There was plenty of delicious food, at dirt cheap prices too (compared to the UK).
I certainly enjoyed my trip to Malacca, but there certainly isn't as much to do there as KL. Though I really loved the Malacca style Chinese food - which I didn't see (but is probably available) in KL.
According to DBKL and Tourism Malaysia, the average visitor to KL spends an average of 48 hours in KL before departing for Langkawi, Genting, Penang, Melaka or East Malaysia.
There is a reason whyfforeign visitors don't spend 5/6 or even 7 days in KL, bird parks, bukit kiara and sunway theme park included.
