Agree with French chefs top rating of Malaysian food?

The black sauce noodle, it's not from China, it's from Malaysia, it's called "K.L. Hokkien Mee" 😊

[ELIZ]

The fried hokkien mee which you had tried is actually a Malaysian Chinese food, to be exact, created and made popular in Kuala Lumpur, the style and ingredient actually varies in different parts of the country, e.g. in Penang, the dish with the same name is totally different.

I like the French Chef. Very charismatic. Very friendly and courteous. Easy going.

Just to add to conversation, most durians that are home grown and/or uncategorized are likely to be tough and tasteless. If you're going to start trying out durians for the first time, it is important to know which types of durian you're going for because they taste very very different. The Musang King would be a safe start for people who've never had durian. It has a sweet taste and an almost creamy like texture, maybe you won't like it as much but you definitely wouldn't hate it. My personal favourite durian is the D24. It has a light bitter taste at the beginning followed by a mellow sweetness. Hope this helps out any aspiring durian eaters out there. Cheers.

[Hehhee]

It’s so interesting seeing how his French accent has blended in with the local language 😂😂, also, the dimsum at night markets are definitely way too overrated and way too expensive for its price

Hokkien mee is a very local dish which is uniquely KL and this dark sauce version won’t be found in China for sure. In Penang, hokkien mee is actually noodles in prawn broth. In Singapore, it’s stir fried noodle with prawn sauce and eggs.

You're lucky Musang King wasn't available and got Red Prawn instead. Musang King is bitter, perfect for durian lovers. Red Prawn is sweet, great for beginners. A good balance which is creamy, sweet and bitter is the D24.

Durians and alcohol is fine as long as taken in moderation. I have done this repeatedly. Just remember to stay hydrated after enjoying the durian with the beer.

I watched your interviews, debate comparing Malaysia/Singapore.
We are US Chinese retired couple vacationing annually in Asia ~ half year.
What I like about Singapore is the foodcourt. That’s all. Across Johore strait there is constant competition. Like Hong Kong’nese talking down on mainland Chinese.
KL and Singapore is at par now!
Skyscrapers? Yup, KL has more higher and extensive. I find living in KL is no longer ‘behind’ Singapore, not even by food courts.

In KL we get to live ‘US lifestyle’ perhaps better than Singapore. At fractional costs.

We visted Jalan Alor just recently and the street food there was incredible! Definitely slightly more expensive than other pasar malams, but still worth it! 🤤

[maxsoon]

Durian best friend is mangosteen. It balance everything. Cool the body. Merci Beaucoup to Mr. French chef.

[higashirinchiah]

Lucky you chose Udang Merah durian, I feel it is the least pungent but the sweetest and the creamiest in texture akin to custard with the mildest onion taste. Mustang King has much stronger bitterness and more onion taste.

"Eating durian together with alcohol can be lethal"

Entertaining collaboration. I want to go to this market and try some of these items after viewing.

[crp]

2:45 - "We found the french food" - FRENCH FRIES (background mario song)
ME - sudden burst of laughing while eating 🤣🤣🤣 (food all over the floor)

[seanchong]

Hokkien noodle is actually indigenous to South East Asia where Chinese immigrants brought over their recipes and evolved over many generations. It is believed to have descended from Loh Mee (also another Hokkien noodle dish).

My family would always order 1 set of Hokkien noodles and 1 set of Wat Tan Hor (Cantonese fried noodles with Silky Egg Sauce)

[marktan]

This is good video.
No ‘debate’ on Singapore vs Malaysia
.
In fact, local Chinese foodie bloggers are mixing culture/history into their food talks. Here, a heavy food talk with tiny little commercial. 👍

[lysanderPHD]

I love the way the Italian chef added "eh" at the end of every sentence when he explains something to you about the foods. That was very Malaysian way 😂😂

I hope you enjoy the food in Malaysia

Jean: I just read that drinking alcohol after eating durian can be lethal
Max: Oh no....anyway
Jean: Oh, it's just a myth
Max: Great, cheers
