The cultural hub of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is visually defined by the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, which, at 88 stories high, are the tallest twin buildings in the world and a vision of modern architecture. On the flip side, the Sri Mahamariamman is the oldest Hindu temple in Malaysia, its façade a colorful totem pole of iconography. Shopping at the Central Market is a joyful experience that involves haggling, handicrafts, and happiness.

I visited this traditional Malay house and museum during my recent stay in KL and was lucky enough to find this hidden gem amidst the modern high-rises that have been sprouting up all around it. It is definitely worth taking the tour that is offered for a 10 RM donation per person at 11am and 3pm, Monday to Saturday (as of July 2019). The tour guide was amazing and gave a great insight into Malay life and customs and the everyday life and practices of the former inhabitants alongside explaining the different rooms and interiors of this beautifully restored heritage building. If you have time to spare, I would recommend to arrive early and also watch the 20 minute documentary on how the heritage building was saved from decay, relocated, as well as the house and life of its owners reconstructed by the Malay heritage trust that runs the museum and the tours.

Wonderful opportunity to learn about the history of K L with many illustrations and picturesque photos. There was also a sound and light show depicting all the skyscrapers and surrounding areas of K L. Very well organised exhibits and interesting displays of the highest buildings and future skyscrapers in the pipeline. There is also a cafe inside the premises, where you can use your admission ticket to redeem for some Malaysian delicacies such as ice kachang with chendol or sample the famous Musang( King of the durian variety) cake beautifully made in the shape of a green durian with its sharp spikes and centre consists of a sponge base. Very yummy taste.
