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.

Hi,

Is the Curve nice to shop? Plan to go this place for shopping since I have never been there. Is the similar to 1-Utama? How do you compare the Curve and 1-Utama? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi loner, the total toll charges for 2 way is ard rm100... Not more than rm100.. U can buy n top up the \" touch n go card\" for paying tolls... We drove up to kl very frequent and just came back last week after one week stay...I love to visit berjaya times square shopping mall cos there is an indoor theme park n good shopping there....

To all those that intend to fly through KLIA (esp those on budget flight without check in luggage), KLIA has just implemented a 5kg maximum limit.!!!!

Hi,


Anyone knows where to get cheap luxury bags in KL, or is Singapore cheaper?

Looking from the page.. looks like no additional handbags etc.. just 1 baggage only.. wow.. that's strict.. I wonder will they enforce it for LCCT too.. cos if they do.. the budget airlines will have issues loh..

Hi would like to find out how to go KL Central from LCCT? I’m visiting KL mid Dec by airasia with my 2 young kids, husband, brother in law and mother in law. Seems like the mrt service from the airport quite expensive but my 19 months boy may not be able to take it if we got stuck in the bus for too long.


Also where to shop for adult and children clothing?
Any food to recommend? It’s our first time visit KL.

For the next KL trip probably next year would like to drive up, anyone can enlighten how to drive up from Singapore? My hubby nor me understand the Malay language, if anyone can give detailed route direction would be great!


Regards

Since there are so many of you going, it is more worthwhile to take a taxi.
You can hire a MPV taxi.

You can purchase a taxi coupon from LCCT to KL.
If you are staying in a hotel in KL, you buy a taxi coupon to KL, then when you get into the taxi, you tell the driver specifically to go to your destination.

I find the LCCT more efficient than KLIA.
I just returned from KL.
At KLIA i had to take a shuttle from the plane to the arrival terminal!
Then there was a long long queue at the immigration.
After clearing immigration we could not find the belt to collect the luggage.
Had to go to the luggage claim department and then i realized that my luggage was at a belt that had stopped, apparently i arrived there late!

In KL, you may purchase taxi coupons outside the big shopping centres to get to your destination.

For cheap things, Berjaya Times Square n Sungei Wang are good. These 2 places are just opposite each other.
Others are mid valley, sunway lagoon shopping centre.
KLCC offers branded stuff, but these things are cheaper in Singapore.

Overseas Family restaurant and Tangkak Beef Noodles along Jalan Imbi are worth trying.
The Penang Village in the basement of Berjaya Times Square is also good.

Berjaya Times Square also has a theme park called Cosmo's world on the highest floor. Your toddler may enjoy it.
You may want to visit Colmar Tropicale which is 45 min away from KL.
It is on a hill so the air is cooler.
You can book a day tour there at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel Concierge at $52 ringgit (2 way inclusive of entrance fees).
Hope you enjoy your trip!
