@@Mat_libi It comes down to personal preference, but personally Malaysian food is one of my favourites. I love Turkish food and Italian is always good, but there's something special about Malaysian food and there are so many different taste profiles available, partly thanks to multicultural Malaysian heritage.
@@snailtravelers The "Kacang Pool" is supposed to be pronounced as "Ka-Chang Pool". Malaysians don't pronounce "C" as "K", we say "Ch" sound. Because I was unfamiliar with the dish when you mispronounced it as "Ka-Kang Pool". Hope this helps.
Definitely go and eat nasi campur (sometimes called nasi Melayu), it is similar to nasi kandar (which actually has Indian origin) just with a lot more local flavour.
Thanks for the recommendation! I will keep my eyes open for that. I watched your beefy burger video this morning, and will try to hit that burger stand next time we're in that area.
After viewing your reactions, I had the feeling that you have sampled the 'wrong' versions of our national food i.e. Nasi Lemak, Rojak and Satay. I am not sure which restaurants or food stalls you had those foods from but they are not the ones that I usually eat, especially the Nasi Lemak and Satay. For the 'rojak', that was actually 'Rojak Buah' - assorted vegetables served with soy sauce (kindly correct me if I'm wrong). The best version of our national foods is usually served and sold by the roadside stalls or small restaurants. These are the places where you can get the best Nasi Lemak, not those sold in grocery stores - even the locals would stay away from them. For Satay, just pay a visit to Kajang in Selangor - the mecca of Satay in Malaysia and you would be blown away with the variety of meats and the thick peanut gravy. Lastly, for a proper 'Rojak', may I suggest you to venture out to Penang and sample her Rojak Mee (also known as Pasembur).
Thank you very much for these recommendations! I think you are right, it's not just what food you buy, but also where you buy it from. Hopefully I will have a chance to taste a higher quality version of these foods from the local stalls.
Huge props for showcasing Malaysia's heritage flavors and dishes in this vlog. Hope you are doing well under the present circumstances here in Malaysia. All the best to your food exploration and discovery in Malaysia, Snail Travellers. Stay safe!
I love most of foods in Penang. I love all the foods that you've tried, they've made my mouth watering and now I'm getting hungry😋😋 I miss my hometown foods actually. I have heard most of foreign visitors considering Malaysia is kinda Foods of Heaven😉 Enjoy your trials~☆☆☆☆☆
Penang Chinese style rojak is what you had. Indian style rojak came with fried dough, few condiments with sweet peanut sauce. In penang this style is called pasembur
Great videos u r making great video. We are enjoying & sharing your experince. I notice u dont like belachan & ikan billis / anchovies flavour. You can try vegetarian Nasil Lemak & Rojak. Good luck .Be safe.

For nasi lemak.. Maybe u can try with prawn sambal or 'sambal sotong' instead of anchovies. I'm sure u will like it. But if not really like spicy maybe u dont like it.. 😅😁
@@snailtravelers the nasi(rice) itself is nice for me bcoz its cook with coconut milk. You shld try go to stall that sell nasi lemak only. There u got variety of sambal n sumtimes got fried chicken also. And u dont have to take the anchovies. (but in Penang i dont know if got nasi lemak stall coz I'm from JB.. 😊😊😅)
Good videos. Yes, ayam penyet is an Indonesias dish. 7:40 showing laksa northern version used fish a lot in the broth - you won't like it. You could try Mee Kari (curry noodle).
When you were in Kelantan and Terengganu, have you taste the Laksam (thick noodle with white gravy sauce), Nasi berlauk Gulai ayam, sup perut (cow tripe soup) and Nasi Dagang?
U should try Laksa, Mee Udang (prawn mee), ikan patin tempoyak, Laksa Sarawak, Nasi Dagang, Rendang, Lemang, Asam Pedas (cook with fish or beef), Mee Bandung, Laksam, Masak Lemak cili padi (very spicy/hot) and drink iced Milo... Many more food but im just tired of typing..hehe
Hello. When you go to other state in Malaysia, the dish rojak is known as pasembur in Pulau Pinang. It is mainly noodles serve with peanut sauces with some other ingredients. You should try it and see what you think about it.
Pasembur is a Malaysian salad consisting of cucumber (shredded), potatoes, beancurd, turnip, bean sprouts, prawn fritters, spicy fried crab, fried octopus or other seafoods and served with a sweet and spicy nut sauce.
Malaysia favourite dish for round table dine-in is steam fish. It is a must have if the budget is there. Order the fish recommended by the restaurant supervisor, you will burn a hole in your pocket. Becareful, restaurant supervisors are very sneaky salesperson.
That green noodle in Cendol is called Pandan. I don't enjoying eating fish either when I was a child, then my taste bud change as I grew up so his two thumbs down for the Rojak & Nasi Lemak became my two thumbs up.
I'll have to look for that version of rojak, I might give it a thumbs up if it doesn't have the fish flavor! Thanks for the recommendation. I was inspired to try many of these foods after watching your videos, so thank you for that too!
The fruits Rojak that you had, it have shrimp paste in it, hence for that fishy or pungent taste in it. There's another different type rojak called pasembur in penang, where's fried fritters of tofu, prawn, coconut and crackers drizzled with thick peanut gravy..and this combination really work well if you have it together with cendol. Oh yes the green jelly in cendol is made from pandan leave essence.
Try Rendang, Lemang, Pulut, Kuih Raya (my favorite is Tat Nanas which means Pineapple Tart) and many more Ramadhan Festival Food, but Ramadhan Festival is not today 😔
Cendol sebagai minuman tradisional khas Indonesia ini dulunya terbuat dari tepung hunkwe, tetapi kini cendol terbuat dari tepung beras, disajikan dengan es parut serta gula merah cair dan santan. Minuman ini memiliki rasa yang manis dan gurih. Di daerah Sunda Jawa Barat, minuman ini dikenal dengan nama cendol, sedangkan di Jawa Tengah dikenal dengan nama es dawet, khususnya Kabupaten Banjarnegara dengan minuman khasnya es dawet "ayu". Berkembang kepercayaan populer dalam masyarakat Indonesia bahwa istilah "cendol" mungkin sekali berasal dari kata "jendol", yang ditemukan dalam bahasa Sunda dan Jawa hal ini merujuk pada sensasi jendolan yang dirasakan ketika butiran cendol melalui mulut kala meminum es cendol.
Rojak : The black sauce is made of squid extract, thats why u get that a tad of fishy taste in it. I love it. Nasi Lemak : can also be eaten with Fried Chicken or Sambal Chicken ..not necessarily with anchovies. My favourite. Nasi Kandar : yes ..love it too. Theres plenty more. Go by the states. Each has a collection of dishes of their own.
Sir, I kindly ask you to try satay and nasi lemak from reputable sources. Both of what you showed don't do justice on the imitations, never mind the real stuff. 😅😅 Hope to have you again in Malaysia in the future. Take care, and safe travels 😁
Try both Dry and Broth BAK KUT TEH. I would recommend you to try a single serving of each if you are eating it with your wife. Both taste very different. However the dry version is cooked with small strips of dried cuttlefish. Thus have a little fishy taste which I can tell that you aren't too found off. Bak Kut teh literally translate to Meat Bone Tea. It's a Malaysian Chinese dish (yes, invested in Malaysia) where they cook pork ribs in a mix of chinese spices and herbs. It's usually eaten with white rice and comes with a dipping sauce (chillies and raw chopped garlic mixed with soya sauce). Besides pork ribs, you can also ask for other cuts such as pork belly, pork knuckle, and my favorite cut is picnic shoulder. Most times, it will also comes with pig stomach and pig intestines. However if you aren't feeling adventurous, you can ask the waiter to exclude those cuts.
For the satay, I think you went to the wrong place to eat. The satay is supposed to come with a bowl of yummy peanut sauce. It will be good if you can get some information from the locals to find a place for good satay (nearest to your temporary home). Otherwise, can always drop by at Kajang for some satay. The one I saw in the video does not even look like the satay we normally have. The satay suppose to come with ketupat (rice wrapped in leaves) and some cucumber and onions, and of course a bowl of peanut sauce. But it seems they did not serve ketupat with the satay as well.
Hi, good choice to taste Ramly Burgers at Rahim Burger stall in Penang. It is my on top spot since it come with a large bread and no nonsense excessive cabbages.
I think what you can't adjust yet is the shrimp paste (belacan) in both the nasi lemak's sambal (the sweet & spicy chilli gravy) and the rojak. Probably you can try the nasi lemak with vegan sambal (no shrimp paste), there are some seller who doesn't add the shrimp paste in the sambal or the rojak paste. You can even learn to make your own rojak paste without the shrimp paste, i think that will help a bit.
Oh dear, a good nasi lemak is good on its own even though sambal kick would make it even better. Sambal are usually made with anchovies. If you went to a restaurant where you allowed to self serve, you can just take nasi lemak rice, omit those sambal and fried anchovies and replace with a delicious dollop of beef or chicken rendang and boil egg. Nasi lemak non fish version.
In order of preference for me: 1. Laksa Johor 2. Laksa Sarawak 3. Laksa Penang No 1 and 2 arent available everywhere but if you get to try them, they are excellent!
Malaysian food are categorized into general and regional . Foods like roti canai, nasi lemak, char kuey teow or rendang are generally found in most states. Then there s the regional - eg laksa - we have Penang assam laksa( fishy) curry laksa , nyonya laksa, laksa johor, laksa sarawak and the kelantanese laksam..each are unique and found in their states. You are right.. you haven’t tried many dishes yet. Chinese - there are many stir fry steam dishes that s delicious. Also noodles like hokkien mee( black sauce type not penang style) , cantonese chao ying yong, loh mee, wan tan mee. I noticed many western you tubers dont feature many Malaysian chinese dishes. There s also chicken rice ball down in Melaka, nyonya bak chang( dumplings), ikan bakar, mi rebus. Keep on trying..plenty more to go.
nasi Lemak comes in quite a few varieties. You mught want to try it with beef rendang or chicken curry. Technically speaking Nasi Lemak just means creamy rice.
U seem to like mamak's food, ramly burger, char kuey tiow so I think u will enjoy most of food here in Malaysia 😊 Also I recommend u go eat proper Nasi Lemak not the grocery ones, they got a lot more variety side dishes, Kampung Baru is one of the place to go if u live in KL
Hi. Lived in Malaysia for several years and my wife is Malay. I would suggest you try Laksa. Each region has its own version. If you are in Penang then Penang Laksa is often considered the best, but my personal favourite is Laksa Sarawak. I know your not keen on Fish but Asam Pedas is a Nonya Fish curry and is very good. There are many great desserts in Malaysia. Ais Kacang is the local favourite I think. Bubur Cha Cha is a really nice Nonya desert (Nonya cooking is great but you have to be in Melaka or Penang to get authentic taste). The layered cake from Sarawak is nice (cake lapis). Malaysian Kuih is also nice if you have a sweet tooth; Kuih Seri Muka is my favourite. Whilst not Malaysian the Portuguese Egg tarts you can buy there, especially in Melaka, are the best outside of Portugal.
Here are some of my suggestions: Rendang, tapai, pulut kuning, ketupat, serunding, serawa durian, kerabu, nasi ambeng, nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, mee kolok, nasi kukus ayam berempah, bubur lambuk, bubur pulut hitam, mee celup, Sup tulang, nasi bamboo, lemang, dodol, nasi ayam, air katira, ayam panggang and don't forget, we usually take breakfast with variety light food call 'kueh' . Usually can be found at small stall from 6 am to 9 am. If you're lucky, you can enjoy our fruit season with variety of fruits to taste. In fasting month, our tradition is to open bazaar Ramadan that sells many types of food, some are hard to get on the other month. 👍 😊
@@snailtravelersi pronounce Cu Chi tunnel in ho chi minh as 'chuchi' and said ceviche as 'kevich' the first time i read it..hahaha so no worries i understand.
if both of you still in Penang, do check out the outlets and food recommended by Greg and Jumi, Puri and Sue, A Train Travels , Moonshine and Lemongrass for some nice affordable street food options..I will also go try out if I get to visit Penang .there are also other vloggers too that had recommendations ..of course both of you too have recommended nice food outlets that worth mention and visiting.
Rojak sauce is made of fermented prawn paste hence the "fishy" smell that you might taste it needs the sauce to be rojak so its not for you. For rojak, there's versions of them using fruits and some others with chrunchy crackers. Satay isn't just about the meat that is BBQ over charcoal but the most important for me is the peanut sauce haha. You might wanna try it with peanut sauce if you have not. I personally think Asam Laksa also deserve a top spots but its not going to be for you as its fishy, spicy and soury haha.
I haven't try Tesco version but from several brand of frozen roti canai I had, 'Kawan' brand is the better one. www.kawanfood.my/products/roti-paratha-original
Sebuah cerita mengatakan sate ada di Indonesia sejak abad ke-15 dibawa oleh pedagang Arab di tanah Jawa. Selain mengenalkan Islam, mereka juga mengenalkan budaya kuliner setempat yang kemudian diadaptasi oleh orang Jawa menjadi sate khas orang Jawa. Versi lainnya mengatakan bahwa sate berasal dari pedagang India. Indonesian food
To me if yu cannot eat the nasi lemak cos of the fish flavour yu have option eat with spicy fried chicken as many msian did who cnnot eat seafood actually char koe teow also got seafood like shrimp n squid just let know
Sejarah Ayam Penyet awalnya dari Ayam Bakar Wong Solo, menu ini hadir sebagai variasi dari menu yang ada di Ayam Bakar Wong Solo. ... Tetapi semakin terkenal saat Orang Surabaya menjual ini dengan nama Ayam Penyet Surabaya. Indonesian food
That satay doesn't looks like the usual satay. It looks like some fried chicken on a stick lol. And with rice?? >.< Satay should have marinate so when it's grilled, you'll have nice juicy meat. You eat it with peanut sauce. And on the side, they usually serve cucumber and nasi impit (mashed rice that formed like a pillow)
I'm a Malaysian but trust me I have been to 83 countries in the world. Malaysian food is just unbeatable.
Agree
Correct. And don't anyone say, Singapore is on par or better. It's not.

Most times, it will also comes with pig stomach and pig intestines. However if you aren't feeling adventurous, you can ask the waiter to exclude those cuts.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed comment. Bak Kut Teh sounds delicious and I will definitely look for this!
@@snailtravelers this is how it looks like. ruclips.net/video/fNiKHYFfnf8/видео.html
For the satay, I think you went to the wrong place to eat. The satay is supposed to come with a bowl of yummy peanut sauce. It will be good if you can get some information from the locals to find a place for good satay (nearest to your temporary home). Otherwise, can always drop by at Kajang for some satay. The one I saw in the video does not even look like the satay we normally have. The satay suppose to come with ketupat (rice wrapped in leaves) and some cucumber and onions, and of course a bowl of peanut sauce. But it seems they did not serve ketupat with the satay as well.
Definitely the wrong type of satay. That is not the traditional type of satay. Please try again.
Haha i love the awww thumbs down sound effect . Its ok everyone have their own taste 😁👍
Satay....👍
Must try Laksa too... especially the Penang Laksa 🌹
Hi, good choice to taste Ramly Burgers at Rahim Burger stall in Penang. It is my on top spot since it come with a large bread and no nonsense excessive cabbages.
Should try
Laksa
Rendang
Bihun Sup
Mee Kari
my fav all time ayam penyet was the one in Merlimau, Melaka. I miss that ayam penyet since now I'm back in Kedah 😢
You should go to Village Park at Damansara Utama for the Nasi lemak....
I think what you can't adjust yet is the shrimp paste (belacan) in both the nasi lemak's sambal (the sweet & spicy chilli gravy) and the rojak. Probably you can try the nasi lemak with vegan sambal (no shrimp paste), there are some seller who doesn't add the shrimp paste in the sambal or the rojak paste.
You can even learn to make your own rojak paste without the shrimp paste, i think that will help a bit.
Oh dear, a good nasi lemak is good on its own even though sambal kick would make it even better. Sambal are usually made with anchovies. If you went to a restaurant where you allowed to self serve, you can just take nasi lemak rice, omit those sambal and fried anchovies and replace with a delicious dollop of beef or chicken rendang and boil egg. Nasi lemak non fish version.
Well, you know, Malaysia is the country with the highest level obesity in Asia if I'm not mistaken.. because we Malaysians really love various food..
U can find a nasi kerabu in kelantan...maybe in penang also in there too...im not sure😅 (english not good)🤣🤣
You may pronounce the kacang pool like this. Ka-chunk pool..
The rojak is fruit rojak.. the gravy was made with prawn paste / petis udang..
The nasi lemak and the satay is not the legit version...find the best vervion of it and u wont be able to resist and will got hooked for life
The rojak sauce consist shrimp & slightly smelly with fishy taste.
The sambal of ayam penyet is my addiction. Can’t live without sambal.
You must try hokkien mee, won ton mee, mee mamak, ayam kerabu
Yess.. Ramly burger always, ayam penyet and cendol.. This 3 my favorite food.. 😊👍♥️🇲🇾
In order of preference for me:
1. Laksa Johor
2. Laksa Sarawak
3. Laksa Penang
No 1 and 2 arent available everywhere but if you get to try them, they are excellent!
Malaysian food are categorized into general and regional . Foods like roti canai, nasi lemak, char kuey teow or rendang are generally found in most states. Then there s the regional - eg laksa - we have Penang assam laksa( fishy) curry laksa , nyonya laksa, laksa johor, laksa sarawak and the kelantanese laksam..each are unique and found in their states. You are right.. you haven’t tried many dishes yet. Chinese - there are many stir fry steam dishes that s delicious. Also noodles like hokkien mee( black sauce type not penang style) , cantonese chao ying yong, loh mee, wan tan mee. I noticed many western you tubers dont feature many Malaysian chinese dishes. There s also chicken rice ball down in Melaka, nyonya bak chang( dumplings), ikan bakar, mi rebus. Keep on trying..plenty more to go.
You should try laksa sarang burung either in penang or ipoh. Its really good 👍
Nice video, tried them all except for Kacang phool, must try that one day. My favourite breakfast is Roti Canai with fish curry.
Thank you Don!
nasi Lemak comes in quite a few varieties. You mught want to try it with beef rendang or chicken curry.
Technically speaking Nasi Lemak just means creamy rice.
You should try laksam, laksa kuala perlis, pisang goreng, kuih ketayap
i think you only probably tried not even 5% of Malaysian foods ! Big thumb for your courage ! keep going
U seem to like mamak's food, ramly burger, char kuey tiow so I think u will enjoy most of food here in Malaysia 😊 Also I recommend u go eat proper Nasi Lemak not the grocery ones, they got a lot more variety side dishes, Kampung Baru is one of the place to go if u live in KL
Malaysia foods heaven
Hi. Lived in Malaysia for several years and my wife is Malay. I would suggest you try Laksa. Each region has its own version. If you are in Penang then Penang Laksa is often considered the best, but my personal favourite is Laksa Sarawak.
I know your not keen on Fish but Asam Pedas is a Nonya Fish curry and is very good.
There are many great desserts in Malaysia. Ais Kacang is the local favourite I think. Bubur Cha Cha is a really nice Nonya desert (Nonya cooking is great but you have to be in Melaka or Penang to get authentic taste).
The layered cake from Sarawak is nice (cake lapis). Malaysian Kuih is also nice if you have a sweet tooth; Kuih Seri Muka is my favourite.
Whilst not Malaysian the Portuguese Egg tarts you can buy there, especially in Melaka, are the best outside of Portugal.
Putu Mayam, Yao char guai (cakoi), dimsum, nyonya/malay kuih for breakfast.
Nasi dagang/Nasi kerabu, yam rice(origin from Penang), indian curry rice for lunch.
Keropok Lekor, putung piring, otak otak, apam balik, muachi, pisang goreng, laksa, popiah during teatime
Hokkien Mee(black noodle), Bak kut teh,
Malay restaurant for nasi campur and nasi kandar for indian.
Special for You: sambal belacan petai, durian! Stinky toufu! Century Egg porridge. Curry wild boar! Hahaha!
Want to try “sweet chicken” aka 🐸
Phew... Luckily u declared Ayam penyet from 🇮🇩 🤣🤣🤣
Yes indeed!
Yea, Snail Travelers almost started a declaration of war there bro. 😂😂😂
Here are some of my suggestions: Rendang, tapai, pulut kuning, ketupat, serunding, serawa durian, kerabu, nasi ambeng, nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, mee kolok, nasi kukus ayam berempah, bubur lambuk, bubur pulut hitam, mee celup, Sup tulang, nasi bamboo, lemang, dodol, nasi ayam, air katira, ayam panggang and don't forget, we usually take breakfast with variety light food call 'kueh' . Usually can be found at small stall from 6 am to 9 am. If you're lucky, you can enjoy our fruit season with variety of fruits to taste. In fasting month, our tradition is to open bazaar Ramadan that sells many types of food, some are hard to get on the other month. 👍 😊
The Nasi Kandar looks so good! THX FOR SHARING! new subscriber here!
Thank you! I just watched your Cartagena video, a place we definitely have on our bucket list!
I AM ADDICTED TO RAMLY BURGER...YUMMY
Me too!! Which do you like more, chicken or beef?
@@snailtravelers ...DOUBLE CHICKEN SPICY...AWESOME
@@snailtravelers beef is better
nice review. kacang is pronounce as ka-chang
Oops, my mistake. It sure did taste good though! Thanks for watching.
in most Malay words, we say "c" as "ch" , not as "k".
Thanks. I recently started Malay lessons but I am still learning pronunciation. Thanks for the tip!
@@snailtravelersi pronounce Cu Chi tunnel in ho chi minh as 'chuchi' and said ceviche as 'kevich' the first time i read it..hahaha so no worries i understand.
Penang is really a food paradise.
if both of you still in Penang, do check out the outlets and food recommended by Greg and Jumi, Puri and Sue, A Train Travels , Moonshine and Lemongrass for some nice affordable street food options..I will also go try out if I get to visit Penang .there are also other vloggers too that had recommendations ..of course both of you too have recommended nice food outlets that worth mention and visiting.
Try Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Dagang, Ayam Percik + Pulut Kuning, Daging Dendeng.
Please come and visit Sarawak local authentic native Dayak's food, so yummy and delicious
Rojak sauce is made of fermented prawn paste hence the "fishy" smell that you might taste it needs the sauce to be rojak so its not for you. For rojak, there's versions of them using fruits and some others with chrunchy crackers.
Satay isn't just about the meat that is BBQ over charcoal but the most important for me is the peanut sauce haha. You might wanna try it with peanut sauce if you have not.
I personally think Asam Laksa also deserve a top spots but its not going to be for you as its fishy, spicy and soury haha.
Can try tesco brand frozen roti canai from tesco, not oily when cook and taste quite good
I saw that in Tesco but didn't buy it. I will buy it next time we go to Tesco based on your recommendation. Thanks!
also with gravy👍
@@budakpokan6165 where can get the gravy of roti Canai?
I haven't try Tesco version but from several brand of frozen roti canai I had, 'Kawan' brand is the better one.

You should try LAKSA SARAWAK!🥳 King of Laksa! 🙈🙈🥳🥳
Sebuah cerita mengatakan sate ada di Indonesia sejak abad ke-15 dibawa oleh pedagang Arab di tanah Jawa. Selain mengenalkan Islam, mereka juga mengenalkan budaya kuliner setempat yang kemudian diadaptasi oleh orang Jawa menjadi sate khas orang Jawa. Versi lainnya mengatakan bahwa sate berasal dari pedagang India.

A burger special with everything throws in cost less than a basic burger in a fast food joint...
Please try Chicken/Beef Rendang if you haven't tried it yet.
Yes, this is definitely on my list of foods I still want to try! Thank you for the suggestion.
Agreed 😄
Lots of great looking foods. Mmmmmm
To me if yu cannot eat the nasi lemak cos of the fish flavour yu have option eat with spicy fried chicken as many msian did who cnnot eat seafood actually char koe teow also got seafood like shrimp n squid just let know
Thank you! 😜
Sejarah Ayam Penyet awalnya dari Ayam Bakar Wong Solo, menu ini hadir sebagai variasi dari menu yang ada di Ayam Bakar Wong Solo. ... Tetapi semakin terkenal saat Orang Surabaya menjual ini dengan nama Ayam Penyet Surabaya.

That satay doesn't looks like the usual satay. It looks like some fried chicken on a stick lol. And with rice?? >.< Satay should have marinate so when it's grilled, you'll have nice juicy meat. You eat it with peanut sauce. And on the side, they usually serve cucumber and nasi impit (mashed rice that formed like a pillow)
