Kuala Lumpur - With a different view

Always believed being a localite than a tourist will help to discover new places or more likely to  fall in love with a place much quicker.

With the same note , this trip to Kuala Lumpur we enjoyed the local food , majority of our commutes was in public transport and lived in a cozy condominium rather than a hotel.

Wonderful view from the condominium which we stayed for two days in Bukit Bintang locality.Closest to city center yet out of the main traffic

Was thrilled to experience the KLIA Express train, which is a direct train from Airport to City within 30 mins, where taxi will take easily 1 hour. There are also LRT & MRT train stations which will help to navigate between various locations with ease.

We found this far more comfortable than hiring a taxi , as there is no fixed fare.

Night life is vibrant in Kuala Lumpur. Walkable from the place is “Changkat Street” famous for pubs , restaurant and perfect for a night life.

If you really enjoy Jazz on a late evening , do ensure to check out a place called “No Black Tie”. Do make reservations to avoid disappointments during weekends.

Genting is under construction until 2016 and currently taking a huge makeover with Fox Studios, so better avoid any plans. However this did not stop us from visiting, and the weather never disappointed us.

Photo was taken around 12:00 PM and not at 6:00 AM during the cable car journey towards Genting. Covered with mist

Lone cable car in sight, even though there are more than 20 ahead us

Its almost time for dinner. Marinis is one of the restaurant at 57th floor offering Italian cuisine and situated next to twin tower and perfect for special occasion dinner. This is the maximum up close and personal view one can get of the Twin Tower.

As always love to hear your feedback.

Bollywood Veggies - A Green Dot

Was in a search for a short day trip and simultaneously looking out for location which is out of ordinary. That's when i came across “Bollywood Veggies”. Set in the midst of lush green farms and no skyscrapers to be seen in the vicinity. Yes its in Singapore.

“Bollywood Veggies” located near Sungei Buloh Wetland is a restaurant surrounded with various in-house grown fruits , veggies along with a pond, butterfly park and abundance of place to relax.

.

Takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to reach the place, suggestion is to ramble around a bit and then walk few meters to find the place rather than just alighting in front of the restaurant by taxi or by any other mode of transport.

For us the best part was to walk in drizzling rain to reach the place :)

Surely worth a weekend and not to miss if you are looking something different to do in Singapore other than shopping or mall hopping.

Don’t let the name mislead you, for food options you will find both veg and non-veg. Few interesting and different healthy choices available.

If you have already been here or after visiting , don't forget to share your view and experience as comments. Do add if you have witnessed anything new :)
