The Indonesian language was from the same diaspora as the Malay language. They are from the same Proto-Malay root language. However sometime later the Indonesian language came into its own during the Dutch occupation while the Malay language stayed the same. Therefore the language, food and culture is almost identical.
Char koay teow meaning "char" (stir fry), koay teow (type of noodle) has 2 versions : - Chinese version , (Non halal), usually with lard oil and pork sausages with shrimp, and bean sprouts dry and spicy. Traditionaly served on banana leaf. - Malay version (Halal) usually has more gravy and cooked with seafood Apam balik (Pancake) has 2 types : - Thick - Thin Traditionally served with peanuts, butter and sweet corn inside. You can customize it. Famous in Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur - Some places in Night markets you can find variations of it. Usually sold in small stalls in the afternoon or evening that sells 'kuih' and drinks. Enjoy your travels, hope this helps. Welcome to Malaysia, have a pleasant stay :)
It’s the other way around. Singapore was part of the Johor- Riau empire before it was leased to the British. Later Singapore and Johor joined Msia before both Msia and Singapore mutually agreed for Singapore to cede from Msia.
Apam balik is actually a Hokkien desert originated from Fujian China which later spread to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. It's called "Ban Chang Kuih" in Hokkien and is a sweet peanut pancake (you can find it in Penang too). I've never tried one with corn and milk before, and neither pisang goreng with chocolate, guess Indonesian has different variations. In fact both the apam balik and char kuay teow you were looking for are Hokkien foods.
Mertabak in Malaysia is different from Indonesia because in Malaysia is mixed with chicken or beef. In Malaysia it is call Apam Balik not mertabak. Keladi mean Yam. Malaysian food is totally different from Indonesian.
This is the first time I see such watery Char koay teow, learn something new today! Apam balik resembles something we have in Hong Kong maybe 50 years ago, need to try it next Malay visit.
In Malaysia and in every state there's a foods market called "Pasar Malam" which translate to Night market. Do a research which place they're opened because everyday the night market changes places. There's also another version of Apam balik and it's called Apam balik mini, its crunchier than the original one. And you guys has to try Malaysian traditional kueh ( Malaysian sweets) also can be found in night market and various places.
😅char kway teow is a original Chinese dish whislt the Malay dish are spicier. There are a variant of CKT in Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Penang. The Chinese Penang one are the best. If you are non Muslim you could want try the big prawn pork lard, variant, it's super super good.
The Purple drink you guys got was in fact a small sweet potato that is common in Asia. It is especially found in Filipino food. They make Pie and desserts out of them. Mc Donald Philippines, actually sells a Pie made from them. They are very good just baked and eaten with a sprinkle of salt!
Keladi in english is called Yam or Taro, it is root vegetables..There is various kind of Yam like Purple Yam & Africa Yam(Yellow & White Yam)... In evening in Malaysia usually from 2pm until 6pm, after 6pm we called night... 😊
Remember, most of the workers in Malaysian restaurants are foreigners who hardly speak English. Their knowledge of local names of food is also limited.
Both of you guys are loving couple, entertaining to watch, teasing or compete each other who makes the right choice n smiling all the way which makes me smiles watching your antics..for your info..most malaysian speaks fluent english at least n those who barely speaks english are not Malaysian..they are employed to work as an employee to Malaysian Employer..Greetings from Borneo Sabah East Malaysia My home state..cheers
They do not know malay cook kway tiaw differently. Also popiah , malays prefer to fry. Chinese popiah is wet and fresh as and when ordered only. The skin is thin, so no way it can be prepared in advance like a bun or cake shop
@@keangwooichoo6138 The joke is why call it char kway tiaw when it is, what you said, kway tiaw teng? Let’s not mince words here but that would be extra confusing for foreigners wouldn’t it? I do hope common sense would prevail in Malaysia and not everything “Malaysia boleh, Malaysia boleh”. I’m very concern that it would become Malaysia tak boleh.
@@funnydiecast664 perhaps that malay guy fry the flat noodles, and then pour soup to make 'yin yong' or 'wan than hor fun' style. I work in a hotel, they like char kway tiaw wet by pouring water into it. So it will be very soft soggy.
In Malaysia we call it Apam Balik but in Indonesian they call Murtabak Manis. Same food but diffrence name. You can got easier Apam Balik in every pasar malam ( night market ).
@bhimsensaru4796 my biggest question to immigration and police, why are myanmarese and indonesians allowed to sell or open shop in johor baru. They are not allowed. It is health risk as they never do injections in their country.
Just came across your videos. Wondering where are both of you now? Actually Singapore used to belong to the Sultanate of Johor. The British recognised Tengku Long (later Sultan Hussein Shah) as the ruler of Johor and signed treaties with him to allow the British to set up a trading post in Singapore.
U guys travelled all the way frm SA.. endend up in JB and had to try apam balik made by Indonesians.. 😄😄😄 What u guys tried is by workers at stalls... Authentic... U need to find a "pakcik or makcik" usually who operates by roadside or certain night markets... Happy hunting guys.. btw malaysian apam balik has got 2 versions ones which is thin n crispy.(original malaysian).. and the other which is thick ...
The "Char Koay Teow" is Very Saucy, The Original "Char Koay Teow" from Penang is a Dry Fried Fried Flat Rice Noodles with anything you like , e.g. Shirmps, Chicken, Pork, with Chinese Sausage and Duck Egg.
Hai guys i've watch your video about the southern most point of continental asia in sentosa..well if you guys are still in johor bahru you guys can visit the real southern most point of continental asia in Tanjung Piai not that far from Johor Bahru
Oh! You guys are from S. Africa, no wonder have a different accent when you speak English. Interesting! A long way from Home to Asia. Enjoy the traveling! 🤭🤗
Of course Indonesian and Malaysia gonna sound the same. Indonesian language originated from Malay language which official language of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. And Murtabak and Apam Balik are different things. We are not claiming these foods ours hence we know the origin of the dish Apam Balik is actually a chinese dessert that originally sold by Chinese hawker but gradually changed to Malay hawker. The name is translated to Flip Pancake which refer to the technique Murtabak is actually a middle east/Indian cuisine and it is the original name. Malaysian didnt change anything about the dish. Indonesian however confuse the dish with Apam Balik. They are known to get the name of imported dish wrong. lol Char Kuey Tew is Chinese dish that usually dry like Mi Goreng. But the Malay version is different because it is wet with a lot of gravy.
You guys should have googled for night markets or "pasar malam" in Malaysia. There are tons of night markets everyday. When you first pronounced apam balik it was slightly off hence the first person didn't understand😂The char kway tiao is actually a chinese hokkien name i.e. it is actually a chinese dish. So you were actually trying a completely different dish.
Both Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malaysia are basically the same language. Bahasa Indonesia has Dutch and Malay has many different languages mixed in. About 220 million people can speak bahasa natively, that is higher than both Japanese and Korean combined. :)

You will find apam balik at street food places or morning and night markets anywhere in Malaysia.
This is the first time I see such watery Char koay teow, learn something new today!

Yeah.. Finally you got it.. She was so kind at the end of the video. Keep rocking guys ❤🎉
You should try also authentic Chinese version CHAR KUEY TEOW and APAM BALIK, give you different surprises!

Mc Donald Philippines, actually sells a Pie made from them.
They are very good just baked and eaten with a sprinkle of salt!
those colourful drinks are mostly just flavoured syrup and colouring and with lots of sugar added. I would avoid them to be honest.

When you’re referring to char kuey teow, only the Chinese version comes to mind. More chances to try them out in KL and Penang!

"apam balik" is not a main dish for the local, hence it is not widely available. it is a dessert
yup. it's a snack/street food

In the char koey tiow is not spring onions but flat garlic chives. Western chives have a hollow inside
It is normally written as Char koay teow. But I spell it thus to help Westerners pronounce
Mertabak in Msia is pan bread with chicken or beef inside
U must eat Mee Bandung, Kacang Pool, Mee Rebus, Nasi Ambeng, Murtabak when u at Johor
