Whenever I visit the overseas area, I will include special landmarks where I can take instagrammable pictures there .I will usually plan my itinerary in such a way where I will divide the place into various sections. Then one day I will visit one section. If you are visiting the Kuala Lumpur city in Malaysia, you should visit the Saloma Link to take some beautiful pictures. It would be best to visit there during the evening and night time, when they have lit up the place. The scene would definitely be very incredible and amazing. You can get here from a short taxi journey if you are staying at the chow kit area.
“Glide Through KL: Explore the City with the Monorail!”
#favouriteitinerary Experience Kuala Lumpur in the most convenient and scenic way is by riding the KL Monorail! Avoid traffic congestion and explore the city’s vibrant heart with ease. The monorail connects key destinations, including Bukit Bintang, KL Sentral, and Chow Kit, making it the perfect choice for tourists and commuters alike. Travelers can also enjoy the panoramic views of the city’s skyline as you glide above bustling streets. Whether you’re heading to shopping hubs, business districts, or cultural attractions, the KL Monorail is fast, affordable, and hassle-free transportation option rather using taxis or Grab.

Thai Kakigori 🍧
#magicalxmastrip
Finally came to this famous Thai dessert that open in Malaysia! And guess what, this is the first branch landed in Malaysia!
The queue was quite okay, we waited for about 15minutes until our turn. We did not expect this outlet is as big, I think easily could fit up to 100 pax per turn over.
Love the Signature Thai Milk Tea Shokupan as it is flavourful, reason being it comes with perfectly salted buttered toast with kaya sauce and a salted cream as a topping! Strongly recommended!

Overall, I am satisfied with this stay. I always enjoy the trip to Kuala Lumpur because it is easy to find a good hotel with a good price.

Chow Kit Market, a popular market among locals in Kuala Lumpur
Guide to Chow Kit Market in Kuala Lumpur - Chow Kit Market is one of the largest traditional markets in Kuala Lumpur and one of the markets with the most locals. It is full of local cultural atmosphere. In Chow Kit Market, you can eat more snacks and fresh fruits, but there is a disadvantage: the surrounding environment is a bit poor, and it is a bit smelly when walking from the subway station to the market 😂
It is very close to the Petronas Twin Towers, and you can reach it by walking. So I was able to take photos with a big contrast. I think it’s great to feel this kind of down-to-earth atmosphere in Kuala Lumpur, a seemingly prosperous city.
🗺️ Address:🗺️Jalan Chow Kit, 50350 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
⏰ Opening hours:⏰ Every day 9:00-17:00
🚇 Transportation: Subway: The nearest subway station is Chow Kit Station, which is a few minutes walk to the market.
Public Transport: There are several bus routes available. [Details can be found on Google maps🗺️]🚇
📸 Travel experience:
Best time to visit: I personally think it is at night. The weather in Kuala Lumpur is very hot during the day and it will be cooler at night. Moreover, this market is almost open 24 hours a day, and snacks are basically open until 1-2 am, so night is undoubtedly the best time to visit.
🥬🥒🌶️🫑What's here? Chow Kit Market is famous for its fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, spices and snack stalls. The stalls in the market are closely arranged, full of the strong local life atmosphere, but these are basically bought by locals.
🔔 Notes:
Be careful with your belongings:💰The market is crowded and messy, so it is recommended to take good care of your belongings. There is a wholesale market nearby, and there are night markets and other things, but the things sold are basically of poor quality, and there are many people from all over the place. Although it is generally safe, you still have to be more careful...😂

Cheap cheap massage £7 for half hour. Wonderful after a long flight.

There are many must-see tourist spots in Malaysia, but this time I will share the local atmosphere of the area around Chow Kit.
📍MRL Chow Kit Station
Chow Kit is located in the center of Kuala Lumpur, and is about 25 minutes away from Pavilion, one of the most popular tourist spots in Kuala Lumpur.
You can also see the Twin Towers in KLCC, a famous area in the center.
The area around Chow Kit is full of local atmosphere, the complete opposite of Kuala Lumpur's famous tourist spots, but it is a place where you can enjoy popular restaurants, fruit shops, cafes, and wall art.
Furthermore, if you walk a little further, you will find Putra Station, the station of the Malayan Railway, and you can also go to Batu Caves in one train.

Best Specialty Coffee in Kuala Lumpur🇲🇾
#2024wish
📍103 Coffee- Chow Kit
9, Jalan Yap Ah Shak, Chow Kit, 50300 Kuala Lumpur
Have visited 103 Coffee a couple of times (including the other outlet in Sri Petaling area), and their coffee is one of the best specialty coffee I’ve ever tried! The coffee is curated well and has been wonderfully crafted that all of the coffee that we ordered was really good! Great presentation of coffee, love the little decorations topping the coffee. I’ve had Honey Bear coffee which is a blend of cold brew coffee, oat milk, Yuzu and honey, easily my favourite! It’s smooth, refreshingly good and has a strong aroma of coffee as well! We were there on a Friday afternoon, and it was quite packed but still 10/10 would love to revisit!

Chic and charming café located in the city of Kuala Lumpur! Love the ambiance,lively and cheery, with cozy vibes! Quite a spacious cafe, with abundant natural lighting, which makes the space bright and clean! Attentive staff and we love the vibes here! Food was decent, well presented and too pretty to be eaten. It’s Australian inspired and they did not disappoint! We ordered a smoothie bowl, egg drop sandwich and a french toast! Love the scrambled egg on the sandwich, fluffy airy and creamy, love the texture! Coffee was pretty good too! Have visited this café a couple of times and there is always a queue, so be prepared for that and you’re all good!

Chow Kit Market
Chow Kit Market is recognised as one of Malaysia’s most infamous landmarks. Located at the northern end of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, it is divided into two halves: the first half is home to the city’s unofficial Red Light District, while the other part is KL’s most popular local market.
Even though it is not as well known to tourists as its starlet cousin, Petaling Street (which is located within the same area), Chow Kit Market is definitely exciting. However it is not a place for the faint hearted, with vendors who are pushy and it takes a thick skin to get serious bargains here.
