I am Ulyssa Elaine - Travel, Food and Lifestyle Blogger

It's been four years since I posted a blog entry about my first Sunnies Specs purchase. You can find my first post here. Whenever I type "sunnies specs blog review" in Google search, my blog entry is one of the top posts. Thank you so much! 💗


I had a series of comments regarding my specs if it's worth to buy. To be honest, it's really worth it. I worn it in every countries I travelled with: Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea and United States.

Unfortunately, during the lockdown in 2020, the right part of hinge broke while I was watching a Kdrama in my bed. Sorry, my mistake. That's the only problem that I encountered. Here's a sample of illustration:


I had no choice to buy a new specs in Lazada (not in their store) because their branch is a bit far from my place. To cut a long story short, I used the cheaper lens for two years until I felt it unsafe because the metal frame already corroded. By the way, I used alcohol to disinfect my cheaper Lazada specs that's why, my bad.


Fast forward, I had the urge to go back to Sunnies Specs store. Fortunately, there's a new branch near in my place. I went there with my husband to choose for my new specs. I chose Hiro in Blush Steel. It's a round frame just like the first one that I purchased in 2018, Reagan in Rose Gold. The rate is still the same: Php 1,999 for the prescription eyewear + Php 999 for the ScreenSafe.

I had an in-house computerized eye exam first before I payed for my specs.

When I purchased before in 2018, I can claim my prescription eyeglasses within the day. But now in 2022, it took me 2-3 days to claim my specs. It's a bit nuisance for me but well, it's okay. 

I also bought Clean Lens product from them, which costs Php 200. It's a 100ml lens cleaner spray to disinfect my eyeglasses. 

Overall, I'm satisfied with my new specs. 💗

» Overall «

We stayed here from September 2 (dawn) to September 3 (evening) of 2022. I booked our stay from September 1 to 4, 2022 with their promo Family City Break. The nightly stay is not too pricey and I think it's worth it. Imagine after going out from the hotel, you can conveniently access the major malls and restaurants. The location is really perfect. The hotel room is clean and comfortable, too. I do recommend this hotel.

Malaysia is a multi-cultural country and one of the wealthiest country in Southeast Asia. It consists of thirteen states and three federal territories separated by the South China Sea.

Kuala Lumpur is the Malaysia's capital and its largest city. It serves as the country's economic and business hub. 

We've been to Malaysia a couple of times already and it's in Johor Bahru, another Malaysia's southern gem. Thus, this was our first time to visit Kuala Lumpur. This trip was made possible because we celebrated my mom's birthday.


» How To Get There? «


The best way to get to Kuala Lumpur is a direct flight from local or international carriers. We chose Cebu Pacific Air from Manila, Philippines. Travel time from Manila (NAIA Terminal 3) to Kuala Lumpur (Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2) is 4 hours.


» Travel Requirements «

Here are the requirements (as of September 2, 2022) that we prepared prior to our trip:

  • Passport
  • Roundtrip Air Tickets
  • Confirmed Hotel Booking
  • Travel Insurance (not required but we purchased for our safety)
  • Philippine's VaxCert or BOQ Yellow Card (2 doses with booster)



    » How Long To Stay? «


    Technically, we stayed here for 2 days. I suggest to stay here for 3 to 4 days to experience the mix of modernity and Malaysian tradition.




    » Where To Stay? «


    We stayed in Bukit Bintang, which is the most popular and central area in Kuala Lumpur. You can also choose the KLCC, where the Petronas Tower and KL Tower is located.





    » Where To Exchange Currency? «


    We found a money changer inside the Pavilion Mall (Bukit Bintang) with a great exchange rate, Merchantrade. You can check the branch location and exchange rates online thru this link.


    » Things To Do «


    Here are the things that we did on our short trip to Kuala Lumpur:

    • Shop and dine at Pavilion Mall
    • Stroll around KLCC Park

    • Visit Petronas Tower

    • Visit Batu Caves


    • Ride and enjoy KL Hop-on Hop-off Bus
    • Visit Istana Negara (National Palace)
