It was probably the most epic way to meet, with your partner yelling IT'S FLORA AND NOTE! 😂 It was awesome! Hope you're learning lots and getting ready to start your channel soon :)
Penang looks very interesting. I'm enjoying your southeast Asia tour. Nice to see beyond my usual travel area of Japan, China and Korea. The cold drink in a bag was fun. Thank you enjoyed the vlog.
I’m so happy to hear that you like Penang, Malaysia 🇲🇾. For your information, Malaysia is the top 1 country that Japanese would like to stay outside of Japan 🇯🇵, we can see a large numbers of Japanese moving into Malaysia and the numbers keep increasing year by year. Most of them are staying at Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia 🇲🇾 and Penang as well. Hope to see you visiting Malaysia in one day! 😊
@@kianyaotang5171 online travel sites in Japan are filled with references to vacationing in Malaysia. Many many travel vlogs on Japanese visiting Malaysia and having a great time. Well done Malaysia and Malaysians.
Indeed food is a very important part of our lives here.. many like myself travel all over the country just for food.. that's why you see different cities each famous for some different food.. Penang is definitely Char Kuey Teow..
Yes, l live to eat. Was in Penang some twenty years back. Put on two extra kilos. Now l am thinking of going back on a visit just for the food and the history. Wow!
Hey both! The trishaw uncle is a total rip off!!! Really pity u guys! My apologies to both of you. As a Malaysian, this is not showing our true hospitality. Hope this didn’t turn u off guys. Please enjoy yur time here though! From Shah
There’s no need for you to come at us. We didn’t give him a hard time and we paid the full price even though he only delivered 10 minutes instead of 30 minutes as he promised. We also didn’t tell people NOT to ride rickshaws, just be more prepared so they don’t make the same mistake we did.
Your replies are that of a child with no social life. Flora and Note are good people, which is why they vlogs have already made them back the 50 ringgit u r still complaining about. U r a clown 🤡
Hi Floral and Note, first of all welcome to Penang! I’m so sorry for the trishaw bad experience, such a shame as a Penangite. Hope that our government will look into this issue seriously and This issue has been continuously happen! We would love to have you guys back to Penang soon. ❤❤❤ And a big Thank You for showing beautiful side of Penang. In Penang, we have so much more places, food and activities to explore. I really enjoyed the vlog! Have a safe trip always! ✈️✈️✈️ #Penang #Georgetown #PenangGovernment #trishawissue #shame #tourist #badexperience #floraandnote
Thanks to Flora and Note,now everyone could recognise clearly one very dishonest trishaw rider. Really nice video,Penang is also one of my favorite place to visit.
I am so sorry on the rickshaw ride. I really feel bad this happened on your trip. Anyway, hopefully it didn't spoiled your mood. Have a wonderful day guys.
You are so polite and kind. Please don’t feel sad, things happen. As a Thai subscriber of F&N I totally appreciate your apology and don’t blame Malaysia at all. Please do not worry. 🇹🇭❤️ 🇲🇾
@@SamFournier Hi, hope to see you paying a visit to Malaysia 🇲🇾! Please put Malaysia in your travel bucket list, I guarantee it will be one of the best decision you’ve ever made! Nice food, great scenery, various cultures/ religions,... awaiting you to come and explore yourself! Let’s start exploring Malaysia by watching Flora and Note‘s Malaysia tour videos to begin your adventure😊.
Penang is popular for street food like Hatyai.. Yes, Hokkien is a major spoken dialect unlike KL or Ipoh people speak Cantonese. And Penang Hokkien accent is different from the southern region. What both of you ate 'cendol' is the green like noodles is actually called cendol. Penang is a food paradise. Enjoy!!
Flora and Note are the best couple RUclipsrs that I love watching all of their videos. Such a beautiful new Malaysia. Flora and Note you both do such a wonderful job with the pacing of each video, and the videos are classic. Also how do I donate my $150 to you're channel?
Aww Dominic you're too kind, please keep your $$$. You're already helping us a lot by watching and commenting on all our videos. That means the world to us! Thank you 😍🙏
The ‘salted caramel’ taste in the cendol comes from gula melaka, which is palm sugar. Y’al should try going up to penang hill, visit some durian plantations and try the red prawn durian (in season maybe in may-June) and Batu Ferringhi (a beach). Chew Jetty is also a unique spot in Georgetown too.
@@FloraandNote Red Prawn towards sweetness; Black Thorn most expensive even than Musang King, but B.T. lighter texture, taste not as heavy as Musang King; I would go for Musang King for better texture proportion of dryness & wet, and strong bitter with light sweetness taste.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video Flora & Note!! My husband and I have never been to Malaysia but after watching your Malaysian series, this country is now on our bucket list:) It’s a pity that some people would rip people off😱 We had a horrible experience in Bangkok’s China town involving a duck dish😱 Take care & safe travels to you both 😊
By the way- my husband and I were just in Koh Samui a couple of weeks ago and was hoping to bump into you two but didn’t have any luck 😬 We hope to one of these days! We’re now back home in San Francisco!!! 2 more years, we’ll be moving to Thailand 🇹🇭 We cannot wait 😉
We're so happy you're adding Malaysia to your list! We love it so much and planning to come back during the Samui rainy season 😂 Hope we'll run into you next time you're in Thailand!
Hiya Flora and Note. I hope you are both keeping well. I am a little behind, so I am catching up now. Great to binge-watch your videos. Always good vibes. Things happen for a reason. Looks like you found a great place. Great that eateries share premises. Great for them and their customers to have lots of choices. Your food looked good. Great drone footage. Thank you for the lovely tour around. That was a little short for the price. Great advice to others. Beautiful video. Have a wonderflo Week.
Hai , Floral and Note, have you thought of coming to Kuching Sarawak? If you have not, give it a try which I am sure you will truly enjoy some of the best food from Sarawak
Such an amazing video showing you both enjoying Penang food, the walk around and the trishaw ride. Instead of Cantonese, Hokkien is widely used in the Northern states (Penang, Kedah, Perlis) Great content and drone footage is epic. Thanks for posting, Note and Flora.
Hi Flora and Note, happy seeing you both enjoying the delicious food in Penang! If you can, should try visiting my beautiful hometown Taiping, where it is just a one and a half hour's drive from Penang. It was voted 3rd most sustainable city in the world in 2019! It is a quiet and peaceful town and has one of the most beautiful lake gardens in the country.....come and explore....
I enjoyed this video and learned so much about Malaysia local life through this series. There seems to be so many nice and welcoming people, until that rickshaw ride guy shows up. That was unfortunate, you even paid full price! His gold watch must have been moving forward too fast 🤔. Well, better luck nice time. Be careful and I'm looking forward to your next video. BTW, this is the second time(different country) you got scammed on a ride, better not be the third, lol.
Haha we also hope there won't be a third! We thought having a camera in hand might deter people from doing that but I guess not 😬 It's such a minor incident though, that it doesn't take away from the lovely experiences we've had in Malaysia ❤
I will bargain first and ask where is he going. how long it will take is immaterial to me because they are cycling around. Or I will not pay 50 if I find out it is a short distance.
Yup. Mandarin is even taught in schools (in Malaysia and Singapore) instead of Cantonese or Hokkien. So if you don't speak either Cantonese or Hokkien, but as long as you know Mandarin, you can pretty much get around in most parts of Malaysia that have significant Chinese populations since the majority of them will know Mandarin in addition to their native dialect. However, there are many amongst the younger generations (such as myself) who only know Mandarin and not so much of the other Chinese dialects. I can get around well in Mandarin, but my Cantonese is pretty bad and my Hokkien is non-existent, despite being primarily of Hokkien descent myself.
Your videos have improved immensely, really top quality! Just got back from KL yesterday, kinda bummed that I didn't visit Penang (altho I did go to Kota Kinabalu/Sabah). What's the best place you've been to in Malaysia so far?
Thanks so much! I think we enjoyed different cities for different reasons ..KL and Penang are always fun and are great for foodies but Ipoh kind of blew us away. It was very laid back, charming, has a good balance of nature and super delicious Cantonese food.
Although I think the trishaw ride was a bit expensive, and you could have haggled a bit and also asked him where exactly he was taking you... times have been hard for the trishaw riders since the pandemic, many of them were sleeping in the streets with no business during the lockdowns. So thank you for helping them out, don't take it too hard as being scammed but just as your kindness helping out a fellow human being. Great videos!
@@zhihui8885 it's not a scam. A price was quoted and it was accepted. In Malaysia prices are open for haggling, that's why it always starts higher and the onus is upon the customer to request a lower price. It's common practice in shops too, but not at bigger retail outlets.
@@zhihui8885 they don't scam you in Singapore? Hmmm you should try shopping at Sim Lim Square and Chinatown. You need to haggle on prices there too to get the best deals.
Love your videos, Flora and Note! Will be going to Malaysia soon and will definitely check out some of your recommendations. Unrelated, but what is the name of the last song that starts at 12:20 in this video? I can't seem to find it anywhere! Thanks, and keep making great videos!
😅 i forgot that Penang is mainly Hokkien. I don't speak Mandarin, so when I first went to Penang, it was so cool I could use Hokkien there, albeit some minor differences. And when I travelled down to KL, I was completely lost as I don't speak Cantonese 🤣
My advice is...if you take a rickshaw or tuk-tuk in any country, expect to be ripped off. These guys don't want nor care about your returned business. I'm sorry if I sound rude but it's always been my experience. It's a fun experience until they do something like this, ask for more than what they promised or take you to places you didn't ask to go to. They're worse than the taxi drivers.
You guys forgot to visit Batu Ferringhi (don't buy the stuffs there, the price is more expensive), Ayer Itam for it's food market in the morning and also Kek Lok Si temple and to Seberang Penang, which is across the sea to Butterworth and Bukit Mertajam. 👋🇲🇾😊
At first i was like Omg , that’s expensive RM 50.00 , maybe they gonna show many place and than suddenly the uncle stop hahaha. How kind both of you. I don’t think thats enough trip for RM 50.00😝 never been to penang anyway but my gonna go there because of fooodd
It's amazing here! The only downside is the weight gain from all the yummy food. But you can balance it out by walking and exploring all the street art in George Town 😂
You will find different parts of Malaysia, Chinese people are using different spoken dialects. Hokkien in Penang, Cantonese in Ipoh and KL. Mandarin is taught in school as the Chinese syllabus.
Yup, I fell hard for Penang!!!! Hard enough to sign up for the MM2H visa!!! Bye, bye San Francisco/Bay Area.....hello Penang!!!!! We, are going to have a blast spending our US dollars there!!!!!
@@FloraandNote Hey Flora and Note, please give us more Penang videos before both of you moving to the next destination 😂 . I couldn’t get enough of those-people-exploring-Penang videos, I always curious on what are those attractive Penang things/ places/foods that international tourists find interesting which I totally missed out. By the way, I am Penang local people. 😅 Again, please keep exploring Malaysia as it really is a hidden gem 💎 that nobody noticed of when comes to international level speaking. We, Malaysians think that our country is beautiful, and we hope to share it with every person in the world, so glad to knowing that you both are happy at Malaysia in general. Thank you for loving Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤ once again! 🙌🏻
The Teochew chendul dessert, try the stall across the famous one. Because they still do the green noodles the authentic way- whereas the one with long queue doesn’t. The small stall across tastes much better. :)
But the one across don't taste as good, anyway most foreigners will feel the difference. I used to eat from this more popular stall but at their proper restaurant just a minute or 2 away, no need to queue there
If you guys have not explore EAST Malaysia-Sabah and Sarawak States in Borneo continent you might adventure in the big surprise. Welcome to real Malaysia in Sabah & Sarawak.
2:42 uncle Chan moved to ivory Tower. It's my favourite CKT as well. His curry mee is also delicious. Here are a couple of videos of uncle Chan. ruclips.net/video/woTZYzrmNco/видео.html ruclips.net/video/uB1-0Beha2g/видео.html
As a Malaysian myself I never tried the trishaw because some of them may be over priced. But based on the video it seems there is a language barrier, but a 10 minutes ride should not be Rm50. Rm30 is reasonable.
Was so awesome meeting you both! So impressed that your 'on screen' openness and friendliness transfers 100% to real life... Champions.
It was probably the most epic way to meet, with your partner yelling IT'S FLORA AND NOTE! 😂 It was awesome! Hope you're learning lots and getting ready to start your channel soon :)

In Penang state they spoke Hokkien dialect.
In Kuala Lumpur Cantonese dialect.

Yes, we use the Mavic Mini 2 drone :)
To Malaysia , chendul/cendol means that green jelly .

@@FloraandNote Hey Flora and Note, please give us more Penang videos before both of you moving to the next destination 😂 . I couldn’t get enough of those-people-exploring-Penang videos, I always curious on what are those attractive Penang things/ places/foods that international tourists find interesting which I totally missed out. By the way, I am Penang local people. 😅
Again, please keep exploring Malaysia as it really is a hidden gem 💎 that nobody noticed of when comes to international level speaking. We, Malaysians think that our country is beautiful, and we hope to share it with every person in the world, so glad to knowing that you both are happy at Malaysia in general. Thank you for loving Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤ once again! 🙌🏻
thanks
Penang old building same like Kuching City old building too
I feel sorry you were overcharged for that rickshaw ride I've refunded you the balance on behalf of the old man 😌
Thank you so much Vivian. It was just one bad experience. We still love Malaysia and can’t wait to go back 😊❤️
Hi frinds which coumtry are u from originally. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I M FOM KK Sbah East Malaysia
Number one
Thank you Kitty!! 😍

Man.. that rickshaw guy was a bummer of your Penang trip
Hi guys how did you get to Penang from KL?
We drove from KL 😊
the plastic bag beverages style, we call it "Ikat Tepi" = tie at the side (in our local language)
The Teochew chendul dessert, try the stall across the famous one. Because they still do the green noodles the authentic way- whereas the one with long queue doesn’t. The small stall across tastes much better. :)
Ohhh nice to know.. we'll give it a try next time. Thanks for sharing
But the one across don't taste as good, anyway most foreigners will feel the difference. I used to eat from this more popular stall but at their proper restaurant just a minute or 2 away, no need to queue there
Sorry guys for the bad experience from the rickshaw ride.
🤭😋l like everything you eat in this video, oh, you didn't eat the 煎蠔. I like that too
Hi, where did you stay when you were in Penang?
We booked an apartment in Straits Garden Suite in Jelutong area

2:42 uncle Chan moved to ivory Tower. It's my favourite CKT as well. His curry mee is also delicious.
Here are a couple of videos of uncle Chan.

Aww man we missed out! We'll look for him next time :)
As a Malaysian myself I never tried the trishaw because some of them may be over priced. But based on the video it seems there is a language barrier, but a 10 minutes ride should not be Rm50. Rm30 is reasonable.
You should eat Malay char kuey teow. It taste different.
2nd char kway tiaw..omg
😂😂😂
Nice video
