    You see, that's why its good to interact with the locals. Ben i think you need to explain to the viewers what you can or cannot eat. So that we can recommend the right type of food.

    No soy, sugar, carbohydrates (except minimal carbs in veggies, low-sugar fruits), gluten, dairy. This mostly leaves meats, vegetables, and fruits that I'm able to eat. If I cook my food at home I can modify pretty much any dish that's not fried in a way that I could eat it, but eating out is more difficult.

    Food heaven that is in Malaysia. Each year there are multi festival happening in Malaysia. From Chinese New year, Hari Raya Idul Fitri and we got 2 Raya. Deepavali, Christmas, and many more festivities coming out from the diverse cultures and communities in Malaysia. Bet Thailand wont compare with Malaysia in many ways. Plus most Malaysian got no problem understanding English. Respect from Singapore. ❤

    60% Malay population in Malaysia are Muslims (and plus others races..) You can date with non Muslims if you feel the Muslims are conservative but mostly Muslims in Malaysia are open minded and super friendly as long as you can respect their rules and laws you will understand and going to love it 😍 Nasi kandar in KL mostly are branch outlets from the Penang's..

    I will say as long as I still avoid the carbs here my body does heal, eating the curries and veggies. Initially I tried to eat rice a few times and got sick very quickly, and very severely for almost a full week. I went back to the no carbs (except veggies) and my body starts to heal quite fast. By the time I went back to Thailand I was feeling much better than my usual baseline. I do think the herbs/spices are helpful. The reality is I have some type of overgrowth in the gut (bacterial, fungal) and it feeds on sugar, so carbs turn into sugar and feed the bad bacteria. Completely eliminating this requires strict adherence to avoiding many foods and simultaneously using some strong anti-fungal medication, at the very least. I've done it in the past and fell off, starting eating rather poorly again and my issues came back, so I know I need to stay strict in order to feel good and get myself back to a healthy state. Now I've been back in Malaysia about a week again and being very strict, and my body is healing again.

    @@benfishermin You are going into a world of barter trading , where the common English "Sales Law" does not protect you. You're hoping a guy's going to tell you a "fast fix" OR a "cure". Like trying to get a guy to tell you a "secret". So , when you barter trade , you're asking to be scammed. ( 1) For this reason I won't do this in Thailand. ( 2) The Malays are Muslim and antropologically are at odds with Islamic Knowledge , sufi and sufism ( bomoh). ( sounds familiar where the Vatican locks away Christian knowledge.. forever!) You can get answers from both , vastly different regarding "life style" and some oils ..at odds with one another. ( 2.2 ) I prefer "tenyeh" , local weeds where I grew up on an plantation with the Malays. It's not commercial. You can't find it. ( 3) The "proper " Indian Hindu way involves 2 dedicated temples ( .. most Indian temples don't do either ) one draws you the birth chart ( down to the hour and location ) ( in 3 laminates) gives it back to you. And the second temple reads them against the other 2 laminates , 1 by 1 , if he' s in the mood ..otherwise come back next week. ( 3.2 ) Like the Malay tenyeh , the Indians know the local grasses and weeds , but cannot fix you a cure for lack of "talent". Tenyeh is where the whole village argue among themselevs to find a cure for you , by trial and error , by the week or the month or two. ..AND these are the reasons I point you to Chinese medical halls ( shops) ( TCM) , Chinese herbalogy ( no magic involved. ) They are all over the country ( I personally avoid TCM north of Ipoh ,, too strict.)

    11:09 consuming pork is forbidden to muslims, and it is specifically mentioned in scripture of islam, the quran. Somehow most of the muslims link the pigs with disgustisness because of the prohibition. So when some bad muslims swear using that word, it means "you're disgusting". Btw, swearing is considered as a bad conduct in islam.

    I wouldn't say eating more rice is good for anyone necessarily. It's still a heavy starch that spikes your blood sugar, it's not too much different than eating sugar which is proven to be inflammatory and not exactly healthy for anyone. It tastes good and balances the flavors but from a health perspective, I don't believe leaving out rice is an unhealthy thing. Fruits effect me much better than rice, I can eat low sugar fruits like Dragon fruit, Guava, Pomelo, Blueberry, Raspberry without too much issues thankfully so I eat them occasionally!

And then, there's Mahbub Restaurant in Bangsar... Now that one has a variety of choosings of over 30 types of individual dishes curry and dhal... Cheap too, the teh tarik/ais is fresh and not pre made and stored in the fridge. Sadam's customers are catered for different Malaysians out there.

I prefer Mexican food, Greek and Spanish. I'm looking at going to Peru after I go to Vietnam. Vietnam is hot and humid too. But they got Hawaii type beaches and I like the food better. Curry is okay but I'm not like oh yummy! I can't wait to get it. I'm going to Vietnam.. people say Malaysia is the place but Vietnam has all the manufacturing. Beautiful beaches. Food is even cheaper and it's the home of all the knockoffs and you can ship so many things back to the US. Vietnam is more difficult to be able to get a Visa, but I think as far as Southeast Asia goes it's the best place. The Vietnam government is a pain in the ass worse than Malaysia but not as bad as Thailand And it is not dependent on tourism like Thailand. They will be the manufacturing hub for the world.

    Hey man, I was wondering why you cannot eat rice? what happen if you eat it. Is it a specific type or rice?. Why dont you try malaysia rice it my be diffrirnt since we have our own local produce rice. Just try a small portion maybe 1/4 of the plate. For me if you have no problem with our curry you should be good with everything else. Just give our rice a try, maybe it suits you specificly. Anyway cool video.😁. FYI if you have a motorbike license you good to go .

    For real Malaysia Food, Nasi Kandar is not MALAY food, the cook majority from INDIA.Try to go out of CITY, find food stall with MALAY COOK. You will taste the different. Too many chip labor foreigners mostly INDIA, BANGLA, ROHINGYA, BURMESE, FILIPINO, AND SIAMESE work at restaurant. They dont cook like MALAY COOK the dishes.

    The food and rent are so much cheaper.. The women are more serious you would probably have to convert to Islam.. I don't like internet censorship I don't like the no marijuana.. I don't like the execution of marijuana smokers I don't like the rain all the time and the humidity.. I think Malaysia is a real mixed bag.. What's cool about Albania is one year no Visa.. They grow all the marijuana for Eastern Europe.. They legalize medical cannabis and they don't come down hard on drug use. I don't do hard drugs but I have heard there are all kinds of drugs in the clubs. Marijuana is kind of their thing like Jamaica.. The food is better than Pizza Burgers kabobs a lot of Greek culture.. Without the Greek prices but Albania is not Greek. You are paying ridiculous prices like Las Vegas The prices for marijuana in Thailand is a tourist trap.. You can buy huge bags of marijuana for almost nothing in Albania I think a half ounce was like $5.. It is outdoor weed.. Watching another guy's video some graffiti guy wrote the cops Love Weed.. There's a particular town where they grow it the whole town does it I want to go stay there.. There's another town on the ocean that I would stay for a long time.. What friendly marijuana countries have you found besides Thailand ????

    You're right it's a mixed bag with the positives and negatives here. The heavy rain daily gets to me a bit and if it continues for the next weeks, I will head somewhere for a couple of months and return in a better season. In regards to dating, with tinder I'm mostly matching with Indonesian and Chinese girls. There's quite a lot of beautiful chinese women here it's actually overwhelming. The marijuana laws are pretty lame in general but for me at this moment it's a good thing and part of the reason I am here, to have time off and stay focused, stop overeating and overspending on food + weed, so for me it's beneficial for a little while, not permanent though for sure. Hm I have to check out Albania in that case. I spent a few years in Berlin which is one of my favorite cities, it's very tolerant toward everything. Even if you're caught by police with some party stuff they will typically just take it. The weed there is a big mix of local stuff and also for sure stuff from Albania, same with some of the party stuff which can be from Albania or Amsterdam typically. I was lucky that I overstayed 2 years in Berlin and got out with no issue, because I took a bus to prague and flew from Prague > Portugal > USA which is a safe route for schengen overstay. Most weed friendly places I've been is Berlin, USA, Amsterdam. Otherwise not much.
