Touring Kuala Lumpur - Day #3

Malaysia Day was a public holiday, since my boss was around and i have volunteered to bring her around Kuala Lumpur. We have planned to cover the National Mosque, Central Market, Skybar @ 33 Traders KLCC and Din Tai Fung.

Picked up my boss at 2:30pm from the hotel and headed to the national mosque, we arrived at around 3pm and realized we have 1 hr to walked around as the visitor hour is 3pm-4pm. Nothing much to see in the National Mosque. Anyway, it was my first visit to National Mosque.

After visiting the National Mosque, our next stop was Central Market for more shopping, it was the 2nd time my boss visited Central Market. She likes the market with lots of stuff that she can negotiate and purchase. Guess what? She got what she wanted in Central Market :)

Sunset @ Skybar 33 Traders KLCC is stunning but unfortunately that day the weather reported HAZY. No stunning sunset just the nice lighting of KLCC... Sigh~ Boss has no luck to see the stunning sunset. Anyway, she will be back early next year.

We chilled at Skybar until around 8pm and left for our dinner at Din Tai Fung, Pavillion. We walked over to Pavillion via the skybridge. Reached the restaurant and waited for around 10 mins then we were being seated at a nice and cosy corners. My colleague and I have ordered the food and boss was very enjoying with the food. 

Anyway, we ended the day with a good night greeting at the hotel lobby before headed home. 

SkyBar @ Traders Hotel

Yup! the bar is high up in the sky...

The famous and popular Skybar is located at 33th floors of Traders Hotel KLCC. The bar has become an icon or a must visit place when you are in  Kuala Lumpur.

SkyBar located at 33th floor of Trader Hotel. It started with a simple pool bar like other poolside bar in Kuala Lumpur. If you look into the picture below carefully, you would be able to see some people swimming in the pool. Once sundown... the Skybar will turn into a live bar with nice music and booze. Not to mention the spectacular view of Petronas Twin Tower as the backdrop of the bar which has made this place a very nice place to chill and hangout with friends after work or weekend.

Last Monday (June 10th) was my friend's birthday. I was searching high and low for a nice place to celebrate my friend's birthday. Finally i figured out and brought her to this prestigious bar in Kuala Lumpur.  We order foods and drinks, sitting facing outside, waiting for the spectacular moment...

Spectacular moment... what is the moment about?
If you get a nice seat by the windows you will get a splendid view of Petronas Twin Tower...

Sundown... Lights up

Completely lights up in dark

So the spectacular moment is that you got the chance to see the different snapshots of the Petronas Twin Tower as time passerby from sunset until the lights up completely as the sky getting darker and darker.

You might also wanna to turn around and look at the bar with the pool and it's surrounding area within the CBD of Kuala Lumpur.

Are you convince to pay a visit now?

SkyBar @ 33 floors Traders Hotel KLCC

A bunch of my colleagues and I got invited from the Traders Hotel management to pay a visit to their SkyBar @ 33 floors. The team has organized this small cocktail functions with some finger food and the specialty Lychee Martini (it's nice).

We took a cabbie service provided by the Traders Hotel for their guest from KLCC Fountain to Traders Hotel lobby. As we reached the ground floor of the Traders Hotel, we got into the lift and headed to the pretigious bar in Malaysia, the SkyBar @ 33 floors Traders Hotel.

Upon arriving we were greeted by Peter the sales manager and he just accompanied us to the table that he has reserved for us with a spectacular view of the Twin Towers. We chilled out while talking with Peter and his team, enjoying breathtaking view and sipping the Traders signiture drink - Lychee Martini.
