A Slow, Easy Public Holiday
We enjoyed a quiet three day weekend at home, and today — Monday — was the Birthday of His Majesty The Yang di Pertuan Agong, Malaysia’s King. We woke up fashionably late and left home late in the morning, heading to the Medan Tuanku Monorail Station. We had several errands to run around Bukit Bintang, and the monorail was the easiest way to get right into the heart of it.
Errands in Bukit Bintang
Five minutes later, we arrived at the Bukit Bintang Monorail Station. The fare was RM3.10 each (≈ USD/EUR0.70).
Our first stop was Eye Smart Vision on the first floor of Sungei Wang Plaza. My spectacles had snapped, and Jimmy replaced the frames for only RM40 (≈ USD9/EUR8).
Next, we headed down to the Maybank ATM to replenish the “Federal Reserves.” After that, we went to the lower ground floor to look for pain relief patches — no luck. We continued into Giant Supermarket, walked through the carpark, and exited the building.
More Errands at Low Yat
We crossed Jalan Bulan 1 and entered Plaza Low Yat, taking several escalators up to Level 2. At Sri Computers, we bought a 12V 2A adapter for RM25 (≈ USD6/EUR5) to power a string of LED lights I had recently purchased.
One floor down, we searched for screen protectors. The first shop quoted RM50, which was too steep. The second shop offered RM25 (≈ USD6/EUR5), and we happily agreed.
A Delicious Vietnamese Lunch
We took the elevator down to the ground floor, walked back into Sungei Wang Plaza, and rode another elevator up to the third floor for lunch at Vinh City. Cat had her usual Beef Noodle Soup, while I ordered Beef Fried Rice, along with Green Tea and a cup of excellent Vietnamese coffee.
Our delightful Vietnamese meal cost RM41.50 (≈ USD10/EUR9).
Heading Home
After lunch, we returned to the Bukit Bintang Monorail Station and rode two stops to Bukit Nanas. The fare was RM2.70 each (≈ USD/EUR0.60). From there, we walked past Terowong Bukit Nanas to the bus stand opposite the Dang Wangi LRT Station.
We eventually caught the GoKL Blue Line Free Bus, which dropped us almost at the doorstep of Plaza City One, and from there we walked home safely.
A Small Reminder
While masks are now optional outdoors, they are still mandatory indoors. Stay safe and considerate.
