  • Favorite Thing: My introduction may not suit your taste because I'm a local Lumpurian but I try to help you with what I think is good for travel in Kuala Lumpur. If you ask me, my favourite thing is people watching. What I do most was to wander around and snap photos on peoples. People watching is my favourite. Sometimes I like to snap back street photos as well, I also snap less attention objects and scenes. Taking photos on peoples is not easy job as most peoples will turn their head away or if you snap at wrong peoples.

    General Tips: Chinatown
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to enter the Petaling street through this red and green gateway. This is the crowdest bustling area in Kuala Lumpur and also an international village full of tourists worldwide.

    I don't want to tell so much about Chinatown as most other websites already done it much better than mine. What I want to do here is to upload as many photos as possible for you to have an idea how is Chinatown look-alike.

    General Tips: Chinatown
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: As this is a general tip, I want to show you what is the general food you can expect when you are in Kuala Lumpur. We are rice eater, this is a plate of rice mixed with curry and fried fish, an Indian styled of eating. Chinese cooking definitely are abundant in the area of Chinatown, so let's eat. Malay foods can be found too, they are at the small alley beside the Nando Chickens.

    The way we eat is completely different because we already trained to use spoon and fork for many years. Our fork is for left hand to support when our right hand needed it. Fork can be used to pick up dishes as well. Our right hand is the actual hand to eat with spoon to scoop up the rice and other dishes. Spoon is used when we want to drink soup. We don't have knife when we eat, only when we go to Western foods restaurant.

    Eating with fingers is very common in Lumpur. Fingers eating only when you eat Indian and Malay foods in rice and dishes. If you are eating noodles soup, please don't use fingers.

    General Tips: Chinatown
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kuala Lumpur - The flea market in Chinatown
  • The flea market in Chinatown
  • by l_joo
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: This tip is for tourists to see so that they have a rough idea what is the dress code in the city of Kuala Lumpur. Most tourists like to have these dress up as our tropical sunlight is too strong in all 365 days. We don't have winter, no autumn and no spring. This kind of climate is called tropical climate which is very hot, except rainy days.

    General Tips: The Muddy Confluence
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kuala Lumpur - The Muddy Confluence
  • The Muddy Confluence
  • by l_joo
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: This is the the Muddy Confluence always mentioned in the history of Kuala Lumpur. It is actually a point of juncture between two well known Lumpurese rivers, Gombak and Kelang rivers. Built on the juncture is our beautiful Masjid Jamek Mosque which is the oldest back in year 1909.

    This location is where those 87 miners began their first ever excavation of tin during the old days. To look at this Muddy Confluence, visitors should use a liitle imaginations to visualize a scene where 87 miners busy at work 150 years ago, in a place where mud, water, sweat, trees, boats, shanties etc all at once whereas what you see today is only concrete walls and drain. A must.

    General Tips: Lumpurese, Lumpurian or KLites
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Recently I posted a discussion in the Kuala Lumpur forum regarding Peoples of Kuala Lumpur

    This discussion is to talk about what name shall we use when we want to write about the people of Muddy Estuary. Shall we use the word Lumpurese, Lumpurian or KLites. Other suggestions include Mud Peoples, Estuarian, etc. What do you think? Please take a look at the forum if you have any good suggestion.

    General Tips: Lumpurese Eating

  • Kuala Lumpur - Lumpurese Eating
  • Lumpurese Eating
  • by l_joo
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: Eating at the roadside is part of the Muddy Estuarine's culture. This way of eating began long time ago and still prosper. This eating culture is without doubt belong to General Tip as it is so common in this city. The way of these eating is to look for big shady trees at small alleys behind big modern buildings. Customers only have to sit down and show them ONE in gesture to the stall owner you like. Foods will be ready for you in minutes, very tasty for sure. You should try it.

    General Tips: Street vendors
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Street vendors are belong to General Tip because we have so many in the city centre and also out of city centres. They sell anything from street to street. The one in the photo is selling perfumes, branded perfumes. I'm not sure whether this is legal or not legal, but as long as the street is there, Street vendors are there. A true general tip.
