  • Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia food tour with ‪@ichangrm‬ . People in Singapore always tell me "food in Malaysia is better". I am skeptical because the food in Singapore is already so amazingly good. I mean, how much better can it be? So I asked Malaysia-based Japanese RUclipsr couple iChang to show me around 3 of their favorite stalls in Selangor/Kuala Lumpur.
    My collab video is uploaded on iChang's channel too! • I teach Singapore guy ...

      The ironic thing is that 80% of hawker food served in Singapore is whipped up by Malaysian cooks with ingredients mainly from Malaysia. For example, the roast meat stall near my place is manned by staff from Ipoh with their poultry and pork from Malaysia. The cai png stall is manned by 2 Malaysians. The chicken rice stall is manned by 2 Malaysians. The ban main stall is owned by a Malaysian couple. The halal Indian food stall is manned by 3 Malaysian Indians. The zi char stall is owned by a Malaysian couple with 3 cooks from Malaysia. So what are people actually referring to when they say Malaysian food is better?

      @@aero.l Totally agree with you. Maybe another 10% China hawker, few % Vietnamese, Thai, Myanmarese, Pinoy and even Banglas. Unlike the hawkers in the 50s, 60s and 70s who cook with their hard work from scratch. These days they just get from mass produced machine made supplies from factories and prepared (not cooked)at the stalls by foreign workers.So most of the so called Singaporean food these days are mass produced factory made. Those were the days I dearly missed.

    I think the biggest takeaway, I gather, is that Malaysians are a bit more generous and willing to treat customers as guests to their home,making sure they're fed well. Here in Singapore the cost of fresh produce and overheads pretty much ensures you have to be creative to sustain a food business.

I've had the opportunity to go at least 2-3 times each year and it really is a hit or miss. Some are amazing while others are mediocre and the rest are just satisfactory. Same with Singapore, there are some amazing food places and some not so bad while others are just there to fill our tummies and never returning there again.

      Having just returned from both Singapore and Malaysia, I agree with your point about traditional hawkers disappearing in Singapore. Singapore food was still great, don’t get me wrong, but my wife (originally from Singapore) felt the food in Penang was more historically faithful to the dishes. And the globalization of some of Singapore’s brands is also not helping. In our travels to Bangkok, we’ve come across Hawker Chan, Boon Tong Kee and Song Fa outlets. Wee Nam Kee chicken rice was in Tokyo. And, again, Boon Tong Kee was in Las Vegas. The chains expanding like that can’t help but to diminish the quality of the food as the preparation gets further and further away from the original vendor.

    Hi, Roti Chennai (in Malaysia) and Roti Prata (in Singapore) are the same. When the South Indians, mostly from Tamil Nadu, came to Malaysia and Singapore they introduced this bread style to us. In Singapore, they call it Roti Prata or just Prata. However, in Malaysia, the locals, Malaysians, call it Roti Chennai as most of the South Indians cooking these Rotis were from Tamil Nadu and Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu thus it became known as as Roti Chennai.
    However, the origin of this type of Roti is Kerala, a South Indian state, an immediate neighbour of Tamil Nadu . It is quite popular not only in the South of India but in other parts of India where ever there is a large population of South Indians, mostly in the capital cities. However Roti Prata or Roti Chennai, is not as popular as Tosai or Dosa in the Northern states of India.

I went to the roti maker asking for roti telur and he said "sorry bro, I don't sell roti telur, there's only roti tampal" which is literally same ingredient as roti telur

Do you know a large majority of Malaysian vegetables are locally produced, with the exception of carrots, cauliflowers, broccoli (Australia/China imported)?

Their chicken itself is ridiculously expensive for a local. U need to realise they have cartels rigging the price by controlling the supply. That's why they needed to do the export ban. If inflation not high, the prev gov would've won the election aint it? But yes on paper somehow they manage to convince that there is no "high inflation".

    Prata/Paratha is flat in Hindi and Canai is in Malay. Will not start food war once we are educated. Sgp and Malaysia really share the same heritage but have evolved with times in our own unique way with our own quirkiness and nuances. I love both Sgp and M'sian food and treat both as variation of shared heritage food. Even in larger M'sia, each state has their own take on food. I love the diversity and variation as it adds flavor to the nation. Keep up the good work and continue the positive vibes for both countries.

    @Ghib Ojisan, just posting here in case you miss it... nasi kandar is also staple food among the Malay and Indian Muslim community in Sgp just like M'sia. There are really good places in Sgp for nasi Kandar. As a person who has lived in both sides of the causeway with family at both sides, one thing that Sgp is different is that the majority Chinese community in Sgp has less exposure to Malay and Muslim community food compared to M'sia. It is just because of the demographics % difference. So coming over to Msia will help enlighten Singaporeans. And vice versa for Malaysians.

    I'm Singaporean but I love Malaysian food. It was really tough when the borders were closed on both sides but now that they've been reopened I've been making regular trips across the Causeway to enjoy the food and do my grocery shopping. It has to be said though, that not everything is better over there. I guess because things are way cheaper over there, we kinda subconsciously convince ourselves that it's better. Lol. I'm sure if food here in SG weren't so bloody expensive, we would be showing more appreciation for our own local cuisines.
    I personally don't cook at home so I'd spend about sgd 20-30 on average everyday just to have my lunch and dinner (and tbh, with that kind of budget, the options aren't that amazing). You sort of get trapped in a cycle of eating the same thing everyday. Spending 90 ringgit a day on food may sound mind-blowing to Malaysians but that's the reality here in Singapore.
    It really comes down to a matter of taste and preference. I haven't found nasi lemak in JB that I've enjoyed better than SG nasi lemak. But I'll gladly admit that the roti prata/canai over there is generally nicer and crispier than ours. Also, I've noticed that as you go further north in Malaysia the food gets even more foreign to our Singaporean taste buds. Take for example the Tempoyak. I know it's very popular amongst Malaysians in certain states like Pahang, but it's not at all common here in SG, even though we love durians. Likewise sotong masak hitam is a popular Malay dish in SG. You can literally find it at any Nasi padang stall, but from my understanding it's not that common in Malaysia especially the northern states. I've had a Malaysian colleague ask me if the black colour comes from kicap (soy sauce) 😂 because he said he'd never had it before.
    I also once ordered Nasi Ambeng in JB and I was surprised that it came with Mee goreng. I'm not going to debate about which is more authentic Nasi Ambeng, but I've never actually seen it served with Mee goreng here in SG. So my point is, authenticity aside, there are many variations or interpretations of the same dishes in both countries so that's something to bear in mind as well.

    Yes! I’m a Singaporean and vouch that Malaysian food are uniquely delicious. The Singapore hawker culture selling street food have many traditional local cuisine are standardised even factory produced sold throughout the island. No individuality no uniqueness in taste except for a few stalls which make the extra effort to create their special recipe. In Malaysia, almost every street food vendors sell their individual speciality and taste vary at different stalls and at every states and towns each food vendors vary in taste and quality. They have abundance of affordable spices to make their dishes delicious. Most food are delicious and cheap. Malaysians are very discerning about their local food demanding freshness and good quality. Many Singaporeans flock to Malaysia to savour their favourite dishes and explore for new discovery.

    Enjoyed this video. Makes me want to make a trip just to have the food. Missed it much. It's true that Malaysians have a heavier palate when it comes to flavours. In Singapore, we have had the healthy eating campaigns pushed by the government and many Singaporeans have been taking less salt, less fat, less sugar for at least 2 decades. Still, our diabetes levels are hitting the roof. Our food is definitely on the bland side but I think it will become even blander as the Anti-Diabetes campaign runs its course.
    You're so funny about the raw egg though. Did you know that mayonnaise is made with raw eggs? And Carbonara sauce is also made with partially cooked egg that stays in liquid form - egg like all proteins solidifies when cooked. Singaporeans also take half-boil eggs which is not fully cooked. Raw eggs isn't really an issue for most of us. 😋

      I like the desserts better in Singapore because they are less sweet. I compared the ice blended drinks in Singapore and they’re already at perfect sweetness level whereas in Malaysia I always have to ask them to not put sugar or make it less sweet and they’re somehow still sweet😂
      I also had Dunkin Donuts at Changi airport and again, perfect sweetness. So if there’s one thing Malaysians need to do is not to go crazy with sugar!
