Sorry to break it to you guys but Malaysians do not say "makan nasi" before eating. I seriously do not know where you get that info from. Really can't imagine any Malaysian telling you that, first time I ever heard of it. It does not translate to "lets eat". It just translate to "eat rice".
I don't know bout you but back in Malaysia I used to say "tai kah sek fan" in big family dinners which is the canto version of "everyone eat rice". Maybe the whole makan nasi thing is a similar thing but translated to Malay.
Yup..makan nasi is translated to eat rice..we actually say 'jom makan' if among friends..but if its formal event or with elderly etc..we say jemput makan..same meaning but more polite...im a malaysian malay..so should be valid ^^
***** Well, if I am out with friends and my food come first - I would just say "weh, aku makan dulu tau..." Hahaha!! Unless when I am with my parents or older relatives & family members then I would say "Makan, Ma..." or "Makan Pak Lang, Mak Lang..." hahahha!!
One doesn't simply eat all Malaysian foods in one restaurant. I usually travel through jungles, hills, and rivers to get myself a plate of Malaysian dish.
Great introduction to Malaysian food! We do not typically say 'makan nasi' before eating. Some would say 'sek fan' before eating which means 'eat rice' in Cantonese, as a sign of respect to the elderly.
I think the original recipe is stir fried eggplant with chilli shrimp paste gravy.But in this video,it is roasted.It's good thou.One of my favourite food too.
Ah! I can't believe Malaysian food isn't common in the States. It's everywhere in the cosmopolitan areas of Australia. But we probably do have more Malaysians here. They even brought their chains with then (see Pappa Rich). Thanks for sharing this awesome cuisine dudes!
Because it's so much cheaper for Malaysians to study at Australia than the US or the UK. Of course we Malaysians bring our food with us as we study overseas.
I just found out they have Pappa Rich in the LA area, would be interesting to see how it competes with the more established mom and pop/non-chain Malaysian spots here.
The laksa doesn't seem correct... more like curry mee (or some call curry laksa). Should get Asam Laksa, which the noodle is totally different and nice! Also, a must try is Rojak!
That's Singaporean style Laksa i think Yep im pretty sure laksa doesn't look like that There are lots of version of laksa but Penang Laksa(asam laksa) is definitely the best
Very awesome video and you guys managed to cover the signature must have dish of nasi lemak. I simply love the Malay words you guys tried to pronounce (although its funny and cute at the same time), and really appreciate all of the effort you guys put into this.
Melvin Liam one does not simpally ask this question and not get spamed obviously its malaysian cuz you can never find a place where food can be mixed in ways noone can imagine eg. pisang goreng chees (fried banana with chease) yes its real
you know in Malaysian schools they sell nasi lemak at 1 ringgit and what you get is the rice, one teaspoon of sambal, anchovies, peanuts and the worst part: 1/8 of a hard boiled egg. so yea, what you got is an expensive nasi lemak with all the goodness in it.
that's how asian foods are priced in western and non asian countries. trust me, been there. huhu just like how western foods are being priced in asian country
Char Kuay Teow is definitely a Teochew influence. The name of the dish is straight up Teochew words. In Cambodia, we have a dish with the same name, but our version is totally different.
I like how everyone is complaining about the pronunciation but nobody is bothering to correct them. Roti canai is pronounced as CHanai, bak kut teh is more like BAHk (kind of like bark without the r) kuT teh, Asam isn't pronounced as Eh-some like you guys seem to call it but more like Ah-sum, nyonya isn't 'narnia' but 'Ni-yon-ya', kapitan isn't ka-puh-tan but more like ka-PIT-tan. Just a gentle correction but it could just be your accents getting in the way of the proper pronunciation
Was actually looking for someone to comment on this. Most just want to give criticism, but no one's really giving constructive criticism. I'm disappointed as a fellow Malaysian.
YAYYY finally you guys made an episode bout malaysian food...and I'm from malaysia..its funny how you pronounce roti canai.. i hope fungbros can come to malaysia and do an episode on types of laksa that would be awesome
I'm Chinese Canadian and I enjoy Malaysian food so much I taught myself to make Laksa from scratch and it was freaking delicious. I haven't tried all those dishes mentioned but I wanna.
i am malaysian and i never heard of ice kumquat, lol . Try Teh tarik Sirap ice Michael Jackson Sugar cane ice with lemon juice Bandung Nasi Kerabu Nasi Dagang If your talking about Milo , then try Milo Dinosaur One does not eat nasi lemak without the sambal satay comes nasi himpit my friend Bakkuteh thaat your eating is not the malaysian way , your missing the condiment of mince garlic, thick soya sauce and chili and of course the you char kway in the broth
Although I'm not Malaysian or Chinese, I usually try my best in recreating the Roti-Canai, but it's still really good because there aren't many inexpensive authentic Malaysian restaurants here, but I know Hainan Chicken is Chinese, it's still really good at the play that's really expensive in Chinatown.
+chikimo tokame rindorikarinrinkatekifukari I am Malaysian, I too still like Nasi Lemak, in fact often I make it myself, so easy to make. Almost similiar to Indonesia's Nasi Uduk except that you don't need to steam the rice for nasi lemak like you do in nasi uduk..I've never tried nasid uduk but it loos good too..
I noticed that when people come to Malaysia, they always eat (no wonder Malaysia is known as Food Paradise Country ). But the thing is, they don't even try our kuih-muih.. We have various type of kuih in here.. but i don't know how to say kuih in english , so someone???
Urghh watching this makes me want food now!! I love malaysian food every time i travel to other countries and i still would miss our home food !!! Yum yum
what he said about the red-bean dessert......never heard anything more accurate in my life. Although i do love red bean buns and greean tea and red bean smoothies
Sambal on everything!!! I love love sambal. And that drink they sell on roadsides every afternoon, the one with the caramel and green jello made from rice. Gave me diarrhea almost everytime i drank/ate it but it's soooo good, like a dulce de leche drink with soft green rice cakes.
like when you think about it.... THERE IS A MALAYSIAN RESTAURANT IN USA! like...wow~~~ XD malaysian food doesn't taste sweet generally...if it is sweet then it would basically mean tht the chefs at the restaurant prefer a much sweeter palate
I'm chinese , I'm a malaysian , I'm into western , but all the food u guys tried are my favorites , laksa yum , one of the best food in the world as my opinion
+Sherman PlaysMC I wonder how ppl react when malaysian or singaporean realize the so-called local food also exist in southern China, like Hainan chicken rice, Yong tao foo etc....
thanks for saying satay have their own version in each countries in southeast asia, really, its a big deal because if you didn't i could see those indonesian comes here and say how satay is actually from indonesia.
Hi, I know it's super long since the video has been uploaded but just for your (and others') information... It is true that Bak Kut Teh directly translated is Pork Bone Tea. The dish is basically pork and it's bones boiled in a broth that is made with multiple herbs, and it's served with plain rice. However it does not mean that the broth is made with tea. The "tea" element is more of what we drink to accompany the dish :) This is a food that is super popular in a city called Klang in Selangor, Malaysia. If you all (or any other viewers) have the chance, do drop by and try one of the many thousands stalls in this city. The amazing thing is every stall has a different variation of their broth!
I was born in Malaysia and eat everything you've shown, but definitely do not say that "makan nasi" before eating nor do I pronounce "roti canai", "char kuay teow" and some other dishes that way haha. I found it funny the way yal said it. But yeah I love Malaysia food. By far, char kuay teow is like one of my favs!
yigs err.. it's just boiling bones for 24-48 hrs with some veggies and aromatics. It takes no more money or effort really. Just takes more time. I wouldn't buy pre-made bone broth though.
GeekBella yeah the price is a lot more than regular broth, plus the body isn't even able to absorb all the extra nutrients that boiling bones offers so whats the point? Like our body isn't able to absorb ingested collagen at all.
Malaysian Food is awesome!! Madame Kwan's in KL would have to be my favorite restaurant in the world. Love the Nasi Lamak and the Malaysian Satay. Great vid guys!!
OMG fung bro !I'm jelly Belinda and finally u did the Malaysia episode!I'm from Malaysia ! Next time visit Malaysia I will bring u to eat Malaysian nyonya Kuih , har mee ,asam laksa ,cendol , rojak,belacan petai ,nasi kelabu ,nasi dagang, fish head noodles , hokkien mee, pan mee.... Really wish u guys can come over and enjoy our food diversity!see u !!love u guys!!!
acctually, the "nese" word thing used to race or somenthing like that. because if i use "indian", it will be vague words which is means india or indian people (who have war folk story with western country in the past)
Roti means bread, canai means to roll in Malay, Malaysian food is Malay, Chinese and Indian food mixed together, and Roti Canai is of the Indian one, no it's not from Chennai, despite the name. Roti Canai is on Wikipedia if you want more info
hourgmorn wikipedia it is not a valid source, because even 10 years old child can edited it. It's true roti means bread, BUT please, check the india food. They have the 'original' Roti. If you want to know the real roti, please check the other fungbros food (the india food). You will see that.
I like all kind of foods from malaysia. I'm korean. I lived in malaysia for 7months and i had tried lots of plates(nasilemak, char quey tiow, chendol, loti canai etc....) some of foods are similar with korean food. Especially spicy food. Enjoy tasty cuisine of malaysia!
I've been to malaysia and actually i did not enjoy the food as much as the weather and the nature But it is a great country and i hope to go there again
We still have so much more food like curry puffs, chicken rice, 3 different variety of laksa, malacca cusine (malay+portugese+chinese mix), telur bistik, ramly burger and many more.
Bosanlah aku mana-mana pun yang tunjuk budaya, seni, makanan Malaysia, mesti ada je yang nak claim dorang punya. Jepun makan nasik, China makan nasik, Thai makan nasik, kau tak nak claim sekali padi pun kau punya? Setiap negara dah ada olahan sendiri tak kesahlah asal usul makanan tu dari mana pun. Kata bodoh kang marah. Kawan-kawan aku yang Indo, yang terpelajar ni semua baik je takde nak menggelabah nak claim itu ini bagai. Aku suka resepi Indo, dorang suka resepi Malaysia. Takde hal pun. Yang dok claim ni aku tak tau nak kategorikan sebagai apa.
I love the way you guys react to food, whatever country it's from XD. I don't actually care about the way you pronounce it but to help you guys, it's just literal pronunciations like roti canai is (roh-tee can-nai) or bak kut teh (buck- koot-teh) just a heads up but keep doing what you're doing cause I love it
Malaysian, Indon n S'porean food share many regional food ..so what is this pettiness about? I'm Malaysian Chinese n i hv really nice Indon friends who work here n 'Memang bodoh kalau orang yang berfikiran sempit'
makanan malingsia yang dimiliki Malingsia semua berasal milik Indonesia kecuali masakan cina mengandung babi itu bukan milik Indonesia...sbb malingsia banyak makanan kedai babi,,,kayak mcam kau dapig bodoh
Barbie Que pstt tak rasa bangsa kau yang hina dan miskin lebih teramat sangat jelata kena lonkang apek dan ahmoi...hisap jubor bangsa lain..dehal ketuanan di tanah sendiri..tapi kenapa jadi miskin melayu gembel ni ?? hahahahahahahahaha
Sorry to say... The first malaysian who settle in Malay peninsula were from Sumatera Island, Indonesia. Their food are mostly brought by Indonesians and India. Malaysian language (Melayu) and Bahasa Indonesia totally different... In Singapore, have Bugis race, Java race, Dayak race... Those are from Indonesia... Originally Indonesia... Bugis in South Celebes, Java in island of Java and Dayak in Borneo (Kalimantan)... I think you should learn more about history... Why in Malaysia and Singapore have Nasi Padang?? Because it came from Padang, West Sumatera Indonesia ... And the taste totally different... The way they serve also different... Nasi Padang original are the best... And still have a lot more... You can travel to Indonesia, and you can find out...
malaysian food???,,, they never had any original authentic dishes,,, malaysian food just came from Chinese, Indian, Indonesian cultural dishes (and Mixed it called peranakan dishes), and claiming as their national dishes, malaysia doesnt have any original cultures or dishes at all
I am pretty sure every malaysian smiles watching this because I did. You just gotta be proud that they are introducing our food man! I do cringe at their pronunciation but hey! who cares as long as you got to eat :D Malaysian food for the win
I have been to this place..for those living in So.Cal, it's on North Peck Rd in El Monte. Only place I know that has decent popiah and I always have the Lasksa with meehoon &mee. Their roti canai is a joke. For those of you linguists out there commenting on pronunciation of these foods that I love..shut the hell up and be grateful the Fung Bros are exposing Malaysian food to the rest of world. To the Fung Bros..thank you..do what you do..make us all homesick for our cuisine. Peace....
OMG I think the one who is in the cover of Milo is John Paul (Japoy) Lizardo. He's a taekwondo national team player (before) but now the coach of Philippine Taekwondo team. Wow, just wow.
As a pescatarian (person who only eats shrimp & fish as their "meat" source), I am so glad to see that I can try some of these delicious looking dishes here locally in DC! :-) Now to find a good Malay restaurant....
There are veggie curries, usually ate with bryani rice... Talking about chicken curry, my family likes to put potatoes and eggplants in them. Yum. And I noticed how most of the savory food you guys tasted are sweet.... That's interesting.
