One Week in Beautiful Malaysia with Shangri-La!

One Amazing Holiday Week in Malaysia

We recently came back from a week long trip visiting 3 beautiful Malaysian cities. Penang, Kualua Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu.

We were looking forward most to Penang, to visit my Mom’s hometown and see the new Mural Art that now spices up the streets of George Town. It has transformed this UNESCO colonial heritage site into one of the hippest places around, attracting a new generation from all over Asia. They weren’t spared from the minion craze either!

There was plenty to do in Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu too and I’ll be blogging about these three cities soon. In the mean time check out the highlights video of our time in Malaysia!

Never run out of things to do again

We weren’t as knowledgeable on things to do in Malaysia but lucky we had Shangri-La’s MyEatPlayShop guide to help us. It’s their newly launched destination portal which has identified the best Restaurants, Attractions and Shopping areas in these three cities. You should never have difficulty finding out what to do again!
