Day 1 Petronas Twin Towers
Our first leg is Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia via Cebu Pacific, we stayed in Sky Hotel Bukit Bintang, a quite new hotel in Bukit Bintang which is walking distance to shopping areas and Petronas Twin Towers. We reached the hotel past 7PM so we had dinner first and went to Petronas Twin Towers. If you want street foods, you can also visit Jalan Alor but we did not do this since we have kids in tow.

Day 2 DIY Kuala Lumpur City Tour
Our second day was Half Day Kuala Lumpur City Tour and Batu Caves. We’re supposed to go to Batu Caves after lunch but my son was not in the mood already so we went back to the hotel. For our half-day city tour, we were able to visit Petronas Towers, National Monument, Istana Negara, National Mosque, KL City Gallery, Merdeka Square, Sultan Abdul Samad Building, KL Tower and National Palace.

Day 3 DIY Singapore City Tour
We checked out early for our Kuala Lumpur to Singapore flight via Air Asia, I chose the airplane over the bus because I dislike long land travel. After one hour we reached Singapore, we had lunch at the airport and off we went to South East Asia Hotel, it is our accommodation for three nights.
We took rest for an hour and we started our DIY City Tour. We started our tour at Clark Quay and we wanted to visit the following places; Asian Civilization, Fullerton Hotel, Merlion, Esplanade, Makansuntra, Helix Bridge, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands.

5 Days in Singapore with Kid
DIY touring is definitely so much better than package tour. You can manage your own time, and can get to see and enjoy the place more closely.
ReplyDeleteWow, Malaysia's on my list of places to visit with our kids. :) Love that you did a DIY tour, I was advised to do that by a jetsetter friend and I like the idea. It seems more enjoyable than a fixed tour, though I wouldn't really know where to go since we've had very little experience in traveling.
ReplyDeleteAt first, DIY seems difficult but you can do it. There are so many DIY travel blogs that you can read to guide you. :)
DeleteI wish can go out of the country, I miss traveling around. I love your DIY travel and I think that is the coolest thing hubby and wifey should do. It's like and adventure when you plan it yourself that having a tour plan. :)
ReplyDeleteWe prefer DIY trip because it is much cheaper.
DeleteI'd love to travel in Asia and visit KL! I haven't really done any vacation in SEA aside from HK which was more than 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteIf money is not an issue, I would love to visit other continents naman. :)
DeleteWow! I would love to travel KL soon! Nice review, Michi! I'm sure you guys had fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteWe're hoping to go on a family trip next year. The kids should be old enough then. It has been soooo long since we last had a vacation! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI ahven't been to KL nor Singapore but we're hoping we can visit Singapore soon.
ReplyDeleteThat was a really full itinerary! No wonder you got tired. Haha! But that's okay. The important thing is that you guys made the most out of your trip.
ReplyDeleteYes, full itinerary because we try to visit more places in one trip. #tipid :)
DeleteIt's our next dream trip, Singapore diretso Malaysia. Thanks for this blog post we are more inspired to save for our trip :-)
