LUNA BAR

If you want a place with great views for drinks or dinner, try the Luna Bar. I didn’t eat there, but I did lounge around on both floors of the bar. At 34 stories up it’s almost the same view as from the Petronas, but from here you can see one of the towers – a much nicer sight. The only problem is that you only see one of the towers. Visitors come here for the view and the atmosphere, because service is slow, the mixed drinks don’t taste too good, and it’s much more expensive than most places (drinks start at 20 RM [$5]). But I highly recommend it, especially if you can score a romantic windowside niche – you’re set for the night. On weekends after 9:30 p.m., expect to pay a 50 RM ($14) cover charge (it includes a drink). I told you Malaysia was inexpensive! Luna Bar, Menara PanGlobal 34F, Jalan Punchak (off Jl P. Ramlee), tel.: 60-3-2026-2211. VIDEOHere’s a 2-minute Johnny Jet Video of my trip to Kuala Lumpur (including my flight over). It's on YouTube, so it only takes a few seconds to load (though the quality is not crisp). All JohnnyJet Videos ever made are on their servers as well.
