Malaysian Food Is Underrated! - 3 Day Food Journey in Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾
Malaysian food is awesome! On one of my first visits, I asked some locals for advice on things to do. They looked at each other for a second, then simultaneously said 1 word - "EAT!".
Since then.. I've probably been to the country 10+ times. On each of those visits, I took their advice and tried a variety of dishes.
My personal favourite is called Nasi Kandar - which is essentially an assortment of rice, meat and curries.
Malaysia has a high population of Indians and Chinese people, and those cultures have influenced the cuisine.
Having visited (and lived in) several countries throughout Southeast Asia, including..
Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore..
.. I can without hesitation, say that I think Malaysia has the best food.
Follow along in this video as myself and my GF visit some of my favourite restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.

Thank you! Will do!
Glad you enjoyed our food. Its quite true our food is really underrated. Not as well known as other countries in this region like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and even SIngapore. Often overlooked.
Try Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan, Iban, etc from Penang, Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, N9, Melaka, Johor, Pahang, Kelantan, Terengganu, and on the other side Sabah and Sarawak. 😅👌
Oh man, you went to all of my favorite places. Malaysian food is amazing.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your food explorations in KL.

At the banana leaf restaurant, when the guy came over with the 3 curries, you're suppose to use that curry to mix into your rice.... (It's included in the meal! some place even have crab curry) You should also ask for deep fried bittergourd- it's not bitter at all and it goes soooo well with the rice!
13:50 the server was asking if you want some more curries, typically poured onto the rice. Theres a few options for the curries (chicken, fish, dhal). For a serving of banana leaf, the curries are pretty much not to be missed

As for Laksa, finding a really good one in KL is rather hard as you need to drive a bit to the suburbs. However, theres is a chain that serves a pretty good one, called Ah Cheng Laksa. The chain is mostly found in malls.

Awww... looks like they were out of food... have to wait till dinner... Fun fact the rice servers at the Nasi Kandar shops are known as the rice Jockeys... For me I love the mixed sauces at the end... just say "Kuah Campur" meaning mixed sauces Please...🥰🥰🥰
thank you for enjoy malaysian food
Yes! Malaysia is THE foodie capital of the world and TRULY ASIA! indulge!
The best nasi kandar = plain white rice + mixed gravy + protein + vegetable.... Hope 1 day, you can visit each states in Malaysia...each state have their own unique cuisines, for example, each state have their own version of Laksa & some Laksa totally different from other state in Malaysia......for me, cuisines in K.L only represent about 1% cuisines in whole Malaysia......
yes malaysian food is really good!
That rendang it’s good when you having it with hot rice
chinese malay food is also really good in malaysia and plenty more ofc
The Roti Mataba place near Phra Sumen Fort is close enough to that version of Roti but there's no dhaal though & not open 24 hours 😄
Nice video. But could you put the name of the restaurants in post production. It would be useful to visitors to the city.
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤❤❤
There's no curfew for kids when it comes to school holidays in Malaysia 🤣 Oh my you're missing a lot and just scratch the surface lol Most food you've eaten were Indian food, except for Nasi Lemak, but there's a whole range of Malay traditional dishes that you haven't try yet like masak lemak, asam pedas, masak merah, singgang, ikan bakar, masak hitam/opor, gulai tempoyak, gulai asam, gulai kawah etc. We even have a lot other variety of soupy noodles like laksa, mee celup, mee hong kong, mee hailam,.mee bandung, mee racun, kuewteaw goreng kerang, mee kari, mee rebus etc. And rendang is best eaten with lontong dish (compressed cube rice, with vegetables in coconut milk, serunding and peanut sauce). By the way, we don't really rate Indian foods at 24hrs restaurant, we only rate the one from specific restaurant like Nasi Kandar or banana leaf dish at NZ Curry House 😄

You should try our Sarawak Laksa the late Anthony Bourdain's favourite breakfast for the Gods....
Should try Kayu at SS2
I prefer it to be underrated rather than overrated... 😆
for me i like fried chicken + Rendang Daging + Egg + Cabbage + Okra+ Kuah Campur (mix curry by them) = 100% sedap.
He just ask what type of gravy to go with the Rice.
pewettttttt,,,😘😘
Terimakasih
Can really say, u just tasted around 30% of the variety of food in Malaysia. KLCC sizzling mee must try. U can refer to japanese youtuber ichang also as they already stay a while in Malaysia just to eat our foods.
Malaysian food will never underrated
Auwww man.. Pelita is not gonna like this. From a perfect 10 it got bumped to 6 !! Lol.
We prefer it to be underrated as once these restaurants became overrated due to more customers, the food prices started to increase drastically & in most case food quality start to dive down.
please come to Indonesia, a country that has a wealth of worldwide culinary delights and enjoy a variety of different flavors of food that you can never forget

I'm M'sian American and often miss the food. But when I'm back I don't find myself bingeing. After some I had to face the facts that the food is unhealthy. Too much oil, often recycled but not rancid, too much meat compared to the older more balanced with vegetables Asian diets, unlabeled genetically modified produce, excessive monosodium glutamate, chemical dyes and artificial colorings, sugar in the food and general cleanliness of the kitchens. The departments do shut down outlets but selectively also .

Underrated in the sense that when I look up terms such as "which countries have the best food?", I rarely see Malaysia in the top 15. I personally think it should ranked much higher. Also, a lot of the dishes haven't spread throughout the world like Thai, Indian, Mexican, Italian etc. food has. I have never seen a Nasi Kandar restaurant outside of Malaysia (unfortunately). I've also never seen Nasi Lemak meals being promoted in any other country. Not a single sign for it. I'd have to seek out a speciality Malaysian restaurant.

Malaysians don't really have that 'working-class' type of ppl that goes abroad, so that's why our foodie is underrated.. That' working- class' ppl will undoubtedly create a sub culture of foodies to their own community whilst 'promoting' to the 'locals'.. Bangladeshi, Thais, Vietnamese , Philippines, Pakistanis, Italians, Koreans etc are all well represented abroad due to various social and political 'pilgrimage' hence why their foodies becomes 'popular'! The Malays particularly don't really go out of the country as they are mostly comfortable with their socioeconomic status so much so they see no need to go elsewhere to promote their foodies..

3 days? Not enough dude.....varies from states and races. 😁😁😁😁
You could eat 3 different dishes per day for the next 3 months and you probably still wont go through all the dishes Malaysia has to offer.
