Living that bike life in Port Dickson looks incredible! The thrill of riding, combined with the taste of Rojak Ayam, Mient's Burger, and refreshing cendol, is truly an unbeatable experience. Thanks for sharing this vibrant slice of life! 🏍🍔🍧
Oh yeah Mient's Burger, yes I featured them in my PD food video before as well as I dropped by for supper. Btw, great to see two cyclists having a passionate chat.
I wouldn't mind going back to Mient's and trying out one of their other burgers. Of course, the local winner for me is the one you know about: the big, big burger at Wheels. That's the one to try in Port Dickson right now. But it comes in at double or triple the price.... 🙂
I thought the same thing. Recently introduced myself to these dishes in Penang. Very different to mainland food with delicious flavour and texture. Definitely worth trying
I do enjoy the recent jumping back and forth between Port Dickson and Vietnam. Gives the channel a more jet set feeling even though we know exactly what’s going on. So cool to meet another bicyclist. Listening to your common language was just as enjoyable without the camera being up in your faces. Just genuine real life conversation.
When I set out that morning, I wasn't really focused on shooting video. It was more of just a test of the GoPro mounting system I was working on. So I wasn't prepared to really dive in and take video of this Belgian cyclist I met. I just happened to have the GoPro running while we were standing there and chatting about our bikes and bike gear. I could easily have set up the camera deliberately and talked to him for a couple hours about his bike and his trip so far. But the mood wasn't in the air to do that. But I'm glad to have recorded some of our chat. :)
It's definitely one of my current favorites. It's tasty, simple, budget-friendly, and filling. And I like the ease of ordering at this place in the parking lot.
Your story about the 'missing' food stalls reminds me of two weeks is spent somewhere near Melacca. It was while I was still working. Our team arrived late afternoon and found numerous restaurants (mamak shops) for dinner. For the next two weeks though they seemed to be open for business on a somewhat random schedule. I did not eat well on that trip.
I've run into that issue in so many places. You could probably call it one of my pet peeves. I discover some great little place to eat, but then every time I go back, it's closed. And I can never figure out what their opening hours/days are. But I guess that's also part of the charm and appeal of certain countries. I enjoy the chaos and confusion for the most part. But sometimes... 😁
Try bread.. thick slice with cendol , quite nice.. 😊 p.s. now you can get suspension seatpost.. find brand like zoom for mtb! they are not that expensive too.
I really should have gotten a suspension seatpost long ago, to be honest. They've been around forever and I've thought about getting one. I just never pulled the trigger. I'll add that to my wish list and to-do list for the future if I end up doing a lot more cycling.
Wow I grew up pretty much where you stayed. It’s downhill all the way to town, as kids we try to get there without pedalling and hands free, including that one tight downhill blind left turn. Coming back isn’t as fun, as we can see 😅. That Caltex is a good 2-3 km away, so well done Doug!
You mean a different style of seat just to change the feeling and pressure points? I'd never thought of that. It would likely be too much trouble to actually carry a second seat and change them. But it might actually make a difference. I could compromise, perhaps, and use a gel cover. I could ride without the gel cover for a while. And once I get sore, put the cover on and see if that makes a difference. And switch back and forth.
@@PlanetDoug I do this with shoes when I'm logging the miles. Yes, changing the gel is a great idea or putting on padded shorts . When I made that suggestion I realized an extra seat might be too heavy, but if you had a quick release on the seat, it could work with a bungee the extra seat to the bike rack or in a back pack
I've never tried cycling shorts, to be honest. I certainly don't want to wear skintight Lycra cycling gear. But there are probably cycling shorts that look like normal clothing. I should probably give the a try someday.
He is probably being considerate to his landlord, as maybe they do not want the bike clogging up their walkway or visible in their driveway. If the bike could be seen from the road, it could attract theft.

rojak and cendol, my favourite

Great vlog keep it up. You are a very good storyteller. Reminds me of my English teacher in junior school.

Maybe you could carry an extra seat on your bike, change it every every hour or two?

Cc always love Planet Doug vlog
sticky rice with cendol is quite nice.
Cycling shorts essential if you don't want to suffer. More important than the saddle.

I agree on the comment regarding Brooks seats. Worst purchase I've ever made. Screwed up my back
this mat salleh likes rojak and chendol 😁
you should consider visit China, in the big cities there are bikes to rent on every corner now. Can rent via QR code.
Try to wear helmet when riding Doug. Just a safety precaution.
Airlines makes money from cargo and Business/First class passenger. They just break-even on the economy class.
Go to teluk kemang
