@@TheDetourDuoIf you enjoy islands and mountains, the Borneo portion of your trip to Kota Kinabalu will be more exciting. If you visit Sarawak, travel to Kuching, otherwise, each state is pretty far away.
I had the opportunity to visit Kek Lok Si Temple myself last year sometime. It's an impressive place. There was no one at the funicular ticket counter, so I ended up walking all the way up, all the way around, and then all the way down again. I definitely got some exercise that day. And I remember thinking the same thing about the turtle pond and the signs. It made me laugh to think of "liberating" the turtles, like they were all trying to escape the pond. 🙂
Fyi, Pad Thai originated from Char Kuey Teow, when Thai Chinese tried Char Kuey Teow in Penang (which is near the Thai southern border) and loved it so much, they came up with their own version. This happened a long long time ago, apparently.
I am afraid that is wishful thinking, it’s not true. Pad Thai may go back to being initally called Kway Teow Pad Thai, where the ‘kway teow’ refers to rice noodles, but it is not derived from or related to Char Kway Teow.
Thaipusam is an important Hindu festival for the global Tamil community. Malaysia has the biggest celebration in the world, even greater than India and elsewhere. Therefore all communities in Penang are involved. Penang and Kuala Lumpur (Batu Caves) have multiple day celebrations. In Singapore, the celebration is for just one day.
We are going to KL in August for our 15th wedding anniversary and your video is really tempting me to propose we at least come for a night to Georgetown. You are my sort of travellers.
Both of you are so kind and the quality of the video is so good! So glad that it was a great trip with good food. Honestly it had been so hot even for locals here and I'm glad you got to see all the nice places~ Most importantly, Char Kuay Kak, yes, it's definitely too underrated because I love it so much too... Sometimes you get it in this Big Cone shape wrapping and you just eat out of it with chopsticks while on the go 🥰 Sunrise in Tan Jetty is really pretty too . Thank you for coming to Penang and we love you
@@TheDetourDuo I'm scared to travel to Muslim countries, but part of me, want to follow you guys and that's why I'm asking...so I knew how to tune mine according to your level ☺️
Oh I see. Um well we have no problem going to Muslim countries and honestly Malaysia is such a melting pot that you can forget. Heavy Indian and Asian influences there as well
