Four days in paradise sure passed by ever so quickly. I am now in Kuala Lumpur and will be here for a week.
Today was a long day. Spent our remaining hours at paradise relaxing. We were given a late check out at 4pm due to an unfortunate accident (Will blog about it when the time comes). Flight only reached LCCT at 1045pm. Got on the Aerobus at 11pm. It was already midnight when we reached KL Central.
Another half an hour before we reached Doubletree by Hilton at Jalan Tun Abdul Razak.
We got cheap rates via booking.com done a month in advance. Check in was a breeze.
Honestly, I was quite anxious regarding my stay here due to the mixed review but thank God, pleasant so far!
We did not receive any cookies upon check in as they ran out of them. But we were given freshly baked cookies later in the day to make up for it.
The room we are staying in at the moment is a Twin Guestroom. It is cheap because it is a room only package.
Bed was comfortable but a bit firm for my liking.

The bathroom was a bit odd. Luckily there is an automated blind if you want privacy

Today’s itinerary was simple. Aslan sent in his application for the UK right of abode in the morning. We only went out for lunch around noon. We went to KLCC by RapidKL, which was just one stop away from Ampang Park LRT, situated just around the corner from the hotel.
Odd train ticketing system, using token instead.
The last time I was in KL was 2009. Back then, I didn’t know much about KL, I think I enjoy this trip more because now I am more familiar with the surrounding.
First thing we did was to look for a decent place to have lunch. I’ve been hearing good reviews about Ben’s, so decided to give it a try.
Very popular place, especially during lunch
While waiting for our food to arrive, we played this game.
I can’t come up with any food that I consider the sexiest. Probably a good steak. Mmm…
Our drinks. Aslan ordered Lemon, Lime and Bitters and I had the Apple Freeze.
The slim pose aka before I eat pose.
As for lunch, Aslan ordered Wagyu Beef Pie and after much consideration, I settled for the Mushroom lasagna.
Aslan absolutely enjoy this savory treat. Quite filling too!
This creamy pasta dish is lovely but can get quite rich after a few spoonful of it. Mmm...
If we weren’t full enough, I would have ordered the Pavlova but maybe next time. To avoid weight gain, we then walked around KLCC to cuci mata and shop.
Burned some moolah here
KLCC’s decoration for the Lunar New Year is simple but tastefully done.

Serious face trying to locate a certain store...

As a method of saving our money, we decided to watch Sherlock Holmes 2 at GSC. I mean, 2 hours plus is a long wait before meeting up with Lai, so, might as well watch a movie.
It was really nice to meet up with Lai. We tried this Indonesian restaurant called Bumbu Desa and it was probably the worst decision ever. Avoid this restaurant at all cost. It is expensive and the food sucks. I thought the food was freshly cooked but it was taken from the buffet tray and reheated in the microwave. Boooooo.
Lai and I at the lousy Bumbu Desa
The food was so terrible, I refuse to blog about it. Yuck. Never again. Anyhow, after that depressing expensive dinner, we went back to the hotel.
This was taken in front of the hotel
We claimed our cookies at the reception…
Really nice when still warm!
Lai can't wait any longer

Well, tomorrow’s plan is… IKEA! Woohoo.
Will blog more soon!
Love,
E.
