Kuala Lumpur is a modern industrial city caught up in 20th century technology, buildings, and media. Clutched in a triangle of three cultures: Malay, Indian, and Chinese, the city exudes the blending of these cultures in the new versus the old.
From the amazing Batu Caves with monkeys watching the Hindu traditions, to the hawker stalls on Jl Pedling with mouth watering Chinese and Malay delicacies, and the eclectic markets of Chinatown, evidence of the mixing cultures is everywhere.

Beautiful photos but have to correct – that's rambutan in the pic, not lychee – they actually taste a tiny bit different (I love rambutan and hate lychee!)
:-)
Thanks Shannon :)
That is not a statue of Golden Buddha at Batu Caves. It's is a statue of the Hindu God, Lord Murugan. Please do your research before posting.
Thanks Aru, I'm making the correction to the photo caption now.
Stunning photos. I like the ones of the clams and the snails. Hoping to get to KL on my way to Thailand when I leave NZ.
Love the pictures! I have some quite similiar ones of the colorful buildings in KL and the clams! :)
nice :)
Your blog is great I feel you should certainly translate it to other languages.
Cool photos! I’m from KL and these made me smile!
Glad you liked the photos of your home town Anis!
Luv the pics of my hometown… thanks Dave :)
