Usually we shop for:

1. Kid's clothes - cheap!
2. Accesories for ladies - large variety
3. Men's clothing - cheap and large variety at Jusco and Metro
4. Toys for kids
5. MAKAN!
6. Misc stuff like watch, contact lenses (super cheap), bags, shoes, etc

We go there mostly for the food than shopping

Oh..where to get good toys for kids? Do they have the educational kind..I am thinking of making a day trip up to KL just to shop shop..heard that the shopping is good :lol:

[mrswongtuition]

Educational toys you must head to the newer high end malls. But it's still cheaper than SG

Sportswear is also cheap

For contact lenses, I get from a shop in Sungei Wang Plaza (Bukit Bintang area - very old shopping mall). Nice boss. If you run out of contact lenses and want more but can't make a trip up, they will mail it to you (transfer to their SG bank acct, then pay a small amt for shipping). Very convenient.

If you intend to buy in person, they need a few days to order. Best to email them a picture of your current box then they will order for you so you can collect when you reach.

I'm using a brand called Biomedics. Definitely cheaper than SG. I think around 30-40% cheaper (mine is toric monthly disposable lenses). I personally find it more comfy than Acuvue or B&L. They have other brands too, do email or call them to check out

Mid Valley is huge. They have BOTH Jusco and Metro there

It took us 2 whole days to cover the whole shopping centre properly!
And some people like to hang out/lounge at cafes, there are quite a few there too.

I'm starting to miss KL!
My mum is going up next week *NOT FAIR*
They always drive up (I think once or twice a month).

If you like to shop, can also go 1-Utama/Curve/Ikano, all quite close to each other. Just that they are in PJ. We usually drove there from KL.

We only head there when we have to visit Gramps
The drive there is not easy if caught in jam!

Hi i like berjaya times square hotel at jln imbi.

Have stayed there 2x and going again this year end.
I like it cos it is big and the 4 of us can stay comfortably.
And it's location is very convenient.
Also it is very tall and if you are lucky, you may get the view of the KL twin tower!

Thanks for the info..is it at least 4 stars? My Dh quite particular about such things.. :roll:

A must go: MID VALLEY MEGA MALL. I love that place (so does my boy).

The Penang food at Centre Court 2nd Level is sedap!
Thinking about it makes me crave for Penang Laksa.......

I heard about Mid Valley Mega Mall too, cant wait to go after reading your posts :love:

The cab thing sounds scary..what if all the cabs do not want to go by meter?

Yes, if you are from a big shopping centre eg berjaya times square and you want to go to sun way lagoon, you can purchase a prepaid coupon outside the shopping centre.

Yes it is definitely 4 stars hotel.
I like it cos it is big.
The smallest room has a kitchenette, living room and bedroom.
All the rooms are suites.
It is so convenient as it is located in Jln Imbi within walking distance to shopping areas and good food. The LRT station is right at its door step.
Btw, this hotel is located within the shopping mall itself which also houses the Cosmo theme park.

Thank YOU, now I know exactly where to go! Have you heard anything about Bangsar? My friend told me the shopping there is not bad
