Partying in KL

One of the greatest advantages of living in Singapore is the ability to travel on the weekend easily and cheaply around Southeast Asia. KL is one of the easiest place to reach from Singapore. Only an hour flight, flights from most major budget airlines will fly. From AirAsia, there's a flight to/from Singapore every hour for less than SGD100 roundtrip.

I met a few of my female friends from HK in KL for the weekend. I took the last flight out on Friday out. Landed past midnight but randomly matched the HK girls' flights time (how convenient). We landed and went straight out, where we hung out with Annie's KL friends... one whom pulled out a bong right in the middle of the street while we were having drunk food at 4AM. Greasy pork noodles (where 2 of the ppl couldn't eat because it's not Halal) and drunk boys on weed....
Best Laksa ever.

Best snack ever - green dough
covered with sugar and coconut.
KL is all about food. For breakfast, lunch and dinner are so great for food. The entire town revolves around it. Cheap good food: best Nesi Lemak with our local friends, Steven's Corner where all the locals know (my AD in Singapore who is from KL knew exactly what I meant when I described the place), random stalls in Chinatown, snacks just from the street. Even coffee from the food trucks are amazing. I didn't have a single bad meal in KL. I wanted to eat everything and felt my stomache was not big enough for my eyes. I think the food might actually be better than Singapore's... that's pretty aggressive statement.

Round 1.
I don't recommend going to KL as a tourist - there really isn't much to see. We went to the Batu Caves, which was nice but not super impressive. But I do recommend going with lots of friends for eating, drinking, partying, and just general fun time out from the boring routines of your lives. Even if you do the same things there as you do home, it still feels like an adventure.
