From our hotel at Capitol, we can reach Jalan Bukit Bintang by foot within 3 minutes. Jalan Bukit Bintang is famous as a major shopping area within the Golden Triangle vicinity bordered by Jalan Bukit Bintang,Jalan Imbi and Jalan Sultan Ismail.The major shopping malls that are located here are Starhill Gallery, Sungei Wang Plaza Lot 10,Low Yat Plaza Imbi Plaza and Berjaya Times Square.
These giant shopping malls are within walking distance of each other and offer a variety of shopping and leisure choices to choose from to fit one's budget and taste. This shopping district is strategically located within the vicinity of different categories of hotels from 2 star to 5 star. If you want to look at lower to medium range retail shops in Bukit Bintang, then you head to Sungei Wang Plaza, Berjaya Times Square, Low Yat Plaza etc. Higher end will be at Starhill and Pavillion Shopping Malls in the Bukit Bintang area.
We find in our opinion that for shopping in general, nothing quite comes close to Singapore if you want to consider pricing, quality and variety together. There must be a reason why the Japanese, Chinese, Indians and Koreans come to Singapore to shop besides getting brand labels. Shopping overseas is more of looking for opportune buys or unique items that could not be found in Singapore or is reasonably much cheaper overseas. So it was KL that we went window shopping for most part and did come away with cheaper buys on occasions.

(Above)Shopper's paradise - Pavillion shopping mall. We were really admiring the aprtments on top of shoping mall. A 2 bedroom about 1500 sq feet costs only about just under $1 million SGD which is a steal since you cant get such prices at Orchard Rd in Singapore.

(Above)On occasions you can find cheaper quality buys like the sporty Addidas dry fit T-shirt($35SGD) and Calvin Klein cotton T-shirt($40SGD)which Eugin bought. 2nd Week of June is the start of their Great Sale, something like our Great SIngapore Sale so that is a good time to look for buys there.
(Above) Another good buy - Chanel make up powder retailing at 30% cheaper at Pavillion.
(Above)2 interesting wall clocks that we bought for a steal and would not look out of place in Molecule. The clocks are now displayed in our master bedroom and kitchen. The dropped numbers face clock for $13SGD and the Red and Black numeral cut out clock for $20SGD.
