Please dont leave Malaysia.. Apply for Malaysia as my second home visa.. Each time watching your new video.. From both of you.. I kind of love you guys more and more.. Hope i can meet both of you one day.. And would like to have a wefie with u guys.
My father is from Pahang but I had never heard of Asam Rong till now. When we were kids we used rubber seeds as projectiles in our 'war games' and as pieces for this traditional game called Congkak, very similar to Mancala as the Filipinos call it. No one ever told us they could be turned into an asam dish. In fact i remember being told the meaty part of the seeds were poisonous! Learnt something new again from Steve n Ivana...
@Lokman Hakim What can I say we were voilent kids back then haha Those buah getah are very pretty with the batek-like design on their outer shell. Too bad it's hard to find them nowadays I bet many kids nowadays have zero idea about buah getah
@Lokman Hakim Dont feel sad.Find a village where you can do all those things. In fact i have read there are homestays that offer these in their package.Kinda like what steve n ivana were doing in Kelantan. You wont live this village life,but you get to experience all those wonderful things you mentioned. All the best.
Wow! Steve kept on surprising me. I can't believe that you actually like ikan patin masak tempoyak. Even I don't really eat that much of tempoyak. Both of you were eating with your hands and it did not look awkward. I am impressed.
I envy you @JetLag Warriors Steve n Ivana. My parents used to tapped rubber trees, but I’d never been taught how to tap rubber trees.. well done Steve/Saiful!
Woww..Saiful the rubber tapper😉.. reminds me of my childhood when i used to help my late grandpa to tapp rubber back in melaka. Love ur video guys, kipidap and stay safe.😃
Steve and Ivana, when you back to Canada, you can start teach in the school, tell others how to survive in the jungle with all the nature resources. Good try! I like the way you both try and appreciate the local foods.thank you!
We Malaysian and South East Asia countries still take cooking seriously. Using all herbs grown locally to add into the food as flavours and natural colours. It is healthy food everywhere you eat with local eateries here in Malaysia. Something unique and flavourful to the taste buds. Almost no msg used. Diversity and multiracial adds into preparing the dish. Lucky you ...what a blessed for staying longer during this pendamic...got to taste and experience different kind of food prepared by local Malaysian...what a blessed journey you guys are having here in this blessed country....
During MCO, they made Ramly burger, cook rendang, char kuey teow, laksa etc During RMCO, they cook onde-onde, skillfully open a durian, cook fish in Pahang, cook lemang in Kelantan etc Stop making us Malaysians look bad Chef and Travel host Steve and Ivana!! You know most of us tak pandai (do not know) how to do all that. Haha. Joke aside, another superb video
You guys are amazing,, not only experiencing local food but cooking also, far out, ten stars for both of you, and we get to enjoy this amazing ride with u, yeah you had me at durian, can't wait for the video
Good first try of the three Pahang dishes ... patin tempoyak, gulai asam rong and sambal hitam. Wow! Make my mouth water ... You should also try daging opor (beef in black sauce) and puding raja (a very sweet royal pudding). Enjoy Pahang!
JetLag Warriors these should be available easily in Pahang. You can ask your homestay owner about the daging opor. Am sure Ivana can replicate the recipe briliantly 😍. For puding raja, the best will be in Pekan.
i can eat the black sambal only with 3 plate of rice . its so good . keep it up both of you . Pahang is paradise of food . enjoy . best of luck to both of u 👍👍👍
You guys are the best travel ambassadors for Malaysia. Love your attitude and open-ness to new things. No need to go back. Just stay here, more than welcome. Look up Rhys Williams, brit living locally. He has good experience in local food. Speaks good Malay.
@@JetLagWarriors Yes, I have, except for asam rong. I'm living in Kuantan after leaving KL in 2014. My late mom is from Kuantan n my late grandma is from Terengganu.
I have tried asam rom once before. Never imagined that it could be eaten. Not really into it but worth to try once you're in Pahang! Patin tempoyak is absolutely my fav!
Amazed that Steve is so opened to trying fish even though he had phobia of fishy taste before. Keep trying and you'll discover new dishes and surprises that seafood can be delicious if handled and cooked correctly. 👍👏
Location and size of fish bones differs from fish to fish so when trying different types of fishes, it's good to eat with your hands and carefully feel with fingers and in the mouth before finally swallowing. Some fishes have big bones while others might have sharp tiny bones that is dangerous too.. Fish belly area has more fatty oily flesh that is supposedly very rich in omega..esp patin, salmon and catfish . Likely Steve got the part of the fish with more thin sharp bones .. It's good to include fish in diet and take time to eat carefully and enjoy the fish. Lucky if you get to eat fish that is fresh and from good source...if unlucky we might be served with less fresh, or powdery texture flesh , or hardened flesh or smelly or smelly at the belly parts or injected with chemicals to preserve the fish longer ..some outlets too do not clean the fishes well so there would be fish scale present in the dish and spoil the enjoyment of the fish dishes.. Cooked fish dishes is always best enjoyed warm or hot..unless we want enjoy sashimi
U guys really hit the spot at posting during dinner hours to make sure we're not starving when watching you guys do these food vlogs. I always save your videos for when Im about to eat so I can pretend to eat with you guys 😂😂😂
Both of you are so lucky... Tapping rubber tree. Such a unique experience. Seldom foreigner has that opportunity. And, get the taste masakan kampung (traditional delicacies). What an exciting and wonderful Malaysian travel experience.
hi steve & ivana.. kudos to u guys on the 'asam rong' vlog coverage.. its a really a rare malay(pahang) heritage treasure..not to be found/serve in the urban areas & other states eateries.. most of the rural country side ('kampung2') all across the states in malaysia has their own special heritage dishes/delicacies, .. this is what local malay labels as 'masakan kampung'.. especially on those cooked using rare or uncommon plant & animal sources.. malays being the original inhabitants of malaysia have a vast knowledge & experience in using local consumable nature resource for cooking/eating.. together with the surviving hardship experience endured during japanese occupation days, where they have to consume other unpopular/uncommon alternative food source. . i personally & politely would like to suggest to u guys, if u have the time & resources, to write a book version of the compiled 'kampung' dishes. it would be an honour to us malaysian, malays especially (no pressure anyway).. and who knows, maybe u can have it publish by local malay book publisher.. and in return, generates some income for you... anyway, it is just a sincere suggestion from me.. not sure if u guys have this following info on asam rong/rom.. hope u dont mind write few additional info down.. - the word 'rong' or 'rom is actually comes from malay word 'isirong' which refer to the nectar inside the rubber seed, while term 'asam' comes the malay term of preparation/fermenting process.. hence 'asam rong/rom'.. - actually, at first, the malays in pahang rural 'kampung' used 'buah perah' ('perah' fruit) to make the ngredient-like isirong.. but due to its rarity (being found only in the jungles)..

Ivana and steve watch you two eat Pahang food make me cry thats all my favorite food,,i happy you two like asam Rom its not easy to make it,,you two are Local now Nice steve and Ivana,,i wish i can see you two,,👍👍♥️♥️
JetLag Warriors 😢😢😢no i work at Australia now i miss Malaysia food especially Pahang food because i from Pahang (Raub),,i like you n Ivana you are Nice people ♥️♥️♥️
😋😋🤤🤤👍👍. Finally able to saw you guys trying Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak dish. Now awaiting Greg and Jumi turn. 😃 Great to saw Chef Ivana cooking again. 😃
i like this type of video. you go travel be friends wit the local. go to farm . find the ingredients and cook its yourself and do some adventure. learn new things. love it!!!🙏🏻❤️
Wow...you tried authentic Pahang food! Patin Tempoyak & Sambal Hitam is the food signature of Pahang..both are my favourites! But i never try Asam Rong (Rubber Seeds powder i think...) very rare to find in my hometown,Kelantan... Notes: Steve... Nice shirt will yaaa...😆
Patin tempoyak is exclusive signature dish of Pahang state. The best taste of Patin u can have if the patin from sungai pahang especially around temerloh because the patin that caught from sungai pahang have that distinctive taste ( tastier ) that u can never find in another places.
I love ikan patin.. not many can eat Patin since its fresh water fish. Its good cooked in kuah tempoyak and grilled eat with air asam ... yums The belimbing/starfruit is the one that make the fish less fishy
Patin tempoyak is one of Pahang’s specialty , tempoyak is a Malay condiment made from fermented durian and black sambal is originated from Pahang too...it’s recommended whenever you go to Pahang 👍🏻 I once tried the best Patin tempoyak restaurant in KL (the owner is from Pahang) the patin is quite expensive called patin buah it could be around RM70-RM120 per serve depending on the size of the fish. We were very shocked of the price but after tasting it was worth paid. Happy to know that you both could adapt and enjoy the Malaysian food 😉 have a great day.
Patin buah is simply a wild patin fish at the river compare to a normal patin are grow in a cage at the river. We call it patin sangkar. Some goes to ayam kampung, it’s a little bit expensive compare to the city chicken. That’s why patin buah are expensive.
There are two tipe of seed to make the asam rom..one from the jungle and the seed from rubbertaper tree....its my feveret food....that is the true pahang dish from our encester....thanks for enjoy it....tempoyak..asam rom..and sambal hitam...main food of pahang state...
If you guys still in Pahang ,can try visit Lembing. There's a wonderful Rainbow Waterfall there+ epic paranoma view from the hill there . There's also a Tin mining museum during weekend which i'm not sure still opened or not .
@@JetLagWarriors Try to go there during Saturday or Sunday. There will be more people and more stalls opened during these time. I learnt my lesson hard way when my friends and I went there during Thursday. The tomatoes fried noodle and fried fish were very delicious . You can refer to this video about Rainbow Waterfall : th-cam.com/video/F6zwGnlOkSA/w-d-xo.html
if you are coming to pekan..you must stop at Ubai..the shop Nasi Dagang Ubai..eat the nasi dagang there and you must try the Opor Daging... opor is the staple of Pekan..bcoz eat is only can be eaten only if there is a wedding..but nowadays you can get it at any restaurant but not all restaurant have it
Its RM2. 30 per kg. of lump rubber. Rubber prices reached RM7/kg and getting lower since then. Usually locals tap 300 trees in two hours. Nice try tapping a young 4 years old rubber tree.👍👍
Awesome video as always! The Black Sambal and Asam Rom you cooked were nicely done! Face reactions at 11:17 , 13:38 and 17:55 are epic especially I saw it live!
Guys, now that the travelling restriction within the country has been relaxed I highly recommend that you visit Kuching. Since both of you are foodies, Sarawak laksa and Kolok mee will make you cry..
Sambal hitam is another Pahang signature tasty dish. The main ingredient that u called as belimbing is actually a a pstar fruit. It require unripened or young belimbing to make sambal hitam.
My mom doesn't like the oil from the fish so she roasted the fish first before put inside the tempoyak soup. But I like the oil from the fish, kinda like a jelly.
@JetLag Warriors you have to try Patin Tempoyak from Selera Patin Bangau at temerloh, pahang. They served the best patin tempoyak in town! But make sure you book it earlier because soo many ppl go there ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Asam Rom is fermented rubber seeds, tht you cn easily find in Pahang. Ivana knows how to use her hand when eating rice but Steve is a bit awkward with his hand. You gotta use to it Steve when eating wlith your hands.
we are in pahang .... usually cook tempoyak paste with catfish ..... sometimes cook with chicken ... and various other types of fish according to their own taste and suitability with the taste of tempoyak .... and I also like asam rong also ..... very strange (for those who first saw it) but delicious ... both of those foods are traditional food of the pahang people ....
oh! catfish...ikan keli? I think Ivana would like that. And with chicken? Steve would love it!! And yes, asam rom is good but the taste is kind of strange!
Many Malaysian know of patin tempoyak. But have you heard of asam rom?🤷🏻♀️ It’s actually a famous food in Pahang especially in Jerantut, Kuala Lipis, and Raub! Do try it when you visit Pahang, and let us know what you think!🙌

@A A.R for real? 😢 Awwman... I missing alot then.. feelsbadman since mco I haven't travel to temerloh. Dang it
My father is from Pahang but I had never heard of Asam Rong till now.
When we were kids we used rubber seeds as projectiles in our 'war games' and as pieces for this traditional game called Congkak, very similar to Mancala as the Filipinos call it.
No one ever told us they could be turned into an asam dish.
In fact i remember being told the meaty part of the seeds were poisonous!
Learnt something new again from Steve n Ivana...
whoah! Haha please try the dish when you come to Pahang! It’s specially popular around Jerantut, K Lipis, and Raub
The poisonous "thing" is so the kids don't swallow the seed 😂
@Lokman Hakim
What can I say we were voilent kids back then haha
Those buah getah are very pretty with the batek-like design on their outer shell.
Too bad it's hard to find them nowadays
I bet many kids nowadays have zero idea about buah getah
@@user-zc2hz3yj2k
Well it worked for us 😊
@Lokman Hakim
Dont feel sad.Find a village where you can do all those things.
In fact i have read there are homestays that offer these in their package.Kinda like what steve n ivana were doing in Kelantan.
You wont live this village life,but you get to experience all those wonderful things you mentioned.
All the best.
It's a little odd and awesome at the same time that I'm learning Malaysian food culture from these lovely foreigners!
haha glad to hear!
Steve is loving Asam Rong. The authentic Pahang dish. My mouth watering right now.
yummy!!😁
Steve is a natural to open durians... And tap rubber trees!!
Hahaha🙌💪
I am Malaysian living in Bali and I am filled with envious with the both of u.. i missed Malaysian food...
Wow! Steve kept on surprising me. I can't believe that you actually like ikan patin masak tempoyak. Even I don't really eat that much of tempoyak. Both of you were eating with your hands and it did not look awkward. I am impressed.
😂😂😂thank you
Wow..that rubber tree. Thats how you do it. Iv never tried it or seen people doing in person. Only on tv. Awesome Steve. God job.
Haha yes, it was interesting to see
I envy you @JetLag Warriors Steve n Ivana. My parents used to tapped rubber trees, but I’d never been taught how to tap rubber trees.. well done Steve/Saiful!

And thank you!
Great to see you cooking again Ivana! Steve you are brave trying all these different dishes. Snif tests just like your brother 😉.
Haha Malaysia makes us a chef and a fish eater!
Wow that’s how they extract the rubber from the trees 😃

To supply the world with gloves, tyres, rubber bands aaaaand... condoms.

So delicious. My favourite food when go to Pahang.
Wow Steve....proud of u...ur eating with hand skill has been upgraded...nice job dude...

hi steve & ivana.. kudos to u guys on the 'asam rong' vlog coverage.. its a really a rare malay(pahang) heritage treasure..not to be found/serve in the urban areas & other states eateries.. most of the rural country side ('kampung2') all across the states in malaysia has their own special heritage dishes/delicacies, .. this is what local malay labels as 'masakan kampung'.. especially on those cooked using rare or uncommon plant & animal sources.. malays being the original inhabitants of malaysia have a vast knowledge & experience in using local consumable nature resource for cooking/eating.. together with the surviving hardship experience endured during japanese occupation days, where they have to consume other unpopular/uncommon alternative food source. . i personally & politely would like to suggest to u guys, if u have the time & resources, to write a book version of the compiled 'kampung' dishes. it would be an honour to us malaysian, malays especially (no pressure anyway).. and who knows, maybe u can have it publish by local malay book publisher.. and in return,
generates some income for you... anyway, it is just a sincere suggestion from me..
not sure if u guys have this following info on asam rong/rom.. hope u dont mind write few additional info down..
- the word 'rong' or 'rom is actually comes from malay word 'isirong' which refer to the nectar inside the rubber seed, while term 'asam' comes the malay term of preparation/fermenting process.. hence 'asam rong/rom'..
- actually, at first, the malays in pahang rural 'kampung' used 'buah perah' ('perah' fruit) to make the ngredient-like isirong.. but due to its rarity (being found only in the jungles).. 'biji getah' (rubber seed) was use as substitution instead.. since lots of rubber tree being planted in those pahang kampung areas (surplus availability).. + the creativeness of malays in cooking & fermenting/pickling.. asam rong is use in way as they would use tempoyak, belacan(shrimp paate), budu particularly in cooking 'gulai' (gravy base dishes) or sambal (sauces).. either as a flavour enhancer or signature..
- local ape-like monkeys like to eat the rubber seed as well..
- regarding the nutrient aspect of rubber seed, there is a research done in local university.. they have found that it is high in ALA (plant base) omega 3 fatty acid & minerals.. (btw... i notice someone mentioned in other reply (jokingly or seriously..??) , that it contains cynide.. i am not sure abt this though.. would be better/safe to further check on this..
- it is usually use in cooking scaleless fresh water fish dishes. this is because apart from giving its unique taste, the rubberish-bitter-savoury isirong flavour (malay term - 'kelat') would also get rid (or hide??) the extreme fishy smell/flavour (malay term - 'hanyir') that normally scaleless fresh water fish has..
- uncooked asam rong will last months in proper storge (even years, if stored in an air tight container)..
- just as an extra additional side info, there is a local sarawak malay folklore regarding ikan patin.. it is said that a curse has been cast to some specific malay family group (across all its linage) .. it is a bit lengthy though.. if u are intrested in malay folklore.. u can read it through the following link... quite interesting i would say..

on a separate note.. if u guys still in pahang.. i would suggest to u guys to visit 'Chini' lake.. it is gazetted as UNESCO biosphere reserve.. not only that, there is also few folklore tale as well as modern day witnesses (both locals & foreigners) about dragon which inhabits the lake (something like Scotland's Loch).. it was reported in local newspaper before, that through research done, the lake & its surroundings was a historical ancient city site.. the hill around the lake is said to have come from some sort of pyramid.. an account from a foreigner witness have also said that there is some sort of railing fences & a gate that he had found underneath the lake.. (on a personal note, i discourage u to swim at the lake.. just to be safe)... u guys can google this lake for info.. they have it in english..
take care, stay safe, happy adventure..

@@JetLagWarriors restoran gobang maju patin temerloh at South Rampai Business Park back in KL
That dish is better served with hill paddy (padi huma) rather than normal paddy field rice. Yoww, you two are Lumberjack superbs.
Wow...you tried authentic Pahang food! Patin Tempoyak & Sambal Hitam is the food signature of Pahang..both are my favourites! But i never try Asam Rong (Rubber Seeds powder i think...) very rare to find in my hometown,Kelantan...
Notes: Steve... Nice shirt will yaaa...😆
oh try asam rom next time you come to Pahang!
And thanks for the t-shirt!😁
Patin tempoyak is exclusive signature dish of Pahang state. The best taste of Patin u can have if the patin from sungai pahang especially around temerloh because the patin that caught from sungai pahang have that distinctive taste ( tastier ) that u can never find in another places.
The fern leaves is common in my kampong. Can stir- fry with sambal too.
oh it’s so good. We can eat it everyday
Teliur terus tgok sek ni makan.sy asal kelatan tp membesar di temerloh.mmg sedapla patin tempoyok,kene plok smbal itam
Steve has evolve to Saiful maybe..hehe..it is fun to see u eating fish now...welcome to more fish n seafood dishes in malaysia 😀😀
Haha Saiful is the other side of Steve that likes fish
I love ikan patin.. not many can eat Patin since its fresh water fish. Its good cooked in kuah tempoyak and grilled eat with air asam ... yums
The belimbing/starfruit is the one that make the fish less fishy
we like patin so far
My favourite, black sambal👍👍👍
good but not for Steve😂
Patin tempoyak is one of Pahang’s specialty , tempoyak is a Malay condiment made from fermented durian and black sambal is originated from Pahang too...it’s recommended whenever you go to Pahang 👍🏻 I once tried the best Patin tempoyak restaurant in KL (the owner is from Pahang) the patin is quite expensive called patin buah it could be around RM70-RM120 per serve depending on the size of the fish. We were very shocked of the price but after tasting it was worth paid. Happy to know that you both could adapt and enjoy the Malaysian food 😉 have a great day.
wow that is quite expensive but must be so delicious! Yum!
Patin buah is simply a wild patin fish at the river compare to a normal patin are grow in a cage at the river. We call it patin sangkar. Some goes to ayam kampung, it’s a little bit expensive compare to the city chicken. That’s why patin buah are expensive.
U did a pretty good job on rubber tapping there...clean cut.
There are two tipe of seed to make the asam rom..one from the jungle and the seed from rubbertaper tree....its my feveret food....that is the true pahang dish from our encester....thanks for enjoy it....tempoyak..asam rom..and sambal hitam...main food of pahang state...
Black Sambal + Rice = Superb!
yummm!
Great job Ivana! The dishes you cooked I haven't try before. Looked goood!
If you guys still in Pahang ,can try visit Lembing. There's a wonderful Rainbow Waterfall there+ epic paranoma view from the hill there . There's also a Tin mining museum during weekend which i'm not sure still opened or not .
sounds good! Thanks
@@JetLagWarriors Try to go there during Saturday or Sunday. There will be more people and more stalls opened during these time. I learnt my lesson hard way when my friends and I went there during Thursday. The tomatoes fried noodle and fried fish were very delicious . You can refer to this video about Rainbow Waterfall : th-cam.com/video/F6zwGnlOkSA/w-d-xo.html
Woww, you guys used kesing leave. It is also called daun pepijat, which is bed bugs because its smell us similar to bed bugs.
really?🙀
if you are coming to pekan..you must stop at Ubai..the shop Nasi Dagang Ubai..eat the nasi dagang there and you must try the Opor Daging... opor is the staple of Pekan..bcoz eat is only can be eaten only if there is a wedding..but nowadays you can get it at any restaurant but not all restaurant have it
opor sounds amazing!
Its RM2. 30 per kg. of lump rubber. Rubber prices reached RM7/kg and getting lower since then.
Usually locals tap 300 trees in two hours.
Nice try tapping a young 4 years old rubber tree.👍👍
Chef Sharifah Ivana, u r a cooking pro!! 😎
thank you😊
Awesome video as always! The Black Sambal and Asam Rom you cooked were nicely done! Face reactions at 11:17 , 13:38 and 17:55 are epic especially I saw it live!
Thank you so much! We miss you already!
Guys, now that the travelling restriction within the country has been relaxed I highly recommend that you visit Kuching. Since both of you are foodies, Sarawak laksa and Kolok mee will make you cry..
Ah I thought foreigners can not enter Sarawak??
@@JetLagWarriors yup, but you are already here ever since the MCO so no problem bud
She looks like she just randomly dumped some stuff into the pot. Haha. What a great cook.
Lol!😂😂😂
Sambal hitam is another Pahang signature tasty dish. The main ingredient that u called as belimbing is actually a a pstar fruit. It require unripened or young belimbing to make sambal hitam.
My mom doesn't like the oil from the fish so she roasted the fish first before put inside the tempoyak soup. But I like the oil from the fish, kinda like a jelly.
oh yes! Ivana likes it!!
@JetLag Warriors you have to try Patin Tempoyak from Selera Patin Bangau at temerloh, pahang. They served the best patin tempoyak in town! But make sure you book it earlier because soo many ppl go there ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow, how many stars are there??? More than 5!😲
Asam Rom is fermented rubber seeds, tht you cn easily find in Pahang. Ivana knows how to use her hand when eating rice but Steve is a bit awkward with his hand. You gotta use to it Steve when eating wlith your hands.
need more practice🙌😆
we are in pahang .... usually cook tempoyak paste with catfish ..... sometimes cook with chicken ... and various other types of fish according to their own taste and suitability with the taste of tempoyak .... and I also like asam rong also ..... very strange (for those who first saw it) but delicious ... both of those foods are traditional food of the pahang people ....
oh! catfish...ikan keli? I think Ivana would like that. And with chicken? Steve would love it!!
And yes, asam rom is good but the taste is kind of strange!
@@JetLagWarriors actually not ikan keli but ikan patin........ mispronunciation 🤣🤣🤣🤣.....
Next time try to eat ikan patin tempoyak with combined soya sauce+lemon+chillies 😆😆
sounds good!
Sambal hitam, yum yum... Haven't tried Asam rom.. In KL patin tempoyak is so expensive... Especially when the patin is all the way from Temerloh...
