American family living here said they lived in Japan for several years and never could get used to it but it took them minutes to get used to Malaysia since arriving at the airport. I would say it's neutral compared to other more prominent cultures in Asia.
Malaysia definitely has a lot to offer! 👍
Msian majority can speak English & also the signage....
Sabah and Sarawak are truly interesting places to visit. Borneo offers a completely different experience compared to West Malaysia, or as we call it, Semenanjung Malaysia. The islands in this region are exotic, the food is diverse, and the people are simply wonderful. We have a more laid-back lifestyle and a rich cultural heritage with many different ethnicities living in harmony. If you visit Sabah, you should try local delicacies like hinava, tuhau, and bambangan. And in Sarawak, don't miss the opportunity to taste the famous Sarawak layer cake dessert. It's a whole new experience that you will absolutely love!
Awe, thank you
And island in sabah is on another level with its white sand and crystal clear water. It is known as malaysian maldives 😂😂😂 u wont regret visiting sabah
First time finding your channel. I was in KL in late March, loved it and it was very humid. I did not walk around, took a grab to most places. The food is great, I am vegetarian and love the Indian food there. I am hoping to return early next year.
Hello there 👋 Yeah, x we have been taking grabs too.... you kinda have too in this heat! We are looking forward to going to Borneo ❤️ love your channel name "Global Granny" ❤️
OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY
💧 💧 💧 🤣🤣
Hi Welcome to Malaysia again. Since you are looking for some exotic food to try I suggest you go for LEMANG with BEEF Rendang or CHICKEN rendang. You can on find Lemang during Eid month and you still have about 2 weeks before lemang getting difficult to find. 😄
Hi there! 👋 Thanks for the warm welcome..... looks like we might have to wait to find the good eats! 🤣😁
Sorry brother, bring dogs on the sidewalks and buildings in Malaysia is very sensitive for Muslims. It's better not to walk dogs in Malaysia.. sorry again
@@muhammadabdulwahab123 hi there! Yes, we are aware and try to be very mindful of this. 👍
Exotic food belangkas cili api, belalang kari, sup torpedo, etc
@@muhammadabdulwahab123
Not true. Not all Muslims are closed minded as you. I am a Malaysian. Please don't speak for all muslims. The Malaysian Police and Fire & Rescue Department have dog units.
There are many muslims who feed and rescue dogs too.
There are many Veterinarians who are also Muslims.
When the tough gets going ...stay safe guys take care and enjoy in Malaysia . You are most welcome .
Thank you! 😁
Welcome back to Malaysia, enjoy eating 😂
🤣🤣 hi Cheryl!..... looking forward to it! Any suggestions?
@@wattstraveling Village Park Nasi lemak, Wanjo nasi lemak, street food stalls near Sogo,
@@cheryll8008 thank you
@@wattstraveling you can also try pudu ICC alot of stalls inside that building too
Welcome back to KL, Malaysia. Hope that you guys will have a good time, a pleasant stay in KL, Malaysia.
If you guys are still in Malaysia in real time, then it's still in the month of Syawal, you guys should probably try the traditional Malay food that is normally served during Raya, Eid, for instance like nasi impit, ketupat palas, lemang eaten with peanut sauce and beef or chicken rendang.
Hi yes, we are here (real time vlogs are always Wednesday) this sounds interesting! Thanks 👍
@@wattstraveling Hi there you guys. Enjoy your stay in KL, Malaysia. There are plenty of street food in KL. There are open markets and night markets around KL, food trucks near KLCC, choose the right time to visit one of those places and choose the food that you think suits you the best. 😁
@@Yasin_Affandi looking forward to it! Thank you! 😁
@@wattstraveling And by the way, the food selection at the food courts in the mall are also good, like in Suria KLCC, KL Pavilion, Lot 10 etc. Try out some of the local franchise restaurants like Secret Recipe, Paparich, Old White Coffee etc. The lamb shank with mashed potatoes and fish & chips at the Secret Recipe are very affordable, SC specialized in cakes and cheesecakes, the salted caramel cheesecake and Lotus cheesecake are very affordable and quite delicious too. 😁
Fyi, "Desa Park City" is the most "dog friendly" neighborhood in KL. I see many people walking the dogs in the neighborhood in the afternoon and evening. I see those super expensive dogs everywhere there.
It's great there are areas that are pet friendly 😀 ❤️
please take note pets especially dogs are not allowed in restaurants or sitting on public seats or public transports.
you may go to 'desa park city' where there is a lake and outdoor restaurant which is pet friendly especially dogs. people jogs around this beautiful lake with their dogs mornings, evenings and nights. dont forget to bring leash. it has plastic dispenser for the dog poop even if not mistaken. take note that most muslims wouldnt touch dogs.
Thank you
Muslims dont know what they are missing..
The area that you guys are staying i.e. Bangsar South also adjacent/close to Multimedia Super Corridor "MSC" status buildings areas. MSC contributes about 20% of Malaysia's GDP. Not many visitors like yourselves are aware/know about MSC is. Do investigate "what Multimedia Super Corridor is". What companies operate under MSC umbrella, what tax benefits they enjoy and who can work there (including visa for staying in Malaysia). Perhaps contact one of these companies and visit their work office. Show to the world what facilities these companies enjoy. It will be something new for you guys to know or share with your subscribers.
That's very interesting I'll have to look it up! Thanks
U better fact check your comment. Petronas in Oil and Gas contributes more than MSC and even that is not up to 20% of GDP as Malaysian economy is diverse.
@@nazrimansor1112 Kindly google the phrase "msc contribution to malaysia gdp"
Welcome to mont kiara

Hi Eza! 👋 thanks for the recommendations! 👍 my list is getting long! 🤣🤣
welcome back. u guys were so close to where i normally buy my lemang 😁
Where is THAT place? 😁
@@wattstraveling If you walk towards the sphere. Walk till you see traffic lights at the end of the road. Just before coming to the lights you see a make shift lemang stall on your left called lemang pak abu. normally they will sell not only lemang. they should also have rendang/serunding. if they (lemang pak abu) don;t the one to the right of the traffic lights should have it. I've never tried their lemang but a friend says the rendang is quite good. Good luck lemang hunting and enjoy!😁
I wish one day to go there. Thank you for sharing this video😊
Hi Carlos 👋 Thank you for watching!
Hot dry season are usually in Feb and March. But it's unusual extended this year, some cited El Nino factor, it's been affecting cities in Bangkok and Spore as well.

Whew..... good to know
Wecome back. Happy hunting.
Food recomendations : soup gear box with french baguette😊
Thank you.....I think this soup gear box..... can't be correct?..... I'm liking the French baguette tho 🤣🤣
Its correct. Popular amongst malaysian. its made from cow’s knee, turn into tasteful soup.
the term “gear box” because the knee could be as big as gear box😊
honestly; no kidding..
@@wattstravelingit's bone marrow soup but here we call it gear box 😂
@@AMSWingsOfLiberty ohhhh... okay! I can't imagine ordering a gear box ...... and getting soup! I'm soooo NOT a foodie! 🤣🤣
@@wattstraveling you should try it. It taste heavenly 🤤
Sarawak Food at Dayang Sarawak within walking distance off the Sungai Besi MRT Station... order Mee Kolok and Sarawak Laksa.... yes both...
Guess I need to bring my appetite 😁 thank you so much
Try the famous lemang daun lerek greenwood and visit the new trx mall with the rooftop park and kl skyline view
Hi there 😊 ohhhh, that sounds interesting 🤔 thanks 👍
@@wattstraveling welcome. You can take the mrt green line towards kajang and get off at tun razak exchange station. The trx mall is near the escalator

Awesome, thank you! 😊
Hi..welcome to Malaysia

You shoula try n lemak kueyteow roti canai
Hi there! We've had N lemak and roti canai 👍
Ampang Yong Tau Foo... a Chinese style YTF which is fish balls / paste stuffed in tofu, vegetables, as is, in soup or fried... please please please try there... opposite the Ampang Puteri Hospital...
Thank you for the recommendation! 👍😁
1 day trip to Melaka historical city.
2 days trip to Kuantan for the beaches.
3 days trip to Penang by ETS train (advance booking please).
Another day trip to Genting Highlands.
Malaysia does have a wide variety of cuisine due to the fact that the 3 main races already have so many different dishes.
Just look it up.😊
Hi there! 👋 we've been to Melaka and loved it! But never to Genting Highlands..... yet! 😉 Penang isn't in the plan..... we are slow travelers lol thank you for your suggestions
If you can take some spicy food, try the different type of Laksa from different states in Malaysia. e,g .Johor Laksa, Kelantan Laksa, Sarawak Laksa etc. We have about 15 types of laksa... all unique in its own way.
Ohhhh boy....spicy just isn't my thing..... I'll get Jay to try it! 🤣🤣
Welcome to Malaysia
Awe, thank you! 👋
Welcome back to Malaysia, make sure you can handle the food here.
Hi 👋 we are trying different things and haven't loved the food (just yet).... but we'll keep trying
Long time no see
HELLLOOOO! 👋 😁
I would recommend you try BAK KUT TEH. Its pork cuts (u can choose your prefered cuts) stew in a garlicky Chinese herbal soya broth and eaten with rice and lightly blench lettuce with oyster sauce. The best ones are found in Klang. But there is a michellin rated one in down town KL.
Thank you!
Welcome back to Malaysia.. enjoy your staying...
Thank you 😁
Welcome back to Malaysia. Do try nasi minyak, nasi kerabu, nasi dagang and ABC
Thank you! I've started to comply a list! 🤣🤣
@@wattstraveling you're welcome
I know where this place is because my relatives live there..Bangsar South 👌
Yes!
Pls explore our islands too.
The first time we were here we explored the Perhentian island! So 😍
Timmy's Large double double is 2.07 plus tax! In Ontario, at least! :)
Ahhhh, thanks 👍😉 good to know
Try nasi kerabu 🤩
Thanks, will do
Hi there, since you said to stay in kuala lumpur for the next six weeks, you may need some rest from hustle bustle kuala lumpur city, I suggest you take a week travel to east Coast peninsular Malaysia which is Terengganu state. You can explore and discover authentic cuisines such as Nasi Dagang, Kerepok Lekor, Satar etc2. And if you are looking for peaceful place (heritage Malay architecture), to stay, pls check Terrapuri Heritage village. All the best.
Hi 👋 last time we were here we enjoyed a trip to Terengganu! What a great place! We are thinking of heading to Borneo! 👍
Welvome back to KL !! Have you guys tried Nasi Lemak at Wanjo , Nasi Kerabu & Nasi Dagang at Kak Som at Kampung Baru , KL . If not , go ahead and get it..
We've had Nasi Lemak 👍 thanks for the recommendations 😀
I also can’t finish till the end of the foot reflexology! Pain!
🤣🤣🤣🤣... Whew, this makes me feel better! Thank you! ❤️
Please visit the new mall TRX
Sounds like the place to go! 👍
Try the Peranakan (Nyonya Baba) cuisines for a change.😂Lol
Thanks for the recommendation!
When u say google map lead u to hgway its google map which isnt pedestrian friendly..locals would know if u want to go to midvalley i assume d mall tht u mentioned theres no direct way to cross d federal highway otr than following d sidewalk thru pantai dalam
You are 100% correct!
Really thought Lindsay Davenport (Former world no 1 tennis player) came to Malaysia when I saw the thumbnail. U really look like her 😅.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you aren't the first person to say I look like her! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 first time I heard her name I had too Google her (I don't follow tennis) but I'll take it as a compliment ❤️
@@wattstraveling 🤭🤭🤭. She used to be a former world no 1 player and used to be a great rival to players like Serena & Venus Willians, Martina Hingis, Maria Sharapova, etc.
Btw you looked better than her....😊
@@dinn-mj4nx awwwe, you are too kind ❤️
We r planning a first trip to thailand. Have never traveled anywhere in Asian countries. Worried about dengue fever and the humidity. Any info or advice would be great. Also, wonder if you have to be worried about getting foid poisoning. Thanks so much.
Hi there! You'll need a good mosquito repellent to always where when going out at night. And food poisoning can happen... my rule of thumb is always get something that's prepped in front of you..... I'd steer away from items that have been cooked and just lying out. Hope that helps.... have a great trip! 👍
Some of the foods NOT common to foreigners include (I think) --- (1) Ikan Asam Pedas (spicy Fish) (2) Nasi Ambeng (varities of mixed veges, meat, noodles, rice) (3) Indian Vegetarian Food (4) Lemang (sticky rice in bamboo) with Rendang (5) Lontong /Burasek (rice pudding cooked with banana leaf with vegetables & beef or chillies (6) Nasi Dagang (sticky steamed rice) with ikan tongkol (tuna) (7) Nasi kerabu (bluish rice) with fish and veges
If you have tried them, sorry. Try them again😅
Awe, THANK YOU for including a description...... that's much better! Appreciate it very much!
The side I've not seen of Kuala Lumpur
It's fun exploring a new place and hanging out with Chipo! ❤️
timmies medium double double is $1.83 so about $2 after tax !
Thanks! 👍
Hello, ...welcome. nice to do morning walks, exercising, gym, morn-swim, 've "Ulam" (daily salads), d~sum of all sorts, tropical fruits r aplenty; esp watermelons, fresh barley, & sugarcane juices r soothing supplements for body temperature... Do disco ver, enjoy, cheers! Never be afraid to ask😂❤❤
Awe, thank you! Sounds like you have a good routine going! Thanks for watching
Have you tried "mee bandung Muar"? If you haven't, why not give it a try.
I don't believe we have! I'll have to look it up!
We got a kg of red seedless grapes in Jomtien yesterday for $5.53 cad, not sure prices back home but I’m sure we are still paying much less here! 🤦🏼♀️😂
Hey guys! That's good to know because everywhere we went in Thailand grapes were CRAZY expensive. 1kg!.....damn, that's a lot of grapes 😁! Awesome price, it's say
@@wattstravelingdefinitely not always that cheap! We discovered the Rompho Market that’s close by and that’s where we always buy our fruit, they are fresh, delicious and reasonable prices! 🥰
Also, Chipo is the cutest 😍
@@timpardy941 RIGHT! 😍
hv you try durian yet?
Hahaha..... nice try! 🤣🤣🤣Yes!...... not a fan 🤣🤣
Chipo has your number! He likes to be carried.
Lol...yup... he's so sweet! ❤️

I am from Sabah, East Malaysia. Do I belong to Kuala Lumpur? ❤🙏
Hello Sabah!...... looking forward to going EAST! KL is definitely a happening city! Thank you for watching!
By the way, Jamaica Blue is Australian:)
Is it? Awe, I love that name..... great coffee shop, the service was AWESOME.... so nice
been to Borneo yet?
.... it's in the plan! 👍
Penang Char Kway Teaw in Penang not in somewhere else
We thought about going to Penang, but not this trip! I'll put it on my list for next time! 👍
Do you find that KL Malaysia is more expensive the other South Asian countries?
Hi there! Good question, we are finding short term rentals are more than Thailand.... but we are still looking. Restaurant Food and grab taxis are cheaper and groceries are reasonable too. Some things are more, some less. I think this comparison would be a great video idea! Thanks
Short term rental prices are high in KL....definitely more challenging to book budget accommodations. Most agents tend to push you into Airbnb if you're not looking for a 1-year contract. Airbnb prices seem to be very high for what the units offer. if you're looking for a long term contract prices at more affordable. Food really varies depending on your tastes...lots of options for all budget ranges.
Prices have gone up since the pandemic began.
Ya, seems like that everywhere these days! 😭😭
tho the prices are hiking up but for both of them are still cheap tho 😅..rite?🤭
@pegangagamakeranaitusiapak576 comparing to Canada, yes, the prices are cheap..... but we don't live there anymore.... so for us home is where we are..... that includes the prices of things. I find Malaysia and Thailand both have pluses and minus'! 👍 don't be fooled just because we are Canadians we think the prices are ALWAYS cheap in South east Asia.....
Hi guys can you tell me where you’re staying please😊
Hi there, this was Southlink complex. Great area and complex. We don't usually share our location but since we've moved on, I will! 👍
If you have lots of money, everywhere is EASY to live. 😁
You are not wrong!.... we just fall into THAT category 🤣🤣
List of good malaysian food suggestions - char kueh tiaw, lontong, laksa, nasi goreng kampung, nasi beriani, mee hoon goreng, kueh tiaw kungfu, roti jala, maggi goreng & lots more.. 😂😂
Geeesh!..... that's a big list! Thank you👍
Try bak kut teh
Hi there! 👋 not going to lie, I had to look that up.... it looks delish! I'll keep my eyes open for it! 👍Thank you!
How to find your contact details
In the description 👋 😁
@@wattstraveling Okay, I have sent you an email for you to check
Then go to Wisma Central Jalan Ampang. Look for Chicken Chop Station. Great western food
Thanks
Go to kampung baru and try many types of malay food like satay, nasi lemak, nasi krabu, nasi dagang, roti prata nasi kandar and more.
