Despite the expensive bill, the food was 'just okay'. No wow factor and I doubt if I am popping here again. It was just too average compared to the price. The only thing we loved was the soup...some seafood tom yum which was delicious...but then it came in just a few spoonfuls in a humongous plate! Other than that...the rest were not exciting :(
We loved walking outside KLCC at night and this is my 3rd or 4th posts on KLCC. With the twin towers illuminated, they are just beautiful with two huge towers with diamonds sparkling at night. Until Taipei 101 took over in 2004, it was the tallest towers in the world from 1996 to 2003. Outside, there is a huge garden for everyone to stroll around and enjoy the night breeze. I love the sight of these towers and wish to walk on that skybridge connecting both towers.
After dinner, we walked over to this place..my favourite place whenever I am here in KL. It was a good 10 minutes walk from KLCC to Traders Hotel and on their 33rd floor, you will find this...the SKYBAR. A half-open air bar which another fav hangout for many people. Dressing code is strict and do watch the steps while walking on the edge of the pool. It was interesting to note that all my colleagues lived within the 100km parameter from Kuala Lumpur, but none has been here before. It was a first for them..but I am sure wont be the last.
It's packed on weekends and reservation is required....especially if you want a good seat and view.
So, we booked early to ensure that we sat at the window to get this view. It's the best view ever of the Twin Towers. By the way, this guy is a very good friend and colleague of mine. We worked together from the day I started work and he will retire soon next year. It seems that we have worked forever and I am so thankful he has been around supporting me for the longest time ever.
Their satay was good, not the best...it used to be the best, but good is ok for us.
Here are the Twin Towers :)
Thank you everyone for the good wishes...but the flu bug just would not go away, it's lingering at home way much longer than desired.
Have a fab weekend :)
I hope you and keluarga are sehat soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, that satay! I am so hungry for good satay right now after seeing your photo! I could smell and taste it!
What a beautiful sight the towers make! Perhaps one day I'll see them in person :)
very impressive night photos, but the food, not so. Once I went to a Mandarin Hitel. The plates were jumbo, but the food were just a few slivers, one plate had 3 Japanese Toufo.
ReplyDeleteThose twin tower photos are awesome M! That pic of the soup sitting on the huge plate is funny. I know the trend has been to serve smaller portions on larger plates but that plate really is extra large! The Sky Bar looks interesting. Do people swim in the pool? I imagine people getting really drunk and diving into the pool by the end of the evening :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're still sick. Take care silly sausage and get better soon! Your trip to OZ is next month! You need to be well so you can enjoy your time over here!
Beautiful photos M Kate - I love the night shots, and yours are stunning.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend:)
Hugs
Joo
The towers are GORGEOUS-like shining jewels! The sky bar looks very ambient place to enjoy an evening... And what strange bowls for that soup--all show but now flash. ;o) Do hope you're all feeling & keeping better very soon. So glad you stopped by my place--great to see you, my friend. Happy Days ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThe soup bowl is interesting although I agree the amt. of soup is very tiny.
ReplyDeleteLove the night photo's.

ReplyDeleteAmazing place! I wish I could visit that place someday Those twintowers seems almost unreal, transparent. Have a nice weekend my friend and take care. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWow! such fantastic views from The Sky Bar. No wonder it is packed on weekends.I haven't been there yet.
ReplyDeleteHi darling. I am finally making a visit. The photos are beautiful, the towers are twinkly. Looks like you were having fun.

Sorry about the food not being the best.
Good luck to the person who is retiring that has been kind and helped you along the way.
Thinking of YOU!

Sorry to ear about your nasty flu Take care dear. Your pictures look magic and the sateh looks mouth watering.
ReplyDeleteWhat a view! too bad about the food, guess I won't be popping in for lunch. Hope the flu is gone from your home by now!
ReplyDeleteHello M.Kate.. sending you get well wishes :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat is that plate all about?? Shame about the food .
It looks fabulous all lit up , I think my husband as been there.
Take care and have a good week, get rid of the flu ♥
Hi M.Kate! I've been a lousy blogger lately:( Glad to see your latest post and that "amazing" "bowl" of soup, haha. Hope the flu bug flies away and you are all feeling better soon! (Your pics of the twin towers are beautiful, I never get tired of seeing them.)
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that yummy food always comes in limited portions?!!! Seems like the lest there is, the more you want to eat it !
ReplyDeleteGet well soon M Kate. I hope it clears up for you. We've had the flu here too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great location for a bar with a pool too how magical it would be to be there after it was closed and just swim with that view.
Sorry the food was disappointing for the price. I hate it when that happens and I think even I might've made better.
Hope you are feeling better M Kate! Your night photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI miss our Twin Towers :(
Beautiful pictures of the towers! They look like fine cut crystal!
ReplyDeleteThe view at Skybar is spectacular and the twin towers are really awesome. My get well wishes to you and wishing you Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHi M. Kate! Fabulous pictures... That Sky Bar has a much better view than my room at the Mandarin... ;))
ReplyDeleteAfter four posts (you missed ;)), Blogtrotter Two is leaving Algiers 2009... Enjoy and have a great week ahead!
PS: Also fighting the flu here... Get better!
What beautiful pictures..the lights on the two towers is just stunning.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read you were sick. Isn't it amazing how that flu gets around..with us it is usually winter..Surprising because it is cold..Probably leaving the cold to walk into a warm home..doesn't help.
You will be leaving soon..right?
Will keep checking back on your blog..What a wonderful trip you have in store for all..
Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week..sending love/blessings to you.xooxRosebud/Carolyn
I hope the flu bug has finlly left your house now? What a view, does anyone ever end up in the pool?
ReplyDelete: )
wow, how awesome!! Hope you are well and maybe close by now?? AX :0)
ReplyDeleteHow glamorous. You're a chic lady, M.Kate :)
ReplyDeleteHow amazing. One gets to see the outside of these towers in the media but how special to see what it looks like inside and more especially to see what it is like inside looking out.
ReplyDeleteSo right, the price does not always equate with the quality of food. Good when it does though.
Amazing photos MK..love the twin towers!
ReplyDeleteWishing you all a speedy recovery, rotten flu took us ages to bounce back from..not long now until your trip down under!! :) xox
Flower speaks so highly of your blog, so I decided it was about time to pay you a visit.
ReplyDeleteExtraordinarily beautiful...
I have visited Thailand and Cambodia twice (early this year was my last visit) and much of the colors are very familiar.
When I travel I have a mission to accomplish, not as a tourist, but as a helper. I will be back to visit your blog.
If you are coming to NZ, do come to Auckland and we will meet. I will take a picnic and we go to Western Springs.
ReplyDeleteIf you are planning, please allow more days in Auckland. Travel agents sell south island. People get disappointed when they can't spend mmore time in Auckland.
I don't want durian chips. I want the real thing. LOL
Thanks for that info about Penang curries on my blog! Really interesting. Glad to hear you are back from Melbourne; can't wait to see all the pictures and read about it. As for these wonderful snaps...those dancers are so beautiful and vibrant! You lead an exciting life, my friend.
