Spending a few hours in Kuala Lumpur

We landed in KL around 3pm and our flight to Chiang Mai is only tomorrow morning. Thus we had an evening to spend in the city.
To occupy ourselves we creatively went to the nearby shopping center and found a massage salon. To give context, the last 2 hours of the flight were spent thinking about a good foot massage to release the tensions from the flight.
We enjoyed 45min of foot reflexology and 10min of neck and shoulder massage. The latter turned out painful. Seems I have some tenses muscles in need of relaxation.
Fully relaxed from the flight we went to Jalan Alor for dinner. We selected one of the restaurants on the street and treated ourselves with chicken satay, beans, lemon chicken and grilled chicken fish. No idea what species that fish was but it was prepared with cumin and was extremely good. That's one of the things I like in Asia: every now and then out of pure luck you get to discover fantastic dishes.
To conclude the day Alice went for leeches and I for mango ice cream.
If that's not a great way to start vacation :)
