Mao mao,
No way man..kekek.. i am on the main deck which only has 6 seaters & from the look of my pixs,u can already tell that is is very squeezy... so can u imagine those who sit on top? whahaha...

Starhill & KLCC quite near lor... BB Plaza things are more cheap also.. something like our Lucky Plaza or Hereen compared..

Transtar do not stop at Yong Peng, Konsortium does stop at Yong Peng & Yong Peng had already renovated till quite nice too...

However, we drove from KL to there. I do know there's flight there, Berjaya Airline (domestic airline).
hmm..haven't heard of hotel maya..
Mandarin Oriental (MO) hotel is those 5 or 6 stars hotel..the standard should be very good (of coz price is quite exp ). I haven't stayed there but did eat at their restaurants there..really good food...yum yum.. MO hotel is just next to KLCC, 1 or 2mins walking distance.

Hi skylar and suishi,
I am back =).

Skylar,
true lor, they only stopover for us to go washroom lor...

Suishi,
The 1st class coach is spacious lor...massage chair with individual tv, remote control for games etc...We were served with lunch and also tea and a pice of cake or biscuits.. not too bad...Hb and I and my inlaws felt that its worth the $$ to pay for something like this... Cos its abt 5hrs ride to KL, its not bery tiring when we reach KL cos we can do some massage anytime we want...Just press the button..keke...

But hor, try not to select those seats at the last row cos will feel dizzy and the aircon will blow directly on your head, bery uncomfortable leh...We were in seats 7 & 8 when we go KL...But coming bk was at the last 2 seats...controller was spoilt, cannot play games, aircon blow directly lor...seats slightly small at the last 2 seats...so guess its better to take the seats in the center...

Overall, we rate Transtar as good lor...Oh almost forgot, when we check in for the coach, we were led to a waiting louge at Golden Mile with aircon and drinks lor....so nice...heehee...

I was telling my hb that 1st time take the 1st class coach like mountain turtle like that...keke...

As for my hotel, Royale Bintang, it was GOOD =). Room was not as small as we thought, service was good...Location thumbs up lor...Bery near to times square, Lot 10 etc... There are some eatries opp the hotel, we tried the bak ku teh, nice nice....

As far as i know, Transtar First Class Coach doesn't stop for meals so probably they don't stop over at Yong Peng. But for Transtar Premium/SuperVIP they still do stop at Yong Peng.

skylar: Surprised that Transtar Premium served food and skipped Yong Peng... I thought only First Class Coach served food...

Hi mao mao, can i check with you, does the pasarakyat bus terminal looks unsafe to you? I am planning to take coach to KL from sg, the website says alight at this terminal. But someone told me this terminal is actually puduraya bus terminal which my parents are not very convinced as I will be going alone and the puduraya station is known to be very unsafe.

Hi kite, try Concorde Hotel. It's within walking distance to KLCC and the pubs area. And there's a great massage joint called Montien in the hotel. 5 mins away is HRC and the rail station.

Hi Kite,

Shopping in KL, if it's shopping center, its about the same as that in sg shopping centers, some are slightly cheaper.

Food, in general, i do find them cheaper. except for this fantastic big prawn noodle that cost me 70 ringgit. my fav dessert stall is there, nice, called 'maad toh lau' (i dunnoe how to speak cantonese)

Travel by air, cost about 400 bucks with taxes (return) , time take 45 mins for the flight. BUT flight doesn't make sense cos:

Check in - 2 hours in advance
Flight time - 45 Mins
Arrival, time for clearance - say 15 mins
Travel from KLIA to city - by car 1 hour, by train about 30 - 45 min

Total time taken - about 4 hours

Bus, costs about 70 sgd return, takes about 5 hours per trip (from sg to the city center)

Hotel, Concorde is good and cheap, near to the clubbing area too! hee

but i love marriott there, cos its situated on the shopping street, bukit bintang and its near to my fav dessert stall and the 70 ringgit prawn noodle that serves only ONE piece of prawn

Hi kite, I'm not sure what special needs a baby would command cos' I have none myself. Sorry, not much help here. We were very comfortable in Concorde then, the massages and the fact that it's very accessible to many places. How much to bring? I'm not sure cos' I usually pay for most stuff by credit. Surprisingly, skincare stuff is cheaper in Msia. Take Shu Uemura, it's cheaper by a good SGD10 to 15 for some items. Also sometimes there are sales. Bought several items from Mambo at KLCC then at average SGD20 apiece! Not old stuff but picks of season.

behind marriot, there will be another street (i think its called jln tun razak) walk along the this street, you will find a dessert shop called 'maad toh lou'

You can try out this dessert shop.

Located directly behind this dessrt shop, there's this old old coffee shop which sells big prawn noodle. one plate of big prawn noodle with ONE big prawn cost about i think 70 ringgit, serves about 2 to 3 pax....yummy...

The small shops around the big prawn noodle area are nice. Look out for beef noodle and bak kut teh. (can't remember which shop exactly)

hi all!
i'm intending to travel to KL between 4 May (aft work) and 6 May to visit my bf who's seconded there..

besides coach, anyone knows which airline i can go to book airtickets?

so far fr Zuji, cheapest is by JAL ($244) but e plane leaves at 7.50 and i end work at 6.15..

any advise? thanks!

Cho, there are flights on SIA and MAS and Emirates from 8pm onwards - you may try those. But the prices are premium for travelling out on Friday. FYI.

Personally, I find that travelling by plane to KL is pretty much an expensive affair. You have to take the "shuttle" plane service. Then you need to spend about RM50 at least to get into town. The whole SIN-KUL journey will take about 3-4 hours, give and take.

I go KL at least once a month. I usually take the coach to get there in 4 hours. I get off work at 6pm and still manages to get on the 6.30 First Class VIP bus that stops at Pasar Rakyat.

Hi Cho,

JAL is indeed cheaper, think they are currently having some promotion. For one way to KL, I just book for my client at abt $173 including taxes.

You may want to check Sri Lanka, shld be cheaper than JAL but not sure abt timming from Sg or if they fly from sg to KL but my client just took that from KL to Sg for abt S$130++ with taxes. Much cheaper than MAS and SIA. Feedback from client is quite postive.

If you do not have a lot of bags, taking the coach is a gd idea. it takes more or less abt the same time as plane, cos like Idyll said, u need to reach the airport say abt 45mins b4 flight, if u taking the shutter, u still need to go earlier to buy tics, sometimes u may even have to wait (unless u buy confirmed tics), boarding time, flying time, from KLIA to city abt 45mins to an hr+ depending on traffic. Try Transtar VIP coach, very comfy n not too ex at abt $60/pax. BUT......if you are bringing a big lugguage, do not take the coach, very likly to run into problems at the custom..if u noe what i mean. unless u are very willing to give coffee $

we stayed at Berjaya times sq. Room was big than i imagined. its has a living area, mini kitchen. it's bathroom n toilet r separated. we stayed on the high flr lvl 38, view was gd. Staffs were smiley n friendly too.

To me,Berjaya times sq is convenient to shopping malls like Lot 10, Sungei wang, pavilion via walking distance. If its rains, below the hotel is a shopping mall,won't be a wasted day stuck inside yr hotl room.
