Flytographer Peter<\/a> is a multi-faceted talent: besides being a skilled photographer, he is a classically trained pianist, can solve the Rubik\u2019s Cube in under a minute and restores vintage coffee machines. Read on for his full guide on what to eat, see and do in Kuala Lumpur<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Best Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chinatown:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merchant\u2019s Lane<\/a>
\nThis beautifully designed caf\u00e9 and restaurant is perfect for spending a slow meal. Start with a coffee or tea, then enjoy one of their all-day dishes, such as ong bak tomyum, a creamy seafood broth served with macaroni.<\/p>\n

Chocha Foodstore<\/a>
\nOld school meets new school in this hybrid restaurant\/caf\u00e9\/wine bar\/co-working space\/bicycle rental shop. Dive into modern twists on Asian comfort food, like steamed barley and rice topped with seared duck breast. And in an eco-friendly ode to what came before it, Chocha\u2019s tiles are repurposed from the Mah Lian Hotel, which previously occupied the space.<\/p>\n

PS150<\/a>
\nA hidden cocktail and whiskey bar, PS150\u2019s menu is categorized into the different eras of the mixed beverage: vintage, prohibition, tiki, disco and contemporary. In true laid back Malaysian fashion, PS150\u2019s weekend dress code requires men to wear shoes that cover their feet, at the very least.<\/p>\n

Old China Caf<\/a>\u00e9<\/a>
\nThe food at Old China Caf\u00e9 is good, but the interior is even better with all the elements of ancient Chinese homes intact, from traditional feng shui mirrors to wooden latched doors.<\/p>\n

City Centre:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Din Tai Fung Dumpling House<\/a>
\nThis is a MUST HAVE! After three years of living in Kuala Lumpur and visiting this restaurant tons of times, we still get excited whenever the idea comes up to go out and eat there.<\/p>\n

Antipodean<\/a>
\nOur favourite brekkie place! They have one of the best eggs benedicts in town. Their menu covers all breakfast goodness, from eggs benedict to pancakes, French toast to bagels, plus fresh squeezed juice and coffee to wash it all down.<\/p>\n

Jalan Alor<\/a>
\nThis strip of food hawkers comes alive at night, so bring your appetite, find an empty table and dig in.<\/p>\n

Pelita Nasi Kandar<\/a>
\nThis popular restaurant serves up Nasi Kandar, an Indian Muslim dish which originated in colonial Malaysia. Rice serves as the base for fragrant and flavourful sauces and gravies in this historic dish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bangsar:<\/strong><\/p>\n

PULP<\/a>
\nThis slick caf\u00e9 calls a former paper-cutting factory home (hence the name). Daily hand-brewed coffee choices can be filed under bright, balanced or bold.<\/p>\n

Must See Attractions in Kuala Lumpur<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Marini\u2019s on 57<\/a>
\nTo experience the height and dimensions of the twin towers, I always recommend this bar. This rooftop bar (usually called the third tower) is right next to the city centre and from the 57th floor, you get the MOST EPIC view ever. So, instead of paying for tickets to the bridge between the twin towers, I\u2019d rather spend that money on a beer in Marini\u2019s bar and have an even better view. Important: Marini\u2019s dress code is smart casual. Ladies have to cover their shoulders, so bring a scarf if you must, and no sandals!<\/p>\n

Batu Caves<\/a>
\nAn impressively tall gilded statue of Lord Murugan welcomes you to the iconic Batu Caves, home to many temples and Hindu shrines. In addition to the extraordinary places of worship, you\u2019re sure to spot the mischievous macaques which frequent the area.<\/p>\n

National Mosque of Malaysia<\/a>
\nThe National Mosque of Malaysia is massive, with the ability to hold 15,000 people, and is marked by a soaring minaret. After exploring the architectural beauty of the mosque, head to the nearby Perdana Botanical Garden<\/a> for orchids, butterflies and even deer.<\/p>\n

Things To Do in Kuala Lumpur<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra<\/a>
\nNot just because my wife plays in the orchestra, but they are really good! They have family fun days every month, so it\u2019s worth a visit with kids as well.<\/p>\n

Changkat
\nThis is Kuala Lumpur\u2019s party district. Bars and bars everywhere \u2013 you can find craft beer, Thai food, Spanish tapas, jazz, etc. in this area. Literally everything. So, for nightlife, this is the go to place!<\/p>\n

ATV Adventure<\/a>
\nYou can ride ATVs in the jungle! Take the 2-hour route and bring a bathing suit \u2013 the tour includes a crystal clear waterfall where you can swim.<\/p>\n

Skytrex<\/a>
\nThose who seek a little adrenaline boost can try this park. Pass obstacles like walking on ropes, monkey bars, etc. The twist? Do it all on top of the jungle.<\/p>\n

Sunway Lagoon<\/a>
\nAn awesome waterpark in a huge area. You can easily spend a whole day here with kids \u2013 or even without them! We love to go down these crazy big slides.<\/p>\n
