This review is from: Lonely Planet Kuala Lumpur Melaka & Penang (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Regional Travel Guide) (Paperback)

I purchased this guide and the DK Eyewitness Malaysia/Singapore guide about a month before I went on my trip to KL. I just returned last night after spending a week there.

Let me just say that the LP guide is awesome! It is packed full of all the info you could possibly want to know and it also includes maps of the different areas of KL as well as transit maps. It describes in detail the different things to do in KL, where to stay(as well as phone numbers) and where to eat.

A lot of restaurants in KL don't give many details on their menus so you're not always sure what exactly you're eating, but this KL guide includes a food glossary so you can quickly look up most foods. I found it very helpful because I have issues with trying to eat something when I have no clue what it is, even if it is delicious.

As far as shopping, it did include information on all the major shopping areas in KL.

I carried this guide with me everywhere I went. I used this book a whole lot more than my DK guide, but I would still buy both. If you're planning a trip to KL, I wholeheartedly recommend this guide!
