republic . The lines are very long all day everyday. To satisfied my curiosity, I waited for 30 minutes and bought a dozen of donuts. Read more
KLCC or Kuala Lumpur City Center
This is the first shopping mall I had visited in Kuala Lumpur back in 2005. I was on my way to Mandarin Hotel which is near to KLCC by using train, and when I stopped at the KLCC station and got out, wow, I was amazed of how well is the transportation infrastructure system in Kuala Lumpur. I just realised that day, that the KLCC Station is exactly under the KLCC shopping mall! Call me an idiot, but I came from Jakarta, Jakarta until now still doesn’t have the railway system like the one in Kuala Lumpur. That’s why I amazed of how well is the railway system in KL.
KLCC is located exactly nestled with the Petronas Twin Towers building, so if you visit Petronas Twin Towers don’t forget to visit this mall also. There are many stores in KLCC ranging from the international brands and local brands. I am a guy, I don’t do shopping a lot, but what I like most in KLCC is the Kinokuniya Book Store, the food court and the cinema. There are also a digital camera stores, but the prices is crazy, I prefer to buy digital camera or digital gadget things at the Lowyat Plaza than KLCC. If you like rock music you should go to the Tower Records, located at the ground level. It’s full of rock music CD ranging from 60’s to 90’s rock era. Read more
IKEA Mutiara Damansara Kuala Lumpur
You must be wondering, why I wrote an article about IKEA, well, I wrote about IKEA because most of my friends who came from Indonesia keep asking me about it. I have an Indonesian friend who lived in Kuala Lumpur and she said that the first 3 months she lived in KL, she spent almost 5 days a week visiting IKEA. That’s how fanatics she is! But most of you who come from Western Countries, where IKEA’s is maybe just a step from your house, you could just skip this article, but let me tell you that IKEA in Kuala Lumpur is the biggest IKEA in Asia. IKEA is located at Ikano Power Centre in Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur. Maybe it’s about 20 km from Kuala Lumpur. Read more
