Sometimes, I wish there were a "food bus" that would transport SG travelers to Malaysia so they could spend the entire day eating and returning in the evening. I'll probably take that bus every weekend. 🤣

Sogo is now fully Malaysian owned but it was opened by Sogo Japan but they pulled out a long time ago.

Both Singapore and Malaysia are unique nations with their own cultures, histories, and strengths. It's important to respect and appreciate the differences between them, rather than trying to rank them or compare them in an hierarchical manner. While there may be certain areas where one country may have more advanced infrastructure, higher levels of development, or better food, it's important to recognize that these are few aspects of what makes one country great.

Ultimately, both Singapore and Malaysia have much to offer and are equally deserving of respect and appreciation.

next to Kin Kin Pan Mee, there's a malay restaurant at the corner which sells a lot of malay mixed rice dishes. the fried chicken with crab sauce is the bomb

The little sea snails in the Chow Kit Market can be found in Singapore, cook in sambal. Usually found in those BBQ sambal Stingray stalls. Just say 'Chut Chut', the stall helper will know what your are ordering.

[coffeemug]

This is your to eat list in KL:
Malay food - ikan patin tempoyak, pari Asam pedas, nasi kerabu, nasi Ayam kunyit, mee jawa, Ramly burger; Chinese food - Yong tau foo (Jalan Ipoh), Hokkien mee (Chinatown), claypot chicken (Chinatown), hainanese chicken, Hakka mee with Char siew (toast and roast PJ); Indian food - banana leaf rice (Kanna PJ), Mozzarella cheese naan, sup ekor mamak; desserts - durian cendol, sirap bandung, Sangkaya coconut ice-cream.

Also, you need to try Family Mart in Malaysia, it's another level of innovation. A must try: Satay oden, tomyam oden, garlic mayo onigiri, mala chicken onigiri, and the weird sotofu ice cream flavours they served.

The tour around kl (market etc) is just for the tourist. Average Malaysian these days shops at their supermaket (aeon, giant, tesco, mydin, jaya grocer etc). Majority of Malaysian don't stay in central kl (more expats or foreign workers)

Ps: the prawn paste you have to mix it well with the asam laksa soup. Similar to the sambal given to nyonya laksa. Make sure to mix it well

[fxfirekiapzkiapz]

I think you're supposed to mix the sauce into the Assam laksa. I loooove Assam laksa! The tamarind makes it so deliciously sour!🥰🥰🥰

[Millielai]

Assam Laksa in KL-try Ah Cheng Laksa(northern style).

Welcome to KL Ghib san. She's not perfect but hopefully you enjoyed your trip here looking forward to your next adventure in a different state in Malaysia!

So glad you found The Chow Kit Kitchen, I had a staycation there once and ended up having all my meals there for 3 days because everything was mindblowing! Even for a Malaysian! Satay👍👍👍 Ikan asam pedas🙌 Their cocktails were amazing too~ Their toiletries were a special colab Local Msian product Jeanie Botanicals which I purchased from the hotel regularly ever since my stay there 2 years ago!

[tinateh]

I like siput sedut in Bangkok but never tried it in Malaysia. This video is making me drool!!! Chow Kit was said to be the most bustling place in the 1960s. Glad to see it so active now.

Finally you have landed in KL. Haven't been there since Covid..miss the food! I would think taking a coach is faster ever since their airport has shifted...hmm.

I'll always choose teh tarik at mama shops as they are best at it and not known for coffee. Indians don't really take coffee.
Cham just means yuan yang, they are the same is just that the coffee and tea in Malaysia is stronger/more fragrant generally.
Bergerdil is a very common and popular food item in all Malay food stalls hahaha, guess you have always missed it.
Assam laksa is from Penang. You gotta try it one day in Penang. This one looks a bit dliluted, not enough fish and ingredients. The har gou (prawn paste - speciality in Penang) should be poured into the soup. You should try the normal laksa with coconut in order to compare with Singapore's.

Try the KL pork noodles (dry version) called Sam Gan Chong. They have unique pork balls which are rectangle in shape and also their special pork sausage. Generally Malaysia food taste more robust, punchy, stronger everything.

Ha ha.. when I see Ojisan uses his fingers to eat roti prata, I immediately thought of Ichang whom he recently did a collab with. It was super duper entertaining ✨️

[sawzz]

wow, didnt know the chow kit kitchen and bar serves such good food.

[meat_loves_wasabi]

When i flew into KL i checked into Wanjo first before our Hotel...My msian relatives like the mee siam with Gravy from Toast Box....they say JB mostly only have dry version

[amirulamirul]

Malaysia n Singapore just share the same food culture 👍👍❤️❤️

[patricklee]

The prawn paste or hae koh in Hokkien is supposed to be mixed with the Asam Laksa soup to make it more flavourful. Hahaha it's not for you to dip food in it! It would taste overpowering if you do that.

[yeongkarsoon]

Msian & Sgian have different culture twist in it so to say which is the best is definitely hard. Some would go lighter and some prefer heavier punch.

[psoon]

Anyone that says S’pore food is better than M’sian or vice versa is going around with blinkers. The absolute best part of living in this part of the world is the amazing ease of access to the endless variety of eye-catching, aroma rich, mouth-watering and delicious foods. From the most basic and simple Roti, Nasi Lemak, or noodle dishes to the more grander and elaborate preparations, each have a place in satisfying our appetite.
Videos like this take us on a whirlwind tour to places that we individually will not have the time or opportunity(I now live in Canada)to personally visit. Thanks to Ghib and the many other YouTubers for sharing their experiences with us👍👍😄
