Bukit Bintang

Bukit Bitang Monorail station

Nestled in the south sector of  the Golden Triangle, the most bustling part of Kuala Lumpur. Bukit Bintang is within the  CBD area having most high rise office buildings and 5 star hotels. Bukit Bintang is the shopping paradise for most tourists and also local, you can find a lot of retail outlet along the  prominent retail belt, ranging from a simple retail shop to the popular upscale shopping mall like Pavilion, Starhill, Lot 10 and BerjayaTime Square.

Starhill

For tourists, besides the upscale shopping mall, I would like to suggest the Sungei Wang Plaza which is right at the doorstep of  the Bukit Bintang Monorail Station. Sungei Wang Plaza was the first shopping mall in Bukit Bintang way back in 1978 , still going strong and is very popular among local. There are easily 200 stores with wide range of products to offer.

Pavilion

Beside shopping, Bukit Bintang offer various types of entertainment like massage parlour, foot reflexology, pubs, clubbing, various type of restaurants and eateries stalls. When you talk about FOOD, Malaysia has a lot to offer.

For those who likes to have a few drinks, Water holes near Jalan P Ramlee, you can find The Beach club, Lola Lounge, Modesto’s, Aloha Club, Rum Jungle, Padi House and many others… every night is party nite.

Recently, there is a new area call Ain Arabia, about 150 meters from the Bukit Bintang Monorail station, along Jalan Sultan Ismail ( after Mc Donalds), a side road  Jalan  Berangan ( leads you to Fortuna Hotel ), you will find a concrete arch with the word “AIN ARABIA”.  Most tourists from the Middle East like to visit here as  the restaurants are serving Arabian food,  mini market, souvenir shop are selling products that familiar to the them and thus make them feel at home.

In the evening, looking for dinner,  go straight to Jalan Alor ( unless you don’t like hawker food ), the whole road is line up with hawker stalls along both side of the road, tables and chairs were arranged on the road shoulder, lots of people walking around and vehicles are difficult to get in.

Jalan Alor 2

Jalan Alor is relatively quiet during the day , only after 5pm, it become very lively, you will find a lot of tourists enjoying the local cuisine in the open air by the road side and from their expression…”they shall return”.
