7. Chocolate like never before
waiter at the entrance to the ‘‘dark room’’ and, with incredible precision, you’ll be led to your chair. The waiters are all visually impaired, and have the floor plan mapped in their head. They use the odd clap or click of the fingers to make sure they don’t bump into each other. You really can’t see a thing, meaning the plates need to be brought right up to your mouth to ensure it all goes in – but don’t worry, if you spill something, nobody will know! Part of the fun is guessing what you’re eating, and the chefs deliberately play with your mind by changing textures and tastes. Sweetcorn icecream anyone?
6. The coolest mall on Earth
Your local Westfield mall will never be the same after seeing a rollercoaster, complete with a loop, weave through the heart of a 10-storey mall.
Berjaya Times Square has 13 rides as part of the theme park, which will keep the kids entertained for hours – just as well, because there are more than 1000 shops in the mall.
You’ll no doubt burn some serious calories walking around 1000 shops – which means you deserve chocolate.
The best chocolate dish in Kuala Lumpur is arguably the ‘‘texture of chocolate’’ at Skillet @163.
It’s a milk chocolate sphere filled with white chocolate ‘‘rocks’’ that pop like a volcano when dry ice is poured over them.
Once the dessert is frozen, smash it open with a hammer, then warm it back up by smothering it with a jug full of warm, melted chocolate. Last year Brook Sabin and his partner Radha Engling quit their jobs and sold everything to travel. Each week Kiwis in Flight takes you on their adventures. See
