MALAYSIA IS SO UNDERRATED! 🇲🇾 

wow, you look so much like David Beckham after the hair cut 👍👍👍

Tbh, I like Malaysia to continue to be under rated !

You went into a bar alone and a bunch of uncles were merry making and invited you over. Sometimes they won't let visitors drink alone. That's Ipoh.

Sengkuang is jicama, a type of root vegetable. Calit in Malay means to smear or to douse something. So ‘sengkuang calit’ literally means jicama doused in sauce. Cendol is pandan flavored rice jellies or droplets, very popular all over Malaysia. I recommend you to try the regular one first because having it with durian can be overwhelming. Regular cendol is a simple dessert in shaved ice & palm sugar. Cendol itself is very mild in taste and perfect for one of those hot humid days.

There's a lot to learn and explore about Malaysia, our country is so underrated. If you went to Penang and Ipoh, you shall see and experience a lot of Chinese influences from food, buildings and cultures. Explore more of our cities to experience the local cultures especially with those that don't speak English. English fluent Malaysian speakers are apparently quite different from the not fluent ones, somehow... But they are all still lovely and friendly nonetheless.

Maybe you should try explore East Coast. There are plenty of beautiful islands like Perhentian or Redang in Terengganu. Or Tioman island in Pahang. Or if you like colder weather since you’re in Ipoh maybe you can go to Cameron Highlands which is in Perak/Pahang border. If you’re adventurous you can also try go to Kenyir Lake in Terengganu or National Park in Pahang. And also, explore the Malaysian Borneo (East Malaysia) Sabah & Sarawak for more beautiful islands, caves & rainforests.

I'm an Asian travel veteran, Malaysia is the stand out for outstanding friendliness & hospitality to visitors. And I maintain, the greatest selection of food in all SEA.

You look so good and fresh with your new haircut! 👍👍👍

You're visiting the West Malaysia. East Malaysia States of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Sabah is famous for its islands and mount Kinabalu while Sarawak is more to Jungle adventures.

You're spot on with your vlogs headline, Malaysia is way underrated. And you're in one of the food haven in the country. Ipoh is the city of delicious local street foods. Go visit all the famous Chinese temples that's build inside the limestone mountains around Ipoh. Enjoy your stay!✌️

Go to Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, magical place. Don't forget your jackets

Can try travelling to Sabah and Sarawak malaysia, it is very deferent from peninsula malaysia. The culture, the food and people. 👍👍

Sengkuang is jicama. They put some sweet prawn paste. The cendol is made with green glutinous rice jelly, red beans, coconut milk (that's the basic). But i think yours has glutinous rice on top. By the way, cool haircut..very clean. I agree with you, not only Ipoh but the rest of the states are cool too. While you are there, try their famous chicken rice with their famous bean sprouts. They even have chicken baked in salt.

Looks like you are having a great time. I quite liked Cameron highlands when I was there but a long time ago. You are right though Malaysia is a very underrated destination.

1:19 You probably know Singhalese refers to the majority ethnic group in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon). Most came to Malaysia about hundred years ago brought by the colonial British to work as clerks and supervisors in government offices and plantations because they were largely conversant in English. Today of course their descendants are citizens of multiracial Malaysia.

your haircut is definitely on the higher end side but that price is normal for an established hairstylist... for me, usually i just go for a quickcut at shopping mall and it cost usd5 or so. 😂 but they don't take their time and it is really quick.. lol.. thanks for appreciating Malaysia. hope you will find more nice places around in malaysia...

Take a 50 min train ride to Taiping (day trip from Ipoh is possible if you dont plan to hike the Maxwell Hill). From the train station walk up to the Taiping Lake Garden (the oldest garden in Malaysia). Taiping was the capital before Ipoh, so lots of 'first' thing was built in Malaysia by the British. First museum, first train, first prison, lots more.. From Ipoh you can take a bus up to Cameron Highland. Please go during weekdays an non festive season. Otherwise it will be super crowded. From CH, you can start your east coast journey and visit islands like Kapas, Redang, or Perhentian. Penang and Ipoh are a food capital for non Malay food, but east coast (Kota Bharu namely) is the capital for traditional Malay food and culture. Wau (kite), Wayang Kulit (shadow puppet), Menora dancing, Songket knitting are the remnants from old malay kingdom (Sriwijaya) which could only be found in Kelantan. They might be communication issue in Kelantan though.

Senkuang calit is very rare nowadays.....the younger generation may not have heard about it....it is very refreshing when it is cold.. Bro....you should visit the east coast ....perhentian island,kapas island

Ok Tom, if you're still in Ipoh and you're looking for interesting places and things to do here are a few you can try out.. 1) The han chin pet soo museum ( book your tour through the Ipoh world website. It's listed as one of the top independent museums by UNESCO if i rmbr correctly) 2) The Hor Yan Hor museum which is just next to Han Chin Pet Soo ( free entrance) 3) gua tempurung ( Coconut cave) - get a grab to take you there. 4) white water rafting - chk out either adeline resort or nomads adventure or gopeng rainforest resort 5) The Tin dredge in tanjung tualang 6) X-cape tambun - you can choose to go trekking with them 7) chk out the ipoh heritage trail (heritage trail map available from the tourism office) 8) u can also chk out the gopeng heritage trail.( ask the tourism office for info) 9) Kek lok toong - happiness cave ( this is a cave temple which is part of the geopark of perak) 10) Try the local delicacies. a) tau foo fah ( bean curd dessert) - most well known is funny mountain b) bean sprouts chicken - most well-known os lou wong but I wld recommend Oon Kee c) hor hee ( a kind of flat rice noodles in clear broth topped with slices of fish cake and chopped greens and chillies) - the most well known is in a coffee shop called loke wooi kooi - you can google it Hv fun

PULUT is glutinous rice, usually they serve cendol with tapai pulut (fermented glutinous rice)

A great hair cut and what a cool barber shop!

since you're in perak, how about you spent a day visit Kinta? it non-tourist area, but for me personally kinta is so beautiful place. kinta town, kinta riverwalk, etc.

While you in ipoh, you should take bus to Kuala Kangsar. It is a royal city where Grand Palace is located. Its a very beautiful city, great landscape where many colonial buildings around. It also offer lical delicacy like laksa etc.

So many delicious food in Ipoh.. You should explore...😋 👍

Watched your 1st few vlog few weeks back. If i recalled correctly, you've ended up in Malaysia due to some glitches with visa thingy. That time you had your 1st hair cut in Malaysia, and you basically know not much with Malaysia. Its Great to know now you're pretty +ve after going around. Keep exploring mate 👍🏻😊

Must Visit East Malaysia. Climb the tallest mountain in South East Asia. The Islands are more beaitiful than Trengganu. West Malaysia is more about Shopping. But East malaysia is all about Adventure. The Mountain, the Rainforest and the Sea.

Welcome to Perak. Great place to visit in Perak: - Pangkor Island: swimming at its beach or do snorkeling nearby Giam Island, visit Dutch fort, visit beautiful Mosque/Masjid seribu selawat, mosque masjid seribu doa, visit fun lin kong garden temple -Other great place nearby Ipoh such as Tempurung Cave, Qin Xin Ling, Mirror Lake/Tasik cermin, kellie's castle, Leaning Tower Teluk Intan. -Taiping Area: Taiping city & lake garden, Larut Hill, night safari zoo taiping, Bukit Merah Laketown Resort. -kuala Kangsar area: Visit beautiful Mosque Masjid Ubudiah, Victoria bridge

Congrats nice hair cut👍 Looking more handsome than before!👍 I just subscribed your channel ✅🙋🏼

Ipoh is my hometown. Go for something off the beaten path like the ones you went for Sinhalese Bar and 90's Haircut. There are many more to explore in the state of Perak that less visited/reviewed by international RU-vidrs. One of the main reasons for Malaysia is underrated for American market is the lack of movies and TV shows that using Malaysia as filming location, although movies like Anna & The King, Crazy Rich Asians, Indochine, Beyond Rangoon etc. did use Malaysia as location replacing the original sites in Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar etc. Entrapment (1999) starring Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta Jones, Ving Rhames probably the last movie that featured Malaysia extensively (albeit incorrectly showing Petronas Twin Towers surrounded by slums by mixing the image of Kuala Lumpur and fisherman village in Melaka using CGI)

hi,welcome to malaysia,recommend you can visit to cameron highlands, penang, melaka,muar to explore delicious food.

Get in Perak transit toward Kampar, stop at mid way town Gopeng. Explore history of small town.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Malaysia n her cities r underrated for foreign tourists, well maybe except for KL, Penang n Melaka. D cities in d east coast of d peninsular Malaysia, Sabah n Sarawak r more underrated places for foreign tourists.

Hi, how was Langkawi ? Now , if you head down south +- 30km , you will reach the town of Gopeng. Here you can explore Gua Tempurung. It's lime stone caves and you'd be amazed at how huge it is. And if you fancy white water rafting it is also near Gopeng. Try waterbug.

claiming to be the second oldest bar in malaysia. with a wild west swing door like that, i believe it

Go up north to Taiping, it was the capital ( during the colonial era) of Perak before Ipoh. It has rich history, with many colonial buildings and holds many firsts in Malaysia. Taiping Lake Garden, 1st public garden in Malaysia, with century old rain trees Perak Museum, oldest museum in Malaysia Taiping Zoo, 1st zoo in Malaysia Taiping railway station, 1st operational train station in Malaysia Bukit Larut aka Maxwell Hill, a hill station popular for hiking. The Taiping War Cemetery is located near here.

well, i cut my long hair 3 weeks ago for RM48 and still feel regret going to the salon cos I thought it was pricey. never thought there are more pricey for short hair.

Go to tempurung cave. Not far from ipoh. You will be amazed when inside the cave.

Hey Tom, if time permits, u should make a trip to Kuching, Sarawak, one of the East Malaysia states on Borneo Island. U will be amazed with different cultures, food and surroundings. Very different from West Malaysia. English is our official language here. So it's widely spoken here.

Since you in perak, you could go to Taiping or bukit larut. Otherwise can go to Terengganu more to explore, making ship traditional ways, beautiful beaches, foods etc.

Perfect timing 👌🏻 ... just in time for one last video of yours before bedtime 🌙 😴 🤭👍 Thanks

I like what I heard in the last part of the vlog... "I don't have plan to leave Ipoh yet"

If you really like beautiful island, you must go to Semporna..lots of beautiful islands there..its in Sabah, Malaysia east coast. In Sabah, we have the highest mountain in south east asia, Mount Kinabalu.

Hey there, tom. I think what made the cendol too filling for you was the pulut (sticky rice). The durian was just a matter of whether you liked it or not. Probably you should have just tried a regular cendol as a noob 😅 BTW, if you love fruits, you should try the popular sweet Ipoh pomelo. Also immensely popular is Ipoh char kuey teow (fried koay teow with cockles)

The title of your video is spot-on !

in Ipoh You Should try Nasi Ganja( Marijuana Rice) Don't worry not drugs involve, its called that way because its very additive dish that you will want to eat every time you are in Ipoh, Also You should try Ipoh snow Beers too, Cheers Places to visit is the Mirror Lake in a cave do check that out.

Ipoh, go look for salt bake chicken you can only find them here, they have the famous ipoh nasi ganja. dont worry they don’t have any illegal stuff it it, its just a name ppl call it. Or something less spicy, ipoh bean sprout chicken or ipoh chicken hor fun. And there is the famous ipoh curry mee noodle. ipoh famous soya bean, bean curd.✌🏼

Would be nice if you could check out the club or happening night scenes in kuala lumpur. I don’t think any traveller have ever did a vlog on it. Will be interesting to see how it compares the the club scene in the US

Nice hair cut and you looks great.

if you like seaside or beach,you can go to pulau tioman,pulau redang,pulau besar,pulau perhentian

Hope you enjoy your time in Malaysia. You also can visit another part of Malaysia that situated in Borneo Island

Go to Perhentian Island, Terengganu, east coast. Since you love night life, go to the Long Beach. Don't forget to take a snorkelling trip. The island is nothing for me without it's beautiful marine life. Snorkelling is a must. For more information, refer to youtube about Perhentian Islands.

man, that hair is on point! I'm wondering, have you tried the basic Malaysian stables like teh tarik (pulled tea) and roti canai for breakfast?

You should go to Sabah next. Sabah has many breathtaking islands for you to explore. U will definitely be amazed! Thanks me later.

Welcome too Ipoh city Perak '. Next trip travel filght too Kuching Sarawak Malaysia n Sabah kota Kinabalu. .west Malaysia . happy enjoy in Ipoh bro Tom

Check out local temple build in a cave. Many of it around ipoh. Food to try in ipoh is mee goreng cathay and nasi ganja both at yang kalsom street. Also try many chinese noodle shop around ipoh. Town of taiping about an hour from ipoh is also nice to visit.

ipoh is city of caves, you should visit few of the most famous, especially Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village

Speaking of beautiful island, check out Perhentian or Tioman island. For cooling and scenic hill view, Cameron Highland is not very far away from Ipoh.

You should go to the east coast states of Kelantan Trengganu and Pahang.. excellent delicious food beautiful islands and beaches.

Enjoy your holiday here. Ipoh is cool 😎. Nice haircut dude 😍

Since u in Perak I think Cameron Highlands is close, the cold mountain part of Malaysia.. But its going to be crowded tho, better go on week days

"Malaysia is so underrated!" - Tommy I agree, Tommy. It is one of the most underrated countries in Asia, while China and Thailand are some of the most overrated countries in Asia (at least that was the status quo before COVID-19).

Wow~ Nice hair cut

Ipoh ..caves..... Michelle Yeoh hometown! Foods and ppls... Malaysia is known as one of the top diving paradise and many2 cool islands to explore!

Tommy next Destination Taiping ..Taiping was the Capital of Perak before Ipoh...and Taiping many historical places for you to Venture.. oldest Church in Malaysia is in Taiping... Google sir Taiping surprise you more...Without Taiping your expedition is in complete... Food Heaven is in Taiping... Traditional coffee factory is in Taiping... Read Sir..Taiping Lake Garden wow

Tommy that's one expensive haircut for malaysian standards. It costs the same as i pay in Lil Saigon, California. Lol 😆

Great hair cut Tommy! 🙂 I'we been watching you on and off since Covid 19 first came around and dont mind me asking but how do you affort being 'on the road' for so long? I mean no matter how cheap it is travelling do cost. Especially when being away for more than six months or more...heay dont answer if its too personal. Great videos love to see your updates. Peace from Copenhagen, Denmark...

u look like captain America after haircut bos...hahahha...look nice...thumbs up

welcome to Ipoh... but I'm just back to KL from Ipoh...😅

Another place for you to explore. restaurant choong kee pokok besar (restaurant choong kee under the big tree. 1213, Jalan King, Taman Hoover, 31650 Ipoh, Perak. 800am till 530pm.) have fun… ✌🏼

brah thats a GREAT haircut!

Next you should drop by the state of Kelantan n Terengganu, the food n ppl are super awesome n the breathtaking beaches

Try other islands in Malaysia. Langkawi might be famous among tourist. but if you love nature, langkawi is not event in top 5

Come to Melaka if u haven’t been. The best cendol in Malaysia is in Melaka.

Yesss the channel is growing at a rapid pace brother!

Good stuff Tommy! Need those daily vlogs bro. You deserve more HYPE on the tube🤙

You're looking great!

Melacca is another city u may consider to visit👍

Sengkuang is turnip. It is used in popiah springroll.

you look good in new haircut man

There’s a perhentian island, tioman island, kapas island, all on the east coast if you like island hopping

Hi welcome to Ipoh You look more handsome with the new haircut...👱🏻‍♂️👍🏼

How can Malaysia not have beautiful islands. South East Asia is FULL of beautiful islands and Malaysia is like in the middle of it 😅

Tom,you should try the ipoh chicken rice with ipoh bean sprout and also nasi ganja..

Are you going to put together a travel guide of Malaysia? It will sale👍🏿

You look good with your new hair cut 🤗

Spot on. Expect the unexpected. Except for the exhilarating alcohol pricing; Malaysia is pretty competitive to Thailand. But somehow; the marketing to promote Malaysia is lacking or not that appealing to some people. Or Malaysia is often misunderstood as we are a multi racial nation.

look great after haircut FYI before you eat/drink must max it very well first lol btw Cendol is the green thing make from coconut milk and pandan leaf

Great hair cut! You also looked refreshed. 👍

10:30 you look good man.. if you are still in Ipoh..try visit the cave temple.. and if you like nature.. go to gopeng gampling nature resort or gua tempurung.

Ive been to many countries and I agree.

Try the islands on the east coast dude....try Lang Tengah/Redang. Highly recommended Dewati B&B 👍

Yep that's true, Malaysia is underrated ... Most foreigners when they want to visit Southeast Asia, then Thailand probably first popped up in their mind and not Malaysia and when they want to visit Southeast Asian beach then probably Bali beach in Indonesia came into their minds instead of Langkawi beach in Malaysia ... This could be due to d fact that Thailand as a Southeast Asian country and Bali beach in Indonesia are more known to them than Malaysia which is also located in Southeast Asia and Langkawi beach which could be found in Malaysia for example ... When i went overseas, some of them heard of Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Singapore but some of them never heard of Malaysia ... And because of that, Malaysia even though it really is a beautiful country with its warm, hospitable, generous, friendly and helpful people with its beautiful diversities, unique and beautiful places of interests and multi, unique and beautiful cultures and varieties of delicious foods etc and generally a very safe country to visit and it should be known better by many more people than what it is known by d not so many as a beautiful Southeast Asian country to visit and a Southeast Asian country that has a lot to offer actually but sadly it is not extensively known as that today ... Sadly, so yes i agree with u that Malaysia is very underrated in that sense ....

From Ipoh you can go to Pulau Pangkor or the Cameron Highlands.

1:18 - The irony.. Sinhalese Bar with a Tiger logo (those who know, will get the irony LOL)

Your new hair cut makes you look cool. 👍🏻

OMG Ipoh is nearby with my place but I never found those Cendol Durian and Sengkuang Calit😂😂.. I wanna go there!!! Concubine Lane are the name of that place?

Thats a really fresh haircut. You are right, its pretty pricey. Looks good though, I wish I had that much hair haha.

if you think lagkawi is beautiful you will fall in love with REdang Island , Perhentian Island and Pulau manukan in East Malaysia

I love it , tommy boy back in action 🎬

I suggest you take the ETS train to Gemas. Then take the "jungle train" all the way to Wakaf Baru on the east coast state of Kelantan. Theres a sleepers coach on the jungle train, so you spend overnight onboard and arrive Wakaf Baru in the morning. Wakaf Baru is about 15mins away by grab to Kota Bharu, the state capital of Kelantan where you can sample unique traditional Malay cuisines such as Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Kukus and Laksam. You will feel another vibe of Malaysia on the East coast where life is on a slower pace. From Kota Bharu, you can travel to Kuala Besut (1 hour)..the gateway to Pulau Perhentian, a tropical island of beautiful white sandy beach. From Perhentian, you can then travel to Kuala Terengganu and catch different vibes there. Although predominantly Malay, lesser known facts is that Chinatown in Kuala Terengganu is one of the oldest chinese settlement in South East Asia. You can sample local food such as Nasi Dagang, Keropok Lekor, Celup Tepung (deep fried seafood) and many others.
