📍 Location Batu Caves is located just north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – about a 20-minute drive from the city center. It’s one of the most important Hindu religious sites outside of India. 🛕 What to See The main attraction is the massive golden statue of Lord Murugan, standing 42 meters tall. Behind it, 272 colorful steps lead up to the main cave temple inside a limestone hill. The interior is impressive, with natural light pouring in through openings in the rock. 🌿 Garden and Surroundings At the base of the steps, there’s a peaceful garden area filled with tropical plants, fountains, and small shrines. You might see peacocks and monkeys roaming freely. It’s a nice place to relax before or after climbing the stairs. 🐒 Monkey Warning The monkeys around Batu Caves are bold! Keep an eye on your belongings, and don’t carry food in the open, as they can grab it quickly. 🎨 Other Attractions Nearby: • Ramayana Cave (to the left of the main staircase): A colorful, less crowded cave with glowing statues and murals that tell the story of the Ramayana epic. • Dark Cave (currently closed at times): A conservation area for cave tours and educational visits. 🕒 Best Time to Visit Early morning or late afternoon, to avoid the heat and crowds. During Thaipusam Festival (usually in January/February), the site becomes incredibly busy and vibrant with processions and offerings. 📸 Tips for Visitors • Wear respectful clothing (cover shoulders and knees). • Bring water – the climb can be tiring. • Don’t rush – the view from the top is worth the effort. #malaysiatrip

Rising above the hills of Air Itam, Kek Lok Si Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia and a must-visit for anyone traveling to Penang. With its grand architecture, colorful pagodas, and panoramic views, it’s a perfect blend of spiritual depth and visual wonder. A Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas Founded in the late 19th century, Kek Lok Si (meaning "Temple of Supreme Bliss") is a sprawling complex filled with halls, gardens, shrines, and sculptures. Its highlight? The Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas, a unique mix of Chinese, Thai, and Burmese design styles that symbolize unity in diversity. Climb the pagoda for sweeping views of George Town and the surrounding hills — it's worth every step. Giant Goddess of Mercy The temple’s most iconic feature is the 36-meter bronze statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, standing gracefully under a massive pavilion. It's a powerful spiritual site and a favorite photo spot. Visiting Tips Opening hours: Daily, approx. 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM. Entrance: Free for most areas; a small fee for the pagoda and inclined lift. Getting there: Take a Grab, public bus number 201, 203, 204, 502 from George Town, or hike from the base if you're up for it. What to wear: Modest clothing is appreciated — it’s an active religious site. Best time: Morning or late afternoon for softer light and cooler temperatures. Bonus: Chinese New Year Lights If you visit like we did in January or February, don’t miss the Kek Lok Si Light Festival, when the entire temple glows with thousands of lanterns — a truly magical experience. More than just a sightseeing stop, Kek Lok Si is a place of peace, reflection, and cultural richness. Whether you're drawn by its art, faith, or beauty, this temple offers a deeper look into Penang’s spiritual soul. #malaysia #kekloksi #penang #georgetown #historicallandmarks #familytrip #tripmoments

#malaysiatrip I went to KL Tower and got the full combo ticket — Sky Deck, Sky Box, and Tower Walk 100. I’ll be honest… I’m afraid of heights, but I still did it. And I’m so glad I did. The Sky Deck gave incredible views of the entire KL skyline. Then came the Sky Box — a glass box that sticks out from the tower. The main purpose? 📸 Taking pretty photos. It literally feels like you’re standing in the air with nothing below your feet 🫣 But there’s a catch — ⏱️ there’s a timer for the Sky Box. So if you want good photos, plan your poses in advance! Once that countdown starts, it goes fast, and you don’t want to freeze while figuring out what to do 😅 The final challenge was Tower Walk 100. I got strapped into a full safety harness and walked along the edge of the tower, with a glass floor and open views all around. Scary? Yes. But the staff were super helpful, and honestly, I was proud of myself for doing it. 💡 Travel Tip Afraid of heights? Same. But this is the kind of experience that stays with you forever. Just go slow, trust the gear, and enjoy the view. #kualalumpurtrip #traveladdict #travelasia #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #kualalumpur #kltower #kltowerview #skyboxmalaysia #skydeckkl #malaysia #malaysiatravel #malaysia🇲🇾

George Town, the capital of Penang, Malaysia, is where heritage meets hip. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this walkable city blends British colonial buildings, Chinese shophouses, Indian temples, and Malay traditions into a vibrant, colorful experience. History You Can Feel Wander through Armenian Street and you’ll see George Town’s story come alive — from street art murals to restored heritage homes. Don’t miss the Blue Mansion or Pinang Peranakan Mansion for a glimpse into the city’s multicultural past. Food You’ll Never Forget Penang is often called Malaysia’s food capital. Try char kway teow, Penang laksa, and nasi kandar from busy hawker stalls or the famous Gurney Drive Night Market. Looking for sweets? Cendol is a must on a hot afternoon. Culture in Every Corner Visit the Kek Lok Si Temple, one of Southeast Asia’s largest Buddhist temples, and Kapitan Keling Mosque, a symbol of Penang’s diverse religious harmony. You’ll find Hindu temples, churches, and clan houses all within walking distance. The Old Protestant Cemetery, also known as Northam Road Cemetery, is a disused Protestant cemetery in George Town. After more than a century of neglect, it is now listed as a Class 1 Heritage Site and is maintained by the Penang Heritage Trust. What to Know Before You Go Getting there: Fly to Penang International Airport or take a bus/ferry from mainland Malaysia. Getting around: The city is compact — explore on foot, by bicycle, or hop on the free CAT shuttle bus. Best time to visit: December to March for cooler, dry weather. Local tip: Wake up early — mornings are cooler, markets are lively, and breakfast is the best meal in Penang! George Town is more than a destination — it’s a living museum, foodie haven, and a place where past and present exist side by side. If you're heading to Malaysia, don’t skip this city that wears its culture with pride on every wall, plate, and smile. #tripmoments #familytrip #historicallandmarks #penang #malaysia #georgetown

#summervacay Our weekday escape to Johor Bahru was short and sweet, but packed with good eats, cosy vibes, and a mid-afternoon movie. From flaky croissants to chewy mochi and everything in between, it was the kind of easy, fuss-free day out that left us full and recharged—all within the window of 9am to 4pm. We started the morning just across the border at Dona Bakehouse, a two-storey café with warm European vintage charm tucked just minutes from the checkpoint. The pistachio rose croissant was beautifully layered with a delicate floral note, while the pain au chocolat was buttery and rich. Paired with a hazelnut latte, it was the kind of breakfast that felt like a little luxury to start the day. Our next stop was Alley & Daisy, a beautifully styled café hidden in a three-storey shophouse nearby. The interior had a vintage, almost old-Europe elegance, with quiet seating upstairs and soft ambient lighting that made it feel like a tucked-away retreat. We shared the green curry with crispy fried chicken, and a savoury fried chicken toast topped with a perfectly poached egg. The drinks here were also a highlight—creamy matcha for something comforting, and the refreshing “Midsummer,” a pear and ume plum blend that was light and cooling. Craving something sweet, we made our way to Siblings Gelato, a cheerful space decked out in vibrant pastels. The artisanal gelato was smooth and flavourful—we chose dragonfruit and chocolate, served with their signature mochi waffle. Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and made to pair perfectly with the cold, creamy scoops. After all the food and exploring, we headed to City Square Mall for a little browsing, then popped over to KSL City Mall to catch a movie. Weekdays are perfect for this—no crowds, no queues, just a chill air-conditioned break to unwind before heading back. Before calling it a day, we made one last stop at Nuo Yuan Mochi at Holiday Villa. This cute little shop is known for making each mochi fresh to order, and it shows. We tried the strawberry daifuku and peanut taro—both soft, pillowy, and packed with filling. The space itself was lovely too, with bright yellow interiors that made the whole place feel sunny and sweet. From flaky bakes to handmade mochi, this 9am to 4pm JB day trip gave us just the right dose of flavour, fun, and comfort—all without needing to stay overnight. #afternoonteatime #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #myitinerary #citydaytours #localfood

Looking for a destination that’s a little off the beaten path and full of personality? Let me introduce you to Kuching, the capital of Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo — a city whose name literally means “cat” in Malay. If you’re a feline fan or just love quirky cities with rich culture, delicious food, and friendly locals, this place deserves a spot on your list. Why “Cat City”? No one’s entirely sure why Kuching got its name — some say it’s because of a nearby river named “Sungai Kuching,” others believe it’s because of the abundance of cats back in the day. Regardless of the origin, the city has fully embraced its feline identity. From giant cat statues in the middle of roundabouts to the quirky Cat Museum (yes, that’s a thing!), you’ll find feline influences everywhere. Kuching isn’t just about cats. The city is set along the scenic Sarawak River, with a beautiful waterfront promenade that’s perfect for evening strolls. Visit Fort Margherita, explore the vibrant streets of Chinatown, and take a river cruise to watch the sunset behind the colonial-era buildings. Nature lovers can take a trip to Bako National Park, home to proboscis monkeys and wild beaches. Kuching is known for its abundance of durian, often referred to as the "King of Fruits". During the durian season, the city and its surrounding areas, become a haven for durian lovers. Don’t Miss the Food Sarawak Laksa is a local specialty that you can’t miss — it’s spicy, rich, and unforgettable. Pair it with kolo mee (dry noodles with pork or beef) and you’ve got a perfect Kuching meal. Street food stalls and waterfront cafés make dining in the city both delicious and affordable. Travel Tips The best time to visit is between April and October for the driest weather. Getting around is easy by Grab. June to September is when the durian season is at its peak. The durian season can be affected by the weather, so the exact timing can vary from year to year. Final Thoughts Whether you’re a cat enthusiast or a curious traveler, Kuching offers a mix of culture, comfort, and cuteness. It’s one of Southeast Asia’s underrated gems — and you just might leave with a few more cat souvenirs than expected. #tripmoments #kuching #catcity #malaysia #borneo #sarawak #malaysiatrip #cats #durian

If you’re dreaming of dense rainforest, rare wildlife, and coastal cliffs straight out of an adventure film, look no further than Bako National Park. Tucked on the northwestern coast of Borneo (in Malaysia’s Sarawak state), Bako is a hidden gem that offers some of the best of Borneo in one compact park. Getting There Bako is just 37 km from Kuching, the capital of Sarawak. From the city, you can take a bus № 1 or taxi to the Bako National Park jetty, then hop on a 30-minute boat ride to reach the park. The boat ride itself is part of the adventure! Why Visit? Bako is small but incredibly diverse. Though the park covers just 27 square kilometers, it boasts seven different ecosystems, ranging from swamp forest and dipterocarp jungle to white-sand beaches and cliffs. But the true stars of the park are the animals. Bako is one of the best places in Borneo to spot: Proboscis monkeys — the rare, big-nosed primates found only on Borneo Monitor lizards, wild boars, and silvered langurs Colorful tropical birds Unique insects, snakes, frogs, and even flying lemurs at night Trails, Beaches & Views There are 16 hiking trails in Bako — from short 30-minute walks to full-day treks. At the end of many trails, you’ll find quiet beaches, sea stacks, or sandstone formations shaped by centuries of waves and wind. But you can see plenty of wildlife without even leaving the park headquarters. Staying Overnight You can stay inside the park at basic chalets or hostels (book ahead through the Sarawak Forestry website). Staying overnight gives you the chance to see nocturnal wildlife on a guided night walk, which is a must-do! Travel Tips Bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and good hiking shoes Wear light, quick-drying clothing — it’s hot and humid year-round Avoid feeding animals and keep your food sealed — the monkeys are sneaky! Final Thoughts Bako National Park is raw, rugged, and unforgettable. It may be small in size, but it delivers big adventures — from jungle hikes to up-close wildlife encounters. Whether you're a backpacker, photographer, or nature lover, this is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. So pack your boots, grab a raincoat, and head to Bako — one of Borneo’s wildest treasures. #bakonationalpark #borneo #MalaysiaTravel #TripMoments #nationalpark #ecotravel #wildlife #kuching #malaysia

This second time of KL trip wasn’t really about sightseeing or chasing photo spots — I was mainly there to enjoy the MLBB M6 tournament with my husband and little brother 🎮🇲🇾. So I didn’t plan for much, just soaking in the city vibes. I have been thinking for taking photo at that spot since my first visit, but didn't get a chance to as I was too occupied with touring around the city and Putrajaya. But this second time, on one random night, while walking back to Hilton Garden Inn Hotel 🛏 from a nearby dinner spot 🍽️, I stumbled across this street view… and wow — hello again, Twin Towers! 🏙️✨ Couldn’t resist snapping a quick photo 📸. It’s now another cool addition to my Twin Towers view hunting collection 🤳💫. Sometimes, the best views just find you. 🌆📷💛 #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #travelasia #asianwomantravels #asianwoman #travel #travelphotography #photospot #throwback #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip #kualalumpurtravel #kualalumpurvibes #malaysia #malaysiatravel #malaysiatrip #malaysia🇲🇾 #shortgetaway #shortescape

Watching the MLBB M-Series tournament in person has always been one of my dreams — like, I need to go at least once in my life! As someone who's into gaming, this was a must-do for me 😍🎯. So I finally made it happen — went there with my husband and my little brother, my ultimate gaming partner since we were kids 👾🫶. Sadly, our country’s team got knocked out before we even arrived 😅, so we didn’t get the chance to cheer for them in person. But that didn’t stop us! We still had so much fun cheering for other teams, soaking up the hype, and enjoying the electric crowd energy together 🤩📣🔥. Being there live at Axiata Arena Kuala Lumpur, surrounded by passionate fans, really hit different — such an exciting and unforgettable experience. Can’t wait for the next one! 🎮💥💙🗣️📸 #throwback #gamingmemories #M6MLBB #travelphotography #axiataarena #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip #kualalumpurtravel #malaysia #malaysiatrip #malaysiatravel #malaysia🇲🇾 #shortgetaway #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #mlbbm6 #travelasia

After arriving in KL in the afternoon, I wasn’t in the mood for anything too heavy. Just wanted to unwind, take it easy, and find a cozy spot to relax. So after a short rest at the hotel, I headed over to BookXcess – a perfect place for some light exploring and photo-taking. Nestled inside RexKL, this bookstore isn’t just about books – it’s a whole aesthetic experience. Whether you’re into taking photos or just flipping through pages, the vibe is super laid-back.

There's a café just downstairs, where I grabbed a coffee and chilled with no rush, no pressure. ✅ Opening Hours: 🕒 Daily from 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM Highly recommend for anyone who just landed and wants to ease into KL with a little quiet time, creativity, and caffeine. #travelasia #traveladdict #localguides #enjoythemoment #lifeisgood #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtrip #kualalumpurguide #malaysia #malaysiatravel #malaysiatrip #malaysia🇲🇾 #bookexcess #bookxcessrexkl #shortgetaway #shortescape #throwback #travel #travelphotography

#postandearn When I visited Kuala Lumpur, my mission was clear: Take as many stunning photos with the Petronas Twin Towers as possible—but without the crowds and not from the usual spot where everyone gathers (right in front of the towers). 😎 So, I did some research 🧐 and found a few amazing spots that gave me unique angles, a chill vibe, and photo results I absolutely loved: 📍 Saloma Link Bridge A beautifully designed pedestrian bridge with a fantastic view of the towers. Perfect for photos, especially when it’s quiet! 🌳 KLCC Park A peaceful green escape right near the towers. You get that perfect combo of nature + skyline, and it’s never too crowded early in the morning. 🚶♀️ Walk from Saloma Link to Twin Towers This walk is like a hidden photo gem for me! Different angles, cool city backdrops, and best of all—hardly anyone around. Loved the casual vibe! 🍽️ Alva KL Restaurant Not just a place to eat, but also a stunning rooftop spot with one of the best views of the Twin Towers. ✨ The food? Amazing. 📸 The view? Unmatched—if you get the right table. ⚠️ Make sure to book in advance and request the tables closest to the towers! We didn’t get that 😔 but it was still totally worth the visit. 💡 Travel Tip Go early in the morning for the best lighting and to avoid the crowd. And if you're planning a rooftop meal, make your reservation early and be specific about your seating request! #throwback #travel #travelphotography #kualalumpur #malaysia #malaysiatrip #malaysia🇲🇾 #salomabridge #klccpark #alvaKL #twintowers #twintowerskl #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #travelasia #photospot #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment

#summervacay Marine Beach Bar at Danga Bay is one of those places that instantly feels like a coastal escape. As the sun starts to dip behind the horizon, the sky transforms into a breathtaking display of pink, purple, and golden hues — the kind of sunset that makes you pause, soak it in, and maybe even forget you’re still in Johor Bahru. Set right by the waterfront, the bar has a breezy open-air layout with rustic touches and a tropical vibe. One of the standout features? The wooden swings facing the sea. It’s the perfect spot to sit back, feel the ocean breeze, and watch the sky change color with a drink in hand. The whole place has a laid-back, island-inspired charm that makes you want to stay until the last bit of sunlight disappears. The menu offers a mix of Western comfort food and local favourites. We tried the satay — grilled just right, tender, and smoky with a generous side of peanut sauce. The carbonara was a creamy, no-fuss plate that hit the spot after a long day. The nasi lemak came with fragrant coconut rice, crispy anchovies, egg, and sambal — a satisfying and familiar pick with a view that elevated the whole experience. Prices are slightly on the higher side compared to typical local food spots, but honestly, you’re paying for the vibes — and it’s worth it. Between the colorful skies, beachfront seating, and casual atmosphere, it’s an ideal place to catch golden hour or unwind into the evening. If you’re in Johor Bahru and looking for somewhere to watch the sunset in full color, Marine Beach Bar is worth a visit. Just be sure to get there around 6:30 pm to grab a good seat — preferably one of those wooden swings — and let nature do the rest. #seascapes #myitinerary #couplestrip #travel #beachlife #thingstodo #naturalwonders #localfood

#summervacay We visited Little Bun in Taman Eco Botanic and appreciated its calm, minimalist vibe. The space is bright and clean, with white walls and light wooden accents that give it a subtle Korean bakery feel—simple and inviting. One of the highlights is how they steam their brioches fresh right at the counter. Watching the process adds a nice layer to the experience, and the buns come out incredibly soft and warm, with a delicate, slightly sweet crumb that’s very different from typical oven-baked bread. We tried their scrambled egg croissant first—flaky, buttery layers wrapped around creamy, well-seasoned scrambled eggs. It’s straightforward but done well. The matcha red bean mochi steamed brioche was more unique. The bun itself was light and airy, with a gentle matcha aroma. Inside, the chewy mochi paired nicely with smooth, mildly sweet red bean paste, creating a nice balance of textures and flavors without being too heavy or overly sweet. Besides the steamed buns, they also offer sourdough loaves and a handful of savory options like pasta and soup, but the steamed brioches feel like the centerpiece here. Little Bun isn’t flashy or loud — it’s a quiet spot where the focus is on quality and simplicity. If you’re in the area and want something comforting and thoughtfully made, it’s worth a visit.
