Whether it’s gracious colonial promenades melded with vibrant oriental colours, laidback old-world kampungs nestled amid glitzy skyscrapers, or rustic cafes cosy with early 90’s nostalgia, don’t let KL’s sophisticated exterior fool you into missing out on its diverse lesser-known treasures.

Plaza Mont Kiara
Gemmed with eye-opening experiences, from heritage-rich lanes lined with restored vintage buildings and riddled with resplendent art to the simplistic grandeur of nature-kissed enclaves, KL is more than a mega-city revolving around epicurean tastes. If you’re looking for an elegantly shoppable enclave for rummaging through exclusive artisan pieces and tasting traditional flavours with a creative twist, head to the classy caravel of Plaza Mont Kiara market.
Kampung Baru
If nothing serenades your fancy like the quaintly picturesque and fascinatingly true-to-life, don’t miss out on this wholesome settlement of traditional wooden houses adorned with delicious blossoms of bougainvillaea and frangipani, peaceful teh tarik sessions with the laid-back locals, and the charming weekend market where you can stock up on captivating locally crafted collectables.
The LINC KL
A quirky, vibrant, and welcoming artisan space with great coffee, colourful cascades of paper cranes, dining amidst an indoor forest, and browsing through gorgeously artsy pieces, the LINC KL is a shopping mall you won’t easily forget! If you’re questing for Bukit Mertajam apartments with prime access to KL’s enriching enticements, venture no further than the likes of Citadines Prai Penang.
KL Upside-down House
For a delightfully disorientating experience, KL has turned innovative architecture (literally) on its head with its adorable upside-down cottage surrounded by a white picket fence and lushly shaded palm trees.
