Bought food and chewing gums at Larkin to prepare for the 4.5 hours long coach ride to KL.
                                     

Our coach. Pretty comfortable seats and spacious leg space.

Reached KL at 4pm. Alighted at the bus terminal station.

Had early dinner and checked into this supposed 3-star hotel as claimed by the internet, Hotel Orkid. RM$160 (SGD$66) per night inclusive of breakfast. The hotel is rather accessible. A 8 minutes walk from Berjaya Times Square and another 10 minutes walk from Pudu train station.

Room to house 3 to 4 people

To hang your laundry; clothes; towel etc etc

We settled down in the hotel and took the train to KLCC station and went shopping at Suria KLCC, which is the basement of KLCC. Shops ranged from Miumiu to Louis Vuitton and the mall also had cheaper brands like Uniqlo, Converse and Ripcurl etc.

KLCC basement shopping

Some things were relatively cheap and affordable especially since it's the Year End Sale (YES!) at Malaysia right now.

Bought 2 male shirts at only RM$64 (SGD$26) in total which was discounted at 70%.

The 2 casual tees

Also got 2 fleece jackets from Uniqlo at only RM$50 (SGD$20) each!
                            
Then we went to tour the area around KLCC.

And left KLCC for supper back at Pudu.
