One of the most memorable experiences I had when we were in Langkawi, Malaysia, was attending a local Malaysian wedding. It happened to be wedding season in Langakawi when we were there, and our guide Wan Kash, and driver Fami, said we could just stop by at a wedding on the side of the road, just to see it and maybe eat. So while we were driving around, we found a wedding one afternoon, and stopped in. The family was extremely welcoming and invited us into their home and generously gave us a feast to eat.
Buffalo curry is one of the most well known foods to eat at a Malaysian wedding, and as soon as we arrived to the wedding the first thing I saw was the massive pan of buffalo curry slowly simmering away and being stirred not by a spoon, but by a paddle. The buffalo curry cook gave me a piece of the buffalo and it was incredibly soft and tender, and had an almost irony flavor and livery texture it was so soft. They invited us to sit down with all the cooks and the family and they soon dished us our a full wedding meal including all the dishes they were serving. There was the buffalo curry, red chicken curry, fried fish, a soup made with taro stems, and finally a yellow shredded mango salad. I scooped some of all the dishes onto my plate and got ready to start chowing down.
All the food was incredible. One of my favorite dishes at this Malaysian wedding feast was the yellow mango salad which included shredded yellow mango, peanuts, sliced Chinese long beans and shallots, and what tasted like some toasted shredded coconut. The salad had a contrast of sweet and salty, and it tasted excellent with the rice and mixture of different curries. As we were eating, one of the ladies handed us a plate of Langkawi style laksa, thick rice udon noodles topped with a pureed fish curry, mixed with slices of cucumber and onions. The curry was similar to Penang laksa, but a bit different and it had a wonderful sour flavor to it.
Our guide Wan Kash, as we were eating and making this video, showed some of the aunties our videos and youtube and they had seen that we loved durian so much. So literally, while we were still eating, someone went into the backyard of the house and picked a fresh durian, and handed me half. I knew there as durian somewhere near because of the undeniable aroma that immediately filled the outside air. The durian was perfectly ripe, sweet and butter with a slight bitter tinge.
After eating, we then got to see a little bit of the Malaysian wedding ceremony, which was incredible to see. It was an amazing experience, and I’m truly thankful for the opportunity to attend, experience, and enjoy the amazing food at this wedding in Langkawi. Thank you for the family!

Feasting at a Malaysian wedding in #Langkawi , plus don't miss the surprise #durian in the video:
Mark Wiens I love your videos, so lively like I can smell all these freshness of real Asian mouth watering treasures. Can you please do more recipes? so I can try to make them at home.
Mark Wiens my mouth is watering Mark. why don,t you visit northern areas of pakistan??
Mark Bro u just doin a great job introducing to us different culture and foods, i wish if u can come to Pakistan Northern Areas, you are great man............
Where's the bacon
Mark Wiens wow..is this the first time your trying a durian because many people who did hated it while you looked like your enjoying it instead...
I was living in Malaysia for 7 years about 18 years ago. Malaysian people are so nice and generous. They are the best Muslims in the world.
Glad you enjoy it.. Thanks bro
yeahh..malaysia soo niceee..i like it 🇦🇺
🥰🥰🥰
Now you killed them in Delhi
aye thx mate, ive seen a lot of vlogers goin to india n theres a lot of good indian people too. even poor people will gave u such a good hospitality than these elite. real talk.
I agree, Malaysian people are extremely kind and generous. Miss my Malaysian friends xx
Whoa your comment was from 2 years ago but may I know where are you from? lol
Every muslim have this ability love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
@@Helios.N I'm from the UK.
@pras kd come to Indonesia bro ☺️
👍👍👍👍
I hope that people who watch this understand that most Muslims are kind, hospitable, and generous people even when they don't have much. Food can unite us....stop the hate.
+Just Trash Then watch Mark Wiens tour of Palestine.. Middle eastern people are the most hospitable and generous people on earth. You people have biases without having any practical experience. First travel through middle east, then post your opinion.
I'd have to agree, that kind of hospitality would never ever happen in Australia.
Google User or here in New Zealand.
Amy Rivers Omg I'm dreaming to go to NZ. Two years from now... if God wills.
homsabaidee homsabaidee u sound racist too
I was in langkawi for only 3 days and I can tell you they are marvellous people and very humble and I grab this opportunity to say Assalamoualaikoum to all people of langkawi and maybe one day I may get invited in a wedding in langkawi InchaAllah...you are very lucky Mark all the best from Mauritius
If you want to try the "Malay Wedding food " - schedule your holiday on our school holiday season , there will be many wedding ceremony at that time.
wow..welcoming and feeding complete strangers in their wedding...Malaysians are extremely nice people
+Julio Lui ..wedding meals open to all including strangers.. u r most welcome to any weeding lunch without invitation... any body and i mean anybody....
gotta luv em
@@AILI1511 your statement is wrong.
@@AILI1511 we invite people only who we know like family, friends and neighbourhood for wedding party . But we can invite if the owner invited anybody who owner want even the owner doesn't know that people . Get the fact first .
I'm a Malaysian and if i could get married again, i would choose to do the ceremony in my kampung (village) instead of hotel bcs, i love how the peoples in kampung gathering and work together for your wedding, they cook together, laugh and eat together, get to know each other, work on your wedding together without hoping you to pay them bcs they just want to help you and enjoy your wedding. The budget you spent for wedding in hotel, you could feed more than 1000 guest in kampung.
The people in Malaysia are generous and friendly too. It’s a good place for holidays with all these foods!
Its a Malay Wedding! And everyones invited to eat stranger, family and friend! Its a blessing to share food so all you who come visit Malaysia and if you happen to chance pass-by a Malay wedding done open air in the city or the village ,all is welcome! P.s. weddings at hotels or halls are mostly based on invite so those are RSVPs and not walk-in weddings.
Shah Esfelazi Thank you for sharing Shah, an amazing culture, and so many generous people.
Mark Wiens they were so generous...they don't really care who we are.....if you are finding you friend house during their wedding, you might got into wrong house......you will only notice that you got the wrong house when the bride came....especially during wedding season that is school holiday where there is lot of wedding a each villages.....
They are the Malaysian Muslim wedding may Allah keep them together beautiful family. I'm Muslim American that was Mashallah. all Muslim kind and generous and helpful
Abu Bilal , I wanna be friends with you, I'm from India, my name is umar muqtar

Bryan Chang 😂😂
If you hear clearly in the background, those makciks are impressed with your ability to eat rice using your hand.
Man, that was an authentic Malay wedding. You are very lucky having to experience that!
Incredible hospitality, such kind people. I was literally mouthwatering when that durian showed up on my screen!
pdude1911 Thank you, amazing people!
These videos just melt my heart. The joy and generosity! It reminds me that most people are good. I think if more people saw these videos, the hateful political rhetoric would end. Thank you for bringing the world together Mark!

Well said
Very well said 👌🏼
You have said what is in my heart. Thank you for saying it again.
👍👍
Mark is so humble and always smiling. I never dislike his videos! All mouth-watering xD
***** I have to second that. He has a pleasant personality, try his best not to hurt or insults people/culture while giving comment. He rather focus on things he likes than things he hate.

Malays are wonderful people! My favourite holiday destination.
That was absolutely fantastic! What a beautiful culture and a warm, friendly, generous demeanour these people have.
Looks like you had a lovely time Mark.
Also loved the wedding attire. The bride looked beautiful and the matching colour scheme her husband had was really cute.
Keep it up!!
fatema hammoud Thank you Fatema, it was a real honor to attend this wedding, they were so generous.
lek hebat sngt puji tu sis
That is real Islam: Generosity & Kindness...
i am now already for half a year in germany damn rindu sgt dengan langkawi makanan n budaya kita ...

his expression make me feel proud of my country's food .
i do insanely love my country's food ,but the way he eat , make me fall in love deeper with my country's cuisine😊
Mark. I have been watching each and every video of yours for years! Today I came out of my silence and comment for the first time. You inspire me to travel more. You are like my mentor.
Smith
smithalmighty Hey Smith, thank you very much for your support, and also for leaving a comment, it's great to hear from you. Glad we share a passion for food and travel!
malays r known for their rich culture n generousity very very kind people..i always love to be there in the village atmosphere
Why would anyone want to give this a thumbs down ? Mark your a humble guy and it shows nice people meet nice people , really enjoy watching your vids dude take care and the Lord bless you and your family Ameen
all4one together4all Thank you very much, really appreciate it!
the aunties at the back .."pandai makan dgn tangan?tgok pndai makan dgn tangan nuhh"...and the noise at the wedding...ohh my..I miss that kind of memories so muchhh..
nasib xde yg kta "boleh buat menantu ni"
+HuHue hahaha..
hahahaha
what that means?
Mohammad Faiz pandai makan dgn tangan means good at eating with the hands 😄 usually being malays, melayu..we eat rice with our hands (right) rather than use fork n spoon..well depends on which one ur more comfortable using. i find food to be tastier,sedap when eating using my hand,tangan.. 😄 especially if the meal has chicken,chicken wing in it. hihi
People are friendly here in Canada but that is above and beyond kindness. How wonderful for you to be welcomed to the wedding and that yumalicious food.
JANICE BALL Thank you Janice, yes I fully agree, the people are what made it such an amazing experience.
JANICE BALL , hi I'm from India, and coming to Canada next year
What I love about Mark is he is able to adjust everywhere and he is so much respecful to different cultures. It is always a pleasure watching him and his food trips! All the very best Mark! We absolutely love you.
I love how you immerse yourself to the local tradition and culture, ex. eating with your hand. It really shows a great deal of appreciation
saye sangat suke food malaysian nasi lemak, sambal ikan bilis , laksa , bila nak makan dimalaysia kuala lumpur lagi, bila saya transit malaysia kemacao selalu makan nasi lemak sedap
di indonesia pn ada nasi lemak..melayu sumatera..melayu riau...melayu kalimantan mkn nasi lemak juga

Mark you have a magical personality ... your presence makes everyone happy :)
He doesn't have a single mean bone apparently...wish more people were that way in our world ☺👍💝
One of the most heart warming vlog of yours, Mark..
They were kind to you because you ARE a kind soul.
Just keep spreading the joy with these amazing vlogs..
How incredible that these generous people welcomed you as they did.
It always amazes me when people can be so kind and thoughtful as this family was.
Congrats to the newlyweds.
I would love to try a fresh Durian )
tigergreg8 Thank you, yes an incredible and generous family, they are what made the wedding so memorable.
people in northern Malaysian is much friendly
I was born in Malaysia but live & work in Singapore. My families are living both in Malaysia & Singapore. However, I still travel back regularly because of the yummilicious food!!!, family, Malaysian hospitality & the rich culture. No matter where I go... Malaysia is still in my heart.
I was in malaysia for 1.5 years and they invited me for wedding 2 times. i lived in other western countries for another 10 years. and only one from my own culture. malay are different. collective culture. less selfish. kinder .i dont know if this is the impact of a combination of their culture and religion
***** You are too nice. Actually, Malay have all kinds of people too. The bad, the good and the ugly (in attitude). But still, I'm happy that you feel generally good during your stay in Malaysia.
thanks. yes. i was among the good people. i compared the same type of people (nature of work) in malaysia and other places.
***** weddings are a personal thing for people in the west. Im not really a wedding person but i only plan on inviting my close friends over for dinner. That and im not made of money to feed everyone.
that s what i say.you said it in your comment. it s MUCH more common for eastern people to feed each other and practice collective gatherings although they may not be even as rich as people in west. this makes them happy people compared to a self-focused version of west.i saw more inner joy there.
***** Um, So im coming off as selfish if i dont?
you can go to any malay wedding that take place at their home even if you are not invited because the amount of foods they prepared usually can feed whole village ^^ unlike wedding at hotel or wedding hall.
Im.a Malaysian....ya Malays respect others...humble kind...sharing.n caring are their priority.thy used to share foods wt family friends n even guests.
Biar betul?org malay kawin budget makanan cukup2 utk jemputan..

As a Malaysian who's studying abroad right now, watching this makes me miss home so badly! :D I miss Malaysian food!
Siti Hanis Thank you for watching Siti, hope you can come home to visit soon!
Mark Wiens you're welcome :) I will come home soon for Ramadhan and Eid. If you're staying in Malaysia until Eid then you'll be able to enjoy the Eid feast. Also there will be a lot of open house which usually would welcome anyone to enjoy the feast :D
Miss Nez sabosbikee jool k Indo Ni Sian well cooking I think /undestood von /Indonesian friend paarth_looys brown(see thaa)
Mark is one of the most wonderful person I have seen in this world.. Your smile your generosity graciousness kindness all these things make me a fan of yours.. May u shine very very bright always.... from India😊
.
Malaysia is truly the paradise of food.very tasty colourful combination of food.
There is nothing pleasure than "travel, food & love"....
Malaysia is definitely still in my bucket list :)
Jen S Glad to hear that, but in order to really experience Malaysia, you gotta mingle and meet people of the "kampung", and maybe have a taste of their life, and dont forget foods, Malaysian food is awesome! haha
The best food place in Malaysia is in Kelantan (my opinion) after going there my family and I gain 5kg 😂😂😂😂 it's so good that you won't stop from eating 😆👍
+KeiDude18 more informations about Kelantan cuisini and the best restauran
tbh everywhere over there is good...
come to sabah.. theres lot yummy food here for sure
Mark, The bride and groom are beautiful. I loved the color of their clothing. I have never heard of people in America inviting strangers to the their wedding feast. We could learn a lot about sharing from Malaysia. Money rules in the USA. The food looked delicious no matter if is curry or not. Love to you and your beautiful wife. Thanks!
Want to hear something funny? Sometimes the guest would accidentally go to the wrong house and gate crash someone else's wedding because there were a few receptions going on in the same vicinity. But no one really minds; they won't turn you away. It's really embarrassing for the guest but no one minds.
+Suzieana Uda Nagu Thank you for your answer. I wish more people would be that generous!
thats because, in Malaysia(or in Islam in general), wedding is for announcing public people that one couple is married, and also to feed poor people... so even strangers are welcome to come.. the marriage shall be simple, but merrier with food...
It is very common in Malaysia to invite people from around the area to come and enjoy the feast. We do send invitations but if the wedding is in the village or in the housing area, anyone can basically crash it and have some food. But if it is in a fancy hotel or restaurant than that is a different story....(and I think this only applies to Malays weddings in general).
Donna Copas it is normal for Malays to invite not only their relatives and friends, but also their neighbours and some 'accidental guess'. Back then there was a day when I went to a wrong wedding ceremony, but rather walking me out of the place, the father of the bride invited me and my friends to eat before leaving.
Mark and Ying, Wow! What a great experience! They are such generous, gracious and a giving people. You are very lucky. The food looked incredible. Buffalo curry :) Congrats to the Bride and Groom.
Tess Cooks 4u Thank you Tess!
Fantastic to see such good hospitable people. Humanity is still alive!
What a great opportunity to have more eyes into the Langkawi Malaysian culture, beautiful people, wonderful food, and your experiences there were indeed, top-notch! I so greatly appreciate seeing your attitudes, your demeanor in these exotic lands!! I applaud you for your travels, and for again, being an Ambassador of Goodwill, Mark!

Looks like an amazing experience! How hospitable and kind were they to invite you to their wedding ^.^ I wish the bride and the groom a blessed life together x
I too like malaysian people they are very friendly i had worked their for 3 years and trying again to go their work for malaysia...
Im glad you are enjoying our culture and our food. Yes. U couldn't come to a better place than that "kampung" (village) wedding. That is Malay culture all together...
And if I may add, we dont pick durians. It falls onto the ground when it ripens. So yeah. Hehe. Hope u are enjoying your stay..
Here is a "pantun" (rythme poem for u) ;
Terima kasih daun keladi,

Mark wiens is the man who knows to digest and salivate foods. This is one man I envy most. Keep eating!

Hey Mark you are amazing. Love the way you enjoy every culture’s food without any kind of disrespect. Your feelings are so genuine. Great attitude. After Anthony show it is your videos I have started following religiously. You mingle with the people irrespective of their culture, social status and you enjoy their company. Keep it up and will keep encouraging you.

This is how you do backpacking travel..you dig the culture. you go the places people do not often go. then you found the beauty of one country.

Mark, thank you for the beautiful comment on Malaysian food. Hope you come to Malaysia again. Peace & love from Malaysia.
i dont know how delicious it is but its amazing with your expressions.
Enjoyed the Malaysian culture/wedding shown in the video. appreciate if you could include many such culture, festivals , functions and celebrations in all your travel videos across the globe
I so badly want to taste durian fruit! You love it and make it look so appetizing. I've seen others that can't stomach it. But by the taste and texture description, I think I'd like it. I love fruit. Thank you for the vlog!❤️
Michelle W durian tastes like a rotting bin juice with the texture of soft butter. Imagine eating a table spoon of room temperature butter that tastes like bin juice
Man, you've just made me miss those local food even more, especially the gulai daging or "buffalo" which is the spotlight of any wedding or new year celebration. And the durian at the end was just too creamy and satisfying.
I didn't know why, but this episode is one of my favorite episode that Mark Wiens have done and I think I have watched this episode for about hundred's of time. Can't wait for Mark Wiens come to Langkawi again..
The durian piece was lush ... and Mark could not contain his excitement! His eyes looked as if they were going to pop out and his face was flushed. I could see that he was really enjoying the tasty food and heavenly taste of durian. Envy you Mark as I love foooddddd .... 😄
langkawi is my favorite place in malaysia
eventhough i am a malaysian, extremely jealous with what you're eating right now and the faces you made just extremely plesant to see. coz it's glad to see you enjoy malaysian food especially durian..
I can definitely say this is my favourite video of you.
His signature-expression came out in all the dishes..
Wow really nice people and such a great experience. Cheers!
