Central Market, Pasar Seni in Kuala Lumpur.

Central Market is the closest thing in Kuala Lumpur to Chakutchat Market in Bangkok though you cannot compare the two really! Chakutchat is huge and full of bargains galore. Central Market is smaller and more pricey in comparison but it is the best alternative in KL to the mega malls with only branded, designer goods.
If you are looking for some Batik to take home have a look in Central Market and at the Batik Store at Bukit Nanas.
See link below for details.

Interesting choice of Bar name in Kuala Lumpur!

Well protected species in Kuantan: The Communal Television!

Dust accumulated on these light bulbs gives this shop a particular "inter-galactic" ambience!

National Science Centre, Pusat Sains Negara in Kuala Lumpur

A great outing for kids and adults alike is the National Science Centre in Bukit Kiara.
A magnificent glass domed building, with dinosaur shaped plants outside, a swimming pool area and lots of fun scientific tangibles inside. Not known to many but there is also a mini aquarium. Admission price for adults is 6rm as of April 2012. More information can be found here:

Thean Hou Chinese Temple, Kuala Lumpur

As part of the cultural experience of Malaysia it is a good idea to visit one of the many Chinese Temples.
Thean Hou Temple is in a beautiful and leafy part of Kuala Lumpur with views of Bangsar, Kl Tower and Petronas Towers. Address: Persiaran Endah.

Book Stores in Kuala Lumpur.

Apart from Borders, MPH and Times book stores I have found another one hidden away near China Town.
It is called Popular and is on Jalan Hang Lekir, between Central Market and China Town/Petaling Street.
Different selection of books so check it out!
