Flying To KUALA LUMPUR And Falling In Love With MALAYSIAN FOOD (+our experience flying with Scoot)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- We made it to MALAYSIA! We start our vlog in Australia and then test out the very low cost airline Scoot and fly to KUALA LUMPUR. We pretty much fell in love with Kuala Lumpur and Malaysian food almost instantly. In this video we go to Chow Kit market, try some street food and mangosteen and visit one of South-East Asia’s biggest Sikh temples. We then make our way to Kampung Baru, which is one of Kuala Lumpur’s oldest districts. It gives you a great insight into the old Malaysia and more quiet village life, as no new buildings are allowed to be built here. We then go to Wanjo, a very popular restaurant that serves Nasi Lemak, which quickly became one of our favourite dishes.In this video:

Do you have a favourite Nasi Lemak spot in Kuala Lumpur? Let us know in the comments! 😋
Try nasi lemak Village Park or Nasi Lemak Tanglin. Each has its own specialties
Nasi lemak Wan Jo in Kg Baru Kuala Lumpur
@@shahrizal791 Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
Try village park nasi lemak 😀
my best bro & my best sis thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your cousin viki 💙
Malaysia truly Asia. I have visited the country for nearly 4 times.I must say that I love the cultures, food and of course very nice people. Will be going there very soon and I hope to try these places both of you visited. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your time in Malaysia. Cheers!
Very nice glad you enjoyed our video and hope you have a great time in Malaysia! 😊
Tq bro JP Nicholls
now the people around the world should come to kuala lumpur Malaysia and enjoy the beautiful food & the scenery.
We'd definitely love to come back again 😁
Just a little recommendation
Malaysia is a diverse country so you need to try food from every race if possible. Since I'm Malay, I'd like to recommend you some of our fav local dishes.
Nasi Kerabu - nasi (rice), kerabu (salad). It has blue rice which comes from Butterfly Pea Flower, fish flakes, coconut flake, salad, fish cracker, budu (fermented anchovy sauce) and salted egg. You can also eat it with fried chicken (Restaurant Kak Som in Kampung Baru)
Nasi Dagang - nasi (rice), dagang (trade, bcs people back then used to eat this dish when they are sailing on ship to do trading business with other countries). It has rice mixed with glutinous rice and other spices, and fish curry (also in Restaurant Kak Som in Kampung Baru but if you really want the authentic version you might want to visit Terengganu in East Coast of Malaysia)
Laksa - Laksa is basically noodles served with fish based soup and different states have different takes in laksa. So you can try whichever version you want to according to each state in Malaysia.
Ramly burger - I know it's a bit shocking to see an Asian recommending a burger but trust me this burger is a lot more different then the burgers you're used to. Ramly is an originally a burger patty brand that is founded by Malay guy bcs back then there was no halal fast food in Malaysia. Now, Ramly has lots of other frozen products other than patty. You can find Ramly burger stall everywhere in Malaysia at night. Make sure it's Ramly branded patty. Each stall has different takes on how to make this burger, just so you know.
I hope you guys enjoy staying in Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thanks for the recommendations! We love the mix of cultures in Malaysia and especially the variety of food that comes with it 😊
Try some Nasi Minyak (my personal favourite) too, but it might be more difficult to find in Kuala Lumpur. Also YES, try Nasi Dagang for authentic Malay food.
There are dishes from Negeri Sembilan (not sure where you can get it in KL) that you should try...we call them yellow fivers cos there are yellow in colour, masak lemak daging salai (smoke beef) ikan salai (smoked fish), itik salai (smoked duck), smoked puyuh bird, all eat with rice.
Loved this one, now I really want to visit Kuala Lumpur! 😋😊
We can highly recommend it, we also want to come back soon!
It's fantastic to hear that the video has piqued your interest in visiting Kuala Lumpur! 😊 It's a vibrant city with so much to explore. If you ever make the trip, I'm sure you'll have an amazing time experiencing everything it has to offer!
Great video guys!! We are heading to Malaysian in a few mouths and this has made us very excited.
Thanks a lot guys, hope you have a great time! 😊
Let's host a meet up in Malaysia lol...but it's monsoon season wet..wet wet rainy...do take note rainy clothes and umbrellas
You all are always welcome here 🙂
Your careful kind and gentle observation of us makes the two of you very likeable. Have fun in our country and let us know if you need any help.
Thank you very much, we're glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂
Welcome to Malaysia. Quite a surprise to see tourist visiting Chow Kit wet market which is not a tourist attraction. This is truly off the beaten path. And it's good that you made a visit to the Sikh Gurdwara and the walking distance Kg Baru. How long will you be in Malaysia?
Thank you! 🙂 We spent two weeks in Malaysia, which is way too short, so we definitely want to come back!
I saw several vlogs on chow kit market. Latest dan x food
*Welcome back to Malaysia 🇲🇾Truly Asia Good foods, rainforest good beach & others many more, enjoyed, thanks sharing good videos*🇲🇾♥️💖💗💗🥰🇲🇾💖💗♥️💝 *Malaysian people likes to lepak2 at mamak restaurant drink Teh Tarik - you can joining me to or any Msian if you likes , is no problem for Malaysian 🇲🇾❤️💝💖🧡💝❤️🇲🇾*
I’m so glad you went to the Sikh Temple aka Gurdwara. And Zoe you pronounced Sikh correctly. Mostly people pronounce it as seekh 😂
Ur channel views gonna skyrocket from now on.good luck
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely! With content as engaging as this, it's bound to attract a lot of attention. Wishing you all the success with your channel!
You r brilliant. Not many tourists going for Kampung Baru, a village vibe within the city. Yes, it offers even a nice spot to eat at night. Some parts you can overview the klcc from here while having your dinner. Just hoping it will not rain.😁😁
Absolutely! Kampung Baru is a hidden gem indeed. It's great that you appreciate its unique charm and the opportunity it offers to experience a different side of Kuala Lumpur. Dining with a view of the KLCC must be an incredible experience! Let's keep our fingers crossed for clear skies on your next visit. 😊☀
Love the way you pronounce kampong baru as "kampong baghu", gives a French accent to it! 😁
Hi Zoe & Simon..welcome to Malaysia. I just discovered your channel & found your vlog on Kuala Lumpur (KL) was interesting & different from others..thus I immediately subscribed.
Not many youtubers does vlogging on inside of Chow Kit Wet Market & Kg Baru. Mostly they only show eating nasi lemak at Wanjo..but from your vlog only I know Wanjo also have healthy & fresh fruit juices.
I hope you enjoy your journey in KL & if you have enough time, I also do hope you could visit other destinations in whole Malaysia.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊 After KL we also visited Penang and Langkawi - videos coming soon 🙂

@@ZoeandSimon i suggest you to take a sky cab in langkawi..it was very high..and at penang you should try escape water slide...which is the longest water slide in the world..also in penang there have a lot delicious food..like nasi kandar..char koeteow etc..
Hey guys. I missed your video by 9 months. Glad you guys were here. And i wish you safe journey in the future..
We'll definitely be back in the future! 😊
HOW TO OPEN THE MANGOSTEEN FRUIT? the way to peel mangosteen is to press the thumb on the end of the fruit where there is a 'six star'. when pressed there, the fruit will split.
What a fantastic tip! Your description makes opening a mangosteen sound like a delightful experience. It's amazing how nature provides such clever designs for us to enjoy. Thanks for sharing this helpful insight! 🌟🍈

Scoot long haul is pretty good. 32” seat pitch. Scoot short haul is 28” and torture. One flight from Singapore to Bangkok, we got the last row (which does not recline) window and middle seats. The people in the row ahead of us reclined right away. At 6’3” tall, that was pretty excrutiating.
Oh yeah, last row is painful on any flight. Those seats should be way cheaper for the pain they cause 😂
Welcome to Malaysia! As an English as well as a Malaysian and South African, I'm very happy you came over to Malaysia and to try out the Nasi Lemak there. Nasi Lemak is quite common and I love the coconut flavours mixed with the rice. Another thing that's also quite common is Roti Canai but if you were to have Roti Canai for takeaway, I would suggest having a metal container for the sauce so it's not in plastic and so it's safer to eat.
In fact, Roti Canai is quite famous for a Malaysian breakfast. Good to see you come to Malaysia! 😁🇲🇾
Thank you for the welcome and the recommendation! We also had Roti Canai and we reall like it too 😊
Malaysian, English, s African such BS

Welcome to Malaysia Zoe and simon 🫶
Thank you very much! 😊
Welcome to beautiful Malaysia. Make an effort to talk to the locals and you'll be surprised how friendly they are. Have a great time and enjoy the food, the nice places and the culture. Stay safe
Thank you! We had a really great time and everyone was super friendly 🙂
That's so funny, I can't believe you have a full box of Weatbix in your suitcase!
Always prepared! 😁
FYI since durian is the king of fruit, mangosteen is the queen of fruit. The small fish is fried anchovies. If you want to try more Malaysian dishes under one roof you should go to ICC PUDU a huge food court. Maybe you can do a research on it to get an idea of what you want to eat. Have you tried indian banana curry leaf. Or go to PELITA restaurant near KLCC to try their nasi kandar, you'll love it or have roti canai for breakfast.
Thanks a lot for the infos and tips! 😊

Kampung Baru - Malay Cuisine
Brickfields - Malaysian Indian Cuisine

Welcome to Malaysia..next time come to peneng north Malaysia.. heaven of foods.. glad you happy here..done subscribe
Thank you! 😊 In the next video we're going to Penang 🙂
interesting etymology trivia : "Kampung" is the origin word for "Compound", which it holds in dual meaning, both as "village" and "enclosed area". it was borrowed by the British and absorbed into the English language. other words include "Lancar/Launch" and "Jinggang/Gingham".
That's very interesting, thanks for sharing! 🙂
....and Rocket and Amuk.....and
Very nice day bro

Ab
the corn dough you had called cekodok jagung. Kodok also means toad. The adverb "ce" means look like. Cekodok=look like a toad.

Plus also do try the Onde-Onde unique to Malaysian snacks.
Pi
@@azimmajid3906 ...what is "pi" ??...lol
Not only cook with coconut milk but pandan leaf as well
Nasi Lemak tastes best when you mix it all up. Chop up the egg, cucumber, ikan bilis(dried fish with peanuts), chicken or beef and mix it all into the rice with the sambal. 😋
Co
Kalau x biasa makan jangan campur sekaligus… ikan bilis tu anchovies
