Chicken "chop" and Malaysian "western" food are actually Hainanese style cooking made for the British when we were colonized. Cheese baked rice is actually a Hong Kong style baked fried rice with cheese topping and usually seafood. Just some trivia I thought you'd enjoy. :)
Lamb shank...we have that in Malaysia too. We have food from all over the world. Americans say our KFC is better than in US. Our chicken is fresh wheras KFC chicken is processed and frozen.
You and Rachel are so meant to be. You finish off each other’s sentences. I love watching your videos. Kids are well behaved too. You are Malaysia’s ambassadors.
I'm pretty certain Logesh knows this is one "version" of western food in Malaysia. You could get other versions in places such The Ship, Victoria Station, Tony Romas. Then you have the clubhouse versions - Selangor Club, Lake Club...The real deal western food including steak is available at certain specialised restaurants (for examples a few in Changkat Bukit Bintang KL) and at five star international hotels that employ western or western trained chefs.
It just surprised me that Rachel didn't ask what a chicken chop is... lol When I told my American friends chicken chop, they be like "what's a chicken chop?" "is it a chicken getting chopped?" XD
All my life I thought chicken chop is a legit western food, till one day I looked up the recipes for it, and finding zero western chef's recipe. All are recipes from Malaysians or Asians.
Malaysianised 'western' food are mostly adaptations of British meals 'perfected' by the Hainanese (Hailam) cooks who used to work as chefs for the British when they were here as colonialists. The famous Hailam tea, roti bakar with butter and kaya, cream custurd pie, sago gula Melaka, steamed chicken rice, sheperd's pie, lamb stew and mee Hailam basah are some of the most savoury eating experiences one can enjoy.
haha. 15% i almost got it right. yes. malaysian western food (eg: steaks, pasta, chops, etc) are... well malaysianized typecasted stereotyped food.but there are some shops that make it much more accurate to american, or british cuisine. but those... don't get really popular with the locals as much. it's like 'haiya, why so few gravvy, i paid big bucks no gravy. walaoweh steak so expensive but inside still pink not cooked. amende ni wei, buat spagheti kering je, apsal sos sikit sgt? ngapa bah ini spagheti aglio olio nda ada ayam/udang. kosong saja bah'. so.... yeah. the 'western' food got 'localized' to fill local demands unless its those specialist irish, english, swedish, american places though that try to keep it as authentic.
the same way i prefer arabic food prepared by arabic descendants or vietnamese food prepared by vietnamese or japanese shop /japanese trained/standard ramen if i'm going for authenticity.
Accurate. The Malays or malaysian in general love wet food. That's why most of our food is very saucy. We do love our sauces haha. Hell we Malays even butcher the Char kuey teow by making it super wet because the original char kuey teow is too "kering" haha
The Western food here in Malaysia tastes very different from in the US. I've a suggestion here, perhaps Rachel could also do some American Western food at home? Would that be okay too? 😊

0:05 My first "gaji" (paycheck),I treated myself at Chilli's in Midvalley Megamall for their RM50 Steak... that was 20 years ago , and Chiili's is (was?) the "pinnacle" of Western food in Klang Valley 😁
malaysian western food are derive from British food ,As we know malaysia is a past colonial country so most of these western food are cooked by hainanese cooks who work in the ship ,you tell that to these foreigners including British themselves ,they will not know it because it already changed to suit the local.So for Rachel ,this is something unique as well
*Your VLOGS are just getting better and more legit and entertaining and informative after each one episode uploaded sporadically and I luv them all cos you are so creative*
Weird. I went to Beato once and ordered their aged steak, it was flavourful sure but also had a bit of a funk to it. I gave them another go but the funkiness still got to me. I get it, it's a dry-aged ribeye, but well...I guess aged steaks aren't for me. Whatever makes you happy though! 🍖
@@bag3lmonst3r72 Same for me.Aged steak are just not my cup of tea also.Im not saying its not nice.Im simply saying its not for me.Our pallate are differents.So feel free to dissagree..
Its not budget. Its actually hainanese delicacy. Please google up on the british colonial side .Because years comes by..many go through fusion so many may forgotten the origin
@@soni-soni So I think the correct term should be western/eastern fusion food.I think we have lots of such food here in Malaysia. Roti Canai originated from India.But u will never find roti sardin, roti pisang etc in India.Those r uniquely Malaysia. If u happen to find one - the owner must be Malaysian.I used to stayed there for about 4 years. Same like Malay version of Asam Laksa & Char Kue Tiaw.Its a bit different than the ORI chinese style.
Malaysian western food, especially if it is a local brand, has English influence rather than American. The local Hailam people kinda infused Colonial influence and created their western food. America was never part of this influence.
Why is the steak chewy? In Malaysia, we cook a thin piece of steak until it's past well done. Cause most don't like to look and eat meat that is even remotely a bit red
I think because most Malaysian don't do sous vide technique. Steaks should always be grilled for just a bit of time, as it was already pre-cooked with sous vide. I see many steaks preparation videos from America, they do sous vide first.
@@afiqazman6615 bukan bro, sebab melayu ingatkan merah dalam daging tu darah and makan darah tu haram dalam islam. Sebenarnya bukan darah, tapi tu lah susah nak explain dekat melayu sbb tk bnyk yg membaca . Aku rasa makcik makcik bila basuh daging lembu tu kalau boleh sampai putih takda merah langsung, goreng ayam pun sampai kering boleh buat serunding
Bcos American like their steaks cooked medium rare. I used to work in American steakhouse & mostly the customers want their steaks (depends on the cut) cooked medium rare or medium. Well done is dry, tough & not juicy.
@@hmn5140 yeah, westerners they are big time meat eaters. So they know their preference of meat well. Over here we consume more carbs like rice and noodles on a daily basis. So our taste preference for meat is different as we like things to be well done and not raw. Yeah it's just preference.
My first experience in Asia’s rank fifth steakhouse was amazing. But very expensive. The steak and rack of lamb I ordered, it blew my mind. So delicious. Total bill was RM1k. Worth the experience…
After 15th century, Portuguese, Dutch and the English mainly had colonies in Asia. Therefore we can see many variations of food that have adopted from Western Europe however being influenced by native tastes as well.
I think you should go to Victoria Station... it's the best steak house in Malaysia... It is located at Jalan Ampang... Try their spare Ribs... U won't regret it...
Hi Kumar, Rachel & Fam. If you are still in Msia when you read this, try D'Tavern in Port Klang. It serves Western Food. Menu is not too big, and the food is simple and not pretentious. It's owned by a jovial guy that everyone calls Uncle George. Their lamb shank is to die for. This place was the go-to hang out for many navy sea men in the 90s where many American frigates docked in Port Klang,
I would like to recommend the Western Style Restaurant, first at IOI City Mall, called NY Steak Shack. Next at Mont Kiara called Las Vacas Steakhouse and lastly, if both of you like to eat seafood, this Western Style Seafood Restaurant might be worth it to check it out, its called The Manhanttan Fish Market. Its a little bit pricey, but its worth the try.
OMG Rachel is sooooooo right... ABT everything.... N Ur too nice with Ur comments my dear, I was cringing when I saw the title of Ur video, I was like noooooooo, esp the baked rice n de soupy steak, I mean I like it, this was my 1st intro to ''western food'',I, grew up with it, I love the chicken Choo, it's a must for me, but having lived overseas , all those food u ate was just.....food ..... Unclassified .... Food lost in de Twilight zone....n thx goodness U didn't order de spaghetti, it's normally unnaturally sweet, it should be dessert.... Hahahaha.... N Rachel, unfortunately logesh is right in de wrongest way, chili's is a steakhouse, for us Asians, sorry, I call it a burger place, I love their burgers, some of my other friends call it the nachos place... It just depends which food stands out to U, n then we call it that, hahahaha! 🤣😅
Hey folks, give the guy a break. So what!!! He didn't actually make a mistake. If you're a home-grown Malaysian, "Chicken Chop" is Kung Foo Malaysian Western mah!. But honestly Bro Kumaar, we have a heck of a lot of western restaurants here that are truly authentic (for some, check out Mr "Missing_Link" below), but could burn a hole in your pocket. To me, I would look at the big picture ... in most of your other videos, you've promoted Malaysia with a warmth that comes from the heart. Heck, people, his better-half even had (if my memory serves me right) Maggie Mee pedas with her father and they survived. Good on Rachel, and oh, to your dad too - great sports. Hang in there people, and stay safe.
tbh this is like the budgeted western restaurants in Malaysia, you should’ve been to a more established western restaurants for Rachel for a first timer.
When I was in US.. I really missed our Malaysia style of eating especially we eat our western food with chilli sauce. Same even with fast food.. So be it US western food is nicer to me it was lack of that spice hahaha
I love eating western food at TGIF, Tony Roma's and Chili's . And yesterday I ate frankfurter at Nathan Famous. Honestly for local western house/restaurants I will order nasi goreng. 😅
11:18 setuju sangat yang disini lebih kepada Malaysian food and not western..11:27 suka sangat cara Rachel jawab disini..Dalam cara menjawabnya tetap pandai jaga hati orang Malaysia👏👏🤗
I need this video. How different our interpretation of Western Food all these while....huhuhuhu We are the "gravy people" ... Most of us prefer a 'well done' meat. Hardly anyone take Raw and Medium meat here.
I prefer the meat cooked too. Just because it would be easier to cut the cook the meat medium rare or rare is served. hate seeing the blood oozing out of the meat I am about to eat.
I only learned about what constitutes a good steak watching youtuber Guga Foods. Like most Malaysians (prior to youtube and social media), I also treated myself with Malaysian "steaks" slathered in massive amount of brown-coloured sauces and thinking that this is "standard western food".
Mrs rachel & family may trying to visit Carnivormalaya restaurant for the next treat western food. Let's me listing for you: 1) Carnivormalaya 2) kbb burger & steak 3) MeatAmericanCartel
I've been living in Malaysia for almost half a year now. Chili's may not be a steakhouse but man does it hit the spot when I'm missing that western style food lol
My go to for American cuisine in Malaysia is Betty's Midwest Kitchen in Aman Suria, PJU. While for Malaysian inspired Western Cuisine, my go to would be Kaki Corner in Taman Billion , 56000 Kuala Lumpur. Happy food hunting, peeps
at my place bangi.. we have 3 restaurant serving western you can try.. 1) me'nate restaurant, can chose any steak and cooking style you want. 2) cartel meat restaurant, a lot of choice western dish and finally my fav restaurant affordable and yet sangat sedap. farm grill house located at section 7 bangi. i dont know we can call it really western style dish, but for me it is like asian fusion western style. sort of.. and there is alot of food for taste bud at bangi especially at saturday pasar malam.we have flee market at night and kajang uptown, a lot is happening there. hope you all enjoy malaysian weather and hospitality. have a great day.
These are Hong kong version of western food in Malaysia, the one you mentioned called shatin chicken, there is a place in hong kong that is called SHA TIN, hope we can bring you guys to a good western restaurant in malaysia while you guys are still here :)
Never ask for medium cooked steaks in a localised western food place in Malaysia. The steaks are cut too thin. Rare or medium rare is the way to go. If there is no bone on the lamb then its probably a lamb shoulder but yeah it's still different and yes, lamb chops and steaks are rare treats for many of us when we were growing up here. Chicken chop is so quintessentially Malaysian and I love it. I don't think you can get anything like that anywhere else (well maybe in Singapore but that's a whole other argument altogether!). Every stall has its own twist on the oriental sauce. You should also try fish and chips in Malaysia. Its like nothing in the UK or the USA. Any westerner here in Malaysia should try all of the above though. At least once. It's our interpretation of food in the west. Just like many offerings in US Chinese takeouts taste nothing like authentic Chinese food. Its not like the food in the west but its OUR western food!
A good steak is so expensive in KL now, maybe because the imported beef is more expensive. A good one now costs about $200/300 a steak. The best one is supposed to be at Hilton Sentral..that starts I think at $400
@@DP-zd8fr actually you can't. You need to get your temperature for the perfect steak to a degree that your "normal" household grills are not capable of, that's why most of the good steak houses have them imported from Germany etc and a Steak is one of the only dish that doesn't depend on the marination or the way to cook it but the quality of the beef itself, and if your grill has enough heat to caramelize the top layer of the meat and holding the juices inside it without drying up. One can screwup even wagyu no doubt, For the best steak, (you can check this yourself) only requires the very basic seasoning..pepper and salt and zero marination. Eg:- Chef Gordon's: th-cam.com/video/AmC9SmCBUj4/w-d-xo.html
steak yg dimasak kat rumah jugak yg paling sedap 😂. butter garlic pan seared steak, 4 minit each sides untuk medium to medium well. biasanya beli meat minta butcher potongkan 1inch thickness
For steak, should go to Jakes Charbroil steak. This steak in Klang steak on a budget. Next time u in KL take Rachel to Jakes Charbroil in Medan Damansara. More pricey, but steak is good.
Rachel, Malaysian are very picky eaters. I always said, a lot of Western fast-food n one of them is KFC. as soon as it landed in Malaysia, it is fine-tuned to Malaysian acceptable flavor. when my kids take KFC, they always said not as good as Malaysia KFC n totally stop going to KFC in US. Western food in Malaysia is like malaysian cooking with addition of something that is not from local, like potatoes, bell pepper, french fries and baked beans. the steak has to be fully cooked that way otherwise Malaysian(who never travel out n live in other country) wont know how to eat/stomach it. I only learnt how to stomach medium raw steak wen I moved to US. I used to eat my steak like that, welldoned in Malaysia but not anymore. If U want authentic western food, it has to be operated by westerner in Malaysia. I heard Kenny Rogers has a franchize food chain there before but I don know now . . .
I suggest u to try JAHNET.The owner also found MENATE.He used to be a cook at Buckingham Palace.Its might be slightly on the higher price range.But it going to be worthit.I went to their outlet in Ampang. I think they also have branch in Bangi. A decent meal for two might goes between RM400-RM600.(my range is for steak-since I only order those at western restaurant)
Bro chilli's is not a steakhouse...rachel is right....you want proper steak , head to prime at le meridien kl sentral for a proper steak....myself and my colleague tried ordering tuna pizza while on business trip in bordentown NJ, and the response from the pizza parlour was just epic
Hi guys, from what you hv described from the menu, that's Hong Kong fusion Western food. Shatin is one of the place in HK. Cheese baked rice is very much HK version of western food.. Lolll
The one that you went to is like fusion cheap-average level western food.. There are "American western food restaurants" and "Higher-end Western Food restaurants" and "Molecular gastronomy restaurants" in Malaysia. The thing about cheap-average level western food is, many eateries like to use Pre-mix powder, and the steak is usually cooked medium-well done. Cheesy baked rice is like Chinese Cantonese style from Hong Kong. Since u are in Malaysia, u should try Hainanese chicken chop, Hainanese pork chop etc..
I think you guys had "Hainanese style" western food. As for the cheese bake rice, I think it is from Hong Kong. The steak is too thin and as a result it is overcooked most of the time. As for the sauce, I think it is meant to cover for the lack good quality steak served.
In malaysia sometimes the restaurant serve lamb chop just like the american styles but sometimes they serves like what you had. So it's depends on the owner of the restaurant of how they want their food to be serve to the customer. But mostly each restaurant serve their foods match with their restaurant theme so it's very unique for me bc you wouldn't get bored when ordering the same menu as every restaurant is different. Btw enjoy your meal and holiday/vacation in Malaysia❤️🇲🇾☺️
Most of the time.. you will get frozen french fries in most of our Western restaurant in Malaysia.. not like in the US.. they will make their own fries..
Actually, for a proper steak, try Jake's Charbroiled Steaks near Pusat Bandar Damansara. They have been there donkeys years and as far I know they have had excellent reviews, though price is on the high side. Give it a try and you won't regret it.
Chicken "chop" and Malaysian "western" food are actually Hainanese style cooking made for the British when we were colonized. Cheese baked rice is actually a Hong Kong style baked fried rice with cheese topping and usually seafood. Just some trivia I thought you'd enjoy. :)

@@georgesheila6121 I wouldn't say the ship serve "Real" western food though. Still Malaysianised. Chili's is fine. More american or tex-mex style.
Please try at MENATE Steakhouse, please bro. Its one of the local owned steakhouse, very popular and reasonable price.
But Menate is not Malaysian-Western. They have good quality meat, cook to your desired doneness and don't flood the steak with gravy.

All Malaysian western food is: grilled meat of choice, crinkle fries, frozen veggie or slice of tomato/cucumber. And sauce.
Lots of sauce. Lots and lots of sauce.
And extra chili/tomato sauce on the table.
I would argue that the meat is not even grilled. Its just pan fried on a flat pan like the pan you find at a Ramly burger stalls.
I love when rachel being honest with the taste.
We understand, not all malaysian food is tasty. U can give bad review and we understand tho.

I've been living in Malaysia for almost half a year now. Chili's may not be a steakhouse but man does it hit the spot when I'm missing that western style food lol
Hahahahahhaha😂😂😂😂…I like both you guys reaction about the steak!!!…As Malaysian…100% agreed with that!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cheese bake rice is actually pretty common here in western restaurants. You can have them in secret recipe too :).
Japanese call them doria or rice gratin 😊😊😊
@@juneseongmin So it's Eastern food. Someone must have lost his compass or failed geography.
@@DP-zd8fr 😂😅
It's Hong Kong Chinese fusion
My go to for American cuisine in Malaysia is Betty's Midwest Kitchen in Aman Suria, PJU. While for Malaysian inspired Western Cuisine, my go to would be Kaki Corner in Taman Billion , 56000 Kuala Lumpur. Happy food hunting, peeps
LOVEEEEE THAT RACHEL IS SOOOO CHATTY IN THIS VIDEO. Like, you go girl! 😂😂😂
LOL! Rachel is Talking away ...and ha ha ha Logesh keeps eating and peeking behind him before he makes a comment. Fun review.

Louisiana state kelana Jaya plaza
Should try cowboy steakhouse desa Petaling Selangor and Rasa western food kelana Jaya plaza Petaling Jaya
Western in Malaysia love it near me
KFC McDonald and fast food restaurants good Texas chicken Burger King anw marry brown and Hertz chicken buffet
These are Hong kong version of western food in Malaysia, the one you mentioned called shatin chicken, there is a place in hong kong that is called SHA TIN, hope we can bring you guys to a good western restaurant in malaysia while you guys are still here :)
I appreciate Rachel's honesty here.
Never ask for medium cooked steaks in a localised western food place in Malaysia. The steaks are cut too thin. Rare or medium rare is the way to go. If there is no bone on the lamb then its probably a lamb shoulder but yeah it's still different and yes, lamb chops and steaks are rare treats for many of us when we were growing up here.
Chicken chop is so quintessentially Malaysian and I love it. I don't think you can get anything like that anywhere else (well maybe in Singapore but that's a whole other argument altogether!). Every stall has its own twist on the oriental sauce. You should also try fish and chips in Malaysia. Its like nothing in the UK or the USA. Any westerner here in Malaysia should try all of the above though. At least once. It's our interpretation of food in the west. Just like many offerings in US Chinese takeouts taste nothing like authentic Chinese food. Its not like the food in the west but its OUR western food!
A good steak is so expensive in KL now, maybe because the imported beef is more expensive. A good one now costs about $200/300 a steak. The best one is supposed to be at Hilton Sentral..that starts I think at $400
You can get a cheap cut and still make it taste great by the way you marinate and cook it, just as you can take a cut of wagyu and screw it up.
@@DP-zd8fr actually you can't. You need to get your temperature for the perfect steak to a degree that your "normal" household grills are not capable of, that's why most of the good steak houses have them imported from Germany etc and a Steak is one of the only dish that doesn't depend on the marination or the way to cook it but the quality of the beef itself, and if your grill has enough heat to caramelize the top layer of the meat and holding the juices inside it without drying up.
One can screwup even wagyu no doubt, For the best steak, (you can check this yourself) only requires the very basic seasoning..pepper and salt and zero marination. Eg:- Chef Gordon's: th-cam.com/video/AmC9SmCBUj4/w-d-xo.html
steak yg dimasak kat rumah jugak yg paling sedap 😂. butter garlic pan seared steak, 4 minit each sides untuk medium to medium well. biasanya beli meat minta butcher potongkan 1inch thickness
Quote of the day 》》 It's Not So Good, I haven't tried it...🤣😅🤣
For steak, should go to Jakes Charbroil steak. This steak in Klang steak on a budget. Next time u in KL take Rachel to Jakes Charbroil in Medan Damansara. More pricey, but steak is good.
Jake's the best!
when east meet west,we also have nasi goreng USA
Udang Sotong Ayam = USA
@@haryhary399 no lah.. they put telur goreng and stew beef
@@stoneyday558 tu ala thai lah... Kalau ala melayu baru ada udang sotong ayam...
We have tony romas, TGI Fridays…just 10 minutes from Klang bro
Hi...just one question...are you guys still here in M'sia or have gone back to US ?
Will appreciate a short feedback.
Thanks.
hope u can try our malaysian barbecue (smoked meat) restaurant like meat cartel, pitboy bbq or beard brothers, and share with us how's it compared 😊
Comelnye kedua dua anak Encik Kumar...mungkin sebab Bininye pun comel kot...🤣🤣🤣
Rachel, Malaysian are very picky eaters. I always said, a lot of Western fast-food n one of them is KFC. as soon as it landed in Malaysia, it is fine-tuned to Malaysian acceptable flavor. when my kids take KFC, they always said not as good as Malaysia KFC n totally stop going to KFC in US. Western food in Malaysia is like malaysian cooking with addition of something that is not from local, like potatoes, bell pepper, french fries and baked beans. the steak has to be fully cooked that way otherwise Malaysian(who never travel out n live in other country) wont know how to eat/stomach it. I only learnt how to stomach medium raw steak wen I moved to US. I used to eat my steak like that, welldoned in Malaysia but not anymore. If U want authentic western food, it has to be operated by westerner in Malaysia. I heard Kenny Rogers has a franchize food chain there before but I don know now . . .
I suggest u to try JAHNET.The owner also found MENATE.He used to be a cook at Buckingham Palace.Its might be slightly on the higher price range.But it going to be worthit.I went to their outlet in Ampang. I think they also have branch in Bangi.
A decent meal for two might goes between RM400-RM600.(my range is for steak-since I only order those at western restaurant)
Try at victoria station if u around in kuala lumpur
Also taste pak mat western (penang) .. cheapest and nice
Bro chilli's is not a steakhouse...rachel is right....you want proper steak , head to prime at le meridien kl sentral for a proper steak....myself and my colleague tried ordering tuna pizza while on business trip in bordentown NJ, and the response from the pizza parlour was just epic
Hi guys, from what you hv described from the menu, that's Hong Kong fusion Western food. Shatin is one of the place in HK. Cheese baked rice is very much HK version of western food.. Lolll
Suka betul bila Rachel review pasal makanan. Sangat jujur 🤭
yes..most malaysian western food is overcooked..
The one that you went to is like fusion cheap-average level western food..
There are "American western food restaurants" and "Higher-end Western Food restaurants" and "Molecular gastronomy restaurants" in Malaysia.
The thing about cheap-average level western food is, many eateries like to use Pre-mix powder, and the steak is usually cooked medium-well done.
Cheesy baked rice is like Chinese Cantonese style from Hong Kong.
Since u are in Malaysia, u should try Hainanese chicken chop, Hainanese pork chop etc..
Also next time maybe you can also check out VICTORIA STATION and THE SHIP
for your western meal.
Lol love to see how energetic you guys making reviews 🤭🤭
try la menate steak bro baru leh compare dgn western food yg sebenar
Try it again on 'pak mat western' restaurant food..
You can go to A&D Butcher and steak at bukit jelutong. Pricey a bit, but worth!
hows the mushroom soup compares to thanksgiving gravy???
In Malaysia, any food with cheese is considered "western" food. 🤣
Ya la for better price....😊
Nope… cheese + blackpepper = western 🤣
I think you guys had "Hainanese style" western food. As for the cheese bake rice, I think it is from Hong Kong.
The steak is too thin and as a result it is overcooked most of the time. As for the sauce, I think it is meant to cover for the lack good quality steak served.
I like that cheese baked rice and Lamb chop with black pepper sauce.. 🍟 is my all time favorite..
interesting video. sangat menarik.
First like and first comment. Lol. Just love your content!
Before i watch the video, i tough you will take her to “victoria station” ….. Hmmph..but……
You should try Mean Mince at Kota Damansara for good western food with burgers and cheesy mozarella sticks!
In malaysia sometimes the restaurant serve lamb chop just like the american styles but sometimes they serves like what you had. So it's depends on the owner of the restaurant of how they want their food to be serve to the customer. But mostly each restaurant serve their foods match with their restaurant theme so it's very unique for me bc you wouldn't get bored when ordering the same menu as every restaurant is different. Btw enjoy your meal and holiday/vacation in Malaysia❤️🇲🇾☺️
I'm Malaysian and I can confirm if there's a Malaysian shop (except the fancy one) usually the western is bad.
never eat lamb chop, I always eat chicken chop, it taste pretty much similar all over makaysia.
Most of the time.. you will get frozen french fries in most of our Western restaurant in Malaysia.. not like in the US.. they will make their own fries..
Love your content. Look like spaghetti cheese..ha ha. Nice sharing. 😊😊
Have you tried the Tony Roma's and Windmill in Malaysia. Maybe you could try that out too 😄.
If you have the chance to get “kambing bakar, it is served with mint sauce & whipped potatoes (Malaysian style) Super yumm 😋😋
Where, bro?
thats not a lamb chop,,that a cheap lamb shoulder slice ...
Actually, for a proper steak, try Jake's Charbroiled Steaks near Pusat Bandar Damansara. They have been there donkeys years and as far I know they have had excellent reviews, though price is on the high side. Give it a try and you won't regret it.
