I am still missing KL all day, everyday. Not that I can’t move on or continue our life, but I do miss KL.
So, here I am, listing my fave things to do when we were in KL.
What I love the most :
1. Parks with sparks
I haven’t found any park in Jakarta that give me sparks. I could spend hours on my “so called me time” in one of those park in KL. Sitting, sip a cup of coffee, juice or ais teh tarik.
Picture perfect.
Taking my boy to park is also fun. We could walk around it and chat and play with the sun.
2. Yarnsholic heaven
All those craft store, from local craft store at sungei wang or pasar seni, to Spotlight.
Did I mention how much I love yarns? It was the first thing that I check when our cargo was arrived.
I also missed my fellow handmaker there who’s been so nice to me. Missed hang out with them
3. Supplies and supermarket
Grocery shopping is my thing beside craft. My fave grocery store is Village grocer, they have everything that I need. My fave is located at Bangsar Village, nearby our aparment and the local food banana leaves resto.
Then followed by Cold Storage, Jaya Grocer, Isetan and Sams and local market of course.
4. Bangsar
Yes. Spefically I missed Bangsar.
I missed the Nirwana Maju resto, Chawan, Mikey Pizza, plan B, snackfood shop, smalls fashion boutique, lego stores,nasi kandar, massage place and cziplee stationery store too!
Bangsar is a homey area. It’s not located in the center of KL but it’s reachable (excuse my geographic skill). If you are familiar with KLCC, Bangsar can be reached by LRT/MRT/Monorail. 5-10 minutes only from KL sentral station.
Bangsar is housing area too. If you are wondering about the ground house area in KL, Bangsar is one of it.
I always love to spend my day at Bangsar.
5. Trains
When we were living in KL, we always enjoy taking train everywhere. It’s just our thing.
Monorail, LRT, KTM komuter, all of it. Now they have a brand new MRT, unfortunate we got no chance to try it out.
Ah ya, we also like to take KLIA transit to putrajaya and hang out there. Simply because we enjoy the train ride very much.
I remember one time, my son requested to take bus to Melaka and he wants to ride KLIA transit too. We suppose to take KLIA transit to Bandar Tasik Selatan/Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (the place where we can take the bus to Melaka) but then we decided to take longer ride to KLIA 2 instead and continue the journey to Melaka from there.
It was a long trip but we are having fun. A winning indeed.
6. The Foods
I can’t believe I put this on the list. Few months when we first move to KL, I hate all the food, everything seems to “curry-ish”. But now I love it!
From Nasi Kandar (pelita), nasi lemak antarbangsa, Banana Leaf rice, kwetiau, mee mamak, canai, chicken rice, tosai, kuih2. All of it.
I am drolling just thinking about it.
Oh how I missed it.
Kwetiau at Food Republic Pavilion
Canai Teh Tarik Palace
Kale Salad
Laksa
Mee Tarik Warisan
Ais Cendol
Nirwana Maju Banana Leaves
I could write thousands more about how much I missed KL.
It will always be our second home and I secretly hoping to be able to spend some life in KL again.
Hope so. Pray for me? 😁😘
