Hi, we're Jesper & Vanessa! We have had a passion for traveling since we met in 2013. Since then we have been working towards the goal of being able to travel full-time. We left our corporate jobs in the end of 2018, packed one carry-on bag each and left the comfort of our home in Sweden to go out and explore the unknown. We are now traveling full-time since June 2019 and are happy to take you with us on our journey exploring the world!

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | Recorded September 2019
Tips: if you can't finish your food even if you eaten half of it, you can always ask them to pack it for you. It's a common thing in Malaysia.
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
The Guy Who take your picture is Abeden. His RUclips Channel Is Abeden Mung. He is Malaysian Professional Mobilegrapher (taking picture using smartphone).
I like both of u friendly n very patient with many difficulties.
I love how honest you guys are.
Vegetarian food in Malaysia, especially the Chinese type, is often catered to certain religious groups eg buddhists. Hence it’s often gluten or tofu based. They will make it to resemble more common meat based dishes. Hence dishes made to look like chicken, beef, fish, drumsticks etc. It’s probably harder to find vegetarian street food in tourist spots with street stalls mainly catered to the masses. There are quite a few vegetarian restaurants in KL. It’s only a “google” search away. Love your Vlog!
Thank you!! 😁 Yeah noticed that, we actually found super nice food in a restaurant in 1 Utama made that kind of food that looks and tastes like meat. We have a video on it if you want to see what it looked like 👇🏽😉😊

Yes, honestly speaking, those Chinese vegetarian food resembling the meats are processed food, thus, shouldn't take as regular meals, it's not very healthy. Most healthy vegetarian food is still the Indians one, with pure veggies, herbs and spices in gravies and soup which are good for health. 😁👍
Great that you guys loved the street food....my friendly tip: always google to find out where the locals eat, Chinatown is a very touristy place and you will notice not many locals will eat there as its very pricey, USD16 for those 3 dishes is just way too expensive. The food courts in the shopping malls serve great street as well, like Pavilion Mall near Bukit Bintang, or Lot 10, KLCC Food Republic is another good place where locals dine for reasonably priced street food.....but glad you guys loved it.
Thank you for the advice Dave! We really wanted to visit Chinatown 😁 and we did enjoy it 😊
Hello guys, next time do get one of us to take you around. I noticed most of the people you talked to are foreign workers. They are friendly & good people. But if you want to get to know Malaysia, you need to hang out with the locals 😊 We are friendly too 😊 My mom in law is a vegetarian. I know a few good Vegetarian places you could try. By the way, Welcome to Malaysia & I enjoy watching your videos very much 😊
The coconut pancake we call it "apambalik" 😂
I love that egg tofu. But $16 USD for that three plate. Thats too much. That fried rice alone shouldn't cost more than $2 USD.
ikr
0:50 that is abeden mung(his youtube channel) he is local famous photographer
I bet every Malaysians are keeping an eye on their updates..😂😂
You need to visit other states as well guys. Trust me, each of the states have their own uniqueness and you won't be disappointed.
And you MUST try all our national dishes. They are our country's pride 😎😎
Yeah, just want to be informative as we can so they will have good experience! Sadly they are vegetarian, so not much malay food can offer except chinese and indian food.
there's also American couple who vlog in Malaysia months ago... you guys really remind me of them... anyway, have fun and enjoy the best that Malaysia has to offer... you guys are cute
got abeden overthere 😍
man the food so overpriced where you're going rm25 is too much for 1 person ..average should be around 8~15 max
If u wanna try malay food, u should go to kampung baru.
It's time for you guys to try malay food but too bad u were vegetarian, nasi lemak is a must but the gravy have a shrimp paste in it so kinda of difficult for u to have it.. If only u can eat a meat😁
Hot food should be put on a plate and cut into pieces with spoon & fork to cool it and mixed with portions of other dishes. We tend to eat rice or noodles with a bit of other dishes in a spoonful, unlike Western where you might fork each item in turn or even finish each first. So each spoonful will be a full taste. Otherwise you might find too each dish too salty/sweet/sour/spicy because it meant to be eaten with rice/noodles to balance the flavours. Yes it was over priced because you are foreigners - more than doubled. Better choose to eat where you can see the prices on the menu. Without a guide, it is easy to over pay.
there is no such thing as frilled friend rice....haha
actually the fried rice was done in wok, using extremely high heat (Chinese called it 'wok hei', the heat of the wok). the result is to cook whatever ingredients in shortest time at high temperature yet it retains the freshness of vegetables and meat (for meat eaters).
Glad you guys enjoyed it. There are proper and full Chinese vegetarian restaurants but its far and between. Most indian restaurants especially those in Brickfields are too happy to serve you vegetarian foods.
Oh haha 😆 it did had that grilled taste though. But thanks for clearing that up! 😁👍🏽 yes we did eat a lot of Indian food 😊
we love the Chinatown in KL and we also tried the pancake too! ^^
Central Market in front of Petaling Street/Chinatown has many shops selling fancy hats. It is also covered and air conditioned so you wont be feeling the heat from the outside. Also it probably has the best collection of Malaysian handicraft, art and souvenirs. There is a food court above where you can go when you get hungry after shopping. Its also clean and organized compared to Petaling Street.
Hey, I’m not sure how long you’ll stay here, but about “never been to rainforest before”, you can try it here in Malaysia, this is the place with tropical rainforest, can check out Taman Negara National Park, or Royal Belum State Park which is a pristine forest that’s older than the Amazon and Congo forest. Definitely gonna worth your visit.
This is tourist restaurant,if you walk in another road just two mins,you will gets more locals cheaper and delicious food .
The tauhu you eat is egg tauhu
Done sucribe. Selamat datang to Malaysia guys. U should come perak ❤️
Thank you! ☺ Yes it looks so beautiful! 😍
You guys are great ! Lovely couple nice vlog keep it up (y)
Thank you Mehdi!! ☺☺
honestly chinatown doesn't have much food you can go to street market. there's one on every Wednesday which is the longest night market in Malaysia, it's called Taman Connaught Market.
Try Little India, Brickfields next to KL Sentral. There are few good Malaysian Indian vegetarian restaurants around there. Vegetarian options for Chinese food mostly the same, noodle, fried rice and fried mixed vegetable with tofu or vegetable soup. For Malay foods mostly for side dishes that are vegetarians but plenty of fishes and seafood !
You guys should go to Dharma realm guan yin sagely monastery to find local vegetarian food..
Thanks for the recommendation! 😁👍🏽
@@JesperandVanessa you're most welcome...
If your really love tea... I really suggest you to go to Cameron Highland,, you can try as many type of tea there, even there have a tea plantation too there.. It a high land, so it quit cool comparing from kuala lumpur.. Tips, avoid weekend.. Go by weekday..
Wow that sound like a place I (Vanessa) would love to visit! I Love tea! 🍵😋 thanks for the advice! 😊
@@JesperandVanessa yeahh.. Dont forget to visit a mossy forest at cameron highland.. Dont forget your umbrella too.. And also a sweater.. Not so cool.. But you will need it at night..
And also cameron highland is a Vagetable paradise.. Many vagetable farm too.. So dont worry about your vagetable meal.. There also have strawberry there.. Have fun!!
@@acapalimusa93 Wow sounds awesome! We are no longer in Malaysia but would love to go there in the future 😃😍 when would you say is the best time to visit Cameron Highlands?
@@JesperandVanessa i think march until mid of october is the best time to visit.. Because october end until February end Malaysia having a moonsoon season, sometime too many rain...
>_< (Empathetic pain from that scalding tofu!).
Whoa, didn't realise the prices were that steep in Petaling street; nowadays my general rule is just to go to Hutong in Lot 10 for Chinese, Kampung Baru for Malay, and Brickfields for Indian.
Hope you guys got to witness those crazy-insane lightning/thunderstorms in KL!
In Chinatown: Ask for additional plates. Don't eat from the sizzling plate.
That's a touristy place. Therefore expensive.
In Malaysia, vegetables should be cheap.
Ahaha, sorry but I laughed when I saw you breathing steam out of your mouth after eating the sizzling food. You were literally breathing out smoke like a Chinese dragon. :D
Hahaha 🐲😅 it was sooo hot! 😂
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾. Love your channels... Done subscribe 😁
that pancake guy is famous...i love his peanut pancakes
Sorry to tell you, you went into the wrong plc to get food. All the cheap, nice and worth well foods is not here. Food is behind the main street. The foods at the front is only for tourist.
ya, so true, there are far better food joints in Malaysia than those in PS.
Abeden Mung viewer here..👋🏻
what a big coincidence meeting Abeden, the guy who photographed you at the start of the video.
RM66 ($16) for 3 plate of that is about RM22 per plate which is a scam. More than anything else because you went with the vegetarian route. Most of the time, the main course i.e. meat, beef and seafood (squid/prawn/crab/fish) is the most expensive item on the menu. Seafood more so than anything else right now due to monsoon seasonal change (Nov-March / May-Sept). It is not weird to ask for price before you sit down and order but then again you're not locals and wouldnt have a clue what would be acceptable or not. My advice is befriend a local and let them be a food tour guide. There are food tour guide services and I'll admit they do a pretty good job from what I've seen but I'm a cheapskate and plenty of Malaysian would be more than happy to take you guys on a food tour for free. Just ask around on your social medias if you have any Malaysian followers. I guess its too late but right now we have yet another public holiday i.e. Deepavali. I dont even know if you guys are still here in Malaysia or not but among the 3 main race in Malaysia, Indian have the most vegetarian options.
Chinatown has many hipster cafes and speakeasy bars. Central Market is just across the street, full of local Malaysian souvenirs. Not too far away, you can explore the River of Life, a light and sound show at the river.
Understandable that you think the food is expensive. You’ve been eating at all the touristy places like Jalan Alor and Chinatown, especially that restaurant where you were eating.
p/s You can find accommodation in Petaling Street. Being Chinatown, breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper is readily available.
Ask Uncle Google,,,type night market around Kuala Lumpur..
Uncle Google will tell you where to find it, there slowly you will fine vegetarian street food, ask the seller the ingredients, every one can speak English
Yes Google is our best friend! 😄👍🏽
Find..dont fine them ya
act u should try our night market malaysia , it around kuala lumpur . find other food that popular in malaysia such as nasi lemak ,lontong ,rendang , roti canai and more . enjoy ur vacay
If you guys want the best vegan place in probably whole of Malaysia go to "Dharma Realm Guan Yin Sagely Monastery" - it is a buddhist monastery 5min away from Petronas towers offering vegan chinese food. Really cheap and so so good. But only open weekdays from 12 - 2:30 pm
Also try the Happycow a Vegetarian food app ;-)
Hope you Guys enjoy Malaysia! Such an incredible country!
tourist trap...locals do not shop in foreignertown aka 'chinatown'...most of the vendors employ foreigners
If you guys are coming down to Penang, do hola at me, i will take u guys on an all expense paid food tour for a day. Ill take u guys on the craziest food tour! Sugar and Spice and everything nice! woot woot!
The waiter in white speak with foreign accent..probably..Myanmarese... so many of foreign workers in China Town .. mostly.Bangladeshi,Myanmarese
Come to Ipoh Perak..take an ETS(train) from KL Central to Ipoh..
Before you go back, u should visit kota kinabalu,sabah. There many things u need to see like upside down house, dairy farm, mount kinabalu, beautiful nature etc
I’m glad both of you like the food here ❤️
1:10 lol youre lucky you met him he's a quite famous photographer
visit Kota Kinabalu to see Mount Kinabalu
It's called Japanese Tofu, contains eggs in it, that's why it looks a little bit yellowish.....But if u r vegetarians that dun eat eggs, you have to tell them....
We had no idea! Thanks for that info 😁👍🏽
Peanut Pancake..but here we call Apam Balik..
Hope u guys come to Penang and Kedah soon.. Penang the heaven for street food lovers.. Kedah has the beautiful view if u want to see the Kampong scenery..
Oh sounds nice! We did visit Penang though 😊 stay tuned for the upcoming videos 😉😁
@@JesperandVanessa are u in Penang now?.. Cause im working here.. I wonder if i can meet you.. If u don't mind.. And if im not busy as always.. I want to give u a little souvenirs..
You are so sweet! ☺ Unfortunately we are no longer in Malaysia
@@JesperandVanessa ☹️
jesper face like "rufino segovia". player of Selangor football club in Malaysia 😂 you can search about it
It's raining season now here in Malaysia. Between October to February. So it's going to rain everyday between this period of time.
We were lucky to have been there in September then 😃👍🏽
Touristy price. Local wouldn't go there. Go Pudu area/ Sungai Wang if you want try Chinese Street food
Yes pretty pricey. Thanks for the recommendation! 😊
Hai Jesper and Vanessa,, glad you guys having so much fun here in Malaysia.. If you guys wanted to experience more Malay food you should go to Kampung Baru.. There is a lot Malay food there and you guys need to try Nasi Campur (Mixed Rice). And also you guys can try go to Masjid Jamek on Saturday because there was a long night market full of Malay street food..take care and enjoy your visit here in Malaysia 💕
They are vegetarian, can nasi campur only consist veggies no meat? 😅
@@vicc.1446 Oh ya I forgot about that.. Sorry >< but yes nasi campur do have veggies and they also can try ulam-ulaman (vegetables, fruit or herbs eaten raw as an accompaniment to rice) dip with our sambal belacan ^^
@@dewikusuma8959 no worries, need one more confirmation, what is belacan made of? Not small shrimps? 🤭
@@vicc.1446 😂 yalor ~ got small shrimps.. Just dip in with soy sauce and chili then 😭
@@dewikusuma8959 😅😂🤭😁👍
Peanut pan cake, the original name is Apam Balik (A-Pam Ba-Lik to pronounce it), Malay food.
I don't recommend you guys eat noodle because it mixed with eggs. Ask for bihun (B-hun) instead. Same with fried rice, mixed with egg. Ask for friend rice without egg.
16 usd is too much... well, that's why you couldn't see local eat there >.
Keep on updating guys~ well done.
That aunty said, it’s hard to earn your money, maybe because she need to explain a lot to you.
It is the raining season here in Malaysia, so u better get an umbrella....There is an interesting place to visit that is Bukit Nenas (Pineapple Hill) a jungle right in the centre of Kuala Lumpur...
GOOD CHOICE 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 ! THE FOOD HERE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN JALAN ALOR WHEN YOU YOU POSTED YOUR VISIT TO JALAN ALOR. IF POSSIBLE, TRY A NIGHT MARKET - PASAR MALAM. ENJOY
You should have a visit to Sabah (east Malaysia) after looking around and other states there to explore beautiful scenery of beaches, delicious and cheapest foods 😁 there's many different foods and taste man 👍
Personally speaking ( including local Chinese ) , all meals are taken with WHITE RICE SO AS TO AVOID MISSING OUT ON THE TASTY LOCAL DISHES 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Bedennnnn!
Yes! 😄
Hi guys, please be careful with the price that offered.
if you still in Kuala Lumpur you need to go to kampung baru.. Lot of Malaysian food there..
Hi! Yeah I think we got a bit scammed on the food price there. We are no longer in Malaysia, but if we visit again we should definitely check it out, thanks! 😊👍🏽
Bring umbrella if you look sunny day.. Weather at Malaysia is crazy... Tip tap tip tap.. Heavy rain coming.. 😂😂..
Better standby rain coats
For the best street food in Malaysia, there is really only one place to go..Penang. I go from KL to Penang just for it's food.
TKDNXV brought me here 🤣
Yeah, many street food vendors have no sense of hygiene. I've told off one guy who sneezed into his hands but didn't wash them. I asked him to go wash his hands. He threatened to beat me up. No one around supported me.
Nasty 😣 wow that was aggressive! 😬 Unfortunately we've seen a lot of people working in restaurants that doesn't wash their hands after being in the toilet 🤢
next is penang.... street food heaven..... multicultural food in one.. and pls try nasi lemak
Abeden detected 😎
Yes! 😁
Go to kg Baru, lot of foods overthere
It's a bit pricey guys..but next you guys should try another cool place like Kampung baru or uptown/downtown nightmarket ...
And do visit my home town Land below the wind Sabah too.
How long do you guys plan to stay in Malaysia?
& btw is quite hard to find authentic local vegetarian food but if you like sweet stuff, you guys should definitely try the desserts. I personally would recommend cendol 😁
We were there for 3 weeks. It was indeed hard to find authentic local vegetarian food. Will definitely try more sweets then, if we found ourselves in Malaysia again 😁👍🏽 thanks for the recommendation!
haha, kemah abe den mung
Are u guys ok with eggs? Coz that Tofu is a japanese egg Tofu..
Oh! Had no idea about egg tofu. We actually prefer not to eat egg 😊
Came here for Abeden Mung
oooooooo abedennnn 😅
Hi guys. Btw the next stop must go to Ipoh. Some of best food our country can found there. Lovely couple😍.
0:35 abeden part!!!!
you need to try nasi lemak. it is the best malay traditional food you will ever taste in your life
Always check on the price first whenever u r on street food......usd16.00 for those street food (3 dishes) is way too expensive.
But I'm glad u enjoyed the food...
Yeah, we should totally do that. It was pretty expensive but very nice 😋👍🏽
If you have plan to visit penang, hit me up, i can show you guys around
i know that guy who asking to take your photo
Who want them to come to Ipoh?
Drop a like!!!!
Try Nasi Lemak , Nasi Dagang , Nasi Kerabu ...if u come to sarawak,try Ayam Pansuh , Linut , Laksa Sarawak , Kek Lapis Sarawak
They can't. They vegetarian.
Got to say this..she looks like malaysian people..chacha maembong 😉
Lol ewww no. Chacha maembong is skanky and trashy.
Lol no. She's way beautiful than chacha
It's called Japanese tofu, good with sizzling cooking style or stir fried with egg
It's made from egg and not real tofu.
Charming couple. 👍🏼👍🏼
Both of u should try madam kwan’s pavilion. Try Nasi lemak. Our national dish
Thanks for the recommendation! But Nasi Lemak is that a fish dish?
Nasi Lemak comprises of Rice cooked with coconut milk, cucumber slices, fried peanut, fried anchovies, boiled egg and sambal sauce. It is incomplete w/o anchovies and egg tho but you can still ask to not have 'em, just to taste the coconut rice with sambal.
but one of Malay cuisine I recommend is Nasi Kerabu, literally Veggie Rice, sometime served with meat, so ask for vegetables only.
@@solehsolehsoleh oh okay, sound delicious 😋 Thank you so much for the recommendations! 😁👍🏽
@@solehsolehsoleh do we have shrimp inside sambal?
That tofu is not really vegan. It's made from egg and not soya bean. You should have ordered tofu made from soya bean instead or leave it out.
If you want to try malay food there will be at kampung baru..indian food at little india
Love your vlog pls come to kuantan...explore the nature here..still at Malaysia...plsss love both of u
Guys have u been getting highland or Cameroon highland? U should go this place too.
abeden what a coimcidence to met him
Yes! We had no idea who he was until people started commenting 😄
That was egg tofu
We had no idea 🤷🏽♀️ thanks for telling!
We called it "Japanese tofu" 🤭
I'm Malaysian. One of the reason I don't really like Chinatown is that lady's attitude [time stamp 5:25/14:23]. She's was speaking in Cantonese. . . something along the line "difficult to earn your money". Rude of her really.
Otherwise, your videos are fantastic. Not pretentious and as matter of fact. And, I saw many nice and kind Malaysians engaging you guys. Thank you for visiting Malaysia.
Thank you for translating that!
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoy our videos 😊 Yes, we met a lot of nice people 😁
