1 Utama Shopping Centre

I decided to visit 1 Utama Shopping Centre ; which is Malaysia largest shopping mall.  The mall is located at Bandar Utama City Centre which is quite a distance from Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

As usual, I took the MRT train to Bandar Utama MRT station. Now there is a connecting walkway from the Bandar Utama MRT station to 1 Utama Shopping Centre. It is a long walkway with left and right turn. It seems complicated but if you follow the directions given, you will be able to reach the mall easily.

One interesting thing is that you have to pass through the One World hotel lobby before reaching 1 Utama Shoppping Centre. If you lost your direction in the hotel lobby; just seek help from the staff at the hotel. They will direct you to the shopping mall.

The 1 Utama Shopping Centre is a huge mall. I had spend about 3 hours walking around the mall and yet had not completed browsing through the entire mall.  The mall has 6 retail levels and it has everything you need – many many shops, supermarket, cinemas, food outlets, specialty stores and even a roof top garden.

The wonderful thing about this mall is that there are plenty of bench and seats available. You need to rest your tired feet after all the walking. My impression of this place is that there is so much to see and do but have limited time. I am contemplating of staying in One World hotel for 1 or 2 nights so that I can able to window shop at this mall in a leisurely manner.

Indian Food near KL Sentral

I was in KL Sentral and was looking for a Indian food restaurant to relax and have a meal. So I walked around Brickfields and saw a Indian restaurant that was quite crowded during the afternoon.

ABC One Bistro Menu

The name of the restaurant was ABC One Bistro which was rather unique for an Indian restaurant. Anyway I placed my order – Roti Canai ( also known as Roti prata ) with egg, Roti Canai with onions, Mee Goreng with mutton add on and Masala tea.

If you are not too sure about what to order, there is a menu for you to browse.  And the staff there are helpful in explaining the food items if you have doubts. Overall, the ABC One Bistro restaurant was very spacious and comfortable.

Roti Prata / Roti Canai

My food review was – the Roti Canai ( Roti Prata ) was very well done and delicious.  It was served hot and crispy and the curry gravy was wonderful.  The Mee Goreng was good but was too spicy for me. There were many chunks of mutton in the Mee Goreng which I enjoyed eating.  The Masala tea was milky and at the same time I could taste and smell herbs in it.

The price of food items at this ABC One Bistro were very reasonable. I couldn’t remember how much I paid for the meal; but it was certainly very affordable. I will go to this restaurant again when I am back in KL Sentral – as there are many Indian food items  in the menu which I want to try it out.
