I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, currently in Malaysia, making Malaysia travel vlogs. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.
There will be almost daily uploads on this channel, during the next months from Southeast Asia. I will be traveling Southeast Asia, showing you around local places and try lots of different local food. Join the journey if you are interested in experiencing Malaysia now from a more authentic local point of view.

[@JetLagWarriors]

Malaysia got the best food in the world!!!

[@chaw294]

Wow, such a nice comment, Steve lvana..... appreciate it and thank a bunch, guys....👍👏🙌

[@takeoshinji1611]

Indeed..

[@ironmuzz]

Agree !

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Yes, Malaysia n its diversity from d food cultures of Malay, Chinese, Indian incl other ethnics from Sabah n Sarawak, definitely makes d country a melting pot.

[@se7enzee444]

Not sure about best, but definitely one of the most affordable places for food.

[@gyap76]

OMG....you have grown so much over the past 12 months.....eating like a local and knowing to appreciate the local flavours. Also, you can now eat seafood. No wonder you were missing the Asian flavours when you were in Germany.

[@KenAbroad]

I'm becoming a true food lover here in Asia 😎

[@andrewwongx]

As a Penangnite living overseas, watching all these familiar places in your video really warms my heart and is making me miss home (and the food!) Enjoy Penang and thank you Ken!

[@meowkingdom8047]

for those view ken channel, hopefully can support ken channel in order road to achieve 100K subscriber. He do lot of afford to explore and promote Malaysia. Support Ken guys💪💪💪💪

[@Dinks7]

Agree with you Meow Kingdom

[@KenAbroad]

Appreciate it 💪

[@giannishen]

Teochew (pronounced: Chaozhou) is Chaozhou, it is a city in Guangdong Province, China, During the 18th and 20th centuries, Teochew residents were one of the main Chinese ethnic groups who immigrated to Southeast Asia! The bean cake you bought is usually enjoyed with tea, if you eat it by yourself, it is recommended not to buy that box! In fact, that Oyster omelet you eat is a night market snack from Taiwan!

[@Banana_0169]

Super! Penang has lots of various good foods, including Chinese, Malay, Thai, Indian Tamil and European foods!

[@iqmalsharuazhan8174]

You’re almost at 100K subs! Subscriber since the early MCO days so happy to see your channel getting the recognition it deserves!

[@sivaranjanishanmuganathan6497]

Wow, totally enjoyed the vlog today. Very intresting one.

[@PeaceVendetta]

Thanks Ken for supporting those local hawker stalls all this while!

[@sharonleong7120]

Another interesting video. It was good. I love it very much. Thank you Ken.👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@dasensonadv]

I’ve been here 4 times….each visit, I used 1 mode of transportation…..by foot, bicycle, motor bike and hop on hop off- double-decker bus….hehe

[@AmorevsTheWorld]

welcome to my home state of Penang ! enjoy your stay here :)

[@BreakawayBites]

Ahhh... my favorite....Street food.....The famous Teochew Cendol all around Malaysia...Last time I was in Penang was 2019.... I have been to this particular Char Kuey Teow stall before.... Great you are enjoying local Malaysian cuisines.... Your tastebuds are getting accustomed to Asian dishes.....As always stay safe out there..and take care mate.

[@angiegan9202]

Penang is soooooo nice! So much yummy food memories ❤️❤️❤️ stay safe and have a blasts Ken 😍

[@karenteng3183]

Hi!, ken abroad...I'm penangite...I practically loves all the foods from my hometown..I'm now reside in kL..so always missing especially when watching your vlog while you eating.

[@diggindownunder8051]

Yummy video Ken ... Char kway teow is probably my favourite Malaysian dish

[@jjjayna]

You could have tried radish cake and pasembur at batu lanchang market. They are well known to locals who live nearby

[@ironmuzz]

Great video as usual. Some of my best food i had in Penang was: - Deens Maju - Nasi Kandar - Dim Sum Valet - Jawi House

[@davidchew]

As a Penangite living away from Penang, I must say that your choice of going to Bee Hooi for the oyster omelette was quite a surprise to me. I've been a patron of that shop for over 40 years now! Some of the stalls there have been there since day 1, passed on from generation to generation. Fantastisches Video! Gut erledigt!

[@bastiananthony3392]

Super video. thanks.

[@sunan894]

You are friendly food vlogger..always smile n laugh.

[@chaw294]

That was an awesome food vlog, Ken !!! Love the food and desserts you had....definately looked yummy. Yeah, if you see a long queue at the stalls, it implies that the food is good. Those 2 pastry shops "Ghee Hiang" and "Him Hiang" are famous for their different types of pastries/biscuits. I always get my biscuits from there. The biscuits which you bought are called "tau sah pneah". They are a bit dry though....good to eat them with a cup of coffee/ tea. Cost of raw ingredients has gone up hence the prices of food/desserts too went up. Least you could still get 5 items for RM50 plus 🤓😆👍

[@lynia6587]

Hi Ken 👋🏻 Penang is definitely the best place for food hunting especially hawkers food besides it's so cheap too 👍 from main dish to desserts they have so much to offer , I love Penang food they are the best be it malay dish , chinese or Indian food 👍 thanks for the Penang food vlog , awesome 👍🥰

[@chaw294]

Hi and good evening, Ken and everyone. Happy blessed Wednesday to all....🙏🙏🙏

[@KenAbroad]

Good evening Chaw 😊

[@secrets.295]

Just went back from Penang. Im missing it already 😔😔

[@khw373]

As the saying goes 'the longer the queue the food must be good' absolutely spot on, Ken!! Thanks for sharing your food log in Penang!! 👍😃

[@constancewestwood5831]

that is my hometown, Ken....enjoy the lovely variety.

[@shivaattanayake4904]

You should make a trip to Melaka too. Enjoying your videos

[@jeaninjapan463]

Is that Char Kuey Teow without chili? My husband always orders it without chili too but for me, chili gives CKT a deeper flavor.😋 You can ask for just a smidgen of chili. Also I think what you had is Tau Sar Pneah. Don’t quote me but if I’m not mistaken, Tambun biscuit is slightly different. Both with a mung bean filling but Tau Sar Pneah is bigger with a flakier, softer crust. Him Heang is my favorite too even though some people may disagree.😅 I enjoyed the video so much. Can’t wait to be back in my hometown Penang!🇲🇾 Edit: My recommendation for fried oyster is from OO White Coffee cafe. As for Bee Hooi, wan tan mee, chicken rice and poh piah are good!😋

[@KenAbroad]

Yeah the ckt was without chili 😅

[@kushal809]

Awesome vlogs 🔥🔥👍❤️❤️ love your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@faridahhusin7467]

What an amazing experience to just travel around like you do Ken...enjoy young man ...

[@dr.d.vincent549]

[@georgetownpenangmalaysia88]

This stall call Ah Boy Kuay Teow Ting in Georgetown. One of the famous Hawker Food in Penang. Thanks Ken Abroad share it out .

[@StephTheCoolKid]

The Oyster Omelette looks amazing!!!

[@tclilamn1161]

Wow, now you are in my home state, welcome, and enjoy your food-adventure! If you need home-cooked food, head to my home. Btw, I live on the mainland of Penang. I'll cook Malay authentic food for you! ..hehehe

[@mksun00]

Welcome back, more to enjoy!

[@CSChua]

Woah! I m impress. You eating oysters. Now I don't believe you don't like seafood 😀😀😀

[@DaveYeo]

I'm salivating just watching you eat....yes, Penang is a food haven, you will definitely put on weight if you stay on longer....have fun

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Ken, you always make me hungry. Liked and Shared. Happy Thursday. Roll on 100K.

[@danadeejay7763]

My fave is another unique kind of Oyster Omelette at Topspot Seafood Foodcourt in Kuching, it has got crispy texture dip in sauce...I'm not sure if it is still served at Premier 101 Food Centre (also huge famous street food in Kuching mostly serve Chinese menu). For Malay street food, frequently visited is Uptown Metrocity Matang. Also for traditional native cuisine, either Rumah Asap Tabuan Dayak or further down a bit is Langkau Arau Rumah Asap Dayak. Most stalls are open in the evening

[@deanlee3534]

That’s my favorite Cendul place, I grew up in the neighborhood and used to cycled there to get the cendul, way before it became super popular amongst tourists around the world. Back then it was RM0.80 per serving, so you can imagine how long before that was...

[@rcBorneo]

I have been to the char keoy teow restaurant and the teochew cendul stall, very popular indeed.

[@tillkoschig1963]

Very nice places and great food, as I commented already,I have been in Penang many,many times to renew my visa. Every time stayed in George Town,Banana Hotel

[@streetwalkerseye]

this video made me super hungry ........... but great video as always :D keep up the good work

[@manalittlesis]

Wow you manage to find that koay teow soup stall but there was once stall I preferred. It was at chow Rasta market. The soup was boiled from chicken, duck, bones. Best koay teow soup for breakfast.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Ken, u certainly can eat lots of really delicious n good street food in Penang with USD10.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

I think u could also include d gourmet pasta among other street food in d 10 dollars.

[@randysong5890]

Nice..! The Char Kuay Teow at Bee Hooi coffee shop is pretty good as well. Enjoy your time at Penang..!

[@skbeebee8923]

So proud of you, Ken...this vlog really good job and hit all the right spot for worth the money paid for as standard and quality maintained..to hear Him Hiang and Ghee Hiang from Ken, amazing.. favourite of many old timers from years ago..the cendol ,char kuey teow, okay throw theng all so we'll pronounced and described...yes, we always remember Greg and Jumi from Food and Footprints when we watch this vlog and how Ken progressing in taste buds ,soon to be Mark Weins 💪🤗😋

[@rajinderkaursidhu752]

Penang is my favourite place and also the food. Without fail, I will always have char keow teow and chendul whenever I am in Penang.

[@demher9826]

seeing that you are having a great time with asian street foods makes me appreciate our street food here more .. hopefully looking forward for you to try some filipino street soon if happens that you can manage to travel here as man we got really a lot of street food to offer & by watching these kind of contents makes me want to try our street food that i haven't been tried before just because of the long line 😹

[@KedaiNasi]

in Penang, you can get really2 quality food from street stalls, damn can't wait to go here next time

[@PosPsycho88]

Wow....excellent choices of meals you had. Love the Char Kway Teow and Oyster Omelette the best. Saw your reply on my email. Thank you

[@wendyleong1731]

Hi Ken! Well done at explaining the details of the food! You did your research - great effort! You are also missing some of the Penang famous food which I was really surprised such as Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu, Mee Udang, Pasembur, Nasi tomato 😂 Not forgetting their amazingly fresh seafood. There could be more and I will let Penangites tell you more hehe ..

[@roslihassan4943]

Sedap Ken❤Jalan-jalan & makan-makan macam-macam menu di P.Pinang.

[@dirtyarjun]

Been there in 2019 Beautiful place n yummy food :)

[@ExploreMasSabran]

Enjoy your Day in Kuching ✌️✌️✌️

[@aidenng5359]

Didnt really try the penang cendol before haha, the char kuey teow that u waited for 1 hour is crazy long for a waiting time for food. Really craving for the omelette that u had as my place (kuantan) dont really have many restaurants that serve good omelette

[@judyoh9008]

Although I am a Penangite, I never go to the chendol stall and the char koay teow at Siam Road, simply because I will never wait behind a long queue to buy food. I normally order my char koay teow without chinese sausage as I don't like the sweet taste of the sausage with the fried koay teow, although I love the sausage in claypot rice. As for the chinese pastry, tambun biscuit, you can also get varieties in some places, with salted egg, durian, sambal or black sesame. For oyster omelette, it taste better if it is prepared with duck eggs instead of chicken eggs, but very few places offer this variety now.

[@WanderingMunchers]

Yeah there are other alternatives where you can get delicious food without having to wait that long. I only went to Penang road famous teochew cendol when interstate travel was banned. That's the only time there's no long queue there.

[@slaw2224]

Same here! I am from KL, I eat char kway teow without Chinese sausage but I love it in clay pot rice!

[@noranora4936]

looks delicious ... yummy 😋

[@eat.live.travel]

Great video but it's making me hungry!😂

[@user-fn6oc2bi6u]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME

[@suezbibzmohdyusoff8498]

Hi ken..welcome back here dude

[@MichaelWhite-yf6zk]

Thanks for the ad while eating your first sweet’Carlsberg”

[@johnnymoi1227]

Oh man I visited the ckt shop a few days ago with my dad, unlucky timing if not would have loved to say hi

[@sideecm]

the best halal char kuey teow i taste was at bayan baru but i read they moved to seberang perai, so sad for me

[@frimadonaginting244]

Wow Ken's able to describe the meal ingredients accurately,all the years in Malaysia really paid off

[@hamzah1005]

I'm thinking what more interested in the chennel is about local food that other things in island...

[@kefarakefara9034]

Super sedap 👍😋 ' char Kuew teow mee 😋🤩'

[@bbbttt22]

Go Lebuh Cecil Market located near to the 1st Avenue mall. All penang street food inside. Almost half-price / without Q / better taste, than any famous stall u been up there. 1 market can cover all type of food.

[@nasirsalleh1071]

Please come to Tasek gelugor..jalan² & makan²..

[@AJohan]

Ken, they have a seating area for that shop, you need to walk further down from the cendol stall and the place is on the right.

[@arlenechin8156]

The crunchiness of the char koay teow is caused by beansprouts. You don't have to go to the "best" stalls in Penang, as they're over-run with tourists. You can generally get very good hawker food in Georgetown. It's not a foodie haven for nothing.

[@ebcho1]

Hi Ken you can also try some baked bread from the famous bakery shop called Continental Bakery on Nagore Road.

[@chandrawl]

There is white curry mie there very delicious

[@michaelleong1977]

I thought you were going to drink the soya sauce 🤣

[@henrywasabi]

the oyster omelette looks so good!

[@haswanazrimericanhassanmer7224]

Ken, if you up to challenge, try the Malay style Penang Char Kutiew.. Its watery compared to Chinese char kutiew. I think you will love it.

[@kefarakefara9034]

Cendol pulut n cendup kacang 😋😋🤩🤩👍👍 super sedap'. Cendol Penang island .

[@WanderingMunchers]

Ken here's another option for nyonya kuih: Li Er cafe pulau tikus. Also other kuih stalls to check out: "Penang famous samosa" stall, Queen Street and "Mamu kuih" stall outside Taman tun Sardon food court, Gelugor.

[@craigb2644]

Oyster omelette sounds delicious 😋

[@jl3306]

It is THE dish to have as street food in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and southern China (and I think Vietnam too). My name non-fish friends find this great as they're not into fresh oysters and sashimi

[@jl3306]

Try the Laksa in Malaysia/Singapore. Very good with noodles for lunch/dinner.

[@mohdhezry]

The power of the hand is real Mr Forrest

[@paulwilliams3902]

A good fried kway teow dish should have the "wok" flavour.

[@idamie8067]

Hi! Handsome, have a nice day in penang, malaysia.

[@julietvaz8180]

The base of the cendol was the red beans, the palm sugar was the dark brown syrup which was mix into ur dessert

[@paulwilliams3902]

Chendol is a common dessert in South East Asia.

[@madanbohadul6098]

Ya bro.. it's good.place

[@EleganceEdits.]

Big fan sir

[@KenAbroad]

Appriciate it 😊

[@WanderingMunchers]

I know you didn't get what you're looking for at Batu lanchang food court but there are other food stalls inside the food court that is worth checking out. Next time you're there, go to Tony ais kacang for a bowl of mouthwatering cendol without having to queue.

[@Dervin75]

13:10 what a nice box for this dry 🍮🤭

[@ChrisKinster]

3:00 Ken, please allow me to teach you a little about Chinese etiquette using chopsticks... you don't put them down, sticking into the food with the ends hanging out of the bowl. And especially not stick them in the food 90 degrees. That will make them look like joss sticks we use to pray to departed ancestors. Instead, when you need to put them down, place them across the bowl, with both ends out of the bowl, like how the noodles just arrived to you. Or place them on the table, resting on your little chilli plate, that's acceptable. `

[@booaks2980]

You forgot to stir the cendol a little bit so that the melaka sugars can spread out a bit and not concentrate at the bottom but is ok😁 Must be extra sweet at the bottom.
