I'm persuading my wife to move to Malaysia - in the next couple of years. We're living in Portugal from the UK but have travelled to KL and Penang many times. We are spending February in Malaysia - to see if it could be our new home, your videos move us a long quicker! We always enjoy your videos.
Welcome to Malaysia (in advance). Have a good travelling to Melaka also and i recommend going to a place rarely visited by foreign tourists, that is Melaka Turtle Conservation & Information Center.
Since I married my Malaysian Chinese wife 41 years ago I have visited her country multiple times from the UK but have never eaten in an enclosed restaurant. I always eat at Malay hawker stalls or the multitude of open Chinese food stalls. 8 to12 ringgit a dish was the average price in 2018. I have not been back since pre covid so with inflation most probably prices are higher now. I'll soon find out as I am now applying for the spouse visa so hopefully will be back in January for the longer term.
Prices have not changed much. In fact, if you are flexible with your eating habits one could argue that prices are cheaper now. For example, instead of sitting at a mamak restaurant I simply cook rice at home and then walk to the mamak and order a full bag of chicken varuval to go. 10 ringgit. The food will last me for lunch and dinner and probably lunch tomorrow as well if I just boil some veggies along with it as a side dish. Just the other day I was coming home from the dentist and spied through a Dominos and was shocked to see they are still selling pizzas for the same price as 2018. 32 ringgit for two pizzas and garlic bread if you buy instore. Whereas online (which is where I usually order), the price is 36 for the same. I thought they raised the prices everywhere but now I see they only raised it online to perhaps account for a delivery fee because of all the issues with OPEC petroleum supply. If you are willing to drive to them, they will not charge you the extra 3-4 ringgit. I respect that.
I am currently in Bangkok and doing a food trail from a simple noodle shop to a slightly bougie italian pasta place and their prices range from KL kopitiam prices to Bangsar APW level. My most expensive dessert at Icon Siam was a Thai Bingso for a heart-stopping almost MYR$ 60 for 1 flavour. Three of us decided to share this one order since this Thai ice cafe has a Michelin star. Moreover it was a birthday treat for one of us. On most time we also hit the local street food. Our best deal was the famous Hong Kong Dim Sum which we were deliciously happy with the bill. As a whole Bangkok food prices is comparable to Kuala Lumpur when eating at slightly bougie cafes or restaurant. Not to be confused with places away from the city hub. Even to do a decent manicure is no cheaper than KL as my travel mate found out. In her words she can find better deals back home and in Bangkok they priced their nail services and break it down to nitty gritty so you end up paying higher. This is just from a small spa along the local backlane not even at any fancier hotel spa. Proud to say without prejudice Malaysia has a slight edge over Bangkok daily living. FYI - Prices at Boots or Watson is similar too for hygiene needs. 7- Eleven is the go to for local conveniences at a lower prices. It is popular among the locals especially students and office workers to hit the uncountable corner stores for quick snacks or drinks. Our observations are from 2 Malaysians and our Spanish friend who works in Bangkok. Overall our Spanish friend still favours the diversity of Malaysia despite working all over South East Asia. Of course it is his opinion without any prejudice. Thanks Taylor for this interesting video. Cheers.
Thank you for this video. Wonderful guessing game for the prices of food. Good content. All the delicious kueh for RM6.60, what a good value for your money. Guessed some right.
Someone like me who lives in Malaysia , I am pretty sure I have no Idea of this places. Maybe because I dont go out too often to eat. But thanks for sharing Taylor, will definitely try visiting these restaurant because it looks amazing.
🎉Yay! The little blue dot 🔵 is next to Taylor! Time for a new video about beautiful Malaysia! Hopefully more information in the near future about the changes to the retirement visa too! 😊
The places that you went are an upscale restaurants. You can easily get cheaper foods below RM18/- everywhere in Malaysia. Especially In the current situation we need to save up where prices of foods have gone up globally.
Upscale restaurants i would consider Zenzero (italian)Dominic (french) or Fuego(Latin American) these are the places where i used to go in KL. For 2 people easily 400 or 500RM. In KLCC there are many restaurants in this price range. So the restaurants mentioned by Andrew in this video are good options for westerners who dosent want to spend a fortune while in KL👍
Someone said your sofa was looking grubby? How rude! Ignore all such comments, Taylor. That person was either having a bad day or asking for some belachan to be thrown at him or her - nobody, not even a guest you've personally invited, has the right to make such a comment about your home, or even worse, the beautiful Mr. Earl Grey:)
I agree. Your apartment and everything in it looks like it’s something in a fashion magazine. Thanks for the restaurant list. I am going to try a few of them out when I am in KL.
Hello Taylor, i so glad to find your channel after i decide to be back my hometown country KL(Kepong condo) for good after 6 years@LA.your story given me more eyes opening as i consider myself newbie going to live there..Thanks for your story telling promoting goodwill of Malaysia and MM2H..hope one day we could meet up in real time as my brothers sisters still living at Kulim/Butterworth/Penang.
Hey Taylor. Yesterday during the Malaysia Budget presentation, the Prime Minister mentioned something regarding Malaysia My 2nd Home. FYI to check the news.
Hi, I got none correct😂... But my saliva was dripping all over my t-shirt seeing those awesome food. I dindt know KL has such a good selection of western food! 🎉
Dear foreigners !! I know Malaysia is very cheap for you but please don’t bring the tipping culture to Malaysia. We are proud of what we earn. Moreover there is already a service charge in your bill/check. You can see how this tipping culture is getting out of hand now in the USA
Hi Taylor hope all is well with you. When my wife and I are spending our annual 3 months in Malaysia we're always looking for senior priced buffets lol. One of our favorites is at the 1 World Hotel Cinnamon Cafe near 1 Utama shopping center. Lots of variety and as of this summer it was 64 RM per senior. Another is the Mitazu Japanese restaurant off Old Klang road. This will require a reservation as it's very popular for lunch with a large variety of Japanese items also around 60RM per senior. If you like all you can eat Dim Sum then Tung Yuen Chinese restaurant is very reasonable @ 49RM for seniors. Maybe we can get together next time we're in Malaysia. Take care and keep enjoying your time there we always do when we're there and over the last 25+ years have many friends we enjoy spending time with.
hi Taylor Out of 22 dishes u presented, I only got 7 right 😫, clearly i’m hopeless at guessing prices of foodin KL 😂 it was so much fun, please do more of it thanks
My favourite video! It cracked me up! It turned out to be a guessing game in our household. I suggest something similar with beer, wine and cocktails..
Hey Taylor, we LOVED this video and as a family all enjoyed playing guess the price 😁❤ and sorry about the Troll regarding your sofa (Rude) thanks again for the video
Hello dear Taylor! Yummy video 😋. Love your shirt-all your shirts 😄. You have inspired me to travel to Malaysia; I have watched all of your videos. I’m planning on spending November, December, and January in Kuala Lumpur. I’m a retired US citizen traveling solo. Taylor, could you please recommend a short-term rental agency? May I contact you directly? Thank you so much and best wishes! 👍🤗 💖
Malaysia is famous worldwide for its delicious street food which are really affordable. You can get a decent meal with an average of RM10.00 (approximately USD 2.00)
Thank you Taylor at least we've learn what your taste like. We xan copy next ime. I suggest you cook your favorite American breakfast. So we can experience something new.
Thanks for the info. KL is one of the very few cities where it might be cheaper to eat out 12-18 times a week compared to home cooking - imagine the savings in time and gain in convenience!. The low labour cost and cheaper cost of produce make that possible. The reason is that the government is subsidising the cost of living across the country. Hoping this is sustainable for the long term. KL is a fantastic dream vacation destination. One small shortcoming of Malaysian cuisine is that there are fewer beef dishes available in restaurants. It is probably because it is much more expensive than chicken, pork, and mutton. But Malaysian seafood is very affordable. Wow! The cost affordability is true for tourists and expats with the Western budget, but less so for locals with local budgets.
Hey Andrew, I totally connect with you especially on retirement in Malaysia, peninsula Malaysia in particular. Just a quick question, would u share your experience with regards to regular medical check ups / costs in Malaysia (if any) via their private hospital like Parkway Pantai for a foreigner? Thanks for your coming response.
Hi Taylor. Going to KL next January. I am trying to figure it out how much money I will spend daily with food, a few beers and transportation... Could you give me an idea about that? Greetings from Brazil!
Looking forward to this. However I am a tad concerned that you only seem to go to 17 restaurants. When I look at a KL map you could literally eat out every meal and never make it through every street stall, restaurant or bar in a lifetime. I'm looking forward to eating the local food and only paying between RM2-10. Although the western meals are about a third of the price I'd pay in Australia!
The temperature range is between 90F - 73 F or 32C - 23C on almost a daily basis. It is a land of eternal summer. You really need not bring much as almost everything can be obtained at a fraction of the price of UK or USA. You could buy a decent umbrella for USD3/- which you may need as it is the rainy season now (Oct - mid- Jan).
Life is too short to think about negativity just enjoy it DON'T COUNT and DON'T MAKE IT COMPLICATED........you never know when you will go FOREVER. As a local or traveller, l can see people just spent their time eating with families or friends everywhere. I mean NOT only in Malaysia but everywhere in the world.
For one, i like your house or apartment. There are neat and clean and yr kitten behave gently like you 😊. Talking about food, I do have to say the food looks yummy 😋 and prices is affordable. Hmm liver is not my fav actually. I remembered Back Alley restaurant in one if your vid. Thank you sharing your favorited hangout. Cheers.
This is western high end restaurant price range RM$25 to RM$40. Asian Chinese Noodles / Rice Range RM$8.50 To RM$18. You can do a video on RM$8.50 To RM$18 Price Range
Don’t know anything about this but found this with a Google search. As a digital nomad in Malaysia, you are not required to pay taxes on your income. However, you are liable to pay income tax if you work for a company or clients based in Malaysia. Other income is taxed at a rate of 30%.
Am surprised to hear you say 28 Ringgit is pushing it for a dessert. You should come to Singapore😂 KL isnt spared cost of living increases and the declining Ringgit. But its still pretty cheap.
@@andrewtaylor4558 Ok, hopefully the announcement will be very positive and soon. But apparently there are advocates on both sides of a more liberal MM2H which could raise prices and price out locals. It's understandable that they are cautious.
Taylor - Grubby sofa? I've always thought your apartment was rather nicely stylish. I would hope they were just kidding. But another good video for food. Do you eat at the hawker or street vendors? I understand it could be hit or miss but it's what makes the cuisine in Malaysia and SE Asia legendary. Another solid video!
😂 the prices is just way to high for locals to eat daily. we just cooked ourselves or eat at the cheap street food. still delicious and u got the street vibe. your taste are too fancy.
You are funny. I have never seen anybody who put a video with all the multiple choices for every dish. It sounds like my university entrance examination back in 1980' back in Taiwan. Mid January,2025. Me and my british friend will be visiting KL or Malaysia for the first time in our life. Winter get away. We will be staying for about 1 month. It looks like there are plenty choices of food as i see it. My favourite is dim sum though. Are they cheap or expensive???
Much cheaper than Jb.i would say fair as it is at a restaurant My goodness.even at the last Pasar Ramadan the foos almost double yr prize..not even taste good..sehh..kl have much better n nicer food of course 3ven Mamaks..and steak.wellb menate is ok..or at hotel .of course my choice is limited as i consume only halal food..i love chinese food but notany good chinese muslim food down here unlike in kl or selangor.or elsewhere ..like spore..
