I have heard so much about Betong ... usually its the nightlife. I am so happy that you have manage to share great food found there. This is indeed something to explore when the timing is right to visit . Thank you so much for sharing !
Phan here. Betong will always bring back fond memories of our travels there with friends from my LB days. We have visited there 3 times but from what i have seen from your videos nothing much have changed. Please convey my regards to Danny. I left LB not long after he left. Hope to see more of your food videos as they are a good guide for us to look for our favourite foods. Best regards from Phang.
Betong,beautiful place like the slow space in the afternoon really change a bit, been there last 2018 w/my bros n friend,loved the pub n the beer,message parlour, my time,rate rm1-10 baht,now rm 1.40 to 10 baht,but still better then s,pore,the people there r very friendly,3 days always boh kau,might go there this time w/my cousin in july,yr reporting always bring back memories.
U r so right Elmo. The coffee shops foods & drinks simply increase after increase. The government should sound warning to them not to increase disproportionately to the increase in the ingredients cost. Good u call them out!
Elmo, I really enjoy your channel and all the hard work you put into your videos. Thank you for the Betong video, I just came back from Hatyai and now after watching your Betong video. I will have to go check this place out. Great job. I was wondering if you can do a video on good food that is good value. I know of places that still keep prices low so clients can afford eating out.
It's a good discovery and it's also something different from the other episodes. I felt that it's a very refreshing place at this Betong Food Haunt chapter. I guessed the cookings are slightly oriented towards the South Thailand wind but still have our local flair infused to the food. What a spread of delicacies shown especially on the special dessert sold there. Yatt Lau !!! The Tilapia ( Fei Zhou ) fish looks invigorating - served steamed style with "pakyau yau ". Mou Tak Deng !!!! I would have to agree after tasting our local durian - it's difficut to accept the Thai Durians, it's just like comparing a buffalo calf with a mosquitoe leg. Thank you Elmo and (also to Danny) for showing us all these new frontier food and making it an enjoyable and mouth watering episode again !!!! 👌👌👌
Lui's Kopitiam which featured in your Jalan Ipoh video, their pricing is ridiculously high ...small hot hainanese tea cost RM 2.70 😢😢😢 .... anyway after watching this Betong episode I shall plan a trip here one day. My last trip was like 8-9 years ago
They serve the whole Pork Knuckle with that dish? The best Pork knuckle I tried Chinese (Hokkien?) style was in the corner Restaurant in Damansara KIm (dont think they have that dish there anymore).
Actually increase in price of food, especially hawkers, is due to greed. Fuel and utilities remain the same. Though raw food has slight increase, their prices are quite universal throughout the country. The only thing left would be rental. There's a vast difference in rental rates between shops to government warong. But have you notice? Prices for food ain't any different between hawkers food in a coffee shop or at a make shift MPPJ warong or any open stalls? And for the sake of comparison, there are still tons of hawker food in Penang island that are still charging RM5 a bowl. In Klang Valley, we don't get any eats below Rm9 ! The only difference in cost between these 2 cities is rental cost. And to be frank, real estate and rental in Klang Valley is down the hole at he moment. Does it make up so much in hawker food price? We are eating home week days. When we're out on weekends, we are very selective with where we'd eat. With the current pricing situation, we find ourselves eating more at proper Chinese restaurants rather than hawker food. The restaurants don't cost much more than hawkers these days while the nutritional value, cleanliness, service quality are all light years better than any hawker food.
19:00 Why need ro compare with Ipoh's kopi? Ipoh is famous for white coffee... For normal/traditional coffee, many places outside ipoh are as good if not better. Is that shop selling kopi or white kopi ?
haha... now we can see how Elmo expression when the food & beverages are so so and not delicious . He will show 👌🏻 if the f&b are delicious and just smile 😊 if the f&b are so so 😄😄
To be honest chinese hawker are the worst. Simply raise the price multiple times in a year. Nonsense excuse claiming cost increased. Fried rice rm10 ridiculous

Thanks Phan didn't know the LB gang was there, generally betong is still very backward which makes nice
Hi Phang, the library there is interesting too. 😂

Totally agreed
Hi Elmo, thank you so much for this clip. I haven't been there for years since 2015. Nowadays felt abit sceptical to travel 😅
Take a slow drive like me, betong is still nice
@@malaysiafood328 Good morning, yes Betong still the best for eateries and short stay.
This episode very epic..I like it very much 😄
Thanks for the compliment

Thanks yap places with good value is difficult to find but not impossible
11:27 two dishes for 1400bahts(RM180+) very expensive...never go to restaurant where tourists go, go to local eat.
You r right it was very expensive
Subscribe to your channel because of the extra information about the places you feature other than all about food...keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks for supporting Philip

สวัสดีคะ🙏 Hi Elmo Thank you for your visit.
We, Na Baan Cafe, are waiting to welcome to all friends from Malaysia.
Kapunka parin, let's hope more malaysians will come to Betong
I feel those hawkers are daylight robber. Eatin outside RM 13.00 including drink is too common in SJ, PJ, puchong area
Sad but true
😂😂😂 👏👏👏👍😍good info. Great work. Man.😊😊😊
self drive with guide or through agency? Been exploring to go over and a bit concern of being hustle. your thoughts please.
It's pretty safe to go on your own, betong is relatively safe although half the journey is trunk road. Pls drive carefully
i will be visiting Betong from Hong Kong very soon but I am very shocked about the food prices there after watching this😢
Betong mostly caters for tourists
Uncle Lee wah you enjoyed chee cheong chuk ai ya our age eat what we want lah ha ha 😢😅😊
Thanks yeoh sometimes hv to indulge in some nice food
依家inflation真係好勁！
真係好離譜
Good introduction.

Thanks Ravi

That's true prices in pe ang it way more affordable
how long does it take from KL to Betong? And can i go by bus? thanks
I don't think there's a direct bus from KL to betong, u might hv to travel to kuala kangsar and make arrangements from there
19:00 Why need ro compare with Ipoh's kopi?
Ipoh is famous for white coffee... For normal/traditional coffee, many places outside ipoh are as good if not better.
Is that shop selling kopi or white kopi ?
Ipoh has the best coffee. White coffee or normal coffee. It should be standard any coffee to be measured
One of these days, I wish that I can go there for the delicacies.
Yes betong is a nice town to relax and have food
betong其实不便宜，如果比较合艾。。 其实啊，只要离开市区觅食，往往都是美丽的天空~
Betong chicken rice is very nice..
haha... now we can see how Elmo expression when the food & beverages are so so and not delicious . He will show 👌🏻 if the f&b are delicious and just smile 😊 if the f&b are so so 😄😄
Great observation mate
Mr. Lee, how did you book rooms at the Jacky Chan hotel?

What the Americans said about Wuhan Covid-19 .some people in Malayaia followed suit 😜 .
Trust the US to blow everything out of proportion
@@malaysiafood328 what did they blow out of proportion?
What did they say about covid?
Elmo, you can consider mask-off on your introduction, prefer to see more face expression
Unfortunately cases on the rise even school is mandatory now
@@malaysiafood328 situation will be the same when you eat at public places ya..anyway just my small suggestion😀
Betong Thailand is the best foodie place..
Totally agreed
You didn’t try their bird nest soup. Highly recommended.
Yes I missed that
Sorry to ask...is the bird nest soup original?..tried at Hatyai before but not sure is original...
Yes. It is original. The one that in Hatyai I s not. At night, the town is full of swiftlets hanging on the electric cable.
@@stong4764 any way to know the bird nest is original?
Please do your best to balance your diet to avoid the risk of diabetes
Thanks for your concern mate
Take more vitamin C.
Thanks soon I'm definitely doing that
Xhamstar China
who here thought it was bentong, pahang?
LOL but I've an episode on bentong if u want to watch
@@malaysiafood328 i thought u went for a round 2 there, but u went to an even more interesting place
If the food is no good, do not review. Review only good food.
Too bad tis is my style
