Hi Doug; Malaysia it’s very beautiful country, you did a wonderful job explaining and showing the town. Glad you have such great visit with your followers…
Omg ...you are the oracle of knowledge...great camera techniques...really curious how it was done ....like me I find local knowledge is the best ... especially for food
Thank you, James. If there was any knowledge in this video about food, it definitely came from Hadi. Not from me. 😀 But by the end of the day, I knew a lot more. Hadi was a good guide, and he knew a lot about the town of Kajang and about Satay Kajang.
It's actually the MRT system, Doug. The LRT (the first urban rail system in Malaysia) was built in the mid-90s, just in time for the 98 KL Commonwealth Games. I get the confusion, though, as they're both essentially urban rail public transport systems. I was the comms director for the project from 2012 to 2016, and we wanted to have a singular brand for the rail systems but it was rejected. In short, LRT, MRT and the Monorail systems gets you arounf KL and urban areas near or around it, while the KTM Komuter system gets your further out. Payment systems are integrated, though. The KTM line also extends to other states of course, being the national line. The ETS or electric train system can get you to Ipoh and Butterworth and cities down south comfortably too.
Doug, I hope you are getting some good ad money from Google. There seems to be about 2 ads every 5 mins or so. Which is great. That means Google thinks you are a money spinner for them. 😁
Changed to Kajang line because Sungei Buloh has been shifted over to the MRT2 line from Sungei Buloh to Putrajaya line. The line goes underground at Maluri and surfaces at Damansara Heights Pavillion.
Right this moment, I don't have plans to return to Myanmar. I haven't looked into the situation there for a while, so I don't even know how much the country has opened up since the pandemic and the coup. There is definitely a lot more to see there.
I'm not a fan of satay. Maybe because I couldn't find good flavourful satay in my home town. Usually the star is the peanut sauce and not the meat. In Malaysia, 'sate' is now commonly spelled 'satay' even in Malay language. Same as noodle. It's common to use the English spelling 'mee' instead of 'mi'. 'Keju' now is commonly known as 'cheese'. Terima kaseh Hadi belanja Doug makan sate Kajang. Moga dimurahkan rezeki anda. Amin.
It took me a while to figure that out, but Hadi eventually explained it to me. It's interesting. And we had a short conversation about it, but I don't think that ended up in the final video. 🙂
A funny thing is that I know a LOT more about everything AFTER I shoot the video and start to edit it. At the time, everything is new and I don't really understand a lot. But when the day is over, I have to time to do some research and I see and hear a lot more in the video while I am doing the editing. In this case, I just happened to look things up on Google Maps during the day, and I realized that the river couldn't be the Klang. It was going in the wrong direction for that. And I figured out it was actually the Langat. And then in the video, I kept pronouncing it "LanKAT" instead of Langat. It's just the sort of thing that happens in a casual vlog/video like this. 🤪
wow! you carry a box of tissues with you? I mean I thought you can get that in any Restaurant in Malaysia and it doesn't even have 'Tim Horton' branding. Just kidding.
I try to always have tissues with me. They're handy throughout the day. In fact, most of the restaurants I've visited lately haven't provided tissues at the table. One of my regular eateries is still Vinny Jeyaa, near my hotel, and they don't have tissues available. I put my package of tissues on the table, and people from other tables come over to mine and ask if they can have some. 🙂

What a day and Hadi was such a great great host.
Thank you Hadi for being a good host to Doug.
Thanks to Hadi for a great sate tour. A must go on my next trip to Malaysia.
35:15 Bingo! Those that say kajang satay is no big deal anymore have never found out about this spot. Enjoy! I go there by MRT from Kota Damansara.

WOW Doug, you mentioned before you were not a foodie, but after this I will call you "Doug, the Satay Connoisseur".
More Hadi! He is as cool and chill as Doug, a great makan companion
the reviews of the satay outlets in Kajang is epic.. you did a much better job than Mark wien.. well done..
I agree with that.
Mark is overrated anyway 😀

Haji rono is my fav. It's more traditional. You order n eat n reorder n eat. Pay when you are fully done.
Hello Senior Comrade Doug.
Doug, I hope you are getting some good ad money from Google. There seems to be about 2 ads every 5 mins or so. Which is great. That means Google thinks you are a money spinner for them. 😁

Mr Bob from Starbucks coffee ,,say hi to your host,,
Stay safe and stay happy 🇲🇾😊🍗🍗
Usually served with onions to counter the charcoal effects.
Great review….send my regards to Hadi😊
If you are wondering why they serve a lot of peanut sauce is because people would just eat the sauce, just like what you did. 😁
Hi Doug. Any plans to return to Myanmar at any point?
Right this moment, I don't have plans to return to Myanmar. I haven't looked into the situation there for a while, so I don't even know how much the country has opened up since the pandemic and the coup. There is definitely a lot more to see there.
Drooling 🤤

6:26 i was about to correct you about the river but somehow you're on autocorrect mode 😁
