Hi guys 👋🏼 just wanted to say, we did do our research regarding the food and cuisines so we apologise if we got it wrong, some people are agreeing it’s a mixture of different cuisines others are telling us it’s completely wrong so we are sorry if we offended you. In regards to comparing some food to the Philippines, we are based there and most of our audience are from there, we simply wanted them to know what it’s similar to and encourage them to come try it 😊 we don’t think Malaysian dishes are similar to the Philippines at all just some of the street snacks are similar 😊🙏🏼 thank you for the support
I don't think it is an offence when we mentioned the similarity or differences about anything between different countries ..we all different anyway ... imagine everything is the same....how boring life would be ....haiyaa....
No we are not offended...its ok to give your Filipino audiences your review so that at least they know roughly how the food taste. Actually the ingredients we use throughout Southeast Asia are the same but added ingredients maybe different and different style of cooking..so thats why some food taste almost similar. I think some people commented because they just want to clarify and educate so that you don't get misinformed..thats all. Sometimes google search may not be entirely correct concerning local food...the best is to ask the locals..so interaction with the locals is important..you will learn a lot. No worries,most Malaysians speak English.
for the black drink, you should drink without the straw as the drink are meant to be drink with the fruit/jelly inside. it might be unusual for sume culture as you drink and eat at the same time. haha.
Your boyfriend’s face is soooo everywhere here in Malaysia. He reminds me of some handsome malays faces from east coast like tganu and kelantan. Yea this is a compliment!
8:43 Nasi Lemak is actually a representation of Malaysia..we’re combination of different ethnicities that together makes a nation but still features unique characteristics on its own
The tips to eat any meal in malaysia is to MIX them all and then eat them. You do not eat food in the same plate separately. Trust me it taste heavenly if you do it that way 😬
You should not compare it with Filipino food, because I have been there and the food is totally different and unique to Malaysia. Most of the ingredients are totally different too. Each country has their own unique food. So the ones you tried were uniquely Malaysian. Cheers from 🇵🇭
Sorry if you thought we were comparing, we were simply saying what we thought it tasted similar too (especially the soy bean drink) so our Filipino audience would know what it tasted like, most of the food we tasted was street food but again is very different as Philippines is mostly meat street food and this isn’t! I’d agree that the main dishes such as roti nasi lemak etc is nothing like Filipino food sorry for confusion 😊
We do have several similar kind of dishes tho. Sinigang = singgang. Chicken adobo = ayam masak kicap. Patupat = ketupat. And few others haha after all Filipinos and Malays are still from the same region and greater race. Cheers!
Another kind of ikan bilis commonly called anchovies in Malaysia is white baits. THE SHRIMP PASTE IS ACTUALLY SAMBAL, CILI COOKED WITH ONION AND SHRIMP PASTE, and tamarind juice no tomatoes in it. If you taste lemongrass in the rice, maybe the cook do put lemongrass in it, but nasi lemak usually is rice, coconut milk and pandan leaves.
Could definitely taste the coconut in there, maybe it was the pandan leaves I was tasting, I’ve never had pandan leaves so wouldn’t know what they taste like to identify it 😊 we really liked our nasi lemak 😋
@@ZoeCzar I would say it was the lemon grass flavor that you were having....the pandan leaf actually doest have taste...it just gives you the very nice aroma to the coconut rice ...similar to vanilla extract that gives nice aroma to a cake
@@ZoeCzar Different places have different recipes for their rice. But the basics are rice, coconut milk to make it creamy and pandan leaves for aroma. If it was me, I'd add lightly sautéed shallots for sweetness and ginger to contrast the coconut milk.
@@mujahidgoodguy Yup, if it's me, I would put shallots, garlic, lemongrass, halba and add coconut milk, pandan leaves for aroma, and measure as usual in rice coooker and DING! It's done 🤣 Johorean here 😊
my nasi lemak will going straight to hell due to "disobey" the original receipe.. mine will be thai fragrance rice, coconut milk, pandan leaf, pintch of salt, tea spoon of olive oil and dried raisin 😂
The black drink is herbal tea. The sweetness come from the dried mata kuching (similiar to longan). Its good for remove heatiness & other benefits. That stall is very famous. Biz there for few generation. Here the 3 main race is malay, chinese & indian. Thats why u can see authentic chineses, malay & indian food and also mixture. Will take mths to try all. Hehe.
Hi Zoe, different nasi lemak sellers will have slightly different variations of it especially the sambal or sauce. Some will cook it spicy, some sweet and spicy, some more sweet than spicy. So if you have the chance, do go it another go yes. I'm very sure that you'll find the version which you will love. Cheers ☺
You two make an awesome team! Love the way you both describe your experiences and feed off each other’s energy. A amazing couple, thanks for sharing your journey.
The black drink ismata kucing which is actually longan. I think they cook it together with monk fruit(lo Han Kuo) which is naturaly sweet even without sugar.
the black drink you had is Monk fruit herbal tea. The sweetness comes from monkfruit, the balls displayed underneath the ice box at the stall. Monkfruit is also now a popular sugar alternative in health stores (kind of like stevia). And the fruit they threw in is Longan.
The soya bean drink. I think it's more to grass jelly than pearl 😊 Oh yeah. When you eat the nasi lemak, you need to mix everything. Take the fried anchovies, shrimp paste (which we call “ sambal “), and rice together in one spoon. By the way, I hope you enjoy your brief stay in Malaysia 🇲🇾 😊
Great video! Please explore more in KL, Malacca, Ipoh or Penang in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah & Sarawak in East Malaysia. 3 main races in Malaysia: Malay Chinese Indian On top of that we have Iban, Kadasan, Portuguese, baba nyonya & etc like a melting pot. Within each race, there are many dialects and cuisines. Our National language is Malay, but all of us multilingual so English, Chinese, Tamil are very common. We have seas, islands, mountains, rain forests, tea plantations, shopping malls and many more for you guys to explore. Welcome to Malaysia and enjoy the country to the max!
Peninsula also has kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, negeri sembilan, Pahang but foreigners tend to skip these and only hangout at places like China towns in penang/malacca/KL/ipoh
Oooo that sounds delicious, thank you for that we will look out for it as we’ve just arrived back and this time have much longer to explore Malaysia 🇲🇾
If you can't really take hot spicy food, then if the dish comes with *sambal,* ask them to serve the *sambal* separately in a small plate or small bowl whatever, so when you eat, you can try mixing just a little bit of the *sambal* with the rice or whatever main dish at first. Usually they'll oblige. Now if the dish is cooked together with the *sambal,* as in mixed together inside instead of the *sambal* being a side accompaniment, for example the traditional dish *nasi goreng kampung (village fried rice),* then you can ask for the dish to be prepared *kurang pedas* for you *(pedas = chilli/spicy hot, kurang = less)* _Note: you can ask if a dish is _*_pedas_*_ or medium pedas etc_
actually petaling street is kind of boring and lame if you see many other vlogger there all go petalimg street but malaysia real best street food is pasar malam or night market you ask local where and when nearest to your hotel..
@@ZoeCzar to be precise its malaysian chinese actually in the petaling street dont worry there will be night market on saturday and sunday maybe you will bump 1..
Malaysia is food haven of asia...or perhaps the world...they got malay, chinese, indian, thai, arab n western food...n of course fusion of all these...due to the diversity of races there...where else in the world can u have these?
Hehehe a lot of people say that, we just came back for a few weeks and already so many people speak to me in Malay thinking I can understand haha! Wasting nasi lemak right now 😋
Try laksa next time. We have Penang Laksa, Johore Laksa and Sarawakian Laksa... just glad that at least there is yet one nation trying to claim it as their nation's dish... unlike chicken rice, nasi lemak..... Here in Malaysia, every state's cooking is uniquely different. East Coast itself, no others can beat the nasi kerabu, nasi dagang , nasi berlauk, laksam and many more delicacies... you guys need to stay longer to explore and add on kilos too...
Some food from Philippines or malaysian dish maybe its quite similar because its comes from same region but maybe its taste a bit difference, just explore it guys I'm quite curious about it Happy exploring ya, have a good day and stay safe Take care yaa
In Malaysia only you can find any couisine or food.. east west and Asian foods are available.. you can't find it in other part of the world.. Tasty and healthy and of course reasonable price too 👍❤️🇲🇾✌️😎
@@ZoeCzar And not to forget Laksa, it is one of the 4th main signature dishes of the country apart from the other 3 mentioned. It is a staple food for each state in Malaysia as in each state has their own different type and taste of Laksa. Happy eating and exploring if you guys are still here in Malaysia!
welcome to Malaysia, dude. Is your bf origin from Thailand? He looks like Thai from South. Too much of hidden gem good foods in Chinatown. Try to approach the local people there and ask them wheres the good foods. Im sure they will share wiz you. The black drink its really popular in chinatown and it has been decades there. Its called Mata Kucing in malay with chinese herbal its good for body for cooling and etc.
Czar is from the Philippines 😊 hahaha yeah we were told by the staff at our condo to come to petaling street! I’m sure there is way more places to go to try more food we still have so much to try 😊
Dank! That apam balik look so good and i can even taste it from Sarawak. i havent eat Peanut apam balik for awhile now i mean 2020 until now... I can say the older generation that can cook really nice food. Appreciate them ok.... Older cook the better taste
Try nasi lemak with chicken or beef rendang....they made a good combination....you can head to Wanjo restaurant at Kampung Baru for that ....or Bangsar Village or Nasi lemak Tanglin
@@ZoeCzar Yes, visit Kampung Baru to experience the Malay food and hotspot.. You can walk to Kampung Baru from KLCC thru the beautiful Saloma Bridge 🌉
@@ZoeCzar the basic nasi lemak is rice,boiled egg,sambal,anchovies and cucumber... The others are side dishes...so the price will be different according to what side dishes you are taking ....btw please try the chicken or beef rendang with your nasi lemak ...
Yes we didn’t get a chance to try the Indian food because our flight got cancelled to KL and the rebooked flight left us with just 2 days instead of 5 but we will definitely be back to try more food 😍😋
Yeah I’m sure it was lemon grass glad to see some people are saying some people do cook it with lemon grass 🙏🏼 I was starting to think I was tasting weird ahaha
Malaysia here Done watching your video. 🤍 Next time try find Rendang Meat, Pulut (yellow sticky rice) with curry, Kebab 🥙, Cendol (it's like a water with some mix jelly), and ofcoz try Durian! 😂 Durian have some type, try find Durian Mustang King, it's a bit expensive but it was delicious. ✌🏻
Next time you enjoy 'nasi lemak'.. mix the sambal with nasi.. They put alot sambal..but dont mix it all.. you can adjust how it is just for your taste..
go to nearby "pasar malam" (night market) to sample good food with very good value for money, but not at jalan alor as it's a tourist place so it's tourist price as well
The Chinese donut is really good, best if eaten when fresh and crispy. It's a typical dim sum food, often dipped into soy milk or coffee. Also, there are some spots that serve nasi lemak on a coconut leaf, that's how it's traditionally served.
Tip for almost all Malaysian food - MIX EVERYTHING TOGETHER before you take a bite. This is not like western food where each thing is meant to be tasted separately. It's like our culture - mix it all up and it'll blow your mind.
But if you can't stand hotness of chilli, then as a start mix only a little bit of the sambal, or curry gravy (either reddish/brownish or yellow colored gravy) otherwise it may spoil the rest of your meal
I just don't agree.....I would advise you to taste a bit of everything FIRST before you mixing everything....for example you can control your level of spiciness ,sourness,sweetness depending on first bite of sambal....how salty the anchovies are...after that first bite then only you mix everything according your preferred taste ...and I don't really like sambal to be poured onto my rice .....I prefer it to be placed on the side
Thats good guy's tasting different kind of food is the very best experience because you will discover each country have different varieties and thier uniqueness and its taste
Yes... That how to tell everyone you from Philippine. Without telling you from Philippine." Just compared everything to Philippine." That good idea.. 🤣😂 by the way. Hope you enjoy exploring diversity in Malaysia. ✌️
Because most of our audience is from the Philippines we wanted them to know what it’s similar to and try promote them to come if they can 🙏🏼 Malaysian dishes are nothing like Philippines but the street snacks are similar 😊
the black drink comes from fruit.. local call that fruit 'mata kucing'.. the inside is the flash from the fruit.. mata kucing is the family of longan fruit.
I saw yr clip with the barber that charged you RM120. I belief that barber is not even Malaysian. Bangladeshi or Pakistani. You should have not paid him more than his advertisement. Let him be angry.... we see what happened. People like this tarnish our country.
Ooo that’s sounds amazing we will definitely put it on the list for when we come back to Malaysia (we will be back) but this trip we only had time for KL
Zar look like local no wonder most of ur video they spoke Malaysian language 😂.anyway different Nasi lemak taste every single restaurant.it depends.some sambal are really spicy some sweet.depending.anyway I enjoyed watch u eating em🤗
I have many Filipino friends , thats the reason I can speak a little bit of Tagalog , Tagalog and Malay language some of the words are quite similar example ilung ( tagalog ) malays hidung ( nose )
@@ZoeCzar Not at jalan alor, it is meant for tourist so it is quite pricey, maybe try the one in Jln TAR (5 - 10 pm) or Kg Baru (6 pm to 1 am) which is still in the city centre, both on Saturday..
It's crazy to me how you guys described and eat nasi lemak as a foreigner. Me feeling so familiar with the food is kind of mind blown but no hate hahahaha
Hi guys , you’re always welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾. Glad you’re both here. Just read a post on @worldofbuzz and wish to apologise for the inconvenience you both had to go through at the barber places💈 on your visit. Just wish to apologise on behalf of the entire Malaysia for what you went through and just so you know, the barber isn’t a local. Sincerely sorry and do come again in future 😅
I dont know if you were comparing the soy milk drink with those jellies to Taho from the Philippines, but Tau Fu Fah is the exact same thing except without the sago pearls! They sell it at that soya milk stall too :)
Rarely you gonna find good quality anchovies used in nasi lemak dish..coz good quality anchovies are expensive..but ofcourse more delicious and not that hard too chew.
Nasi lemak is so delicious, we actually just found the stall on a random road! But we just arrived back in Malaysia and looking for some suggestions 🙏🏼
@@ZoeCzar I just put ginger, sliced onion and pandan leaf and of course, the coconut milk when I cook nasi lemak 😊 You should try the authentic nasi lemak at Wanjo Kampung Baru
At night, look for burger stall around you. Ask for burger ramlee (burger double special). No 1 street food in Malaysia. And dont forget to try Roti John
Correction....not a combination of Chinese, Indian and Thai....d correct one is Chinese, Indian and malays.....Thai food belong to Thailand and Malaysian food belongs to Malaysian....don't get mixed up ya and pls do some researched.....thx and njoy d stay
@@ZoeCzar d origin of Malaysian food if from d 3 main ethnic which is Malays d largest followed by Chinese second largest and Indian d third and besides this 3 main ethnic there's a small ethnic as well which most of them are in Sabah and Sarawak or u can called it East Malaysia.....Yes there's Thai restaurant, Vietnamese restaurant, Korean Restaurant, Japanese restaurant, Indonesian restaurant etc in Malaysia but there are not d direct influenced of Malaysian food....d direct influenced of Malaysian food is from d 3 main ethnic as I mentioned earlier and they are Malaysian....also don't get mixed up between Malaysian malays and Indonesian because it's not d same even though d skin, d height, d facial, d body etc are look d same....of coz most Malays and Indonesian was from Malay Achipelago thts why they look similar from one another....
@@ZoeCzar yes....the pancake is what we called Apam Balik....it has a crunchy@thin version with the same topping...crushed peanuts ,sugar and sweet corn ...but nowadays people came out with fancy topping as well ,, chocolate,cheese,etc....in Indonesia they call it Murtabak instead..
