Ah finally. Not nasi lemak wanjo haha. Someone has been doing a good research no matter how foreign it is to them. I think a lot of people who watch this video appreciate this so much.
Sambal sotong is usually made from dried squid. They make it soft again with kapur. Beef lungs are usually boiled first and fried according to different dryness. Nasi padang usually is on the dryer side. Btw Malaysian food is really by word of mouth. They don't use the internet to promote but their shops will still have long lines. So make friends accordingly. Because of halal, Malay people will have a whole different world of food runs. Some superbike groups just run around Malaysia on weekend rides to a food spot. Different states has different food. Because each have different relationships to the outside world in the 1800s. Example Mee. States under Siam pre WW2 has rice Mee. States under English has wheat Mee. Also local economies make the state have different ingredients they do well. Like terengganu and Sabah, there are alot of fishermen. So their cuisine for sea fish is on a different quality compared to towns like penang or kl which had to import their fish. I've seen fish on a road side shop in terengganu where the fish are so fresh, the scales still have the rainbow colours on it as like when the fish was still alive. You've come right time as the eastern peninsular monsun just ended. You can travel from the south to the north by beach route to sample their cuisines and holiday resorts, as they close during monsun season. Chinese food also differentiate from each state because of the majority of them come from different places from china. Some from fujian, some from hailam, some teochew. Malaysian Chinese are also diverse. Indian food also has the same nuance. Some places are more southern Indian, some are more northern Indian, while the real mamaks are more a Malaysianised because they have been here more than 200 years like in kelantan. The Chinese there have integrated budu into their cuisine. So kelantanese Chinese food isn't the same with Chinese food from other places.
So glad you guys visited a different nasi lemak place to all the other recent You Tubers. Nasi lemak is everywhere by the way so you can have it every day if you like it! Maybe try a simple packet one also - the "packet" is a banana leaf in which the rice and sambal is wrapped. Looking forward to seeing more of your Malaysia content!
Nasi lemak kenyatannya adalah Makanan Budaya Lokal Asli Nusantara Indonesia yang dahulunya bernama *Nasi Uduk/Gurih* yang dibawa orang Indonesia hijrah ke Malasia dan diubah orang malasia menjadi nasi lemak. Sehingga Kita menemukan Banyaknya makanan Indonesia Nusantara lokal disana mulai Rendang,, seperti Kita lihat tadi Sotong,, Sotong Juga ada di Indonesia ,, Sate ,, dan Masih banyak lagi lainnya. 🥰🇮🇩🔥👍🏾
Do you at any point eat banana leaves? I know you guys eat way more greens and seemingly are weeds in Usa. Im learning now about green things we omit yet other countries eat. As long as its not bitter coz i cant stand bitter. I know it helps many ways but im a supertaster-highly sensitive to all flavors. If i eat bitter i cant taste anything for 3 days as it stays on my tongue and ruins all flavors. And chilis, they annihilate my tongue too. I can handle Thai curries-strange-but the heat dissipates on my tongue. Love almost all ASIAN foods, Indonesia, Malaysia etc. thank you for answering! Blessings of LOVE 🙏🏻❤️
This is a breath of fresh stuff! Lately it was always Wanjo in Kampung Bahru that was featured in many YT channel, but knowing you went to my favourite nasi lemak place in Greenwood, is quite awesome!
As many already mentioned, thank god it's not "Wanjo Nasi Lemak", Nothing against it but seems like all the foreign youtuber tourists go there. I kinda get it though since it's accessible and right in the city but it's great that u guys went elsewhere!!! Edit: Enjoy your stay here! And don't forget if there's anything u are confused about just ask locals on the street. More than likely, they speak english and always willing to help u. If u somehow meet a rude local, that means u have really2 bad luck lol. And if they don't speak a word of english (esp in he city). they are likely not Malaysian. Just saying :)
There's still much to be explored, even in the heart of KL alone. You guys should try going to Jalan Alor for dinner(after 7pm) and Kampung Baru for local Malay dishes such as Nasi Lemak and Nasi Campur for breakfast or lunch. Enjoy!✌️
@@FloraandNote Jln Alor is a tourist trap but if you really have to eat there, i'd suggest you head to Wong ah Wah restaurant which is well-known for its grilled chicken wings
@@FloraandNote Since you guys did a crowd-pleaser and veered away from the oft-featured Wanjo, I'd throw a vote in for either ICC Pudu or the night hawker version of Pudu (as an alternative to the over-exposed Jalan Alor) plus it has a moniker that Flora might appreciate 😁; but it's less photogenic though 😔
Excellent video! I love your music choice, cinematography and drone shots. The food looks amazing! The batu caves are gorgeous! I look forward to more of this series. Much love from Canada!
The Nasi Lemak looks so delicious and well made. I'm really enjoying this Malaysia series. Flora and Note you are getting more views on you're RU-vid videos, the reason I know this is because I been a subscriber since day one. Also I pay attention to the views and likes on you're channel. I super love and support you both Flora and Note.
Hi I’m so happy you are at Taman Greenwood, that’s my hometown during childhood ❤️❤️❤️Happy CNY, hope you both have a great trip in Malaysia. Take Care
The concrete stairs to the Batu Caves were built in 1940, unpainted and in 2 columns only. They replaced the wooden ones that were built in 1920. Then there were the 3 columns of stairs that were painted red and white. In 2018, these became the 4-column multicolor stairs that we see today. Now that they are repainting, I wonder if they will paint back the same colors?
Hi Flora and Note! We are planning to come to Thailand in March. After this video we will make a stop to Malaysia thanks to you both! We are so excited. Thank you!❤
Wow! So cool to see y’all visit Malaysia! I went on my study abroad in 2012-2013 to Singapore and Malaysia. We made a stop at Batu Cave and I’m so excited to see y’all go there! If I remember correctly, there were more stairs once you got to the top of the first set of stairs. There was a pretty cool view if you go up the stairs inside the cave.
You guys are great. Have you all considered filming documentaries as well? The reason I ask is because your videos flow so well to the point where I’m never conscious of the time… that’s because the two of you are so exciting! If I become a content creator and have videos that are half as exciting I’ll be alright. 😂
Love how u guys explaining about the food taste. Not just saying the food is good, delicious, spicy..but u guys break it down, talk about the texture and try to figure out the ingredients that might be put inside the dishes..
Hi you two, greetings from YYC. Very much enjoyed your visit to the caves and prior to that the incredible food you sampled. I only wish if I could taste!! On another note ( no pun intended). Scanning through the channels came across 2 Passports1Dream, appears you guys connected. So nice that Vlogers have such a nice community. Just wanted to comment. As always enjoy your travels, until the next. Thank you!!
Finally a non-Wanjo nasi lemak video... I like Wanjo but nearly every RU-vidr covers them... I've been to this nasi lemak in Greenwood, they are good too
Nasi lemak adalah makanan yang sihat kerana dimasak oleh lemak tumbuhan yang segar dan sihat serta sedikit timun,kacang,ikan bilis dan sambal serta tambahan rendang ayam atau daging
you made me hungry.. Note's finger trick is good to have.. nice to see you happy and yes, nice to see spontanious, natural help from people around food court❤ .. so friendly
If you like caves, Ipoh is the best place to stop by, Gua Tempurung is the best cave in the region & opt for the full tour, Kek Lok Tong is a beautiful cave with that is free to visit and has many interesting feautures. Food is the no.1 reason why people do come to Ipoh. Here are my reccomendations, 1. Yee Fatt Dry Curry Noodles 2. Restoran Rajes 3. Aun Kheng Lim Salted Chicken 4. Tong Sui Kai
Congratz Flora and Note's channel has grown expeditiously with infinite dedication and perseverance. The sky is the limit. Have a Happy and Safe Lunar New Year, Gung hay fak Choy!😁
Fantastic - Nasi Lemak 😋 yum - when I went to Batu caves , as well as lots of monkeys - there were quite a few chickens up the top , as you mentioned it’s quite a significant place for locals to visit - enjoyed 😃👋👌👍🙏
Wow! This is a very local nasi lemak stall (Nasi Lemak Ujang Corner) that tourists will come to and you guys have set foot here..very local & viewer will love this kind of video..go local & you will know better about Malaysia..hope you guys enjoy here & stay safe ya..
Wanjo is overrated! Much more true gems to discover by RU-vid, Right in front of pasar gombak area, greenwood area, gombak mostly ! I don't say the shop name because I say wanjo overrated then if I said the gombak shop name , they think I'm promoting it and condemning wanjo, but hell no, it's a fact . Accept the moment of truth
I think many here suggested Nasi Lemak Wanjo in Kampung Baru because its one of `good standard' Nasi lemak. Sometimes the `newcomer' just randomly jump to the first/nearest nasi lemak's vendor they see thus having not the right taste of nasi lemak specially the sambal. For other nasi lemak place, if its suggested by the local, usually its no doubt that it will always a good one! Enjoy guys!
The squid is delicious because the secret behind it is they don’t use fresh squid to cook it.. they use dried squid so it gives it a beautiful texture it’s chewy and soft.. and the lungs ( paru ) is the best when it’s still hot.. it’s gonna be crispy very well taste with that spicy chillies gravy sauce
Nasi lemak with teh tarik is my all time favorite. Hope to check out that nasi lemak place someday. You captured Batu caves beautifully through your drone

The first dishes of food you tried looked so tasty. And the squid was very tender. I tried squid in thailand but it was very tough and difficult to chew. Cant wait for your next video.
One people forgot the thing what make nasi lemak good is they put nasi lemak above banana leaf . There something about it that make nasi lemak pop. Some popular nasi lemak shop they doesn't use banana leaf that put me off. Just my taste , not the same with other
10:24 Wow I'm a local and those are the two only drinks I'd buy when I go to the convenience store..It's either Seasons Ice Lemon Tea or 100Plus. What a ooincidence!!!!
The reason about the colour I heard was with local gov law and unesco. When they painted it rainbow colour, no permission was obtained, so it is against the law.
If you need recommendation on places to eat, just let me know. But yea, its the CNY week, most chinese shops in general are closed during the festive season. But non chinese shops are open. 👍
finally something different. this nasi lemak place is so underrated for tourist, probably because it's not in the city centre. Have a pleasant stay in MY!
Problem with nasi lemak is it lacked vegetables. The squid and fried chicken look good but why didn't I see fried anchovies and the chilli sauce which are most important in nasi lemak?
Not all the time we eat by hand,if we choose same dish you call exotic its more easier to eat by using fork and spoon. Glad to see you enjoy the nasi lemak.👍
Wow.. only locals know this place... use all 4 fingers... and use the thumb to push the rice.... Tear the meat and mix just that piece into the rice... use 4 fingers to scoop and the thumb to push.... Paru is lungs... They are repainting the temple...
I have got watering mouth just looking at that nasi lemak shop .. something I couldn't find out of Malaysia .. one of my most favorite dishes .. simple good old nasi lemak with fried eggs and some beef 🥴
Hiya. Flora and Note. Love this. Eating with your hands. I bet it was good. You two always make me feel hungry. The stairs from a distance. Looks like a big slide. Those monkeys are cheeky. The caves are beautiful. Great video. Have a wonderflo day
Never been to KL, but looks fascinating. Tried eating with fingers, but sad to watch. Rice all over my lap and table. However I will try Note's three finger thumb technique. If I fail I always carry chopsticks. Thank you enjoyed your vlog.
