Topics to be considered: 1. How about the people? Are they friendly? Do everyone wants to know about what happens in their circle ? Like msians we are always "busy-body" 2. The pet-peeves of German vs Msian people. For e.g. msians must not eat with left hand or younger people must greet older people and address them properly etc.

A long but interesting fun fact vlog between Germany and Malaysia on food, culture, religion etc.. I can see that there are quite a lot of differences. Good info given by you, Ken and special thanks to Su Min for her part in this talk show. Best regards to you both.

Yes; it’s very common for single Malaysian to stay with their family if they works in the same city. They’ll take responsibility of paying home expenses etc.

Interesting perspectives!! Thanks for sharing both 😃

Great idea for the video. Very interesting to hear the differences.

Kacau means "disturb" but it also means "to stir".

Hi dear Ken n Su Min this is a outstanding blog. I liked it before finish to watch. I have come to know so many cultural information about two nations. Hope in future we will know more from both of you. Keep it up 👍

Interesting video ! Looking forward to Part 2....👍🏻👍🏻

I used to eat fried rice with fork. Well, still have time before the new episode of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear on Muse Asia.

Great vlog Ken. Hey I know it’s been said but you two do look great together. Keep her around awhile. You both bring up interesting topics. I’m a widower. Yup my other half wouldn’t take care of herself and caught up with her. That was 15 years ago. I’m 64 and waiting on KL and the rest of the world to get rid of the Covid-19 virus. My lady is there in KL and I’m going to bring her back with me. I was 17 when I left home and got married when I was 19. We dated for 13 years before we got married. She was my childhood sweetheart. Man I’d like to buy some food trucks and have them park at some places where people gather in Germany and feed them some nice hot meals. I love food trucks. Some of the best cook’s work in them. I went to culinary school so yes I cook for myself and friends. Seeing them enjoying your cooking is gratifying. Stay safe and healthy you two. 29 and not married yet . What’s the holdup? Lol. I think you found her !! #teamabroad

Very good chemistry 😉 and casual conversation.

After following videos of Travelgramers, Jetlag Warriors and VeggiesOnTour, suddenly your videos get more interesting, balance and wholesome. Now I realise why and what you have been missing all this while in the past....ehm...ehm...

Great discussions.

Both of you look like a couple😂😂 Anyway thanks for sharing this! Now I've learnt more German culture.

I had currywurst (sausage with tomato ketchup) served in a paper tray with a plastic fork in Germany (I think Berlin or Munich, can't remember exactly where) from a food truck - it was about 20 years ago and seemed very popular but maybe mostly for tourists?

It's not about street food culture. It's all about Malaysia is a blessed land where food is available 24/7. Historically speaking, people from all around the world migrated to Malaysia to avoid hunger, famine and extreme poverty at their places. This is true even to this day. People who are aware of this situation often wonder why Malaysia, a small country with limited resources, seem to be able to offer enough for everybody. Endless opportunity. Endless love and tolerance. That's a blessing :)

Im starting to watch Ken video because of the asam girl, hahaha

#teamabroad..very interesting and knowledgeable video...I love eat and cook at home for healthy reason , I eat out for occasional,like celebrations or gatherings with friends.

More collaboration please... Huhu😆

Culture is a very interesting topic. Each country has its own culture. In a country, different races, different religions, different background, different upbringing have their own culture n tradition.

The close knit family culture is gradually diminishing....modern grandparents are living in the kampung...they don't like hustle and bustle of the cities. I really enjoyed the collaboration n the sincere discussions.

Tq Su Min sharing n explaining our various cultures n beliefs to Ken. We too enjoyed Ken share a bit of his life . At least we know a little of their way of life in Germany. We usually cook our meals almost everyday but we also hv our lazy days not to cook, by ordering food online or hv our meals outside. Staying with parents is a norm here til they found their life partner n usually will move out once married.

Very interesting on the differences in culture ken 👍👏. Also good to hear ur views n learn about the german culture. As a liverpool fan, when i think of germany, the first thing that comes to mind is.....jurgen klopp 😆. Out of topic i know but if u ever bump into klopp back in germany, send him our best regards fm melaka 🤗😋. Danke ken for covering melaka in ur videos 🙋‍♂️.

I love this content! Can't have enough! Ok to answer some of your questions: 1. It is common for single adult to live with their parents, usually to look after them. Sometimes married couple even live with their parents for the same reason. It is almost always expected for one of the children to stay with their parents or bring their parents live with them. 2. I got married at age 24, right after I finished my degree. I was one of the earliest amongst my friends. Keep it up Ken!

I was married at 29 years of age , and am now 57 , and am still married with my ( Asian ) sweetheart !

you can consider make a video cooking germany and malaysia food with su min

I got married when I was 30. Just turned 38

Interesting topics...would love to see Sui Min again in the next video... 😁

Ken will get married soon i think.. with asam girl from melaka 🙈😅

Actually, about the hotel reception and praying times, the receptionist are not supposed to leave the reception empty at any times. That's why at some hotels they have two receptionist. One to back up another. If one need to go for a break, bathroom or pray, then there's another receptionist at the reception counter.

Ken Abroad The Bremen area must be very restrictive: I ate leberkäs from a daytime stall open in the centre of München in 1972. This was the Olympiad year. Shops in Villages closed at noon on Saturdays were only open again on Monday. At that time, I don’t remember any night life in the village. People entertained their friends at home or went to the city. We had würst available from food trucks on a building site operated by a Bavarian company in 1975. Sui Min Edinburgh in Scotland had fish and chip shops for snacking after leaving bars at 10pm, which was the 1970’s closing time. On Sundays, they had to serve food in the bar to be permitted to open. I moved to Aberdeen in 1977 and it had late opening Indian restaurants selling chicken vindaloo - best ate when drunk!

Yes.i cook 30 day a month.3 x times perday.

Marriage age in Malaysia differs for men and women, races (malay, chinese n indian) and generations. I can say that since Im a Malay, we tend to get married early due to parents pressure, (its our nature to obey parents), prevention of sex outside religion and also the level of education etc. Whereas usually Chinese my age, 30 either just settling down now or not yet because they want to stabilize their income for family. Btw su min is really cute at the end where she compares the height! 😂

Ken "May I ask you for your surname?" I did have my suspicions about your parentage because you did not appear very European except for your accent.Thanks for sharing that info.I found this vlog very educational and interesting.I hope a TV company would employ you as a travel presenter 👍🏻

Honestly, I find Germany food one of the cheapest in Western Europe and almost similar to Italy. As you mentioned, proper chicken/pork chop ~ €8 to €10. The same food in Paris, Amsterdam will cost nothing below €20😅.

Yeah it's quite common for Malaysian singles to stay at parents' home if they don't get married. It's just economics.. If they do get married, it's also very common to have the parents take care of the grandkids. It's kinda rare to hire babysitters unless the parents are in another city/town.

Niceeeeee....

I am new suscriber to the channel , I watched a few videos , and I noticed that Ken looked a bit asian himself , and he said in this video he is half Turkish , thats why I was suprised that he said he is non-religious , because I live very near the German border and go very much to shop and gas up the car and whatever in Germany ( Dutch-German border) but most Turkish people there are Muslims , so I was kinda suprised.

I think the main purpose of spoon is still to use it for the soup and gravy. Given asians like to mix soup/gravy with rice while at the other hand westerners usually having the main dish and soup seperately.. Besides, like Sui Min mentioned, europeans prefer to use knife to cut the meats while eating, at the other hand, asian foods are usually cut before cooked or served, so there is no need to save the other hand for a knife. There is no use for the knife on soup or gravy. Hope this makes sense 🙂

Because, for us, when we eat western cuisine, we will automatically use knife+fork with the help of spoon for soup. But when we eat rice-related meal, we will automatically use hand or spoon+fork (when rice is served in plate) or chopstick+spoon (when rice is served in bowl).
