Mid Valley

Kuala Lumpur - Arrived on SQ with Phill to KL - and we quickly zipped past the 'taxi touts' on KLIA express straight into Sentral station. We were booked into Boulevard Hotel - a new hotel part of the IGB Corporation Group. A Malaysian conglomorate that includes many hotels including the Midvalley Megamall. The location of Mid Valley is strategically located between KL and PJ (Petaling Jaya).

Boulevard hotel - a four star hotel located just 2 minutes walk to the MidValley Megamall on the Ground floor. The rooms are neat and clean, has good internet access and the rates includes breakfast -at RM260 for deluxe room - I think it is a good rate.

At the Megamall, there are so many restaurants and shops on 5 floors - and I heard the megamall is developing to make this even bigger.

The Equire Kitchen (located on the ground floor of the mall) - $$ - Popular among locals for its homestyle Chinese food. The decor is fuss-free, clean and bright. Reasonably priced - tried their famous chicken rice but it is not as good as others I have tried.

Finnegan's Irish Pub and Restaurant (located also on outside ground floor of the mall) - $$ - Phill ordered Tiger Beer and we just ordered the same - I think Phill likes Tiger Beer compared to many Asian beers. Well...Tiger Beer will slowly be on US soil with their signed agreement Anheuser-Busch. Besides beers, Finnegan's had a good selection of Irish dishes - I had "Beef stew in Stout" - it was delicious.
