Five Nights in Kuala Lumpur - We Didn't Want to Leave

Join us this time when we discover the essence of Kuala Lumpur with its iconic attractions and vibrant experiences. In this vlog we marvel at the towering Petronas Twin Towers for their panoramic city views and escape to nature at the tranquil Perdana Botanical Garden. We also Indulge in browising at Bukit Bintang's upscale malls, and explore the bustling street food scene in Chinatown and Little India. Finally we visit the colorful Central Market for local crafts and souvenirs, reach new heights at the Kuala Lumpur Tower and experience the excitement of Jalan Alor, God Bless Street and Graffiti Street. With its diverse offerings, Kuala Lumpur promised an unforgettable journey and we were bowled over by how much we loved it.

Malaysia, especially KL and other major cities are famous as food and shopping heaven because Malaysia is Truly Asia..

[@brothersman524]

I have been to Malaysia 6 times and did 2/3 days stopover in KL every time. This city is amazing and loved every minute of it

[@abdazizabdazizrazali7155]

Thanks bro..😅

[@saladdinX]

Actually non muslims tourists are allowed at the National Mosque. You could have arrived during prayer times, so you were not allowed to enter inside the building. Outside prayer times, everybody is welcomed

[@LisaLisa-mo2tg]

No wonder malaysia are foodheaven.. Every dish from all over the world mix together..

[@zazaza5535]

KL, a comfortable city, lovely restaurants, massive shopping malls, lots of varieties, great parks, and the best weather. Nearby are the cool highland resorts, beaches, pristine jungle with waterfalls. All within reach by magnificent highways.

[@ghrbaa6727]

8:04 those are Selangor silvered langur (Trachypithecus selangorensis). They are endemic to Kuala Lumpur and the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Found nowhere else in the world!

[@kamrulz659]

K.l. is different frm other world 's top cities.its full of greenery as it was in the old days.msia lies near the equator with tropical climate.hot n humid but the rains help a lot the situation to cool down.hope both of u can accomodate well with msia weather😂

[@mikeandcheryl]

Yes, it certainly felt like a very green and there wasn't any real signs of congestion or pollution

[@qeebod]

😁 Yep... for a guy like me with just enough funds to survive daily life that's the main purpose of malls around KL.... to cool you down from the scorching heat!... welcome to KL guys, enjoy your stay and the food as well.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Welcome to KL, Malaysia. Hope that you guys have had a good time and a pleasant stay.

[@sally2869]

The place you had your food is called mamak stall. Most opened 24 hours. Try the roti canai.( flat bread with curry ) You will love it.

[@mikeandcheryl]

Many thanks for the suggestion I will certainly give it a try it sounds super tasty

[@azmeelothman2976]

​@@mikeandcheryl Shhh!!! At first glance you look like Sean Connery 😁

[@mikeandcheryl]

@@azmeelothman2976 Thank you very much I certainly take that as a huge compliment....!

[@nickloong]

You should try out the authentic Malaysian foods when you're here, in one of the food paradise of the world! 😊

[@mikeandcheryl]

Great advice, will do.

[@jeromegun7201]

Welcome to Malaysia:) Have fun and enjoy your trip:)

[@keangwooichoo6138]

It is called a food court. You can go around to order. Just remember your table number

[@mikeandcheryl]

Thanks for the top tip. I do love trying all the different stalls out.

Hello from Phuket…… You guys have certainly made the most of your travels & you’ve definitely gone up in the world in your posh KL apartment since we met you in the bamboo shacks on Koh Lanta 😂. You’ll be back home now & soon wondering was it all a dream ! But I’m sure you’ll be off sometime in the near future for more adventures. Congratulations on your first 1k subscribers as well. Keep growing the channel, I’ll be watching. Tony & Sirin ❤❤

[@mikeandcheryl]

We did manage to get to Penang and Langkawi (next week's Vlog is all about Penang) but didn't make it to either Cameron Highlands or Malacca. We were so impressed with Malaysia that we will certainly be back and will visit both, as others have also said they are well worth a visit.

[@rogerjohnson898]

I'M SOSOSO GLAD U2 ARE HAVING SOSOSO MUCH FUNS IN MY CITY!!! MORE TO COME EH....

The next vlog will be out later today. This time from Penang.

Thanks for sharing..you both such a cheerful lovely couple… Btw Mike, by any chance you are a distant relative to Sean Cconnery? 😊

[@65rainz]

Even the muslims are not allowed to enter the mosque during the praying time if they just want to walk around to take photos.

[@norzilahaziz6695]

TQ Mike for visiting..appreciated..have a plesant stay sir..

[@ahmadmustakhimabdmutalib59]

Near Batucaves 8km is KL Zoo Negara

[@goodguyaus]

Mike, if you're swinging by KL again, the Dharma Realm Monastery vegan eatery might be of culinary interest. Thanks for taking us along on your travelogue, felt like I was back in vibrant Kuala Lumpur again!

[@mikeandcheryl]

Many thanks for the suggestion. KL and Singapore are both stopping off grounds from the UK on the way out further East or to NZ and Australia. We will certainly be in KL again we loved it.

[@goodguyaus]

Hopefully, this will give you inspiration to visit a few. You live in such a beautiful, vibrant city. You are very lucky indeed.

@@mikeandcheryl thank you, hope you enjoyed your stay.

Reincarnation of Michael Jackson 😂😂😂 loved it

[@mikeandcheryl]

He was a genuine fan for sure. Even waiting to the side for the previous act to finish he was fully in the role.....🤣🤣. Tbh he was very good and everyone loved him

[@user-hv3br7hb9k]

How did you find all the places you visited, is there a guide book or did you just wing it

[@mikeandcheryl]

A few days before we go anywhere we google things to do in (insert place) and we do the same on KZbin. We then choose the ones we want to do during the week and I write a list of 15 or so in a notebook. As we do each one we cross them off the list. If we are talking to people and they suggest other places we add them on.

[@user-hv3br7hb9k]

Thanks 👍

[@jaysphere7519]

Which country are you from? We will switch.

[@mikeandcheryl]

England. ...not sure about switching though....🤣

[@jaysphere7519]

@@mikeandcheryl 🤣🤣🤣yeah, as much I thought so too.

[@carlosmartins8771]

whats the name of the property you stayed at?

[@mikeandcheryl]

This is a link to the property on booking.com. It is a little complicated in that there are numerous people renting suites out in a huge building. You will see many mixed reviews about the building and the apartments. Most of these seem to relate to poor service from the front desk, poor comms with the person renting it out and the lifts always being full. All I can say is we never had to wait for a lift for more than a few minutes and the person we rented it from met us in the lobby, so we didn't have to deal with the front desk. He also responded very quickly to any requests and was on time to hand it back to at the end. I would rent from this user again.

[@yongikton8258]

Those people working at the front lines esp those at the big eateries places are foreigners who hardly know how to speak English. Please get to move to each counters at the foodstalls to choose food of yr choice,not their choice. There are always western cuisine too,apart from the Malays & Chinese. Have a nice stay in KL.

[@moisnhcrnr]

I didn't understand what you said about having to buy a ticket in Vietnam in order to get our of Malaysia. What's that about?

[@mikeandcheryl]

Apparently it is a requirement of Malysian Immigration that visitors have a ticket to leave the country again when they enter. When we went to check in for the flight in Vietnam the airline would not check us in unless we had a ticket to get back out of Malaysia afterwards. They explained that if we didn't have one and they let us board the aircraft and we were refused entry to Malaysia they would be responsible for taking us back in to Vietnam. In order to do this I just went on to booking.com and booked the cheapest flight possible (£19 - no luggage -Penang to Singapore) They then let us board. Interestingly enough, when we got to Malaysia they did check we had accommodation booked and travel out of the country booked too. I was unable to change the flight with booking.com nor get a refund so we simply didn't show for the the flight and eventually flew out a week or two later. It made no difference as we were stamped in for 90 days. Hope that helps.

[@moisnhcrnr]

@@mikeandcheryl Interesting. Thanks for the info.

[@65rainz]

Are you related to Sean Connery?

Why are you interested in cemetaries?

[@mikeandcheryl]

I am not a religious person; however, I have a strange attraction to churches, temples, cemeteries etc. I just find them very serene and calming places that fascinate me.

[@iamurmakteh]

Visit a mosque for a change, there r many beautiful n tranquil mosques i Malaysia. We r a muslim majority country, it would be good to learn more abt Islam so that all the misinformation about it will be cleared. Welcome to Malaysia.​@@mikeandcheryl
