- My first day back in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - It was a stressful one!
The video of arriving in Malaysia ➡ • I Had To Leave Sri Lan...
After arriving in Malaysia, I stayed at an airport hotel. In today’s episode I take you along the journey back to Kuala Lumpur. We check in into my new apartment and later of course get some proper food! I missed the food in Malaysia!
Location of Klinik in Kuala Lumpur where I did the test:

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, currently in Sri Lanka, making Sri Lanka travel vlogs. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.
There will be almost daily uploads on this channel, during the next months from Sri Lanka. I will be traveling Sri Lanka, showing you around local places and try lots of different Sri Lankan food. Join the journey if you are interested in experiencing Sri Lanka now from a more authentic local point of view.

Welcome home bro ..Ur follower mostly from Mesia and sea..😀😀..u want 5 or 6 digit video viewer,..u need to be here😀😀
Regardless of which country youre in, when comes to riding a cab, just make a GOOD HABIT, by checking the seat before getting out 😄

welcome back :)
That hat is part of the uniform
Ah honest cab driver 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'd at least pay him the fare for the distance he had to take to return it (including surcharge since it was post midnight).
Did Ken actually pass up on rendang in favor of a club sandwich??
I gotta have a talk with him lol
Welcome malaysia sir
Pulau pinang is very nice place
Us Farang do have "Western Food" cravings occasionally though !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL! When I heard club sandwich I just face palm too. 🤣🤣🤣
Laksa!
I have been seeing yr vlogs from Thailand ,Sri Lanka & now You are at KL. Try to show me the urban & rural part of Malaysia.Train journey, food vlogs etc. You are a happy go &lucky guy. Cheers.
Watch his previous videos back in 2020 until last year .. he stuck in Malaysia for 1 year due to covid 19... there a lot of videos he made in Malaysia...
Hi.Ken.Welcome back to Malaysia Enjoy your stay here after two years.stay safe and healthy.
A warm welcome to Malaysia Mr.Ken enjoy your trip and stay safe and be blessed 😍👍🙏
Hi Ken. The next time you fell like some good sloppy burger, I will bring you to Ampang Jaya. They serve the best Ramly burger 👍☺️
welcome back ken!!!
Super sedap ken tandoori chicken 😆😁
are 3 of you going to meet up?
When we were in a small town near Kuching in Sarawak called Lundu, we went for some food in a small cafe. I had with me a pretty expensive brand new digital video camera, probably worth about £700 (RM4000). This was 22 years ago 18th April 2000. We walked out of the cafe and went shopping for supplies for our trip to the Gunung Gading national park. After about 20 minutes a guy on a motorbike came shouting around the various squares of shop houses and from his arm was dangling my video camera. I didn't even realise at that time that I had left it. Since then we always visit this town when we return, there are some very honest people arround and was so happy to have the camera returned as I had bought it specially to video my brother in laws wedding.
Malaysians are generally honest people I have experienced that on many occasions in. Malaysia
Good for both of you man 😁 I'm a Malay pensioner, experienced similar occurance, a couple of weeks ago. I hastily strapped my goods on my motorcycle seat, prior to shopping at local supermarket. After 20 minutes ride I arrived home, I realise a pack of half a dozen tissue box were missing, my wife said I'm done, ykwim 😁 anyway I try my luck and returned to the supermarket to 'scan' my recklessness, at the customer service counter, a guard handed a pack of tissue in concerned 😁 an Indian woman found that pack which I accidentally placed it on her motorbike parked beside me, when I fled the scene 😀 she handed to the guard thus put in cs counter desk. It just a small deal, she could just take it away unnoticeable and no..she returned it graciously. I took it as a gesture from God to always be nice, don't easily give up and appreciate the moment beside things. 😁😂😂
The fact that waiter laugh when you order teh tarik is so amusing... You found a your bag, didn't get ripoff covid test and had a good meal. Welcome back Ken
For the accident, you are lucky, the camera is back, it is a good start;
The rooms are beautiful with marble bathrooms and rain showers, which is awesome;
The nurse who helped you to test is very lovely and kind, which is a plus for Malaysia;
You didn't do the test at the airport, it shows that you are a very smart travel expert, thank you for sharing！👍😃👏
對於發生的意外，你算幸運，相機回來，也算是一個好的開始；
他們的房間，已及大理石的浴室很漂亮，還有灑花淋浴，真讚；
那位幫你做測試的護士很有趣，也很親切，這幫馬來西亞加分；
你沒有在機場做測試，可見你是很聰明的旅遊專家，謝謝分享！
Malaysians are generally honest people and some are very innocent well I speak for myself and my experience in Malaysia
This is why I also LOVE Malaysia 🇲🇾! The people are honest , friendly and good hearted. The food #1.
It's incredibly wonderful that you finally got back your camera bag. I could feel how worried and stressful you were when you realised that the bag was missing. Who wouldn't, right? A big "terima kasih" to the airport cab driver as well as the foreigner for your honesty. As the saying goes : Honesty is the best policy"
@@muhammad11ali11 Well, l think l better not comment as it's unpleasant to give a sweeping statement here....very sorry.
I think he is refering to #jetlagwarrior experiencing in Peru
@@runiezam 👌✌️
@@muhammad11ali11 Don’t comment that way. We also have some crimes abound us. Watch out what u say🙏🤲
@@muhammad11ali11 yes it happened to Jet Lag warrior .
Very happy to see you found your camera bag back... thanks to lovely people involved, have a nice time in Malaysia 🇱🇰🇱🇷

Welcome back to malaysia 🇲🇾, people are very kind here👍.
I totally agree very kind people
I was there in Malaysia few years ago..you brought me memories in KL now..enjoy from sri lanka 🇱🇰..
I love Malaysia
Thank you for coming to Sri Lanka, Please come again
hope you have a lovely time in Malaysia.
Welcome back Ken, my 4 year old daughter is thrilled to hear that you're back... She has been following your Thailand and Sri Lanka trips fervently and had always asked when will you be back
I wonder why Ken never eat bak kut teh, cha kueh teow, Hokkien mee which are unique dishes in Malaysia so I am recommending to him.
@@cyber1991 I actually ate all of that although I think not all of that has been in a video 🤔😄
@@KenAbroad
Do put it into your future videos and let us be the judge. I think you haven't really tried Kuala Lumpur Hokkien Mee which is really unique and can't be found even in Singapore. Klang Bak Kut Teh is different from Singapore's Bak Kut Teh.
Also try the claypot chicken rice in Petaling Street.
Welcome back Ken. Friendly reminder to be very very wary of your belongings. Malaysia has been super good to you but that doesn’t mean it’s safe from scammers, fraudsters and thieves. Never drop your guard and take care of your stuffs. Glad you’re back and looking forward for your new adventures.
I agree. 100%. Careful of snatch thefts while walking or those who just pick yoyr phone/bag and run. Even locals will face this. People who don't pay attention to their belongings and surroundings are high risks
Malaysians are generally honest people and some are very innocent well I speak for myself and my experience in Malaysia
In thailand and indonesia many scammers
Thanks ever so much for the reminder
Welcome home 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 Ken Abroad. Selamat Hari Raya 🐱
Malaysia has progressed in the last few years. In 2008 I went to Kuala Lumpur, but now that I see it, it has improved a lot.
The only thing that has gotten worse is the traffic. Its abysmal
@@ayol1011 I doubted that. It gas gotten better in my opinion
@@secrets.295 better how? nowadays everywhere you got stuck in a traffic jam because everyone wants to own a car
Malaysia is a developed country for decades. High GDP.
I m from Thailand anyway.
@nh sometimes being in the same country for a while, you will feel nothing changes..
OMG Ken, now I can go to that clinic to do the rapid test without even searching on Google Maps. You saved my time :D
things to take note, Malaysia has become a bit more expensive than the last time when you came here. All due inflation, covid, wars in ukraine, oil price etc
Welcome back to malaysia..jetlag warriors and travel gammer are in Malaysia too. Any plan for collaboration? Oh ya Hari raya is just around the corner. Hope you will enjoy the festivity..
*Hey Ken ... You have forgotten your favorite phrase: TIADA MASALAH*
Bcoz now he has MASALAH with his camera....hehe
@@mohdzaki1089 *MASALAH setel ... got it back ord*
Welcome back, Ken..its a relief you've got your bag back.
The Jetlag Warriors are in a Negeri Sembilan, a Kampung (near Seremban) with local friends. Good timing to celebrate EID with the locals.
Looking forward to all your videos and collaboration with others. Stay safe and enjoy.
I know the feeling of realizing you don't have the camera bag with you. Definitely stressful. The exact thing happened to me except I didn't found it since I didn't even know where I lost it. Thankfully I had moved the camera into another bag beforehand so it was a rather small loss.
Anyways, welcome back!
I am sure you have thanked the honest driver for keeping your equipment...or even offered him a small reward. Honest people are not always easy to find these days.
He got a big tip yeah 🤙
Ken, I dropped my wallet twice while riding motorcycle in my hometown. And on both occasion, someone found my wallet and I got my wallet back with EVERYTHING intact, not even a single Ringgit was lost. I realized how lucky I am and how honest Malaysian can be :)
Welcome home Ken!
First of all, I think the hospitals are now hardly open for public PCR and RTK test except admission; while most klinik (like the one you went) has it. RM35 is reasonable. Some are still expensive but the prices are coming down.
KL will be quite quiet the next few days because of Hari Raya. A lot of people have returned home (balik kampung) for the celebration. So you will see a more relaxed KL and most like by 9 May it will be super buzzling with traffic jam again.
#TeamAbroad
Malaysians are generally honest people and some are very innocent well I speak for myself and my experience in Malaysia
Try the ginger tea ken ( tea halia ) it’s the most delicious tea I’ve tried since living here in Malaysia 👍
Can see how stressful you were when you realized you did not have the camera bag with you. According to the driver there was a Mat Salleh (English man) who found it at the back seat and handed it over to him. Happy and grateful to see you met honest people on your first day stepping foot in Malaysia. Enjoy your stay!
Not necessarily an English man, any other white guy can be a Mat Salleh. Even Ken himself 😂
Good evening Mein Freund from 🏴
Wow, I'm so glad that you got your camera bag back. You did some great detective work there. You looked relieved to get your test done so that you could relax.
You looked very happy to get your first Malaysian meal.
I look forward, as always, to more fantastic videos. Me and Julia J are so happy to share your travels with you
Stay safe and well my friend
🏴🏴🇲🇾🙏👍
Hi Ken. When you hit KL, try to go to Kampung Baru and look for Wanjo Nasi Lemak. It is an absolute blast.
don't forget to mention Roti John
Leaving valuable possessions like a camera in a taxi or on public transport is something I dread when travelling, but easily done ! It is a horrible feeling in your stomach when that happens but such a relief when you get it back. So lucky that you were still at the airport and not in a city taxi when your chances of not recovering would have been higher. The food looks good and the restaurant very clean. The apartment looks like excellent value for money. Good tip also to avoid expensive Covid tests at the airport ! Enjoy your stay in KL !!
Ufa
I am forgetful too so what I do is a counting my items. Let's say 5. Then I repeat it 5, 5, 5 in mind to "imprint" it. So I make sure I get 5 items to bring with me when I reach a destination.
I make it a habit of NEVER using any black bags. I go for the brightest colors to help me spot the item. If a bag does isn't bright enough I buy those 2 inches ribbons and tie it on the bags. But counting is the best. Second is getting ready and counting again before reaching/leaving a place.
@@izounokuda5461 Great tip!👍
I forgot my camera on the taxi in foreign country too and I beat myself up for it. My friend just told me “Due to lack of sleep, long flight fatigue it can happen to even veteran travelers”. Wow that liberates me from guilt.
Good to see you back in Malaysia, Ken.
Actually, it's not unlimited data. Celcom's Fair Usage Policy (FUP), which is in my opinion is should be renamed Unfair Usage Policy, stated that you only got 100GB of data. Just something you should know.
Agreed. But at 3Mbps, I'm not sure how long it will take to finish the quota
@@mohdk2299 Well my main usage for internet is watching RUclips and movies. If I watched HD videos on RUclips, it will last me 2+ weeks.
I'm not really happy with that Sim card, it was very slow and often no internet at all 😵
@@KenAbroad It's 3Mbps. You can add another RM10 for double the speed to... 6Mbps.
There are also an unlimited, faster option, but that cost RM8/day, and you have to do it manually every time. But that doesn't include hotspot.
Well, welcome to Malaysia.
Hi Ken, I am at Aerotel KLIA2 right now, the hotel staff delighted to see your video (when I showed them). Safe travels
Happy to see you in Malaysia, you promote Malaysia to others...keep it up Ken.
so do I mate always love Malaysia
Welcome back Ken. Hope you enjoy the trip at Malaysia . Keep it up! 👍👍👍
I am sure you must be very relieved when you receive your camera bag from the cab driver. Thankfull that both the cab driver and the tourist were honest and did not take your bag. The naan and tandoori chicken look delicious. 👍👍👍 Looking forward to your next video from KL. Will you also be exploring Negeri Sembilan? If not mistaken, this is another state that you have not yet visit in West Malaysia and it is not far from KL (between Selangor and Melaka, less than 1 hour drive from KL).
Negeri sembilan would be great yeah 😊
My goodness.... what a vast difference for the cost of covid test done at the airport and at the clinic. Anyway, glad that you had it done at the clinic finally. Great that you opted a hearty yummy meal at a mamak restaurant upon your return to Malaysia 👍👍👍
Mobile doctor will come to your hotel for 90RM. 😔
Please cover Changkat street at Bukit Bintang. And you cant leave Malaysia without visiting Genting Highlands. Now its fully renovated.
thank you very much Ken for reviewing the apartment in KL. looking forward to spend time there.
That's the Tung Shin hospital. I have memories going there when I was a toddler. Mum and I go there by taxi.
KEN . Welcome back to Malaysia 🙏 . Hope you will enjoy your stay 😊 regards hermanfoo
I'm so glad you found the camera bag. I'm in Kuala Lumpur at the moment for the long weekend. It's an amazing city with plenty to do and see.
Welcome home Ken. The next day we will celebrate our eid. I'm sure the streets of KL will liked a ghost town..
You're wrong 🤣
Phew, you got your bag back! Your new accommodation looks amazing, and your first Malaysian meal looked delicious.
So happy that you have arrived safely, and I expect you had an early night! See you in the next video 👍💕💕
Malaysians are generally honest people and some are very innocent well I speak for myself and my experience in Malaysia
@@explorer666able That's really great to hear, I would love to visit one day 👍😍
Hi ken, I think it's best to consider getting an airtag so that you can track the location of the bag during times like these. Great for luggauge too !
Malaysians are generally honest people and some are very innocent well I speak for myself and my experience in Malaysia
@@explorer666able Yeap, I agree. I'm Singaporean but my dad is Malaysian so I pretty much understood the locals as I grew up there with my grandparents.
@@JustNashR yeh the whole culture from childhood to growing up to be a young adult is pretty much innocent growth to many evil around the world
Hopefully you can attend our Music Festival Legendary Rainforest Celebration in Sarawak from 17 to 19 June 2022, it should be interesting!
The tandoori and naan looks so crazy.🤤🤤🤤
Hi!,..ken, welcome back to m'sia..be xtra careful with all your luggage ...not always lucky. Have wonderful stay again in m'sia.
Thanks Ken for the awesome video...have safe and great trip in malaysia...
Yeayyy Welcome back to Malaysia Ken. Just in time for Hari Raya Celebrations.
The apartment is LIT!!!
The rapid test girl has such a wonderful personality. So sweet and uplifting. I LOVE HER ALREADY!!💖
The footage in this video should be 3 weeks ago, I saw it on your Instagram 😂
He sould be back to Jermany now
@@weilk7420 he is back in Germany right now. 😂🤣
@17:37 Tea tarek is actually air rated tea. Tarek means pulling/pouring if I’m not wrong. So they naturally air-rate pouring it from heigh into another other container.
I am happy that you are in Malaysia as it is on my list of next countries to visit. Since you were asking for suggestion on what to see in Kuala Lumpur . Is the Chinatown a place worth to visit ? Local markets ? Street food area ? Any area visiting in the surroundings of Kuala Lumpur outside the City Center .... have fun in K.L.
I had a similar experience in Hokane Japan. I left my sony camera bag which i put my passport and all the cash for the journey inside ( about 250k yen) and luckily i got in back from the information counter. Japanese are really honest😊
welcome back to Malaysia. So glad to know you have found back your camera bag.
The BEST Tandoori chicken in town, you should try at NZ Restaurant Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur. It is very moist and fresh chicken
WELCOME HOME 🇲🇾💖
SELAMAT HARI RAYA 💚

So glad you got your bag back! It's so heartwarming to know there's so much kindness in the world...kudos to Malaysian taxi driver!
Malaysians are generally honest people and some are very innocent well I speak for myself and my experience in Malaysia
If you find interesting places in KL like good shopping places or sites to see as well as places to exchange money in the city, you can vlog that, very interested to see your trip there as I’m traveling there this year as well
Good to see you back in 🇲🇾 I love this country
Video Topics I would like to see
- National traditions of Malaysia like dancing, cooking class, traditions of Malaysia
- Best Cafés for great Coffee in Kuala Lumpur
- Condos, cost of living and places to stay mid-term for like 1-3 months in Kuala Lumpur
Danke :)
You've been to Malaysia but you have never came to the east side of Malaysia.. come to Kuching Sarawak, the land of borneo.. you'll love it there..
Finally you are back to where I'm familiar with!! 😎😎
Welcome back to Malaysia Ken☺️🌹
I just leave Malaysia for 3 months and now I am in Thailand. Malaysia is my 2nd home. Hopefully to be back to Malaysia next year.
Even if the bag is missing. You have to understand, NOT ALL taxi drivers know what you drop on their taxi. If the next passenger after that steals the bag, it is unfortunate for the taxi driver. Because MOST people would definitely accuse him of stealing the bag.
Miss a lot word by ken. Tiada masalah. 😅
Best wishes Ken! Enjoy the travels. Question for you, how soon do you think before the mask wearing ends for folks?
Ken, 😎
Nice hotel for the price.
Good job with the breakfast. 😉
Welcome back Ken!! Looking foward for your videos especially in some non tourist spot kampung.
Hello Ken,
Please confirm new travel restrictions in May. Thanks
We'll be traveling to Malaysia soon. This is very helpful, Ken. Thank you!
Really this is festive week of Malaysia .it's Hari Raya Aildilfitri. I assume some video in Hari Raya, rumah terbuka etc..
Greetings from France Ken! Phew, what a relief you found your bag
Welcome back to Malaysia Ken. Do you know that Steve and Ivana are back in Malaysia too. Enjoy your stay.
Watching from India. All your videos are very informative and interesting. I am a huge fan of yours
I always keep a carabiner to attach my bags. If the luggage is too much, always keep a checklist to avoid loss of luggage 🙏.
Hi and good evening, Ken...Happy Sunday and Happy Labour Day to all....🙏🙏🙏
A very warm welcome back to Malaysia and we are super happy to see you here again. Enjoy the hot and humid weather again.. 😄
Wonderful comments by u. 🙂
@@Yasin_Affandi Thank you very much 😄🙌
Hello Ken,
Please confirm Malaysia has removed all Covid restrictions as of May 1, 2022. We are planning to visit KL shortly. I will appreciate if you could kindly confirm new travel restrictions. This is Rudy from Toronto, Canada. Thank you!!!
Try watching JetLag Warriors who came straight from Toronto a few days ago...
Very informative video. I’ve been following you for several months now. I used to live in Malaysia, still I’ve a lot to learn from you.
ahh mate, i feel ya, i'v been visiting Malaysia for the past 12 years and i totally understand that happy vibe you were talking abt.
the people the food, the hot sun, i love everything there :)
your vedios are very detailed and awesome
Thanks for what you do Ken. Your channel is so informative. I am hoping to visit Malaysia soon so your content is invaluable. You are a credit to the RUclips community because you are always polite and respectful of all cultures. You never judge and remain mindful you are a guest in those countries. Some other content providers don't appear to do that as well as you. As a side issue, I'm looking into the viability of obtaining a Touch n Go card or similar when I make my journey there. This is because I like the idea of having a card that works like the Octopus card in Hong Kong which I found very useful on my trip to HK. You can use it to buy from shops like Seven Eleven and for local transportation costs, I'm told. This saves having to use cash and ending up with a lot of change. You should be able to load it in certain shops also. That's my theory at least. I'm not keen on the E Wallet version as it seems complicated. Do you or any other subscriber know anything about this and is it worth while? Perhaps you could cover that briefly in a future video. Not to worry if you can't, I'll watch whatever content you provide. Danke sehr!
Happy to hear that 😊regarding the touch and go card, I never used it 🤔
WELCOME BACK KEN !!
the football field at 8:48 belongs to St John's Institution, one of the oldest schools in Kuala Lumpur. Our son went to secondary school (intermediate between elementary school and college) there from 2012 to 2016!
Just excited to enjoy 🇲🇾 with you. Loved the food my favourite too 😘
Love your content 🔥🔥👍❤️
