- We made it to Kuala Terengganu on Malaysia's East Coast and this is our first day exploring this beautiful city.
First we headed to the Chinatown here In Kuala Terengganu and I have to say it's one of the coolest we've seen in Malaysia.
We had some delicious Chinese food, visited a beautiful Chinese temple and met some great Malaysian locals as always.
Also tried a Terengganu specialty of Roti Paung Terengganu which was an absolute classic.
We then spent the evening walking down the Kuala Terengganu riverfront which is such a nice area, we checked out the Terengganu drawbridge and summed up our first Impressions of this East Coast Malaysian city.
Kuala Terengganu is another extremely underrated city here in East Coast Malaysia 🇲🇾

First day in Kuala Terengganu and what a place can't wait to show more of this beautiful city in East Coast Malaysia 🇲🇾
Yes. Kuala Terengganu is a city full of traditional Malay architecture. You should take note on the designs of the buildings such as its airport, museum, hotel/resort, market and even city bus.
The last 60 sec of this video is for us as Malaysian about how we should change to improve image and reputation of our country and people to the visitors from the rest of the world. Thank you, Ellis! As a Malaysian we need more honest feedback like this to remind our people how to improve ourselves.
I have to be honest yeah I can't just say good things like most people. Malaysia however is one of the cleaner countries in SE Asia and the people are no doubt some of the friendliest
orang Ganu memang pengotor.... 😂
Good education for the locals! Shame on those who left the plastic containers behind.
Hi Aleisha n Ellis. Have to say that was a awesome video today. Thank you for letting people know that its not okay for people to leave their rubbish behind. Especially in such a beautiful area. Thumbs up to you Ellis. 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤
Thanks Helen! How annoying is it especially when there's 15 bloody bins!!!
Have a great day
Look at that curry mee! Look at that fish ball noodle soup! Imagine having that during winter season.
Would be heaven in the cold weather
Sometimes people think Terengganu is majority is Malay people 😊 your vlog reviews is show us there's Chinatown at Kuala terengganu also😮 guys you look friendly 😁 have nice day 🥤🍝🍲
I'm glad you enjoy Putih have an amazing day
Thank u for this wonderful video n for showing your explorations in KT.
Appreciate you watching Yasin
@@EllisWR 😀
Great stuff it's awesome to see you in out of the usual tourist places. Such tasty food and friendly people. I agree with you about the rubbish it's awful that people don't understand to look after their own country. I think it's very lazy and ignorant and sad.
Thanks Mary-Anne we love to explore these places it's so refreshing.
The litter is pure laziness there's so many bins it's not alright to do that
The most attractive thing about you is honesty. For some people, they will never be ashamed of throwing trash in public.
By the way, you look cute with your hat off ☺️ Hope you and Alicia are having a great time❤
Ellis, where are you going next? Hope we can catch you 😁
Hey Shirley I appreciate the comment thankyou! I have to be honest even if it upsets some people.
Next is Kota Bharu 🇲🇾 where are you?
No worries you are juat telling a truth🙌🙌 i am now in Selangor
Thanks for showing us this interesting place E&A really enjoyed it. The buildings are lovely in Chinatown especially the carvings at the Temple. All that delicious looking food too.
Thanks for supporting always Carol!
This place looks amazing! Your videos always make me sooooo hungry haha
Ahah the food is so good man!
Ya that mee curry and your mee sup definitely looks good . Both of you enjoy your meal 😋
Thanks so much Shafiah!
Kuala Terengganu is at East coast Malaysia, I remembered I have been there almost 30 years ago,on that time it's still a little bit remote areas and not as good as now well development, as I knew most of the people are fisherman and the seafood is very nice and cheap also, anyway thank you for your update informative video take care and stay safe..
Thanks Tony it's a really nice place
I like your new hair cut. So cool 😎
Thanks my friend
Love this ❤

@@nuriahali7807 Thanks so much Nuriah 🙏
What a bargain. Huge fishball. Home made is the best
Good advice at the end of the video
Annoying Moy people should look after their home
Wow.....curry Mee look delicious 😋
It was so delicious
Hi guys ..planning to go to Gunung Stong and few of the caves? Hope you have an awesome time there...enjoy!
Youll see!
28:00 oh my God.. ,that pissed me off too. how lazy??? Tganu is my lovely hometown. ,TQ guys for cleaning up
It's so lazy people should look after these beautiful places. I'm pretty sure they were not locals
Jai yen yen nah Krap 🙏🏿🤸🏿♀️💐🍓🌽🌶️❤️
tq for coming my home town
Thanks for having us 🙏🇲🇾
ooh welcome to the state of my parents.. enjoy all the best Terengganu gotta offer
Thanks so much Ahmad lots coming 🇲🇾🙏
Actually, if you want more spicy and flavorful you can mix some white pepper and chilies sauce in your fish balls noodle soup. Usually, i will mix the white pepper powder in there so it will taste pepper. The curry noodle look really delicious and creamy like u r mentioned. Gosh.. the fish balls look so huge and spongy. Im from
KL usually u dont see such a huge fish ball. Kuala Terengganu is popular fish meat and really tasty.
I can’t deny im so enjoying u guys videos. Thank you for visiting Malaysia. I hope u guys have a wonderful time in Malaysia 🫶🏻♥️
Thanks for your lovely comment we appreciate you watching our journey 🇲🇾❤️
Good morning, Elis and Alicia 😊
Morning Supatra how's life!

chillax, no stress place in Malaysia
Yeah so chill
Good thrash lesson
Annoying isn't it gotta say it
@@EllisWR perhaps
Hey Ellis, it would be nice to see a 'behind the scenes' video of how you make edit and upload your videos while you're on the road. xxx
Hey I think it would be super boring aha but maybe! A day in the life video on a normal day
@@EllisWR It might be boring for you, you do it everyday.
For us watching your content, it would be nice to see a behind the scenes to show how your evening is, making videos late in to the night... memory cards, cameras, edits, wifi uploads...
@@Super8Rescue Maybe I'll look into it when we're moving a bit slower!
@@EllisWR Cheers.
for other people considering travelling to asia it would be interesting to see how long an edit takes, and where you get your wifi from to upload content. x
I love terengganu.. Ive been there twice.. Hi from sabah..
Hey my friend hopefully we visit Sabah one day!
I am from Kuala Terengganu but lived in London for over 40 years now
I used to live behind Kampung China (Chinatown)
The Chinese build their houses on stilts into the river from the waters edge
Very much like clan jetty in Penang
It goes 30-50 meters into the river
It started from where the market (Pasar Kedai Payang) is all the way to where the hotel Sri Malaysia is
Super cool. KT is a really nice chilled place
@@EllisWR
Dont forget to sample Nasi Dagang, Laksa & Laksam (Terengganu version) & Celup Tepung (battered seafood)
Specialty of Terengganu
Stay safe
@@TheMan-xp4cb Stay tuned 🙏🇲🇾
@@EllisWR
Will do
jauh nye
There is a city bus in Kuala Terengganu known as "Bas Kite". It looks like a coffin but actually the shape is inspired from a traditional Malay architecture.
Yes we saw this bus going around!
@@EllisWR the city bus will be passing several key landmarks in the city. So you can hop on this bus to visit some interesting attractions
There are Siam community in north Malaysia, please plan to visit them.
Thanks for tips
Terrenganu famous for their Nasi Dagang, Nasi Kerabu, Several Tyoes of Fish Stick (Keropok Lekor/Keropok Batang). Enjoy Terengganu.
Stay tuned for all those things. Terengganu food is so good 🇲🇾
@@EllisWR must go warung pok nong...ikan celup tepung ..kampung mgabang telipot
The Terengganu State Museum is the largest museum complex in South-East Asia. Located within the museum's compound is the Terengganu Cultural Complex.
Thanks for recommending 🙏

❤️🙏
Plzzzzzz ubah2lah perangai orang2 yang tidak suka jaga kebersihan,jujur aku sebagai warga malaysia amat malu dengan orang putih ni dia tolong buang sampah,plzzzzlah ubah wahai sesetengah rakyat terengganu yang pengotor tu perbaiki mulai saatni kita dh tahun 2023 takkan tk boleh berubah lgi dari segi kebersihan,sikapni harus di ajar bermula dari kecil di rumah mahupun di sekolah
❤❤❤❤
❤️🙏
Any fish meat stuffed into chilli and tofu and brinjal is called Yong tofu.
Ahhh thankyou!
Going to Genting Highlands in Malaysia is a tourist destination
Hey Ahle thanks for watching. We have no interest in visiting here there are already hundreds of these same vlogs on youtube we will stick to smaller places in beautiful Malaysia
☺️✌️☺️
Hey!
East Coast Peninsula Malaysia are more of a place for people who want to laid-back, relax, and experiencing local traditions, not much entertainment over here so you won't find a lot of tourist over here cuz most tourist want to have fun, they usually only go to the islands.
Btw there was a big fire right in the middle of Chinatown few months ago, 12 wooden shophouses over 100 year-old burnt to the ground, which was unfortunate.
Yeah east coast is exactly what we love. We like to explore 🙏🇲🇾
DONT MISS NASI DAGANG ATAS TOL..../ NASI DAGANG KAK PAH...( BATU BURUK)
Stay tuned! Atas Tol was not open when we visited but we ate some amazing nasi Dagang
Looks like you are the only 2 European tourists in KT this week, or even this month. I thought when you went to Kuantan, you were the only 2 Europeans there too.
Sometimes i always wonder what have these tourism agencies done that foreign tourists especially Europeans, Japanese, Koreans don't come to the towns on the east coast.
I applaud you for taking rare trips to "sleepy" towns in Peninsular Malaysia such as Kuala Sepetang, Taiping, Sungai Lembing, etc.
Sadly I don't see any tourists information center ℹ️ in the middle of the towns such as Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu, which could give advices, suggestions to tourists of where and what they should visit. I believe you rely on the internet 🛜 and the kindness of locals to guide your travels in these towns.
Note to Malaysia tourism offices : You must realize there is lack of tourists assistance + information centres in these towns, and you must step up the efforts to promote tourism in the towns on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
Believe it or not we didn't see another White tourist in our entire stay in Malaysia!
Yes exactly we just look on Google maps or speak to locals and ask them things it's the best way to do it everybody is super kind.
This is what we love to do were not interested in going to the exact same places everyone goes to and making the same exact videos we want to explore and support/meet the people of these more forgotten cities/towns.
The east coast is so nice its strange nobody Visits they all rather go to the famous places. Maybe that's why everybody here is so nice to us because they haven't met the rude and ignorant type of tourists yet
A lot of foreigners especially the Europeans love to see the authentic local places, which they cant find those vibes in their hometown. That’s why lots of European visit Thailand, Laos, Bali, Cambodia etc. Malaysia should promote these kind of authentic culture places too instead of busy promoting the hustle bustle KL city and islands.
@@shzltx1821 Exactly! However most tourists all just visit the biggest city's in those countries also and miss all the best stuff. A big city to me is the same everywhere
Good morning
Morning my friend
🥰👍🙏
Hey Sunisa how's it going
@@EllisWR oh! I'm ok..🥰 ขอบคุณค่ะ🙏
Dare Ellis to take a bite of those big red chilies 🌶 lol 😝🥵
Challenge accepted Jim that's my favourite market party trick.
Most western tourists are on the islands there.
Yeah we avoid western tourists we want to spend time with locals instead
I was walking behind a man who looked in his 40s eating pizza out of a box then suddenly launched the empty box onto the pavement. I went mental & he mumbled some shit before picking it up & putting it in a bin ten yards away
Scruffs
Min ke 27:57, Dah Mat Salleh tegur dah. Tong sampah byk disediakan disekeliling Taman tapi begitulah sikap org Kita. Adeh...memalukan betui!! .🤭
It's sad to see. Malaysia is cleaner than most countries though 🇲🇾
Who knows perhaps the Chinese came to terengganu before they reached penang.
Terengganu masih ketinggalan jauh lagi pasal kebersihan,terdapat banyak sampah2 di merata rata di tepi tepi jalan terutama di kampung,saya syor kepada pihak kerajaan negeri lebih peka terhadap isu ni,buat kempen2 kebersihan atau buat satu denda terhadap orang yang suka buang sampah di merata-rata ni,buat pertandingan daerah ke kampung ke, pertandingan kawasan bersih plzzzzzzz,,,,lah orang kite sedar2lah janganlah duduk di takuk lama lagi macamana nk maju jika perangai tk ubah
Yeah look after your beautiful country 🇲🇾
I get very angry too if I see rubbish, and I hate to say this, people from this part of my country doesnt give a damn about cleanliness
It's not good. Your country is beautiful we should look after it
A wanker 😂.. Haven't heard that in a long time. BTW you gais should checkout Kuala Kangsar in Perak after Taiping, it's a Royal town like back in time. Sad u miss that, really great architecture tbh
Hey Mohd ahah British thing to say. We were going to go but it was a mess with the train from Taiping! We will return for redemption.
Anywhere else you think we will like? 🇲🇾
@@EllisWR every state in Malaysia have their little gems, just don't go for the mainstream like depending on Google review, just ask around, Malaysian tend to treat their guest as their own family
@@mohdhadzrul9698 Yeah we don't visit places with foreigners really we like to go to random places and investigate, meet the friendly local people! 🇲🇾
25:21..yes ur sharp..u just need to read malay language in reverse to english to get d meaning
Malay language is easier to learn for us!
@@EllisWR it sure is! Enjoy malaysia!
You are right about litter. Filthy habit of those wankers who left them there.
So lazy why would you not walk 5 steps to the bin
Some peoples are have a bad altitude. A am Malaysian feel ashamed of this.
Who Mohd? The majority of people are lovely there are always grumpy people. You'll be happy to know Malaysia has one of the highest friendly people percentage out of all the places we've been!
What I meant is that to whom just litre theirs food. Whilelse there's been provided a dustbins in that areas. For me not all. I being some places and found that the same situation.
@@mohdisa1933 Yeah it's lazy people should respect nice places. They could have been foreign students or something
3d carving. Same as Hindu temples
Beautiful stuff
And unfortunately in malaysia we hv 1st world facilities but 3rd world mentality on cleanliness...
Malaysia is alot better than most countries in SE Asia believe me! These people littering could have been foreign students
@@EllisWR im sure those are locals..not many foreigners in east coast i know
@@irishque Malaysia lots better in general than most SEA countries. Singapore is different animal in cleanliness aspect. They are sterile.
@@tomiemyspace5054 i should know better..im malaysian
@@irishque And I'm Rohingyan?
Tak faham betul aku yg mkn tak reti buang ni, malas betul ye. Malu²in saja kau
Yeah it's sad isn't it
