finally, a taste of KL

after so many visits to malaysia, i finally managed to get out of penang and even kulim to see kuala lumpur.  i stayed with juli and king the two days i scheduled to look around kl.  i'd have to say i am not disappointed, kl is a great city.  here are some things i take with me leaving this beautiful part of malaysia.

• hungry for some roti boy.  i seriously am not a bread person but this one is just downright delicious.  freshly baked bread crisp on the outside with a hint of coffee + some melted butter inside.  i definitely could have this on a daily basis.
• petronas towers.  one word - magnificent.  this is quite an engineering marvel, from the design to its finished construction.  i feel bad manila doesn't have anything that comes close to the twin towers.  the view from the sky bridge is unbelievable - breathtaking even.  its too bad the maxis tower was built so close to it.  that building kind of ruins an otherwise great view of petronas.
• putrajaya.  there's quite no other place like it.  when i saw this city, i couldn't help but marvel about how beautiful it is.  you'd feel like you've been transported into some beautiful and perfect city.  i couldn't even believe the lake was man-made.  the buildings, the houses, the government offices - words to describe how beautiful they are escape me.  and the mosque right beside the lake - its just awesome.  the lamp posts in this city are even different from area to area plus there are numerous bridges that are by themselves architecturally beautiful.
• food, delicioso.  so while i still painfully shy away from the really hot stuff, i'd have to say i enjoyed feasting on traditional malay, indian and chinese food while i am in malaysia.  you just gotta love the unique taste of the food.  i even got a taste of authentic vietnamese noodles courtesy of juli & king's neighbor.  yum! there's no stopping now.
• transportation.  while riding a cab is pretty expensive in penang, the transportation in kl is pretty efficient - reminiscent of the MRT in singapore though not as clean though.  buses are pretty efficient and comfortable.  the best though is the KLIA express which is 28-min train ride to the airport.  KLIA by the way is very beautiful that i cringe everytime i remember what NAIA looks like.
• Juli & King - perfect hosts.  my trip to KL would have been half as fun if not for Juli & King being such gracious hosts.  thanks for making my stay a fun and memorable one.

this trip to malaysia has truly been a memorable one.  it is a photographer's haven and there's just so many things and places to shoot i don't think i've done it justice.  i did shoot a few pictures and i can't wait to post them soon.  there's a whole bunch of them that needs sorting and yeah, i don't really know when i'd be able to go over them.  crossing my fingers that its soon.

for now, my next journey is here in singapore.  some places i just need to visit while i'm here. definitely a fun week ahead.
