Exploring KUALA LUMPUR: KL Tower and Perdana Botanical Gardens (With Jack Torr)

Vlog No.71: 22nd June 2022
Kuala Lumpur is such a huge city with so much to do and see, so today we are meeting up with a new friend to show us around this crazy city! We started the day with a peaceful walk through the Perdana Botanical Gardens before we made our way into the city to check out KL Tower and take in the amazing skyline that is Kuala Lumpur!
If you haven't already, check out Jack's channel, ‪@JackTorr‬. We had a great day chatting all things KZbin and travel while he showed us some of the landmarks across the big city

Hey, we're Eoin and Aisling, a couple from Ireland who have packed their bags, waved goodbye to home and set off to travel the world in search of new adventures!
We started our journey by spending 3 months walking from the top to the bottom of Croatia and exploring a few of the boarding countries. Then at the start of January 2022 we hopped on a flight to South East Asia!
We hope to be in this part of the world for the next year, but who knows what might happen along the way, our plans are forever changing!
We tend to plan each day as it comes and can't wait to see what the world has in store for us!
Peace out x

[@JackTorr]

Heyyy Guys! It was a pleasure hanging out with you guys!! My video will be posted on Monday!! ❤❤

[@EoinandAisling]

Same here man, best tour guide about 😉 haha and we can't wait to see it!! 🙌🏻

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Good to see u guys collaborating.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Wow, didn't know that u, Jack, has been in Malaysia since Feb, 2 months before d Malaysian is opened for tourists in 1st April. It's more than 3 months already, right Jack.

[@Tawanpawatt]

I jusy watch ur video and come here

[@joharimohdsalleh457]

Beautiful City Botanical Garden..,

[@EoinandAisling]

We loved it there

[@jamalludin5733]

So delightful and inspiring to see young youtubers having fun exploring together. Thanks for extolling the advantages of the KL Tower tour over the overrated twin towers for the benefit of the other foreign travellers.

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you so much and when Jack told us about his experience and the time slots allocated we were very happy with our decision not to go up the twin towers. Plus we absolutely loved KL tower and have recommended friends to go and visit it during their stay

[@shito1978]

I am gonna recommend Putrajaya for the outstanding architecture and parks 👌👍

[@EoinandAisling]

Unfortunately this time we wont have time to visit but hopefully in the future

[@brothersman524]

Putrajaya was awesome - I actually went there after checking out from the KL hotel I was staying in and decided to spend a few hours in Putrajaya since it is between the airport and KL before flying to Singapore - it was worth a few hours visit especially seeing the Putra Mosque, Presidential House, Steel Mosque, Putra Lake and Parks, and Putra Bridges

[@zeedo6516]

Heli lounge bar KL is the best view at night in KL with 360 degree view, menara KH building

[@EoinandAisling]

Wow thank you! We are hoping to head out for a few drinks with friends where would you recommend is the best place in KL in a Friday night?

[@dh9144]

Cheap and attractions available in KL city are the museums, memorials, monuments, art galleries and national palaces. Hopefully you guys can make a next video covering on these attractions on the future.

[@bukitkatilmp]

There is an open air skydeck with glass floor about a few floors above the viewing gallery you were at. But its more expensive. So you got a good deal. 👍 Also may I suggest you take one of the free buses to Templer Park. There's a beautiful park with rivers and jungle but quite outside the city. Another great place would be Sekinchan where you can be in the middle of green rice fields and eat cheap seafood.

[@EoinandAisling]

We were very happy with the offer we got online but I'd say the sky deck would be great as well. Thank you for your recommendations we really appreciate them! We feel like we need a month in KL to see everything

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Bird park is the world's largest but expensive for foreigner price. Used to be rm60

[@EoinandAisling]

I'd say it would have been great but unfortunately we have to be smart with our money and there are just so many other things we want to do in the city

[@ardentblue7493]

Another park/garden that worth to visit in the KL city is the Titiwangsa Lake Garden.

[@EoinandAisling]

We visited it last time we were here but hopefully we will go again now we are back!

[@ardentblue7493]

@@EoinandAisling now they have some activities available on the lake such as paddle boat and also fun horse riding on the weekend.

[@lentoslin360]

You may plan a day trip to Genting Highland. Below some places may put inside ur pocket. 1. Batu Cave 2. Sunway Pyramid 3. Tian Hou Temple 4. Walk Bridge Eco Forest 5. Sultan Abdul Samad and Merdeka Square 7. Central Market for local stuff

[@njamil85]

Thank you for promoting my country. Love from Kuala Lumpur

[@EoinandAisling]

We are very happy to, it's a beautiful place and thank you

[@keangwooichoo6138]

You guys love tall buildings and structures..i cannot wait for pnb 118 to open end of 2022. Tallest observation tower ever on earth.

[@EoinandAisling]

It looks so impressive now, it will be a very cool place to visit in the future

[@ismikhairibn8080]

Maybe next list : Masjid Negara, Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan, Putrajaya 🥰 stay safe guys

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you

[@arielfahmiey8507]

Since the lrt /mrt is free now for 1 month maybe you can try enjoy the circle route from 1 point back to the same station from where you start..for example from masjed jamek>hang tuah>chan show lin>>bandar tun razak>sg besi>bukit jalil>puchong prima>putra height>alam megah>taipan>kelana jaya>kerinchi>kl sentral and back to masjed jamek..that will take maybe 2 hour journey by lrt and enjoy the view for free..

[@EoinandAisling]

We have loved just sitting on the lrt, we have actually found ourselves missing stops just so we can stay on for longer haha

[@saeffareez3337]

Really amazing views of KL City from KL Tower!!!✅ So i just subscribed your channel!!!👍

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you so much we really appreciate it

[@SemutarGuide]

Welcome to Malaysia...I am from state of Kelantan...so called Cradle of Malay Culture..if you want to enjoy the best Malay food just come here..

[@EoinandAisling]

We will have to have a look into your state but we only have a few weeks left in Malaysia so not sure how much more we are going to see

[@alifhashim3752]

Check TheMonkeys channel where the guy goes up the KL Tower Skydeck.

[@EoinandAisling]

We will have to give that a watch, thank you

[@tonytravelstaiwan3248]

Beautiful garden!

[@EoinandAisling]

It really is!

[@sheyone9075]

That second tallest building in world designed by architect from where Jack came from. 😁

[@EoinandAisling]

oh no way haha learn something new everyday

[@kobisrebus7664]

Glad to see that you guys are enjoying KL 👌🏼

[@EoinandAisling]

We love it here! Could easily stay longer

[@haslinddamohamadsainan6952]

I think you missed the little forest next the tower... there are canopy walk..

[@EoinandAisling]

Oh no way! We will have to go back for a better look, thank you

[@joharimohdsalleh457]

You should go there

[@tengkusainy2932]

Wowwww❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍

[@EoinandAisling]

💙

[@OvDevilz]

There is upper floor (additional fees) with open view without glass 'window' and 2 extended glass floor platform. And MENARA is a Malay word for TOWER. View from MENARA KL is more interesting because you can see the TWIN Towers while up the Twin Towers, you can only see one of the twin.

[@EoinandAisling]

That is so interesting! Thank you for sharing we had no idea ☺️

[@acerazak4087]

Perdana Botanical Garden is one the best park in the city and the surrounding are also beautiful...During noon its way too hot most ppl stay indoors when u come in the morning or late afternoon you will see more people hang around and do activities there

[@EoinandAisling]

We didn't mind it too much and it meant there were hardly any people in the park while we were there but it is such a beautiful place we have been back a few times since then

[@chubipower]

You've got some amazing drone shots. It's nice to marvel at the beauty of my capital city from high above. Seems like u guys enjoy parks. Head to putrajaya if you can. There are a lot of parks there, each with their own features.

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you! It's so crazy to see a place from above, it's a full new perspective. We didn't get time to visit and we just left KL but we have alot of videos to share of our time in this great city

[@sharulidris537]

Love you all from mlaysia

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you 💛

[@MrCyberizal]

at 5:00 i was betting myself, if u you guys going to the top of kl tower. i promise to watch all ur videos without failed.. really really .. hahaha

[@EoinandAisling]

Haha I hope you do 🙌🏻

[@edmundchin3286]

Welcome and thanks for visiting us in Malaysia Kuala selangor... blue ters ..fireflies...sky mirror... which are limited countries to offered! Serdang... cow farm that produces fresh milk for Malaysia. All huge shopping malls... Subway pyramid... Most iconic genting highland... Cameron highland...foods and most importantly ppls...🙏

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you for the welcome! Thanks for all the recommendations, we have visited Penang and the Cameron Highlands already but have not put our videos out from there yet so we have seen alot so far and the food is great

[@suzygmazen4207]

There’s a section of that park dedicated for orchids for orchid lovers… there’s about 1,300 species of orchids there..but unfortunately it has been closed since the pandemic… check Saloma link bridge at dusk to night and take your photo of The twin towers from there.. awesome view as the bridge is covered with LED panels that change lights every few minutes.

[@EoinandAisling]

That park sounds lovely! We actually visited the bridge the other day and should have a video out in the next couple of weeks, it was such a lovely place to visit especially at that time of night

[@WanderingMunchers]

Been up there twice in KL tower almost 20 years ago. The view of the city from up there was just awesome. Went up there for free as I was installing audio and musical equipment at the restaurant for a private function. Also got to see the views at night after the function was over when I retrieved my equipment back.

[@EoinandAisling]

That is such a cool story haha, you definitely know the city better than us but we were blew away by the views. I would love to see it at night time, it would be beautiful

[@WanderingMunchers]

@@EoinandAisling oh yes at night it was definitely gorgeous as well albeit with different colour scheme. Black backdrop with lights in orange, yellow, purple, blue, red colour blanketing the city view.

[@brothersman524]

I remember spending a morning in Perdana Botanical Gardens seeing the park, the lake, KL Bird Park and Butterfly Park. I agree that KL Tower has a better 360 degree viewpoint compared to Petronas Tower but I think Petronas Towers viewpoint at night is amazing. After KL Tower, did you not walk to the Eco Forest nearby? it is like a jungle in the city

[@EoinandAisling]

Unfortunately it started raining very heavy when we got down and thunder and lightening soon started so we had to make our way home 👎🏻

[@brothersman524]

@@EoinandAisling Oh that is a shame. Weather can be unpredictable in KL but I have escaped that every time I have been there - only once that it had thunderstorms and that was during the night

[@christinachee7697]

Helipad Bar and Vertigo Bar for KL's night view !

[@EoinandAisling]

Oh I have heard of them, they sound amazing

[@kamarulhisham3203]

taman tasik titiwangsa is more nicer than this park... many local also usually go to taman tasik titiwangsa than this botanical gardens

[@EoinandAisling]

We did not get the chance to visit this time but maybe in the future, thank you for the recommendation

[@BehindTheBackpacks]

Looks like you guys are here at the same time as us! Great video - love the drone footage :) We loved the botanical gardens too, gave us Singapore vibes even though we've not been there yet. Looking forward to seeing more videos!

[@EoinandAisling]

Aw hey guys! How are yous liking the big city? The gardens were so so beautiful and we said the same thing its like a taste of what Singapore might be like

[@BehindTheBackpacks]

@@EoinandAisling Loving it, it's so diverse! Been here for 2 weeks and moving on to Malacca on Monday!

[@roslanrosly1828]

You guys are just amazing 👌

[@EoinandAisling]

This is so lovely, thank you

[@buatop]

If u guys like to explore another green scenery in KL i would love to suggest my fav place. Please go to Taman Tugu Trail and its free btw. Taman Tugu was saved from commercial developers who probably wanted to put another crappy mall on the spot. Instead, it was converted to a 66-acre public park and conservation site with almost 5 kilometres of trails.😃🇲🇾

[@EoinandAisling]

That is so great to see and hear in such a big city it is so important to have parks to get away from it all and enjoy the nature. And thank you for the recommendation we really appreciate it 🙌🏻 The last thing the city needs is another big shopping mall lol we have seen so many already

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thanks for sharing this absolutely wonderful video n your exploration in KL. Good also to see Jack in your vlog.

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you! It was great to spend the day with Jack and here all about his travels and plans for the future, a great lad 🙌🏻

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@EoinandAisling Sounds lovely. 🙂

[@Yasin_Affandi]

There's another beautiful park in d city centre, d titiwangsa lake garden. There's a canopy walk very near d KL Tower.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Actually, across d botanical garden near d Parlimen Road is d national monument, less visited by d tourists.

[@EoinandAisling]

@@Yasin_Affandi if we have time we would love to visit the lake gardens a few people have recommended that we visit them so hopefully we will

[@kopxpert]

5:16 Please explain to us asians how is it easier or more convenient to use fork instead of spoon, when scooping and shoving (especially non-sticky) rice in your mouth. Yes we all know westerners do it but does it not make more sense to use spoon? Just wondering that's all

[@EoinandAisling]

Fully agree with you, spoon makes alot more sense haha we use a spoon all the time now but that is just what we are used to at home

[@jonmath4182]

Nice shots!

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Natural beauty is just as beautiful as concrete jungle.

There is a very nice balance in the city here which we were not expecting, it is so nice to see

[@keangwooichoo6138]

@@EoinandAisling trees are necessary to absorb co2. Like singapore, a garden city is crucial for health. I wish we had more green lung in the city like the eco park forest downtown.

[@EoinandAisling]

@@keangwooichoo6138 we are heading to the eco Park today so we are very excited to see it for ourselves

[@keangwooichoo6138]

@@EoinandAisling there is an entrance fee. Used to be free. I think probably same as the bird park rm 75. Not sure if you purchase online , it will be cheaper like the kl tower. But if it is above your budget, you do not need to do it for the viewers. Coz other youtubers have already done it example: The backpacking family (uk) Adventure campitelli (canada)

[@EoinandAisling]

@@keangwooichoo6138 thank you letting us know we thought it was still free, we would love to see it for ourselves but we will wait and see

Although the Helipad bar - Heli lounge has a magnificent view, it has steep cover charges (RM75-100) . Cheaper alternatives are Sky Bar (Traders Hotel), Banyan Tree rooftop, Aloft rooftop bar or Marini at 57. No cover charges and the drinks are about RM15-35> Take note though, marini have a very strict dress code..

@@EoinandAisling i don't go to clubs myself, but TREC KL is probably one of the most popular ones around kl. it's like a long stretch of street with clubs and bars. and Zouk KL is probably the most high-end club around.

Travel to Freedom channel Jack torr channel Eoin and Aisling channel channel maybe next with sun kissed bucket list channel.. It gonna be another new team that gonna do a road trip around Malaysia.. like What those KZbinr that stay here during MCO in Malaysia.. like Jetlag warrior channel Travelgramer channels ken abroad channel.. a newcomer Dodo explorer channel.. now are joining in only waiting for travelgramer to join in at Sarawak.. Maybe it will take some times to feel comfortable with local like they do.. but a quick tips.. just talk and asked questions to the local.. you might found something interesting stories to tell.. like what happened when with that grab drivers.. the undercover and untold stories that most tourist never had experience.. yeah sometimes we need to know the dark stories so we can avoid unnecessary agenda.. Good video.. and great job.. and have a pleasant day here in Malaysia..
