MS has given good pointers for interesting places for your family. Just to add, you can pay a visit to KLCC and check out the shopping mall, the twin towers and the outdoor water playground.
4) humble? In what way? I've been to Da Lat and found it absolutely horrendously boring behind all possible belief and what of the biggest "suck the tourist's money" traps of anywhere in Vietnam.
Oh? Not sure what did you do there but I went around the farms, forests and the hillside area riding pillion on a Honda Star. The town is a sad case, actually. It was the views of the flowers, farms etc that I was comparing Cameron to Dalat.
5) Never heard, will research...
I can only rave about Ipoh for foodIt is well-known for Cantonese food, just for you to know.

6) Also on the list, but not sure if I'd fly or drive!
If you drive based on MS's estimation, you will arrive Penang twice the time to KL (8 to 9 hours, depending on break). Flight will take you about 1 hour 15 min.
You may wanna drive because public transportation in Malaysia is poor. If you can lose your head going around in MRT/buses here, you will lose your soul there. Parking is also another inconvenience actually but taxis won't help you either (they still try to skip using the meter). Just be a devil when you drive in Malaysia.
Another option is to take a flight and rent a car.
7) Will research.
For Tesco.... I hear this is basically like Costco? I'll passI can't imagine how terrible that place is to shop at, considering how bad somewhere like Isetan is when they have a 4% off sale.
Have you been to Giant in IMM here? Then imagine all Tesco outlets in Malaysia two notch lower...
I've also been preemptively warned that the "Outlet" mall in JB is huge scam and nothing like the ones in the US, so I'll also avoid that!

Yeah, for Da Lat I went with my wife two years ago... We didn't have a car, but a taxi drive quickly offered to "take us everywhere" for about US $40. He took us to every tourist trap within 30 minutes, and it seemed to be a set standard itinerary most tourists were put on. The flowers and such were OK... Did the elephant ride and all of that stuff. I think the most fun I had was the night market and buying the snake wine for about $5 when it cost $60 in Hanoithe lynx wrote:zzm9980 wrote:1) This is what my initial searchs brought me too, sounds like fun for a night.

On a CRV max due to speedometer limitation , I did about 180 km per hrecureilx wrote:Who me ??Mad Scientist wrote:To be fair to chipmunk, ...
Well, did you drive a Honda Stream MPV ?
I was once on the NS-Highway, in a friend's Cayenne Turbo, and my friend thought he was doing great, at more than 150 plus, when he was overtaken by a Singapore plate Stream - that guy must have been doing close to 180 .. I wonder if it was you .. That was close to 2 AM ...
I always wondered what was the max speed in a Stream ..
