Would you try raw fish congee? So much to eat in Chinatown Kuala Lumpur!! Follow us here : instagram.com/chopsticktravel & facebook.com/chopsticktravel
Most (Cantonese-)Chinese restaurants that are any good would cook congee fairly plainly, and would then add *thinly sliced* meat and/or other ingredients shortly before service -- the residual heat would cook the meat to a safe temperature. Fish congee is done the same way. I would not eat "sashimi" congee. Not only is it not the intent of the dish, but it also begs the question as to whether the restaurant is using true sashimi-grade seafood -- most likely not if you look at the price of each dish.
You arr doing the right way by cooking the raw fish in the hot porridge. Read this acticle GBS bacteria in raw fish www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/bacteria-in-raw-fish-that-infected-over-160-in-2015-a-public-health-threat
Sabrina is my favorite female youtuber. She's intelligent, down to earth, friendly, easy to understand, and comes across as a kind person. Luke and Sabrina make a dynamic duo. Thanks, you two. Your videos get better all the time.✌
I enjoy your videos very much. I especially appreciate that you are not "over the top" in your reactions like at least one other food blogger. I also like to learn about the culture of the places shown in the blogs I watch, so I encourage you to show and tell a little more about places like the temple that you visit.
1:30 I would put all the raw fish slices into the hot porridge - so while being cooked they imbue the porridge with their flavour. But I have also seen others eating your way. No right or wrong way apparently.
Fish congee is a popular Cantonese style rice porridge, commonly served in HK and Chinatowns all over that have Cantonese congee and noodles. It is called "yu pin jook" in Cantonese or sliced fish congee. Luke, you ate it the right way, but add all the fish slices into the congee and stir, not one piece at a time. This way there is still enough heat in the congee to cook the fish slices. Also, it is hard to overcook the fish, it will still remain tender and flaky.
Yes jst like steambot .. you put all at once and let the heat do the job, in Arab countries we cook everything for long time. I love the différences between countries/cultures
Both of you is very lucky to be there the best food in the world. Malaysia got lots of foods you both like enjoy your holiday there thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday there thanks
I like how you keep it real. Like saying the clams weren't the best. Too many youtube videos overhype food. I appreciate you being honest about the food.
Unopened clams are scary. No amount of ambience makes up for a stomachache. The fish congee looks great , that really got me salivating (plus its very cold here so it being scalding hot would help). Thanks for sharing.
The hidden temple is especially crowded during first day of Chinese new year. Malaysia is a diverse society with many festival celebration like Thaipusam, Hari Gawai, Hari Raya Haji, Pongal, Dumpling Festival, 9 emperor festival and Easter to name a few. Could plan your visit accordingly to experience them.
When I was in high school, I would head over to that restaurant for the fish porridge twice or thrice per week at 6am. I miss the porridge so much but I can no longer go there as I stay further away. I am glad you tried the porridge!
The cook might have added too much soy sauce until it got burnt a little at the bottom so you end up tasted slight bitterness. It's durian season and dabai season in East Malaysia now. You can have a short trip to Sarawak (Kuching or Sibu). If you want to try out dabai you have to go to Sibu.
Lala noodle could be quite recent. Lai Foong is famous for beef noodle. Possibly its 3rd generation operating the stall now. The Chinese temple is probably the first in KL. Not the oldest. Looks like you had some good food. Try fried Hokkien noodle if you have the chance.
Another great video. Super job, Luke &:Sabrina. As for clams that don't open when cooking, I've been told they are dead and should NOT be eaten. KUTGW. Love your productions. Thanks so much.
Excellent video guys, I love your street food videos. Every time I go as a tourist I take precautions about possible diseases due to lack of hygiene in some countries. Blessings.
I think the juice you drank with your claypot meal was not lime juice but ambarella juice. It is usually served with a dried plum fruit to balance out the acidic and tart flavor of the fruit.
Hello Luke hello Sabrina glad to see u guys arrived in Kuala Lumpur safe and sound. Honestly as a Singaporean is been 14 years i have not been to malaysia! I think i need to go there after watching your video
@@LukeMartin Yes u are right. If talking about Malaysian food i love beef rendang and chicken rendang. u eat with lemang the taste is OH! MY GOD! Nasi kandar.
15:39 The claypot chicken rice people probably chose 168 nominally because in Cantonese, it phonetically sounds similar to 'prospering all the way'. (eg. how most Chinese lean towards the number 8, or how hotels geared towards Chinese clientele omit the 14th floor)
its funny, here in Scandinavia porridge is only thought of as a sweet dish, savory porridge is pretty much unknown here, much less porridge with meat or fish :)
You should try the Fatty Crab next time in Petaling Jaya...you have to wait to get a table BUT its worth the wait in crabs !! Love KL and the food...and the people !!!
I think the red slices that kind of almost look like diagonally sliced slices of carrot is actually red ginseng root, (steamed and dried ginseng root) and the red ginseng itself is quite bitter and "soapy". But it's also an aquired taste and very very healthy; it an adaptogenic herb.
The bitterness of the claypot rice is due the black(dark) soy sauce. Malaysian dark soy sauce has less sugar than Indonesian (Kicap Manis). The soy sauce needs to be cooked to remove the bitterness. The video shows the dark sauce been added at the end of cooking which didn't have time to cook. I add the dark sauce at the beginning when I cook my version of claypot rice. The brand of soy sauce also makes a difference.
Thanks Luke and Sabrina. Like I like you honest take on all foods you say it the way it teats. That rice pot was dark brown from some type of sauce it didn't look too good
Wait a minute ! It’s not Saturday ! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for the early video . I love KL . Great food . Yum yum ...., do we still get another video on Saturday ? 🙏😎 cheers you two !
Hi to both of you! You guys were at all of my favourite eating places...raw fish porridge, Lai Foong Restaurant, tau foo fah & dried longan drink 😊 The beef noodles at Lai Foong Restaurant is also good. And opposite the Hon Kee Porridge, there is a grilled Portugese fish stall at night which will make you sweat as it is spicy! 😂 Do try the next time you are in KL!
I haven't tried.the raw fish congee. It was uknown here in the Philippine. By the look of it, it seemed to be delicious. I must try it. If you've enjoyed it, I would enjoy it too.
Most of Chinatown restaurants use pork and non halal chicken n beef... And plastic plates all the way even with the heat, very unhealthy + the Chinese are the rude part of Malaysia.
You were eating the raw fish and porridge correctly so yes, the piping hot porridge was meant to help cook the raw slices of fishes. The next time you go to KL, you should try the KL Hokkien Mee (noodle), Char Kuey Teow, Laksa and Asam Laksa, Chicken rice, Barbequed Chicken Wings, Ampang Yong Tau Foo, Kajang Satay, Roti Canai and so much more...
Luke you missed the beef noodles in Lai Foong....you were sitting just next to the stall....It's very famous too and extremely tasty...different from Taiwan but good in its own way.
The beef noodles at the Clam Noodle place is supposedly quite famous, but been there once and after dealing with how rude the store owner and his worker was, I just got up and left.
The fish is best to eat raw since its so well marinated with sesame and ginger . There will not be any fishy smell or taste since the fish is so fresh.
Clam noodles look good to me. Noodles don’t look overcooked either. I know I would enjoy this quick breakfast or brunch. China looks like Seattle to me. How is the air quality? People are friendly. Clay food pot is looking good, just very dry looking.

I like the visuals of claypot cooking. It brings back my childhood memories of claypots.
Such a cool process!
Both of you is very lucky to be there the best food in the world. Malaysia got lots of foods you both like enjoy your holiday there thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday there thanks
I like how you keep it real. Like saying the clams weren't the best. Too many youtube videos overhype food. I appreciate you being honest about the food.
Luke and Sabrina welcome to my country...the claypot chicken rice near petaling street is nicer but much more expensive...好喜欢你们的录影!!! 加油!!!
Well done Both , again nice presentation and content Xx..Happy Trailsxx
Thanks!

It's durian season and dabai season in East Malaysia now. You can have a short trip to Sarawak (Kuching or Sibu). If you want to try out dabai you have to go to Sibu.
Oh my !! look at that claypot rice !!! 😍 why am i looking at this before i go to bed ?....... 😭
Thanks Danny!
That morning breakfast with the raw fish looks great! Hey you guys have a great day, thanks for showing us around that area. Take care & God Bless
It does make a great breakfast!!
Raw fish with porridge looked fuking disgusting.
Malaysia has probably the best Chinese food in the world. Explains why many mainland Chinese are migrating there for the Chinese food.
Miss KL so much. Hopefully this pandemi will finish soon
Omg The clay pot chicken place, they called it apokenfan that’s right under my apartment I miss it so much!!!
Lala noodle could be quite recent.
Lai Foong is famous for beef noodle. Possibly its 3rd generation operating the stall now.

More please! And welcome to Malaysia! And can we have more restaurant visit in one videos! Thank you!
It was like a short trip to Malaysia for me 😊

This is a great video. Thank you for your honest remarks. I have become a fan.

Ginger warms up the body, so it's great in the cold season! 😋

Keep up the great work guys!!

It supposed to had some burn rice at the bottom of the claypot to make if more fragrance..
you should try prawn mee near chinatown area, that's awesome
Ive had it before! Super good!
The clay pot joint is named 168. They spell it out in Malay - satu enam lapan aka one six eight...
Nice!
I look forward to my 8 days in Malaysia in May.
Enjoy your trip!
Still loving your videos! Please keep it up.
Sincerely
Rod
Thanks for watching Rod! More videos coming soon!
