I tried Malaysia's Nasi Lemak Fried Chicken at McDonald's. It's good, but it's better on the street! th-cam.com/video/T0Q7jYWBxUc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7Zx9f8U6vsoy3ISa
We Malaysians in terms of taste buds are very demanding. If the fried chicken isn’t good, out you go same goes to other fried chicken fast food chains. If u find Texas chicken around, it’s actually Church’s chicken.
@@Reardon_Explores malaysian texas chicken.. the fried chicken, jalapeno bombers and the biscuits are amazing. I like texas's fried chicken better than mcdonalds
Us Malaysians are definitely proud of our food culture, and we hold the same standard for big franchises too. Even our Maggie instant noodles (curry flavoured to be exact) is deemed as top tier, and many Malaysian students even make a fortune selling them overseas whenever they came back after semester break. If the food is bland, it won't sell among Malaysians 😂 and the street food (easiest to find at our pasar malam) or family-run businesses are where you'll find all the best local food.
Maggie Curry had its peak back in 30 years ago where you can smell the curry flavour outside your house when your mom cooks it. Or when you smell that in your house but there's no one at the kitchen you know it must be your neighbour cooking Maggie Curry. Flavour wise it has gone down 70% at least from the taste it should be.
Maggi is a Switzerland brand for those wondering, just a clarification. Dont want to accidentally claim. Same with milo, an australian chocolate drink brand, also very popular here.
@harrow3908 its they brand but for malaysia market its not the same like it here , they developed the taste for malaysian bud is here , if you want the same taste like malaysia versions you have to buy the malaysia versions otherwise it's not the same at all .. like milo , Australia version it's very different from malaysia, malaysia flavor far more better
Friendly reminder, if you dine in at Malaysia fast food restaurant, there's a sauce station in some corner, so you can freely help yourself with it, the most basic sauce are tomato sauce and the chilli sauce, at the KFC there's supposed to have both of them and one addition which is thai chilli sauce which is my favourite 😅,most of the westerner who tried our Malaysian fast food franchise usually complain the food don't have any sauce or too little so would be a help if they would know this information first hand
Ah yes! That is right. Because of how busy it was, I didn't think about grabbing other sauces. Actually, the Chili sauce from Thai McDonalds is sweet too, not spicy at all which is interesting.
@@Reardon_Explores yeah, it's supposed to be sweet & sour and a little bit spicy for that little kick for a chilli sauce, even in Malaysia, different brand of chilli sauce have different taste🤣 some more to the sweet side,some more to the spicy and some may a little salty, so know your brand of chilli sauce in Malaysia are essential actually 🤣🤣, because some of it help to make the dish more delicious
@@Reardon_Explores in the video you're wondering if we dip any when we eat the spicy chicken. yes we dip!!! and we dip in chili sos like it's a must honestly. the chicken foldover you ate, i would have dip the top part that doesn't have the meat with chili sos. or i would have pour chili sos inside the chicken foldover to eat it. actually we almost dip everything with chili sos lmao. like almost a lot of our local food we eat with chili sos. like there's chili sos on maggie goreng mamak, nasi goreng, mee goreng, cekodok/cucur bawang bilis goreng etc.
Malaysia’s McD have a lot of seasonal items offered either during certain festive seasons or throughout a period of time as limited offers (could be more than once within a year). So it keeps everyone always looking into their menu from time to time to see what would pop-up for the day. It’s fun and entertaining and creative as well😊 We take McD’s pie for example. The all time available (permanent) pie is apple pie. But on other occasions or limited time frame, you could get banana pie, pineapple pie, corn pie, coconut pie, pulut hitam santan (black glutinous rice with coconut milk) pie, taro (yam) pie, and many more! *At least more than 10-15 flavors (of pie) offered in Malaysia McD’s so far and on going.. My personal favorites are banana pie, pineapple pie & corn pie ❤😊
I spent most of my high school years and 20s in the East Coast particularly MA and NY, I agree with you Malaysian MCDonaldsare the best. Since there’s a lot American TH-camrs are doing similar content on Malaysian MCDonald’s , it ‘s getting super predictable and annoying. I highly recommend you to do other American franchises e.g. Taco Bells, Texas Chicken, Subways, Burger Kings and the list goes on.. Btw from all the other American wannabe TH-camrs, I found that your contents are the most genuine and sincere. I wish you well in getting more subscribers here in Malaysia and Eid Mubarak my friend .. I wish I am in KL right now so I can invite you and your GF to my open house. Unlike in America, when we celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas, it’s only for the close families or friends but here in Malaysia when we celebrate Eid, we invite and welcome all to our home for a big great feast. Enjoying your contents and another suggestion if you going to be in Malaysia for a long period of time, I highly recommend to interact with the local, in experiencing what Malaysia truly is
Hi! Cool! I spent many years in MA as well! 😎🤜🤛. Yes, I'd like to do more of them, especially Taco Bell & KFC. Truth is, I try to systematically put them into my schedule because its a lot of calories and not the best meal haha. Thanks a lot for the kind comments. I try to be true and not over-play my character. Thank you for the offer. I am traveling currently but will be visiting Malaysia again and again throughout the months hopefully. Malaysia is a magnet and I need to spend more time there throughout the country. Enjoy your EID Celebration and time with friends & family! 😃
as a malaysian, im glad you enjoyed our mcdonalds and i feel honored for our country's mcdonalds to be one of the best on your list, also ayam grg if im not wrong, is ayam goreng. ayam means chicken and goreng mean fried, so its fried chicken. hope that helps :D
i was scrolling through my yt and accidentally found your video, it's very fun to see you reviewing food in our country. There you go, you earned a sub❤️
Awesome video Matt because you are sincere and genuine..As a Malaysian we need an outside TH-camr like you who is honest and not predictable like others. Good job and congrats you got a new subscriber 🎉
The Foldover was the standard menu item on McDonalds many years ago and it used to be the only item I ordered whenever I went to a McDonalds. Now they removed it from regular menu and only offered it during Ramadan.😢
@@Reardon_Explores In Malaysia during different festive seasons, McDonald will release different items on the menu. So there are more items on the menu for you to try but you gotta come back during the Malaysian festive seasons. The foldover you had was during Ramadan season, there will be the prosperity burgers during the Chinese New Year and some others as well throughout the festive seasons in Malaysia. Hope you get the chance to try them all Matt 😊
@@Reardon_Explores wait in this video did you buy the mc donalds during ramadan? if yes then no wonder the place is full and it's very peak cuz from 4pm to 7pm is where muslim people during ramadan will raid and book a place in a restoran so that they can "berbuka puasa" when the "azan" has called. ramadan is where muslim people fasting from when the sun come out(morning) to when the sun goes down(night). so they can start eating during night time.
As a Malaysian, Ayam grg ( ayam goreng) means Fried Chicken in Malay ( Bahasa Melayu ). Also we don’t really dip the chicken is anything,but some people do like to dip it in the Sos Cili ( Cili sauce)they give.
If you love fried chicken and spiciness, you have to try their Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. It's essentially a chicken burger (chicken sandwich) and I can bet your bottom dollar that it's almost everyone's go to in McDonald's here in Malaysia. So good
11:07 AYAM GRG Ayam = Chicken GRG is short form from word goreng. Means fried. Ayam goreng = Fried Chicken 16:44 The chicken should be on top and below the bread. but because you hold it vertically, the chicken has fallen. that's why you see above space empty. because the chicken has fallen to the bottom.
I think the porridge got a little bit more salty after you add in the white/black pepper powder. I think that powder has some MSG or salt added in. The porridge is already good by itself, no need to add the powder. This is my personal opinion since the saltiness of the porridge is already good as is. The spicy chicken is also much more spicy than KFC spicy chicken so I can confirm they didn't take the chicken from there. Love your video. It's a balance between talking and ASMR. The black seeds on the wrap bread is chia seeds or quinoa if I'm not mistaken. Glad you had a fulfilling experience eating food here. Sending love from Malaysia.❤
Thanks for the review! I’d say if you want to have McDonald’s chicken, enjoy it as a part of the Nasi Lemak Ayam set. I really love the sambal sauce with the chicken, extra kick of spice in my opinion. And to wash it all down, iced lemon tea is the way to go! Cold and refreshing with a bit of a sour note that goes very well with the spiciness of the chicken + sambal sauce. All in all, hope to see you try more Malaysian food and discover our gastronomy delights. Thanks man!
I will do another video just on the Nasi Lemak set. It would be interesting! Malaysia has the best Ice Lemon Tea, I love it! I sure will be there again soon for one more trip before moving on to other countries.
@@Reardon_Explores Even the regular ice tea that you can get at a regular restaurant is a lot like half and half sweet and unsweet tea you can get Stateside (I did spend quite a bit of time in the US). So yeah, try more stuff and you should see our interpretation of "Western food."
Eid festive season is coming soon, so most area in KL especially Sogo and nerest areas becoming so crowded & congested for last minute shopping. Then during holiday... KL becoming empty and silent.... And then burst again during weekend after Raya's Holiday... Malaysian culture celebrate Eid Fitri fully for a month with open houses, visiting and gathering friends, relatives, malls, and reactional parks.
And yet... The McD is the first alternative choice during festive holiday since most local Malay muslim restaurant are closed for holidays (so might be crowded with high volume of customers)
Right! It seems that in Southeast Asia, the locals love it. I think more than Americans do in-terms of visiting the restaurant and sitting there to eat.
GRG short form for ‘goreng’ which is in English means fried. So on the recipt it stated Ayam Grg- fried chicken lahh.btw welcome to Malaysia. Enjoy the food and hv fun.!
Another thing that you should try the next time u hit a Msian McDs is to eat the hot fries by dipping it the McD Strawberry Sundae. It's a polarising thing, some love so hates but I find the Salty hot fries dipped in the cold sweet Sunday quite awesome.
I totally love the fact that u enjoyed spicy food. So if u are back to KL or Malaysia again..there are tonnes of options for spicy food that you should explore!
I thought you'd be ordering nasi lemak McD...my favourite. I still dip my fried chickens in chilli sauce. You are probably not in Malaysia by the time this video is out but you should have done a KFC review also. Oh btw there is also a Mc Cafe usually beside McD, they serve all the hot beverages plus cakes and buns etc.
@@Reardon_ExploresI prefer original KFC chicken but look for the busy outlet, so that their chicken is freshly prepared. It should be moist and juicy😂
Welcome to Malaysia. You & your girl hv no choice either stay on w us or visit us again. Why? Two word.. bow to one and only in the world during new year festive...designed in Msia...the Propesrity Baarrggaar!
Tengok lah dia makan apa bang oiii...Rm 60 tu termasuk dia beli utk awek dia sekali...kira standards lah tu makan Mcd utk 2 org... kalau nak murah makan jer ayam goreng pasar mlm tu hahaa
I saw this video in October, now I crave the chicken foldover. It's one of the best seasonal menu we had. This menu usually promoted in Muslims holy month which called Ramadan or we call it as fasting month. The promo period only last for one month. If you missed the chance to try that time, then need to wait for next year Ramadan.
I worked in McD through university, try adding 2 cheese slices to that chicken foldover. I played around with my lunch on shifts and thought I found the best menu over in McD
McDonald's is our special place to hang out with friends...and our first thought if we wanna eat something even if we aren't hungry...we glad you like it
Yeah, we normally have the chicken porridge when we're feeling sick or fever, or when we feel a little blue. Grg is the abbreviation for Goreng (Fried). The spicy chicken even taste better than KFC's "Hot and Spicy chicken". I like the fried chicken on it's own. But most would probably dip it with ketchup or chilli sauce. Some of Malaysian love to dip the fries 🍟 into the sundae, it's the hot and cold, salty and sweet combo.
It is a great meal to have sick. Now, I'll be wanting it when I'm under the weather. Hahaha yes! Many people have talked about dipping it in chili sauce, which is so interesting! Woah! Fries in Sundae. You know, this is super famous in the US with the fast food Wendys. We call it "dipping the fries in the frosty". 😂😂
You should try Ramly Burger. It is being sold by stalls at the roadside. Believe me the taste is superb and far better than any burger in town. When u order try Special Burger (beef + egg + cheese). So far, every of my foreign friends said that is the best burger that they have ever had
You can find videos of me eating Ramly Burgers on this channel. Take a look! I've had the special a few times. I've actually had Ramly Burgers 10+ times aha
Thank youuuuuu for coming here and trying our foods!!! We loveeee tourists like you ! Each state in our country has its own special food. Come to kelantan and have some nasi kerabu and nasi kak wok. I bet u will love it so so so much.
Thanks a lot! I've had Nasi Kerabu during the Ramadan market times. Super tasty but not original as it wasn't in Kelantan. Was in Kota Bharu and Perhentian Islands recently.
yes.. we dip it in chili sauce. that is normal spicy. there is another seasonal item xtra spicy chicken.. that one i think most foreigner cannot handle
U should visit Malaysia during Dec/Jan time, that the time we will have the prosperity burger for the Chinese New Year where we can change the regular fries to curly fries.
There was also an extra spicy fried chicken (vs the one you had) sometime back, during one season. Many had it and some actually but it was so spicy that it caused discomfort. They pull it out of the menu later due to such. The worst ripped off menu was the seasonal BTS nuggets. Same nuggets with just different sauce and packaging but nothing more!
Wow i wish I could have tried that extra spicy. Haha i'm not for the advertisement of groups like that on food. I saw Burger King and others did something similar before, like Black Pink Burger...a bit odd to me
Im glad you enjoyed mcdonalds here! Ayam grg stands for ayam goreng which means fried chicken And the porridge isnt overcooked because we normally cook the porridge for a long time so we get a mushy texture so its easier to swallow when you are sick 😅 Next time you should try their gcb or nasi lemak!
You should try dip the fried chicken in mcd's chilli sauce. It is tangy, bit spicy & sweet chilli sauce. I try to find any chilli sauce in the market and I can't find any better than mcd's chilli sauce. If I make my own home made beef patty burger, mcd's chilli sauce is the best of them all.
I really love Malaysia Macdonald it's delicious and Very good 😊 And for your information Grg means Fried/frying 😅 and yup Malaysia Fried chicken is spicy
Suprise...Foldover usually only exist in fasting month in Malaysia.if you can find oneoutside the fasting month, you are so lucky..that special sauce is garlic sauce..usually for chicken. and spicy sauce for beef foldover..but now you can choose any sauce for your patty..😊
Bubur nasi or rice porridge is meant to be overcooked rice. If it's just rice in soup, we call it nasi air..or literally translated to rice water(means soup)
you know what, when that ayam goreng spicy first came out on the menu, i was fall in love with it, i meant deeply madly in love with it. to be honest, i had it almost everyday. god! the feeling...was amazing. yes the consequence of that crazy loves, i managed to gained weight a lot i mean a lot hahahahahahahaha, so i had to quite. now, i eat it 1 or 2 times a month sometimes once a month. hahahaha yes, im not gonna lie, that chicken is the best!! and for the porridge, we as a mom, when our kids fell sick, that porridge will be the first thing came up to our mind. tasty, fulfilling and easy kids friendly.
Haha wow that is a wild ride. At least you got your fair share of it and have your temptations under check now. Seems like everyone's go-to sick meal is the McDonald's porridge. Malaysia McDonald's should be happy. 😝😃
@@felinomarcelo3404 Definitely will next time. I've actually only ate Texas Chicken one time, so I have little-no experience with that one, but KFC....SO much hahah
I love AyamGoreng McD and KFC.. Ayam Georgie 🤣🤣😂😂 it's ok Today and tomorrow KL will be quiet again.. You might enjoy the empty road.. many immigrant workers will be at KLCC enjoying their holidays..

I love that mango peach drink. At one time i bought 3 and finished 2 at the same time
Hahaha oh my. It is super fresh and light. Love it!
I totally love the fact that u enjoyed spicy food. So if u are back to KL or Malaysia again..there are tonnes of options for spicy food that you should explore!
Yes! I for sure will. Need to diversify more and see what else there is! 😃😝
@@Reardon_Explores u should go to Malacca and try Asam Pedas!! Fuh! I am sure that you'll love it!
@@slamdunkagain05 Yeah, I should go there and do so. Sounds quite delicious!
@@Reardon_Explores you should try KFC too.. Lots of foreign youtubers said malaysians KFC are the best compared to their own.
@@RN0010 Will do so on my next visit
thanks for visiting bro. try the Nasi Lemak McD when u come back again.
It was good! Tried it already on my other vlog channel
I thought you'd be ordering nasi lemak McD...my favourite. I still dip my fried chickens in chilli sauce. You are probably not in Malaysia by the time this video is out but you should have done a KFC review also. Oh btw there is also a Mc Cafe usually beside McD, they serve all the hot beverages plus cakes and buns etc.
I'm definitely going to go back and do the same for KFC. I had planned on making one, but too be honest, I ate too much everyday 😂
@@Reardon_ExploresI prefer original KFC chicken but look for the busy outlet, so that their chicken is freshly prepared. It should be moist and juicy😂
@@rcBorneo Ah that is true! More busy, the fresher the chicken!
Welcome to Malaysia. You & your girl hv no choice either stay on w us or visit us again. Why? Two word.. bow to one and only in the world during new year festive...designed in Msia...the Propesrity Baarrggaar!
Hahaha definitely going to be making more visits to Malaysia. It is beautiful and has great hospitality.
Thank you so much, for visiting my country and trying out the food also when i saw the price i was kinda shocked, here RM60+ is a lot
Ahh yeah, next time I am going to spend less
Tengok lah dia makan apa bang oiii...Rm 60 tu termasuk dia beli utk awek dia sekali...kira standards lah tu makan Mcd utk 2 org... kalau nak murah makan jer ayam goreng pasar mlm tu hahaa
I saw this video in October, now I crave the chicken foldover. It's one of the best seasonal menu we had. This menu usually promoted in Muslims holy month which called Ramadan or we call it as fasting month. The promo period only last for one month. If you missed the chance to try that time, then need to wait for next year Ramadan.
Yeah that is right! I am glad I got to try it when it was available. For you, only another half year or so 😝
Try out the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. You can’t find it in any parts of the world except for Malaysia!
Okay, interesting. I will add it to the list for next time
I am very happy to see you enjoying yr msian meal. Msia will keep on surprising u . Enjoy!!
I believe so! Can't wait to explore more!
I worked in McD through university, try adding 2 cheese slices to that chicken foldover. I played around with my lunch on shifts and thought I found the best menu over in McD
Wow sounds tasty! Love cheese, but cheese is expensive in SEA
You're so lucky to be able to try the foldover. It's a seasonal thing and only available once a year.
Yeah I got there at the right time :)
@@Reardon_Explores it got sold out at my place so fast and I have to find it at another McDonalds....
McDonald's is our special place to hang out with friends...and our first thought if we wanna eat something even if we aren't hungry...we glad you like it
McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, etc... has a different atmosphere in SEA than it does in the West. I like it!
I'm a new subscriber here❤welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thanks a lot! :)
Yeah, we normally have the chicken porridge when we're feeling sick or fever, or when we feel a little blue.
Grg is the abbreviation for Goreng (Fried). The spicy chicken even taste better than KFC's "Hot and Spicy chicken". I like the fried chicken on it's own. But most would probably dip it with ketchup or chilli sauce.
Some of Malaysian love to dip the fries 🍟 into the sundae, it's the hot and cold, salty and sweet combo.
It is a great meal to have sick. Now, I'll be wanting it when I'm under the weather. Hahaha yes! Many people have talked about dipping it in chili sauce, which is so interesting!
Woah! Fries in Sundae. You know, this is super famous in the US with the fast food Wendys. We call it "dipping the fries in the frosty". 😂😂
That's a chicken stock rice congee. Breakfast staple of a Chinese restaurant. Add salted egg and salted peanuts for more taste.
Hello Matt, here watching and supporting you from Texas! 😊
THANKS THANKS
If u shred the fried chicken into pieces then mix into the porridge,it taste heavenly that how i always eat
OMG!! That is a brilliant idea. Sounds quite amazing!
Yeah mixed between porridge + fried chicken pieces are so SO GOOD!
Love that you loved our Macdonald's! Macdonald's Malaysia loves you for sure for this! 😏👍
Hahaha I guess so. The chicken was the best yet!
You should try Ramly Burger. It is being sold by stalls at the roadside. Believe me the taste is superb and far better than any burger in town. When u order try Special Burger (beef + egg + cheese). So far, every of my foreign friends said that is the best burger that they have ever had
You can find videos of me eating Ramly Burgers on this channel. Take a look! I've had the special a few times. I've actually had Ramly Burgers 10+ times aha
@@Reardon_Explores That is awesome 👍
Thank youuuuuu for coming here and trying our foods!!! We loveeee tourists like you ! Each state in our country has its own special food. Come to kelantan and have some nasi kerabu and nasi kak wok. I bet u will love it so so so much.
Thanks a lot! I've had Nasi Kerabu during the Ramadan market times. Super tasty but not original as it wasn't in Kelantan. Was in Kota Bharu and Perhentian Islands recently.
The next time you come to Malaysia again, you gotta try McDonald’s Spicy Chicken McDeluxe burger, its BOMB!
Ah so many burgers to try from there!
@@Reardon_Explores a MUST try. juicy & spicy chicken in burger
next!
dude i love this video, u deserve more.
Thanks for watching it! I will make more 😝
13:20 we dip in with sweet spicy chili sause, woooo it’s goood. You make me hungry even after i had my lunch 🤣
Haha I will do that next time. Time to eat again?
Hope you enjoy your stay in Malaysia !🎉 try out some durian it’s the festival now !
Will do so one day. Not the biggest fan of fruits haha
looove the porridge ("bubur" = rice porridge), i'll have it any day!
So tasty
Wow,u can finished all of them in one time...👍🏻❤️
Probably shouldn't have haha
We just dip the chicken in the chilli sauce. I'm glad to see you in Malaysia, trying Malaysian food.
Glad I had the opportunity! :)
@@Reardon_Explores Cool. I am half Malaysian so I am being biased but I think Malaysia has the tastiest food in Asia or maybe the world. 😬
Hahaha I think it's a tough battle. I'd love to see a cooking/tasting battle between Asian countries. Although, it might end up in a fight haha
That’s the crunch, great video 😎👍🏼
Hahaha thanks!
I hope you'll get more recognition from people on the youtube!!
Fingers crossed 🤞 we will see what the TH-cam Gods have in store :) if not...i'll still keep it going because I enjoy it :)
love your honest opinion in this video! i got hungry watching you eat now i gotta go order myself some ayam goreng spicy McD😭🧡
Hahha thanks for watching. It was fun to make. I want some more haha
Thank you for eating Malaysian mcdonald we love ur all video❤❤❤
Most importantly. thank you for watching! I'll be back to try more :)
Try marry brown it's a local Malaysian fast food chain. I love the chicken and rice menus are spot on for fast food.
Sure will do!
Yes, if not mistaken the fries everywhere is from the same producer, McCain
I think so!
Thanks for this wonderful video.
Always my pleasure! :)
@@Reardon_Explores 😁
TY for coming to Malaysia
Was a pleasure!
Awesome channel honest and brilliant western man!
Haha thanks a lot! Creation is fun!
YOUR MOST WELCOME
Your Channel growing in Malaysia Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Yes, thanks to all the kind malaysian people ❤️
please make more videos like this!! greetings from malaysia
I will soon! Where else?
dtg sabah bro, kau cuba makan lato-lato, sianglak, piutu, dan lain2. Ada sumandak lawa2 men
One day I will go
Ayam Gorg (short form for "goreng" perhaps). The words are flipped in Bahasa Malaysia for English. Ayam (Chicken) Goreng (Fried)
Ahh right! I need to learn some Malay
yes.. we dip it in chili sauce. that is normal spicy. there is another seasonal item xtra spicy chicken.. that one i think most foreigner cannot handle
Ahhh right. I think so
the foldover was a good choice! 😋👍 personally i'd go for the garlic sauce its the bomb!!
Ahh okay. Next time. Sometimes white sauces can be overkill but that sounds pretty good
U should visit Malaysia during Dec/Jan time, that the time we will have the prosperity burger for the Chinese New Year where we can change the regular fries to curly fries.
Ah that would be a good time to try it out!
that porridge is the best food when you're having fever....it still taste good when you're sick lol
haha that I can imagine
I'm glad u love my country foods...u should try cendol and ais kacang sometimes...
I've had Cendol...what an interesting sweet dish. Refreshing for them heat wave days
you should try Nasi Lemak Mcd
I have. You can find it on my second channel.
There was also an extra spicy fried chicken (vs the one you had) sometime back, during one season. Many had it and some actually but it was so spicy that it caused discomfort. They pull it out of the menu later due to such. The worst ripped off menu was the seasonal BTS nuggets. Same nuggets with just different sauce and packaging but nothing more!
Wow i wish I could have tried that extra spicy. Haha i'm not for the advertisement of groups like that on food. I saw Burger King and others did something similar before, like Black Pink Burger...a bit odd to me
Im glad you enjoyed mcdonalds here!
Ayam grg stands for ayam goreng which means fried chicken
And the porridge isnt overcooked because we normally cook the porridge for a long time so we get a mushy texture so its easier to swallow when you are sick 😅
Next time you should try their gcb or nasi lemak!
Thanks for the info! I've had the Nasi Lemak also: th-cam.com/video/T0Q7jYWBxUc/w-d-xo.html
GRG not GRC
GRG short for GORENG
@@syamieda oh ok
U damn right, I've been a part of the team & seems can't get away from it..🤤
Hahaha I need some of that!
Try being our permanent resident..😉
Thank you for reviewing Malaysia's McDonald. As a Malaysian I am proud of our McDonald's foods.
You should be. Got it going on good. :)
GRG is perhaps stand for Goreng rempah Giling, which might translate deep fried with ground spices
Ah yes you're correct!
AS a Malaysian Its a Pleasure to see our Country Famous this Year 🎉
Yes because Malaysia has some of the best food :)
Really thank you for visiting Malaysia☺️
My pleasure. Thanks for making Malaysia a great place! :)
You should try dip the fried chicken in mcd's chilli sauce. It is tangy, bit spicy & sweet chilli sauce. I try to find any chilli sauce in the market and I can't find any better than mcd's chilli sauce.
If I make my own home made beef patty burger, mcd's chilli sauce is the best of them all.
Wow that is wild! McDonald's chili is better than what is in the market...hmmm haha. Interesting! Better stock up!
Grg is goreng means fried . Spicy chicken fried . New here and just subscribed to your TH-cam channel. Keep it up
Ahh yes got it now. Thanks! Welcome! :)
Great review doll. Glad you enjoyed our Mcdonalds🎉😂❤
Sure did! Thanks for watching!
As a Malaysian, I instantly approve of your channel once I saw your title.😚
Hahaha thanks! Malaysia is one of my favorite places! :)
I really love Malaysia Macdonald it's delicious and Very good 😊 And for your information Grg means Fried/frying 😅 and yup Malaysia Fried chicken is spicy
Ah yes. Thanks!
we love your video.keep it up
😉
Thanks a lot! More to come :)
As a Malaysian, I can agree that our McDonald's is very yummy
Right!
Suprise...Foldover usually only exist in fasting month in Malaysia.if you can find oneoutside the fasting month, you are so lucky..that special sauce is garlic sauce..usually for chicken. and spicy sauce for beef foldover..but now you can choose any sauce for your patty..😊
Found it during Ramadan time. Was lucky to visit then
Love from Malaysia 😍❤ done subscribe ❤
Thanks for watching! :)
Bubur nasi or rice porridge is meant to be overcooked rice. If it's just rice in soup, we call it nasi air..or literally translated to rice water(means soup)
Ahh okay. I see. I'm used to the rice being of a harder texture but I guess it depends how it's all prepared, together or not.
If I'm sick and lack of appetite..order a chicken porridge prefer mix in with black pepper 10 sachets in it mwahaha
Haha 10!! WoW! Sounds like a good sickness meal!
you know what, when that ayam goreng spicy first came out on the menu, i was fall in love with it, i meant deeply madly in love with it. to be honest, i had it almost everyday. god! the feeling...was amazing. yes the consequence of that crazy loves, i managed to gained weight a lot i mean a lot hahahahahahahaha, so i had to quite. now, i eat it 1 or 2 times a month sometimes once a month. hahahaha yes, im not gonna lie, that chicken is the best!! and for the porridge, we as a mom, when our kids fell sick, that porridge will be the first thing came up to our mind. tasty, fulfilling and easy kids friendly.
Haha wow that is a wild ride. At least you got your fair share of it and have your temptations under check now. Seems like everyone's go-to sick meal is the McDonald's porridge. Malaysia McDonald's should be happy. 😝😃
The most countries i like is Malaysia because it food is soo yummy and the people is soo nice
That is correct, but there are other countries with similar aspects. Malaysia is a good country for me.
Ayam grg( short for goreng meaning fried) spicy..... It just means spicy fried chicken
That is right
Mannn u made me hungry, I will go McDonald’s after this video✌🏽
Hahaha good idea
12:58 We dip our fried chicken in sweet chilli sauce in Malaysia
Oh dang! I should have done that!
I’m about to comment that too.. 😂😂😂.. we all dip the chicken in the sweet chili sauce.
@@Reardon_Explores There’s always next time. You should try KFC & Texas Chicken as well to see if there’s any differences vs other countries
@@andrewchong2616 Damn! I messed up haha
@@felinomarcelo3404 Definitely will next time. I've actually only ate Texas Chicken one time, so I have little-no experience with that one, but KFC....SO much hahah
New subscriber from Malaysia here 😍
Welcome! Thanks! :)
Enjoy food malaysia bro , stay safe , stay health … please eat nasi lemak wanjo …
Ah yes! I need to go back to that place to eat! Looks like an amazing place. Their smoothies are great too! Thanks!
It is actually called Congee in your part of the world while it is commonly known as porridge in South East Asian countries.
Ah, yes. that is right. So good!
I love AyamGoreng McD and KFC..
Ayam Georgie 🤣🤣😂😂 it's ok
Today and tomorrow KL will be quiet again.. You might enjoy the empty road.. many immigrant workers will be at KLCC enjoying their holidays..
Ah right! I need to try more from these places! Delicious menu items haha
