As a Penangite myself living on the island, I find myself travelling to the mainland for food as well... You're right when you said that some of places on the island are too touristy. We feel it too, and so we keep these hidden gems on the mainland to ourselves! But now, with your video, these places won't stay hidden for long! Hope you enjoyed Penang while you were there Mark & Ying! Micah's missing though...
Mark is just so humble from the way he thanks the generous boss many times even though the treat only cost around $25, which is considered cheap for that spread.
"Old?" Dates all the way back to 1966!? Aaaghhh! That's when my wife and I got married! But thanks for yet another excellent video, Mark! At 82, this may be the only way I'll ever get to see it. Bless you and your family for what you do!
*Malasia adalah salah satu negara yang tidak menunjukkan sisi identitas negaranya* ketika Orang asing pertama kali datang kesana hal pertama yang akan dijumpai adalah Budaya dan Makanan Asing seperti *China India Bangladesh ketimbang Budaya Pribumi* Tidak heran negara ini tidak memiliki satupun identitas yang dibanggakan lihatlah lebih banyak makanan Budaya China ditonjolkan disini ketimbang Budaya pribumi lokalnya. Dengan kata lain Malasia adalah negara minin identitas. Merasa kasian dengan negara ini.😢

If it wasn’t for your vids and the No Reservations ep I wouldn’t even know Penang existed. So grateful. It’s a bucket list spot for me now. Can not wait to visit
RIP Anthony Bourdain 😢 I used to watch all the No Reservations episodes as they came out years ago and somehow missed the Penang one until I saw it on Uncle Roger! Haven't been back to Penang for maybe 12 years now but seeing Uncle Roger's beautiful dedication to Bourdain I made up my mind to make the trek back to Penang from Australia this year and perhaps show my kids where I was born, grew up and went to school. I was too young to appreciate all this great food but these videos really have me emotionally hooked 😄
this dude is a american,but when he touchdown malaysia,he everybit malaysian as malaysian is..the passion of food,the way he presented,enjoying the food for each one,massive respect for mark wiens..
When I landed at Penang airport from Hong Kong by way of Kuala Lumpur en route, my host took me to a pure white huge food court that had a minimum of 30 food vendors inside to choose from. I've never been able to find it again. Best food I found in Penang. Absolutely delicious. Beef, chicken and especially seafood kebabs were my focus. Soups, too. My hotel had an AMAZING fruit, juices, breads, cereals, and teas and coffee buffet. No meat. But it was enough to keep you going until lunch.
I manifested coming to malaysia by your vlogs, fell in love with your old malaysian series and watched it many times. And here I am, in Malaysia, after 4 years😍😍
The first hawker centre that you went to, i have been visiting this shop since 7 yrs old and yes i do live there since I was born, You are welcomed to bukit mertajam, I hope you enjoyed it, thank you for visiting and letting the world know about this town
Mark I’ve been watching you since I was a kid, like almost 10 years ago! I’m 26 now and I’m about to leave my country to travel the world and it’s ALL thanks to you, Ying, and Micah! I’m so excited and wish you nothing but the best in your travels.
I'm 55 years young and from rural Kentucky. I love traveling around the world with you and your family. I am a huge foody and love to cook all cuisines. Some of my faves are middle eastern, indian and southeast asian. I'd rather watch your videos than anything on TV. You must have a high metabolism to be able to eat so much and not gain weight. Good for you, I'm not so lucky. :)
Ohhhh myyy I want to go there soooo badly! WOW, amazing food at every stop! Ty for letting all of us viewers go along with you while you eat your way through Malaysia!!
Mark meets the expectation when he said "thank you Aunty" at the curry noodle stall. But he exceeds the expectation when he dip petai in sambal tempoyak!

Hi Mark, Love your videos, the format, the leisure, all of it. Don't change anything. As an expat living on Pulau Penang for the last 9 years just wondering if you are still here and doing more videos? Cheers
The second place he went to i also went to. They are truly the kindest people. They don't push anything on to you. And if you're kind and respectful and ask they will let you try. I went with my best friend and he's a little more reserved cus i eat everytbing lol. But they were so sweet and made sure to explain everything best they could. What Mark says it's true. They would not let us pay and we are not influencers just Arab tourists. Of course we insisted and paid. But truly so awesome. They are lovely people. Bless ❤
Been watching your videos for years Mark, so glad you came back to our little island again, and I sure hope it will not be your last! Awesome video as usual, always enjoy your happy and cheerful presentation and recommendations, very well researched!

@@YaNKeeR_ Hi, Malaysia is a great place to retire, especially Penang. There is a Silver Fern Program here called MM2H (Malaysia My 2nd Home) and you can Google it for more info.

MARK IS A WONDERFUL INTRODUCER TO THE MARVELS OF NEW KINDS OF FOOD. He has the knack of making you feel like you are actually there with him. The food looks so tasty and it makes you want to be there with him. Keep up the great shows Mark.
This video is making me feel nostalgic. Born in Penang island in the early 80’s, grew up in Butterworth and BM, then moved to the neighboring state and now living 10,000 kms away. 😢 Anyway, the snail is called ‘siput sedut or belitung’. Sedut means sip/inhale.
Only 3 country that used thypod injection for all hawkers all cook all workers that work with food..singapore Malaysia and Thai..love to visit Malaysia again..
@MarkWiens , thanks for visiting Penang my homeland after your busy life with your restaurant in Bangkok. Thank you for promoting Ikan Bakar Din cause i have been eating there since 2008 at it still maintains the quality and flavor ever since then. Enjoy your holiday while enjoy the diversity of food cultures here in Penang 😋
Mark has chosen his profession in the right region, which is Asia. One of the best things I really like about Mark is that he has also learned the culture. When he calls someone 'auntie' or 'uncle,' they really feel it. I even saw Mark call someone 'auntie' in some other countries in South America. 😍
You don’t need guide. People in the hotel will tell almost everything you need and want to know. Talk to the concierge, be friendly, smile , and the world smiles back at you.
Welcome to Penang mainland. I am a Penangite who resides on the mainland. Some of these places are just 5 minutes away from where I stay. To be honest I have only tried the bee see heong restaurant. Seems like you are more local than a local in terms of food. 😂 Definitely gonna try the ikan bakar in kepala batas and curry mee in Bukit mertajam very soon before they get jam packed.
Love when mark make content...make my mouthwatering 😅 make my eating attacking mood come out from defense want to diet😂 next din ikan bakaq when I go Penang ..
You always get to the point of how the food is perfectly balanced with the different ingredients and flavors and the seasoning,how everything tastes and how everything works well together to create the perfect combination that what will fill you up. The best place was the second to last,was the best one.the curry looks amazing, I think the curry sauce brings out the flavor and texture of how great the dish is.
Yummy 😋 Malaysian cuisines has so much flavors incorporated with chillies giving each bite a kick chasing the savory broth complementing tender meats bringing together a tasty texture of deliciousness. The currys is a fusion of Indian and Asian ingredients married into a mixture of spices bringing together insane flavors mouthwatering worthy. There's nothing better that goes so well with a plate of rice than the saucy cuisines in this episode omgoodness!! Thanks Mark for this epic Malaysia tour!! So far each episode been fantastic!! No place does a savory sauce better than Malaysia!! Blessings & safe travels always to you and your family!! Cheers!! 🥥🦀🦐🌶🥘🍛🍻
Just a small correction India is in Asia, so it's Asian. I think what you mean to say is that it's a fusion of Indian (South Asian), Chinese (East Asian) and Malay (Southeast Asia) ingredients. All of these cultures are represented in Malaysian society. This is why Malaysia is known as "Malaysia Truly Asia" because all of Asia can be found in Malaysia.
Argghh.. I quickly glance thru the description to see where Mark going to be. Excited seeing Ikan Bakar Din in the list. Its an institution for the seb perai utara or even for folks fr SP area. Mark excitement seeing the sambal tempoyak recall of the last encounter with tempoyak at Lipis with Pian hahha..
This video is amazing... what a wonderful array of food. The fish dishes are fantastic. Mark, I recently purchased and tried your Smoked Ghost Pepper Powder. It is outstanding. What I like most as you can adjust the since level by how much you use. I like things spicy, but certainly not as spicy as you do. What I did was get small amounts of chicken broth, and add in a small amount at a time to get to where I wanted it to be, Then I spiced my food based on that. Great product! It is great! I actually have it in my purse and pull it out when out and about... lol.
RM120.00 or USD26.00 for the whole feast of grilled fish, beef, crabs, snails, salads, stink beans and a lot of other dishes? Are you serious? That's really a freaking bargain!
I live in Australia, where 5 pieces of "king prawns" will easily cost you $60!!! For the cheaper ones its mostly frozen and not fresh. I miss Malaysian food!!!
SO FEW TIMES I’VE SEEN MARK SMILE AND BE TOO EXITED BEFORE ANY FOOD AS THIS TIME WITH THE BUFFET OF SEA FOOD. I WAS ALSO SO HAPPY FOR HIM. SURELY YOU DESERVE IT MARK. ENJOY!!!!
So few times you have seen Mark smile? Where have you been looking, he smiles 99.99% of the time, and also those eyes whilst he is smiling. Everyone comments on him smiling, how could you not have seen them smiling EVERY second of any video?
Now, that's what I call the ultimate buffet. My mouth was watering when you tore into that huge whole fish covered in sambal. What kind of fish was that? I love a good white fish, and that one looked amazing.🤤
Hi Mark. Awesome energy, awesome video as all ways. Makes me want to go to Malaysia and try all this even when am a vegetarian. 😅 I have been following you for a long time, just a small feedback on your thumbnail pic. Personally, I find it pleasing when you are excitedly showing off your fav food/platter along with the people on the thumbnail instead of your mouth stuffed with food. There's nothing wrong with the latter, but generally I associate that thumbnail with heavy food mukbangs. Nothing major. You do whatever works for you on TH-cam. 🙂 Looking forward to the next video.
The absolute pioneer and god of Asian Food Vlogging! May you live forever to eat, travel and vlog Mark. Looking forward to you raiding traditional secret home recipes in Bharat (India). Love you till the last grain, noodle and bite of the roti ❤
I love Malay food. Thanks for introducing the Ikan baka restaurant. I will be sure to visit this place asap. Cant wait!!! Oh ya, Stop by Firefly Jetty at Nibong Tebal for a surprise meal if u are still around the corner.
I simply love how Mark does things out of order,but he acknowledges it than shows the correct steps with all the ingredients I’ve been watching you for years you not only have grown and allowed us to witness it, but you also educate us in the process. I love ALL your videos much prayers to you and your family. I can’twaittoseeyall journey.!!!.

Hi Mark, the shell that cooked in the yellow coconut milk is called "Siput" in our Bahasa Malaysia. The yellow coconut milk is called, "Masak Lemak".
The actual name of that is siput sedut or balitong. The word siput refers generally to all snails in BM.
The Sambal Tempoyak.. fermented durian with sambal was one of the best food to eat.. what a flavour 🤤🤤🤤

Mark you always make me hungry late in the evening
Mark, thank you for video, your optimistic energy is a gift. 🌶🌶🌶🌞🌞🌞
This video is amazing... what a wonderful array of food. The fish dishes are fantastic. Mark, I recently purchased and tried your Smoked Ghost Pepper Powder. It is outstanding. What I like most as you can adjust the since level by how much you use. I like things spicy, but certainly not as spicy as you do. What I did was get small amounts of chicken broth, and add in a small amount at a time to get to where I wanted it to be, Then I spiced my food based on that. Great product! It is great! I actually have it in my purse and pull it out when out and about... lol.
RM120.00 or USD26.00 for the whole feast of grilled fish, beef, crabs, snails, salads, stink beans and a lot of other dishes? Are you serious? That's really a freaking bargain!
I live in Australia, where 5 pieces of "king prawns" will easily cost you $60!!! For the cheaper ones its mostly frozen and not fresh. I miss Malaysian food!!!
Wow...
At last you change your t-shirt
Love from italy--bangladesh
❤❤❤
It's always a great show
SO FEW TIMES I’VE SEEN MARK SMILE AND BE TOO EXITED BEFORE ANY FOOD AS THIS TIME WITH THE BUFFET OF SEA FOOD. I WAS ALSO SO HAPPY FOR HIM. SURELY YOU DESERVE IT MARK. ENJOY!!!!
So few times you have seen Mark smile? Where have you been looking, he smiles 99.99% of the time, and also those eyes whilst he is smiling. Everyone comments on him smiling, how could you not have seen them smiling EVERY second of any video?
@@ZeliardFTW I SAID "LIKE IN THIS VIDEO" READ TWICE PLEASE...
Mark and sambal tempoyak. It's like he's returning to hometown. 😂
The last shop... OUTSTANDING 😮
welcome back to Malaysia mark .... i love you to travel around Malaysia again especially Terengganu kelantan 🤣🤣
Definitely can’t wait to try Malaysian food
The food is very very good and healthy
Next week I will go to Din Ikan Bakar In Butterworth😂😂
Kepala Batas to be specific
Lots of love from india ❤
Hahahaha, the moment and anticipation when you're getting that second stink bean out and going for the fermented durian dip 🤣! Amazing!
Now, that's what I call the ultimate buffet. My mouth was watering when you tore into that huge whole fish covered in sambal. What kind of fish was that? I love a good white fish, and that one looked amazing.🤤
❤the country and food 👍🏴
I would love to have been with you on some of your food trips. You are unbelievable my friend.
Great food all over Malaysia. Thank you for showing the "other" part of Penang. Safe travels.
You go MARK!!!
Hi Mark. Awesome energy, awesome video as all ways. Makes me want to go to Malaysia and try all this even when am a vegetarian. 😅
I have been following you for a long time, just a small feedback on your thumbnail pic. Personally, I find it pleasing when you are excitedly showing off your fav food/platter along with the people on the thumbnail instead of your mouth stuffed with food. There's nothing wrong with the latter, but generally I associate that thumbnail with heavy food mukbangs. Nothing major. You do whatever works for you on TH-cam. 🙂
Looking forward to the next video.
I would love to taste this food. I watch and feel like I’m starving!
Mark and his love with tempoyak is undeniable
Mark. Curry mee in the morning is a YES for me.👈👍😁
The absolute pioneer and god of Asian Food Vlogging! May you live forever to eat, travel and vlog Mark. Looking forward to you raiding traditional secret home recipes in Bharat (India). Love you till the last grain, noodle and bite of the roti ❤
I love Malay food. Thanks for introducing the Ikan baka restaurant. I will be sure to visit this place asap. Cant wait!!! Oh ya, Stop by Firefly Jetty at Nibong Tebal for a surprise meal if u are still around the corner.
Amazing
It looks beautiful and yummy, I like your video, Mark
ASMR food sounds yummy! The country is just a beautiful hustle and bustle.
I simply love how Mark does things out of order,but he acknowledges it than shows the correct steps with all the ingredients I’ve been watching you for years you not only have grown and allowed us to witness it, but you also educate us in the process. I love ALL your videos much prayers to you and your family. I can’twaittoseeyall journey.!!!.
marks videos are so much better when he is just on the streets doing it by himself than when he's just with some guide that dominates the video
