Malaysia Day 3: I Tried Durian for the First Time in Kuala Lumpur

Day 3 in Malaysia: 12 hours exploring Kuala Lumpur, from a tech mall packed with collectibles to a stunning mosque, and ending with my first-ever taste of durian. I started the day at Bukit Bintang, KL's tourist and shopping hub, grabbing coffee and pancakes at Fika Coffee Roasters — easily some of the best pancakes I've had. From there I wandered down Jalan Alor, KL's famous night food market street, before heading into Low Yat Plaza, one of the biggest tech malls in Malaysia. If you're into tech or collectibles, this place is genuinely overwhelming in the best way — multiple floors of laptops, GPUs, and shelves of figurines and toys. After lunch (a Damascus shawarma that lived up to the hype) and fries from a local spot, I made my way to Masjid Sultan Abdullah — hands down one of the most beautifully designed mosques I've seen in Malaysia, with a lush courtyard, fountains, and incredible modern architecture. From there it was down to Petaling Street and Chinatown, past the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, and into Merdeka Square for the evening fountain show. I wrapped up the day back at Jalan Alor at night — a completely different atmosphere from the daytime — trying local street food and, finally, working up the courage to try durian for the very first time. If you're planning a trip to Kuala Lumpur, or just enjoy travel vlogs that go beyond the typical tourist checklist, this one's for you. This is Day 3 of my Malaysia trip series — check out Day 2 for Thean Hou Temple and the Diwali celebrations, and subscribe to follow the rest of the trip. #Malaysia #KualaLumpur #BukitBintang #TravelVlog #Durian
