The REAL BUKIT BINTANG - The Heart of KUALA LUMPUR!

The district of Bukit Bintang is the heart of Kuala Lumpur in terms of shopping, food and nightlife. In this video I'll show around, show you what it's really like and why you should stay here!
We'll visit some of the malls of the area (The oldest - Sungei Wang Plaza, The most techie - Plaza Low Yat and the biggest - Berjaya Times Square). Finally the Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport for lunch at the amazing Hawker Chan KL branch.
There'll be plenty of colourful street art to explore around Jalan Rembia, Alor Backspace and Graffiti alley.
We'll see the famous Jalan Alor Food Street where the tourists eat, but head for food at the Lot 10 Hutong Food Court where the locals eat.
And of course we'll finish off at the main nightlife street of the city, Changkat Bukit Bintang.
Come with me and I'll give you a great feel for what it's like in the heart of KL!

We've been to KL recently, and we loved it! KL is so underated... thanks for sharing this!

[@ChrisKermis]

It really is underrated, I think KL and Malaysia generally are great to visit! Thanks for watching

[@jonmath4182]

_Terima kasih_ Thank you to both of you for the kind compliments on KL/malaysia. On the other hand, I myself have also had the pleasant opportunity to visit some places in the UK, italy and the netherlands too apart from a few other european countries/cities, and view for myself the beautiful things in these places which I have truly enjoyed 👍 But at the same time I'm also very much looking forward to going back to malaysia 😬

[@khangems]

understanding well in bukit bintang area , time passed more development happening ,ie :- use of monorail system travel around, MRT line 1 , walk way from Pavillion mall to KLCC , famous of Arab food surrounding , premier mall of pavillion mall n food court, lalaport mall n etc. hope see more you video

[@ChrisKermis]

I've been a few times to KL (before I started recently on KZbin) so it's not new to me, though I've certainly seen it change since I first visited in 2006. I didn't have much time there on this visit, but sometime over the next year I want to return and make a lot more videos in KL and Malaysia. It's such a beautiful country and it's the place that first drew me to SE Asia back in 2006. They'll be a video set in Chinatown coming next Sunday. Thanks for watching!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Sungei Wang plaza is an old mall. Old is gold

[@keon79]

Bukit Bintang literally means Star Hill

[@ChrisKermis]

Ah wow, I never knew that. Beautiful name!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Low yatt is a dreamland for tech people for sure

[@ChrisKermis]

I could have easily spent some money here if I was't travelling with hand luggage only!

[@Taco-C]

Asian food, I love it.👌So many different flavors and dishes. Nice video Chris!👍

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you! It's been a while since I was in KL and it was great to be back

[@HarjitDhaliwal]

Awesome highlights of Kuala Lumpur locations and food. Thanks for sharing.

[@dr.sakornmahahing]

Amazing

[@ebensteven8138]

Great vid, bro! You can really pack that food back, lol. I am heading there in a week, 5hanks for the info/tour

[@ChrisKermis]

Enjoy your time there!

[@nouraaz27]

Love ur video! Very informative

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you!

[@ruslileman3787]

Awesome video ...bravo Chris

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you!

[@LanzFrancis]

Cendol need to mix first...then eat

[@ChrisKermis]

It was really something very different to me so I wanted to try the parts separately to see what they were like. It did taste better with everything together though!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Cheers to you

[@genericgeneration3161]

Love the video and youre cool guy 👍🏻 im from Sabah (East malaysia) and will be going there for just the fourth time in my life, so this time i thought about looking at videos from a westerner’s perspective. Ironically as a malaysian, i hate durian 😂

[@ChrisKermis]

Haha thank you! Keep trying with the durian and eventually you may like it!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Awesome durian snack

[@ChrisKermis]

Though I've had it a few times, this is the first time I actually liked it!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Welcome

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you!

[@rosliyatim711]

Watch Saturday Night Fever movie at Sg Wang Plaza once it is opened.

[@5tr1f3]

Hawker Chan is a former Michellin 1 star soy chicken originated from Singapore

[@ChrisKermis]

I certainly enjoyed the one there in KL, wouldn’t hesitate to go back next time

[@kcc66]

good. that u eat durian well. 👍🏽👍🏽🤗.

[@ChrisKermis]

I can't believe I liked it this time! Tried it a few times in the past and never did but I guess it really is an acquired taste!

[@jonmath4182]

@@ChrisKermis okay I have a question for you, interrogation time hahah 😂 What about durian that you hated/disliked (several times) previously? Was it exclusively the strong nasty overpowering smell that made you simply couldn't bring yourself to eat/swallow the flesh? Was it the smell, plus the soft creamy texture that stopped you in your track? Or was it the taste, which you found weird, hence unacceptable?

[@ChrisKermis]

Sure, the texture is like custard, no problem there. The smell is really off-putting, and aroma is really directly linked to flavour so I guess that’s it. When I tried it this time, I did get the off-putting aroma, but not as much as I’ve experienced it in the past, and then it became more subdued in the flavour. It’s hard to say more than that, but at this point I would eat it again and not think of it as something potentially disgusting but as something enjoyable in a strange way.

[@louis20122]

I bet it is very cold inside the malls.

[@ChrisKermis]

You’d think so but it’s not bad at all. Refreshing compared to outside but certainly not cold enough to want more than a T shirt

[@DolahDaleh-iu4pu]

Selamat Datang Terimakasih🤎

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you!

[@badrulhisham7287]

Durian is like a blue cheese.... stinky but nice to the palate of the lovers

[@ChrisKermis]

Haha yes and also an acquired taste, it took me a while before I started enjoying blue cheese!

[@t700qwe8]

Star Hill..

[@ChrisKermis]

It’s a lovely name!

[@phil5101]

Its a MURAL not MURIAL, lol, still nice to see

[@ChrisKermis]

As long as you liked the video apart from that :-). Thanks!

[@CRUZEOO]

its not bucket bintang 😂 its "bookit" bintang (book-it)

[@ChrisKermis]

Ooops I feel a bit silly now! I've been getting it wrong and it's about the 5th time I've vistied! At least now I know

[@CRUZEOO]

@@ChrisKermis no worries man, just want u to look cooler when u say infrnt of other expats 😆

[@mohdyusuffsharif944]

Kueler lamper...

[@kr22100]

That big yellow m sign behind you in that square and you completely ignored it Chris! Shameful...

[@ChrisKermis]

😂😂😂

[@jonmath4182]

McD??? 🤔

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Eat rice with spoon, not fork

[@ChrisKermis]

Western eating habits 🙂

[@herryherry8659]

​@@ChrisKermis It's ok, we understand..😊.. Even when i studied culinary at university in Malaysia, we been taught that Westerners eat rice with fork.... 😊

[@keon79]

it does not matter. we dont like them to impose their eating etiquette, we are not suppose to do that to them as well. as long as we enjoy food, that'll be fine eh?

[@ChrisKermis]

@@keon79 That's the most important thing!

[@duasegitigatattoo4533]

That is not how you eat "Cendol"

[@redmi9anio]

Sungai Wang literally means Money River. Sungai = River Wang = Money

[@ChrisKermis]

Not the worst name for a mall I guess!

[@azharidris7092]

you ate the cendol wrong.. should have mix it up altogether..

[@ChrisKermis]

It was new to me so I wanted to see what the various parts taste like, after that it was all together though :)
