MALAYSIA
Avoid spending masses of time in KL, two days tops will cover it.Spend loads of time visiting other places:
You can catch a ferry from Tanah Merah in S'pore to take you to Tioman island which is beautiful and the diving is awesome.
Go to the Cameron Highlands to see tea plantations and v lovely scenery and Genting if a bit of gambling floats your boat.
We stayed at Pangkor Laut on the W coast of the penninsula in April. It was fabulous. Note diving / snorkelling = less impressive on the W coast.
Go to Langkawi and avoid Penang.
SINGAPORE
Must do's:
- Visit the night safari
- Eat at hawker centres (Lau Pa Sat is good and tourist friendly, Newton Circus if you feel more adventurous
- Visit the musical fountains at Sentosa (at night)
- Visit the botanical gardens and consider eating at the restaurant 'Halia' (you won't regret it)
- Chinatown, Little India and Arab Street are interesting
- Visit Fort Canning Park
- Visit Merlion Park
- If you like architecture go see the theatres on the bay at the Esplanade
- Eat chilli crab at a hawker centre (Ang Mo Kio has a good one though I can't remmeber where!)
