It’s Our 100th Vlog on YouTube! 🎉
This one felt special.
To celebrate both our 100th vlog and the first anniversary of our channel, we wanted to do something different—something that showed a side of Kuala Lumpur that many might not know existed.
Most of our past walkabouts had taken place in malls and city streets—what we liked to call our urban jungle. But today, we were heading somewhere greener.
A Different Side of KL
We began our walk as we often did, along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (TAR), heading south before turning into a small alley toward Lorong Gombak, then continuing along Jalan Palestin.
From there, we reached Jalan Raja Laut, heading south and crossing Jalan Parlimen before arriving at Jalan Raja.
This stretch was filled with some of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic landmarks:
- Dataran Merdeka
- Sultan Abdul Samad Building
- The Zero Mile Marker
- The Tallest Flagpole in Malaysia
- Kuala Lumpur City Gallery
It was a reminder of how much history sat right in the heart of the city.
Into the Green Lung
We continued along Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, then turned onto Jalan Cenderasari.
And just like that, we entered Kuala Lumpur’s green lung.
The change was immediate. The noise faded, replaced by trees, open space, and cool shade.
We walked past:
- Tanglin Health Clinic
- Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park
Before arriving at Taman Etnobotani.
Lake Gardens
Crossing over to Jalan Tembusu, we soon reached the entrance to Lake Gardens, also known as the Perdana Botanical Garden.
Here, the city felt far away.
We followed tree lined paths, circled the lake, and crossed bridges leading to:
- The Bamboo Playhouse
- Quiet garden corners
- The Oasis Garden Waterfall
The area was vast, peaceful, and incredibly refreshing.
The Final Stretch
We continued along Jalan Kebun Bunga, eventually passing:
- Fantasy Planet & Dinosaur Park
- The Royal Lake Club
From there, we made our way toward Jalan Parlimen, walked past Padang Merbok, and crossed through the underpass near Bulatan Dato Onn.
Soon enough, we were back in familiar territory along Jalan Raja Laut.
One Last Stop
No walkabout of ours ever ended without food.
We stopped by our favourite mamak spot, Sithique Nasi Kandar Pulau Pinang, along Jalan TAR to grab some Roti Canai with Mutton Curry to take home.
Just as we wrapped up, the rain came pouring down.
Camera safely tucked away, we ran all the way home.
A Walk Worth Remembering
- Total distance: 7.31 kilometres
- Total feeling: worth it
We were completely exhausted—but in the best way possible.
Looking Back
This walk reminded us why we started.
Not just to film malls or meals—but to explore, experience, and share the places we loved, especially those hidden in plain sight.
Kuala Lumpur wasn’t just a city of buildings—it had spaces to breathe, to slow down, and to reconnect.
And for our 100th vlog, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to show it.
Here’s to More
A hundred videos down.
Many more to come.
Thank you for being part of this journey. 🌿✨
