Almost all things are really cheap and value-for-money buys compared to Singapore where I live. Here we pay almost 3 times as much. That's why I love to shop in Malaysia. I target their greens most because they are super fresh, straight from the farms. And I love the Malaysian people as they are sincerely nice and friendly. They have better customer service than here in Singapore.
Such a great comment, yes Malaysia is great value and significantly cheaper than Singapore. And yes we love everyone in Malaysia! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Glad to hear it💖
Ya true...
Singaporean shops in Malaysia, every weekend at Johore Bharu.
A G ur welcomed here bro, just ignore those typical idiot who barking when singaporean shopping in Malaysia. As a Malaysian, i dnt really care if u guys enjoy our service such us shopping/traveling/etc. Just enjoy. 😊
Lucky u guys from UK. As Malaysian, I just wish my salary are paid by Pound Sterling too. 😂😂😂
Oh yes very lucky, although we earn in USD now so not as great, but still really cheap for us! Thanks for watching!
Faaiz Accel me too 😅
Yeah me too. No one would get angry with basic 1.7k. Just make it in pound. 😂
Awww how I wish I'm earning in Pound too. The organic egg in Malaysia you guys could get it at the famous grocer like Jaya Grocer or Ben Grocer but for Malaysian we bought 'telur kampung' which translated as 'kampung/village egg' which means free range here in Malaysia. The color is off white.
Is best you come here to work and start from the low pay. see wether you can sustain financial in malaysia without pound
sape kat sini malaysian rasa agak malu bila dia ckp sebenarnya dia bawak beg sandang tu sbb nak kurangkan penggunaan beg plastik? angkat tangan!
xrasa malu sgt bcause mmg pegi kedai sekrg at least dalam kereta or handbag mst ada beg. hehehehhehehhe... if beli brg byk rasa rugi bayar mahal and beg plastik tesco sekrg nipis...
tak malu. sebab malaysia pun punya inisiatif sama. kebanyakan restoran dah tak guna polisterin. dekat supermarket pun dah tak dibagi plastic bag. kalau di melaka, nak beli beg plastic pun tak boleh. sama2 lah berharap semua negeri pun akan ikut sama ^^
New Roe yup Melaka agak kritikal sikit sbb tempat buang sampah pown dh melebihi kapasiti...
adibah Sofea siapa yg duduk Selangor dh biasa dh bawak beg sendiri sebab beg plastik kena cas 20 sen
x rase malu pun, sbb dah biase jugak bawak plastik sendiri dari kecik..lol
RM165 = 35pounds
I’m crying blood omg 😭 hope that we Malaysian can buy all those things with only rm35 😂
You can hope Namjoonie. These two are not speaking with locals in mind. It's the power of the Uk£ and USD that they are enjoying daily in Malaysia.
Hi Rap Mon hahaha
Whenever u can buy all that with Rm35... They can buy all that with 5pound only... So what you/we can say... U can see that equals..?
I hope your otak pon boleh berjalan. Jangan samakan currency Malaysia dan UK
Have you guys even checked out the food price in the UK. They are cheap! It's not just the power of the currency but their country's economic power. Only us in the developing countries are suffering with expensive products with low currency value internationally :(
I swear I love this country !!! , like love it I did my degree over , been leaving there almost 6 years Malaysia is a blessed country like for real blessed on all terms !❤️❤️❤️... definitely am subscribing guys! Great 👍 video and so related with this video as I from Madrid and is 💶 currency
We love Malaysia too! So cool you've been living out there for 6 years. Thanks so much for watching!
I am from Malaysia and you will realise this country have a lot of raises and all places sell the product brand almost around the world
Wow, you are from Spain🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
@@akmalhadi2416 steady ah
Cheap because currency exchange. You are 5 time richer when convert to ringgit. Imagine malaysian to buy something in London. Anyway welcome everyone to malaysia
Yes the exchange rate helps us a lot! Thanks for watching!
Great video idea guys. The sad face about no oranges was really funny! We've heard so much S Club 7 also! Love it!! Nice one! - Thomas and Sheena PS we vote spread in the quiz 😀
Chasing a Plate - Food and Travel Channel Yes it was the spread! Haha thanks guys, had do a boogie to a bit of s club ha, not as strange as when I heard death metal in a tokyo supermarket before though ha.
Najib Razak Haha no it isn't but funnily enough we are with Chasing a Plate right now as your comment came up!
Wasn't us Najib Razak 😀
why najib razak commenting here..lol
If u guys ever come to Melaka (one of the state in Malaysia), take note that there is a "no plastic" policy for groceries (excluding cooked food/beverages and clothings) in major supermarket like Tesco, Giant and Aeon. They do provide plastic bags in smaller stores like 7-eleven and "mini" market. Any bags provided in Melaka must be either paper bags or biodegradable plastic bags (though some shops tend to ignore that). #fun fact.
jim kai yiat That is such a good initiative! We're not too far away from Melaka so hopefully we can make it down there for a day!
I'm malaysian and that's how I feel when I go grocery shopping in egypt. DIRT CHEAP
I do not understand your comment
Does egypt cheaper than malaysia?
@@bluelily71 yes
Because our currency is stronger compared to egyption pound . 1 ringgit = 3 egyption pound so if we go and spend money there we will feel it is cheap just like how this uk lads feel that the price is cheap in malaysia 🤣. Same if we go and shop at indonesia or india , cambodia , japan , thailand etc...
@@bluelily71 in indonesia an oreo packet cause around 148 rupiah . That is around 38 cens in malaysia currency so that is pretty cheap lol
I like how you guys bought that bags to avoid using plastic bags. We Malaysians should done the same too!
Thanks you!
Terbanyak terlampau fitnah orang atau sebut busuk atau ejek orang jangan kawan atau layan.. permintaan penduduk flat.....
Its nice price in Malaysian.. a lot of things is very cheap.. its not same liked in American n Australia.. that's why my dad really liked to trip in Malaysian
The exchange rate helps us out a lot to be honest! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm happy because Malaysia becaming famous with foreigners 😄😄💕💕 thank you so much for doing this video !! Love it so much 😍😍
Thank you for watching!
Do check out Jaya Grocer, Village Grocer or BIG Supermarket if you are looking for a wider variety of Western foodstuffs. There are multiple outlets around KL
Ah interesting, sounds good to us! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice video mates! Totally different from the usual food hunting vids. This is proper mint!
I'm a Malaysian by the way and these are my personal favorites (actually many Malaysians vouch on them too):
1. Best bread: Gardenia. You can find them everywhere except in Sabah and Sarawak. If you fancy "dessert" breads, get the Butterscotch ones. Drop dead delish!
2. Curry powder mix: Baba's or Alagappas and make sure they're the extra hot/spicy ones. You won't be disappointed, except when you're back in the UK and you can't find any of them ha!
3. Chili sauce: Lingham's. Legends drink them for breakfast.
4. Coconut milk: M&S. You got that one spot on! There must be a drip of Malaysian blood in you guys somewhere.
5. Baked beans: Ayam brand. The same brand as your cans of tuna. Most Malaysians love their baked beans thick and goopy like the Americans but personally, I prefer Heinz's because English baked beans are runnier and soupier, and I don't know why that is supposed to be a good thing but it works really well for me.
6. Fresh Milk: Goodday. Proper creamy goodness. Dutchlady isn't that bad either. If you want a more "grassy" taste, then Farm Fresh is the way to go.
If you want more "exotic" stuffs you can go and find them at Jaya Grocer or LuLu Hypermarket. If you're on a sugar binge, head straight to LuLu. Their Arab pastries are the best!
Cheerio!
Heya, thank you so much! Thanks so much for all the info, what an awesome comment! We've visited Jaya Grocer and wow that place is insane, lots of American brands we found. We will always prefer the British Baked Beans, but the American/Asian ones aren't bad either ha. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Gardenia is actually exists in Sabah. But only the sliced bread variation not the Delicia lines (85 cents). In Sarawak, no Gardenia at all as the state government tries to keep local bakeries and businesses to survive.
Gardenia is available in Sarawak hypermarkets, just double the original price.
Yes they are in Kuching, Sarawak. Try looking in E-Mart and Everise (inside Plaza Merdeka).
Ug.. S&P is better :) and Summerfield is the best milk ever :) or Mawai Farms' organic fresh milk :)
yeah... if you earn in pounds, euros or us dollars even singapore dollars...everything is cheap here
This is very true, the exchange rate is very good for us and helps a lot. Thanks for watching!
Even when you earn in RINGGIT you still can afford it. Don't be an ass. Be grateful.
YA FOR THE RICH PEOPLE.... if you earn 1200 do you think you can buy all those expensive food brands, buying organic food... buying the necessary and cook it yourself blhlah....anyway i am thankful to god not to the pemimpin....
high speed sangatlah!!!.... tu pun tumpang orang punya
In that case you have such a pathetic life. Get a real job! Or else move to cheaper country like Timor Leste. Bye felicia!
the tea that you bought is from cameron highlands pahang.BOH stand for Best Of Highlands...the tea is from my hometown,cameron highlads. :)
Ah wow that's what it stands for! We'd love to visit Cameron Highlands at some point, looks amazing. We actually volunteered on a tea farm for a while in Nepal!
wow
so you have experience plucking tea leaves,nice
yeahhh pls come
chill at the hill!!
You guys have to go to Cameron highlands. there, they sell strawberry and blueberry flavoured tea, which are not sold eveywhere else. Also they are tea plantation, vege / strawberry farms, flower garden.
no,no.. actually that tea is from indonesia
#doneclaim 😆😆😆
Keyrel Magura i see what you did there. Hahaha
I am a cashier. I love how foreigner come to our store and bring the reusable bag. Most of local people here didnt bring them when they going to supermarket. I'm impress...save our planet!
Ah thank you!
am i the only one who can"t stop looking at his eyelashes? hahaha so gorgeous. i'm so jealous. great video btw!
Thanks Natasha!
You guys are positive, which I need in my life
Thanks! Positivity always helps!
I always went there... hope to see you guys there
Chum Buzz koo
great vids guys. just subscribed and enjoy your trips in Malaysia. greetings from Sarawak,Borneo :)
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching and commenting!
Always a Friday next time pls come to Borneo to taste other unique foods in here too :)
As a Malaysian who earns income in RM, price is vital in daily consumption of goods & products. There isn't a particular hypermarket or supermarket offering the cheapest price of goods. Luckily I am staying in an area surrounding by Mydin, Giant, TF Value Mart, Tesco & Econsave (all within 1km. NSK unfortunately is 12km further away). Therefore I am able to be a rationale consumer comparing prices, especially with the help of hp app such as Smartshoppers. Btw if u obtain a Tesco card, u will earn points when u spend in Tesco. The points will be subsequently converted into cash voucher plus additional discount voucher for goods u commonly purchase.
Yes we find the same thing back in the UK, always good to go to a few different ones and pick the cheapest products up in each place! Thanks for watching and commenting!
thats why only rich malaysian can travel to the uk,usa, dubai because our currency are low, so if we buy outside Malaysia, it will cost fortune to get items
True, we are very fortunate the £ is a strong currency.
supermarkets in Malaysia are like disneyland for me! I was the happiest kid in the world!
Cheap?? *cries in ringgit
kat sana pun ramai anak muda menangis..terpaksa kongsi bilik kongsi rumah..th-cam.com/video/JAgbx4BSI7s/w-d-xo.html
I am from Malaysia.2 ringgit can buy a French loaf
Foreigners will be happy shopping grocer in Tesco Malaysia. RM5.40 is £1.00. If you like chilli, Thai sukiyaki chilli sauce best for any compliments like steamboat, burger, dipping any kind of vegetables & meat, bbq meat etc... Don't forget to buy salty plum powder goes well with guava and green apples.
Im malaysian and grocery shopping is my favorite. If ure looking for organic stuff such as eggs etc u can go to ben’s grocer/village grocer/jaya grocer! Have fun shopping guys
Cheers! Thanks for watching.
Dairy products like cheese, milk usually imported from overseas (Australia, new Zealand etc) .. that why expensive.
Ah yes, that makes sense!
Where is the best place to buy cheese in Malaysia that isn't so expensive??? Thanks in advance!
Those Malaysians who are always grumbling and thinking they’re not getting a fair deal in this country and always looking at it as the glass being half empty, watch this video! The past government has done so much to make this country a nice place to live in, so be grateful! Stop your whining and think instead, what have YOU done for your country. Great job guys! I studied in the UK for six years in the 70s and love the UK. Free range or kampung eggs should can be got from Aeon or one of the more upmarket supermarts. We love Aeon ie Jusco in One Utama. It’s great; so great that we can spend hours there and jokingly refer it as our second home. Great eating spots in the supermarket too. Hope you’ll do a video of your trip there very soon.
Glad you liked the video Arid! Thanks.
Lurpark spreadable costs £3.75 / 500g in Waitrose. It makes sense that Naturel spread is quite expensive there. Thanks for sharing this video. Nice edit !
It does make sense, the Lurpak is one of the more expensive brands, where as the Naturel Spread was the cheapest we could find. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Instant noodles is student surviving food, it have to be cheap . Haha.
Haha oh yes! Thanks for watching and commenting!
After reading many of the comments it seems everyone forgot that what's affordable for one person won't be for someone else. It's like that everywhere in the world. Literally everywhere. Even with adding about 30% to prices for U.S. conversions most of those items are still so much cheaper than here in the U.S. I wish I could get Oreos and other items that cheap. I will say I'm amazed at how many big supermarkets there are around the world with brands that I didn't know were in other countries. Huge supermarkets seem like such a U.S. thing to do, but it's fun to see what other cities &/or countries do & have. I couldn't even get garlic that cheap. It's usually between $3.00 & $5.00 for a pound of garlic. That's expensive for something that's easy to grow & you can grow a lot in a small space.
Hi guys...nice tht u guys njoy d shopping spree in Malaysia....infact u go to a supermarket tht sells most of Western products such as one particular supermarket in Pavilion and another in KLCC....but d highlight of d day was u guys managed to buy items tht majority in a range of one pound to three pound appx...njoy ur stay here in Malaysia and tc guys....cheers
Yes only one thing was more than 10rm, crazy right! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Come more often ...and spend more too😊
love ur video love from malaysia
Thank you so much!
Thanks for visiting malaysia! Hope you had fun.
We had so much fun! Thanks for watching!
They have organic egg in Tesco. But they don't named it "organic" in Tesco. They named in "Telur Ayam Kampung" which means eggs from free range village chicken.
Ah okay, we'll look out for them! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Organic egg is sold as "telur ayam kampung" (literally village chicken egg)😎
syazh1 - actually quite easily available at all supermarkets, but yes about 20% or so more expensive than "normal" eggs.
Telur Ayam Kampung is not organic egg. This egg a bit different compare to normal egg on the shelf. Mostly people use it for soft boil egg 4 breakfast.
It's quite easy.. The kampung folks have contracts with companies in KL now, so the kampung eggs have brands and packaging and everything :)

Lol the bargain bin is where i usually head for when shopping for fresh produce. If you get them when they just came out, they're all pretty fresh just maybe slightly bruised. Anything leftover just freeze them and they last for ages! Budget shopping tip 101 :D
Love it!
My monthly shopping at Tesco average within range of 250-300, sometimes it could reach up to 500 depending on item purchased. That's definitely monthly stock.
My suggestion to you, try buying your veggies or fish meat chicken etc at Pasar Malam or Uptown(night market) which is quite common in Malaysia. There's a lot of food to be tasted as well.
Thanks for the tip!
Thats why Malaysia is a perfect destination for tourist
Oh yes!
Proud to be Malaysian 💓
For the executive level here in Malaysia..the salary range is around 2.5k to 4k MYR...car installment range around 500MYR...room rent around 400MYR...not include petrol...bills...hope the economy went stable back..happy too see u guys making this video..have a great day here in Malaysia..cheers..
Thanks for all the info! And thanks so much!
So proud being a Malaysian watching this vlog. Just want to recommend you to try Nescafē Caramel Latte in blue packaging, it tastes really good.
Btw applause for you for making an effort of reducing the usage of plastic bags eventhough you're not malaysians
Oh wow we've had the Caramel Latte before and it was soooo good! Thanks for watching!
thank you and come again 🇲🇾😊👍🏻
We will!
Hopefully this gets to you before you leave.. if you're a coconut fan you have to try the Kaya.. it's basically a sandwich spread made from santan, pandan leaf and brown sugar. The best ones are in little plastic cups and cost a little less than a pound.
We love Kaya! Pandan Kaya is actually my favourite, I have it in my oats for breakfast and on toast! It's amazing!
I'm glad you found the "bargain bin". Haha. I'd always wait for the staffs to take them out, it's usually later at night, after 11 pm where they usually restock fresher items for the next day and place the existing items on the bargain bins.
Haha yes we love it! Thanks for watching!
The Regular Kuala Lumpur Joe buys perhaps from NSK in selayang... you could take another 20% off perhaps off the total bill..
Sometimes I buy from Jaya Grocers, some stuff same brand are imported... but you could gett organic eggs there...
Jaya Grocers is cool, some awesome imported stuff there but it is a fair bit pricier! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I am actually laughing guys. Lol. It is quite expensive here if you are being paid in MYR. Hahaha. Well, shop wisely. Have a great adventure in Malaysia.
😝😝
The exchange rate helps us, we're the same when we're back in the UK, the exchange rate doesn't help us there! We're always shopping wisely when we're home! Thanks for watching!
If you love boh, you should visit Cameron Highlands, Boh Factory located there.
Yes we know about the BOH Factory there, looks so cool! Thanks for watching!
Nice video guys. Fyi, Malaysia still not big on fancy lingo or terms where you are used to. Well, you can get organic-free ranged eggs normally called Telur Ayam Kampung (which means Village chicken eggs). They normally whitish cream shell. Almost the same price which you got, but its smaller in size
Awesome, thanks for the info!
Love the video! You guys just made grocery shopping super fun to watch 😂❤️
Haha thank you so much!
Love seeing you guys enjoying your time and shopping in Malaysia. Greeting from Australia
Thank you so much!
Malaysian here. Coconut stuffs are like our dairy. Santan (coconut milk) = our cooking cream for rice, desserts and a whole lot more. That's why they're abundant in Malaysian markets. :) Glad you enjoy them!
Oh, and the tea brand BOH is pronounced a bit like 'bow' or 'boe', but with less stress on the w or e. :)
Love all the coconut stuff! And thanks for the info!
STEPPING BACK IN TIME: DISCOVERING BOH
The story of BOH begins in 1890 when seven-year-old J.A. Russell arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya with his father. At that time, the capital was a mishmash of tin miners' shanties, houses built by Chinese immigrants and palatial new buildings designed by British government architects.
J.A. was educated in England, but upon his return to Malaya, he began his career in the Straits Trading Company where he became fluent in as many as 5 Chinese dialects as well as Bahasa Melayu. This, together with his close contacts with wealthy Chinese tin-miners, paved the way for his investment in the country's flourishing mining industry.
In partnership with his brothers Philip, Donald and Robert, J.A. soon started diversifying his business interests. In 1908, he ventured into the rubber industry, which was then still in its infancy. He was also involved in the construction business and, together with Philip, was contracted to build the Kuala Lumpur railway station.
In 1913, J.A transacted one of the most remarkable business deals in his career where he acquired almost a third of the town of Ipoh.
Around the same time, he established a colliery at Batu Arang in Selangor. In this venture, he was assisted by his brother Donald, a mining engineer trained at the Colorado School of Mines. Their foresight and initiative helped transform this jungle area into a thriving industrial centre just 25 km from Kuala Lumpur.
But it was his business venture in 1929 that has left an indelible mark on the country. J.A. saw the potential of tea as an important crop for Malaya which until that time had been substantially dependent upon rubber and tin. Together with A.B. Milne, a veteran tea planter from Ceylon, he applied for and was granted a concession of land in Cameron Highlands.
Equipped with a single steamroller, some labourers and several mules, they proceeded to transform steep virgin jungle slopes into the tea garden we now know as Boh, the first Highlands tea garden in the country.
Thus, BOH Plantations, the current market leader for tea, was born.
J.A. Russell was a scholarly yet dynamic person. When he died in 1933 at the early age of 50, the obituary carried by The Malay Mail, the local English language newspaper, aptly described his life in Malaya:
'His whole career has been a business romance of such magnitude that it cannot be compared with the achievements of any other European in Malaya - past or present.'

Note: The Russel Family still controls the company from ye olde englande
Oh wow thanks for this, amazing! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Definitely a little bit more expensive than here in Vietnam, but it looks like the grocery selection is a bit better there. Closer to Thailand type of selection, which is great! Looking forward to seeing Malaysia. :D
The selection is incredible, the best in Asia for western food at reasonable prices. Thanks for watching and hopefully it helped!
Totally charming couple....bubbly, delightful....im ready to move there after watching you two for 10 mins.
Thanks so much!
When I was in the UK, I was surprised by how much cheaper the dairy products were. Shopped at Sainsbury's for my first time and then found out about Lidl! Really affordable. Most of the stuff I bought was below £1. But variety wise, I'll stick with Malaysia haha.
Haha yes Lidl is amazing! So cheap! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
If you're looking for organic eggs, you should try either Aeon, Cold Storage or Jaya Grocer. They sell a variety of organic eggs! I buy them there most of the time :))) hope it helps!
Thanks for the tip!
Great video.... love shopping in tesco especially if i were looking for western ready made ingredients like pasta sauce etc.... i know how cheap Malaysia can be to foreigners... i was studying in the UK and living there for 1 year with my family... i dont go to tesco or asda... a bit pricey... lidl or aldi would be better for my pocket. My weekly budget is about £25. For a family of three. But that would be without meat or chicken. I am glad u enjoy shopping in Malaysia... glad to be back.. 🤗
Yes Aldi and Lidl are so good! £25 for a family of three is amazing, very impressive! Thanks for watching.
Organic, free range eggs... You can try Jaya Grocer, Ben's, Cold Storage, Village Grocer. They sell mostly western products. My personal favourite is Jaya Grocer.
Ah okay, we'll head to a Jaya Grocer, thanks so much!
U could get free-range eggs. Look for 'sandy' eggs. That's what usually they're called here. They're usually at any Tesco or marts.
Ah cool, thanks for the info!
it'll be cheaper n fresher if you go to morning market. they will grate the coconut only when you wanna buy. it's really fresh n creamy.
Freshly grated coconut! Sounds great!
the jumbo eggs always my favorite choice
Both of u should go to eco shop or most of malaysian call it Kedai 2 Ringgit.. That shop absolutely will make you feel crazy 🤣🤣🤣
You can buy organic eggs at any Jaya Grocer supermarket.. If u shop around mutiara damansara guess Surian Giza & Damansara Perdana has the closest Jaya Grocer.. But be warned, its bloody expensive about 3-4 times expensive than normal eggs
Thanks for the info!
Thank you idol😍🙌
Awesome video, start to addict to see u video from now on. Love from malaysia 😁
Thank you so much!
Excellent perfect just what I was wanting to see!
Great!
Keep it up guys!
Love your videos! 😍
Thank you!
I am from Malaysia and I am 14 years old and seriously. You guys say it as if its cheap while im here crying over how expensive everything is for me O.O
I think for us we found it so cheap because the more western food is so much cheaper in Malaysia than say Japan and Thailand. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for replying to my comment :) I really love your videos
If you want an organic eggs, probably you can find it at local night market. Sometimes the farmers sell it there with cheaper price.
Awesome tip! Thanks for watching and commenting!
You can go to Ben's Independent Grocer or Village Grocer for your organic eggs. Or Cold Storage, though I'm not a 100% sure on Cold Storage.
Thanks for the help!
If you're looking for organic mostly u can get from medium-high supermarket.. like jaya grocer or cold storage or maybe aeon
Thanks for the info!
I'm pretty sure cold storage (1utama new wing) and village grocer (Atria Damansara Jaya) carries organic eggs. Of course, those are likely more expensive.
Ah cool, thanks for the info!
Nice video! I always go to that Tesco as well. The only item you say at RM10 is the pantene conditioner...😂
Oh cool! In fact it was actually the spread! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Oh mate, I just got back home to Malaysia after living in London for 3 years and I can honestly say, it is indeed much cheaper here compared to U.K. But I do miss the cheaper alcoholic drinks back there since I usually go to Wetherspoon almost every day for drinks as it was just around the corner from my place hahaha. But 24 hours eateries here? Omg I so miss a lot them whilst I was in London. No more frozen pizza for midnight snack lol
Haha love it! Yes Wetherspoons are great for cheap drinks! We are going to miss 24 hour restaurants when we're back in the UK so much! Thanks for watching!
OH YES. This country SO needs 24hr eateries everywhere.
Wish they have Iceland in Malaysia
Free range eggs - It's called 'kampung' (village) chicken eggs. The reason why it's called kampung chicken eggs is that the chickens are allowed to roam free.
Ah that's great, we'll try and find some! Thanks for watching and commenting!
one of the reason why the food are cheap (apart from the exchange rate) is because they are made in local manufacturing factory. Malaysian government encourage manufacturing and for locals to buy Malaysian made stuffs.
That's great!
this is something that i do when i travel. but at smaller scale, usually local 7Eleven. its a fun thing to do though to see things u never know exist haha
Checking out a new supermarket when landing in a new country is one of our favourite things to do! So much fun seeing what you can buy and what's expensive and cheap.
Tesco is actually in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Kuala Lumpur is over the other side :) Also yes, the meat at Tesco.. :P
Ah yes we realised after filming, our mistake! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Really? Patutlah payah aku dr PJ ke KL siap pakai LRT lg nak pergi KL
Yes you can ... in our country (IRAN) you can have your MONTHLY shopping bags with the same amount (165RM)
I mean make these Groceries triple and include meats and other things .
BoH tea from Cameron Highlands.
Yes, we do have pork products in supermarkets
2digits price in your receipt should be your butter as would cost to RM10-11 depending on which brand
tesco is the local's one stop to cheap products, mainly locals.
Yes it was the butter! Thanks for watching!
cheap for you... expensive for me 😭😭😭😭
Muhammad Akmal go earn pound or usd then. haha
Scarlet Heart and Kuwait dinar.. #1 highest currency in the world
Ultraman Terulung nope... bitcoin 💪💪
Murah tu bro... Cuba banding harga barang runcit di Sabah. Menangis woh... Gaji dah la ciput, barangan mahal2. Kalau Sabahan pegi sana memang rasa heaven ja beli barangan runcit hahaha
Ir Yan hahaha lah ya ka?... tapi ikan udang murah bro hahaha... terbalik
how cute the way you pronounce "damansara kuala lumpur, malaysia" 😄😍
Haha thanks!
Happy seeing you guys enjoying your time shopping things in our country. I could see your happy faces saying the things you were buying at the supermarket were cheap (if converted to pounds). Sadly, which is a reality for Malaysia citizens, the groceries in Malaysia's supermarkets are actually expensive for the majority of the Malaysian people.
Many citizens are being burdened with this situation. Malaysian ringgit value or currency are getting lower and lower nowadays, while the groceries and foods prices are getting higher and higher. This incredibly endangered situation makes tourist like u guys from foreign countries, feel super happy and excited with the low prices here, if u convert the value of the groceries into pound, or even euros. Even singaporeans like to come shopping here. Can you imagine 1 dollar singapore is equal to 3.12 ringgit malaysia? No wonder tourist from other countries like to shop and eat at our country! It is super cheap for them!
Again I'm really happy to see you guys enjoying your time in Malaysia. I do feel happy as a Malaysia citizen, when tourist from other countries feel excited and complimenting their time in my country. But sometimes, I just can't help feeling sad for myself and my other fellow Malaysia citizens, that we're not happy with our own country.
May you guys enjoy your stay in Malaysia (if you're still in Malaysia), and please do enjoy and be amazed with our incredible foods and culture :) (sorry if my english is not that good )
Hi Mirzan, your English is amazing! Thanks so much for such an incredible comment, it's great for us to get informed and it's really interesting situation, we can definitely see it from your point of view now! Thansk fo watching!
organic eggs? just look for Telur ayam Kampung.which might be hard to find in Mutiara damansara but you can find them in the outskirts of kl.
Thanks for the tip!
No biggie mate 😀
Must be from the famous south east bubble in the UK. In Wales it's the same price as Malaysia. Also it's really not cheap for the locals there.
Absolutely! Haha, you are right.
Organic eggs (imported) can be found in Jaya Grocers at Starling Mall, PJ. I believe these are selling for at least RM30 per dozen. I'm not sure if the commercially available kampung eggs qualify as organic.
Awesome, thanks for the info!
A Malaysian based grocery Mydin could offer less 20%-30% of the price. But it is common for locals and tight walkways except for those big ones.
Interesting!
Nice video, me too always shopping at tesco near my house, yellow sticker on orange that is discount price, must be sour valencia orange. Everyday got discount (yellow sticker) till 50-75% selected nearly expiry items, very cheap, 12 noon onwards
So glad you liked it, and great tip on the yellow stickers!
You can visit the BOH tea fields/factory in the cameron highlands. Fun trip.
Great video guys..
Thanks so much!
As a Malaysian, I wish to feel the same way like you guys every time I do grocery shopping. But, its totally the opposite lol
That's a shame! Thanks for watching!
Wait till you get to Mydin. Its the cheapest !
We'll check it out!
or 99
i must agree on ur say about the pricing of milk in Malaysia. i lived in Liverpool during my younger days and when i got back to Malaysia in 1997 i cant find milk with the exact taste i was used to in the UK(that time) . Nowadays there are already milk with the taste im used to but can only find whenever i go to Peninsular. Here in East Malaysia,i still cant find milk with the same taste and price is much higher. Anyway, my friends from abroad like KAYA spread or coconut egg jam. u guys should try them!
Tesco pricings are a bit cheaper than grocery shops in East Malaysia @Sabah. :(
So i cant guess which item costs double digits but i think it is the Naturel Butter...
Ah that's so interesting, funnily enough we've never actually been to Liverpool in the UK haha! Interesting about the milk also! We love the Kaya here, especially the Pandan Kaya! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I love your channel! so great to hear that you're making an effort to cut down on plastic
Yes we've heard about the zero-waste movement, amazing! Thanks for watching!
Great video guy's never knew that there was a Tesco in KL
Try going to any "99 speedmart" nearby and they do sells free range eggs there. Look for "telur kampung" and it's those white shelled eggs.
Thanks for the info!
I recommend you to go Giant or Hero Market they are sloghtly cheaper than tesco
Thanks for the tip!
