The flight into KLIA was brief just 50 minutes from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur - the best part was the fast and efficient KLIA express train from the airport straight into KL Sentral - cost me RM$ 35. From Sentral I catched the taxi to Federal Hotel . I usually stayed at Hilton Kuala Lumpur or Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur - both are 5-star beautifully designed hotels. Both have porters that will take your lugguage from the Sentral train station to the reception.
Hotel Review:
Hotel: Federal Hotel @ 35 Jalan Bukit Bintang
Pros: The Federal Hotel is very near the main shopping area of Bukit Bintang.
Cons: The hotel building looks old and badly needs a renovation. The reception was impersonal and this would be my last stay ever at that hotel until the hotel renovate or upgrade - the only reason I stayed there was because of my customer was located at Jalan Pudu - just a 10 minutes walk to their office.
There is a musky and stale air in the room - the furnishings was just basic and old - no broadband internet access in the room - the wash basin was even cracked -luckily it was just for one night. Even my room card key was worn out and broken - much afraid that when I slot into the door I would not be able to pull the card key out. I think it was not wise to use plastic wrappings for the iron board - the iron board wrappings starts to melt when you place the iron on the ironing board. Most hotels I stayed in uses cloth as their iron board wrapping - it is very strange to use plastic.

Food Review: I like to try different cuisines each time I visit KL and it is always good food,
- Jade Garden Restaurant - $$ - located at Blue Boy Mansion @ Jalan Bukit Bintang -this is a herbal restaurant that serves real good chicken brew for all cures - their detailed menu describes each dishes and it's medicinal purposes. The main herbal dishes are served individually and cost about RM$ 9 and above.
- Pangkor Fish Head Curry - $$$ - located @ 59, SS 24/8, Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya - serves very delicious Fish head curry - we had a small dish of Fish Head curry about RM$ 26.
- Madam Kwan Restaurant - $$$ - located @ Suria KLCC - Peranakan food - very tasty and good - highly recommended
- House of Sundanese - $$$ - located @ Suria KLCC - Indonesian food - part of the same restaurant chain as in Singapore
- Bangsar Seagood restaurant - $$ - located @ 1 Bangsar, No 63, Jalan Ara, Bangsar Baru - Seagood - recommend to try the Butter Crab
- Fatty Crab Restaurant- $$ - Highly receommended - located @ Mines Resort - (Fatty Crab Restaurant has a branch also opposite Pangkor Fish Head Curry @ PJ) - the crabs are Malaysian local crabs and are small compared to Sri Lankan crabs which Singaporeans are used to - but they are deliciously cooked. Differently done called sweet, sour spicy crab. The bread used are not 'man tou' but toasted sliced bread which you can then dipped into the crab sauce.
