Thanks to that super lame movie Entrapment, starring Sean Connery and Katherine Zeta Jones (circa 1999), I pictured Kuala Lumpur as a very different place than it actually is. Rather than the ramshackle ghetto (plus fabulous twin tower) depicted in the movie, the city is actually modern and easy to get around. It has fast become our favorite Southeast Asian city – our little home away from home.
Air Asia, the discount airline that is responsible for making our flights around SE Asia so easy, uses Kuala Lumpur as their hub. It’s for this reason that we’re here for a third time in four months. That, and you can eat sushi here. And drink wine. And drink lattes. Really, the list could go on and on…KL (as it’s known here) is a place where you can let the food and wine snob come out for a while.
Fried rice be damned! It’s filet mignon with truffle shavings for me tonight.
