♫Hard Rock Cafe KL at 12.00

midnight

♫♫ Doesn't matter if you're not a drinker but the Hard Rock Cafe in Kuala Lumpur is one place you should drop by if you're a massive fan of good old HRC food.

From what I've heard and experienced, it's a HRC unique from it's other chain outlets. Place opens at 10am right till 3am. And be prepared for a queue on weekend nights.

Best time to visit would be Friday & Saturday after dinner. Drinks are priced from US$3 onwards. Occasionally there will be live music performances there as well. Bikers and wanna-be bikers hang out here as well displaying thier mean machines just outside at the allocated bike park.♫

Former National Mosque at night

Ok, it's like this: If you're into Mosques, then you would want to go see our former national mosque in the city. But this time it's all renovated and lighted up. So a night visit would be lovely just like it is in the picture.

If I were to discribe the history on it, It'll be at least 3478 words. I'm pretty sure most of you know what a mosque is used for but if you so desire for more info on this one here, please drop me an email and I'll send you the info.

Located next to the old Railway Station and Railway Administration building, this is a short walk from the Chinatown area.

Times Square roller coaster

When visiting the all new Berjaya TIMES SQUARE shopping mall, do not forget, I repeat...Do not forget to visit the theme park. It has the biggest roller coaster in Malaysia right in the theme park. Eats the Genting and Sunway for breakfast.

The park is super~massive and adults pay RM20.00/ Kids RM10.00 for the park entrance.

The roller coaster looks pretty frightening if you have not sat in one before, and it loops and twirls for 800meters long. Which is also the 'Longest Indoor Roller Coaster in the World'. They have some other 'Thrill Rides' in there as well.

Bring a doggy bag if unsure...

Kuala Lumpur Menara Telecommunications Tower

KL Tower from afar

The Menara Kuala Lumpur or KL Tower as it's commonly known stands at a towering 421meters and is currently the 4th tallest towers in the world.

Situated atop the Bukit Nanas Hill in the city, it was completed in May 1996 and was officially launched by our former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahatir.

This tower is divided into 5 basic sections:

1. Foundation Base
2. Touristic Base
3. Tower Shaft
4. Tower Head
5. Antenna Mast

The architectural design of this tower was intricately produced based on the Islam tradition called 'Muqarnas' from Iran. Muqarnas was constructed in the arrangement of glasses on the domes of the lobby entrance to illustrate the 7 layers of the sky with sun rays shining from the middle. The design also represents the human journey for perfection in life.

For a picturesque sight of the Kuala Lumpur city, head up this tower with no regrets. Also you will find a revolving restaurant, an observation deck, souvinier shops and an infomation booth to serve you.

Price applies to get up to the tower.
