Welcome to Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia! Batu = Stone in the Malay language & the Golden Dewa statue infront of the entrance of this famous Batu Caves is to revere Dewa Murugan , the Dewa Brother of Dewa Ganesha / Ganapati / Sri Sakhthi Vinayagar ( The Elelphant Faced Dewa ) & Both are the Dewa Sons of Maha Dewa Shiva & Maha Dewi Parvati. Malaysia encountered the North Eastern Monsoon from November to early January , while February is the hottest month to coincide with the Lunar New Year celebration ... This year 2025 after the 1st Day of the Lunar Month will be the Wood Snake! You guys missed the Christmas decorations on the many Shopping Malls around KL & can check them out in other channels that recorded them! Stay safe , healthy , stay vigilant & stay humble guys! Wishing a late Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year 2025 to Everybody! 🙏🌷🌿🍎🍊🫐🥘🍕🍔🍟🍰🍵

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thank you for sharing all these fascinating details about Kuala Lumpur and the Batu Caves! We always love to learn more about the history and culture!. We missed the Christmas decorations this time round, but maybe next time! A late Merry Christmas to you too we hope you had a fantastic celebration, and wishing you a healthy and wonderful start to 2025 too! ❤️

KUALA LUMPUR AFFORDABLE LUXURY LIFE =)

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thank you for watching!. We had the most amazing time in Malaysia, and Kuala Lumpur was truly a luxurious experience! We can’t wait to come back to Malaysia in our future travels!

[@jennyli7144]

😂not sure how long you've been away but 2 coffees and a cake in England now is about £16 😔. Love your videos, we went to the Batu Caves in 1999, lots of monkeys but not painted the colours it is now, Georgetown also wasn't the destination it is now.

[@Ashleighandluke]

Haha, £16 for coffees and cake? We might need to extend our travels a bit longer! 😅 Thank you so much for watching and sharing your memories ❤️ -Batu Caves was an amazing experience! Georgetown was such a highlight for us too, and definitely somewhere we could see ourselves going back too!

[@goodguyaus]

Thank you for the price comparison 🙏. Makes one nod in agreement with some retirees' decision to make Malaysia a viable resting spot. (😤those darned little monkey ruffians)

[@Ashleighandluke]

You’re absolutely right - the price difference in SE Asia is eye-opening! Malaysia definitely offers a lot of value, and we can definitely see why retirees and/or digital nomads are drawn to it. As for the monkeys, they might be mischievous, but they sure add character to the experience! 😄

[@goodguyaus]

@@Ashleighandluke Ahaha, oh, hi Ashleigh and Luke! Just finishing watching up your video and adding a comment (for the algorithm😋) to the main section...now. Yup yup. Been watching channels such as Taylor, Nomad Capitalist, and Our Journey to Success and Saira Haiyati (for a different sub-set). 🙈to the monkeys; one bit me mum there - truth be told, not undeserved, she was kinda teasing them at the time 🙄

[@alleymittanderson5799]

1999 was wayyyyyyyy to long 😅 i am moving in to Kuala Lumpur in 2000 and i am telling you, even with 25yrs in Selangor & Kuala Lumpur i am still lost in the city while driving.. To update the development for the whole country, i always doing a round trip around Malaysia (literally hopping from one states to another) for every 3-5 yrs 😊

[@zarinaabdulghani8237]

17 jan to 23 feb 2025 - biggest light show event at bukit jalil kuala lumpur accassible by LRT. google first to know. first time happening in KL probably. there's another pavilion mall in bukit jalil as well. mostly residential area

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thanks for the info! That sounds like an amazing experience!. Unfortunately we won’t be local at that time but we’ll be sure to check out the videos after the event! ❤️

Welcome to KL 🇲🇾🤟😘

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thank you ❤️

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Welcome to KL Malaysia. Hope that you guys have had a good time and a pleasant stay. Happy New Year 2025.

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thank you so much! We’ve absolutely loved our time in Malaysia, and KL is such an amazing city!. Happy New Year to you too! 🎉❤️

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@Ashleighandluke That sounds lovely. Thank you for your kind wishes. Have a great day. 😀

[@nickloong]

You should have mixed the caramel with the pudding first. They go together really well. Lol!😅

[@Ashleighandluke]

Haha that’s a great tip! We wish we’d thought of that! The food at the bakery was honestly so delicious!, and now we have another reason to go back next time we’re in KL! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@secretserviceinc]

You're so pretty dear 😭❤❤

[@Ashleighandluke]

Aw, thank you so much! 🥰 We’re so glad you enjoyed watching-hope to see you in the next one! 🎉✨

[@ShaqShaq-mf5ys]

Come again holiday in Malaysia..

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thanks so much for watching! We loved Malaysia and definitely plan on coming back in the future! ❤️

[@smunif]

It's a pity you didn't really get to sample the local food. KL (and Malaysia) has a lot more to sample food wise. The irony is that you were not far from some locations where you would have had very much more reasonably priced meals...

[@Ashleighandluke]

You’re absolutely right, there’s so much more to explore when it comes to KL’s food scene. But it gives us even more reason to go back ☺️ We’ll make sure to dive deeper into the local flavors next time we visit. Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!

[@nurhanaprinting9444]

did u guys see the second tallest tower in the world and eat the world best bread in the world

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thanks for watching! 😊 We did manage to see the second tallest tower from a distance, but unfortunately, we didn’t have time to explore it or try the world’s best bread? 🥖🤤 Definitely something to look forward to when we return!

[@nurhanaprinting9444]

@@Ashleighandluke actually yesterday already open the second tallest tower in the world

[@janjones7105]

Can I ask what the name of the apartment was please?

[@ZaiNaL_81]

Quill Residences

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thanks so much for watching and @ZaiNal_81 thanks for responding! We booked using booking.com and the listing shows up as Quill Suites KLCC. Hope that helps!

[@leodavinclavigan6166]

Tips: When you travel to Malaysia, you don’t want missed to try Malaysia Indian food wich is next level. That one you tried was Indian food, not same with Malaysia Indian food.

[@Ashleighandluke]

Thanks for the tip! We’ll definitely keep an eye out for some authentic Malaysian Indian food next time we’re in Malaysia. Do you have any specific recommendations we should try?

[@leodavinclavigan6166]

@ it is hard to specify one, and if my recommendation could “hurt” Malaysian opinion as they quite sensitive and willing to start WW3 over thier food preferences😆. I would say you might want to google “Restoren Nasi Kandar Paling Sedap Di KL” or in English “The Best Nasi Kandar Restaurant in KL” (put “for vegan” if you bring vegan friends”) and you pick one to start your journey. Plan your “journey” as you might need toilet if your gut not ready for “diversity”. God bless god speed👌💪

Crème caramel!

[@Ashleighandluke]

I (Luke) looked at this comment so confused, and as it read it to Ashleigh all she said was , OMG yesssss! Haha it was absolutely Crème caramel that she describing! 😂 Thanks for watching ❤️

[@Pahakyy]

30 quid nowadays. sheesh. Prices have jumped.

[@Ashleighandluke]

The food was honestly so amazing it was definitely worth it 😋 Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@matizam7932]

The opposite way....euro/western come to asian for summer and asian go to euro for winter 😂😂😂

[@Ashleighandluke]

Having spent Christmas and New Year’s in the sunshine this year, we couldn’t help but miss the cozy magic of cold winter nights by the fire that the UK brings during the holidays. That said, escaping the January blues has been a definite win! 😅

[@matizam7932]

@Ashleighandluke hahaha yup... enjoy ur holidays at here and welcome to Malaysia 😊

[@bluestarfishsea]

Nice video! You guys are failing at eating the amazing + much more affordable Malay food available. Near quill city mall? You have so much amazing food at your door step…u need to stop looking for the boujie touristy places + look for nasi campur, nasi kandar, or nasi lemak with beef rendang 👌or mee curry or char sui wonton mee.

@bluestarfishsea Thank you for the food tips! We definitely need to explore more of the local food scene-those dishes sound incredible. We definitely plan on going back to Malaysia so we’ll make sure to hunt them down next time! Thanks for watching ❤️

@damlwt6657 haha rewarding ourselves with amazing local food every time someone subscribes sounds like a great idea to us 😅❤️
