I snuck away for two weeks, and just spent a week in KL. I have been to KL on business before, but never extended for long enough to get a feel for the place. Im in Vietnam now and I have 5 days in Nah Trang before 2 days in Saigon.
7 days is never long enough to provide much detail, so see this as a small review that provides an overview of the place without providing the kind of detail an extended run would provide.
Kuala Lumpur experience:
First two nights I was there I was with associates and clients. I was taken to Hard Rock Cafe, Thai Club and Beach Bar. What a load of shit, its wall to wall hookers. Some real belters, but I cant believe men would pay money to fuck some of those tired women. Some really nasty stuff about. These situations always put me into a difficult position, because whoring is a way of life for expats in Asia. And for local men with money, its like going for a piss in the morning. So I am stuck in these places surrounded by women who are all looking to get paid. I never want to insult or judge and nor do I, but at the same time Im saving the hookers for when I am older and cant pull the younger tail. So I sit there drinking, and the people I am with wondering if I would not prefer to spend some time with a ladyboy instead
3 of my boys arrived after that, and its mostly a golfing a trip across KL and Vietnam. With them around now, nightlife is more in line with what I am looking for.
These bars I mention are all concentrated in the same street though and very close together, so its in KL's "golden triangle" so to speak. There are a few other venue options there, but once I was done with the first two nights I did not bother going back. The restaurants are also mostly western, so if you are looking for local food, its not easy to find many options.
I went into Chinatown one night and that was not for me. Cheap and nasty with zero talent. We went to a few bars, but it ended up being an early night and I found it a shithole.
Bukit Bintang was a different story. Tons of restaurants and bars and some pretty decent nightlife. If you are going to go to KL, I would suggest you focus your efforts in this area. When I go back from now on this is where Ill spend most of my time. There are tons of small, nameless bars and restaurants but they are all pretty decent and they tend to pack out at night
Chicks wise its a really mixed bag. The local Malay women are Muslim, so the chances there very slim. You wont even see them out. There are a lot of Thai and Vietnamese women, but I have a strong suspicion that many are working girls. The Chinese Malay are a different story, but looks wise I found them the weakest of the women from SE Asia.
In 7 days there, I completely struck out. The first two days were a write off, and on the third I was in China Town which is a hole. So I had 4 days in Bukit Bintang, two of which I managed to spend a bit of time with a knockout Iranian chick, but I could not convert. She was not going to bang quickly and I simply ran out of time. The other two days I was too hammered, although did manage to get a drink thrown all over me when I asked two fat British slags how they managed to evade the whaling boats on their way in from Japan when they were trying to chat up one of my mates. Western women always stick out given the size of them, but next to these little asian women, they stick out like a sore thumb.
Women wise, based on what I have seen, your best options are tourists in KL, of which there are plenty. Locals, the Chinese Malay seem the most approachable and easy to get out, but thats not based on any success on my part. There is a large Indian, Arab and Persian contingent from what I can see, it seems like the Persians and Arabs are pretty much loaded in these parts.
All up, will always be a good city, but I think you need a lot of time here. Its also very expensive by Asian standards, and I found myself paying a lot for booze. At $7-$8 for a pint of beer, I felt like I was drinking at home.
If its pussy you are after, I would consider avoiding KL unless you had a fair chunk of time here to get a decent lay of the land.
