aesthetic and historic cafe in KL
📍 KLCG
this cafe is located in a historic building, it was onece a gallery however after pandemic they turned it into a cafe + gallery. it also has a small yet interesting exhibition at the entrance and upstairs.
such a beautiful building, loving the vibes. the bakery is open concept, at times we can see them handling the dough.
the pastries and pasta are good. however the coffee is just ok. this place tend to be very crowded on weekend and public holiday so it is highly recommended to order online (they use beepit) or better come during weekdays^^

FUN BUT EXHAUSTED. That is the only word I can describe. It was a fun day but surely we do walk a lot since all of our locations are walkable and only need to ride MRT. We tried the famous Mee Tarik Pasar Seni. Before it went viral, the beef soup was so sedap! But now, it went downhill after viral. But their fried dumpling still sedap. Need to try the black pepper siew mail dim sum and bean curd dim sum. Sedap!! The next day, we went to Balai Seni Negara. The entrance fee is free and it took around 2hrs to jalan2 and take a picture in the gallery. Then we had our lunch at KLGC. SO SEDAP!!! But a bit pricey compared to Kenny Hills. But you must try their basil pasta and basil pizza. For the pastry, if you're a matcha/hojicha lover, you need to try their famous Houjicha Supreme. IT WAS SO GOOD! Definitely will repeat it. But parking is a bit hard around there since they don't provide parking spaces.#kualalumpur

Don't just go to Teldrassil 🌴 Malaysia is also fun 🥥👇
All in the tropics, Malaysia is no less than Teldrassil 🌴
Recommended route 👣 Kuala Lumpur 👉 Sabah
Share a few off-the-beaten-path travel destinations~ ⬇️⬇️
1⃣️🏖️Sabah Danang Beach
Sabah trip is all about watching the sunset, and Tanjung Aru Beach was once named one of the top ten most beautiful sunset viewing spots in the world by National Geographic magazine 🌇.
🧡Best viewing spot: Sunset Bar at Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa
🧡How to reserve a bar location: Just make a reservation with the front desk when you check in. We reserved the first row of lounge chairs.
⚠️Tips: The bar opens from 4pm to 7pm in the afternoon. It is recommended to arrive around 4pm to secure a better seat. During peak season, it is recommended to make a reservation via email in advance.
🧡Other viewing locations: If you want to take photos of the beach reflection, you need to walk out of the hotel to Tanjung Beach. The first beach will be crowded, so it is recommended to go to the third beach on the right side after going out.
🧡The thing I don't regret the most about my trip to Sabah is booking this hotel.
2️⃣️🧜Sabah Mermaid Island
A very beautiful sunset 🌄, you can go snorkeling and catch starfish 🌟.
At night, go to the mangrove forest to search for long-armed apes and fireflies.
My friends and I all held fireflies in our palms and made wishes. We were very lucky!
3⃣️🕌️Sabah Floating Mosque
The decorations inside the temple are very distinctive.
Before entering, you need to rent Muslim clothes.
You can pick a set of clothes you like and experience the local style.
⚠️(Pay attention to the opening hours of the mosque)
4️⃣️🎀Pink Mosque of Kuala Lumpur
Girl's heart 💕 explodes! No girl can resist.
About 35 kilometers away from the city center.
Please check in advance if it is open on that day.
5️⃣️🏙️Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur
No need to go to Taipei 101 to watch fireworks, there will be beautiful fireworks at the Twin Towers at midnight on New Year's Eve 👇
🧡Best viewing spot: Blue Sky Bar on the 51st floor of The Face Suites hotel.
🧡The infinity pool is also super beautiful, and you can take close-up shots of the Twin Towers~
5️⃣️Kuala Lumpur City Gallery
I ❤️ KL landmark is right here, you can come and check in.
6️⃣️Food recommendations 🍜
Definitely try Feng Ye! The durian bread is delicious! We ate it for two days in a row! Their chicken and three-color tea are also very good! This restaurant is located on Jia Ya Street, which has many delicious options, such as bak kut teh and salted egg yolk baked crab 🦀️!
7️⃣️About language 🗣️
Basically, many people can speak Chinese, even Teochew and Cantonese! Simple English communication is also possible~

Kuala Lumpur!
View: Incredible
Parking: Not much space, the guard told us to park underground but the parking lot was closed with a barricade. Hence we need to park across the road for a while and leave quickly to not cause any traffic
Pros: A historical site, known as Dataran Merdeka. There is a very famous bakery nearby which is KLCG, the pastries are very delicious and to die for!
Cons: No parking lot

🤩A hidden gem at Kuala Lumpur City Gallery
Me and my family were exploring Kuala Lumpur city centre and found this hidden gem inside Kuala Lumpur City Gallery. We didn’t know there is a hidden cafe inside the gallery! The cafe is offering many food and beverages, we had a good time there.
After visiting KLCG, we walk to National Library at the back of the building. It was another exploration with the kids, it was a fruitful day for all of us. If you visiting KL city, remember to come this place!
