Experiencing China Town with Pacific Express Hotel (Kuala Lumpur)

Kuala Lumpur, W. Persekutuan (K.L.)

For us Malaysian, it's hardly for us explore Kuala Lumpur in details. It's just shopping, shopping and working trip at most.

Recently, after my trip to KL for Bridging Guilds International ’s event by Girl Guides Association Malaysia for the guilds (I'm an adult guide), I have the chance to experience the historical faces KL. It's my first to stay very close to Petaling Street, just in the center of KL.

With my mom and aunts, we were staying at one superior room and another with standard room. Surprisingly, my aunt's never been to this side of KL. The prefer to stay at familiar place such as Mid Valley. 😅

Premier Room

Basically, it is a family room for 3 - 4 person.

Superior Room

Spacious and comfortable room size would be one good condition for us.

 Standard Room

Similar to superior, just room size differences.

My room overlooking to Petaling Street's entrance.

Welcome Notes

Over looking entrance to China town (Petaling Street)

Half of our day spending our time at nearby tourist spots, afraid not! We took quite a number of photographs, especially at the Kwai  Chai Hong (鬼仔巷).

From the old time favourite Fong Wong Pastry, opposite Petaling Street food court.

I'm in love with the building sculptures that we could see the local authority is trying their best to uplift the building and keeping the history alive, to preserve the old KL.

The street behind our hotel. it could lead us to Central Market for art shopping.

The white building ahead is Pacific Express Hotel, Chinatown, formerly it was a mall and currently the highest floor shall be the unit for Fui Chiu Association use.

The Cafe at Pacific Express Hotel

Serving Malaysian breakfast with fried noodles, eggs, fried rice and toasts as well.

We do have the option to book our rooms with breakfast during our stay.

There's always an option to walk down to Petaling Street for some local breakfast along the street!

Central Market

Gorgeous place that we could spent hours. Back then, Central Market is less crowded with less things to see. 

Now, there's tourists and local that will be there for dine in and shopping. Non the less, weekly traditional dances show. How lovely is that!

Had our simple breakfast at Pacific Express Hotel and that's the way to start a brand new day! 

So, both of us, Beverly and I had a good morning walk from the hotel to China Town Walk, which located behind our hotel (The blue building is Central Market).

- China Town Walk @ Laluan Pekan Cina -

It was officially my first stroll at that area, never knew that the design of those buildings was influenced by the Chinese culture back then. :) I do love heritage, without them, there's no today.

- Laluan Kasturi/ Kasturi Walk -

Where Central Market hawker stall located! Central Market can be classified as one of the place where crowd would be.

- Laluan Kasturi -

WAU symbol. One of the sign which symbolized the culture of Malaysia. :)

- Cultural Walk -

Just like what I have mentioned, culture is important and representing the nation today.

- Sun Ray -

Love this shot, the morning sun ray.

I love being a tourist, and most of the time they treated me as one and wait until they knew I could speak Malay, they were surprised! haha :D

Just bare in mind, not everyone are nice, just be extra careful when we passes by the alleys and pick who to speak to!

- At the crossroad -
