[2025 Kuala Lumpur Attraction] Travel Guide for Desa Parkcity (Updated Apr)

Early November is just in time for late autumn, and many leaves have turned completely yellow. Some leaves fly when the wind blows, and some fall off, leaving only dead branches. Fortunately, this trip was in time and caught the tail end of autumn. As in previous years, when I went to Arashiyama and Kiyomizudera Temple in Kyoto, Japan, at the end of November, I only saw dead branches and dead trees. When I arrived in Switzerland in early October, there were not many red leaves or yellow leaves yet, so if you want to see the autumn scenery, you must be sure of the time, otherwise it will be too early or too late. #100waysoftravel

#winhkflight 📍Kenny Hills Bakers One of my favourite pastries place would be Kenny Hills Bakers. Was doing a solo trip to Kuala Lumpur and decided to have a little breakfast here in Kenny Hills Bakers. I went to their outlet in Desa Park City, ample parking spaces, easily accessible! The café has both indoor and outdoor seatings, love the wooden rustic retro decor of the store and the entire store is actually surrounded with greeneries, love it. The pastries are good as usual. I ordered pain au chocolate, which was great for breakfast! The croissant was nice and flaky on the outer layer, with crisp, while it’s fluffy on the inside! I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

The Social @ Waterfront Desa Park City serves quality food. There are some entrance seatings for pets with big fans and it’s not too hot except when the weather is extremely hot. The opening hours are from 11.30am to 12am daily. Parking is easy usually on weekdays and in the mornings. There’s a lunch promotion going on at RM25.90 for a set of meal and it’s worth the price as it’s really tasty food.

My friends decided to bring me to Desa Parkcity today to see playful and cute dogs, and it's the best walk I ever had! There's so many people in the evening bringing their dogs and cats strolling, but mostly are dogs. There's a playground for kids, also it's next to The Waterfront @ Parkcity where you can go shopping and get food! I love how it's super friendly for everyone, very refreshing thanks to the trees planted - which were full of variety and also the big lake is very pleasant for our eyes ♡ #awesomepic #park #petfriendly

Being in a lakeside park with a peaceful and beautiful environment and complete facilities, coupled with festive decorations, makes one feel relaxed and comfortable.

#createwithtrip Bestie asked me out for lunch, decided to try out the Japanese Restaurant at Plaza Arkadia, Desa Parkcity. Located within the Plaza Arkadia compound, it is one of the many international cuisine here. This Japanese Restaurant has a very relax and comfortable feel to it. We arrived after rush hour lunch time, it was a little quieter. I love the ambiance of the restaurant, nicely renovated and the staff are very friendly and helpful. From the restaurant you can see the beauty of the whole Arkadia environment. I ordered Salmon teriyaki with some side dishes. The quality of the food was good and it was within the reasonable budget of most people. Will definitely be back in the future.

#createwithtrip Desa PARKCITY doesn’t need a lot of introduction these days, I won a lot of awards for excellence in township planning and comfortable living with Dog friendly parks and shopping. Introducing Plaza Arkadia, within the Desa Parkcity is an excellent place for those who enjoy a different kind of setting especially in FDinning Experience. Plaza Arkadia is located at Jalan Residen 3, Desa Parkcity, it is consisted of a few office and shop buildings combined together to create an alfresco feeling. There are ample parkings at the basements and lots of choices for fine dining and restaurants of international Cuisines. The whole atmosphere is very inviting and you don’t feel intimidated by the concrete structure of office buildings. Stronf Recommended. Love the place, will definitely be back to try out more restaurants here.

this trail is becoming more popular each day because it is nearby. Bukit Sri Bintang is a hill and a patch of forest next to Desa Park City, close to Kepong in northern Kuala Lumpur. It is actually part of a more extensive forested area and separated by highways. it is short but very enjoyable hike. around 90 minute. u can park near the shop houses and residential area near the entrance to the trail. This walk probably has some of the best views of any walk in the KL area. It is possible to see Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower and even Batu Caves. u can also see people do gardening at the top. take as many pictures #hiking #kepong

Bukit Sri Bintang is hill and a patch of forest next to Desa Park City, close to Kepong in northern Kuala Lumpur. It is actually part of a more extensive forested area which extends south as far as Bukit Kiara and is separated from this area by the E1 Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan. The twin peaks of the hill, highest point around 150 metres above sea level, were shaved of forest some years ago for the construction of pylons and high voltage power cables. Now the scar has healed leaving pleasant grassy vegetation and great views over the city. #nationalpark#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails

#kualalumpurtrip Even though Kuala Lumpur is often seen as a bustling metropolis, full of fast-paced energy, traffic, and towering skyscrapers, it’s surprisingly easy to find ways to unwind and escape the city’s constant buzz. Beneath the surface of busy roads and packed malls, KL offers countless pockets of calm — spaces that let you breathe, recharge, and slow down without ever having to leave the city. You’ll find serenity in places like the Perdana Botanical Gardens, where winding paths, blooming flowers, and quiet ponds offer a refreshing break from the concrete jungle. Not far off, the Taman Tugu trail invites you to immerse yourself in nature — a forest reserve right at the heart of KL, where the sound of rustling leaves and birdsong replaces the city’s usual soundtrack. For those who enjoy city parks with more structure, KLCC Park offers a scenic spot to walk or jog with a stunning view of the Petronas Towers — especially beautiful at sunset. If you prefer urban comfort with a calming atmosphere, KL’s ever-growing coffee culture is the perfect remedy. Whether it’s a cozy nook at Noon, a minimal and quiet space like Contour, or the more elegant surroundings of Bacha Coffee, there’s a café for every mood. Some, like 168 Coffee or V88, blend modern design with tranquil ambiance, making them ideal spots to relax with a book, journal, or simply people-watch. For a slightly hidden experience, check out Coffeenies, tucked away from the main streets, or Transparent Coffee, known for its peaceful vibe and quality beans ☕️ Looking for something more immersive? Take a morning yoga or meditation session at wellness studios like OM Elements or Hale Wellness in the city. For a spa retreat, Banyan Tree Spa or Hammam Spa at Publika offer indulgent experiences that help you fully disconnect from the chaos outside. On weekends, take a drive out to Desa ParkCity, a beautifully planned township where you can stroll along pet-friendly walkways, sip coffee by the lake, or dine in open-air restaurants surrounded by greenery. It’s a favorite spot for families, dog lovers, and anyone seeking a slower pace, with just the right mix of nature and convenience. Similarly, Mont Kiara’s café scene and open-air plazas like Arcoris provide great weekend spots to unwind with good food, coffee, and a casual vibe!! Even in the heart of the city, you’ll find unexpected ways to relax — from rooftop bars like Vertigo or Fuego offering panoramic skyline views, to peaceful temples and mosques like Thean Hou Temple or Masjid Wilayah that welcome quiet reflection. It’s this balance that makes Kuala Lumpur special: a city that never stops moving, yet always finds room for stillness 🧘🏻

#kualalumpurtrip And when I say “never go hungry”, I really mean it! You can find eateries opening as early as 5.00am and closes at night at 12am or 1am! Not to mention 24-hour mamak eateries! Kuala Lumpur’s food scene is a vibrant, ever-evolving tapestry that reflects the city’s rich cultural diversity and Malaysians’ deep-rooted love for good food. From nostalgic street eats to polished modern cafes, KL delivers a culinary experience that’s as dynamic as its skyline. A Stroll Through Petaling Street Start your journey in the heart of Chinatown, at Petaling Street, where heritage and modernity intertwine. Amid the bustling stalls and old shophouses lies Fung Wong, a century-old biscuit shop reimagined as a sleek, naturally lit kopitiam. With its clean lines, warm wooden finishes, and large skylights pouring in daylight, Fung Wong balances tradition with a modern cafe aesthetic — a symbol of KL’s approach to food: rooted in history, yet always innovating. A Melting Pot of Global Flavours KL’s multicultural makeup means international cuisine is not just available — it’s celebrated. You’ll find authentic Italian trattorias, cozy French bistros, and Middle Eastern/Mediterranean grills serving everything from kebabs to mezze platters. What sets the city apart is how accessible these are — from upscale dining experiences to humble family-run eateries. And if you’re craving East Asian fare, you’re in luck. Japanese, Korean, Mainland Chinese, and Thai restaurants are found at nearly every turn, whether in stylish mall precincts or neighborhood food hubs. This abundance reflects the city’s openness to global tastes, and the locals’ adventurous palate. The Rise of Kuala Lumpur’s Coffee Culture In recent years, KL has seen a boom in its coffee culture. Cafes are no longer just a place for caffeine; they’re social hubs, workspaces, and aesthetic sanctuaries. Visit V88, tucked within a stylish shophouse, or 168 Coffee, where minimalist interiors meet serious brews. For a more opulent touch, Bacha Coffee offers an indulgent Moroccan-French experience in plush, golden surroundings. Prefer something more low-key and soulful? Independent gems like Noon, Coffeenies, and Contour serve up artisanal coffee with a personal touch, often run by passionate local baristas who treat coffee as craft. Scenic Pairings: Food and Views Pair your meal or coffee with a slice of Kuala Lumpur’s landscape. Soak in the dazzling city skyline, punctuated by the Petronas Twin Towers, or seek calm at Bukit Nanas, where cafes nearby let you sip and breathe in the green, thanks to its proximity to the forest reserve nestled within the urban core. For a slower, more suburban vibe, head to Desa ParkCity — a pet-friendly township with walkable green paths, lakeside dining, and cafes that welcome both humans and their furry companions. It’s a perfect blend of nature, community, and cuisine. In essence, Kuala Lumpur is a city that eats with its heart!!

#springwander Plaza Arkadia in Desa ParkCity turned into illuminating spring Raya this year with its brilliant ray decorations such as the Ketupat, batik arches, flower lights across its buildings and streets. I particularly fond with the diamond shapes Ketupat (Javanese rice packed in palm leaf pouch) in light blue and green colours where it symbolises the Malay must-have dish during this festive spring season.

A delightful evening at Café Deli by El Meson, indulging in their signature paella, packed with seafood goodness, and perfectly crispy roasted pork with a golden crackling. After a hearty feast, a stroll along The Waterfront, Desa ParkCity, soaking in the magical Christmas lights and festive vibes, made the night even more special. A perfect blend of flavors and festive cheer! #favouriteitinerary #peterlltt

nice

The cherry blossoms in full bloom and rows of red lanterns lining the walkway made The Waterfront Desa ParkCity a stunning sight this CNY! 🏞️✨ Adding to the festive cheer were beautiful fish decorations, symbolizing prosperity, while the lively bazaar buzzed with must-have treats and festive goodies. A perfect spot to soak in the New Year vibes! #favouriteitinerary

The Waterfront Desa ParkCity transforms into a festive wonderland with trendy Christmas trees, dazzling lights, and a cozy holiday vibe—perfect for an evening stroll. Over at Grand Millennium KL, a whimsical pink Christmas tree glows under dreamy pink bubbles, while a real snow “ice” man brings a frosty touch to the celebrations. A magical holiday moment to remember! #favouriteitinerary

The Waterfront Desa ParkCity transforms into a festive wonderland, bringing the community together in the pet-friendly park. A charming gingerbread man welcomes visitors, while twinkling light shows illuminate the night, creating a dreamy atmosphere. With live music filling the air, families, friends, and furry companions soak in the lovely Christmas vibes—a perfect holiday escape in the city! #favouriteitinerary

#favouriteitinerary Light shows in the opulent Desa ParkCity neighbourhood is truly mesmerising and beautiful when lit up at night. Particularly love the purple dome with hundreds of red LED roses, the creative love landmark using the recyclable bottles, the ever changing carpet lights display on the lust green and magnificent Christmas home and Christmas Tree. Truly a good spot for photo-taking and park walk.

#malaysiatrip Desa Parkcity has been a must-go place during every festive season. This area is a beautiful township and packed with expatriates and local. However, the crowd does not define the township as Malaysia is a multi-cultural country, nothing stop them from decorating the place according to each festival custom. If any of you visit Malaysia, may consider to drop by this area for 1-2hours to enjoy the differences of this township.

#malaysiatrip The moment we arrived to Desa Park City a couple weeks back, it immediately brings us back to TeamLab in Macau. There are lights everywhere, the bulbs, the butterfly and the lighted up grass field! The best part is the entrance is only parking fee, nothing else needed to pay! But I guess Desa Park City management will be changing this kind of decoration from time to time, it is not fixed. I guess there will be Chinese New Year theme coming soon!

#malaysiatrip This is a throwback post about Desa Park City Water Front. They celebrated to a new extend here in this housing area. People are gathering around this area just to celebrate the festive joy here. Personally love this place because when the decorations all light up, it immediately became another feel and also just like a different place with a flip of eyes! I will continue to visit Desa Park City to witness their creative decorations.

#malaysiatrip Took the family to 103 Coffee for a weekend treat, and it turned out to be a hidden gem! My kids were thrilled with the vibrant packaging on display, while the adults couldn’t stop raving about the Honey Butter Fried Chicken—crispy goodness with a sweet glaze that’s absolutely addictive. The space felt welcoming for all ages, with thoughtful touches like high chairs for toddlers and plenty of room to move around. The Butterscotch Latte with Honeycomb was a hit across generations—sweet, smooth, and indulgent! If you’re looking for a place to share quality time with loved ones, this spot deserves a visit.
