I love sarah becuz she just wants to introduce the best, she tells the food with recipes and the prices, i would really like her visiting the spanish cuisine in Malaysia
so charismatic and of course beautiful presenter
Love hearing Cantonese being spoken. Can’t wait to visit KL in the near future
Dear Sara,I missed all the delicious Malaysian food since I can't go back for holidays to Malaysia ever since the coronavirus pandemic started last year.Your video make me mouth watering and hungry especially the KL Petaling Hokkien Mee and the raw fish porridge at Hon Kee.Btw the name is very correct and this porridge stall is also highly recommended at Tripadvisor too!Just to informed you and all of your subscribers too!Anyway I wished to return soon to Malaysia after my vaccine jab!Thanks alot for the food blog and you are a great food ambassador for Malaysia too!
Hello! Yes it’s so unfortunate that so many Malaysians can’t come home. I miss my family and friends who I’m suppose to see this year for many celebrations. I was looking for Hon Kee but accidentally ended at Yooi Kee. Tho I didn’t regret eating there. Fish was fresh, and people were so friendly! When I go next I’ll double check and maybe make another video. Thanks for taking the time to drop encouraging comments. Hope you get to come home soon. See you around!
Malaysian food is sooooooooo underrated. Love from Bangkok.
Nice to hear people speaking Cantonese keep up the good work, 😍
Thanks Sara for stirring up memories of my daily passage through Madras Lane. Can't wait till travel is lifted to
relive some great years of my life. VI old dude.
Ah! Where are you now? And what did you like to eat at Petaling Street as a student?
Ive been work in malaysia for 3 years
And i still remmeber how good and cheap kolo mee,laksa,nasi lemak, and not forget the musang king.. love it
Oh yes! So much good food here and they don't have to cost a lot
@@sara_khong You have no idea of costs when everything at Madras Lane were 20-50 sen per item. Haha.
@@sara_khong Yes, coming from Australia, the food in KL is so cheap, nice size portions and ohhhhh so tastyyyyy!! :D
I miss KL.
We have one hawkers food centre over here, in Perth, but food taste and price is not the same as KL.
I would love to live and work in KL ... so jealous la! Heh hehh ;)
11:20 - Wow.... I've heard that loud broadcast every time I went to KL Chinatown and did not know what it was all about. Thanks for the information!! I will visit her stall once things get back some normality post COVID.
Yes, please. She was complaining about bad business and painful legs. Poor lady
Can't believe the current situation in Chinatown! I went there back in Jan 2020. It was so crowded I couldn't even find empty stalls or stalls without big big lines to sit and eat! And now it looks like a normal neighborhood market! Oh wow 😳 Thanks a lot for showing so many foods and stalls in KL Chinatown!
Yup! It's easier to order food nowadays. No queues. But bad for the vendors. A lot of them told me that business is bad. Sad. Must go and patronise them more! and you're welcome :) Subscribe to see more food recommendations 👉 th-cam.com/channels/Cjt8_9f7q2BnPA6myUZIbg.html
Great video! Really appreciate that you covered a lot in a 24 minutes video & more importantly, you take care to not only tell us the name of the shops but also show us the storefronts AND often show us where there are situated in relation to each other or other places. Many of us aren’t locals and this is a big help.
Hi Sara, I’m Joe Tang from Singapore. I missed all the Chinatown food because of this COVID-19 restriction otherwise I used to take a flight to KL almost most of my weekend off day. Purposely used to stay at Ancasa Hotel on most of my trip to KL so that it’s within walking distance from this hotel to Chinatown. Otherwise I used to stay at Hotel around Jln Bukit Bintang. Hope to catch up all your recommeded foods in KL soon. Cheers 🥂
Hello Joe! What do you normally eat at Chinatown? Let me now if I missed anything. This time you can try Four Points by Shereton. I had an enjoyable stay and it's much more nearer than other places. Yes, hopefully things will go back to normal soon and we can travel/eat freely :)
@@sara_khong Hi Sara, my apology. I just saw your message. Your video on KL Petaling Street food were quite detailed. I used to have my breakfast at Petaling street most of the time before moving off for my shopping at Bukit Bintang areas. For breakfast there is a store in one of the lane that sell wanton noodle and I always order an extra plate of roasted pork. One of my favorite is the fried black noodle at supper time. Wondered where’s the location of four point Sheraton? Another stall which I used to patronize is the pork rib shop or Bak Kut teh along Ipoh road. (Can’t remember the name) but within walking distance from the Hotel Royal.
Hope everything will return to normal so that I can travel to KL again to meet up with my friends.
I love your videos. You are very detailed and not like the others who are good only in the oooohs and aaaaahs with very little descriptions. More power to you!!!!
Another awesome episode of the beautiful ladies showing us the beautiful foods of Malaysia!
More to come!
I miss Malaysia can not wait to go back
Me too. I love Malay food but also the Singaporean dishes are better over there than in Singapore from what I found. :D
The joke among Malaysians is that 'Singaporean dishes' comes from Malaysia 😂
Hopefully soon!
I still remember the 1st time I arrived in KL, coming off the recently-opened North-South Highway, in the evening, from Singapore in August, 1993, the city was SO DARK, There was no Petronas Towers, no Suria KlCC. no Mandarin Oriental, no Bukit Bintang, no massive shopping malls, and only a couple of newly built, modest office towers in the Golden Triangle; we stayed at the Imperial Hotel and for a little relaxation went across the street to the Hard Rock Cafe. where the band was terrible. During the four days in KL, we did go to some great restaurants and had some terrific food and I fell in love with the city. However, it was all so new to me, that 28 years later I can't remember where we eat. I am sure some of these establishments are still extant.
Looks like you need to pay Kuala Lumpur another visit once the pandemic is over. I still remember KL being very dark, and even misty in the morning when I was a child. KL has developed so quickly. It's so different now - we have a lot of new hipster cafes, many local artisanal brands, new Malaysian-style fine dining restaurants. But I'm glad what you've missed - eg. great food is still very much here.
Thank you for sharing this video. And congratulations !!!
You're welcome. I had fun making it. Good excuse to all my favourite street food non-stop :p Thank you!
Let me know if you have any comments/tips to improve!
Fantastic documentary of tantalising Malaysian dishes. Indeed inviting! Thanks for sharing
Thank you. This is the first time someone describe my video as a documentary
@@sara_khong 😊 it is indeed well compiled. You're welcome
I'm a Singaporean and have moved to UK. Malaysia has the most delicious Chinese food. It makes me salivate and miss Chinese food even more after watching the videos.
You cover so much of Petaling Street in one video. Good job!
One of the best videos presentation with all description of dishes. Cudos to her
Great video and thanks for sharing this 😍
You’re welcome. Which on the list would you like to eat? I’m always curious what other people would choose
Thank u soooo much for sharing us this lovely video👍🏻😍
You’re welcome. Come to KL one day and try these food yourself!
I'm your new subscriber friend nice shareing
Old wives' tale. But I've learned that science is young, and some old wives' tale passed down from generations has wisdom in it despite not being studied/researched/proven. My belief is old wives tale doesn't hurt/ go against science, just follow
21:20 - tip for anyone in Perth, West Aust, if you're missing KL pastries and want Egg Tart, Kaya Puff, Siew Pao etc etc please visit Master Chang's Bakeries. OMG!! Pastries are so good and tasty. Egg Tart so flaky.
If I ever move to Perth, I know who to contact when I miss Malaysian food 😂
Hey Sarah, it says your video is suggesting mine 🤣🤣 so thanks for that! Great video!
Not me, TH-cam's algorithm! Thank you :)
Great video Sara Khong,big like and thanks for the video 👍👍
Hi Sara. All your vlogs are awesome. You are very good looking and your presentation is perfect and your edit is very good. Greetings to you and to your beautiful mom
Thank you. Much to learn!
Another great video from beautiful Sara
Thank you for always watching my videos! 😊
@@sara_khong I love them
I award you the best golden charismatic gorgeous eyes food presenter 2021
Just became a fan of your channel, thank you so much for sharing
Wow nice. I love your video
This gave me the confidence to try the street food in Chinatown! Loved the Hokkien Mee!
Sara deserves much more than just 5K subs. She is such a good food hunter.
Thank you!
I’m sure it will grow ... these days with TH-cam being so big it takes time for people to find you ... if you keep working hard you will make it ..👍
@@GrAsSMoPer I will! 💪
Yes, and she does a good job of speaking. Very informative video.
@@believer7280 Thank you! What kind of information in particular did you like? Speaking as in common of English, or explanation? I'm new to making videos and would love to hear your comments!
New subscriber here!! So the idea is to stay at four points and happy happy go downstairs to eat.. when the borders opens shall be making my way there! Great review! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hello! Thank you for subscribing. YESSSS! The best plan. Four Points is so near EVERYTHING. 4 minutes walk to Madras Lane for example. Breakfast > Hotel > Lunch > Hotel > Dinner > Hotel > Supper > Hotel 😂 Enjoy your stay soon!
@@sara_khong 😂😂👍👍 best la!! Shall keep yr suggestion!! Cheers!!
I was eating in the same store for Hoiken mee in 1965. Went back there two years ago. Its still the same store but the cooks are all Burmese .
Hi. Yes, most of the time it's like this. But the owner still mans the stall and he can cook well too! (He told me he has been cooking Hokkien mee for over 50 over years)
Wow! Sara is so charming! And her videos so informative
i literally just watched the other video which ended with pandan republic so your intro had me shookt. lol
Going to Chinatown kl again this afternoon thanks
very sweet voice
Going KL for street food hunt tomorrow. Thanks for the info!
Ur best u show the history to the present in show, very informative, ur the best
Not only that I recognise most of the food eateries, I used to live in Chinatown, now the new Kim Lin Kee. So nostalgic and so many wonderful memories as a kid.
Hi Sara, how have you been? Just happened to watch your this video again. I was in KL Petaling Street this year July. Staying at KW Marriot. Had my favorite KL Hokkien mee there. Hope to go again next month.
Thanks your video 👍🥰🇦🇺
Great video May I ask which hotel you stayed? as it appears to be very close to all these Restaurants
Four Points Chinatown
Some great stops, miss it dearly. Usually go once a year but due to covid not been back for last 3 years. Will go in 2023 to catch up family and most of all the food. Miss the curry laksa and nasi lemak, my favourites along with every other food. The fruits are also good, especially durian. Stay safe Sara, keep eating!
Wala mak, all the food there sooo good...but can't cross border now, wait la, I'll come there, thanks, my friend, good video
Where are you currently? What good food can you get there at the moment? Eat there first. Then come when it's safe!
@@sara_khong... Near only, Kepayan, Sabah...have tasted all the food, almost the same, wants something different ... a real China Town food, thanks for your reply
Thank you Sara for a most informative of the dishes rather than say that they are good 👍 😀
Hello Tan. Thank you for your comment. I love to hear what people like or dislike about my video! I'll try to continue to describe dishes :)
There’s also the wan tan mee and sui gow stall next to the raw fish porridge, as well as the ngow lam min (beef noodles) at Lai Foong, both Chinatown icons. Great job. Thanks
You know your stuff ;) Had wantan mee too before eating Apam. But I can’t recommend it anymore. Maybe it was popular but I feel it’s no longer the best. Atmosphere was not there either. Didn’t get to eat beef noodles; too hot to walk so far haha! But planning to do a video just on that one day. There are a few more food I want to cover. I think there will be part 2! :)
@@sara_khong Thanks for the filtering out those below average. It is a help.
Excellent clip, thank you! Are you familiar with HK's famous 24-flavored herbal tea? If so, can you recommend a place near Chinatown in KL or Ipoh or even Penang where I can get some? I'd very much like to enjoy it fresh and get the dried herbal packets so that I can make it back home. I hadn't any luck hitty all the Gwei-lou bloggers because they're not very savvy and keen about this excellent heavenly cool drink. Thanks again Sara for your videos, very inspiring, and I get a kick out of hearing you speak Cantonese and deciphering the subtle accent differences between my Cantonese accent. It's oddly refreshing😊
Thanks for sharing,Enjoy travelogue:):😢😊😊😊
Doesn’t help watching this at late night. Drooling looking at the YTF, hokkien mee and curry laksa. Yums. Eh Sarah next time if you need extra mouth to enjoy more dishes, call me laaa.
Wow...I must visit here when I go visit KL. Miss the places. :D
Very informative video. Love your mom. My wife speaks Mandarin. Do most Chinese speak Cantonese in Malaysia? We hope to travel to Kuala Lumpur from the U.S. toward the end of the year. Looking forward to more of your videos to get information on the city and country.
Thank you. She would be happy to hear. What kind of information in the video that makes you feel that it's informative? I'll be sure to include those in future videos. It depends on the state. More people speak Cantonese in Kuala Lumpur. But in other states, Mandarin is more common. In Penang, a lot of people speak Hokkien. I will, stay tune!
@@sara_khong Your style of filming is very natural. It seems the viewer is walking along with you to stores and restaurants. The outside of the business is clear to see. Good description of the products. I especially liked when you stood at the corner in Chinatown and pointed out all the restaurants in view.
@@smurf_nfo2030 Honestly, that's the only style I know! Still grappling with filming tools. But I'm glad you like it. Noted 1) Natural 2) Clea visual of business 3) Description of products 4) Clear location. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your feedback!
Oh my how I miss chee cheong kai food. 😊
Sara you really good in food's hunter.. 👍😋
Grew up with these food so it's not hard. But thank you :)
How do I make my own chilli for hokkien mee? Is there belacan inside?
nice
when i was there, the fourpoint hotel in jalan sultan was on progress builded...
Nice to see you remain so slim !
Hi Stephen. Haha! Thanks to Mom's genes. And eating in moderation.
Yong Tau Foo my favourite shop... must hv it once every month
You mean this particular shop? I used to eat YTF weekly!
@@sara_khong Yes😄😋
Congratulations on your engagement-such a brief clip I almost missed that part! I love your videos, and when you have your mom with you 😄
Thank you for watching that far and taking the time to wish me. Showed my Mom your comment! instagram.com/stories/sarakhong/2534337975444458279?igshid=175jp7zzja5pl 😊

@@creepyhauntings9842, Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, it'll be just among immediate family and closest friends. That's why I thought of recording it. But I might be too nervous to say anything haha. I'll TRY! Thank you for your encouragement. My Mom is excited!
Thank you Sara Khong.
Dear Sara, im jeneth from indonesia, i love seeing yr video in petaling street Kl, may i know when you visited, where you stay in hotel, what hotel? Thank you so much Dear Sara, im looking forward yr attention
Sara, u missed out the best Roast Duck in K.L (四眼仔烧鸭). One of my favorite.
So may people told me the same thing. I really have to go soon. Thank you for reminding me again :)
Hey announce engagement so casually I nearly missed it. Congrats Sara. May everything go smoothly for you. Must post wedding video ah, ok.
Haha! That made me laugh. Casual kannn. Ok wait for wedding related food videos 😀
And thank you!
congratzzzz. this tour isn't complete without the obligatory hour long queue for Ho Kow next to the hotel hahah
Noooooo haha. Tooo long a queue. I did that once
Yup really good food 😋
Have you been there? If yes, what other food do you recommend?
Well what Chinatown you talking about it is Petaling street.The Malaysian Chinese already developed Malacca (1511), and Seremban Sg Ujung (18century) , Kelang then KL in British era
Hi Sara, don't mind sharing which hotel do you stay near Chinatown?
Your latest email has forced me to do a forensic examination of my memory. My first visit to KL, I stayed at the old Concorde Hotel and not the Imperial Hotel (that was subsequent visits); the Hard Rock Cafe, with that terrible band, was located in the Concorde's lobby. The Concorde was demolished about ten years ago. Also located in City Centre and now demolished, as well, was Hotel Istana; in the basement there was a great Chinese restaurant. I ate there every visit to KL, unfortunately I don't remember its name and there is no trace of the establishment online. As soon as the Mandarin Oriental opened up in 1997 I abandoned the dowdy rooms of the Imperial and began staying here. BTW, if you want to recommend to your viewers some great books on Malaysia, I would recommend "Red Star Over Malaya" by Cheah Boon Kheng and "A History Of Malaysia" by Barbara Watson Andaya. All are available at Kunakunya at KLCC Suria.
You seem to have truly fallen in love with Malaysia! I have not heard of these books. But shall check them out the next time I’m at Kinokuniya. You reminded me that I was planning to get Sapiens: A Graphic History. Have not heard of the Chinese restaurant. Also I remember Michael Jackson stayed at Concorde when he came to KL. All these info are a loooooong time ago
Hi Sarah, What vlog camera was on the table when you were eating yong tofu in the hotel room?
It's a gimbal!
@@sara_khong ..Great...thanks
Hi Sara. Would you know what type of oil is used in cooking and deep frying in street food around Malaysia?
Hello. I believe it’s palm oil. The next time I talk to a hawker, I’ll ask and confirm.
@@sara_khong thanks!
Congratulations 😊 @Sara
Thank you!
Sara, do you do paid food tours? I would happily pay for a tour so I can see where all these places are. It would be lots of fun for everyone. :)
You could call it : Sara Khong Food Tours
Has a nice sound to it. :)
I mainly teach cooking classes :) www.newmalaysiankitchen.com/cooking-class-kuala-lumpur/ But food tour is a good idea! What kind of food tour would you like?
Caiyok... caiyok... 😁👍
Which hotel did you stayed?
I love da pau ... I was praying you will go into the shop ... 😭😭😭. .. all good I still love all the rest of the food 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍
😂 too much food to eat! Which one on the list would you like to try?
I hope ur just the guest in Malaysia,, cos u miss must in Chinatown u won't regret in ur life ,,,,,
*Welcome to Malaysia Truly Asia Good foods, rainforest good beach & others many More Enjoyed thanks for sharing very good videos*
🇲🇾♥️💖❤️🩹💗💗🤩🥰🇲🇾💖❤️🩹💗♥️💝🤩
If I am in KL, can you bring us around to eat?
Sara you made me hungry by looking you eat Haha. I missed all the songs foods in malaysia since the last time I eat was 10 years
10 years is a long time. You must come back soon! What's your favourite Malaysian food? I just went to a kopitiam. You might like the food there: th-cam.com/video/LNeIkjCdfSQ/w-d-xo.html
Great Video. Would be good if you could include the date of the place visited and the price of the food item ordered as information. Thanks.
As in the day/ opening hours? I did include the price at the end. Would you like something more specific?
@@sara_khong Nope. Is the day you visited the food stall/hawker date so that at least we know if the price is the current. As we all know, all food cost has gone up sky rocket high price and those goodies and delicious choices as show on your video clips is so tempting and nice BUT it is also a good info to know if it is affordable or cost reasonable. Hope that clarify. Thanks
@@andrewlim6405 Ah! Understood. This was just last week. So it's still current.
@@sara_khong Thanks Sara and Congratulation. Just noticed the recent video do have price indicated which is good information of the current street food price. Just a recommendation, you should also explore IPOH town street food and there is one very popular egg tart shop you/your mom might be interested to try out. But of course IPOH is very popular when comes to street food stalls too. Just a recommendation only. Cheers.
😮😅❤ you are making me hungry 😅
I want to visit Malaysia. Is Cantonese the preferred Chinese dialect in Kuala Lumpur?
Her eyes makes me black out, i dnt know how to tell u bur ur awesome😊
Sara khong !! I have only one heart, how many times will you win it ? ❤️🙏

Wow! You understand Cantonese!!🎉🎉🎉😂
