Hi, it's Ka Vee. These are my travel stories across Malaysia, Singapore and the world.
Nine Emperor Gods 九皇爺 Festival 2024 in Penang
The Nine Emperor Gods festival is one of the most important celebrations in the year for ethnic Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. The festival is known for vegetarian food, colourful parades, superhuman feats and mediums in trance.
During this year's festival (Oct 3 - 11 2024), I visited temples in Penang. In the final 3 days, I moved back and forth the island and the mainland. I ended up making three visits to the Tow Boo Kong Temple 北海斗母宫 in Butterworth. The other two temples I visited on the island were in Macallum Street Ghaut and on Burma Road.
As I learn more about this fascinating cultural heritage, I also enjoy delicious vegetarian meals at the various food stalls set up near the temples.
Admittedly, I knew very little about this festival before shooting the video. I am happy that I now know a little bit more.

24 hours in Ipoh - Most Underrated City in Asia?
มุมมอง 10Kปีที่แล้ว
I spend 24 hours in Ipoh, one of my favourite cities in Malaysia and potentially where I'll retire someday. Ipoh is an easy 2.5-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. It is known for its beautiful scenery, food and chill vibes. It doesn't lack tourist attractions. In 2022, CNN Travel named Ipoh as among the most underrated places in Asia. 00:00 Introduction 00:32 22 Hale Street 00:57 Concubine Lane 01:3...

We spend 48 hours in the historical city of Melaka to be there for the Christmas 2023 countdown at the Portuguese Settlement. Also, we visit the famous pedestrian street Jonker Walk, Klebang Beach, Kampung Morten (a traditional Malay village) and Hang Li Po Well. I went through traffic jams, heavy rain and camera malfunction. The amazing atmosphere at the Portuguese Settlement made it all worth...

River Valley - underrated but rich in heritage

River Valley is an under-the-radar part of Singapore. It is within close proximity to Singapore River, where trading took place in the early days of the British colonial era. Many buildings remain as a showcase of Singapore's diverse communities and its interesting history. Walk with me on the streets in River Valley and explore places of worship and sites of historical importance. 00:00 River ...
MacRitchie Reservoir - Singapore's oldest and biggest
มุมมอง 151ปีที่แล้ว
At the geographic centre of Singapore is MacRitchie Reservoir. Completed in 1868 to supply water, it is Singapore's oldest and biggest reservoir. The reservoir is in the Central Water Catchment, with primary and secondary forests that serve as part of Singapore's green lung and natural heritage. There are many walking trails. Watch as I start off early, take detours, get lost and fight a battle...

Chinatown Singapore is the historic landing point for many Chinese migrants. While visitors come for food and shopping, there are also many interesting places of worship. Join me as I start my walk from the financial district of Raffles Place, before going to Telok Ayer, Ann Siang Hill, Maxwell Food Centre and South Bridge Road. I share my personal impressions, history and facts about the place...

Hello @yongkavee, thank you for sharing your experience! I wanted to check with you on something regarding the traditional village celebration. Did you have to book the tour in advance with Tamil Nadu tourism board or you just walked in to their office to join tour on the same day?
Greetings from Germany! Your video is so good! Enjoy!
What date on december is this?
Wow, my brother recommended me this channel, really interesting and entertaining. Such a nice video! Me too loves Chinese parades like this. I'm a penang person so I love this. I also post these type of videos but too Introverted to do vlogs 😅
Thanks for your comment bro. Penang is a great place for parades. I'm more nervous than I think my videos show when I talk to camera haha
Wesak day?
Any specific location you would recommend? Your channel is interesting!
@@yongkavee Penang also celebrates Chingay but so far 2024 don't have
@@LimZhuinKhai527 ah, will look out for that in future
Loving this Ka Vee!!
Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more yah 😀
Hallo Ka Vee, it's Matt, your German Friend. What happend at Minute 10:52? They are fighting? Is this tradition? Can u please explain. Great Video.
Hello Matt from Germany. In the scene you mentioned, they're not fighting. The men in yellow are spirit mediums. They might occasionally make sudden movements, so they are escorted by temple members. In Malaysia, even with big crowds, things are always orderly and public fights are rare. That's because we're a peace-loving and kind society✌️. Thanks for watching, Matt!
Excellent Vlog. Thanks 🙏
Thank you for the compliment 😃
🎉Welcome to visited tamilnadu bro happy enjoying beautiful places greetings welcome to madurai pongal celebration 🎉
Thank you very much. I enjoyed my time and can't wait to visit again!
Very impressed by Malaysia’s excellent ability to keep its rich cultural heritage ! We must visit Penang (really love it) and other parts of Malaysia the next time we visit Southeast Asia !
Thanks for the comment 😀. Yes! I'm only starting to really appreciate the rich and diverse cultural heritage we have here. There's so much to see! I love Penang too. It has a great vibe. I look forward to showing you more of Penang 😃.
Well taken and well explained bro
Thank you!
The most interesting version in English of the Nine Emperor’s festival. I thought it was some mumbo jumbo festival but it turned out to be very cultural n it blends well with the multicultural society in Malaysia which is Truly Asia . Thanks for the video which shows the real Malaysia
Thanks for the compliment and for sharing your thoughts. Yes, Malaysia Truly Asia! Even as a Malaysian, it was an eye-opener for me. We have so much more cultural richness and diversity than I can imagine 😀. Even people from China are impressed.
Thanks for the informative video.
Thanks for watching!
Welcome brother
Admire your video bro, nice❤
Thanks ✌
Koodal azhagar is a precious god...its not 1000-3000 years old...they don't know when this temple was created....its like my fathers home...even today i went there ..and its my birthday today .. so nice to see you in koodal axhagar temple

Pleasure to welcome you💐 lots of love from Tamilnadu ❤
Very small number of views but your video is very informative and helpful also
pocket 3 bro?
Yes correct! :)
Which hotel your are stay I'm planing to go on this weekend? or can your please recommend the hotel
I stayed at Kinta Riverfront Hotel. It's by the river. I enjoyed my stay there
Hello, Great video ! Which area do you recommend to stay in Ipoh near convenience stores, street food markets and attractions ? Thank you so much.
Thank you! You can google "Ipoh Old Town". That would be east of the train station and along both side of Kinta River. Old Town is not big and can be covered by foot. You'll be able to find 24 hour convenience stores there.
Greetings from Tamil Nadu!! Regarding your concern for the bulls, these bulls are raised exclusively for this festival by the owner. They are treated like one of the family members and are taken care of properly. If not for jallikattu, they would be sent to slaughter house which is really bad. This age old tradition is important for this breed to survive.
Hello Venkat! Thanks for sharing your comment. Jalikattu is a very interesting experience and it's great to know the bulls are treated like family members. By the way, I can't wait to return to Tamil Nadu!
@@yongkavee you are always welcome 🤗
Thank you for the interesting facts. I really enjoyed it. Definitely gonna climb that hill soon too.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and have a good climb!
welcome to tamil nadu brother , madurai is my hometown, hope you have a nice time here. :)
Thank you! I loved Madurai and I can't wait to return to Tamil Nadu 😀
I am definitely going to spend at least ONE Christmas there very soon...back to my parental roots🙏🙏.... Im a Singaporean 🇸🇬🇸🇬Eurasian/kristang living in Switzerland🇨🇭
Thanks for sharing. Hope you get to visit Melaka very soon! I'm also hoping to catch Festa San Juan and Festa San Pedro at the Portuguese Settlement in June.
Alamak!!😮😮... 5.5hrs still driving for 100++ kms??😮... Seram!!
Yeah a bit seram! Melaka is usually 2h-2.5h away haha
I also wish that you can be my tour guide. Margaret… From New York.
As it turns out, I'm training to be a tourist guide in Malaysia 😀. Maybe I'll have the honour to guide you in Malaysia one day 😀
I love the Ipoh video, and Melaka too. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed them, Margaret. My pleasure to make them. Do try and visit Malaysia some day!
Hello.. Ka Vee, I love to watch your videos. They are very good and you’re so talented. From .. New York, Brooklyn ❤
Thanks for the compliment, Margaret! I'll keep making more 😀
When you sre stuck between Penang and KL then you won't be so popular.
Nice sir thanks to share
Thanks for watching 😀
Very nice 👍
Thank you 😀
How much was your budget for a three-day stay in Amritsar? Planning to go there in a few months. Hi by the way from Manila!
12000 rupees (equivalent to 8115 PHP) for 3 days, not including airfare. Wishing you a good time in Amritsar! Thanks for watching. I have a Manila video in the pipeline, so do subscribe and look out for it 😉
@@yongkavee Looking forward to it! And many thanks for sharing your budget (also in peso), this is truly helpful.
Hello KaVee, this is such an interesting video. I love how raw it is, without filter 😆. My husband is asking if you had tummy aches 😅 because he would definitely have plenty if he went on a eating and drinking spree like you. It's incredible how much Malaysia and India are similar. If you only showed me the clips on the shoplots, I would have easily thought we were in Brickfields 😆
Hello Ms Elaine! Thanks for watching. Nope, no tummy aches. I tried to be careful with water but I "slipped up" and had the jigarthanda drink, but it didn't cause problems, so I stuck to the same shop whenever I wanted it. I also tried to limit the amount of spicy food I had. Yes, culturally, there are many similarities between south India and Malaysia - I quickly felt at ease there. I'm looking forward to visiting again!
Nice job ❤
Thanks 😀
Nice la... now i want to get something to eat from gurdwara nearby PJ.
Ooh what's good to eat around there? 😀
Nice. Actually i like Clare very much in this video ❤ yummy 🤤
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Very nice vlog Ka Vee. But 7 degrees is not cold. It’s a typical polish summer 😂❤
