Kuala Lumpur

Genting from KL — Awana cable car, indoor theme park, mall city in the clouds. Different vibe from Cameron (less nature, more Vegas). Can combine Pahang trip: Genting 1 day, Cameron 2 days if you drive.

Batu Caves — arrive 7:30am before heat and tour buses. 272 rainbow steps, Murugan statue is absurd scale. Monkeys will grab food — no open bags. KTM Komuter from KL Sentral direct. Banana leaf lunch at foot of hill after. 1.5–2 hrs total.

Village Park nasi lemak SS21 Damansara Utama — queue by 10am weekends. Fried chicken rempah is the reason people drive across KL. No other branch, this is the one. PJ has the food, KL has the skyline — stay Selangor side if you eat more than you sightsee.

Klang bak kut teh — Teluk Pulai claypot on Jalan Batai Laut 5. Herbal soup, dry version interesting. Same street: handmade pau queue (always a line), chilli pan mee next door. This is a food street not a tourist one.

Sultan Salahuddin Blue Mosque Shah Alam — bigger than it looks in photos, free entry outside prayer times. i-City for night lights if you have kids. Selangor gets skipped for KL but Batu Caves alone justifies the state.

Sunway Lagoon full day with kids — book tickets online, weekday shorter queues. Pyramid mall next door for lunch AC. Stayed Subang/PJ area, Grab everywhere. PJ Old Town food map worth an evening if you skip another mall day.
