Kent's Life....

This last weekend I took a little trip up to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My big homie Ian is from KL, and offered to take me up to his home town for a little R & R. It wasn't my first time to KL, but every time I go its a good one.

We left Friday evening around 5pm to head up to KL, about a 4hr drive from Singapore. Its an easy drive cause its really just a straight shot all the way up. For my NW homies, its similar to the Seattle -> Portland drive. Once we got in we met up with a few of Ian's buddies, whom over time have become my friends as well. We all went out for some food and drinks to catch up...just some good ol' bullshitting over Tiger Beers. Can't beat that.

We capped the night off with some supper....The one thing I really like about KL is the excellent food. Its very similar to Singapore cuisine, but of course each area will add its own twist. So for supper we had the KL style Hokkien Mee...its pronounced like Fucking Mee, and its one of my favorites. Basically its fried noodles, seafood, pork, and black sauce...oh so bomb. Its like Vietnamese Pho, in the since that if you try it once, you will crave it forever. Guaranteed.


..don't let the looks of it fool you.

The next day (Saturday) we decided to take a little mini trip and spend the night at Genting Highlands. Genting Highlands is the original resort casino company of this region...the one in Singapore being the most recent. Since I have been to the Singapore casino so often these days I figured it would be good to check out the Head Quarters. The Highlands are about a 1hr drive out of KL and into the mountains.


Its actually a nice getaway spot cause the mountain scenery is good, and the weather is not so humid at the high altitudes. The other great reason is that its a good place for entertainment. Casinos, Bars, Clubs, Shopping, Theme parks...it has it all.

The short version of my night at Gentings is...Restaurant (dinner) -> Casino (Big winner) -> Bar (drinker) -> Man U (winner) -> Chelsea (loser) -> Hotel room (stunner+dunner)

The mid-lengths is... Went up to Gentings with four dudes looking for a good time...Started out with some curry Chicken dinner, waiter spilled curry on my shirt. All the homies were super stoked about it cause they said it meant I was guaranteed to win...some of the Chinese superstition hype. I didn't buy the hype till I got to the Casino, and seriously couldn't miss....I was seeing the roulette table on some freaky idiot savant shit. Pulled in some winnings and off to the bar, pub, clubs we went!!! Watched Man U score in the 93rd minute with a beautiful header by Scholes to win the Derby, and then watch Defoe and the crew fuck up Chelsea to bring back a chance for the Reds at the EPL title. Next target, Hotspurs.... What a wonderful night.

And there is no long version cause I am lazy....

After the casino and booze I still had some winnings left ready to spend. So I decided to take Ian, family, and friends out to dinner. Of course since I don't know KL quite so well yet I had Ian pick the place. He did a good job cause the food was bomb.my

The place we went to is called Restoran Green View. Apparently its the little local secret, so if you are ever in KL or want to act like you know KL you can name drop the Green View.

Best part of the meal was these crispy prawn noodles or Sang Har Meen. The fresh water prawns are nice and juicy, and the sauce for the noodles is so amazing you know its bad for you...hmmm clogged arteries....



That was my weekend in KL....and the drive back for me was all smiles, I had fulfilled my craving for all the vices....

Loving life in SE Asia, hope one day y'all can join!
