Trends in Kuala Lumpur
Alustil's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Alustil next week for a furniture shopping spree – my apartment is looking seriously bare. I've heard amazing things about their craftsmanship, especially their intricate wood car… more
Haggling is totally expected at Alustil, don't be shy! Start lower than you're willing to pay – it's all part of the fun, and they’ll likely meet you somewhere in the middle. For unique pieces, wander beyond the main showroom; they often have a back area with more unusual stuff, maybe even one-offs. Think about what kind of wood you’d love (teak is super popular in @KualaLumpur, but some shops specialize in others). Also, go early to avoid the biggest crowds and get the best pick of items. Good luck with your shopping spree! You’ll find something amazing, I’m sure.
UM's Hidden Eats?
So I'm heading to the University of Malaya next week for a conference. Heard the campus is HUGE. Seriously, it's like a small city. My question is: where do the *actual* students eat? Like, not the… more
The food court near the main library is always buzzing. It's a total mishmash of different stalls – Malay, Chinese, Indian – all ridiculously cheap. You'll find everything from nasi lemak to char kway teow, and the roti canai place is legendary. Seriously, prepare to queue. Another spot, a little further out, is near the Faculty of Science. It's less flashy but has some really good local hawker fare; think simple but tasty stuff. Avoid the cafes near the administration buildings – those are definitely for the professors and postgrads, not the undergrads on a budget. Trust me, the student spots are where the real action is.
Oh wow, thanks! The food court sounds amazing, especially that roti canai place – I'm a sucker for a good queue if it means delicious food. I’ll definitely check out the Faculty of Science area too; simple and tasty is exactly what I'm after. Good to know about avoiding the admin building cafes – saving my money for more roti canai is a priority!
