what gear do you guys use to record?

[@herryherry8659]

The cendol in Penang, it is the original taste of cendol..cendol, cooked coconut milk, palm sugar, shaved ice & kidney bean.....

[@saralacy5133]

nice tops! where u get them

[@zikriwaie109]

@@saralacy5133 Uniqlo. Got em 3 pieces for 70rm. It's actually an inner wear for winter, they got it sale this summer. But im using it as one piece T-shirt ☺️

The tops we are wearing in this video are from ASOS Basics (Adriana) and Dylan is wearing Tommy Hilfiger 🤗

The ideal way to order a nasi kandar would be first to tell them you would like to have nasi kandar, then choose the type of rice (white or bryiani - not all places have briyani tho) then choose the protein and sides, eg. Fried chicken, black beef (sounds weird but its delicious), squid, then the vegetables, and then ask them for mixed gravy/sauce or kuah campur in Malay (pronounced champur, C is pronounced as CH in Malay). What makes Nasi Kandar special is the mixed gravy, its pretty unique to the region. Hope u guys get another chance to try nasi kandar.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh I see!! Thank you very much 🤗🤗 We will have to try it again 😅😍

[@leifjerami]

Yes, it should be in one plate. Try to google how it looks like on a normal plate.

[@blackknightshark7732]

Perfect! 😎👍

[@herryherry8659]

Actually, 'Campur'..no need to pronounced 'ch', just 'c', like you pronounced 'cendol'...

[@thomascheah4538]

Nasi Kandar is great with Fish Curry esp in Penang, fish eggs, sotong (squid) , beef rendang, or more tender different types of curry chicken. Vege like steamed or chopped ladies fingers, or green veggies and top with Pappadum crackers goes well.

[@syee86]

1:40 "Teh" pronounce is origin from Hokkien province dialect, and most china tea was export and plant in Hokkien before it start plant globally.

[@bukitkatilmp]

The Hokkien mee you had is called Prawn Mee in Kuala Lumpur. In Kuala Lumpur, Hokkien Mee is black in colour with thick yellow noodles. Btw the Nasi Kandar should have had mixed gravy and some more vegetables. Should try again at Hameediyah's Nasi Kandar. Theirs is much more authentic.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh thanks for the recommendations! We definitely should try it again! 🤗🤗

[@bukitkatilmp]

@@2Passports1Dream No worries. Btw do try Char Kuey Teow also. It a rice noodle dish that originates from Penang and the best ones can be found in Penang too!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Yes correct in selangor / kl we named it prawn noodles. But in penang they called it hokkien noodles. But the confusion starts here. In kl or selangor hokkien noodles are dark soy and light soy sauce with pork lard, vege, fish cake, prawns, meat.

[@muhd7144]

If in Georgetown, Penang I will inevitably do these two things : 1. Breakfast at Transfer Road - "roti canai ayam set" or "roti goyang" and teh tarik 2. Lunch at Kapitan Restaurant, Chulia Street - chicken tandoori and garlic naan bread washed with their "susu badam" (almond milk)

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh brilliant!! Thank you for the recommendations! We have already gone to kapitan (we really enjoyed it 😍😍)

[@aaronblueberry]

I personally like to eat my ABC unmixed because mixing makes the ice melt faster and I also like it when every scoop you take from a different side of an unmixed ABC is a different taste with different ingredients being scooped. 😋

[@2Passports1Dream]

Yea, we thought the same, but it still melted so fast!!

[@aaronblueberry]

@@2Passports1Dream Yeah it has been really hot lately, so maybe that's why the ABC melted so quickly. Since you guys have a sweet tooth, you can try this dessert called Muah Chee. It's similar to the Japanese dessert mochi which is steamed sticky glutinous rice dough cut into small pieces coated with sugary grinded peanut. You can probably find a stall that sells it in gurney drive in the evening

[@alifhashim3752]

Subscribed to your channel for promoting Malaysian food and culture. Thank you.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Thank you so much 🤗😍🇲🇾

[@jehanc]

You are correct,if you eat ice kachang,you scoop a bit of everything and eat them. At some stage it will melt and so you need to start sipping the mixture water.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Heheh it was a tasty one 😍

[@MarWanshNomad]

🇲🇾😍Food in Malaysia are delicious and healthy so enjoy that guys 😍👏

[@2Passports1Dream]

We love it!! Thank you 🤗🤗

[@revivaratharaju7792]

Nasi kandar normally served with mix curry on rice (ur rice covered by curry frm the display counter)

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh I see!!!

[@bakkutteh-sn3gp]

@23:07 it is Grass Jelly, locals calls in cincau in the South and Lengkong in the North. Your 'Sarsi' could be gula Melaka or palm sugar.

[@jamiecampbell1271]

If you like a sweet drink, you have to try an iced Milo at any coffee/tea shop. It is really popular in Malaysia and the taste is especially amazing there. Keep up the great vids!

[@2Passports1Dream]

That sounds amazing!! Thank you for the recommendation! 🤗

[@mafarnsims]

And mix your drinks before drinking. Drinks served in Malaysia are not mixed, you have to do it yourself otherwise sugar will all be at the bottom

[@jamiecampbell1271]

Haha the fun part is it being unmixed. Drop the straw to the bottom and you get a hit of super strong sweet warm choclately goodness, then as you lift the straw higher you can modulate the strength towards an refreshing hit of ice at the top. Try sliding the straw while you suck. Also after it seems like the drink is over, go back ot it a few minutes later after the ice has melted a bit and you get a bonus refreshing icey milky goodness to cleanse your month.

[@amrimohd6654]

Not just any iced Milo … go for the Milo Dinosaur or Milo Tunggang

[@mafarnsims]

@@jamiecampbell1271 wow you have mastered the art of drinking Malaysian drinks, I bow to you 😁

[@barbaram2196]

My favorite food in Georgetown is rojak, at 101 Rojak place. Using your hand to eat enhances the flavor, so go for it, that is the right way. Just remember you can only use your right hand, never the left one.

Hehe it’s a shame for Adriana since she is left handed!! Thank you for the recommendation! 😍

[@2Passports1Dream]

Yes they do! 🥰

[@muhammadaslam7289]

Nasi Kandar... the way to go about it, go through the counter u see all the different dishes, the server usually will ask "nasi biasa ka nasi bryani" means white rice or bryani rice... then proceed for the type of kuah "sauce" u want... most general, u can just say, "kuah campur" means mix sauces... then u can proceed for the proteins and vege or condiment u want... as for kuah or sauce, my fav, is madu(honey-a sweet based sauce), kurma and curry...

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh I see, thanks for letting us know! It sounds like we really need to try it again!

[@muhammadaslam7289]

@@2Passports1Dream go for ayam goreng rempah (spice fried chicken) always the best if u saw they just pick it up from the pan... and all the best in experiencing one of Malaysian favorite dish...especially in penang....

Hello. Nice to see you guys. The other green drink that the shop owner recommended is made from Amra fruit also known as kedondong fruit.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Thanks for sharing!

Another great video….thanks guys! I need to take notes of all these yummy dishes 😍

Heheh definitely! Thank you so much for watching 🤗😍

[@mohdzaki1089]

The original cendol is this one...quite runny....the one in Malacca is the upgraded one I guess.....,..in Penang ,they called it ice kacang for cendol

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh interesting!! Both were tasty but so different from eachother!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thanks for sharing this absolutely wonderful video n your food explorations in Penang, all under USD2 each dish. All d food u guys had r lovely, d prawn noodle, cendol, asam laksa, nasi kandar, ice kacang. Value for money.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D cendol u guys had is d original cendol version, without durian n ice cream.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D asam laksa is synonym to its name. Asam is a Malay word for sour.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

I'm not sure what veg u guys referred to in d asam laksa. D asam laksa is normally garnished with veg n herbs ie shredded lettuce, cucumber, onion, red chillies, mint, ginger torch n pineapple.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D veg with d nasi kandar, could be bitter gourd, didn't have a close look to d veg.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D two green drinks, one is asam, u guys know it already means sour, n other one u said ambarella, a sourish fruit, it's called kedondong in Malay.

[@colinraine8245]

I love Georgetown... on a morning l would go to a outside food stall and get a proper cup of tea and a freshly made samosas...also The Red Garden food court is fantastic great stalls ( Anthony Bourdain had been there) had the best chicken satay done on a proper bbq ever .. the peanut sauce was the best I've ever had .

[@2Passports1Dream]

Sounds amazing. Georgetown is great!

[@bukitkatilmp]

Yes the two cities Anthony Bourdain loved most in Malaysia were Penang and Kuching, cause two of his best food in Southeast Asia comes from these two cities - namely, Asam Laksa and Sarawak Laksa.

[@AhchiBobo]

The green drink is made from ambarella known in sri lanka (june plum) In the caribbean it is known as golden apple. In Malaysia it is also called Buah Kedondong

[@alihms]

Northern Malay dialect calls kedondong as ambra. Never knew the word actually came from ambarella.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh interesting! 😍🤗 it was so tasty!!

[@cleaner1239]

hi, you can check ichang rm nasi kandar video, how to order nasi kandar like a pro. but for sure the price will be more than usd2

Chandol from the indian people. Ice kacang chinese. In a malay stall ABC :- Ais Batu Campur. And if you see ABC soup. An ABC soup recipe is Asian and very common in Malaysian and Chinese cuisines. ABC soup stands for vitamins A, B & C from carrots, potatoes and tomatoes.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh interesting!! Thanks for letting us know 🤗🤗

[@cheerbearcarebear2968]

The asam mentioned with the drink, Asam is malay language to the dried sour plum added to the blended lime juice. Sometimes asam are also added into umbra. However, Asam in asam laksa is referring to tamarind. The sour taste of the soup is mainly due to tamarind and unripe pineapple.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh I see!! It was so delicious 😍

[@Ruriko.Y]

I don't think people use tamarind in asam laksa, probably just for an added sour taste. the asam in asam laksa refers instead it's asam gelugur or arcinia atroviridis (i asked uncle wiki). it's the main ingredient in making laksa. but idk how people in penang make their laksa, because kedah & perlis laksa use mainly asam gelugur.

[@DolahDaleh-iu4pu]

The ambar juice or kedondongjuice (what is Kedondong? (Well you can google it out. ilove kedondong juicewith asamboi at kedai ikan bakar at kepalaBatas nearby

[@andufalha]

Not far from that cendol stall you're having there's an uncle selling roasted chestnuts. down the alley from the roasted chestnuts there's a couple more stalls & restaurant selling nasi padang, roti bakar (toasted bread), cucur udang (prawn fritters of some sort), and fried fruit fritters such as banana, sweet potato etc

[@2Passports1Dream]

We saw so many roasted chestnuts!! We normally have them at Christmas time hehe 😅 Thank you for all the recommendations!

[@andufalha]

@@2Passports1Dream hehehe 😅😅anyhow do enjoy Penang. There's a whole loads type of food there. Another one of my favorite is called Rojak Buah, and I frequent a stall at a place called Gurney Drive and the stall name is G.P Soon. There's also other stalls there that sells varieties of local delicacies be it by malay chinese or indian 😍

[@hushy9695]

The ice kacang dessert used Sarsi syrup (similar taste to root beer) as the base

[@2Passports1Dream]

Ohhhhh I see!! That makes sense 🤗🤗

[@muhammadfaris67]

If you plan to stay longer in Malaysia, I recommend you visit Terengganu too😁🤙...you can try nasi dagang,keropok lekor(fish crackers),satar,and celup tepung. "Celup tepung" is a fried food that is dipped into flour to get a crunchy texture, it comes in 3 types of food options namely fish, squid, and shrimp.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Thank you so much for the recommendation! 🤗🤗

[@pejal7235]

Also i suggest if you want visit johor you must try goreng pisang=banana fried with sambal kicap only have in johor with sambal kicap, another state don't have this😋its very delicious or you can eat pisang goreng cheese= banana fried cheese,in johor best food is asam pedas(is very spicy compare to another state in Malaysia .

Haha no way?? 😂😍 That’s so awesome! Thank you very much for watching 🤗🇲🇾

[@Vablonsky]

Everything looked very interesting. But, the one thing that caught my eye particularly was the assam laksa because it's the only dish of the ones you showcased that I've had. And, it was fairly recent as I ate it for a video that I filmed. And, I couldn't help but compare. Mine was completely different. The broth was only slightly sour; and, it featured tuna. It didn't have pineapple in it but slivers of cucumber. It was fishy; and, that was the dominant flavor. Plus, the noodles were not thick but very thin. Thin rice noodles.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Was it a Penang dish? Apparently they can vary soooo much depending on the area that they are made in! This one is known for being rather sour, for example!

[@Vablonsky]

@@2Passports1Dream The assam laksa that I got was from a restaurant here in the U.S. And, it identified the laksa as being Penang style. I think the difference is simply due to the fact that Malaysian food overseas is bound to be different than that from the source (i.e., Penang itself). Anyway, thanks for the video. Safe travels and keep up the good work.

[@purpleluv4ever]

Thin rice noodles... 'Sounds' like Sarawak Laksa

Nice video. Next time go to Kayu Nasi kandar in Bukit Jambul. Get the fried chicken. Ask them to dipped it in kuah madu. Put veggie which is fried cabbage. Then ask them KUAH CAMPUR. they will mixed all the curry together. This is my favourite way to eat nasi kandar in Kayu Nasi kandar. It's really tasty and I will not miss this dish whenever Im in Penang. Try it if you have the opportunity later. Hope u guys have a nice time in Malaysia and please come back.

[@zakirhassan2310]

Hello Usually when we eat nasi kandar you mixed 5 to 7 gravy together with the rice. Not on individual plate. Once you get all the curries on the rice than choose your protein and vegtable. Remember Nasi Kandar the gravy/ curries are mixed atleast 5 types of them . You eat it the wrong way. Pelita is overated. You can go to Hamideeyah or Deen Nasi Kandar. Most famous is Line Clear Nasi Kandar but too pricey. Should also try roti canai Jalan transfer for breakfast

[@2Passports1Dream]

Wow no way!! Hehe sounds awesome 😍😍

[@nuruliman1192]

Nasi kandar place you must try: Hameediyah or Deen Maju. The best protein to go with it is Ayam Bawang (onion chicken) and Daging Hitam (black beef). Must ask for kuah campur, thats what makes it a real nasi kandar. Enjoy!

[@2Passports1Dream]

Thank you for the recommendation! 🤗🤗

[@littlenewthings2662]

Finally you tried Ice Kacang (ABC)! Actually this is the Penang version of it, that actually has "atap chi" (Atap palm fruit) that is usually pickled with sugar that gives a twist other States of Malaysia don't have. In the 80s the primary school kids even learned the song of Ice-Kacang. 😂 that is how famous it is as a local ice-shaved dessert. I think the one you had is rootbeer with rose syrup. In Perak they usually use gula Melaka + rose syrup as the mix. The look alike but taste slightly different. If you see green ones they are usually cendol. Sometimes comes in bright pink. Ice-Kacang is meant to have it "sloppy" to the point you can even drink the dessert up, just like Ramly burger the famous "sloppy joe". And yes, Asam Laksa (of different types from different states), one of the main ingredient is pineapple. By the way, many Malaysians (probably because of Asam Laksa) actually do not mind the "Hawaian pizza" that is pizza with pineapple on it haha.

Hello! We use Sony a7c then use the software that comes with it to stabilise all the footage - it’s great!

@@2Passports1Dream thanks for the info, once again great job 👍🏻

[@khairilhafizi]

the best way to eat nasi kandar is for you guys to ask for kuah campur which translate to mixed gravy. then you can enjoy nasi kandar better

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh I see! Thank you 🤗🤗

[@goldfishempire8093]

Nasi Kandar taste best with Kua Campur (Mix Gravy). Teh Tarik are better from Muslim vendors where they really "Tarik" (Pull) the Tea and that's why you get bubble's when it's being served to you.

Oh I see! Thanks for letting us know 😍🤗

[@hockkeetan7161]

I think you are missing char kuey teow which is charcoal fried rice flat noodle. Penang is very famous for this for the chinese in Malaysia and nyonya fooods which is quite expensive though. Nyonya is offsprings chinese who married local malay. They speak Malay and still maintaining chinese culture.

We ate it sooooo much off camera - absolutely delicious! 🤗🤗

Penang laksa should try at air itam near kek lok si temple.

When you have a bowl of curry with or without meat, you do not pour the whole curry on top of the rice. You scoop on the rice as you eat. Same for the meat.

[@ericchoo5770]

The first thing u did right with the Hokkien Mee or they call it Prawn noodle is to finish the soup at the very end. The correct way to eat the noodle is to scoop the soup and noodle in soup spoon and eat it together. Same goes with Laksa, prawn noodle, curry noodle etc. The broth is the soul of every noodle in Penang food that's why the hawker seller don't serve u extra soup(if u notice). Not many Malaysian know this except Penangite. For Nasi kandar, u can try to tell them 'kuah dulu' means mix all the curry sauce in the rice before u choose any dishes(if u like your rice full of curry flavour then u should give it a try). Wish u guys have a nice trip in Malaysia.

Oh great!! Thank you so much 😍🤗

The middle part in the ais kacang could be root beer syrup.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Makes sense!! 🤗 Tasted just like it!

[@solehsolehsoleh]

I don't know if that's really Root beer because normally the dark red syrup used is Rose Syrup plus other sweet syrup. Oh, and in Malay the letter C is Always a "CH" (ca ci cu ce co ce) never "K" ie Ais Kac(h)ang, C(h)endol, Air Batu C(h)ampur. btw Are you still in the north? You should visit Cameron Highlands as there's not much travel vlog youtuber who went there but it's very beautiful. There are Strawberry farm, honeys and most importantly, Tea plantation. ooh, and I should also mention Fraser Hill nicknamed 'Little England' because of English/British architecture, but I personally don't know what should you do there. Check them out.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh I see! That makes a lot more sense! 🤗 We won’t have time time to visit Cameron highlands but hope to come back in the future - they look cool! (Although the colder climate isn’t something we like hehe)

[@keangwooichoo6138]

And for butter chicken and tandori please try kapitan

[@2Passports1Dream]

We’ve been there for food! Tasty 😍

[@danielchewkj]

that nasi kandar looks so sad lol. as someone pointed out, queue up at the food counter - choose your rice - white/biryani - choose whatever u want to eat - proteins, vege, etc - MIX ALL THE GRAVY :D just tell them "kuah/kari campur" (pronounced 'coo-ah/curry chumpur') and get yourself a nice delicious plate of nasi kandar - don't forget the pappadoms

[@2Passports1Dream]

Woops. We got it wrong again 😂

[@proudlynomadic]

We could watch you both all the time and never get tired of it haha 🤗. All of the food (and drinks) looked great but that fish paste noodle soup (can't spell the name and not butcher it) looks sooooo good 😍. Keep sharing withe the world you two 🤗❤

[@2Passports1Dream]

Thank you so much guys ❤️😍 would be even nicer if it was shared with you two (althoigh let’s be honest dessert isn’t for sharing - everyone needs their own! 😂) ❤️
