Fun and entertainment Malaysia

Like all Bukit Bintang bars, it's also possible to dine here. But we prefer to come here for a glass of wine or a cold beer, accompanied by a few well-crafted tapas, as in Spain. This address is one of the city center's great classics, and it's sometimes hard to find a table here on weekend evenings. The atmosphere is lively and the waiters will greet you with an ola. Beware, the long list of tempting tapas, from jamon to patatas bravas, can quickly run up the bill.

If you want to dance or sit at the bar in an overheated atmosphere, there's no better place than Sunba. The room isn't very big, and it's easy to find yourself pressed up against each other in high season. The atmosphere is all the better for it. The setting is inspired by pre-war Malayan wooden houses, with raw wood featured throughout. Pool tables, live music and a DJ who spins the decks until the wee hours of the night keep things lively. The music draws on an international repertoire from the 1960s to the 1980s.

This elegant, trendy bar is housed in a former shophouse in Chinatown. Gone are the chinoiseries, replaced by a sober, modern setting. The atmosphere is warmed by a clever play of colored lighting. We come here to drink a cocktail skilfully prepared by a mixologist. The Jungle Bird is the signature cocktail, invented here: amber rum, Campari and fresh pineapple. It's served with a bouquet of fresh mint and edible flowers. But you can also opt for a Moscow Mule, served in a copper tumbler... in moderation.

You wouldn't think of coming to Asia without stopping off at a karaoke "kelab", would you? Rest assured, this club is aimed at true amateurs who want to have a good time with friends. You won't have the opportunity to introduce Johnny Hallyday's repertoire to Malaysians stunned by the rock power of our national star. The principle is simple: you rent a soundproof room for a set period of time and are given a catalog to choose the songs that inspire you. You can also dine and play billiards.

Fancy going for a drink outside, while enjoying a breathtaking view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline? Not so obvious. But this former heliport converted into a rooftop bar offers a most original setting and, above all, a 360-degree view of the capital and the Menara Tower opposite. It's the perfect place to admire the sunset and wait for the stars to come out. Remember to arrive early (access to the rooftop becomes chargeable after 9pm) and, for gentlemen, proper evening dress is required (no flip-flops or shorts).

MaTiC is housed in a colonial building that is both an architectural and historical monument. Built in 1935, the main building served as the residence of a wealthy mining and rubber magnate. Opened to the public in 1989, MaTiC offers a wide range of facilities and services to help tourists plan their trip to Malaysia. A variety of shows and cultural demonstrations allow visitors to discover the essence of Malaysia within the complex.

Housed in a beautiful historic building in the city, the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre is a non-profit society founded in 2005, which aims to nurture and support Malaysian artists and performances. The KLPac Symphony Orchestra is in residence here. Depending on the program, you can see a variety of shows: theater, pop concerts, symphony concerts, dance performances, traditional shows...
