- My journey in Malaysia continues with the Jungle Railway across the beautiful rainforest in the center of Malaysia. from Kuala Lipis to Kota Bharu, a city at the very north-east of the Malaysian peninsula. Outside my hotel in Kota Bharu, I accidentally discovered the birdnest/swiftlet farms, which are known for their expensive birdnest production. Then I went for a talk with the friendly locals and tried some nice food on the streets!
(Please correct me if I gave any wrong information, I am still learning all the way!)

Those kids waving at people on the other train and them waving back is the cutest thing ever 😊
The fact that you don't use filter(unlike most East Asian) and apply simple makeup in your video makes them more unique.
You’re an adventurous girl. Your videos clips totally different from many others you tubers from China. Salute to you! FYI drinks in Malaysia or South East Asia generally are too sweet for Chinese’s tongue.Just tell the seller -kurang manis (ku-rang ma-nis) means less sweet when ever you make order.
@@littlechineseeverywhere Condensed milk is added to tea or coffee in South East Asia not fresh milk and sugar. Except tea and coffee in café.
@@littlechineseeverywhere U know whats funny when comes to Tea and Malaysia for commoners? When u order Tea it always meant for Tea that comes with Milk. If u want Tea without Milk u either say Teh O or Teh Kosong with the latter stands for Zero or plain. This i think is unique to only Malaysia and Singapore. Funs fact.
@@littlechineseeverywhere Semoga anda Bisa datang ke Indonesia menikmati keindahan alam yang enggak tertandingi di Indonesia kami selalu mempertontonkan Budaya lokal dibandingkan Malasia. Ingat Malasia tidak Punya identitas Lokal.
Datanglah ke Indonesia berwisata dijamin kamu akan mendapatkan pengalaman luar biasa disini 🥰🇮🇩🙏🏾.
@@suhanjayalian5044 Indogs mula menyelit 😁
@@littlechineseeverywhere Lots of indonesian migrants here in Malaysia and refuse to leave. They work here as coolies
I was a Malaysian (from Ipoh) but now an Australian. Following your videos in Malaysia bring back many many memories of my childhood there.
I am a 65 year-old malaysian and i have never been on the jungle railway! Thanks to you i promise myself to take the train to tumpat before i turn 66 😆
Same here. This is on my bucket list.😊
i am your accountability partner. it has been one year. have you fulfilled your promise?
Hi Joel, thank you for reminding me. Oh God, i just turned 66, and this trip has eluded me... i'm going to book the trip now. Will update once completed 😀
Greetings from America Yan. I'm enjoying your trip back home from Switzerland and really like your unique vlogging style. In an earlier vlog (intro?) you questioned your command of English. Please don't, it is excellent and honestly better than many native born & raised Americans. Thanx for taking me along today !!
You will never encounter any communication problem here in Malaysia. Generally here most malaysians of all walk of life do speak simple English even in rurals area. Looking forward to your next vlog.
Although Kota Bahru looks like a sleepy town, your exploration made me interested in this town and the much new information you shared about it. And Kuba Guling looks really delicious. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am a new friend here. Greetings from Singapore.
So nice to see the locals interacting with you and explaining things.
she must be surprised most of us can speaks English very well.... even little kids...😁
@@apitameer4324 And almost 30% of us can speak mandarin, including non-chinese.
The kids spoke great English, and it's their 2nd or 3rd language. In Malaysia, I found that many people can speak 3 languages - they are smart. I am so dumb that I only know 1 language :(
Finally new video,love it so much! U're such a brave & adventurous female solo traveler. Salute! 你的視頻讓人耳目一新，還有配上音樂，文字等等。。一個蠻高素質的視頻，有別於其他中國博主，和很多西方博主，覺得就像看著國家地理頻道的旅遊節目，拍得太好看了，加油！👍🏻 來自馬來西亞人😊
@@littlechineseeverywhere 原來啊😊👍🏻。。
Even i am south east asia people, i just know that Malaysia has this train route. Amazing 🤣 thank you for making this video.
I think kubaguling dessert is called "Piak-pun" in thailand, usually its has black (from burned coconut coir) or green (from pandan) colour 😁
Once again, a wonderful adventure off the tourist route. Kudos on trying different and with a curious but sunny attitude and disposition. Cheers and adventure on!
Hi... I took that train with my little sister way back in 1975 to visit our grandma during school holidays... that was the first and the last... 😂
when it comes to friendliness Malaysia is right on top its a very interesting video really enjoyed it , thanks for sharing 😃
Thanks for your video. I didn't even know we have a Jungle Railway. Sthg new I am learning from you Yan.
I travelled in Malaysia by train in the 1970s and 1980s. Your video brings back many happy memories, Thank you
我在2019，1/25 由Kul a lipis前一站jerantut （近大漢國家公園）坐6:18森林火車北上Wakef bharu14:08到，结果17:15才到(要走到大街才有bus，M1,6到Kota bharu)若火車坐到pasair mas,站外有bus 回Kota bharu，M2.6.，住二夜，再坐夜bus6h向東到北海38M/6 h ，森林真美！但火車慢又誤點，看到你也在慢旅行！真好！
My father was transferred from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bahru. The trip took us south to Gemas before going north. That was in 1958 and the overnight traiin was probably fairly new THEN but from your video, the train looks awful now - not maintained , probably the same train ! No birds' nests farming neither.. We stayed 3 years in KB - the population was different from that of the west coast but with its authenticity (then - I haven't been back since we left ), I loved it. A memorable stay !
1958, my grandfather was the Head Station master (Ketua Stesen Besar) and he was based in Singapore. When the train pulls into the station before the journey, he would do an inspection. If he found the train not cleaned properly, he would send it back to the shed to be recleaned. And it s not the same train. In 1958, second class coaches were non aricon. There were fans on the ceiling, and the windows could be opened by lifting them up
@@JaswantSingh-ym9zo wow thank you for sharing this detailed memory! so nice people are able to connect from all over, past to present, through this video!
Interesting train ride. The tiered roofs are typical of Pasisir architecture found in all coastal 'Malay' villages in the archipelago, now coasts of Malaysia, Indonesia, Indo-china, Mindano-Philippines.
Very entertaining. Watching your video makes me miss the jungle train a lot. Hope to ride it again soon. 👍🏾
Wow ...very good video again. I am from west coast of Malaysia, I will never ever have a chance to take this railway route to go to the Kota Bahru, thank you for bring me a tour view in this video
Love the content and love the candid witty presentation. Keep it up gal. ❤️
So happy you upload new videos! God bless your journey always! 🇲🇾🥰🙏
welcome to Malaysia! Hope you have a wonderful time here and a great day ahead!
Hi, they also use a recording of the birds chirping to attract more birds. That is why it is loud.
Back in the 90's, I remember riding an old train back to my hometown in Perak, I was just a boy back then. So much old memories. Now they even have bunk beds, I might give it a try one day.
if you're in KL, its normal to take the new ETS train now from sentral station up north.. its electric, fast and quiet.. the aircond is also super cold.
Hello! I’m from Malaysia. I’ve been a follower of your post. Hope you enjoy your travels through my country.
The brother selling apom balik is so 👍, nice kelate, i went there in Aug this year, really 👍 food nice people.
Wow, awesome. Simply feel very relaxing watching your channel 👍🙏
Perjalanan yang menyenangkan naik kereta api berkipas angin dan sebagian ber AC dengan pemandangan yang indah menakjubkan mengingatkan Nostalgia tahun 2012 pas mudik lebaran dan sekarang tinggal kenangan . Itu kok ada yang mengeluarkan anggota badan serta duduk dipintu kereta ya waaoooow . Di negaraku membuka pintu waktu kereta api sedang berjalan adalah ilegal dan dilarang keras karena sangat membahayakan . Terima kasih atas video nya yang sangat bagus .
the nice thing about malaysia ,even at the most rural areas, English is widely understood and spoken and lastly Malaysian Chinese is everywhere..hahaha
I love the food with teh tarik on the overnight jungle train, from Singapore to Kelantan.
The best Bird nest used to be from Sarawak., mostly harvested from the caves. Sarawak pepper is the best in the world.
@@littlechineseeverywhere In some areas in Miri and Bau , there are still some bird nest harvesting going on in some caves. Too dangerous and need 100% focus on cave climbing so they won't let people following them.
Actually a few of the southern Thailand provinces especially Narathiwat, Yala, Patani and some parts of Songkhla share similar religion, language, culture and foods with the state of Kelantan (Kota Baru is the state capital). So it is not accurate to say their foods are influenced by Thailand because the people in southern Thailand and Kelantan are essentially the same people ethnically. Before the advent of modern state and immigration control there were free movements of people from Patani to Kelantan and vice-versa. Since then Thailand has been trying to force the assimilation of the southern people through language, you will find less and less people in southern Thailand who are able to speak Malay. So the only similarities left as time goes by will be Islamic religion, culture, clothing and food.
These provinces were once independent kingdom under the Sultanate of Patani and later were conquered by the Sukhotai and Ayuthaya Kingdom from Siam (Thailand’s old name) in the 17th Century. After that the kingdom had to pay yearly tributes to Ayuthaya Kingdom. Due their continous rebellion against Thai rules (on a smaller scale even until today), Patani was broken up into 3 smaller provinces as mentioned earlier.
The Sultanate for the 4 northermost states in Malaysia (Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan and Terengganu used to pay tributes to Siam kingdom until 1909 when Anglo-Siam treaty was signed whereby Britain recognised Siam sovereignity over Patani and Siam relinquished its claim over the 4 northern states.
Thank you.
Thanks for your great explanation. I'm indonesian, I've been to KL and Kelantan as well. My friends who originally from Kelantan never told me this haha. I enjoy their food though
@@HuciDufron You are welcome. Yes, not many people even in Malaysia are aware of this and what more people from other countries. Similarly south eastern region of Sumatra also share the same cuisines unique to the west coast of Malay Peninsula and vice versa due to the past movement of people when there was no border restrictions.
From which part of Indonesia are you from?
First-time viewer. I don't how or why I found it, but I will watch more from you. Very well done.
10:06 "im going sleep comfortably to the end"
Kid screaming in the background 😬😬😬
The origins of Apam balik / 曼煎粿 attributes its invention to Zuo Zongtang, a military leader of the late Qing dynasty. In 1855, the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom invaded the Fujian region and General Zuo was appointed to lead an army to crush the rebels. To provide the soldiers with food without interfering the life of local people, General Zuo decided to switch from the flatbread which was eaten together with spring onion and chilli sauce, to a pancake that used locally sourced and mass-produced ground cane sugar and peanut as filling.
The recipe does seem to have spread throughout the Fujian region, especially around Quanzhou and later on throughout Southeast China. It was brought south into Southeast Asia or Nanyang by Hokkien and Teochew immigrants, especially to Singapore, and merchants spread it to neighbouring regions.
The attitude of chnese they always claim everything belong to them😂. Just look at the peranakan thingy whey they claim kebaya belong to them the fact that they just chinese who wear kebaya then claim to be peranakan lol.
@@cj-fx2kj I got this from Wikipedia and even cilisos article. And also which Chinese claim kebaya belongs to us? If some are then they are wrong. For most of us, we know kebaya is originally Malay costume. By the way, I'm Malaysian Chinese.
@@ELGtheMAN , kebaya is part of Peranakan Chinese culture born out of centuries of contact with local trading port communities. A fusion of 18th century European mantua-petticoat style adapted with Malay sarong batik and gold brooch.
Apam Balik is called Ban Chien Kuih in Hokkien.
@@khairulhelmihashim2510 ya, Malaysia all campur2, but that guy towards the end of the video just BS Apam balik history LOL
When Laksaman Cheng Ho from China discover Tanah Melayu we all leave in harmony but the Dutch and British discovered Malaya, the attacked, made false accusations, pecah-belah all of us and colonized us.
Great channel, excellent video. Your content is superb. I'm in KL, I will take this train next year!!!
好看，加油加油，希望这趟马来西亚游给妳无限的欢乐和享受。燕窝屋的声音是音效来的，吸引燕子进去筑巢。Have fun on your ride.

Thanks for the journey, another good Video. Fascinating the cost of the birds nests, wonder how it tastes. Be well
@@littlechineseeverywhere Nice😊
@@kickapootrackers7255 it taste like nothing. It takes on the flavour of the liquid it is in. And the texture is like strands of jelly but little bit plasticky.
Thanks for your video! It reminded me of our recent Kelantan trip. Welcome to Malaysia 🙂
Wow!! Such genuine and authentic content! I love how you went off the beaten path! I also think your English has a German accent, not a Chinese one 😉😂
Lucky for you the local can coversation englis and chiness in what ever dilect so very convenient for you from china mainland to visit malaysia.
Love your channel. Good luck!

Nicest ppl at Kelantan.....
Nice train tour
Welcome and hope u enjoyed Malaysia 😊
everyday watch 1 Yan video... everyday learn 1 new journey
Lovely channel...Dabong was flooded severely in 2014....Just TH-cam "Dabong 2014 flood" . . . the water level was up to the roof of the KTM train at Dabong station!
Nice video. You made my heart jump. I remember the sleeper train from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur. Sadly it disappeared years ago and no more sleeper train JB > KL.
The coaches of this train are actually from two separate trains, one from Johor Bahru, and one from Kuala Lumpur. The one from JB travels northwards, and the one from KL travels southwards. They meet at Gemas, and the coaches from this two trains are then merged and then head for Tumpat.
WOW COOL!
Thanks for the information!
nope.. this is the direct ekpress rakyat timuran jb sentral-tumpat...
those train from Kl Sentral-Tumpat has cease operation, replaced by ETS
@@ijoyaziz7317 So what about those who want to travel from KL Sentral to Tumpat?
@@JaswantSingh-ym9zo from kl sentral stop at gemas.. then change train either the express rakyat timuran or shuttle.. but shuttle only reach kuala lipis.. if want to go to tumpat, change train again, the dmu from k. lipis to tumpat.. also there's dmu from k. lipis to dabong, then dabong to tumpat
Thank You!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!

Fantastic
Always wanted to see train ride across a jungle. Like a track thats super integrated with nature like a safari ride. Closest one i found so far apart from minecraft.
So many new experiences, I would love to copy your travels especially if I received the same welcome.
Thanks
thanks ❤️
Your biggest 🏆 fan 🙋🏻♂️
I didn't know there is such train exist that travels all the way from South to North lol, i'm from KL.
Sometimes we need to run away from town and be nice to nature...it will be the good for our mind and feeling...im Malaysian and village girl.i like to stay at village than town..i love natures.
If I'm not mistaken that apam balik originated from china(or Hong Kong). The Chinese ancestor bring it to south east long ago.
The place of origin for Apam Balik is Fujian, China. In Hokkien, we call it 曼煎粿 (Ban Jian Kuih).
@@EugenieTan thanks for updating the info. Was trying to recall where it came from for the past half an hour... You save my life...
Tq or or the info
@@littlechineseeverywhere I'm waiting for your fujian vlogs. Have a safe trip.
