I am in Malaysia right now and I am watching this video because it just pop out in my head to search for street food here in Malaysia and its quite funny because earlier this morning we went to the market and we passed by the area you featured in your vlog, never thought there are so many delicious food there. I would love to come there and try there foods. Thanks for your video.
Malaysia has the largest Chinese population in the world outside of China, Taiwan and Thailand. Yes, there are more Chinese people in Malaysia than Hong Kong and Singapore 😊. So Chinatown is everywhere and therefore Petaling Street is more of a tourist attraction rather than a proper Chinatown. So you will get Chinese areas all over Malaysia at anytime of the day.
@@imjuzsayin..5017 honestly , I hear this repeated again and again but I have yet to meet an illegal chinese immigrant. Wonder if you know what you're talking about or you're k just spewing fake news?
Telur bistik ayam, mihun goreng and tahu bakar are some of the many foods that I miss so much. Food in Malaysia are generally spicy but you can always request to make it 'not spicy.' 😍
It is so wonderful that you film and support local food vendors, especially the legendary street vendors!! 👍💖❤️ It makes your vlogging so exotic. 8:54 The boy is ADORABLE!👼🏻
I'm a new subscriber and I have to say your videos are on a whole other level, I mean your kindness and spontaneity are enough to make people adore you 😇😇, let alone the filming and editing which are utterly fascinating 🔥🔥. I instantly love you and your channel and I really hope to see you one day 🙏❤️. P.s. the guy in the green and white shirt is cute ☺️
In Philippines it is called "taho" soft dessert tofu with sugar syrup. I was surprised nobody told you about it. it is served warm usually in the morning (roving street vendor) 7:44
Your voice and with that great bubbly yet not even fearful to try something you’re not used to, some tv channel better pick you up to host a travel show or something because you’re definitely going to get big!
4.20 that was not "Chay Kuey teow" you were at Kim Lian Kee Hokkien mee It was "yu kong hor", anyway if food is your thing you are at the right place Malaysia Truly Asia. BTW never say to a Malaysian food in S`pore better. Theirs mostly originated from here
Thank you for letting me know!!! The menu said moonlight Kuey Teow so I thought it was a variant 🤔 I definitely love food and I love it here 😂😂 thank you!
@@josieliftsthings "yu kong" cantonese mean moon "hor" = kuey Teow BTW there are two really good beef noodles just 20 meters further from entrance to petaling St Shin Kee Beef Noodles And across the street from Shin Kee you will find LAI FOONG Restaurant. Within Lai Foong "beef noodles" "chicken rice" "char kuey teow"
suggest you check out Ramly Burger at any night market ... you can try order Burger Ayam (chicken) Special Cheese and/or Burger Daging Special Cheese ... have fun
Hey Milo Girl, I haven't watched your video in a while. It's fun to see you venturing around the world. have a question from me Can you eat spicy food? If its level is 1-10, what level are you for spiciness?
The bean curd is known as tau fu fah The drink with longan is known lo han kor aka monk fruit The noodle is known as hokkien mee. If it is purely rice noodle, then its called moonlight koay teow And welcome to Malaysia
Actually there is no 'real' China town in Kuala Lumpur, it is an area right in the heart of 'old' part of the city where the commercial activities of the early Chinese immigrants are located. Majority of them had already moved away and the city has since developed further to other areas. This part of the city has since been developed into a tourist attraction. Chinese are everywhere in Kuala Lumpur and you can find Chinese food everywhere in the city. Local folks normally do not go there for food.
Six of us lived in a room in Petaling Street (taken over by the Restaurant Kim Lian See - 1:05 mins in the video). The shop front of my old home is on the left not in view. Kim Lian Kee used to trade across the road on the left behind you from a zinc roofed wooden building. Lived there for many years and left KL in 1973 to take up articleship in the UK. Know the place like the back of my hand. Feeling very nostalgic. Missed the food immensely.
You should go ipoh too. Where there's also have various food. Each of state has their own special main dishes. Such as in Negeri Sembilan we have “masak lemak cili api” or “daging salai”. State Melaka has “Asam Pedas”. State Pahang we have “Patin Tempoyak”. State Johor we have “Roti kacang pool” and many. State Terengganu we have “Keropok losong” and specialist in “seafood celup tepung”. Serawak has ”Mee kolok”. And plethora types foodie.🤣😍
@@josieliftsthings Yay! Laksa, Cendol, and Siam Road Char Kway Teow awaits! If you ever need to tone down the spice, just tell them "less spicy". Bon appetit! PS. Stir fried vermicelli is the dry one so you can fully appreciate the "wok hei"
11:55 this is the location where Kuala Lumpur (KL) began, meeting of two rivers, Klang and Gombak rivers. Kuala Lumpur in Malay literally means mud (Lumpur) estuary (Kuala).
Love that we are seeing you in Malaysia now. I know these vids are months ols now but I did miss that you didn't do many currency conversions with each bit of food you purchase (had to keep grabbing the computer to do it lol ...yeah I am lazy lol). We love watching you and Michael
Hi 👋🏻 Just to inform you there will be Malaysia *Independence Day Parade* in Merdeka Square, KL on 31 August 2022 (from 7am to 2pm). There’ll be performances, national exhibitions & parade.
Should try the malay food Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Dagang, Laksam....originated from the East Coast States ( Kelantan & Terengganu) but you can find in KL go to Kak Som restaurant Kampung Baru...make sure to mix it well beforr you eat especially the nasi kerabu to give you a burst of flavor 😁😁
If you are still in KL, try to come to the exact same spot (where you stood and looked at Masjid Jamek) at night, the lights along the rivers will be lit up, the view is totally different from daytime. Worth to take a look. # river of life
Like the rest of KL attractions there are always two face worth exploring day and night. I love driving around KL at night where the city is lit and not much traffic around
Back in the day people used to go the mosque (masjid jamek) by foot or by small boats. They will tie their boat on the stairs that u saw. Recently they did a renovation works and discovered 1 of the stump where people used to tie their boats.
that soya bean curd usually you can go creative with one or two lychee fruit as a topping. usually served hot. You know when best to make these, after the rain go on your deck and enjoy a hot soy bean curd dessert
I used to drive from JB to KL and back in a day just to shop in Petaling Street and eat. It's so poor now I doubt I would visit even if walking past the end. The food was always expensive (but good) and everything sold there is now crap.
@@josieliftsthings I've not visited since late 2019 despite being in KL several times. From what I've heard its even worse. The food isn't in Petaling Street by centred along one of crossroad, the first if you approach from the main road. As I said, I always found the food to be good. It was never exceptional but always expensive. Back in the day Petaling Steet used to have good quality fakes of everything at reasonable prices sold by local sellers. It's now all rubbish often sold by non Malaysians. The best part was the second half of Petaling Street, the part with no market, house many of the wholesalers who would quite happy sell just one of everything at a fraction of the price in the market. A few still exist so before you buy check them out.
You guys should go to melaka.They have the best chicken rice balls in the world and amazing coconut show plus they have the jonker street is alot of street food stalls i heard their fried ice cream are good.
that soya bean you tried is called taho in our country, the Philippines you have visited recently, hoping that when you come back to the Philippines you will try taho.
No Malaysian Chinese call it China town. It is petaling street. The Chinese already here in peninsular before any townships here long before Kuala Lumpur existed
Archaeology is banned in Malaysia because it throws up the wrong kind of history, the kind the Malays don't like, the kind that shows both Chinese and Indians were there before them.
4:12 That's not char koay teow, it's known as moonlight koay teow or Hokkien fried koay teow with a raw egg on top. As you mix it up with the hot noodles, it semi cooks the egg. I've personally never heard of salmonella issues in Malaysia so it's quite safe to eat raw eggs. Been doing it most of my life and I'm still here... ;-) Koay teow is the white flat rice noodles and moonlight is the raw yellow egg yolk. Technically the name char koay teow also means fried koay teow, but it is a different dish altogether, which you must also try out. This char koay teow is well known as a Penang dish. So if you go to many food courts, you will see it as Penang char koay teow.
Yeah I said in the start it’s moonlight char koay teow! 😁 So does that mean that’s the kind I would get in Penang? Is that what they serve as the normal dish? They don’t have any other kind of char koay teow? I’ve heard penang is known for it!! Haaha
@@josieliftsthings No, Penang fried koay teow is a drier fried koay teow with prawns and Chinese sausage. It’s a different dish altogether from what you ate in this video and is a must try. Char koay teow originated from Penang and the best is to be had there, but you can walk into any food court in KL and you’ll see this dish as well. It’s that popular and you need to try. FYI, if you don’t like spicy, tell the vendor, otherwise they will fry it with a dollop of chillies. 😬
@@josieliftsthings The famous Char Kuew Teow that all those youtubers show in their videos is a different style. They are usually a stand-alone stall that specializes in it. For the most authentic taste, you should go for the chinese style. Just letting you know so you don’t leave Malaysia without trying the real char kuew teow. Btw, RM29 for that plate of kuew teow and a can of coke is a real ripoff.
Actually our chinatown is not as big as bangkok's nor as old as manila's but we speak mandarin and chinese are spread out to ipoh, johor bahru, penang, taiping, melaka, muar. Why need a chinatown to represent chinese?
I don’t think you need a Chinatown to represent Chinese people nor have I said that! All I did was go to a place called Chinatown and had some delicious food ☺️ That isn’t the only place to get Chinese food… but it’s quite popular for tourists to visit chinatowns of the places they go to for some food. I assume that’s why some of them are usually so busy. 😂
@@josieliftsthings i said that because many tourists dislike the stalls there selling stuff. They were expecting an entire street full of chinese food like jalan alor.
HAHAHHA it’s so funny because I’m not used to mixing anything! I like eating my food seperate I’m weird 😂 like if there’s chicken and vegetables I’ll eat some vegetables then have bits of chicken seperate 😂😂😂
