Cultural HistoryBuilt in 1909, Jamek Mosque - better known as Masjid Jamek among the locals - is the oldest mosque in the city. The mosque sits at the meeting point of the Klang and Gombak rivers, which is also the birthplace of Kuala Lumpur.
Its architecture is inspired by Mogul influences of northern India. In 1965, it was officially declared as the National Mosque. Today, there is a new National Mosque not far away, but Jamek Mosque remains important due to its strategic location in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. |
Food & DiningHave you ever had a moment where you suddenly crave for something in the midst of your busy schedule? That craving is so intense that you can only satisfy it IF and only IF you have a taste of it. What is this all about? Laksa. Yes, the ever famous legendary laksa from Penang. Citizens from all over the country drive miles and miles to Penang to have a bowl of this spicy noodles with a strong fishy aroma (which may somehow smell bad to certain people). Nevertheless, Penang has the best to offer to those laksa fans and even those who do not really enjoy it. It will change your life!
