- Danny W4 contributionsThe dinner we had at Ming Kee restaurant was excellent, e.g. BBQ chicken wings, Hokkien fried noodle, salty fish bean sprouts,... etc. I would definitely go back to this restaurant again.
However, a disappointing durian experience at Jalan Alor durian vendor. We asked for a Musang King durian and asked if it was "guaranteed" (i.e. a higher price per kg) to be creamy, sweet and ripe. They said they would. We are not experts in durian, but definitely can tell a ripe one from a not ripe one. We were half way through hoping the rest would be better but we noticed it was all the same. We explained what we noticed to the vendor and the vendor brought us another piece of durian in a Saran wrapped package for exchange. We declined for the exchange; because we did not know what type/grade of durian it was in the package. The durian vendor gave us a discount of MYR $37 from the total MYR $287 and insisted us to pay MYR $250. See the vendor in the photo. We will never visit this durian vendor again.
I would give 5 to Ming Kee restaurant and 1 to the durian vendor. Therefore, my overall experience at Jalan Alor was 4.

- irenevffDasmarinas City, Philippines6,011 contributionsthis is a very good hang-out place if you're alone or with friends. this mall is just right beneath the petronas twin towers.
there is a lot of high-end stores here and also familiar fast-food chains. what i really liked was the kinokuniya bookstore at the third floor. had i have more time to spend, i would have stayed longer and explore more books.

Located just outside of the city, I got there via the hop-on/hop-off bus (about 1hr from Stop #1). I paid at the gate (MYR 85.00). The Park is well set out, although set in a valley, there are easy walk paths to allow everyone to get around; a couple of the walk-in aviaries have double-door access which maybe a bit tricky in a wheel chair. Allow yourself a few hours to take it all in; I spent an enjoyable 3hrs walking among the birds.Written 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ChooiHoong FKuala Lumpur, Malaysia52 contributionsHello
Not sure how useful this review will be for others. It’s for anyone thinking of visiting Malaysia.
Review of Else Hotel, a luxury hotel in Chinatown( Petaling Street) Kuala Lumpur. The Lee Rubber Building was constructed in 1930 in an art deco style with a grey facade. Originally only 4 floors when it was renovated for the hotel 2 levels were added.
There is only one accesible room on the first floor but for Kuala Lumpur standards for my needs it was excellent. No wall to wall carpets so made rolling much easier, a spacious bathroom, basin at a comfortable height as as the toilet and the built in shower ledge. I was also pleasantly surprised by the wardrobe with the lower hanging rail. Unfortunately the pool on the 4th floor isn’t accesible because of how it was designed on a platform with steps. Chinatown KL is doable in a wheelchair if you have someone to help you move up and down some kerbs and a step or 2 between the shop houses.
Location of hotel is central in terms of Chinatown.
If you book direct with hotel one can get a discount. For our room we paid USD 130 ( incl of breakfast) which in terms of the luxury label is very reasonable.
