Also in Print, Our Kuala Lumpur

Hot on the heels of A Philippine Christmas comes word, again via email, that the December issue of Budget Travel, which includes our feature article on where to eat, shop, and 'play' in and around KL, is also out. If it's the article that led you to EatingAsia, welcome!

KL residents would likely find nothing new in the piece, but we're hoping it puts KL (and Malaysia) firmly on the radar of potential visitors. We had a blast researching and photographing it - it's never a bad thing to be compelled to be a tourist in your own town. We were particularly happy to have the opportunity to tout some favorite eateries, such as Pak Din Ikan Bakar in the Lake Gardens, Yut Kee downtown, Weng Kee (home of heavenly duck liver sausage) in Petaling Jaya's Section 17, and old stalwart Sek Yuen.

I just read your article in BT magazine and it was wonderful. My husband and I are relocating to South East Asia(SEA) in the next 2 years and KL is our top pick. Being a midwestern, it is going to be a challenge to acclimate ourselves to the weather. How fierce our the thunderstorms in KL?

Thanks for your blog posts and awesome photos.

Hi Life - KL is great, a nice balance betw. crowded, less-green Bangkok and uber spic-and-span Singapore. It's also conveniently located to go just about anywhere in the region.
We're midwesterners too. Never have acclimated to the climate, but you just get used to being hot when you're outside. Think of it as the hottest, muggiest midwestern summer day ... most of the year round.
Thunderstorms here can be fierce! Lots of lightning and thunder. But we don't mind it. We like the drama. Makes things interesting. ;-)
