To celebrate Valentine's Day, we decided to go the nontraditional route. Instead of leaving the kids home for some alone time, we decided to have the whole family go downtown for dinner.
So we zipped down to KLCC, the HUGE mall at the base of the Petronas Towers. One of the neat things about getting to KLCC is that we can get there in about 12 minutes from our house -- without encountering a single stoplight. In an engineering feat that brings great joy to me, you can reach the underground parking garage straight from the highway.
There, we enjoyed a great meal at Chili's -- where the kids ate free (with an adult meal), and we had a great view overlooking the large park that is the center of KLCC. You can see the large pond, as well as the wading/swimming area (in the far area) that is free and a fun place for kids to play.
KLCC, as are most of the many malls around KL is incredibly modern. While Tracy stopped in an electronics store to look for a coffee grinder, Rania enjoyed dancing in front of the 103" plasma TV which sells for the price of a small home ($70,000 US).
After dinner, we walked to the largest playground you can imagine -- with play equipment as far as the eye can see -- where our kids enjoyed playing in the shadow of the Petronas towers. Swings, play equipment, slides -- a kids paradise!
