Kuala Lumpur ea Bobeli - Malaysia

Batu Caves and the Clash of Cultures

We also visited the famous Batu Caves and had a lot of fun with the monkeys living there. We bought bananas to feed the monkeys and watched them in their daily activities.

The monkeys were actually quite nice, but occasionally they attacked tourists, for example, when they wanted to steal their cell phones. I think the Batu Case is only worth seeing from above with a drone, as that's where its full splendor is shown.

After this short trip, we made our way to Little India, the Indian quarter of the Malaysian capital. Malaysia was once part of the British Kingdom, so many Indians were attracted here through slavery.

We wanted to have real Indian food for the first time and chose a small but fine restaurant. The special thing here was that we should eat with our hands. It was the first time for us that we had to eat with our hands, which was initially quite suspicious but actually worked quite well. Unfortunately, the food was extremely spicy, which limited our love for the dish, in my opinion. After this meal, we made our way to Thean Hou Temple, which revealed its full beauty at night.

Around Merdeka, we then went in search of a third impression, the Chinese side of Kuala Lumpur. The Chinese population is also very pronounced here, with a small Chinatown where we wanted to eat traditional Chinese food.

After a short stroll through the market, we found a small street food shop where we ate a strange dish. It was a kind of rice pan cooked in a clay pot, unfortunately, the food tasted very burnt and was not to our liking.

Near Chinatown is also the second tallest building in the world, which soars 678 meters into the sky.

In the evening, we strolled through a street food market and tried some specialties! Frog and pigeon were the tastiest and at the same time more unusual delicacies.
