Chicken "chop" and Malaysian "western" food are actually Hainanese style cooking made for the British when we were colonized. Cheese baked rice is actually a Hong Kong style baked fried rice with cheese topping and usually seafood. Just some trivia I thought you'd enjoy. :)
Yeke mane Tau ni
@@IsmanAriffin95 baca sejarah bro 😂😂😂
I like it when Rachel is honest about the food .
Yes i also agree as well 👍
I love it too hahahahah 🤣 we are a rojak of western chinese malay indian and everything
Enjoyed the review.... Bring the question is there an actual American taste food place in Malaysia
Same
Lamb shank...we have that in Malaysia too. We have food from all over the world. Americans say our KFC is better than in US. Our chicken is fresh wheras KFC chicken is processed and frozen.
You and Rachel are so meant to be. You finish off each other’s sentences. I love watching your videos. Kids are well behaved too. You are Malaysia’s ambassadors.
Also love that they can freely like and dislike stuff
Yes
The way kumaar look behind couple of time before saying is like so funny 😆 he didnt want to critic while the owner watching behind 😆
I love it when your son gave a sincere foodie review without entering his mouth yet.... 😁😂😂
I'm pretty certain Logesh knows this is one "version" of western food in Malaysia. You could get other versions in places such The Ship, Victoria Station, Tony Romas. Then you have the clubhouse versions - Selangor Club, Lake Club...The real deal western food including steak is available at certain specialised restaurants (for examples a few in Changkat Bukit Bintang KL) and at five star international hotels that employ western or western trained chefs.
*Your VLOGS are just getting better and more legit and entertaining and informative after each one episode uploaded sporadically and I luv them all cos you are so creative*
Me'nate Steak Hub...milik anak Malaysia bernama Mustaffa Othman.. Beliau pernah bekerja & belajar di London dlm Master in Butchering & Culinary Arts.. Beliau pernah berkhidmat kepada Ratu Elizabeth & mendiang Puteri Diana......
Malaysianised 'western' food are mostly adaptations of British meals 'perfected' by the Hainanese (Hailam) cooks who used to work as chefs for the British when they were here as colonialists. The famous Hailam tea, roti bakar with butter and kaya, cream custurd pie, sago gula Melaka, steamed chicken rice, sheperd's pie, lamb stew and mee Hailam basah are some of the most savoury eating experiences one can enjoy.
not perfected. Adulterated. That's acceptable too, as long as it's tasty. Juest don't call it western or British food.
0:05 My first "gaji" (paycheck),I treated myself at Chilli's in Midvalley Megamall for their RM50 Steak... that was 20 years ago , and Chiili's is (was?) the "pinnacle" of Western food in Klang Valley 😁
Same. But I went for San Francisco Steakhouse in KLCC. I am not sure if they are still around tho
This happens everywhere around the world. We all have the local adaptation of foreign meals. Still, nice to see Rachel’s take on this. 👍🏼
The Western food here in Malaysia tastes very different from in the US. I've a suggestion here, perhaps Rachel could also do some American Western food at home? Would that be okay too? 😊
Yeah!!!!
yerp!
It just surprised me that Rachel didn't ask what a chicken chop is... lol
When I told my American friends chicken chop, they be like "what's a chicken chop?" "is it a chicken getting chopped?" XD
A fried boneless chicken with a chopstick maybe?
All my life I thought chicken chop is a legit western food, till one day I looked up the recipes for it, and finding zero western chef's recipe. All are recipes from Malaysians or Asians.
Black pepper steak...
@@akmal94ibrahim slalu nya diorang makan pork chop bro sbb tu la xda chicken punya.asian cuma modified untuk tekak islam.hehe
Hahaha this is funny! I never knew that chicken chop is not known to westerners.
Please try at MENATE Steakhouse, please bro. Its one of the local owned steakhouse, very popular and reasonable price.
But Menate is not Malaysian-Western. They have good quality meat, cook to your desired doneness and don't flood the steak with gravy.
Malaysian western food, especially if it is a local brand, has English influence rather than American. The local Hailam people kinda infused Colonial influence and created their western food. America was never part of this influence.
My first experience in Asia’s rank fifth steakhouse was amazing. But very expensive. The steak and rack of lamb I ordered, it blew my mind. So delicious. Total bill was RM1k. Worth the experience…
This is like Malaysian western food at a budget 😂 I would recommend proper steakhouses like The Beato Aged Steakhouse (but of course it’s pricier)
Weird. I went to Beato once and ordered their aged steak, it was flavourful sure but also had a bit of a funk to it. I gave them another go but the funkiness still got to me. I get it, it's a dry-aged ribeye, but well...I guess aged steaks aren't for me. Whatever makes you happy though! 🍖
@@bag3lmonst3r72 Same for me.Aged steak are just not my cup of tea also.Im not saying its not nice.Im simply saying its not for me.Our pallate are differents.So feel free to dissagree..
Its not budget. Its actually hainanese delicacy.
Please google up on the british colonial side .Because years comes by..many go through fusion so many may forgotten the origin
@@cant461 true. He does not know the Malaysian history how this recipes came about. The British love their gravey.
@@soni-soni So I think the correct term should be western/eastern fusion food.I think we have lots of such food here in Malaysia.
Roti Canai originated from India.But u will never find roti sardin, roti pisang etc in India.Those r uniquely Malaysia.
If u happen to find one - the owner must be Malaysian.I used to stayed there for about 4 years.
Same like Malay version of Asam Laksa & Char Kue Tiaw.Its a bit different than the ORI chinese style.
You both have to try Western food at Victoria Station, Bukit Damansara or Jalan Ampang.
Yes, plus at The Ship or Chilli’s - that’s where you get to taste the real western food, rest it’s just localised version of western food.
@@georgesheila6121 I wouldn't say the ship serve "Real" western food though. Still Malaysianised. Chili's is fine. More american or tex-mex style.
I think you should go to Victoria Station... it's the best steak house in Malaysia... It is located at Jalan Ampang... Try their spare Ribs... U won't regret it...
haha. 15% i almost got it right. yes. malaysian western food (eg: steaks, pasta, chops, etc) are... well malaysianized typecasted stereotyped food.but there are some shops that make it much more accurate to american, or british cuisine. but those... don't get really popular with the locals as much. it's like 'haiya, why so few gravvy, i paid big bucks no gravy. walaoweh steak so expensive but inside still pink not cooked. amende ni wei, buat spagheti kering je, apsal sos sikit sgt? ngapa bah ini spagheti aglio olio nda ada ayam/udang. kosong saja bah'. so.... yeah. the 'western' food got 'localized' to fill local demands unless its those specialist irish, english, swedish, american places though that try to keep it as authentic.
the same way i prefer arabic food prepared by arabic descendants or vietnamese food prepared by vietnamese or japanese shop /japanese trained/standard ramen if i'm going for authenticity.
I really like how accurate your comment is! Lol
This is too accurate lol
As a chef. I approve. LOL
Accurate. The Malays or malaysian in general love wet food. That's why most of our food is very saucy. We do love our sauces haha. Hell we Malays even butcher the Char kuey teow by making it super wet because the original char kuey teow is too "kering" haha
'it's not so good. I haven't try it yet' zayzay is so funny 🤣
malaysian western food are derive from British food ,As we know malaysia is a past colonial country so most of these western food are cooked by hainanese cooks who work in the ship ,you tell that to these foreigners including British themselves ,they will not know it because it already changed to suit the local.So for Rachel ,this is something unique as well
Why is the steak chewy? In Malaysia, we cook a thin piece of steak until it's past well done. Cause most don't like to look and eat meat that is even remotely a bit red
I think because most Malaysian don't do sous vide technique. Steaks should always be grilled for just a bit of time, as it was already pre-cooked with sous vide. I see many steaks preparation videos from America, they do sous vide first.
@@afiqazman6615 bukan bro, sebab melayu ingatkan merah dalam daging tu darah and makan darah tu haram dalam islam. Sebenarnya bukan darah, tapi tu lah susah nak explain dekat melayu sbb tk bnyk yg membaca . Aku rasa makcik makcik bila basuh daging lembu tu kalau boleh sampai putih takda merah langsung, goreng ayam pun sampai kering boleh buat serunding
Bcos American like their steaks cooked medium rare. I used to work in American steakhouse & mostly the customers want their steaks (depends on the cut) cooked medium rare or medium. Well done is dry, tough & not juicy.
@@hmn5140 yeah, westerners they are big time meat eaters. So they know their preference of meat well. Over here we consume more carbs like rice and noodles on a daily basis. So our taste preference for meat is different as we like things to be well done and not raw. Yeah it's just preference.
The baby say not so good😂😂the baby never lie..☺️☺️
Hahaha
We call it "fusion"
The chef have to adapt to "tekak Malaysia"
🤣🤣🤣
....but Rachel makes comparison to US probly she's not familiar with intercontinental cuisine
Hi Kumar, Rachel & Fam. If you are still in Msia when you read this, try D'Tavern in Port Klang. It serves Western Food. Menu is not too big, and the food is simple and not pretentious. It's owned by a jovial guy that everyone calls Uncle George. Their lamb shank is to die for. This place was the go-to hang out for many navy sea men in the 90s where many American frigates docked in Port Klang,
I love eating western food at TGIF, Tony Roma's and Chili's . And yesterday I ate frankfurter at Nathan Famous. Honestly for local western house/restaurants I will order nasi goreng. 😅
tbh this is like the budgeted western restaurants in Malaysia, you should’ve been to a more established western restaurants for Rachel for a first timer.
I would like to recommend the Western Style Restaurant, first at IOI City Mall, called NY Steak Shack. Next at Mont Kiara called Las Vacas Steakhouse and lastly, if both of you like to eat seafood, this Western Style Seafood Restaurant might be worth it to check it out, its called The Manhanttan Fish Market.
Its a little bit pricey, but its worth the try.
I feel that western food in Malaysia better cooked at home than to pay alot of money for it outside unless it's a top chef type of cooking
Yeah…reveal everything tqvm mr.and ms. Kumar agree with western food Malaysian styles
I love Rachel’s review. Very accurate.
Lol love to see how energetic you guys making reviews 🤭🤭
I only learned about what constitutes a good steak watching youtuber Guga Foods. Like most Malaysians (prior to youtube and social media), I also treated myself with Malaysian "steaks" slathered in massive amount of brown-coloured sauces and thinking that this is "standard western food".
Hey folks, give the guy a break. So what!!! He didn't actually make a mistake. If you're a home-grown Malaysian, "Chicken Chop" is Kung Foo Malaysian Western mah!. But honestly Bro Kumaar, we have a heck of a lot of western restaurants here that are truly authentic (for some, check out Mr "Missing_Link" below), but could burn a hole in your pocket. To me, I would look at the big picture ... in most of your other videos, you've promoted Malaysia with a warmth that comes from the heart. Heck, people, his better-half even had (if my memory serves me right) Maggie Mee pedas with her father and they survived. Good on Rachel, and oh, to your dad too - great sports. Hang in there people, and stay safe.
I love when rachel being honest with the taste.
We understand, not all malaysian food is tasty. U can give bad review and we understand tho.
Love you guys… recently started watching your videos. By the way, I am from India
When I was in US.. I really missed our Malaysia style of eating especially we eat our western food with chilli sauce. Same even with fast food.. So be it US western food is nicer to me it was lack of that spice hahaha
First like and first comment. Lol. Just love your content!
LOVEEEEE THAT RACHEL IS SOOOO CHATTY IN THIS VIDEO. Like, you go girl! 😂😂😂
I've been living in Malaysia for almost half a year now. Chili's may not be a steakhouse but man does it hit the spot when I'm missing that western style food lol
The waiter is cute😍😍
My favourite for western food is at KAY'S STEAK & LOBSTER in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya. I recommended this restaurant.
Mrs rachel & family may trying to visit Carnivormalaya restaurant for the next treat western food. Let's me listing for you:
1) Carnivormalaya
2) kbb burger & steak
3) MeatAmericanCartel
LOL! Rachel is Talking away ...and ha ha ha Logesh keeps eating and peeking behind him before he makes a comment. Fun review.
All Malaysian western food is: grilled meat of choice, crinkle fries, frozen veggie or slice of tomato/cucumber. And sauce.
Lots of sauce. Lots and lots of sauce.
And extra chili/tomato sauce on the table.
I would argue that the meat is not even grilled. Its just pan fried on a flat pan like the pan you find at a Ramly burger stalls.
Suka betul bila Rachel review pasal makanan. Sangat jujur 🤭
Good content! It is like fusion style western! Interesting. For me same, If I go some Korean restaurant, it is bit different,
For me I am going to review Korean food soon :)
Love your content. Look like spaghetti cheese..ha ha. Nice sharing. 😊😊
when east meet west,we also have nasi goreng USA
Udang Sotong Ayam = USA
@@haryhary399 no lah.. they put telur goreng and stew beef
@@stoneyday558 tu ala thai lah... Kalau ala melayu baru ada udang sotong ayam...
Hahahahahhaha😂😂😂😂…I like both you guys reaction about the steak!!!…As Malaysian…100% agreed with that!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watching Rachel's reaction I am having a good laugh. 😂😂
Probably your best videos. Tq
at my place bangi.. we have 3 restaurant serving western you can try.. 1) me'nate restaurant, can chose any steak and cooking style you want. 2) cartel meat restaurant, a lot of choice western dish and finally my fav restaurant affordable and yet sangat sedap. farm grill house located at section 7 bangi. i dont know we can call it really western style dish, but for me it is like asian fusion western style. sort of.. and there is alot of food for taste bud at bangi especially at saturday pasar malam.we have flee market at night and kajang uptown, a lot is happening there. hope you all enjoy malaysian weather and hospitality. have a great day.
I appreciate Rachel's honesty here.
I like to hear Rachel's view, it new and fascinating
After 15th century, Portuguese, Dutch and the English mainly had colonies in Asia. Therefore we can see many variations of food that have adopted from Western Europe however being influenced by native tastes as well.
We have tony romas, TGI Fridays…just 10 minutes from Klang bro
I need this video. How different our interpretation of Western Food all these while....huhuhuhu
We are the "gravy people" ...
Most of us prefer a 'well done' meat.
Hardly anyone take Raw and Medium meat here.
@@vijay20 Yep. Tried cooking local beef medium rare. They're still chewy.
Rare and medium steak best consume with wine, to hide their staleness taste according to Malaysian la...
We like it "banjir"😅😅🥰🇲🇾
I prefer the meat cooked too. Just because it would be easier to cut the cook the meat medium rare or rare is served. hate seeing the blood oozing out of the meat I am about to eat.
@@malaysiadentist4637 agreed haha
Hai en Logesh... Apa kata kalau you buat comparison hantu malaysia dan hantu orang putih pula. Cam interesting jerrr....
Cheese bake rice is actually pretty common here in western restaurants. You can have them in secret recipe too :).
Japanese call them doria or rice gratin 😊😊😊
@@juneseongmin So it's Eastern food. Someone must have lost his compass or failed geography.
@@DP-zd8fr 😂😅
It's Hong Kong Chinese fusion
Love your content…but i think u shud try in more established western food shops, coz usually the street western food isnt anywhere near actually 😂
I suggest u to try JAHNET.The owner also found MENATE.He used to be a cook at Buckingham Palace.Its might be slightly on the higher price range.But it going to be worthit.I went to their outlet in Ampang. I think they also have branch in Bangi.
A decent meal for two might goes between RM400-RM600.(my range is for steak-since I only order those at western restaurant)
These are Hong kong version of western food in Malaysia, the one you mentioned called shatin chicken, there is a place in hong kong that is called SHA TIN, hope we can bring you guys to a good western restaurant in malaysia while you guys are still here :)
Glad to be here.. 🙂🙂🙂
You should try Mean Mince at Kota Damansara for good western food with burgers and cheesy mozarella sticks!
Kim Gary serve the best Cheesy baked rice (based on my liking). Watching your video at 12am Msia time it make me hungry 😭
Before i watch the video, i tough you will take her to “victoria station” ….. Hmmph..but……
You can go to A&D Butcher and steak at bukit jelutong. Pricey a bit, but worth!
In Malaysia, any food with cheese is considered "western" food. 🤣
Ya la for better price....😊
Nope… cheese + blackpepper = western 🤣
hope u can try our malaysian barbecue (smoked meat) restaurant like meat cartel, pitboy bbq or beard brothers, and share with us how's it compared 😊
Kumaar!! bring her to Beard Brother!!!! it's suppose to be texas still BBQ. i wonder you authentic is it.PPLLEAAASEEE!!!!!
Actually, for a proper steak, try Jake's Charbroiled Steaks near Pusat Bandar Damansara. They have been there donkeys years and as far I know they have had excellent reviews, though price is on the high side. Give it a try and you won't regret it.
interesting video. sangat menarik.
Bring her to Betty’s Midwest Kitchen! 😋
You should try Pak Mat Western lamb grilled. ☺☺
Have you tried the Tony Roma's and Windmill in Malaysia. Maybe you could try that out too 😄.
steak yg dimasak kat rumah jugak yg paling sedap 😂. butter garlic pan seared steak, 4 minit each sides untuk medium to medium well. biasanya beli meat minta butcher potongkan 1inch thickness
If you have the chance to get “kambing bakar, it is served with mint sauce & whipped potatoes (Malaysian style) Super yumm 😋😋
Where, bro?
Bro, bawak wife u try makan nasi goreng usa aka nasi goreng udang sotong ayam
Comelnye kedua dua anak Encik Kumar...mungkin sebab Bininye pun comel kot...🤣🤣🤣
Lulz.. love that logesh looks around every time before he criticise the food 😄
😅
Also next time maybe you can also check out VICTORIA STATION and THE SHIP
for your western meal.
My go to for American cuisine in Malaysia is Betty's Midwest Kitchen in Aman Suria, PJU. While for Malaysian inspired Western Cuisine, my go to would be Kaki Corner in Taman Billion , 56000 Kuala Lumpur. Happy food hunting, peeps
OMG Rachel is sooooooo right... ABT everything.... N Ur too nice with Ur comments my dear, I was cringing when I saw the title of Ur video, I was like noooooooo, esp the baked rice n de soupy steak, I mean I like it, this was my 1st intro to ''western food'',I, grew up with it, I love the chicken Choo, it's a must for me, but having lived overseas , all those food u ate was just.....food ..... Unclassified .... Food lost in de Twilight zone....n thx goodness U didn't order de spaghetti, it's normally unnaturally sweet, it should be dessert.... Hahahaha.... N Rachel, unfortunately logesh is right in de wrongest way, chili's is a steakhouse, for us Asians, sorry, I call it a burger place, I love their burgers, some of my other friends call it the nachos place... It just depends which food stands out to U, n then we call it that, hahahaha! 🤣😅
Bro chilli's is not a steakhouse...rachel is right....you want proper steak , head to prime at le meridien kl sentral for a proper steak....myself and my colleague tried ordering tuna pizza while on business trip in bordentown NJ, and the response from the pizza parlour was just epic
If you are around KL, You guys should try Murni Discovery (Bukit Jalil / Permaisuri Branch) Recommended. worth the price and not pricey!
comel anak2😀
I like that cheese baked rice and Lamb chop with black pepper sauce.. 🍟 is my all time favorite..
That steakhouse in Klang is always crowded every weekend. Haha.. Malaysian western food
You should bring Rachel to Menate
For steak, should go to Jakes Charbroil steak. This steak in Klang steak on a budget. Next time u in KL take Rachel to Jakes Charbroil in Medan Damansara. More pricey, but steak is good.
Jake's the best!
God bless you Kumaar family love 💕💕💕💕💕 from Pakistan
children so cutee
in Malaysia when you put cheese in a dish automatically it became western..🤣🤣
Hi guys, from what you hv described from the menu, that's Hong Kong fusion Western food. Shatin is one of the place in HK. Cheese baked rice is very much HK version of western food.. Lolll
The one that you went to is like fusion cheap-average level western food..
There are "American western food restaurants" and "Higher-end Western Food restaurants" and "Molecular gastronomy restaurants" in Malaysia.
The thing about cheap-average level western food is, many eateries like to use Pre-mix powder, and the steak is usually cooked medium-well done.
Cheesy baked rice is like Chinese Cantonese style from Hong Kong.
Since u are in Malaysia, u should try Hainanese chicken chop, Hainanese pork chop etc..
Never ask for medium cooked steaks in a localised western food place in Malaysia. The steaks are cut too thin. Rare or medium rare is the way to go. If there is no bone on the lamb then its probably a lamb shoulder but yeah it's still different and yes, lamb chops and steaks are rare treats for many of us when we were growing up here.
Chicken chop is so quintessentially Malaysian and I love it. I don't think you can get anything like that anywhere else (well maybe in Singapore but that's a whole other argument altogether!). Every stall has its own twist on the oriental sauce. You should also try fish and chips in Malaysia. Its like nothing in the UK or the USA. Any westerner here in Malaysia should try all of the above though. At least once. It's our interpretation of food in the west. Just like many offerings in US Chinese takeouts taste nothing like authentic Chinese food. Its not like the food in the west but its OUR western food!
There are good steakhouses in the Klang Valley eg Las Vacas (KL) Menate (Shah Alam) Beard Brothers (Tropicana) Chef Ammar Steakhouse (Subang Jaya) where you'll get decent steaks unlike the one you had all drowned in sauces lol 😄
Chili's, Mexican-American or Tex-Mex Cuisine... Black pepper sauce usually for beef... Lamb usually with rosemary, mint sauce etc....
