I would personally suggest the small but well-curated Islamic Arts Museum, the slightly out-of-the-way Thean Hou temple, a hot and sticky trip to Batu Caves, and a visit to the KL Bird Park.

If you've never been to the site before, have a look at KL/Klang Valley section of http://eatingasia.typepad.com/ - there are some real local nuggets there.

It's a fascinating metropolis - an ideal halfway house that combines the trendy tropical cosmopolitanism of Singapore with the exciting rough-round-the-edges urban vibe of Bangkok. The biggest issue in KL/Klang Valley is transport!
