Shopping in Kuala Lumpur - KLCC
Shopping in Kuala Lumpur - KLCC Reviews
 Jan 24, 2008
Aspiring to steal the thunder from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur went through a massive transformation over the past twenty years. The major projects taken up by the Malaysian government include the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the Petronas Towers, part of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), “A City within a City”
While Singapore still continues to thrive, Kuala Lumpur’s excitement comes from its underlying chaos and its affordability as a travel destination. Shopping in Kuala Lumpur can be a tiring ordeal. Getting from one place to the other in small, cramped old taxis with drivers who prefer not to use the meter, can test your patience. Recommendation: If there is one place and only one place you want to shop at, try Suria KLCC. Located right in the heart of the city, all roads and trains seem to lead to KLCC ;-) Besides shopping, it is a great place to spend a day or two. With cinemas, restaurants and activities in the mall, you can spend your entire time right in the confines of the gigantic KLCC. If you are in KL for just a day or two and want to shop for good quality branded stuff, think no further. Besides the very high end branded stores, there are many mid priced brands who also have outlets in KLCC. Shopping aside, KLCC has many other attractions, such as park, dancing fountains, multiplex cinemas, an aquarium and of course the Petronas Towers themselves. If street shopping is your thing, a visit to China Town’s Petaling Street is a must. Be prepared to bargain, and of course, buyer be ware. Petaling street is a crowded but fascinating place to shop and a haven for fake branded merchandise. The best way to get in and out of Petaling Street is to travel by Metro. Happy Shopping |

The bus journey to KL (as the Locals call it) was one of the nicest we've been on so far.
