The first owner was just so genuinely happy and proud of his restaurant. That alone makes me want to visit it.

For those asking for the $3 place address; No.8 Jalan AU 5D/1 Taman Lembah Keramat Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia It's just a few minutes from Zoo Negara

[@couththememer]

Not far at all lol

[@christopheradisurya1861]

As an Indonesian, we and Malaysians may have different views and sometimes clash on them. But one thing that we can agreed on is that we love each other’s cuisine. I especially, really love Malaysian cuisines because they’re like the perfect blend of many cultures like Chinese, Indian and also Indonesian. That first buffet is amazing, not only it’s cheap, the varieties are also great for that value. Definitely going to go there the next time I plan a trip to Malaysia.

[@Musenshi]

gaduh-gaduh manja biasa lah tu hahaha. apa pon ayam geprek, ayam penyet terbaik!

[@sethazmil5610]

You know when i travel around the world, sometimes i have difficulties finding good food, but i have never felt like that when i go to indonesia. Its nice. We almost speak the same language. The culture is pretty much the same and its dirt cheap ! Unlike those fuckers in singapore. HAHAHAHA JOKING

[@choyjoonkit]

tbh not about different views but just Indonesian is well known to be petty and wanna claim everything.

[@DanielLee-qz1yd]

As a Malaysian-American; For an American, it is incomprehensible that a buffet costs $3.20. But for a Malaysian, it starts making more sense at RM15. Food and labor is cheaper in Malaysia as compared to the US. Can’t compare it one to one, gotta compare it relatively

[@mentat1341]

Nevrrmind the cost to get to Malaysia for an American. That makes this buffet cost a lot more .

[@apair4002]

In the video he compare cheap & expensive buffet & cheap buffet won because of the flavor & price. You hear he keep comment the expensive buffet has no flavor or dull taste. Off course it is high quality food in the hotel however the hotel failed to elevate the flavor to every food they have.

[@user-kt5ic3fj1x]

rm15 untuk buffet ok la tu , sekarang makan tengah hari sepinggan pn dah rm11-rm16

[@arthurwong9017]

The comparison does help us Malaysians on the tourism sector 😊 Of course we can't compare it 1 to 1. We are just happy someone is giving our cuisine the exposure it needs. Welcome to Malaysia everyone!

[@Sniperboy5551]

Of course. That same concept applies everywhere in the world.

I just moved away from home and watching this video made me miss Malaysian food even more. Was talking to a colleague and he said "I love Malaysia, you guys did justice to food! All the good stuff and plenty of 24/7 eateries?! Every time I go to Malaysia, I allocate at least 50% of my expenses just for eating. Even the fast food is good!". I miss my nasi lemak, spicy sambal, spicy mekdi ciken, the list goes on and on

[@kevenquinlan]

Uhhh, this was a great video. Malay is interesting- they have a lot of different influences as they should given where they are geographically. The first buffet looked awesome. Don't know about the Fish Soup but everything else looked decent. The other buffet- well, that looked like an expensive American Buffet. Ya can't really compare the 2, it's just a whole different get down. Apples and Oranges. Anywho- thanks for the Vid. SKOL!

[@JimDean002]

I would imagine the differences in the clientele as well. If I pay for a very expensive buffet I'm going to eat the most expensive stuff there and make sure I get my money's worth. But a lot of the people eating at the $3 buffet are probably regular clients who don't have that pressure so if they only want to eat some tofu then that's what they're going to eat. So you don't have as many people going in there with the mindset that they're going to break the bank.

[@MaryGray-zb3xi]

Wow Sonny both Buffets look really yummy! I would have trouble choosing between the two so would probably eat at both! Thank you for showing us these Amazing buffets!

So great to see you enjoying your time here in Malaysia, but it won't be just Kuala Lumpur, you should check out Penang Island some day, lots of great history and food too. You can even check out the hotels at Batu Feringghi and relax at the beaches.

[@misanthropicsophist]

i love the edits on this one good job editor

[@tzinyernchong1939]

Love to see you enjoying the food, especially the local dishes, BUT rule no. 1 at buffets - skip the carbo and make a beeline for the protein (but not tofu) in the following order: seafood (but not fishcake), red meat, white meat. I bet the first buffet wins the bang for your buck (and for taste, effort and local culture).

I think he chose the $3 one cos the food was a more authentic Malaysian food while the $42 one is good too, but there's a lot of food that he has tried before. I've been to a lot of buffets in Malaysia and they tend to serve food with expensive ingredients like the seafood but it doesn't necessarily means it tastes better than a local restaurant.

[@SeanHendy]

Sonny, another absolutely banging video. Many thanks for taking the time once more to take us on your travels. Granted, originally an Indonesian dish but available in many SE Asian countries, Beef Rendang is right up there as one of my favourite dishes from any cuisine.

[@bird6976]

LOL, Indonesian started to claim Malaysian food as theirs again

[@shinachikudidnthappen..mov9196]

Shameless Indonesian always took credit of what the immigrants brought to Malaysia, and thus spread to their country (as well as Thai, Singapore, Brunei). Sate, pancake (apam balik), nasi goreng etc. In this case, rendang ia obviously rooted from Keralan dishes. If you are a cook, this is undeniable since the spices/herbs combination is too similar to be a coincidence due to geographical factor. Once you looked into historical factor, though, you'd notice Melaka/Nusantara is closely linked to Kerala back then due to spice trade. That's why i said shameless, taking credit of what the immigrants brought to Malaysia. Okinawan slang is another language Indo shamelessly claimed to have their influence despite zero intervention from them historically; it is Melaka that trades with Rukyu Island back then, so why all of the sudden Indonesia gets to claim Okinawan "champuru" or "munari" as theirs? They are the epitome of "if you tell a lie so many times, people will bound to believe it", and Indonesia and their love of hoax is widespread due to their refusal to learn or research on their own.

[@SeanHendy]

@@bird6976 Really?!?!?! ' Believed to originate in West Sumatra, Indonesia, by the Minangkabau people, the dish is commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.' 'Rendang is officially recognised as one of Indonesia's national dishes. Six types of rendang preparations have also been designated as intangible cultural heritage by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture.' Now, anything funny about what I commented?
