    Kuala Lumpur has a few big mega sales each year and not only are they huge, they have some of the best deals around. Big malls such as the Pavillion and One Utama are massive with most shops having 50% to 70% off in their stores every year during March, May and December. These dates are known to change though and I've been to KL in July/August for some amazing shopping!
    Stay at the Parkroyal hotel in Bukit Bintang where you have about three big malls within walking distance.
    Pavillion KL is a glitzy mall where you can get the latest and high end fashion. Sungei Wang Plaza is right opposite Parkroyal hotel and this is where you will find 500 retail outlets selling everything from food to clothes and score a bargain!
    Behind Parkroyal hotel,there is a Low Yat Plaza which is THE malls for electronics and IT products. I have bought cameras and computer accessories from here at half the price!
    At the end of a long shopping day, hang out at one of the big food courts in the mall for really good hawker food in a comfortable air conditioned surrounding. Lot 10 (Starhill Gallery) in Bukit Bintang is known for it's fantastic and tasty food court.

    Jalan Alor

    Posted by tropicalfruits 2 May 2010

    Jalan Alor, located in the heart of KL, just off the main thoroughfare of Bukit Bintang, is for me, the best place in the capital for fast, street food. It's basically a stretch of restaurants and food stalls that create a 'hawker stall' atmosphere. The selection of food is substantial, from super crispy pork to exotic (obviously) fish such as garoupa in mango. A view of this street from the top end is one of the highlights of this city - all bustle, bright neon lights and noise. As well as the outdoor seating most of the eateries have some indoor space too - worth bearing in mind if the weather looks like its about to take a turn for the worse! Food style is mostly Chinese here. I personally recommend the buttered prawns from the first stall at the top of the street.

    Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

    Peter Hoe

    Posted by ktopping 28 December 2005

    I'm not a natural shopper, but positively enjoyed spending money in this emporium. Instead of piling high the usual tourist fare, they've given a lot of thought to what to stock, and how to present it. Very good value (without being cheap). If you're after a pan-cultural eclectic mix of home furnishings, jewellery and gifts then go and enjoy Peter Hoe's.

    Chinatown; near Central Market; if you can find it, go to the (much larger) 2nd floor shop: No. 145 Jalan Tun H.S.Lee, 2nd Floor Lee Rubber Building. (Don't be put off - it looks a bit like a residential building!). Smaller shop: No. 2 Jalan Hang Lekir.

    Petronas Towers

    Posted by startrash1 3 November 2005

    Absolutely stunning twin towers. Go during the day and there is a free guided tour and then again at night to see the towers lit up! There is also a shopping centre, cinema and restaurants at your disposal.

    Junction of Jalan Ampand and Jalan P. Ramlee
    Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur.
    Just look for the towers you can't miss them!
