I thought you guys went back or hopping on to other countries 😅.
So happen, you guys are still in Malaysia 😊😊😊
I’m watching from UK. Those prices are insane, especially the chicken breasts. Looking forward to your new videos.
How much is checken breast in uk?
uk prices are affordable too.....compare to malaysia
Yes, things in Malaysia are relatively cheap for foreigners, but less so for the locals, as the wages and weak Ringgit currency is not helping
@muhammad11ali11 I am "drowning". My salary now in usd is 880 plus. Because 1 usd is rm 4.7 now
@@muhammad11ali11 If you buy local products, the "weak" ringgit doesn't matter much. Just like the chicken prices in Lotus.
With your currency, coming here to Malaysia.. u will enjoy all the premium quality life at a low cost easily.. njoy ur stay in Malaysia ❤
MALAYSIA 🇲🇾 IS FAMILY FRIENDLY AND BEAUTIFUL AMAZING COUNTRY ❤
all Tesco in Malaysia was acquired by Lotus, Thailand
Giant - cold storage sold too to local people
Yes, things in Malaysia are relatively cheap for foreigners, but less so for the locals, as the wages and weak Ringgit currency is not helping.😅
The "weak" ringgit is planned by BNM. It is designed to help our export, tourism and F&B sectors.
@@squidster3128 That is only logic if Malaysian is so active in export. in reality, we are more on Import than export.
@@squidster3128 The weak currency is due to the incompetent, corrupt, successive Malay governments. Planning has nothing to do with it.
@@suhandatankerMalaysia is the Highest Exporter of palm oil.
Which the got from Nigeria.
Malaysia also Build their economy with exports.
@@IsraelKalu-ji7dk It's also the biggest supplier of rubber, right now the imports are RM112b and exports are 126b. So my comment is outdated.
Lotus’s took over all Tesco stores in Asia. My first Tesco shopping was in Hendon, North London back in 1997 and the first Tesco store in Malaysia was in Puchong, Selangor just outskirt or KL just 2km from where I am residing
It’s lovely to see your family in Malaysia ❤
You both have three wonderful daughters
Amazing parent with 3 children to take care, huge responsible.
I subscribed
What a nice family , thank you for the pricing.. as an American I think those prices were amazing.❤
Thanks for sharing. We are heading over to Malaysia shortly for a vacation and I'm interested in what its like to live there.
It is fantastic... Malaysia is fabulous.
just subsribed ur channel ❤
@@nazrimansor1112 awesome, so excited as we've never been before.

if you like it

WELCOME HOME TO YOU AND FAMILY.
Watching from UK. Enjoy
節目很健康，可以在馬來西亞申請第二家園给女兒讀華校的😅
Working remotely while residing in msia offers a highly desirable and advantageous lifestyle, welcome to msia 😅
It will save us money if you can cook at home, plus there is a large selection of products available in the store
The Chicken! 😮 wow, protein goals will be hit 💪🏽
Back to watch your videos after a while.
Your girls really made my day each time they appeared 😅
Cheap for all those who carries £,USD, Sing dollars, Euros. Expensive for us ordinary Malaysians. Prices have risen 25 -30% across the board since the pandemic but our wages remains pretty stagnant
Happy to have your family back in Penang, Malaysia.
Some items like chicken, eggs, the price was controlled by the goverment, so you can buy it cheap, enjoy your shopping & have a nice day, God bless your family😊
Yes rice too. Plus small packet cooking oil
@@keangwooichoo6138 including gas/fuel, thanks to our goverment for trying their best to help us.
Chicken and eggs not controlled by gov anymore.
@@nine_millimeter owh..ok.
Fantastic guys, luv your vlogs. Hope you are all well. ❤
Its cheaper for you but for us locals with local salaries, it's quite expensive, the rates have major differences, but the purchasing power is the same.
Normally, there is 30 eggs in the large tray.
Locals felt the pinch. 1usd = 4.8 ringgit. Previously 4.2. If you use pound, it will be cheaper except liquor
A big tray of eggs you saw just now has 30 eggs and not 24. That's standard price of RM12+ for grade B of normal eggs. The Omega ones will cost slightly more. The packet slice cheese normally comes in 6 or 12s. Yes Penang is a great place to stay in Malaysia. Has got both city and beach vibes 😊 Great food too.
I can't compare to the UK, but I do know that my supermarket shopping here in KL in Malaysia is way more expensive, than what I was paying for the same products back in The Netherlands, when living there. Life in Malaysia can be very affordable, but not in supermarkets.
It depends on what you get, milk and cheese are definitely not cheaper in Malaysia as can be seen in this video.
This was so useful great content thanks guys keep it up ❤
Hi loved the Vlog. Very helpful. Looking forward to the next one. Fiona and Neil.
You are such an adorable set of parents and humans, love you ❤
Econsave and NSK supermarket might be cheaper! Don't forget to make a comparison.
I was in the UK (Edinburgh) last week, oh boy...now Fish n Chips £15 = RM90. You guys can spend like king here in Malaysia 😂. 1 week in the UK holiday is probably 3 weeks here in KL.
Fish & chip was £5-7 before, was cheap, i dont know how much now… but i notice previously when our family ate out it was about £30ish (2 adult 2 children) but now it’s £50ish
Fish & chips? U must be kidding?😅
Fish N Chips in KL - RM15 to RM20
American Breakfast - RM10 to RM15
So why pay more?
I drove to edinburgh twice, loved it!
But oh boy, you have to travel down to liverpool to get those chippies! I highly recommend this corner store to you, and to everybody else:
best kebab, which is located on brownlow hill road right in the middle of the city. It's operated by some turkish guys if I'm not mistaken, it's halal for muslims too.
When I was there last year it opened from 4pm to 4am. Yup you read that correctly. Twice I stopped there around midnight, driving back home to liverpool from manchester airport after some trips to europe. In the cold weather where you might be mistaken to be smoking every time you spoke or breathed out through your mouth, those freshly baked, smoking hot fish and chips provided a delicious relief! As long as I remembered to tell the guys, no vinegar and loads of extra mayonnaise hahah. And every time I went there was specifically for their thick delicious fish and chips, never for their kebabs haha. I've tasted fish and chips in blackpool and some other cities, but personally that corner store in liverpool was the best ever, and what we have in malaysia do not even come anywhere close!
And it only cost £6.50 with the chips!!
@@cececonnie5509 fish and chips used to be £1 - £2 in 2001
Thats true..........Lotus have been taken over from Tesco recently.
Have taken over, not have been taken over
Woow. food is so expensive in malaysia considering per capita income is so less compared to western countries. I live in the US and you can find similar pricing in COstco!
Malaysia is the best! So happy you see your family having a good time in my home country. Whilst I am paying so much at Tesco’s here in the UK every week. 50 quid at least and you don’t get very much!
If u look from uk or those big countries currency 💲 n buying items in Malaysia is different, but if it's local Malaysian we will compare all the stuff, items before we buy 😅
How did you make that dollar sign like that? Just asking
@@dediamkaming Emoji app 😅🤔😳
Lotus's used to be Tesco's partner in Thailand, thus many Tesco's vendors still supplying Lotus's here. Try the smaller banana (local name: Berangan), its tastier. The sodium content of the instant noodle quite high, haha ... 😀
I remember these:
Milo can of 400g was £4.50 both in tesco and sainsbury's, and neither had a different size nor the soft refill packs
Fragrant thai jasmine rice sack of 5kg was £7 in sainsbury's, that was the max size they carried, if you wanted a 10kg sack you need to go to the mini markets operated by middle eastern or oriental owners, but usually those stores had higher prices
Sainsbury's own brand whole milk was £1.75 for a carton of 2.27L (yes it's odd, but surprise surprise, the UK still uses imperial measurements instead of metric in many things, including distances therefore speedometers in cars display mph!)
For mineral water, a carton of 4 bottles x 2L each (here they used metric already hahah) was cheapest at aldi, at £1.39 and although most of the times I shopped either at tesco or sainsbury's, I cannot recall what their prices were, probably around £1.70
Colgate total went for £3 at tesco for the 125ml tube
And lastly, sainsbury's own brand 75g a4 printer paper was £4.75 but I don't remember how many pieces were in that ream
Have a good time
Hello, nice to meet you all. Thank you to you all cause Shopping in Msia.💝✌
Happy Shopping ❤❤❤
Nicely paced, great video. IMO, I would recommend not serving your girls any food products that contained "high fructose corn syrup" or "monosodium glutamate" ingredients. Best luck to you and family, cheerio!
Very good video and very clear and doing price comparison thumbs up 👆
Wow I am malaysian and I literally shock with the pringles price of 2 pounds. As I only bought mister potato
First time knew it
Lotus is tesco shop n now ownership is thai
love the video, keep it up 👍
I am British Bangladeshi and i am thinking about buying a property in Malaysia. I want to rent it out for 15-20 years until i retire. I'll visit often.
WOW
Malaysian earning ringgit is suffering. Dollar to dollar Malaysia food is super expensive than UK. If you earn a British pound and spend in Malaysia of course it is cheap . Dollar to dollar UK is cheaper. I been to UK recently and found their supermarket is much cheaper than London if you earn British pound
Although illegal in Malaysia consider handcuffs when in front of the camera.
Buying decent bread in Malaysia is so, so difficult and all of that shown caters for local tastes and is loaded with sugar. For good bread, you have to bake it yourself or try and find a proper local bakery in which case you have to take time and travel costs into account.
Good cheese is also difficult to buy outside of Cold Storage stores although at least, supermarkets do offer some choice. I usually buy mine in Singapore. Malaysian milk is nowhere close to UK milk in terms of taste.
It's never worth buying cheap suitcases even if you travel once a year.
Bananas used to be so much cheaper, so cheap that many small shop just left them hanging outside after they closed. The range of fruit is impressive and cheap but best bought after tasting which small vendors don't just allow but encourage.
Local people don't like chicken breasts because they're considered dry and tasteless, that's why they're so cheap. If you want decent beef you have a real problem, it's very difficult to find and very, very expensive.
"Quality eggs" how do you know? If you're going to make comparisons to the UK then you have to include all of the quality assurance, traceability and animal welfare and nit just prices.
Sugar free soda? I wouldn't drink it let alone give it to children.
The difference in price between countries, when you boil it down, it's really taxes.
Keep on growing beautiful little girl😊😊😊then just find a handsome malaysia guy live in malaysia here after😅😅😅
Just realized how expensive grocery in east Malaysia
Milo concoctions in SE Asia should not be missed!
Lotuss (from Thailand):bought tesco in SE Asia
Fyi, there are 30 eggs in that tray.
I used to buy old town but damn sweet lol
Tesco in msia n thailand just acquired by Lotus frm thailand.their products mainly comes frm uk n local brands.unfortunately tesco hs sold their businesses just recently.
A lot of people are boycotting Tesco around the world due to their unconditional support for Israel
telur tu bukan 24 biji, 30 biji semuanya
The only thing you missed was salami!
How was chinese new year in penang?
My neighbour is using the social credit thing from UK and living in Malaysia for years, he said it's somewhat illegal though but wouldn't it make more sense to live in lower cost country?
Lotus' bought over tesco
Very informative video, thanks for sharing..
Yes Tesco
Didn't they rename it as "Lotus's" tho?
Do you like to go to Singapore 🇸🇬 and Thailand 🇹🇭
All Lotus supermarket were Tesco until it was sold.
Buy local brands instead of imported ones, they are much cheaper.
That's 30 eggs in one big tray.i always buy gradeD for rm11.90 at Giant
i love the accent🤩🤩
Wondering u disappear almost 5months no vlog we thought u return back to UK
But the well off locals dont go to Lotus lol. the products are all crap. we go to B.I.G.
A more expensive supermarket in Malaysia is Jaya Grocer and Village Grocer - for upper middle class in Malaysia because of premium pricing
Earning pounds spending ringgit, what a privilege .😊
I missed tesco, in uk & in msia..😉
Sounds cheap if you earn in pound sterling...but for local malaysian earning in ringgit, its expensive
Basically to live there you need some sort of remote job because the salary is low
Tp kat lotus masih mahal.. baik beli mydin atau econsave.. barang sikit beli speed99
Unfortunately Hutchinson family could not understand your message in Malay.
Goodday milk tastes the best
Pack of 10 toilet roll in malaysia is £1.80. In UK a big pack is 18 rolls for £5.50. Not really worth moving to malaysia just to save a pound.
Bread in UK is 70p so its actually more expensive in malaysia.
Yeah don't move to malaysia for toilet rolls 😂👍
what you can buy in UK but not found here
Apparently 7 eleven is big in Malaysia and cheap
Do you drink water? Noticed you consumed lots of soda. Just curious🤔🤔
Is the alternative to pringles as good
Pepsi Max my favourite. Great taste!
High in sugar.
I cut down sugar 90% so I could continue to eat until I die. I don't want diabetes or any other medication.
the gentleman looks like Boris Johnson brother.
I have 3 plans for Malaysia
1. Buy a property
2. Move to Malaysia
3. Find a Malaysian lady to marry
why not if have the cash to splash
Former Tesco😊
With pound sterling forex at its all time high now, everything u touched on there are going chirpy chirpy cheap cheap for sure mate lol😅
30 eggs pertray actually .. 😊
the average salary there is under £1000 per month
Which school is your kids going to in Malaysia 🇲🇾
40p per kg of chicken
You didn't compare to UK prices ! Only converted RM to GBP @6....duh
do you think the price in malaysia is cheaper compared to uk...?
👍👍👍
Try local bananas 🍌🍌🍌
Its much tastier than imported
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊😂❤
❤❤❤
as a Malaysian, even RM10,000 is not enough nowadays
Learn to be thrifty and RM2000 is enough for me
@cac1504 How much do you pay for your house installments, your car, your wife's car. utility bills, children tuition fees, groceries for a family of 5 and how much money do you give your old parents plus their medical treatments a month. On top of that you have to take your family out for dinner and outings.
Dumb, senkuang is a local name for turnip!😅
👍👍👍👍👍
