As our flight was in the evening, we still had half a day to spend in KL before going to the airport. After checking out of the hotel, we left our luggage at the hotel reception and decided to explore around the vicinity. We finally had a chance to take a clearer look of the LRT track extending into Bangsar Trade Centre (formerly Plaza Pantai), where our hotel resides (at Tower D).
Across the road is the landmark Menara TM (Telekom Malaysia Tower), a prominent 55-storey building about 270 m away from the hotel. Standing at 310-meter-tall, it is shaped to represent a sprouting "bamboo shoot" and is regarded as the first twisted skyscraper in the world. The complex also includes a 2,500-capacity theatre, a large prayer hall (surau) and a sports facility. A unique feature of the tower is its 22 open sky gardens alternating every three floors.
We then took the LRT to Mid Valley Megamall which is just one LRT station away.
It's about lunch time and we had our meals at Secret Recipes.
After lunch, Jerlene and Javier had ice cream/frozen yoghurt at Yolé.
Mid Valley Megamall is really a massive mall and after spending few hours walking around the mall, I think we had covered less than 50% of it.
At about 3pm, we returned to our hotel to collect our luggage. We then took a Grab ride to the airport. The first Grab driver saw that we had 2 luggage and refused to pick us up. He insisted we cancel the Grab request and fortunately we were able to get a refund for the cancellation through the customer service case. The second Grab driver picked us up without question asked.
Before boarding, we had a light meal at Burger King. It was very rush because we spent more than 30 minutes waiting to collect our orders.
Similar to the previous flight from SIN to KUL, we were served with a light meal and once again, it was very rush because the flight started descending the moment the meal was served.
This marked the end of our short trip to Kuala Lumpur.
