EAT
Fishee holds a closely-guarded family secret of baking bread, and their fluffy, fragrant home-made offering is beyond measure. Look out for the Carbonara Spaghetti Bowl, an endearing combination between chicken spaghetti and a bowl made from bread! This is one dish you should not miss.
Much like its namesake, The Owls Cafe is adorned with adorable porcelain owl figures. The crown jewel goes to Rebecca, a fluffy waffle topped with homemade Earl Grey ice cream, fresh strawberries and bananas.
Where dance meets food, The Munching Mob studio cafe offers sweet-toothed visitors a wicked assortment of pancakes and waffles that will keep you wanting. Garnished with coconut flakes and a side of caramelised banana, the Loco Local is a formidable dessert for a satisfying finishing.
Those fond of Japanese animated fantasy film My Neighbour Totoro and cute plushies will enjoy soaking up the ambience of this place; best done over a special cup of Cold Brew and a plate of Three Cups Chicken Pasta, a savoury dish made from the union of Taiwanese spice and Italian style.
DRINK
The first French Palace themed cafe in Malaysia, Ame Soeur brings the concept of highend dining at a reasonable price. The finely brewed Belgium coffee, fragrant rose latte or a refreshing cup of raspberry tea will slake your thirst while you explore the attractions of Bukit Jalil.
PLAY
Proud parents to active children at Bukit Jalil are also ardent believers of physical prowess. Not wanting to let their children turn into couch potatoes, most of them are tempering their young in the fire and discipline of paintball combat. Xtion Paintball provides a safe environment for youngsters to explore their competitive side.
LEARN
The sporting spirit continues to burn strongly in the people of Bukit Jalil although the Commonwealth Games ended two decades ago. The Bukit Jalil Sports School, the first sports school in the country, is churning out new generations of Malaysian athletes to compete at the international level.
BOND
During the late afternoon, the young and old can be seen jogging, walking or participating in group exercises like tai chi and yoga at the 80-acre Bukit Jalil Recreational Park. A healthy time of cardio exercise also contributes to family bonding while, together, they watch the sun set in the horizon.
