Question: Entertain me in KL!

[malaysia filter] I'll probably be in Kuala Lumpur at the end of the month for about 3 days. I'm looking for something fun to do that I might not have done having been there before. There's This will be my 4th trip to KL in the last 3 years, and my last trip was only about 3 months ago. This trip is unusally short, but I'd still like to make the most of it. I'll be arriving in KL on a weekday afternoon, and have to work on the Thursday and Friday during the day. That leaves the nights free, and part of the weekend. I have to get back home (8hr flight) on the Monday night at the latest. Any interesting things I may have missed in my previous KL ventures? Any must-do side trips or other recommendations?

I spent ages researching before my last 3 week trip to KL, but most things appear to be targeted at people making more than just a fleeting visit. As a guide, I've done way too much shopping and seen most of the sights of KLCC in previous visits (which could be fun again!). I'm staying near KLCC.

Some suggestions from my friend who lives in KL:

* The KL Tower, walking through the nearby forest track (Bukit Nanas forest reserve)
* Plenty of clubbing - neither of us are much for the nightlife though, so I wouldn't know
* The StarHill Gallery has a Chinese Painting exhibit now
* Bungee jumping?
* Going to Mines Wonderland to see the Cheng Ho exhibit
* Go UP the KLCC tower!
* Amusement parks in Sunway Lagoon and Berjaya Times Square (indoor rollercoaster!)

I lived in KL myself for a while, and I suggest wandering around the outskirts - Petaling Jaya, Bangsar, and so on. Plenty to see and do (though heavy on the shopping side). Also, take this time to explore the food - Malaysian food is the best, I tell you.

She wants me to suggest the following food:

* The mamak stalls at the SS2 foodcourt

* Klang bakuteh (a type of pork soup)

* Wantan mee (noodle soup)
