Kuala Lumpur 2013

2013 was a hectic year. My girlfriends and I decided to take a short break to Genting and Kuala Lumpur. Though short, we have decided to go for a touch of the luxury.

A personal pick-up from our homes through Tuas to Genting. We had a fantastic stop over along the way. A heart-warming lunch to fill our stomachs and the famous durian store. We came at the right season. The aroma was in the air. It is quintessentially South East Asian, an acquired delicacy.

Finally arriving in Genting. Most have dispersed into the casino whilst a few of us went shopping and massage. The weather was cool. The last time my parents took me to Genting was when I was about seven. Soon it was dinner, courtesy of my girlfriend.

The next morning, we had a personal pick-up down to Kuala Lumpur. A must visit to Petronas Twin Tower.

On the suspended skybridge connecting Tower 1 and Tower 2. This is truly an amazing architecture.

We had the luxury of staying on The Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The hotel graced by many celebrities and royals. Not only was it elegant, the service was impeccable. We were escorted to our rooms immediately after check-in. The beautifully appointed rooms were spacious. The views, overlooking KLCC garden and twin towers.

Most of the hotel guests were very well dressed even the service staff were incredibly groomed. I always thought MO has one of the best uniforms for their service staff. First impression counts.

Plentiful of mirror in the bathroom. A girl's dream.

I took my girlfriends to my usual diner, Umai-Yu in Suria where we had a hearty meal. Afterwhich, we  managed to steal a night cap in the lobby before turning in.

The Lounge is beautiful with oversized sofa

Breakfast at Mosiac was fantastic. We were spoilt for choice. Again the service staff were great. I have nothing but compliments for MO in KL. I shall look forward to my next trip to KLCC.
