Ode to KL's Public Transport │ Xmas Decs • 7 Mall Hop!

Happy Winter Solstice

It was a Saturday, and with Christmas right around the corner, we left our condo at 9:30am bound for Capital Café along Jalan TAR. Unfortunately, it was closed, so we crossed the road and eventually found ourselves at the lower ground floor of Sogo KL, where we had breakfast at Bungkus Kaw Kaw.

After eating, we headed up a floor to the main foyer of Sogo KL — the first of seven malls we hoped to visit today. Our mission: capture the Christmas themed decorations at each mall.

Mall 1: Sogo KL

We took a few shots, then exited via the crosswalk connected to Bandaraya LRT Station. For RM1.10 (≈ USD/EUR0.20), we rode the LRT to PWTC.

Mall 2: Sunway Putra Mall

We walked in and captured their Christmas decorations before returning to PWTC LRT.

For RM1.70 (≈ USD/EUR0.40), we rode to Hang Tuah.

Mall 3: LaLaport BBCC

We walked over and filmed the decorations here, though they left us underwhelmed.

We exited LaLaport and crossed the footbridge toward Jalan Imbi.

Mall 4: Sungai Wang Plaza

We entered the mall and found Chinese New Year decorations instead — also underwhelming — but it didn’t matter since we planned to have lunch here anyway. (Stay tuned for our Vinh City Vietnamese Cuisine video.)

After lunch, we rode an elevator down, crossed Jalan Bulan 1, and made our way across another footbridge.

Mall 5: Berjaya Times Square

This time, we entered the other wing, and were not disappointed — the Christmas decorations here were clearly done with effort. We also stopped by LC Waikiki to get matching Christmas T shirts for our Penang trip.

We exited and crossed another footbridge onto Jalan Bulan 1.

Mall 6: Sungei Wang Plaza (Again)

We walked in, but the decorations here were underwhelming too. We exited via a footbridge onto Jalan Sultan Ismail, then ducked into the MRT underpass to cross Jalan Bukit Bintang.

We pushed through the usual weekend crowd near Fahrenheit88 and Starhill.

Mall 7: Pavilion KL

We finally reached Pavilion KL, where we captured their immaculate Christmas decorations — both at the Crystal Fountain outside and the main foyer inside. Pavilion never disappoints.

We then entered the Bukit Bintang MRT and rode to Tun Razak Exchange for RM1.20 (≈ USD/EUR0.30).

Mall 8: The Exchange TRX

Our seventh and final mall of the day. The Christmas decorations here were exquisite and absolutely worth the effort. With our feet aching, we returned to the MRT and rode to Muzium Negara for RM1.80 (≈ USD/EUR0.40).

Nu Sentral & Lunch

We navigated a maze of escalators and arrived at Nu Sentral, where we wandered around before settling on Tea Garden NU Sentral for lunch. We ordered:

• Cat’s Hor Fun Soup
• My Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken
• Calamansi Juice with Sour Plum
• Ribena Lemon Soda

Our meal came to RM76.00 (≈ USD17/EUR16).

After lunch, we walked into Nitori to look for a replacement for my tattered office chair — and found the exact same model. We placed an order for delivery after New Year’s.

Heading Home

We made our way to the KL Sentral Monorail and rode to Medan Tuanku for RM3.40 (≈ USD0.80/EUR0.70), then walked the short distance back home.

What’s Next

In our next video, we’ll be catching the Aeroline bus to Penang — stay tuned!
