Malaysia Itinerary 2023

Finally, I'm back with new post...

Anyway, this time I won't share a story about Korea. This year I had a memorable trip to Malaysia. 

In this post, i will share my Malaysia Itinerary so that maybe you can have a little bit inspiration about where to go if someday you have a chance to visit Malaysia. I went to Malaysia only with my sister without the tour guide. Well, our trip is actually quite long, about 7 days, because we are slow-type of person hehe. We don't like to rush everything in short days. Here is our itinerary:

Day 1:

• Flight from Jakarta to Singapore. I have a transit in Singapore because I want to see Jewel Changi Waterfall (HSBC Rain Vortex Singapore)

HSBC Rain Vortex Singapore

• Arrived at Malaysia (KLIA Terminal 2). I stayed a night at the airport. 

Day 2:

• Breakfast at Airport. We decided to eat at Jollibee because there is no Jollibee in Indonesia.

• Go to Kuala Lumpur by using bus. You can buy the ticket directly at the counter.

• Arrived at the KL Sentral. Then, go to my hotel using LRT.
• Check in at my hotel. I stayed at Floresta Hotel which is located around China Town area.
  
• Exploring China town and trying KFC Malaysia for the first time.

• Exploring KL using GO-KL bus. Very interesting because it's free to ride the GO-KL bus.
• Shopping some snacks at KK Minimarket.

Day 3:

• Breakfast at Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam, which is still located in China Town. My recommendation is to try the toast and the coffee, super good for breakfast. The restaurant is quite famous that's why many people came here to have a breakfast. If you want to get a breakfast here, I suggest you to come early, because if you come late, you have to be patient and stand in line.

• Visiting Genting Highland for a day trip. We took bus to go to Genting Highland. You can buy the ticket online. 
• Exploring areas of Genting Highlands (Sky Avenue, Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park, Chin Swee Caves Temple, Genting Highlands Premium Outlets)
