CHANGKAT BUKIT BINTANG

Amongst the bevy of watering holes, there are a few establishments that stand out.

SHOPPING
Malaysians take retail therapy very seriously: so much so that maps, which list out the city’s invasion of shopping malls, are out-of-date almost before the ink runs dry. Truthfully it is the country’s hot and humid weather that draws crowds into these air-conditioned centres; within the Bukit Bintang area itself there are more than eight malls, ranging from the posh Starhill Gallery and trendy Fahrenheit 88 to Sungei Wang Plaza and the gadget haven Low Yat Plaza.

PAVILLION
Keeping the city’s fashionistas looking polished, this KL staple is the perfect example of how extravagant some malls can be. It features almost the same staggering square footage as Mid Valley Megamall and 1 Utama and the 1.37 million-sqft white marble complex is a combination of indoor and outdoor shopping venues.

SURIA KLCC
Likened to Manhattan’s Barney’s and Saks Fifth Avenue, the mall is popular not only for its right-on-the-money location and upscale stores, but also because it has tourist attractions such as Aquaria KLCC and Petrosains, an oceanarium and science discovery centre respectively, targeted at kids. Besides that, the mall is home to the Dewan Filharmonik Orkestra (Malaysia’s first concert hall) and the Petronas Art Gallery.

MID VALLEY MEGA MALL
Giving the shiny 1Utama complex a run for its money, the colossal Mid Valley Megamall is indeed a mega complex, known to locals as the best shopping centre halfway between the city centre and the Klang Valley.
