We moved nearer to city centre on our 2nd day in KL.
We booked Soho Suites KLCC the day earlier and luckily this time, our accommodation went smoothly without any hiccup. A lot of communication between the owner (agent) and us but thanks to the kind owner, we were able to checked in around 2pm instead of 3pm that afternoon with no extra charges. It was a lovely family suite with 3 bedrooms but we only paid and used 2 rooms for the remaining days in KL. Kitchen, fridge, washing machine and dryer were available to our liking. The kids used the master bedroom as bigger bed while hubby and I took the room with queen sized bed.
A city view from our our windows; we could see the KL Tower on left side and KLCC on the right. It was a very strategic location as we could walk around on foot. And we enjoyed the Pedestrian Walk that we discovered that evening. We used the pedestrian walk few times, to Pavillion and KLCC.
As it was raining in the evening after we checked into the suite, we decided to take a Grab car to our dinner venue. We could walk for about 20-30 minutes to Alor Street, but due to rain, we took a car.
As we reached Alor Street around 4pm, not many activities happening there. We managed to find a shop that opened, so we settled down for an early dinner.
We were rather hungry by then as we took early lunch in Wangsa Maju that day. Not many customers in Alor as the rain was still pouring.
We had this 3 eggs steamed egg. It was alright but I didn't quite like it because of the century egg.
Stir fried kailan with beef was good. I enjoyed the tender beef slices.
My special request each time I am in Alor Street. Lala!! Kam heong lala was our choice that evening, and it was flavourful and tasty.
Mixed vegetables in yam basket was equally good, as everyone enjoyed the basket very much.
Lastly, we ordered this claypot ginger chicken which was very comforting to have on a cold day.
It was an enjoyable and delightful dinner amidst the rain and cold. Plus drink, our dinner costs RM181.30. After the dinner, everyone was ready to take a walk to Bintang Walk and check out on the shopping malls. That is coming up in my next post.
Que maravilla
ReplyDeleteWhat an enjoyable trip! It is nice to stay at the city centre where all the attractions are within walking distance. All the dishes for dinner look really good! Such places are the best venues for really good food. I hardly ever go down to KL >.<
ReplyDeleteI used to stay at Bukit Bintang and I often went to Jalan Alor for my meals. It was nicer in the 80's - later, they revamped the place and everything became nicer, more organised, more presentable but the stalls were mostly run by the migrant workers and what they dished out was not so nice. I guess it's the same with everything else - must know where to go, some are good, some are not.
ReplyDeleteNice and tasty dishes....although i would prefer having supper at Jalan Alor after shopping...hehe....
ReplyDeleteGood that raining didn't stop you from going out and having fun! The steamed egg looks really great.
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to see;)
ReplyDeleteYay to everyone enjoying the accomodations near klcc. I like the pedestrian bridge very convenient to get around. Wow! The prices for the dishes are so reasonable. I have never been to eat around that place though I live in kl. Lolx?
ReplyDeleteGlad everything went well with the 2nd accommodation at Soho Suites KLCC. I am okay with century egg but hubby loves it. All the dishes ordered are to my liking too.
ReplyDeleteJalan Alor is how they are popularly referred in KL is always packed like sardines around 8pm. Their food has improved so much today compared to over 10 years ago. Even the locals eat there besides the tourists as we enjoy the atmosphere.
