Upmarket Shopping Centre
My wife and I visited this shopping mall a few times during our recent holiday in Kuala Lumpur. We stayed at Berjaya Times Square Hotel for 9 nights. That Hotel is within a short walking distance from here. This is one of the largest shopping malls in the city and has a variety of luxury shops selling designer labels. It also has a Parkson Grand department store and a large food court in the basement. We bought a few things during our visits.

One Day in Kuala Lumpur from Cruise Port in Port Klang
Traveling with a Family of 4 with college kids Had one day in Kuala Lumpur during a cruise which ported in Port Klang. Note: There is basically nothing at the Port Klang Cruise Terminal so you need to book an excursion of some sort to see anything. The cruise ship offers several tour options including a shuttle to and from downtown (Bukit Bintang). Decided to explore Kuala Lumpur on our own since its much cheaper for a family of four to take our own taxi. There is a set price from taxi's to the the Pavillion Shopping Center in Bukit Bintang. Kuala Lumpur is an approximately one hour drive from Port Klang Cruise Terminal by taxi without traffic. Make sure you get a taxi in plenty of time to get back to the ship. You can take a train from Klang, however you would still need to get a taxi from the cruise terminal to Klang which is about 10 minutes away. Bukit Bintang is known for Jalan Bukit Bintang, a busy thoroughfare with upscale shopping malls and luxe fashion boutiques. Al fresco bars and live music clubs line Changkat Bukit Bintang street. The main shopping malls include: Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Fahrenheit88, Lot 10 and Sungei Wang Plaza. Each are clean modern multi level high end shopping malls with food courts. If shopping is your thing, this is the place. Lot 10s' food court specializes in all the famous food stalls providing inexpensive local foods from across Malaysia, from the state of Penang to Ipoh in a clean comfortable setting with air conditioning. I particularly like the asian village design of the food court. Pavilion Kuala Lumpurs' food court specializes in a wide variety of food from all over the world in a clean comfortable setting with air conditioning. In particular, Madam’s Kwan Nasi Lamak is recommended as the best nasi lemak by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia. This is really big deal, as the fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk is considered the national dish of the country. Nearby Jalan Alor Food Street is a lively strip known for sidewalk hawker stalls serving local Chinese and Malaysian fare. During the day, there is not much activity but when the sun goes down, the street will be hustling and bustling with activity. Note: The Bukit Bintang Metro Station is conveniently located by the shopping malls which provides a quick, easy and inexpensive way to other attractions in Kuala Lumpur such as the Batu Caves, Petronas Twin Towers, KLCC Park, Chinatown, Central Market Kuala Lumpur, etc. The Metro of Kuala Lumpur also accepts Apple Pay and all you have to do is tap your iPhone at the entrance and exit gates.
