Whenever an international star visits Malaysia, it’s no surprise they’ll check out some local tourist spots and indulge in our cuisine. Recently, a lucky fan spotted Chinese idol Lay Zhang (张艺兴) casually dining at Jalan Alor before his big show.
If you didn’t know, the singer is in town to perform at his solo concert in the Mega Star Arena tonight (10th July, Wednesday). However, it looks like the star is taking all the opportunities he has to enjoy himself while he’s in town. A fan recently shared photos of Lay dining at the popular tourist destination Jalan Alor with some staff members. According to the post, the singer and his team were dining at the Grand Sky restaurant in Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang.
The singer, whose full name is Zhang Yixing, also posed for a photo with his fans. Many local fans have reacted to the post, showing amusement at Lay casually dining at a restaurant. Some also noted that the star seemed so lowkey, joking that they’d easily mistaken him for a local if they didn’t know who he was. Others poked fun at him, saying it was so Malaysian of him to lepak (hang out) at a regular restaurant.
Besides dining at Jalan Alor, fans also noted that Lay has been actively sharing about his KL trip online. Upon reaching his hotel, the singer posted the welcome spread prepared by the hotel and his concert organiser, InTour Live. He also excitedly shared a photo of his advertisement billboard that he spotted in Bukit Bintang, cheekily captioning it with “Hello Abang Lay (Hello brother Lay)”. Funnily enough, some fans also brought up the puzzling coincidence that it always rains when an EXO member is in town since it also poured the last time the 33-year-old was here.
While it may rain cats and dogs, nothing will stop Lay and XBACKs excitement for tonight’s show. We wish the singer a smooth performance and hope his fans enjoy themselves!
