KUALA LUMPUR – Nothing beats a picnic to foster closer relations with friends and family. It also promises a fun mealtime, surrounded by the beauty of nature.

The serenity in such a setting is relatively rare for Kuala Lumpur’s urban folk, as the city is a concrete jungle, not a natural one.

However, there are secret little pockets perfect for Muslims looking to break fast after a long day or anyone wanting an early dinner while hidden among the slopes of Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang.

As breaking fast takes place at dusk, the hill affords a breathtaking view of the sunset – making it a scenic location for a romantic outing as well.
