      Quick tips: Languages that work real well in Malaysia - English of course no issues in majority big cities/towns; Mandarin use widely with Malaysian Chinese; Cantonese also works in places in KL, Petaling Jaya which is seamlessly connected with KL, Cantonese also works in places such as Ipoh.
      I watched your vids previously travelled other places, but now in Malaysia, if happens you guys need anything to get answers, I believed fellow Malaysians are more than happy to help. Enjoy your stay & joirney here.
      Btw, next Sunday is Chinese/Lunar New Year(CNY) day1, do take your time to feel how we malaysia chinese celebrating CNY, how we do shopping spree to prep for the occasion etc. I guarantee it is a merrier one.
      This year's everyone is anticipating for massive celebration, bcuz we were basically limited to have celebration previous years due to Covid-19 lockdown.
      Stay safe, stay healthy and take care. 新年快乐,發啊 😊🙏🏻

There's also some comments there that recommend more places to eat in Ipoh that you can check out.

They are entertaining and informative probably because your kind personalities and photogenic qualities show through. Plus you sharp editing with a good combo of narration and camera shots make for a good and never dull watch.

    8- cendol dessert
    9- Teh Tarik (pull tea. Can be found in mamak or indian Muslim coffeeshops or Malay food outlets).
    10- apam balik (There's the thick version and the thing crispy version)

    In Malaysia, the Chinese dialect "officially" use is Mandarin because that is the dialect used in the Chinese based schools. However, Malaysian Chinese still use various dialects for everyday use. It depends on the area actually. Central Malaysia, is predominantly Cantonese speaking, and Hokkien is used predominantly in Penang. Other states uses Mandarin, smattering of Hakka, Teochew. I don't know if this helps. But basically the two main dialects used in Malaysia is mandarin and Cantonese.

    Sawatdeekrup! Finally you guys made it to Malaysia, a country I call home, after Phuket. Kuala Lumpur (pronounced Loom-Poor) is really a big city(and quite congested too haha) yet it has greenery spots scattered around the city. Do avoid the city centre whenever it rains heavily as it is pretty prone to flash floods. China Town or better known as Petaling Street offers you both the new and old and you really need to walk. Cantonese is widely spoken in Kuala Lumpur so you are in good hands. Chow Kit, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman is also one of the older areas in Kuala Lumpur and for more greenery, can visit Taman Tasik Perdana, Titiwangsa, Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, just to name a few. Hope Malaysia gives you new adventures and stay safe!

    You should try Malaysian durian since its in season. Malaysian durian is different from Thai durian. We let the durian ripen naturally and fall by themselves so the taste and flavour is stronger than Thai durian. You should try the different varieties of durian like XO, D24, Black thorn, Red Prawn, Musang King, kampong durian and many many more.

Like Penang Melaka has been declared as a Unesco heritage city. In addition to the traces of Portuguese, Dutch and English remains, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday there is the legendary Jonker Street night market, where there is a variety of street food that is often praised by vloggers like you. However, if two of you are heading to Penang, you can also stop by the city of Taiping, which was the capital of Malaysia before independence, which used to be called Malaya before Bristih's administrative capital was moved to Kuala Lumpur.

Weather easily changes to rainy in the north peninsula, Penang and Langkawi Island. At Ipoh, you can drive up to Cameron Highlands of Pahang about an hour drive. You can enjoy the cool breeze of CH. So much to do there and you can Google it. Hope you enjoy your time here in Malaysia.

    Please try to visit Langkawi from Penang by Ferry Boat which is calm & quiet with less crowd mostly. Also try to visit Johor Bahru City which is opposite to Singapore and by bus from KL you can reach there within 4-5hrs. Remember their slogan Malaysia is Truly Asia

    You've done Petaling Street mostly chinese area, explore Batu caves & little India and try their dish like roti Canai and famous drinks Teh tarik (pulled tea). For Malay, try explore Kampung Baru, is the last Malay village in the heart of KL, you can try Nasi Lemak Wanjo and there is a new pedestrian bridge that link Kampung Baru and KLCC with colourful light in the night. Since you have car, you can also explore Putrajaya. Try google for the place mentioned, for more information. Please take note that this weekend, the Highway probably will be congested due to long holiday for Chinese New Year, always be update with the traffic news! Happy exploring guys!

    It really depends on where you are in Malaysia, the main Chinese dialects changes. In Kuala Lumpur & Ipoh, mostly speaks Cantonese and while you move further 30 km to Klang, people speaks Hokkien like in Penang. But, Mandarin are used in nearly everywhere in Malaysia.

    @maxdc988 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    There are more Chinese who understand Cantonese than Mandarin in the capital Kuala Lumpur given the state Malay-English education, popularity of TVB/Shaw Brothers dramas over the decades here and the fact that Cantonese has been used as the lingua franca for immigrants from Southern China (especially Guangdong) since the 18th century. I know many Hakka or other dialects families who used only Cantonese at home. But Mandarin or Hokkien usage is more prevalent in some rural areas. 😂

    • @weilee1155

    • @maxdc988
      @maxdc988 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Xarifa Lee Differentiate not "different shed". Why do we need to differentiate? Mandarin is a common language for Chinese people of different ethnicities in China, Taiwan and Singapore and also Malaysia in official Chinese events. Why don't you "differentiate" yourself from Englishmen by not using English? Language is to facilitate communication between people. As long as the speaker and the listener understand the same language, then that language can be used.

    Hi - While going north- explore some little cute small town on the coast instead of using highway/fastway.
    After u have done KL - go to Kuala Selangor - Sekinchan -Teluk Intan - Setiawan - Pantai Remis-Ipoh -Taiping -Kuala Sepatang-Kuala Kurau -Bukit Mertajam-Butterworth and finally to Georgetown
    People can communicate cantonese in KL/Ipoh - if they cant speak they definitely can understand .In penang people tend to speak mandarin

  • @weeeee8232
    @weeeee8232 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    14:25 cantonese is more widely spoken in KL, mandarin is common too.
    actually, you can always try cantonese first to test the water. if they prefer mandarin, they will reply in mandarin or any other language. no worry and dont be shy. malaysian wont scold ppl for not speaking in a specific language.. well, most wont.. 😁

    Hi Flora and Note. I subscribed your channel like 6 month ago and I am addicted to it. Really love watching your Thai videos. Am super excited that you are in my country now. Welcome and have a wonderflo stay in Malaysia. While in Peninsular Malaysia, you must visit Perhentian Island. I recommend you to stay at Long Beach. Let us know how this island compare to Thai's island. And please plan for a trip to hike Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia. The view at the peak is totally out of this world. You need to get in touch with a tour agent who will arrange for the trip. The price for 2D1N hike is close to RM2K but it is definitely worth it. While in Sabah, a hike to Bohey Dulang peak is a must! Enjoy!

If you need to ask anything and encountered people who did not respond well, do know that it could be because of our dialect or some of us are afraid to speak in English and we are shy for not being able to, but there are many of us who speak in English.. so just approach anyone and we would be very happy to help you out!

    RexKL - At Chinatown KL, on Jalan Sultan which is the road parallel to Petaling Street, there is the old cinema building called RexKL. It has been repurposed to contain some eateries on the lower ground level and upstairs you have the main tenant BookXcess (book shop) which has been designed to fit within the space of the old cinema. The architects kept most of the old building intact. Imagine huge book shelves built on multi levels of steps where the old cinema seats used to be. Sometimes there are art exhibitions held there as well.
    In Ipoh, this same BookXcess bookshop has a small branch in the Kong Heng restaurant area in Ipoh Old Town. It is housed in an old bank. It is interesting to go down to the basement level because the bank vault used to be there and they've kept the vault doors and the safe deposit boxes around. There is also a tiny little museum dedicated to the late Yasmin Ahmad, a advertising creative director turned movie director. Would be nice to just pop in if you are already in the area.

Also not to miss out Autocity night market and Icon City in Bukit Mertajam

    I'm a Singaporean. And I have to say that Malaysian Chinese food is really on another level. I enjoy the plenty of pork lard and flavourful sauces that they use in some food as well as certain ingredients that are already prohibited in Singapore i.e. pig's blood curd.
    Singapore food is way too healthy already. Haha. We cut down alot on oil, salt and sugar.
    Apology that I can't comment on the authentic Malaysia Muslim or Indian cuisines as I never try them at all when I was in the different states in Malaysia. But I can vouch that Malaysian Chinese food is simply amazing!
