Kuala Lumpur will certainly surprise you; from cooking classes at the edge of rainforest to riding the world's fastest mono cable car in the Genting Highlands the choices are varied and exceptional.
The Indian curry houses of KL will definitely be one of your favourite's joints for wholly satisfying and delicious meals. Remember healthy options are thrown out the window as you tuck into a marvellously fragrant and oily pot of biriyani. The best would be the Hyderabad Dum Biriyani as the dish is made the traditional way. Rice is first cooked in spice and later steamed together with the meat. The dum method is when the rice is wrapped in pastry dough before being steamed or baked. The best would be the mutton biriyani while options of chicken to are available. A rather welcoming factor about frequenting the curry houses of KL is that you are not required to dress up for the occasion; simply walk in as you are in shorts and flip flops. Order a chilled glass of mango lassie or ice Milo and relax until that aromatic pot of rice is placed in front of you.
This iconic attraction in Malaysia is a must visit for all visitors. The Petronas Towers built by an Argentinean architect is one of the world's marvels.

It is not just the towers you will be exploring, the place has many allures such as the Suria KLCC Shopping Mall; there you are treated to an endless supply of designer boutiques, a huge food court, a chic gallery to browse and if travelling with the family the option to catch a flick at the cinema or show at the concert hall. Kids will love the huge Aquaria KLCC while the park is verdant heaven. When choosing hotels in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia it is wise to consider one that is well located close to public transport options and attractions within the city.

The place is nicknamed the 'Resort Town of Malaysia' and is home to what is considered the only casino in the country. Enjoy the salubrious climes of this historic resort complete with fabulous shopping malls and golf courses.
