For my second show with Burgo we decided that the new Air Asia flights from Darwin to KL were a great opportunity to talk about why KL makes a wonderful holiday destination.

Enjoy the audio below and maybe just a few of my favourite KL pics.

Air Asia flights are taking off from Darwin to KL, connecting the top end to top destinations across Asia.
The street food on Jalan Alor will fill you with dumplings, satays, laksas, fresh fruit and maybe you can even try a durian!
Exploring Little India during Deepavali, the Indian Hindu Festival of Light, is also a time where crackers are sold in stalls and then held at arms length and aimed (sometimes) skywards.
I love old fashioned Kampung Baru, the energy of Bukit Bintang, the vibrancy of Jalan Alor and so much more, but make time to sit at the base of the Petronas Towers for an awesome look upwards at these beautiful twin towers.

It was a battle that was broadcast across the ABC airwaves of the Northern Territory with Andrew Murdoch and he graciously gave me the win. He wasn’t convinced that the new Air Asia flights from Darwin to Kuala Lumpur would fill many seats but after my descriptions of a city full of vibrant culture – from architecture to food – and monorails, shopping malls, secret bars, street food and so much more, I won the debate!

Enjoy just a few pics below of KL days and nights:

It’s not the Petronas Towers, Bukit Bintang or Petalang Street, it’s just a little cafe in 2D and it defines the quirkiness you’ll find in a city that enjoys having fun around every corner.

Nasi Lemak is a meal you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favourite Nasi Lemaks in KL are in the old streets of Kampung Baru.

There’s nothing wrong with too much food in KL. Jalan Alor is just behind the bright lights of Bukit Bintang’s high end shopping malls. You’ll find fresh fruit, grilled satays and all sorts of curries and barbecue meats and vegetables that all go very well with a freshly made coconut juice or chilled Tiger beer.
