Whether you’re looking for a fancy pants degustation dinner or a taste of local life from a hawker’s stall, KL is a true foodie’s paradise. Due to its large Indian community, Brickfields is the place to go for good Indian food – and saris! A very handy (and glamorous) addition to the dress up box, no doubt.

2.“Everyone asks where to get KLs best shoes and of course, I’m a little biased – I recommend the Jimmy Choo store in Suria KLCC at the base of the Petronas Towers. Fion Poon in Central Market is also a fab spot for something a little less pricey.”

3. “Cooking is the new black, so if you want to wow your friends at home you can’t beat a Malaysian cooking class at Bayan Indah cooking school – it’s an unforgettable and very worthwhile experience.”

4. “For a night to remember, I take guests to Li Yen at the Ritz Carlton , which is hands down one of Kuala Lumpur’s most stylish and unique restaurants. You must start with a drink in the Ritz’s cosy lounge bar.”

5.“Another watering hole with wow factor is Luna Bar, an ultra chic roof-top bar with an illuminated pool in the centre. You can’t beat the views of the city at night… Just gorgeous.”
