At the basement level of Pavilion is another spectacular place to see, the famous
Food Republic. This is a high-end food court wherein all the other cuisines can be found. From Indian to Chinese, Vietnamese to Taiwanese, Cantonese to Malaysian, Japanese and Korean as well as Western. You will go crazy on the many choices of food here. There are also restaurants besides the central food court if you want to go for a higher price.
I'm sure all of you know Causeway Bay in Hong Kong, the Orchard Road in Singapore and Myeong Dong in Seoul.... well.... Kuala Lumpur has its own version and it is known as The Bintang Walk located in Bukit Bintang along Jalan Bukit Bintang.
Bukit Bintang is a long stretch of road wherein you will find different shops to suit your need and your style. This area is also known as the shopping and entertainment district of Kuala Lumpur. There are cafes, restaurants and small malls in the area as well. It is jampacked with people during the night and double the density during the weekend (Friday and Saturday night). Young people flood the area as they strut their style and chill in the area. The walk will begin in The Royale Bintang Hotel (the hotel that we stayed in, I will feature another entry for this) and ends in Pavilion. This is a must visit whenever you travel in Kuala Lumpur.
