I've been going to Malaysia now for over 20 years...your video shows why I keep going back. They have some of the most underrated foods. Admittedly it doesn't look that great, but put it in your mouth and WOW! You get some of the best flavors in the world. Some of my favorites that you didn't mention is Baby Kai Lan a veg dish (must be "baby" not the regular one), Butter Prawns (unbelievable taste), Chili Pan Mee (don't put all the chili in 🥵), Laksa (not the Asam/sour one), Prawn mee (the bigger the better), and Ais Kachang (I like this over Chendol)... These are not all Malay dishes, some are Chinese, but I can't find them anywhere outside Malaysia. The cultures have blended and the food is great. If you get a chance give Indian food a try, it is so much more flavorful that what you get in the US. Sharing this video with all my friends on FB that don't understand why I keep going back to Malaysia...I just got back 3 days ago from a 1 month stay in KL. May be going back again in May...the food is calling me.🤣🤣

[@PureDetour]

Right? Malaysian food is SO underrated internationally. The deep flavours, the variety, the way you can find dozens of dishes on any given block. It is food heaven. We were lucky enough to spend 4 months and it wasn't nearly enough to try everything. We're also already talking about where we'll visit when we come back. Hope we did the food some justice so your friends know why you keep returning! 😂

Malaysian food use a lot of local fresh ingredient and spices that are difficult to be available in other country.

Love this video , as a malaysian we proud about us food but we also like to hear more , like n dislike so we can learn more , for example this dish Assam Laksa malaysian love it but always give difference view other people or foreign , its like durian

[@PureDetour]

Hi! Malaysians should be proud of their food, it's really something special. I'm surprised to hear that some people don't like Assam Laksa, it's my favourite! Durian on the other hand, I can see how some people aren't crazy about it. I think it's OK, depending on the variety, but durian isn't something I NEED to have like the Assam Laksa. To each their own I guess, right?

[@julieleong7923]

So happy you found Malaysia! My kids are grateful that I cook them classics every Sunday here in the Midwest😋

[@darylsam9208]

Try going to Sabah and Sarawak ok.More foods over here.

[@PureDetour]

Next time we visit Malaysia we will certainly visit those areas. We loved Malaysia so much, but really only got to see a small part of it on this trip. So much more to see (and eat! 😂)

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Wow, I have a lot of eating to do. Thanks for the run down of foods in Malaysia!

You have so much eating to do, lol.

[@howard1148]

Malaysia Ranks 39th In The World's Top 50 Best Cuisines, i don't know where all this food went wrong 🙁

[@PureDetour]

Those lists are so silly and arbitrary. Each person has their own personal taste, and feelings about a cuisine. We would certainly place Malaysia MUCH higher, wouldn't you?

[@hanawolfgang]

@@PureDetour Oh thanks 😄

[@kayellai5278]

@@PureDetour There must be a separation rating between street food and fine dining. Malaysia basically are street food. Compare French fine dining and Malaysian street food, French wins hands down. Compare the taste, Malaysia wins all the time. Malaysia flavour is very heavy and pungent that you cannot forget.

If you like extremely good fried rice or fried kuey Tiao go to Sin Nam Hong Cafe in George Town just beside Komtar its an old cafe & the owner has been doing this for 25 yrs

Angela is from Canada, Geoff is American. There are some Malaysian restaurants, but not as many as there should be considering how delicious the food is. Things like Thai, Japanese and Indian are much more common. Should be more Malaysian restaurants!

Assam Laksa (good standard) D'Laksa (Aeon Shopping Mall -Ipoh, Falim & Station 18). Chendol one of best in Ipoh, Bercham (near petrol station upon entrance to the area (Tesco), road side stall. Everyday sell out.
