KLCC Walkabout │ Megan Avenue 2 • Suria KLCC • Simfoni Lake • KLCC Park

It’s the Weekend!

Our weekend started with a short walk south along Jalan Munshi Abdullah to the bus stop in front of Jakel Mall. We had one thing on our minds—a warm bowl of borsch soup—and we knew exactly where to find it.

A Bus Ride Across Kuala Lumpur

Just as we reached the bus stop, a RapidKL bus #300 appeared out of nowhere. There was no time to set up the camera—we quickly hopped on.

Since it was a double decker bus, we went straight to the upper deck and grabbed the front seats. From there, we enjoyed the ride as the bus moved through:

  • Jalan Munshi Abdullah
  • Jalan Dang Wangi
  • Jalan Ampang

Lunch at Central Asia Restaurant

We got off near Hotel Maya and walked along Jalan Ampang before turning onto Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. Our destination was Central Asia Restaurant at Megan Avenue 2.

Here, we finally had our long awaited Caucasus inspired Uzbek lunch, complete with the borsch we had been craving.

An hour later, satisfied and happy, we stepped back out into the city.

A Walk Around KLCC

From there, we walked toward Suria KLCC and out onto the esplanade. We spent some time around:

  • The Symphony Lake
  • KLCC Park

However, the heat was intense, and several walkways were closed off. That made it harder to explore fully, so we decided to cut our walk short.

We made a mental note to return another day when the weather—and access—was better.

Buses, Breaks and City Wandering

We walked back to Jalan Ampang and waited for the free GoKL Green Line bus to Bukit Bintang. After a short ride, we got off near Wisma Cosway, across from Pavilion.

From there, we switched to the GoKL Blue Line, which brought us back toward Jalan Munshi Abdullah, stopping near Capsquare.

Simple Rewards

Before heading home, we made a couple of small stops:

  • Tealive at Semua House for refreshing drinks
  • City One Plaza to pick up a couple of shawarmas for dinner

Nothing fancy, just simple comforts to end the day.

Heading Home

With that, we made our way back to our condo. It had been a relaxed walkabout—nothing rushed, nothing complicated.

A Small Reminder

As always, just a gentle reminder:

Masks may now be optional outdoors, but they are still required indoors.

Until Next Time

That wrapped up our weekend outing.

We were already looking ahead to the next one—so stay tuned!

We do what we can to support local businesses, and it's always good to know that everyone here observes all related SOPs, it helps make us feel safer and reassured.
