Come kwokhau, i bring you to eat TeoChew Mueh(porridge). And perhaps most people would want to try the famous Bak Kut Teh(pork) in klang. sorry to our muslims friends, but I can bring you guys to the famous Satay in Kajang too. As for budget hotel, i recommend Hotel Nouva in alor street. Quite decent one based on my friends last stay. The plus point is they got a whole street of hawker food along the street. Go with some local guy though, pricewise.
Hi Guys, Found another cheap accommodation at the KL International Youth Centre (IYC) at Bandar Tun Razak, just behind my place, Taman Midah. Rate is $40.00 for single and $65.00 for a double. Only drawback, LRT train is about 1/2km away, you need to take a taxi to and fro. Around this place are all sport centres like a public swimming pool, a stadium, a badminton hall, UKM hospital and hidden away, a great outdoor lake where in the wee morning, you get to see yound and old jogging around the lake. Only 1 eating place, KFC, a 5 mins walk from IYC. I will try to post a few pictures nce a snap pictures of IYC. Cheers,
Do you know website address of Hotel Nouva? How far ffrom Hang Tuah LRT station is this? Thanks in advance!
Hi Guys, Okay, managed to take 2 pictures of the International Youth Centre (IYC) in KL where they do provide accommodation at a very reasonable rate, said all rooms come with air-cond with ample free parking and free use of the gymnasium as stated on the notice board. At the entrance, there is a security guard house. Single room and double room rate is $45 and $60 respectively. It is very convenient if you are driving from outstation, better than YMCA. For guests from oversea, the nearest LRT station is 1/2 km away, taxi is the easiest from IYC to LRT. If cost saving is what you want, IYC is the place coz it is also at the south part of KL, if not mistaken about 3 or 4 LRT away only from Bt Jalil. Tel nos is there, for outstation, please add 03 and for international, please add 00 60 03 and foll0w by the IYC nos. Pictures enclosed for viewing. cheers
Guys, need a confirmation here.. ..to M'sian based BC members: Is Petaling Jaya area near the stadium?? If so, how far away(kilometres or minutes) away is Petaling Jaya from the stadium??...thanks much guys!!
No, Petaling Jaya is not near to the Bt Jalil Stadium, all depend where you are staying. PJ is on the north west while stadium is on the south side, if staying at SS2, at least give yourself half an hour drive to reach Bt Jalil. Hope it helps.
Petaling Jaya is not too far from the Stadium, probably about 15 kms away (15-20 minutes) via Bandar Sunway, past LDP H'way and on towards Kesas H'way all the way to Bukit Jalil. There is another way via Bandar Kinrara/Puchong, which is shorter (and cheaper for those who pay toll) but the roads are not smooth and you will pass roadworks near the National Stadium on the way in.
ctjcad, if u are coming and staying in PJ, you'll want to stay at locations where taxis are readily available. There are no direct buses or LRT to Bukit Jalil. One suggestion is Armada Hotel close to the Federal H'way, taxis are in abundance there. You can still take LRT, but budget more than 1 hour + you need to change LRT at Masjid Jamek station.
Thanks much for the infos.. ..and help, Ramakristan & abedeng..Yes, i've gotten a bit of infos also from ants & angelatby as well..And I think i have a better picture of the area now. With that said, i think it's better to stay in the Seri Petaling area or one that is in between downtown KL and Bukit Jalil/Seri Petaling, as staying in Petaling Jaya would be much further if i want to go to the downtown KL area... thanks for the tip, abedeng...Yes, transportation is one to think about..Yes, taxis are definitely more convenient, speed/time-wise..
Is Bukit Jalil Golf Resort far from the stadium In K L, most likely I will stay at Jalan 0/155A Bukit Jalil golf resort with a friend. Are there any KL, BC memebers living close by that area ? Can someone tell me how far is it to the stadium. My walking speed is a bit slower than on court.
There are also rooms available (Cheap) at the the Women Institute of Management....about us$17 per night
abedeng Thanks for the information. 3km is a little far to walk. Will it be easy and convenient to catch a cab ( taxi ) from the stadium back to Bukit Jalil golf resort at night after the matches finished.
I am sure the taxis will be there, they always converge during big tournaments. Only problem is, they might not want to use metered fare and charge extra. This is always a problem with M'sian taxis.
When games over, taxis will be there BUT they will never use metered fare rather than a 1 time charge which is always cut throat price guarantee. That is our problem with M'sian taxis and if I am the Minister Of Transport, I make sure they follow the rules or out they go. If S'pore taxis can do it, why can't our M'sian taxis, blame it on our government, they are not doing a good job after so many many complaints. I for one will never use our taxis.
So, does that mean.. ..the people have no other choice, other than pay the 1 time charge, when they step in those taxis??..
Well if you take Taxi from MidValley to Stadium.. if they charge u one time rate.. sometimes they ask you for RM20 or RM25 or even more. The more reasonable rate is RM15 or less. However it is still best to follow meter.
Be Warn, before stepping into taxis, insist that you want metered fare running, sometimes taxis may go for metered fare PLUS a top up cash maybe $5.00 or more depending on places. And if both parties agreed, you pay taxi fare plus a top up cash as agreed. Either way, customers always pay more. You have the right not to get into taxi and stop another taxi and start all over the hassle. This is why I hate taking taxis in Kuala Lumpur !!!
