Trust, we can see why. That's a country that's high on my list of places to revisit! What's your favorite areas to stay in? Would love some recommendations
Loved that air bnb-great value for price. Also can’t believe y’all grocery shopped for two under budget while I would struggle to do that for one person! Great video.
That was our favorite airbnb so far this year, it was by far the most comfortable. And the prices in Malaysia are amazing, their and Vietnam are the two places so far that I most want to return too because of how affordable everything is.
That red paste is called "sambal", a chili paste. If it taste fishy, it's because it is prepared with "ikan bilis" (anchovies). It can also be prepared with shrimps, or onions, or cockles. Its spiciness can vary.
Wow, that’s some interesting info, thanks for letting us know! I didn’t realize that was sambal because this one was a quite a bit different than the sambal we had in Singapore and in Bali.
@@GoingFartherTogether in Malaysia we got 3 kind of sambal variant because of 3 main race Malay ,Chinese and Indian.some spicier and some sweet than other.Malaysian got wide choice of food because of multiracial influence ,do try other food and don't shy to ask for anything ,new subscriber here :)
First off, thanks for watching and subscribing, that means the world to us, welcome to the family! I love how multiracial it is and it really shows when it comes to food. While we've been to other cities that are multiracial, Malaysia seemed different to us because the different races seem to be in much more harmony in comparison to another multiracial city like New York.
@@GoingFartherTogether Sambal is just a general name of the chili paste which usually contains fermented shrimp paste or balancan in Singapore and Malaysia. Different people do it differently to pair with different dishes. Also the recipes are very varied and depends on the cooks.
@@simplyme3306 that makes sense, depending on where the cooks come from they might make it a lil differently. Like if the cook is originally from Indonesia, it will probably be more spicy than the others.
@@GoingFartherTogether I spent 3 months in Selangor Malaysia and I loved it, but unfortunately my daughter got Sick with leukemia while in Malaysia and we had to come back to Seattle. This is a beautiful place where We are, but the people here are too TOXIC, it's the USA after all. Too much HATE going on here and for No Reason. A LOT of White Supremacists here in this Area. But in MALAYSIA, being that most People are BROWN - there is NO issues with Skin Color there, they just treat PEOPLE like PEOPLE. I loved THAT. They are also Very Hard Working People.
Sorry to hear about that diagnosis, I pray and hope she is doing ok. And yes, that is one of the things that really stood out about Malaysia/KL, there was so much diversity and no one made us feel less than or unwelcome while we were there
Great video. I am a woman who is about to be traveling overseas, and I really appreciated the tips on how to find a good place to get your hair done ☺️
We're so happy to hear that the video was helpful to you! Safe travels! And if there are other things you've like to see us cover or do, feel free to let us know
you shud try malay nasi campur.... chinese economy rice... indian banana leaf.... there u can get full plate of rice with many dishes topping..... cheap also
Man, Horlicks! Haven't seen that here, certainly remember it as a Jamaican drink as a kid. Been trying out the local coffee, had to ease up on the Milo. If you guys get a chance, go to Cameron Highlands, BOH brand tea is from there, reminds me of St. Mary farms. the temp up there is cooler as well. Finding all these things I knew as a kid in Jamaica, prompted me to apply for the MM2H, love it here.
Thanks for the video! Just a quick note: Eggs in many places in the world are not refrigerated- it has to do with washing them before getting to the grocery stores in NA. So, make sure you wash them before cooking, even if just cracking them. KL is awesome for some many reasons. Did you notice that chicken breast is cheaper than dark meat? Another diff! Booze also tends to be more expensive. Hope you enjoy! (I daydream about moving / visiting for a long haul).
Yes, we agree. We can see ourselves revisiting Malaysia some time in the future. Good to know Horlicks is in the UK too just in case I want to bring some home. 😄 Thanks for watching!
This is so dope! Love spending time with yall and seeing what life is like abroad. Major points for having the Horlicks haven’t had that since i was at my grandmas house growing up haha. Glad it’s just as good as you remember
Hi guys! I absolutely love this video-thank you so much for uploading it! I’d definitely love to see more content about the cost of living and daily life in the Southeast Asian countries you’ve visited. It’s super helpful for people like me who are trying to plan trips and explore the real costs of living, especially when it’s focused on local markets, food, and experiences. Also, Irene, I love the braids-they look gorgeous! I remember in a previous video you mentioned getting box braids done in Bali. Were these ones done there as well? If so, how much did they cost? Here in the States, box braids can go for $200-$250, so I’m curious about the price difference. Thank you again for the amazing content-keep it up, guys! Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks for the love and support, we're glad you enjoyed it! We will definitely be making a few videos specifically comparing the cost of living across SE Asia. It'll be a few weeks before they come out but they coming, I promise. And those braids were the ones she got done in Bali, they were about 2 months old by the time we made it to Malaysia. They were $110 USD.
I wasn't stating that there's not black cultured people there I'm stating that there's not many black cultured TH-camrs reviews on Malaysia every TH-cam video I've seen on Malaysia wasn't black cultured
Love vlogs like these - VERY informative. [haha, I recognise that place, one of my favourite cosy 80s nostalgic places when visiting KL - the back of Sungei Wang mall]
Enjoy your stay here in Malaysia. Most of the WiFi connections are fast and our internet providers are reliable in terms of speed and up-time. My home connection goes up to 300mbps (due to the speed package I've selected), some can go up to 800mbps (or more). My mobile 5G connection went up to 1.3gbps at one time.
Its 2025, yep, I have never heard of horlicks. Sounds good. Fine job folks, the world is a big great experience and you are showing us aspects of people's and cultures we have never known. Keep up the fine work.
It’s no surprise that you haven’t heard of it, I haven’t seen it the United States for at least 8-10 years. Only a few specialty Caribbean stores would have it. Thank you so much for watching and supporting!!! 🫶🏾
Sardines? Canned sardines in tomato sauce, but we cooked it again and added other ingredients such as garlic, ginger, onions, chilli and tamarind juice.
Thank you for explaining for us, we're always open to being educated on how other countries and cultures do things. That's one of our favorite things about traveling
Sorry, but I've lived here for 7 months. I haven't noticed grocery store food being any less expensive than in the U.S. Most all meat comes in from Australia, nearly 3,000 miles away, it's expensive, and it is not top quality grain fed as in the U.S. Consequently it has a gamey flavor like venison. And in addition to not refrigerating eggs, they do not refrigerate meat, either once it's place in the butcher's case. As for the eggs, without refrigeration in 90 degree heat every day, they do go bad. Nothing like making an omelet with 3 good eggs in the bowl, then having the fourth one bad. You have to throw out all four of the eggs then and start over. Also, the egg shells can be filthy. I always spray unopened egg shells with hydrogen peroxide to kill all the bacteria. You will be shocked at the white foam that results from the peroxide oxidizing the bacteria. Same thing with the meat. Gotta spray it with peroxide to foam up and kill all the surface bacteria. Don't believe me? Try it. You can eat cheaply here if all you want to eat is rice, noodles, eggs, chicken, and local vegetables, but that's about it. And most everything in the grocery stores is imported, adding to the cost. I'm not going to pay $5 for less than eight ounces of sour cream. And most anything that you eat out is going to be fried (how often do they change the oil?) and sugary. Anyway, that's it for now. Forewarned is forearmed.
Horlicks are quite popular is Malaysia although its not widely drinking in public.. it quite popular for elderly mostly,some with the youngsters.. one of the local drinks i suggest u trying is neslo..nescafe+milo ,and ask for less sweet, normally it quite a sweet if u didnt request less sweet..
Breakfast for local will normally cost rm1.50 -rm2.00 for plain roti canai....rm2-rm2.50 for teh tarik per person.... Your breakfast feast is on another level. ..it is kinda heavy ...mayb suitable for brunch or dinner
I actually don’t remember seeing Captain Crunch but they might have it in other stores. I would recommend to try out a Malaysian breakfast anyhow though
Bring your bags! In Australia we have banned plastic bags for shopping and its so weird to see people using single use plastics. But simple enough to take your own bag!
Malaysia is affordable with world class facilities and English spoken make easy for tourist to communicate with local people....roti canai, teh tarik and nasi lemak recognised by UNESCO as Malaysian favourite breakfast.....
It's definitely true, we found it very affordable and easy to live there. We also appreciated how ppl treated us and we didn't feel like outcasts when we there.
@@GoingFartherTogether Because most of the eggs at the grocery stores fly off the shelf rather quick, so it's easier for them to stack it in the open. Plus, it's air conditioned - I guess that's okay to place out in the open for short term. And we do store the eggs in the fridge once we get home.
Kambing is mutton (goat meat). The thick fishy one is sambal probably made from chilly onions and anchovies. There are different versions. So usually the roti canai comes with dhall, sardine curry and sambal. Mostly Indian Muslim shops. But valentine roti if I am not mistaken is Indian but they have been around for years and are very Malaysian in what they serve .
as a malaysia u as a foreigner can get cheap air bnd with rooftop swimming pools.. eat local foods like the world rank no 1 bread in the world and nasi lemak.. and also ramly burger.. and how u guys like the second tallest tower in the world and klcc so far..
We enjoyed KLCC very much! We ate so much good food throughout the stay. Some of the best and most memorable dishes I've ever had. We also really enjoyed how diverse the population is, there were so many different ethnic groups there and that has such a big influence on the food.
@@GoingFartherTogether klcc is not the second tallest tower in the world the second tallest tower is pnb118.. the klcc is the first tallest twin tower in the world
@@GoingFartherTogether there are so many types of sambal too. Malaysian sambal should be on the sweeter side. In Indonesia they don't use sugar at all so its all heat and chili pepper flavor. Malaysian sambal often has anchovies or shrimp paste and palm sugar.
Know that you say it, I'm starting to understand the difference alot more now. I did notice that sambal in Indonesia was very spicy while it wasn't in Malaysia. Thank you for letting us know! We enjoyed both kinds but I think I like Malaysia sambal a little bit more.
@@GoingFartherTogether Malaysian sambal also use dried chili for color this automatically reduce the spiciness . It also depends on the vendor infact many "malay" food sectors are hired help from Indonesian migrant . So theirs will be more spicy or more similar to indonesia's sambal but born and bred Malaysians don't tolerate that much heat. Locals tend to say just mix them all together - i say DONT. Check the spiciness first if you ok with heat then you can mix. I've never mixed them all up cuz i never know how spicy it is and don't take their word for it..taste it a bit first. People who eat too much spice just like too much salt are desensitized.
@@mr3111 I agree, that's a big risk to mix them all up and not how spicy it will be. We like only a little spice and can't tolerate too much heat either.
Next time go to Kampung Baru and experience Malay food. Basically malay loves to eat rice. Almost all kind of malay food, dessert made from rice and coconut milk, pandan leaves, Even traditional dessert made from rice flour. 😊
@@zakkkkkkkkkkk Very unfortunate! We really enjoyed the food from that place also. They even had a cart to get fresh smoothies and juices right outside the restaurant. But just like you said, a better one is coming! Thanks for watching and supporting!
@@TheOhsemGuy I'm gonna check out mangosteen for sure, we've tried rambutan and longans and we enjoyed them. They're very similar to a fruit I used to eat back home in Jamaica.
guys, just to remind you, KL, putrajaya and selangor state are campaigning "no plastic bag" so bring you own big bags. otherwise, you have to buy a new big bags LOL
We actually always travel with our reusable grocery bags just to try to not have any plastic waste no matter what country we are in. We are already prepared lol
I don't buy my groceries in KL because KL is super expensive. The best foody and cheap grocery places in Malaysia. 1. Gunung Rapat 2. Pusing 3. Batu Gajah.
@@GoingFartherTogether Pork is sold separately in the markets. You get it packaged and paid for in the pork dept. That's because most of the cashiers up front are muslims, and for religious reasons are prohibited from handling pork at the checkout. Ditto for many places selling alcohol. Interestingly, the non-muslims work in the pork and alcohol sections of the store, and the hindus do not work in the beef section.
@@keangwooichoo6138 for sure, Milo is very popular in Malaysia too, I saw it on alot of the menus. I had some in a great tasting Chinese restaurant in KL
@GoingFartherTogether I am indeed. Frankly, Australia is not feasible. It's out of control. Another channel Two pack wanderers did a trip around Australia. I'm not sure how they survived without being bankrupted. Then again they were converting from USD to AUD. That's what happens when you vote for politicians who spend your tax dollars like water! Inflation is up. Cost of living. Rents. Our interest rates are through the roof. I don't see improvement any time soon.
I'm not going to listen to you over music it's annoying try to watch y'all but good luck music and talking not a good mix only noobs do music and talking together
I hear you, but the local that got his cut right before me paid the same thing. Regardless I got the best fade I had all year and paid farrrr farrrr less than I pay in the states. The last time I paid that amount for a cut was over 20 years ago, so it's all good 👌🏾
What do you think about the cost of living in Kuala Lumpur? Is this a country you would consider for a long term stay?
Everything in Malaysia must have price tag easy for customer to know the price. Action can be taken by the Authority if the shop doesn't show the price tag....
Oh we didn't know that, thanks for letting us know! I'm glad that's a rule, that makes things so much easier.
@@GoingFartherTogetherone more thing, wash your hand b4 and after meal if you use your hand. Sinks are available in all eatery place. Msia is humid country thus your hands will get wet from your own sweat and that sweat will accumulate dust from the environment. That is why washing your hand b4 ur meal is a must
Try roti canai sarden
@@Ameng3471 agreed! It's so helpful that there are sinks in the eatery places. We've been making full use of them!
We’ve been travelling for the last 5 years and Malaysia is definitely one of our favorite countries! We visit multiple times a year.

@@GoingFartherTogether Because most of the eggs at the grocery stores fly off the shelf rather quick, so it's easier for them to stack it in the open. Plus, it's air conditioned - I guess that's okay to place out in the open for short term. And we do store the eggs in the fridge once we get home.
@@TheOhsemGuy thanks for educating us on your culture! This is a big part of why we travel, we learn so many new things!
Welcome to Malaysia. If you need locations for good local restaurants, I can show you some.
We're always open to recommendations, thanks for the offer! We would love to have some
@@GoingFartherTogether My comment got deleted. Did you get it?
@@makkienleong6865 No, I didn't get it, and it was very strange. I saw the notification but when I went to look,nothing was there.
@@GoingFartherTogether Not the first time seeing it. Probably some name I posted that Google policy doesn't like.
Check your mailbox. Have fun!
@@makkienleong6865 thank you so much! We got it and I responded already!
Kambing is mutton (goat meat). The thick fishy one is sambal probably made from chilly onions and anchovies. There are different versions. So usually the roti canai comes with dhall, sardine curry and sambal. Mostly Indian Muslim shops. But valentine roti if I am not mistaken is Indian but they have been around for years and are very Malaysian in what they serve .
That’s a great explanation, thank you for clarifying! I’ll make sure to remember that for my next roti canai.
The prices in that supermarket is more expensive than a supermarket in Amsterdam...
That's interesting, I wouldn't expect Amsterdam to have a similar cost of living to Kuala Lumpur
@@GoingFartherTogether it doesn't, that's why I was surprised by the supermarket prices.
Bless guys you
Thank you. More life and abundance to you! 🙏🏾
Bah kut teh is a traditional food from malaysia.
Thank you for letting me know
as a malaysia u as a foreigner can get cheap air bnd with rooftop swimming pools.. eat local foods like the world rank no 1 bread in the world and nasi lemak.. and also ramly burger.. and how u guys like the second tallest tower in the world and klcc so far..
We enjoyed KLCC very much! We ate so much good food throughout the stay. Some of the best and most memorable dishes I've ever had. We also really enjoyed how diverse the population is, there were so many different ethnic groups there and that has such a big influence on the food.
@@GoingFartherTogether malaysia people with food they show love not aso money
@@GoingFartherTogether klcc is not the second tallest tower in the world the second tallest tower is pnb118.. the klcc is the first tallest twin tower in the world
Salaams. Is there a place there to get my hair braided regularly?
There probably is but my wife got her hair braided in Bali and she retwists my locs for me herself
That sauce is ‘sambal’. Its chili with other ingredients cooked and reduced to paste
Ooooh! I've had sambal before but this one was a bit different do I didn't realize, thank you for letting me know.
@@GoingFartherTogether there are so many types of sambal too. Malaysian sambal should be on the sweeter side. In Indonesia they don't use sugar at all so its all heat and chili pepper flavor. Malaysian sambal often has anchovies or shrimp paste and palm sugar.
Know that you say it, I'm starting to understand the difference alot more now. I did notice that sambal in Indonesia was very spicy while it wasn't in Malaysia. Thank you for letting us know! We enjoyed both kinds but I think I like Malaysia sambal a little bit more.
@@GoingFartherTogether Malaysian sambal also use dried chili for color this automatically reduce the spiciness . It also depends on the vendor infact many "malay" food sectors are hired help from Indonesian migrant . So theirs will be more spicy or more similar to indonesia's sambal but born and bred Malaysians don't tolerate that much heat. Locals tend to say just mix them all together - i say DONT. Check the spiciness first if you ok with heat then you can mix. I've never mixed them all up cuz i never know how spicy it is and don't take their word for it..taste it a bit first. People who eat too much spice just like too much salt are desensitized.
@@mr3111 I agree, that's a big risk to mix them all up and not how spicy it will be. We like only a little spice and can't tolerate too much heat either.
Try Economy Rice 😅😅😅
We're gonna be on the lookout for it, I just looked it up and that sounds like something I've love to try 😋
Any celery???!!!
Would you like some? Lol
sardine my friend
Thank you for letting me know🙏🏽
I hope you have negotiated a month stay for your Airbnb, it should be different than the daily rate.
We were only in Phuket for 3 weeks so we didn’t get the full monthly discount
Next time go to Kampung Baru and experience Malay food. Basically malay loves to eat rice. Almost all kind of malay food, dessert made from rice and coconut milk, pandan leaves, Even traditional dessert made from rice flour. 😊
That sounds like something we would absolutely love! One of our favorite foods is rice. 😄 We appreciate the recommendation. Thank you.
@@GoingFartherTogether list of Malay food rice based;
1: Nasi Lemak
2: Nasi Tomato
3: Nasi Kerabu
4: Nasi Dagang
5: Nasi Ayam
And many more.
Thank you for sharing my friend
you can asked viewer, which store is the cheapest. they sure will help you. my choice is NSK. any branches.
That's a great idea, and thank you for recommending NSK, we will check to see if there are any branches close to where we're staying
@GoingFartherTogether NSK is not too fancy store, but the price is good if buy in bulk too
NASI LEMAK VLOG NEXT!
We filmed an entire scene about trying Nasi Lemak and we lost the footage😩😩
@ oh dear. That is unfortunate. But I believe better one is coming! 😄
@@zakkkkkkkkkkk Very unfortunate! We really enjoyed the food from that place also. They even had a cart to get fresh smoothies and juices right outside the restaurant. But just like you said, a better one is coming! Thanks for watching and supporting!
hello, welcome you to live in Malaysia
Thanks, we're so glad to have visited!
Try the kampung or sandy eggs. They are more delicious. Also try all the local fruits rather than the imported fruits.
Ooh, I’ll be on the lookout for those, thanks for the tip! What local fruits do you recommend we try?
@@GoingFartherTogether Go for rambutan, longan and mangosteen. Those are easy to try for the first time.
@@TheOhsemGuy I'm gonna check out mangosteen for sure, we've tried rambutan and longans and we enjoyed them. They're very similar to a fruit I used to eat back home in Jamaica.
You spent $33 at the grocery store, how long will that food last? Thanks
That $33 supplied us for about a week’s worth of breakfast, a couple snacks and light lunches
Welcome to malaydesh
Thank you warga Punglidonesia.
Thank you 🙏🏽
guys, just to remind you, KL, putrajaya and selangor state are campaigning "no plastic bag" so bring you own big bags. otherwise, you have to buy a new big bags LOL
We actually always travel with our reusable grocery bags just to try to not have any plastic waste no matter what country we are in. We are already prepared lol
@GoingFartherTogether some of small store are still giving red plastic bag to lure the customer to come
I don't buy my groceries in KL because KL is super expensive.
The best foody and cheap grocery places in Malaysia.
1. Gunung Rapat
2. Pusing
3. Batu Gajah.
You mean at Close mountain, Turn and Elephant Stone? That is basically at Silver State mate. Not in Kuala Lumpur
Thank you for the recommendations. I'll make sure to take note of your suggestions for next time!
Use right hand for eating with the left hand is avoided because it is traditionally used for personal hygiene
Ooooh ok, noted!📝
We’ll keep that in mind for when we return, we’ll for sure be revisiting
What’s your biggest cost-of-living concern when moving abroad?
You must spend a lot to maintain your fabulous hair, the both of you. Being bald, I am really envious.
Lol! 😄 Well I (Irene) normally do my own hair but I got these braids when we were in Bali. Lovan is lucky because I maintain his hair for him.
I like carrots susu...
It's so good! It makes us miss Malaysia, we can’t wait to go back
Affordable for foreigners but very expensive for locals
That's why we try to support as many of the local businesses as we can when we visit.
Kuala Lumpur can be very expensive in the main shopping malls ... Sometimes the tropical fruit are more expensive than here in France
agreed, but luckily you can find many places where the prices are affordable
@lovan_travels Around Chow Kit and KL Sentral it's much cheaper
I'll check those out when we visit KL again!
It’s difficult to find pork products.
Where are you looking?
@@GoingFartherTogether Pork is sold separately in the markets. You get it packaged and paid for in the pork dept. That's because most of the cashiers up front are muslims, and for religious reasons are prohibited from handling pork at the checkout. Ditto for many places selling alcohol. Interestingly, the non-muslims work in the pork and alcohol sections of the store, and the hindus do not work in the beef section.
@@GoingFartherTogether It was a grocery store in Sapang. I stayed there last year.
Can you find a place that cut women hair
Yes it is possible to find a place that can cut women's hair 👌🏾
I like your video, but I would recommend to leave out the background music.
I love Horlick
It's seriously the best! Such a comforting drink 😋
Milo is nice too
@@keangwooichoo6138 for sure, Milo is very popular in Malaysia too, I saw it on alot of the menus. I had some in a great tasting Chinese restaurant in KL
How will you use all those without skills…
I'm not sure what you mean?
There are 179 in the whole KL / Klang Valley
Oooh thank you, we didn’t realize how many there are
They not drinking Dasani in any country 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😆😆
Just to caution you a big risk while travelling in Malaysia, your belly can grow bigger in no time if you too much enjoy the food here!..😂
🫣🤣🤣I believe it! We had so much good food while we were there
Don't tell people, we want stay quiet
My fault 🤫😶😶
sambal
Thank you for letting us know, I will need to get some more sambal, it was very good
Malaysia is cheaper than Australia. Easily 50%.
That doesn't surprise us one bit. We would still love to visit one day! Is that where you're from?
@GoingFartherTogether I am indeed. Frankly, Australia is not feasible. It's out of control. Another channel Two pack wanderers did a trip around Australia. I'm not sure how they survived without being bankrupted. Then again they were converting from USD to AUD.
That's what happens when you vote for politicians who spend your tax dollars like water! Inflation is up. Cost of living. Rents. Our interest rates are through the roof. I don't see improvement any time soon.
Barber not local.
I'm not sure what you mean
@@GoingFartherTogether 16:00 I think the barber is not from Malaysia because there are too many foreign workers here.
Oh ok, I know what you mean now. I'm not sure if he is from Malaysia but he does live and operate there.
I'm not going to listen to you over music it's annoying try to watch y'all but good luck music and talking not a good mix only noobs do music and talking together
My bad, that's my fault, my wife wanted to keep the music lower 😩
earn in RM. buy with RM.
Can your explain why?
That haircut is $3 in Colombia while Malaysia is poorer, so you overpaid for sure 🤣
I hear you, but the local that got his cut right before me paid the same thing. Regardless I got the best fade I had all year and paid farrrr farrrr less than I pay in the states. The last time I paid that amount for a cut was over 20 years ago, so it's all good 👌🏾
Malaysia is poorer than Colombia?
Is colombia safer than malaysia? Look at world safety index.
D only rich ppl in colombia are drug dealers
Malaysia is wealthier than Columbia.
To me, American cereals (eg Kellogg) has more sugar content than local made ( eg Nestle).
There can be no doubt, the American cereals will for sure have more sugar in them
