Our Experiences:  The city of Kuala Lumpur is well spread over a huge area and despite many skycrappers it keeps an attractive and greenish nature within it. The twin Petronas Towers are one of the world´s best designed skyscrapers. The food is excellent. Not only the Malay food but also the other neighbouring countries cuisine fusion found in many restaurants.  In our Hotel (Le Méridien) there were world food stations preparing on demand dishes…. for the breakfast! We always took over one hour to finish tasting everything. Delicious!  The city of Malacca, south of Kuala Lumpur has an interesting Portuguese colonization and trading history, including a maritime museum. Nice place!
