- The residents of Kampung Kesuapan on Gaya Island come from generations of sea gypsies from Southern Philippines, known as the Bajau. Home cooks Zaiton and Jalinah show us their traditional cuisine - creamy pufferfish stew, umami sea urchin rice and tender tapioca cakes. These are the bastions of proud migrant cuisine going strong in a water village that is shunned by the Kota Kinabalu mainland.

I live in mainland Kota Kinabalu and it’s true about the misconception that we have about the people in Pulau Gaya. Because we never actually go there and see for ourselves. But looking at this, they are really nice people, maybe even better than people in the town. Respect ✊
Ikr.. I just hope malaysia govt esp kerajaan negeri will give more attention to this island and develop it for tourism... KK has good reputation for tourism..
@@Klaharnchaiya lol tourism would bring destruction and greed. They would reclaim the lands these people live. Yes there is a prosperity but only in the hands of the capitalist and rich not with the locals.
We nees to revamp their plumbing and trash collection system first.
@@Klaharnchaiya half the ppl who lived there is the holder of "project ic" here in sabah. Fake ic u know what i mean, no document.
bukan pelancongan yg masyarakat minta, tetapi keperluan hidup sprt elektrik dan air bersih, juga pendidikan & pekerjaan, disamping masyarakat kita WAJIB menjaga kebersihan alam sekitar lagi2 waktupandemik COVID19 sekarang ini
Surprising to see an island situated at the edge of the map is supplied with clean water by the Malaysian government. Another slum in Indonesia is still struggling with their water supply. Well done Malaysia!
AGREE. THEY LOOK LIKE SELF-RESPECTING VILLAGERS WITH THEIR OWN CHALLENGES, BUT THEY DIDN’T LEAVE THEIR VILLAGE IN SLUM CONDITIONS.
If someone agreed to pay a bit more for the water instead of the price from 1960s Malaysia might have more money to spend on supplying water infrastructure.
flyinghigh2000 SEMOGA DIPERMUDAHKAN.
It's not slum, it's the villagers on the island.
Halia itu apa ? Cili padi itu apa ?
A perfect Netflix level content. Kudos to the production team.
Lol why you compare everything to Netflix
Anyway.. Im glad CNA made documentary about this.. Bcus here in kota kinabalu, sabah, malaysia... Many ppl still hav negative stereotypes about people from Gaya Island ..
Wow.. Netflix is never the standard.
really dude, netflix....
Yeah why does everyone always compare content to Netflix??? Especially, when in my opinion, everything on Netflix these days is straight garbage??? Their “documentaries” are all just cheap ass “reality” shows. I’ve cancelled my subscription since the best documentaries out there are free on TH-cam!!! These, DW Documentary , Free High Quality Docs...
That woman cooking pufferfish makes Japanese chefs look like dramatic babies.
same thoughts😁 must have license in japan to cook this fugu..and told that liver needs to throw too but the lady cook the liver...
There's a lot of types of puffer fish a couple for poisonous than others but it's true this lady is able to retain more yummy parts
There are many types of fugu..the ones in japan used in sashimi are the most poisonous ones...
Some species of puffer fish is not as poisonous as other puffer fish. Cooking will also destroy some of the poison.
Ignorante de bobo
That kitchen light setup is lit
Foreign comedy is so terrible 🤣
Did you hear what he said? We have everything we need here wow that is a humble human being rite there an coming from there. Wonderful people
Pufferfish, Sea urchin, sea 'caviar' this is definitely a slumfood "millionaire"
4:49 Their kitchen so neat and clean despite the outer environment. “Don’t judge a book by its cover”
You are right, try to watch SLUM FOOD MILLIONAIRE INDIA.. 😂
@@sondavid5754 That was an urban slum and was one of the poorest part in India. This place seems more like a small village than a slum. Their living conditions are better so obviously they can be more hygenic comparatively.
Not slumfoods at all.
@@shibourne2000 Yes I totally agree with you. This isn't slum. This is more like a small provincial sea village. All the other part of this series featured real urban slums especially the Slumfood Bangkok, Mumbai and Manila . The description even said that the people featured aren't really Malaysians but an ethnic group from the Philippines. Not Slumfood at all and not authentic Malaysian.
Puffer fish delicacy has always been popularized by the Japanese in a dramatic way. Never knew that we in Malaysia have such a delicacy among the Sabahans & she was so cool in handling the fish. Good documentary.
Even in Sarawak, puffer fish is everyday food for some. Even in cities.
Yess ikan buntal is very famous dish in sabah among the bajau ethnic.
If CNA did not highlight this delicacy which is popular in Sabah & Sarawak, many would still think it’s a delicacy popularised by the Japanese.
Fugu(pufferfish) that showed in japan documentaries is more poisonous than the pufferfish in KK. Do your research sometimes
@@yinchuun yes.. The flesh is so sweet but you must know how to handle the toxic gut and bile.. The liver is actually nice... How do i wish its processed meat is readily available in the market..
this is getting addicting. I really love how this documented very well, it's like watching an artwork at the sametime. u let the people tell the story by themselves, by their own perspective, how they see their own community and life. deserve more subscriber and viewers. why did I just found out about this today.
Same!!! I even watch every episode again.
Bajau are real gangstas when it comes to seafood... handled them fishes like a boss....
An award winning documentary. From mumbai to sea sides. Love the series
As a Sabahan myself I'm quite shameful for having that exact thought about people in Pulau Gaya. I've never tried their food before except for the latok.
Yes. I agree with you
Latok is pretty much everywhere in the Philippines though not considered as a staple food but some kind of food you occasionally eat. Here in Luzon, we call it "Lato", and you can actually eat it right as you lifted it out of the ocean if you're not icky with sand and all the stuff that goes in there lol. Very delicious with vinegar. Also, I believe some of the recipes and cooking techniques shown here originated from the Austronesians. Most of the rice cooking techniques and recipes in the whole of Asia are associated to the Austronesians after all. Specifically, her method of steaming is similar to the method of cooking "Puto (from the term Putu) Bumbong", and that is very similar to foods in other countries where the Austronesians spread out their genes like Indonesia, Malaysia, etc. It's really interesting since you can pretty much see the migration patterns by analyzing food. Incidentally, Tapioca is spread around in Asia by the Portuguese and Spanish. That's why you will see its wide use in the Philippines because the Philippines was colonized for 300 years.
It's nice to hear from a chef who respects, understands and has an understanding for different ways of life and food. most of the other chefs on the other episodes have a real superiority complex. 🤣
Exactly
Selamat Menyambut Bulan Kemerdekaan Tanah Melayu dan Negeri Sabah🇲🇾❤️🥰
This people are so rich! They can have expensive delicacy as a daily foods! 😋
I understand small portions of their language. Here in Philippines whenever we see a Bajao we know he's a good swimmer.
@Notre Aira Its ok. Everyone is friend for me. I dont want conflict.
@Notre Aira in the end sabah people will choose the country they want and feel at home. I don't mind malaysian want sabah to be part of their country. Malaysia is better than ph tbh. I'm filipino btw 🤗
they speak Malay in Sabahan dialect
@@oshkoshbgood yeah we know
We have Bajou (or Bajo ) people too in Indonesia, usually having floating house in a shore. I always thought they are from Sulawesi. Like the same natural fisherman as Bugis.
IT’S NOT A SLUM LA. THEY ARE VILLAGERS WITH A RESPECTABLE WAY OF LIFE. GOOD JOB, MALAYSIA.
No doubt. Their food look more expensive and elegant.
mamoth mew ALSO FRESH AND WHOLESOME.
Sup with your capslock?
Fauzan Adhim hes in severe pain leave him
Exactly. Kampung or Village are not slump. Borneo Sarawak don't have slump if am not mistaken.
What make me shock was their house more clean and colourful not like other house in other slum documentary.
And ofcourse their food look expensive and apetizing.
Malaysia is so blessed, we can see fishes even in the ditch and canals, then we can catch fish with only fishing rod by the sea side.
I'm a Filipino and I love Kota Kinabalu! Love the people. Love the beaches. Wish I had the opportunity to try the food they have in the videos.
She is right when she says the full moon gives more meat inside the sea urchin. That's when they're spawning! The "meat" are actually the gonads (sex organs) of the urchin.
*cough
Should I laugh or should I say it's impressive
@@luisemel9182 both.
Been binge watching slum food today. I love this series. So many emotions. Sad happy proud all of it. All the people in all the slums i watched today always happy. And so motivated for their life. I love this series.
3:23 "mati ni kena gigit😂 bukan alang2 ni"🤣 he literally, say you gonna die if you get bitten (sting), by the pufferfish and it's not a joke
I'm Kelantanese and have been to KK once in my life. Tried putu and latok, fell in love with it. I miss those the most. I wish I could try the puffer fish stew accompanied with putu. Sedapnyaaaaa
I grew up in tanjung aru a few miles from this place my stepfather was a fisherman n each time be caught this fish or buntal he tossed them away
she really tamed that sea urchin like that... LOL WITH HER BARE HANDS
im so proud of Sabah women 🤟🏼❤️
I’m from Kuala Lumpur and always frequented Sabah (way before COVID), they’re lovely people and these villagers in Gaya are downright sincere and kind people! Please stop your prejudice, we are all humans.
Thank u for opening my eyes and seeing what a beautiful and interesting life these people that live across me experience. The misconceptions we mainland people have are true. I have a new perception on these people.
I highly respect this community...u know they can dive REALLY WELL without scuba gears and even go beyond depth with one breath. As Dive Instructor, I salute them divers. Risking their life for daily foods which is not easy to get most of the time. Regarding the garbage floating on the sea. People need to learn that they were carried by sea current not by those who lived on the island. Who want polluted water anyway? They also prefer clean water and sometimes they need to transport clean water from the city and bring back to their home.
Love how the authorities works. Water supply, free TV cable, all those trash. They work well. The communities also helping one another.
4:37 : Her house is so clean and neat.
Pernah sampai ke sini 3 kali, tahun 2013, 2017, 2019. Kalau kamu tengok bawah rumah tu, makin lama makin banyak sampah, sampai sikit hari dulu Maya Karin pernah datang dengan NGO tolong bersihkan. Tempat ni asalnya cantik tapi bila makin ramai pendatang Philippine dengan Indo masuk, terus tak best. Yang bukan bajau pun sibuk nak bikin rumah kat sini lagipun waktu tu kerajaan banyak bagi bantuan dekat diorang, itu yang masing-masing sibuk nak jadi warganegara Malaysia tu.
Beautiful and simple way of life .. the cooking and cleaning of puffer fish is amazing ... like she said .they were professional ..thank you for the nice and informative video ..kuddos
pufferfish, sea grapes and sea urchins, but cooked malay style, it's so different from the japanese way which is to usually eat it raw.
They all smiling and nice to see happy children, beautiful kind of people.
That tapioca,the way she cook it same as my late grandmother did.I miss those so much.orang ulu sarawak. Usually,we eat it for breakfast with black coffee.
Im a johorean who grew up in kota kinabalu. Ive had that sinagol..it was delicious. Now going back to semenanjung for work. I miss sabah. The people,the food, the race diversity. Its not like semenanjung...too many racist people.
Racist buto kau

Oh wow! We eat tavioka (tapioka) as well in the Pacific Island of FIJI. We eat it straight from the ground in tubular shapes, not grated. It is either boiled or put into the earthen oven. We grate it and bake it into cakes. Cooked tapioka in little round balls is made as deserts or as breakfast porridge like food!
Sea grapes we have it in coconut cream, lemon, chillie and tin tuna! With tapioka. It is yummy!
Sea urchin is either smoked in fire or just opened and scooped out eaten raw. Anyone that knows how to eat it, knows how to open and eat it. Even kids. It is eaten raw most of the time. Amazing to see different ways of eating something's that we have in our countries!
My wife was living on this village. On the 1st time ive been to gaya island was 2016. On my mind was 'am i'll be okay' cause hearing gaya island mainland always say negative about it. But when i came,its different,the people was so kind and welcome you as a visitor,unexpected. My reaction,speechless and i was wrong all the time,i feel bad and tell my wife that im sorry,my wife says 'the people only came here will see the difference'. Talking about food from latok,putu,sinagol,kilau,
named it,ive taste each and every food i aint say nothing but 1. Delicious! Im surprised this video was documented,im glad,proud and happy.
Very nice documentary. Happy people living a simple life. I always see Malaysia and Indonesia as a distant relative. Greetings from Philippines.
Uinah macik, trus sa rasa macam mau makan oh 😆 such an amazing lady
Here in Marinduque, there is also sinagol but it is grated slightlyly young coconut (like in buko salad) cooked in coconut milk and turmeric with any seafood available, be it porcupine fish(galutan), stingray, shrimp, eel, crabs are common. Some province call it kinunot.
We call sea grapes "lato", near enough.
Clever way of cooking tapioca.
Not all eat tayum (only eggs are eaten) but paired with calamansi, it is slightly sweet and fishy. It is eaten raw. There is also a variety with shorter spine, "sawaki".
Thank you for this documentary.
Happiness is being content with what you have.
Cawaki called here
I have seen many of these videos but this lady I just felt the love in her cooking and Warmness ❤
Very nice video beautifull look MashAllah 👍👍👍
Some major details are left behind from this documentary. There is a big change on the island from 70's to 80's. The origin of majority people living there is not mention in details. For those who want to know, 1986 is the year to start.

I´m Tausug The PUJU is what we call ¨sianglag¨ and ¨Pyutu¨ in soüthern part of the Philippines and we put grated fresh coconut meat with it instead of oil. Latok is what we call ¨gamay¨. I can see that there are lots of similarities on the way we cook our food. I believe we belong in one group and was just devided by countries in this region. Badjaos and sama laut here in the philippines are commonly identified as lower class as the government does not really care about them. The Philippines that you commonly see in the media only promotes the northern cultures and cuisines that are influenced by colonizers. It´s funny that my family is devided by 4 nations. I am filipino by nationality and my cousins are Malaysians, Indonesians and Brunei lol
Pyuto, syanglag and biyanban.
Well, go back a hundreds ago, and those divisions will even be more complicated.
I have been watching the Slumfood documentary from different countries , so far this the best latest everything they make is much more clean than the other's
this is not slum food this is what we called village food.. the director not study futher more before putting caption we dont have slum food in Malaysia..
I love how United they are!
The fascinating things about the bajau or Bajo here in Indonesia they keep their culture in wherever they stay. I live in small island and as usual we can see the bajo community near the sea. Sometimes they serve me the foods.
But this documentary is about Malaysian bajau (sabah)
Not indon's bajau
I know, I just say here in Indonesia they have same culture, same dialect, and same food as we see in the video.
Khae Suchart Klahan bajau is bajau. Whether they’re malaysians or indonesians. They have a distinctive culture.
@@Klaharnchaiya bajau people spread everywhere around borneo, sulawesi and souther philipines. They're like nomads of the sea, you can't just claim that for malaysian.
This is the food af bangsa Sama in the Southern Philippines
Proud and happy to say most of my work mates hail from the villages of Pulau Gaya! They are some of the most amazing cooks, and hardworking people who knows how to do many things that I've ever met. Definitely sharing this video with them haha kudos!
I’m glad this video appeared on my feed. Love the content! Now I want to go to Gaya island!❤️
I remember I was a kid leaving this place🙏🏼❤️🌹😇 Nice and peaceful place to go. But I have a dreams to have a nice life❤️so I travel and try the life the city 😇 an now have own family here in city💙 I miss my lola cooking food, traditional food, Pangge and sea food ❤️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Im so happy kid from island 🌴 ❤️ best life 💛🌴
I am an indonesian malaysian, and by the way the woman talk i can somehow hear a strong malaysian language but with a hint of indonesian accent and pronunciation
Bahasa baku
Tu dialek sabah
Dialek sabah tu,apada
People in sabah speak in Malay language but the accent influenced by brunei, phillipines and indo.mm
This youtube channel is so refreshing.. although it has no host to narrate, the show itself is more than enough to tell the beautiful story of the documentary. you earn a new subscriber and I am looking forward to watch more like this.
I got to know a Bajau dive master who was sharing with us about their diet and culture. To see this video is as if his words came to life! Thank you so much for this piece!!
If only government care...There are actually so many potential on this area. The easiest idea would be to make it as tourist culinary destination.
Imagine if they able to reproduce sea urchin and/or puffer fish ethnically. They might be able to compete seafood Market for that particular food against the like of Japan/South Korea
'developing it' might destroy their ecosystem and endanger their way of life; plus the ex village head has said that they have all they need
this may lead to overfishing and small comunity who fishing on their own cannot fishing again due to decreasing amount of fish
Overhyped tourism will kill the natural ecosystem. Just keep it like that. Equilibrium.
@Old Soul
You are dumb...u know that..
My mum is a bajau as well but from the highland of Kota Belud nearby the Mount Kinabalu. Well documented this video is awesome !
@kepala kentang of course yess 😍
Sabah, Pilipas
I love the sea, the smell, the sound of the waves. I love being on a boat and swim in the sea. And I love fishing. I am actually jealous of the freedom of these people. The lady speaks Malay/Indonesian and I can understand most of what was said except of terms of food indigenous to their culture. And their food looks delicious. And I am very familiar with tapioca boiled and eaten with sambal belacan and their young leaves too. Love to see the simpler side of life.
Amazing documentary. Enjoyed every bit of this 💕
interesting documentary,
people living in the palau are so humble, simple and modest
Next, Slumfood millionaire: Pulau Ubin.
Specialties: Snail with taugeh.
My favourite documentaries by far
Love Watchin The Different Cultures Cooking Their Food!! Awesome!
IN NEED OF LATOK RN! 🤤😭
We eat that to here in Hawaii....
The Sea Urchin....we call it Wana
We make a rectangle basket with two handle wood on each side of basket with chicken wire wrapped all around to make a basket and we shack back and forth in water and out so all the thorns break off....or use a milk crate too..🙂
What a very interesting community! Their food is a very classic example of exotic! Jay is a puffer fish master. The Japanese fugu fish chefs can watch and learn from her.
Woah! The madam must be a pro - bcoz in japan, cooking pufferfish has to be handled by trained chef.
..and that Latok (succulents-sea-water-vegie), reminds me to my childhood food. My mother used to cook it with shaved-coconut and chili, that we call it 'urap latoh'
Not really cleaning a pufferfish is easier than you think. My grandparents use to eat them before and it themselves but sadly they died from it because the neighbor prepared it thinking it was just a normal fish.
T
In sarawak we also eat puffer fish and they are made into salted puffer fish as well. The roe are highly in demand as well.
I'm glad the Malaysian government supply them with clean water and money to start small business. They also care about their environment. I've been watching this series and this place have more hope than the other slumps. BTW, the producer for this program failed in Geography or what? Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia lah sohai.
This is not a slum. This is a settlement.
Unbelievable, I don't know how many I rewatch this documentary. Please bring more content like this.
So good to know they live in harmony with the nature and they lack nothing ...
In my community, we also eat "Shark (pating) Sinagol" aside from the usual (butete) pufferfish. They really are delicious 😍.
yes, and sinagol pari (stingray) also the best 😋
The best way to remove urchin spines is by placing them in a net and then shake it. The spines will be removed leaving the body bald. That's how we do it in our place. By the way, I am from the Philippines and our house is by the sea too.
These people have so little but the smiles on the faces show they have so much
I love how they don't drop a crumb. And they get all the food out of the bowl. I want so, looks yummy.
Ooo yessss. Puffer fish cooked in a sambal kinda dish is so so yummy. One of my fav dish cooked by grandma :)
I live in central Philippines and some of the spoken words of these great people are similar to ours. We are brothers and sisters indeed!
so now u know ?
Of coz. They are from the same stock. Nothing mind-blowing there.
I think their Malay is much more comprehensible for Indonesians. Less thick accent compared to the Malaysians in the peninsula.
Without the title, i could easily assume they are in Kepulauan Riau. Their accent is very similiar
Its the east malaysian accent. If you come to east malaysia we dont speak like peninsular malaysians.
They are speaking Sabahan Malay, which is very different from the Malay spoken in West Malaysia or Riau. Closer to Brunei Malay.
We Peninsular Malaysian have no problem understanding fellow Malaysian accent. Fyi, Malaysia has 13 states (provinsi). Each state has their own dialects and accents. Same as Indonesia.
that is Sabahan dialect
Kudos to whoever made the subtitle!
Im a filipina and lived in a southern part of the philippines,the puffer fish or deyng buntal we call on our language is one of my fave dish, cook with turmeric ,sagul we call it we eat with a fried cassava or tompe put calamasi or lime juice and chilis then boom.
Most of the food here,i grow up eating and still eating now a days.most of them,we eat by season like sea urchin.
Very eye opening documentary
Latok dah famous 1 Malaysia dah....Saya pernah try makan ..tetapi first time makan tekak macam x boleh telan sebab bau hanyir2 air Laut Dan masin ....tapi lama2 makan sedap jugak..👍
Boy does that sound good. I want to be invited to that dinner!
👨💼:only the bajau Community knows the best way to clean it...
Jadi mak aku tu dusun pandai juga🤣🤣
Ohh
Such an interesting food tradition.
Ps: Comments dispute whether its Malaysia or the Philippines. The Asean culture is interconnected. Regardleas, the traditions and customs blend in it's unique way.
it is not simply Asean or SE Asian - Filipinos are genetically Malay, so either way it is Malay in origin.
Wow siyanglag ibn pyutu..love it!!
i am Sabahan myself who lives in Kota Kinabalu, i was never exposed to this side of story, the life and traditional cuisine of people of Bajau who lives in Gaya Island.. thank you CNA insider...
I would love to visit this place someday!
First time tgok org masak ikn buntal nih ...
Absolutely beautiful!
Finally, sinagol is now recommended. Sadap bah tu sinagol !
I love this all food it's nature food!
Fantastic documentary. Greeting from Indonesia
Yummy! The foods look delicious. Would love to visit this island in the future.
Enjoyed this!
Putu and Lato are also famous in Mindanao, Philippines and some parts of Visayas.
Sending love to our brothers Bajau/ Badjao.. We have the same language, the same taste, the same origin
Zaiton is so skillful with the pufferfish! In Japan she would qualify as a licensed fugu expert.
I remember went to pulau gaya school long time ago. Very nice😍😍
