Why I Love Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾

Returning to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I take a stroll around Little India, Chinatown, and the Petronas Towers, in addition to trying some local food.

I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and KZbinr who's been to 61 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017.
I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This marked the start of my efforts to turn vlogging into a full-time job.
After that European trip I explored much of Asia: visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan.
I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.
I've travelled to North America just once as a KZbinr, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.
In 2022, I took my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting Kenya and Tanzania, before heading to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, and afterwards going back to Italy for the second time to cover Milan and Sicily. I then visited the Caribbean for the first time, covering the Dominican Republic, before heading to both Brussels and Amsterdam, then covering Taiwan and the Philippines in Asia. I finished off the year with a trip around Morocco.
I started my travels in 2023 by finally visiting Paris, taking the Eurostar from London. I then headed over to Qatar for a few days, before heading to Asia, with videos following from India, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Mongolia, Thailand and Sumatra (Indonesia).

KL is my favourite city that I have been to having been there 6 times already and I've seen many great cities like Bangkok, Singapore, Rome, Lisbon, Barcelona, Tokyo, NY, Florence, Jakarta, Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Athens, Madrid, Cairo and more but KL is definitely my No.1

[@JasonBillamTravel]

That’s quite a compliment!

[@leealex24]

KL is the 6th most visited city in the world now. Only time will tell and perhaps with people like you, that it will make the city break into the top 5 globally.

[@brothersman524]

@@leealex24 Trust me, it is an amazing city rich with culture, history, modern, greenery - it has everything. I am planning to retire in KL as well = want to get away from the horrible cold weather in England

[@brothersman524]

[@TravelbyDartTV]

History whispers from ancient mosques and modern marvels stand tall, reminding you that KL is a city of contrasts. I climedb the Batu Caves for blessings and brag about it on Instagram, then snap a selfie with the Petronas Towers for good measure. But kidding aside, I just missed the time when I was there filming one of our TV show episode. I am sure, I'm coming back.

If you wanna check out a variety of Malay food, take the LRT to Kampung Baru. There’s A LOT of interesting dishes especially from Kelantan and Terengganu 😊

[@rcBorneo]

Hi Jason, new subscriber here and glad to know that you will visit Borneo one day. Kuching and Kota Kinabalu are 2 small cities on Malaysian Borneo but the tropical rainforest is the highlight here. People come here to enjoy the nature and the wild life. You will enjoy it, cheers!

[@Gymson]

What is best time to visit Borneo?

[@rcBorneo]

Drier season is from March to October. I say drier because occasional rain is unpredictable. If you like to attend cultural festivals, Sabah celebrates Harvest Festival on 30 & 31 May, and Sarawak celebrates Gawai Day on 1June.

[@foodblogjunky]

Loved all the recent videos . How about exploring the Philippines again

[@SparkySenor]

It's great to see you back in KL albeit for a short stay. My favourite area to stay in is Puduraya, as there is lots to see and do within walking distance. I hope you manage to make your way to Borneo, I loved the Damai Peninsula & Kuching, there was nothing wrong with Kota Kinabalu but I didn't feel it. I missed Brunei as I skipped off to Cambodia (via KL) to meet up with a group of friends, which was actually the highlight of my trip.

[@55jhjhjkjk]

me waking up in the morning and joining Jason on his walk through KL....great start of the day 🙂 thanks Jason

Great conclusion

[@SaskiaStange]

it was my first trip to Malaysia in January this year and i came from Bangkok to KL. First days for me it was a bit to different compare to all the other Cities in SEA and i didńt like it at this time. Everything was new and so clean i missed the chaos from BKK or Phnom Penh for example. But meanwhile a few days later i begun to love KL and the country with the lovely people there so much so thats so difficult to say what is my favorite country now in SEA, but i can say that Malaysia is on the way to the Best there for my in personal

I used to visit the Old China Cafe's sister property called Precious at the Central Market. They have the same menu, including the blue Nasi Lemak. The blue tinge came from the petals of the Butterfly Pea flowers. The petals are steeped in hot water to extract the hue. The same process applies to Nasi Kerabu. Usually,y I'd order the Nasi Lemak with Cincaluk omelette. Fyi, cincaluk is fermented shrimp in a bottle. The blue Nasi Lemak is one of many Peranakan Chinese dishes that one must try, besides the Pong Teh chicken, pineapple prawn curry and Tim Duck.
