- Today we are exploring a part of Malaysia most tourists don't know about. We are in Ipoh, which is a charming town in northwestern Malaysia that has an exciting food, culture and art scene. Ipoh is getting more attention now that CNN recently rated it as one of the most underrated places in Asia. We absolutely agree with that statement and we even feel that we could live here!

Flora is so pretty & inteligent , not only she's a poliglot but her general knowledge is above normal people. Note, you are a lucky man. 👍
He sure is! 😜❤️ haha you’re too kind
She can't read chinese though
It’s hard to meet such high expectations these days 🤣
In that case, then most Malaysians are polyglots eg many Malaysian Chinese can speak English, Malay, and Mandarin. In addition to that, some can also speak Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew etc..And that isn't even mentioning the Indians who may speak Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Urdu etc.... 🤔 And of course, there's Arabic too for the Malays
🤨 yeah…but unlucky Flora!
Oh.. Flora is From Hong Kong , I Was About Said Her Cantonese is So Fluent As Her English . Thanks Guys for Showing The World What Malaysia Is All About. More And More TH-camrs Are Begin To Like Malaysia . Thanks Again Guys.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yay! Bloopers are back! Looks like Flora had a fun time playing with the pomelo till she broke it! 🤭😅😂🤣
I have been following you guys since 2021. I keep adding cities you have visited to my "must see places to visit when I retire". We are starting our Retirement Journey in Malaysia this August. We will be in Malaysia for 90 days. Thanks for giving me more places I need to visit other than Kuala Lumpur and Penang. My list grows with every video you guys put out. Thanks.
We welcome you here, have fun 😄🌟
you should visit Malaysia's east coast & the borneo too. you'll be surprise by you can find there especially the nature.
Go to Malaysia east coast first ( Pahang , terenganu and Kelantan ) for the food and beautiful island , before October, monsoon season will start on oct until January
U are most welcome . Get to know some History of Ipoh will be more memorable . Also ,. Please do not miss out on Malay & Indian Food . Ipoh & Penang will bring U a lot of Happiness .
Ipoh food heaven for Chinese community. So much to offer. Everything can be share.
We absolutely agree!
Met you guys in Chiang Mai at the market almost 2 weeks back! Thank you for entertaining me and my friend and taking a photo with us.
Your vlogs on Malaysia 🇲🇾 is very fun and interesting. Keep it coming flo n note👍🏼
Thanks so much! We have a few more videos to come ☺️
Wow! Bloopers are finally back. I passed by Ipoh once on my way to Singapore. Must find a chance to visit this interesting city where my late father once worked and lived long long time ago.
Flora's a natural in this episode,her H.K. connection and Ipoh's Cantonese origins like duck to water...seamless.
Ipoh is the hometown of Michelle Yeoh!
Hi Flora & Note, big thanks to promote my home town, ipoh...if time allows would suggest that both of you go to visit Pangkor Island ...and like your videos
We’ll have to add it to our list for next time 😊
Buy them coffee
Really haven't expected Ipoh would be such a gorgeous place. Loved that scenic mountain scenery and very obviously it looks like Ipoh should be on every foodie's shortlist when travelling around Malaysia. We need to visit!!! Great video. Thank you guys 😊
Yesss! It’s beautiful and we had some of our favourite meals here. The Cantonese food here is amazing!
@@FloraandNote 😍
@@FloraandNote Don't quote me but I think it's the most Cantonese (& Hakka) diaspora area in Peninsular Malaysia.
@@goodguyaus yes but unfortunately the public transportation there is the worst.
Ipoh is the food haven for most of us. Many travel to Ipoh during the weekend just for food!
Ipoh is a foodies melting pot and famous for its soup shredded chicken flat noodles, kaya toast with half boiled eggs, salted chicken, dim sum and wan tan noodles. You should visit the Thong Sui Kai (Dessert street) for dinner or supper. Enjoy yourselves, guys in Ipoh!
The 'O' in Kopi O means the color black in the Hockien/Teochew Chinese dialect (my own original dialect) or when it comes to drinks, it technically means milk-less. Really love dipping my kaya toast in softboiled eggs as well. Enjoy your Ipoh trip and can't wait for more vlogs from the both of you. Sawatdeekrup! 🙏
O in kopi O has similarity to O in Oliang in Thai word.
@@kahkongang3013 You got that right. Oliang means black and ice
I've been lurking on your channel for a bit... your videos are really nicely put together.
What a beautiful couple! Really love 💕 your travel vlogs, they’re simply the best 👏👏👏
Thank you so much 🙏🏻😊
Great video guys! Another place in Malaysia to add to our list of places we want to visit :)
nice content & info for us!!
WOW! This part 4 series of Malaysia is great. I love the Chinese attire , you both always shot great content. Wish Flora could teach me Cantonese, and I wish Note could teach me Thai. Also I love it when Flora say "Bloopers". How is the weather in Malaysia?
I’m constantly shocked at how many people speak Cantonese in Malaysia .. reminds me of old Chinatown here in Vancouver while growing up and heading down on the weekends.. hearing the distant chatter is calming to the soul 🙏🙏
Chinese who came to Malaysia more than 100 years ago were mostly Cantonese & Hokkien, some Hakka & Teochew and other ethnics too. But these days the younger generations here rarely speak Cantonese & Hokkien anymore especially in big cities like KL & Penang. They mostly only speaks Mandarin, which is sad to see them not knowing their mother tongue.
@@Ruriko.Y thank you for the history lesson 🙏🙏
Ipoh have various dialects groups besides Cantonese like the Hokkiens, Hakkas, Hock Chews, Hainanese and others.
I am Hokkien, I grew up speaking my dialect mixed with English and bahasa. Watching TVB Cantonese shows and speaking with my classmates and vendors really helps my Cantonese.
Sadly, the younger generation mostly speaks Mandarin now, hardly uses Cantonese. 😕 I still use Cantonese to speak to the vendors. Older vendors loves when young people speak their dialect.
@@owlilian28 the world is big but closing in on one another and so unfortunately mother tongues are being lost and in some cases become extinct .. I had the opportunity as a youth to learn but being north americanized, I played more than I learned .. fortunately, I have the opportunity everyday to learn what I didn’t including various dialects so keep up the good work of placing smiles on the elders of the community 🙏🙏
Ipoh and the nearby towns are Cantonese speaking, with pockets of Hakka speakers in some areas. Likewise with Kuala Lumpur. However, towns in northern and southern part of peninsular Malaysia are Hokkien speaking.
Nice video
That cotton candy is AWESOME!!! Nice fun yet very informative video. Good job, Flora & Note! I've subscribed to your channel for over a year and I swear I'm addicted to it! Hope to bump into you guys one day in Thailand krub!
Yeahhhh you finally did bloopers again. I missed these 🤗
wow another very good informative video
i love your vibes; your videos; so well done; a standard by which i judge others .... thanks for quality filming; editing. The drone shots add to the overall professional but yet intimate feel of you as a couple. You guys are great.
Your comment means a lot to us! Thank you 😊🙏🏻 we’ll continue working hard on making great content!
Both of you are cute together! I feel good too to hear you guys speak Thai hahaha. Flora is so adorable. And this VDO made me have the new destination to visit in Malaysia. I’ve been in Malaysia many times but never been in Ipoh before and after watching this VDO, I shall include Ipoh in my list too hahaha. Thanks for producing nice vdo. Keep it up. 🤍
Hi again. Happy that both of you really enjoyed your food in Malaysia. Good that you had visited Kuala Lumpur, Genting Highlands and now in Ipoh. Famous and best foods here are in Kuala Lumpur, Genting Highlands with much variety, Ipoh, Melaka and Penang. These are must go places for food. Of course , also the beaches but those are situated at islands nearby. Enjoyed your videos.
Thanks! Another good one! Have a wonderflo pomelo!
Thanks so much!!
Love you guys! Both of you are always smiling. ☺️ Really refreshing to watch ❤ will go to ipoh this april and penang as well!
Ipoh is undoubtedly a very charming city ❤
Agree 😁
Thanks you for the amazing video Flora and Note... and have a lovely day!! 👍👍👍⚘️
Thanks for watching, Kitty!
My hometown Ipoh is just unique. Even though I have left Ipoh more than 40 years ago, I still miss it a lot. Thanks for the video.
Always enjoyed your all your videos. Thank you...
And last but not least, your channel is one of those where I've been practicing my English listening skill. Lots of love from Bangkok krub!
Great vlog on Ipoh. Been following most of your vlogs and it is great stuff and very candid indeed. Keep it up and if both of you happen to visit Langkawi island, do shout out ya. Would love to take and recommend you for some local food!! 🤩
Wow Malaysia looks super cool! I really enjoyed this video a lot 😊
We’re really loving it 😊 so much diversity and the people are really friendly!
Heya! Thanks for featuring Ipoh on your channel! Its really awesome. If ya'll ever come back to Ipoh hit me up! I'll be more than happy to bring you guys around to experience the food locals eat.
To what I know, Tambun, Ipoh pomelos are the best in the world!
Old Town White Coffee is one of my favorites! They originated in Ipoh, but now are in at least 5 countries with dozens of locations.
Selamat datang ke Ipoh 🤗
if you put the pomelo in fridge for 2 days ,and eat it cold after taking it out ,it will be sweeter and more refreshing.
love to see both of you... tq for visiting malaysia
Thank you 😊 we love Malaysia!
Very impressive 👌 like the mix of the old town and country vibe - Rainbow Slinky 😃 - Thanks F & N 👋👍🙏
Thank you for sharing your adventures in Ipoh! I especially love your visit to the pomelo farm!
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Binge watching your videos since I found em ! Love how genuine and earnest you both are 🙂 Fantastic couple and great videos. Love from India 🇮🇳
Ipoh is also known as "Pah Lo" among the Chinese Malaysians...a city well known for its cuisine and natural attractions like limestone hills and caves. Great that you both enjoyed the "kai si hor fun", white coffee with toasts, egg tart and the famous Tambun pomeloes. That candy floss was too beautiful to be "destroyed" 😂🤓 Don't forget to go for the famous "nga choi kai"( bean sprouts chicken ) salt baked chicken and a few well known pastries. I have a good laugh where Flora broke the stalk of that pomelo 😂🤣😂🤣
Now that pomelo will be bitter.. lol
@@oscartangoromeo003 🤓
Can you recommend a good Ipoh bakery for those famous pastries?
Now u have truly been to Malaysia!! & bloopers😱👍
Ipoh it a hometown of Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh..
our own hollywood superstar..
she is a daughter of one of Ipoh tycoon..
Loved Ipoh! Can’t wait to go back
Really enjoyed watching both of you in this episode with your wonderful sharing. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much ❤️🙏🏻
Very well recorded...and edited video. Happy to see this video.
Thanks so much 😊🙏🏻
Ipoh is always overlooked but the city has its own charms,plenty of good foods everywhere and super friendly people.
Awesome video,guys.
Tourists are not encouraged to go there because there is proper public transportation, no buses and taxis don't use meter.

I don't know if anyone notice, most of Malaysia speaks English, cantonese, Mandarin, and Malay. Talented for sure!
Such a fantastic vlog 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Flora & Note,
FYI, the reason Ipoh coffee is known Ipoh White Coffee not because of the milk but the technique of roasting the beans.
Ipoh white coffee is beige because of its distinctive roasting, brewing and stirring techniques. In Malaysia, “white coffee” just means a lighter colour of the roast. Compared to the traditional Malaysian black coffee roasted with margarine and sugar, the white coffee is roasted only with margarine gives it a lighter colour.
We have to best aromatic coffee. I grew up drinking it as a kid. Kopi O= Black coffee with sugar unless you say 'no sugar' , Kopi =Coffee, condensed milk n sugar.
Next visit you both should visit, Thean Chun and Khong Heng for the home made caramel custard, satay, chee cheong fun(local cheong fun) and blanched cuttlefish and water spinach served with special sauce. Enjoy Ipoh😁
Thanks so much for sharing! We learned something new and we’ll keep it in mind when we drink kopi next time 😊
Welcome to Malaysia and my hometown Ipoh, enjoy the food.
One more thing about ipoh is known as “Hipster city” because there is a lot of aesthetics cafe and restaurant.. and you guys gotta try Miker Pizza and Nasi ganja tho it’s really famous in ipoh
Flora & Note I can't tell you how much I love you guys. You both are my favourite YT couple. Been following you guys from when the pandemic started and now that you have visited Malaysia my home hope we have given you both memorable happy days too as you have given us. Your sharing have always been superb👍💞
Thank you for this lovely comment. Made our day 😊♥️
@@FloraandNote 💕
Enjoyed the vlog, it will help better prepare for our visit Oct-2023. Love the energy guys !
Awesome! Happy planning :)
Fun walk in Ipoh. MIchelle Yeoh (star) was born and grew up there. 2nd concubine lane looks fun. Did you eat a whole pamelo? Learned how to pick the right jabon/pomelo based on texture. Flora do you speak Hokkien too? Loved the breakfast. Like H.K.. Thank you enjoyed your vlog.
Don’t forget to visit the many beautiful caves like Gua Tempurong / Perak Cave Temple too while in Ipoh….
Cameron highlands is only an hour’s drive away from here too if you love tea and tea plantations.
😍🤩 sugar flower is so beautiful
How can you eat that cotton candy beauty?!?! It’s too pretty to eat…and then it’s melting it’s sticky gooey ness all over your hands-note to self-bring handiwipes lol. Love the three lanes hope you visited each one and maybe more video on it? But probably moving on lol. I’m always here for ALL of it! That pomelo looks delish, and I’m not a big fan of grapefruit-I have to put spoonfuls of sugar to defeat the bitterness. But that looks unique and I’d want to try it. Soup looked scrumptious too. Safer travels smooth rides joyful explorations 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
That food looks so good 👌
17:49 U broke it, u buy it. LOL 🤣. Kidding guys 😊 I've stayed in Ipoh for a few years, almost 20 years ago. Miss the town. Great place to retire 😊
thanks
Wow, Flora can speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Thai, amazing!
Not as fluent in Mandarin and Thai but I’m learning 😁
Ipoh is a food heaven too 😋 tonnes of nice foods and café.. enjoy your exploration 😁
It really is! We really love it there 😊
I love when u do bloopers .. keep them coming 😂😊❤
Thought we would bring back bloopers for old times’ sake 😁
Hi Flora & Note, welcome to Ipoh 😍 if you are still around, then you should try the famous curry noodles at Yee Fatt Dry 😀Curry Noodles 😁 better to go early before noon 11am. Sold out fast. Closed on every Monday. They have very thick curry sauce. Love your video
Ipoh almost the best and great city in Malaysia. Its well developed and all facilities great. Thats why Ipoh so famous as place the for retirement...😅
Developed? No proper buses and taxis, I won't call it a developed place.
Thanks for visiting my humble hometown Ipoh!
We loved it! So much delicious food 😋
Ipoh awesome town enjoy
Hi Flora & Note, welcome to my hometown, Ipoh..i’m sure you love the foods & fruits there 😋, cheers
Oh btw, there are 3-4 daily flights from SIN✈️IPH, Scoot Air & AirAsia, check it out…
We had some of the best Cantonese food here!
Well done guys! Being able to speak many local languages is a great added value to your channel. Speak to locals and get us those insights that we would otherwise lose. Some Caucasian Vloggers barely scratch the surface of what they see.
There are a couple of Ipoh restaurants in Vancouver, and I've been to Kuala Lumpur before. Now I have to visit the actual Ipoh when I go back to Malaysia
Looks like fun 555
Hi Flora and Note...i am so so glad that you guys actually drop by in ipoh...if you guys still in ipoh or dropping by anytime soon again, do let me know...let me bring you for an ultimate ipoh food tour..!!!!!
I visit Ipoh some 40 years ago. I. speak Cantonese, Chaozhou, Huayu, English, and also Laotian (on extension, Thai?). That came easy to me, as I was born in Chaozhou, lived in Vientiane, Laos in my childhood, then went over to Hong Kong to study and work, in between to Australia to get my tertiary education, and now retire in Singapore. Now, seeing and learning more about Malaysia.
Ipoh looks beautiful, I am traveling with my family from New Zealand to Malaysia in July I think I need to visit 🙂 love your work by the way ❤️
Thanks so much and yessss add Ipoh to your list!
Don’t forget to put Penang to the list too! 😊
Awesome video. That cotton candy looks delicious. Blooper!😂🤣😂
Thanks so much 😊
Gorgeous couple! Enjoy your stay!
Thanks so much 🥰🙏🏻
You guys are so cute together! Such a good vibe 👍
Thank you!! 😊
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed this video too! 😊
Ipoh is also Michelle Yeoh’s hometown, she is our town’s idol. Reminds me of great childhood memories seeing you walking through the alley and eating the food that I grew up with. I miss it so much 😢❤
I just started watching your TH-cam channel, and I love both of you. You are a very sweet and beautiful couple. I can see why people are welcoming to both of you. You're so positive and receptive to other cultures and food. ❤❤❤❤ I have been to Ipoh, lots of good delicious food and pretty spots.
Thank you so much!! 😊
Ipoh is great 👍👍
come to medan sumatra , same like Ipoh . many yummy food.
I still maintain you are the cutest couple on YT, great video, keep up the good work
Thanks so much! 😍😍😍
Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia and is almost equal to the size of Peninsular Malaysia. Famed for its dense rainforest and paradise beaches, it is no surprise that Sarawak is one of the top tourist spots in Malaysia. With so much to offer with its rich culture and historical heritages, there are many Sarawak attractions that you should check out. Sarawak capital is Kuching.
Keep it up and live it up guys
😊❤️
My home town ☺️
Welcome to my hometown,Ipoh!
Love seeing Asian couples in love and traveling together 😊😊😊
Ipoh my home - my BP always goes down and mood becomes infinitely better whenever I get home.
Oh my...I want that cotton candy 😋 it's almost too pretty to eat lol...
Much ❤️ Annie
Cheers to the bloopers comeback 🍻 cracked me up haha
