While you are on a tour of the main city or are out
shopping, pisang goring (fried banana) is a great snack
to give you an energy boost. The banana is coated in a
crispy and sweet batter then fried. The banana remains soft
and caramelised from the inside while crunchy from the
outside. It usually costs around MYR 1.5 per piece.
Fresh coconuts are sold almost at every corner in KL
which could be a good alternative to water for a change.
Other local street eats to enjoy while you are out and
about are sesame balls, different kinds of soups and Ramly
burgers.
Kuala Lumpur has some of the most beautiful places of
worship. Masjid Jamek, one of the oldest mosques in KL, is
located at a junction of two rivers. The mughal and Moorish
architecture makes it a sight to behold. I would recommend
visiting during a time where you see it in daylight and after
dark as well because the lights make it look magical.
Guandi, a beautiful red temple devoted to the Taoist god
of war Guan Yin. The architecture is a blend of European
rococo and oriental styles. Moreover, the historical Thean
Hou temple, a 6-tiered temple dedicated to the heavenly
queen Thean Hou, has a number of attractions within itself.
KLCC Park, a hidden wonderland overlooking the
Petronas, is a clean and relaxing public park to cool off from
the hustle and bustle. With lakes, musical dancing fountains
and greenery around, this is a great place to take those
Instagram photos.
