Chinatown Kuala Lumpur

I've lived in KL for 4 years previously, and KL remains one of my favourite places to visit for its food and culture. Here is a short 3-day guide in Kuala Lumpur with some of my favourite restaurants for you to choose from (with some extra suggestions that I could not cover in 3 days). I hope you enjoy this guide. Any tips would be appreciated 😊

STOP doing Malaysia the wrong way 🛑 Skip the hours of research and get my ultimate Malaysia itinerary for 2-3 weeks. From the vibrant streets of Kuala Lumpur to the serene Perhentian Islands, the picturesque tea plantations, lush rainforests of Borneo, and a quick pit-stop in Singapore, this guide covers it all. What’s included in my guide? 🛫 Everything is practically planned for you: I've thought of everything from the flights you need to take to reach each destination along the itinerary, to crafting an itinerary that minimizes flight times. This is especially important as Malaysia is not very well connected with air travel to more remote places outside the cities. 🗺️ Perfectly optimized itinerary: Minimize travel times and layovers. 🚍 Logistics made easy: Links to book transportation and hotels. 📅 In-depth details: Best times to visit, daily city itineraries, and budget breakdowns. 🔑 Essential tips: Avoid common pitfalls with crucial information, such as understanding Malaysia's digital arrival card requirements and knowing where ATMs aren't available so you can get cash beforehand. 🌟 Local gems: Top restaurants, must-do activities, and hidden treasures. 🗺️ Interactive map: An interactive map with 71 places linked, plus additional links to activities and hotels not included in the 71. As someone who has experienced it all firsthand and is heading back this summer, I’ve got you covered. 🌟 P.S. Download the Thatch app for a better viewing experience!

Last February, I went on a short trip to Kuala Lumpur to catch a concert (which got cancelled 🤡). The itenerary became more roomy as a result but that's great for a relaxing and laid-back time in this big city.
