Today is yours to take on. Walk around and explore, but don't skip trying the national dish of Malaysia, nasi lemak - a traditional rice dish made with coconut milk and pandan leaf. Once the sun sets, see another side to the city as you stop by the famous Petronas Towers (which light up at night) before checking out the local nightlife.

You've got the whole day for exploring. Head out of town to visit the famous Batu Caves or the Orang Asli Museum.

Make sure you don't miss it.              

Day 12 Kuala Lumpur to Melaka

The streets of Chinatown (also known as Jonker Walk) are also lined with Peranakan (Straits Chinese) shophouses offering their traditional cuisine, Nyonya. Explore the many temples, churches, mosques, museums, and forts.
