One more important aspect you guys missed out, where English is a widely spoken language in Malaysia, so there is no language barrier when you're in Malaysia. Enjoy your stay!
Very true! Thanks for adding it here :)
Agreed..
On behalf of Malaysian thanks for promoting our country 🙏👍🥰
It was definitely our pleasure 😊
There nothing other place like Malaysia, it’s so unique that so many cultures and people live peacefully together, a cultural melting point, Malaysia TRULY ASIA🇲🇾
Alvin Liew...you are absolutely NOT wrong!!!😡🤣🤣🤣🤸🤸
Yeah, it's "uniqueness" lies on the insanity. Far from the Paradise People Promote.
Just for People that Want to Eat Disgusting food 3 times a Day and Get their health Destroyed. Just for people who Want to feel Neglected and lonely, because these Malaysians are the Most Unfriendly, the Most Uncaring, and the Most COLD people that I've ever encountered in The World.
At Batu Caves…….
It’s Truly Malaysian Trash 😢😢
Stopped going there
der respect the gods😢
Trash….
Great video guys! We have been exploring KL just recently as well, and I'd say impressed is even an understatement! Such a beautiful city isn't it 😍
100%!! KL is our favorite city on SE Asia so far 🤩
What I can say, Jalan Alor doesn't offer authentic Malaysian food, and it is pricey because its more to touristy side... 🙂😉
Hopefully both of you will stay longer to experience Ramadhan here. Ramadhan is a holy month which will be celebrated by Muslims all around the world. In Malaysia, they will fast - starting on 23.3.2023 until 22.4.2023. All mosques will be extremely crowded at night (in a good way) with people congregationally breaking fast at dawn and doing prayers. Most eateries will be closed during the day.
Things to try in Ramadhan: try to fast like a local, visit Ramadhan bazaar in the evening (A must! It's like a food festival), join an iftaar event, celebrate hari raya with the locals on 23.4.2024, light up some fireworks and firecrackers with the villagers, bake raya cookies, collect raya money and attend open houses (starting on 23.4.2024).
On the last few days of Ramadhan (22.4.2023), the big cities will be empty as the residents will go back to their hometown to celebrate Hari Raya. You will watch news about super long traffic jam from KL to the north and east coast side. Do not drive to the northern or eastern part during this time as the traffic will be extremely and terrifically bad. All flights/bus/train tickets will be sold out too.
🎶oo oo oo balik kampong oo oo oo balik kampong oo oo oo balik kampong🎶 hati rianggg,🤸🤸🤸
welcome to Negeri Sembilan
Thanks @FatinZ because this info is very useful for me as I am going to KL, Malaysia during the last week of Ramadan.
Malaysia rank no 1 most visited country in South East Asia from Jan to October 2023 with 26 million tourist coming to Malaysia.
Wow, that's amazing! And we know why, it's incredible 😍
Our kiddos enjoyed experiencing much of what KL has to offer…especially the kind people and great food! Thanks for sharing!
man watching this video is making me want to go back to KL already even though I was there just less than a year ago haha! KL and Buenos Aires are my two favourite places to stay in long term as a digital nomad. I'm in Rio at the moment though.
Nasi Lemak with fried chicken price at RM20, it is scammed. Suggest you to visit Merdeka Square, Central Market & Petaling Street. If you have more time, explore more to Malacca. Just 1h drive from Kuala Lumpur. Cheers from KL~
I dont think its scam. It's prize for forigner. If local and forigner same prize what is special between foriegner and local people?
@@harzeyquinn447 We don't have local vs foreigners prices in food in Malaysia bro
I think the seller is not from local..
For that kind of nasi lemak I believe it should be cheaper.
Look at the size of the chicken breast at 16:10 ,amount of proteins in the nasi lemak…the container was fulled up to brim,
Also the location they bought the Nasi Lemak…it is Jalan Alor, right in the city centre.
I think it was a fair price.
I had been to Malaysia Last month. It was awesome. Wanted to stay for some more days. Amazing place 👌❤️
Please come and visit Malaysia once more... Malaysians love U
Guys, you should spend time on Langkawi Island or the islands off the states of Terengganu and Sabah. Better value for your money.
Fair review overall, thanks
Not sure if KL is underrated as a tourist destination - Is among the 10 most visited cities in Asia. I guess only westerners haven't discovered it that much yet compared to Bali and Thailand.
I guess the Chinese temple sees fewer tourist compared to Batu because the nearest train is like 2 miles away. But it is a beauty
Nasi Lemak the special sauce amongother is Sardines normally. If you like food you should go to Penang
Hi from Kuala Lumpur. I appreciate your accurate observations about Kuala Lumpur. I've noticed that some costs, particularly those for food, are rather high, especially when compared to local salaries. When compared to before Covid, prices have significantly increased. However, Malaysia is a truly Asian country with multiple ports. Thus, please visit Malaysia if you don't have enough time to experience the flavours of all the Asian countries. You would feel that you're in a small potion of India after visiting the Little India in Brickfield, or in China at the Chinatown, in Indonesia at Malay Kampong Baru, in the Phillipine in the Kota Raya, in the Middle East countries at Arab Street, Ain Arabia, or in Japan at the Mont Kiara, you may feel as though you are there. There are also a few small Bangladeshi communities scattered throughout the city, a small Korean community in Ampang, and a small European community in Bangsar.
Of course, KL also offers a wide range of food as well, including dishes from all the Malaysian states as well as regional and international cuisine. Because each ethnic group in Malaysia, including the Chinese, Indians, and Malays, still follows its own culinary traditions, we have a wide variety of food. Exparts' restaurants also serve the food of other Asian ethnic groups, such as the Japanese, Koreans, Arabs, Thais, Indonesians, Myanmarese, Bangladeshis, Nepalis, Vietnamese, and many others. We hope your time in Malaysia is enjoyable for you both.
Same here in the USA. It seems to be a Worldwide thing. For whatever reason, restaurants and businesses have raised their prices way too much; and some people think it's because of the cost of transportation (Gasoline) which raised the Cost of foods and other items; Since they have to be transported.
@@12567NoYouCannot - It could be for legitimate reasons, but it could also be to take advantage of the situation. Yet, if we choose to keep working, our income will stay the same, and we won't have many reasons to be dissatisfied at the moment.
@@noordinbeldenlex1620 World wide inflation caused by Russia vs Ukraine war. Some countries had it worst, their currency just plunged lower
@@nutzhazel - It is really terrible for all of us that the globe is currently plagued with the war in Ukraine before we can fully recover from the Covid19 and now we are further burdened by growing economic woes.
I've noticed the Prices too and They Are Not as Cheap as people on these TH-cam Videos Say. Plus, things are Difficult to Get.
MALAYs..is dominant race in Malaysia is about 61%..of population of MALAYSIA.
This is only a bit information:
To actually experience everything in Malaysia, you need at least 4 to 5 years to complete at least 80% to 90% of experience in Malaysia. But, if you want to feel each occasion, just take 1year + 2 months
Not another dull traveling vlog
thanks for the great content! i'm actually going to Kl in a few weeks. was wondeing if you could share the link to the airbnb that you were staying? it looked amazing
Great photos!
I'm going to Kuala Lumpur soon and this video was so informative! Love your guy's energy. You've earned a new subscriber :)
So happy to hear that 🥰 Thanks for sharing - wishing you an amazing trip!!
Wow tall, green trees and tall buildings 😮 Thanks for sharing
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
I’m pretty sure you missed half of the Eco jungle!! There’s another massive area on the right as you enter the park from the KL tower entrance! There’s monkeys and loads of bird life down there
not only Kuala Lumpur, you should try visiting many other states all over Malaysia and you'll definitely see much more! Go to Kelantan/Terengganu, then head over to Penang, then to Melaka and Johor...then what about Sabah Sarawak! I'm sure you'll feel there's something different among all the states and eventually that is what makes Malaysia...Malaysia... ;)
Great vlog guys! We stayed in KL at least 5 times, we love it!
clear sound n video.. superb editing... great n honest content.. bravo
Welcome to Malaysia! Great vlog that highlights the beauty of Malaysia which is the diversity of cultures. Really looking forward for new videos regarding your experience in Malaysia. Btw, that nasi lemak is just too expensive! RM20 for a nasi lemak with a piece of chicken? You'll get better price at Nasi Lemak Wanjo in Kampung Bharu. Plus, there's a lot of food options there. My opinion, try asking the locals for their go to eating spots, this way you'll experience Malaysia like the locals! And trust me, there's more to explore with the foods. It never ends because it's a mix of many cultures. Plus, you haven't travel to other states yet where you can get the best Kampung (village) vibes and dishes which offers more food options hahahahahaha
Welcome to Malaysia Truly Asia
Malaysia Land of a Million Zmile
KL is quiet because we don't use our car horns even in a massive traffic jam unless for emergency. Unlike Jakarta, Manila or Bangkok where the traffic can be very loud with car horns that adds to the chaos and tension.
Except at lrt hang tuah area🤣
It's a matter of lifestyle, if you like a more laidback and relaxing lifestyle Malaysia is for you. Singapore is a city state with limited space, and it's is kind of rigid. I prefer Malaysia because I can always just go to the mountains, islands or beaches to relax without actually leaving the country.
My best friend is a police officer in Singapore. She told me past midnight especially on weekend, all hell break loose! She had to eat more to be bulky so she can confront those crazy people! In fact if you compare percentage of population and crime, Malaysia is safer!
@@imnotreal7922Small, boring, expensive country. Prices keeps going up like crazy. No jungles, forests, mountain etc Nowhere to explore amongst other things. Even the locals go to Malaysia especially Johore state to unwind and do shopping 😂 Foreigners come to this tiny country to work and make Money
Hi guys... Malaysia has manyyyyyy foreign workers working in restaurants, also free to roam and enjoy our cities. Most of us Malaysians can communicate well in English, so yeah, just wanting to let you know that some you have seen or met may not be locals... Enjoyyy Malaysia!
Remember to look beyond the obvious..and understand the discreet details of what you're looking at before you make any judgemenent so as to avoid misunderstanding and misjudgements...
U think malaysia is back dated is already grown long time ago u should visit putrajaya mosque
You should try nasi lemak wanjo at kampung baru famous nasi lemak in KL
It's a BIG spoon, because it is the serving spoon :P. It's a big portion because it is supposed to be for sharing, and you're supposed to use the big spoon to scoop some of it onto your own plate.
Can try nasi lemak wanjo at kampung baru.. more cheaper🤗
U should avoid jalan alor. Super expensive food price over there.
KL is my favourite city that I have seen with Bangkok a close second. KL is very diverse with different cultures and food. I agree that Eco Forest was a bit of a rip off and I would have gone to Perdana Botanical Gardens. Thien Hou Temple at sunset is amazing. Wiliyah Masjisd is beautiful but so is KL National Masjid and Jamek Masjid especially at night. Bukit Bitang is lively at night and loved it myself. Batu Caves was OK but crazy monkeys and yes litter problems. Obviously the main attraction is Petronas Towers and the fountain show at night in KLCC Park. One major advantage of Malaysia is English Proficiency relative to other SE Asia countries with the exception of Philippines and Singapore
selamat datang ke Malaysia (welcome to Malaysia) 🤗
perhaps can start travelling to Whole states in Peninsular Malaysia (from north to south) and to Borneo (sabah & sarawak) as well
You guys can visit Putrajaya.
15:43 You can easily get nasi lemak with fried chicken at other places at well below RM10. On average, food prices at Jalan Alor are about 100% higher than other average areas, probably due to the high rental costs.
I intending to visit KL in August this year, is there any advice to go and stay also about transportation, how to get to the location. Thanks...
Thanks
I hope u happy in KL..welcome to Malaysia guys..🤟👍👍👍
Hi..welcome to my country Malaysia
Of course it is worth visiting KL. I live outskirt of KL, everytime I go there I myself was fascinated.
Trully indeed...I missed KL staying there for 35 years...now I have moved to BP Johore. But once in a while I will catch a bus to KL..and stays at my brother's condo...fuuh
"Absolutely love your journey videos! 🌍 Watching from beautiful Namibia and wishing for the day when I can join you on one of your adventures. Keep the amazing content coming! 🚀✈️"
Nice vid! Well edited and informative, keep it up! Which hotel/apartment did you guys stay at with that pool and view?
Thank you 😊 And this was our Airbnb in KL: www.airbnb.com/rooms/50045492
Joy your staying guys... Welcome and invites others
Hi, anybody know the best time to visit KL? we have planned to visit KL next year, probably early of January (Hope not raining or hot a lot). What do you think?
Welcome guys to KL MALAYSIA.
The nasi lemak is to expensive normally at roadside stall it only cost u around 10 ringgit for chicken that big.
Enjoy your stay, tour dudes....
Kl or every road in malaysia busy on morning 8-9am and 6-8pm
Go to job and back home....
You should have taken the KLIA Express from KLIA to city (KL Sentral)…from there, it’s a short Grab ride (actually cheaper than taking taxis)
It is cheaper to take Grab for 2 persons and more compared to the express train. The most economic way is to take airport express bus to major station like KL Sentral.
@@MeyyCat > I used to frequent KL on solo trips…so for me, I always take the KLIA Express.
Also, my hotels or apartments are usually nearby the train or LRT stn.
I take Grab only if I know the traffic isn’t bad or the destination is not accessible by train or LRT.
Yes .. Malaysia is very underrated compare to what it actually offers .. amazing country .. much different from asian stereotype for a country .. truly Asia !! Love from Pakistan
KL is the next future city of Asia, perfect business hub too.
Amber rest located at Bangsar South..
Just curious about that drone footage. How were you able to fly over the temples? Its allowed?
Welcome to mlysia guys..hv a nice stay...
Where's the video link where you ate Scorpian?
Can I check which apartment did you stay at, and how much did it cost? The pool and Petronas tower view looks awesome
Wow kula lumpur city very beutiful.. modern city.. love from tajikistan
you missed the saloma bridge not far from Petronas twin tower
Welcome to malaysia guys
First of all, I thought Ryan Serhant (Million Dollar Listing New York) is coming to Malaysia! Sumner, you almost look like him. Hahaha.
Jalan Alor (for food) and Petaling Street (for shopping) are popular among tourist but not Malaysians. Although those places offer variety of food and goods, but the price is totally over charge and unreasonable. For example Nasi Lemak with chicken is never more than RM10 at local stalls.
I suggest you go to Kampung Baru for malay food, Brickfields for Indian food and Petaling Street for chinese food. You will see more authentic local food there.
On top of that, don't forget our Burger Ramly. I know you guys from US, but our burger is second to none! 😅
Enjoy your days ahead in Malaysia. (done subscribed!)
Petaling Street used to be for locals but not anymore 😅
@@mnbr6884 Petaling st is more like bangla st..
@@azlirazli7500 I meant the prices
Not a slightest glimpse of Ryan Serhant
15:31 It could be due to allergy rather than poisoning. Us Malay (Malayo-Polynesians), Chinese and Indians don't have much allergy problem except for those of us who have Middle Eastern and Eurasians blood in them. So we are not that sensitive about allergies problem.
Chinese restaurants like to use peanut oil to fry fish.
Great shot. Cool vlogs. Welcome to Malaysia. Do enjoy our hospitality, multi-culture, multi religious, multi-diversity nations. Stay safe guys 👍🤜🤛
What an excellent video.... Happy to see you 2 enjoy visiting Malaysia... Dont forget about east Malaysia...Borneo really beautiful....👍
U should go to Kampung Baru & try the nasi lemak & for that price u can have chicken, beef & some seafood as well.🤩
You should go to putrajaya
welcome to Malaysia..just wish both of u can stay till Hari Raya festival.
Planning to visit KL, looks like a lot of places are free to get in for sight seeing unlike Thailand.
Yes, they are! We were very surprised about that haha And you will love KL for sure!! Check our this video on the TOP 5 things to do we recommend: th-cam.com/video/48z6hRLiRuk/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugzq2hE6b8DnChcrZnt4AaABAg
Welcome to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Hope both of you have a wonderful and great experience here. RM20 for that nasi lemak with fried chicken.? I think that is way too over price.
No shocker when the food bought from Jalan Alor.
Yup, definitely a tourist price😂
Did you say that the Petronas Towers are "infamous"? Why?
7:03 its called a shared portion. big spoon is for you to scoop for yourself or your partner.
Come over to Cameron Highlands 😊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
Jalan Alor has some of the expensive worst food in Kuala Lumpur. It is cheaper and tastier food to eat at restaurants somewhere else ( even at malls) . Petaling Street and Jalan Alor prices are exorbitantly high. MOST Malayisian would not patronise these places.
*I am Malaysian, Welcome to Malaysian, Enjoyed ❤🇲🇾❤️🇲🇾❤️🇲🇾❤️🇲🇾❤️🇲🇾❤️🇲🇾❤️🇲🇾❤️🇲🇾*
Do more research on food or get a food guide. Better to go to wanjo at kampung baru for nasi lemak.
*Welcome to Malaysia Truly Asia Good foods, rainforest good beach & others many More Enjoyed thanks for sharing very good videos*
🇲🇾♥️💖❤️🩹💗💗🤩🥰🇲🇾💖❤️🩹💗♥️💝🤩🇲🇾
As a Malaysian..the reason why i dont like Batu Caves because they can't keep clean this beautiful of nature..and some hindus they dont border how to keep clean as tourism spot..and i really hated this kind of behaviours..BTW..you guys must visit to KL ECO PARK near KL TOWER..and Botanical Garden in TASIK PERDANA KL..where you can go to visit THE WORLDS LARGEST BIRDS PARK..
1st time watching your video, 1st;ly, the food you eat was super expensive even for tourist standard.. you can actually eat Nasi Lemak anywhere in Malaysia as cheap as 1.5 USD with chicken, basicnasik lemak for 40 US cents. Northern China meals are not native and its a novelty restaurant.. u can actually eat local chinese noodles also at around 1.50 USD and much more delicious and wider variety. If you're still in Malaysia, eat where the locals eat and not tourist spots way cheaper & tastier.
Would you compare it to Singapore as it looks very similar, also with the train system, is the Wise card accepted?
The city itself is quite different from Singapore in our opinion but the people are similar and all very nice! Unfortunately, I'm not sure about the Wise card and we did not use the train system while there :/
yes wise are accepted here.. most of shop are using cashless. they accepted apple pay as well
Come to sabah east malaysia
Must try local cheap option -: Kg Baru - Nasi lemak wanjo, ramly burger special - street stall burger, Roti canai+teh tarik / maggie goreng (fried maggie) - any mamak
I have a question. I have a 20 day vacation and I want to visit both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. How many days should I spend in each of those cities? Should I spend 10 days in each City or should I spend more time in one city in less time in the other?
Also what is the best mode of transportation to go from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and then back?
Great shots, excellent editing, lively narration...of the most multicultural city in the world...
Wow. Hell of a video maker. Very cinematic. You guys deserve hundreds of thousands of subscribers!
Just follow where the locals buy food, jalan alor is a great introductory sample of food, but, price is..... 😩
Why is street food so pricey now? It's preferable to eat at a restaurant or at a mall food court.
I would suggest making local friends who can take you around the food places so they can advice you on what to order and also prevent you from being scammed
how are the drone regulations there? did you have any issues?
Dont forget visit to PUTRAJAYA..
Coming here beginning of February for 2 days . Staying at shangri-la hotel , can't wait to visit these places and try Malaysian food
You'll LOVE it!!
You should try nasi lemak at kampung baru
The architecture of the Turkish Mosque has a lot in common with the Orthodox Byzantine Christian Church where it all originated.
For Nasi Lemak, best go to Restaurant Wanjo in Kampung Baru. You shouldn't pay more than RM10 for what you had at Jalan Alor.
Thank you for your honest impressions. We appreciate your sincerity.
"Frie Durian" I can relate..
