As an Indonesian, we and Malaysians may have different views and sometimes clash on them. But one thing that we can agreed on is that we love each other’s cuisine. I especially, really love Malaysian cuisines because they’re like the perfect blend of many cultures like Chinese, Indian and also Indonesian. That first buffet is amazing, not only it’s cheap, the varieties are also great for that value. Definitely going to go there the next time I plan a trip to Malaysia.
You know when i travel around the world, sometimes i have difficulties finding good food, but i have never felt like that when i go to indonesia. Its nice. We almost speak the same language. The culture is pretty much the same and its dirt cheap ! Unlike those fuckers in singapore. HAHAHAHA JOKING
Glad you're enjoying Malaysia 🇲🇾 Sonny! That's my home!!! I recently went back after 7 years in the US. I definitely ate my heart out. Thank you for showing the rest of the world our colorful, diverse and delicious cuisines!!!!
Just out of interest are you able to get traditional ingredients to cook your favourite Malaysian food or even a restaurant that cooks real Malaysian food in America? I'm hoping you say yes because 7 years is a long time to go without the good you love.😊
This is the only "food" channel i follow, and its all because of u. what an amazing human being you are, thanks for everything but most of all thanks for all the laughs you given me, keep it up, youre nothing less than amazing :)
I just moved away from home and watching this video made me miss Malaysian food even more. Was talking to a colleague and he said "I love Malaysia, you guys did justice to food! All the good stuff and plenty of 24/7 eateries?! Every time I go to Malaysia, I allocate at least 50% of my expenses just for eating. Even the fast food is good!". I miss my nasi lemak, spicy sambal, spicy mekdi ciken, the list goes on and on
As a Malaysian-American; For an American, it is incomprehensible that a buffet costs $3.20. But for a Malaysian, it starts making more sense at RM15. Food and labor is cheaper in Malaysia as compared to the US. Can’t compare it one to one, gotta compare it relatively
In the video he compare cheap & expensive buffet & cheap buffet won because of the flavor & price. You hear he keep comment the expensive buffet has no flavor or dull taste. Off course it is high quality food in the hotel however the hotel failed to elevate the flavor to every food they have.
The comparison does help us Malaysians on the tourism sector 😊 Of course we can't compare it 1 to 1. We are just happy someone is giving our cuisine the exposure it needs. Welcome to Malaysia everyone!
I appreciate your thorough comparison of these buffets! It's interesting to see the vast differences in pricing but both offering great dining experiences.
@@ErenYaeger-x8oThey did say "Review!" and quite friendly. Whether they recognize or not, they definitely know it's a food review based on the camera crew.😅
From centuries now, in India we call it as "Lachha Paratha" in Northern India & "Kerala Paratha" in Southern India.. Intersting invention though by Mr. Boom. 😅😊😂
That’s India.. this is Malaysia.. yes we know the history, but we also know the facts for modern days.. once upon a time, yes it was parotta (not paratha), but for more than a century too, it’s evolved to Roti Canai.. so maybe India have that, but this is not India, so for Roti Boom yeah he invented it..
Year 2007 i went to a Asian food festival near London, 7 different parotta from 3 different nations.. 2 from Pakistan, 3 from India, 1 from Malaysia, and 1 from UK.. all of them admit the history or origin of parotta, but they are no longer unique to India, because only those 3 are Indian.. (Different parotta, different flour or butter/margarine etc, hence the different names
thank you Sonny for visiting Malaysia, so happy to see this and previous Malaysia street food video. although im working overseas, Malaysia food is 1 of the thing i missed the most! last but not least, love the way you make the funny moments throughout the video, you sir always made my day!
Seeing Sonny try the food and make all his subtly awkward humorous comments is the experience. Thats why this channel will forever be the best lol over the Indian channel. And yes. I'd totally try to $3 buffet too. The other one is nice, but the $3 is a deal
This is not just a food & travel review channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 🥰🥰🥰
I'm not sure why RUclips doesn't recommend your videos to me much anymore but I am glad that you are still making amazing content! I have been subscribed since you had a few thousand subscribers and am not surprised that you are so successful!
So roti boom is like available almost at every mamak here but even as a malaysian.. i didn't know the name was from the original creator Mr Boom lol I was pleasantly surprised 😆
@@rahulkottees4494 brother, she said here in Malaysia not in India. Roti boom name given by Mr boom. Other country also have same thing. Different name only.
@@rahulkottees4494 Roti boom is like, a very different variant than roti canai which is supposed to be similar like parotha. Even the taste is different because it is sweet and buttery.
I would imagine the differences in the clientele as well. If I pay for a very expensive buffet I'm going to eat the most expensive stuff there and make sure I get my money's worth. But a lot of the people eating at the $3 buffet are probably regular clients who don't have that pressure so if they only want to eat some tofu then that's what they're going to eat. So you don't have as many people going in there with the mindset that they're going to break the bank.
Love to see you enjoying the food, especially the local dishes, BUT rule no. 1 at buffets - skip the carbo and make a beeline for the protein (but not tofu) in the following order: seafood (but not fishcake), red meat, white meat. I bet the first buffet wins the bang for your buck (and for taste, effort and local culture).
Hi Sunny I'm a big fan I see you do alot of content around the world but would like to see some more content from the Pacific ocean I'm from Samoa and can hook you up with a great tour guide, and maybe start your tour of the Pacific here. Love your work and how you delve into unique cultures.
Wow Sonny both Buffets look really yummy! I would have trouble choosing between the two so would probably eat at both! Thank you for showing us these Amazing buffets!
@@hermianofficial3400This would be the one closest to influence roti boom (rather than whatever Carribean), since Malaysia has a significant Tamil population here.
Uhhh, this was a great video. Malay is interesting- they have a lot of different influences as they should given where they are geographically. The first buffet looked awesome. Don't know about the Fish Soup but everything else looked decent. The other buffet- well, that looked like an expensive American Buffet. Ya can't really compare the 2, it's just a whole different get down. Apples and Oranges. Anywho- thanks for the Vid. SKOL!
So great to see you enjoying your time here in Malaysia, but it won't be just Kuala Lumpur, you should check out Penang Island some day, lots of great history and food too. You can even check out the hotels at Batu Feringghi and relax at the beaches.
Your next task is to try local food from every state in Malaysia. Every state in Malaysia has their own unique food, such as asam pedas for Melaka, rendang tok for Perak, laksa Sarawak for Sarawak and ikan patin tempoyak for Pahang. 13 states - 13 types of delicious Malaysia food. You can find all this food in KL itself. Happy eating.
As I grew up on a cattle ranch it does my heart good to know that the most expensive thing on the most expensive buffet was beef🤠 I also noticed that the first buffet was interestingly multicultural, the owner appears to be Muslim but that second chef's head dress was Sikh if I'm not mistaken interesting post thanks
Sonny, i want to suggest you for an episode about Laksa. We Malaysian, each state have their own type of Laksa. This will be a great episode or mini series only about Malaysian Laksa.
5:51 in india puri and bhatura are different things, bhatura is also available here, search chole(chickpeas curry) bhature(bread that goes with it made from maida(refined flour and somethings are added to it).
Welcome to my country my idol Sunny☀️☀️☀️ 😎 🎉🎉🎉 Hope you gonna have great Time in here and taste the delicious and variety Malaysian food around the country ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
in case you were wondering how those cheap buffets really make money, I can tell you some of their tricks. I used to work in one of those back while I was a student. They use mainly carbs, like rice, bread, spaghetti, vegetables or different types of pasta and try to use them in creative ways - you're gonna have a soup with little pasta squares and you will also find the same pasta in a thick tomato sauce for another dish. When it comes to protein, they reuse the same meat for many dishes - first they boil the chicken to make a soup, then they take it out and bake it in the oven for some chicken and rice. Finally, the left overs from today are ground up and end up in tomorrow's sauce or stew. Even the bones are ground and reused in some places. And honestly, though it sounds weird, the results are very very delicious - there's something about food being slowly cooked in large cauldrons that makes it much better than whatever you can make at home. They don't need a large staff to function, because everyone serves themselves and also cleans after themselves(the dishes are collected in special bins, garbage goes in separate containers). Plus, they heavily rely on having a large customer base - the canteen I was working in was serving arounf 3-4k students every day (the campus was around 20 000 large), with outside workers from various offices and construction sites also eating there daily. Even if you make ten cents on each platter you sell, you are still gonna make enough to pay the bills and staff.
As someone who, for a week, tried to talk myself into spending $13 for a thing of mac and cheese at a restaurant I went to yesterday I'll gladly eat at the cheaper place. It might not look as fancy as the more expensive place but you know you'll be treated well.
Love your content. I was also just in Borough Market. Living in Boston and working in KL a while back your content is so on point. So real, dealing with anxiety/mental illness. Vulnerable, authentic and playful. Just awesome
Another great video! Sunny should become a voice actor! His witty comments make me laugh every time. He's never disrespectful to the people or the food, though. Great stuff as always!
Welcome to KL, Wow. What a wonderful vlog. Thank you for this awesome video. Amazing. One day, I must try both, the expensive and cheap buffet, they looked really good.
How on earth is this possible to sell for $3? That is crazy cheap even for low cost countries/areas. It actually looks tasty and I would give it a try. Only thing that is worrying is the price, not the food display itself.
I’m Indonesian and i’m pretty sure that 🇮🇩 and 🇲🇾 always fight about our culture, ignoring the fact that we have similar ancestors😂 The only things that made our allied is rendang crispy and #savepalestine🍉🍉🍉
Majority of Indonesians and Malaysian are friendly and cordial with each other, it is the loud minority that is always arguing and instigating hatreds.
I like watching your videos because we have different versions of all the foods you eat in my country so I can relate to the taste of what you're eating.
ayo sonny, just wanna say the fact that u acknowledged how malaysians always banter with indonesians deserve a like bro. U a good sport. differ from the rest of the youtube yahoos tht came to MY
I mean with around RM 6 - 7 you can eat local Nasi Kandar with big piece of chicken and loads of gravy, so RM 15 is quite pricey for one-time eating (except if u dining in fancy restaurant ofc)
2:14 Looking through the comments section briefly, no Malaysian or Indonesian took you bait. Also being a satay lover, I’ve never seen anyone drink the peanut sauce till now 😂
Great video Sonny,you’re in my favourite country to eat Malaysia!! Brilliant country brilliant food and most of all brilliant people..greetings from Australia 👍🏼
I didn't know 15 ringgit buffet exist in Kuala Lumpur..even by Malaysian standard that is pretty damn cheap..15 ringgit is about equivalent to 4 street burger or a plate of nasi lemak with chicken and meat... sure must go and have a buffet over there.
The first owner was just so genuinely happy and proud of his restaurant. That alone makes me want to visit it.

The Roti Boom is like a mini version of Buss-up-Shot from Trinidad and Tobago with a crispy outside.

2:14 Looking through the comments section briefly, no Malaysian or Indonesian took you bait. Also being a satay lover, I’ve never seen anyone drink the peanut sauce till now 😂
The roti Boom Chef is a National Treasure, Cheap and nice has always been the Malaysian motto
Great video Sonny,you’re in my favourite country to eat Malaysia!! Brilliant country brilliant food and most of all brilliant people..greetings from Australia 👍🏼
Because of watching your channel I wasn’t afraid to try Oysters this week lmao. Thanks!
i love oysters, just make sure it doesnt look weird or smell weird. and try with lemon too
You need try Masak lemak gulai cili api, Asam pedas bendi and nasi lemak. This is traditional malay food.
He tried Nasi lemak already. Also he has been to Malaysia already like 6 years ago where he tried a lot more food.
Love you're programmes, it says a lot when the most expensive buffet item (the beef)had no flavor.keep entertaining us,thanks
Those people dishes are wonderful for Malaysians.
the roti boom is called as coin porotha in india
That guy who recognise you in the beginning is so lucky to see you in the flesh! 😂
Much love and respect to the first owner, what a good man.
The Roti Boon or whatever it’s called looked really appetizing. The chef was flipping it with what looked to me like a putty knife.🤣🤣
Hi there, it is called Roti Bom, or Boom in case you're finding info about it. Cheers
It's Boom
i hope u go to cheras, kuala lumpur and try the chinese food there because it’s amazing
Malaysia food is cheap n tasty, Great vlog Sir 👍🏾
I love watching you explore food
I didn't know 15 ringgit buffet exist in Kuala Lumpur..even by Malaysian standard that is pretty damn cheap..15 ringgit is about equivalent to 4 street burger or a plate of nasi lemak with chicken and meat... sure must go and have a buffet over there.
