China Town Street Food in Malaysia!! The Good and the Weird!!

Again … the production team of the show and Sonny’s humor equals top notch entertainment

[@chopsticksandpizza4598]

I am an AMerican living in Dongguan, China... my wife and I are going to KL in late January 2024... She is Chinese... we cannot wait to visit Chinatown

[@Surstromming22]

if you live in China you might be underwhelmed in KL's Chinatown. it's really not that great.

[@nicholaslee5473]

As a Malaysian Chinese, I have never been to Chinatown, because we call it Petaling Street. Technically Malaysia doesn't have a Chinatown, because Chinese people are Malaysian as well, so Chinese food is everywhere. But then one day the government decided to jump on the tourism bandwagon and promoted Petaling Street as the "Malaysian Chinatown".

You never had Laksa? I love love good Laksa. My wife and I will travel up to Vancouver, BC to eat Chinese and Malaysian food and my favorite is Laksa. There is a really good lobster laksa. In-between trips, I will make at home. The spicy coconut soup is a must.....

Malaysian here & those yellow noodles certainly aren’t spaghetti, lol! They do absorb some sauces & flavours but don’t completely soak them up like a sponge (compared to rice noodles and such). I’m so happy to see 🇲🇾 vids on here! 🇲🇾♥️

[@ReviewMedic]

Pretty sure it's egg noodles. correct me if I'm wrong.

[@racheldesireelifestyle]

@@ReviewMedicyes, Malaysian yellow noodles are thick and eggy noodles!

[@kenjidc2107]

@@ReviewMedic there's no egg in it. It's yellow due to food coloring and also alkaline water (lye water) were added in during the making process.

Hi Sonny, my daughter lived in Malaysia and met one of her best friends there, from Chicago. I have watched some of your video extras and understand how complex and time consuming it is to produce these amazing videos. An American film crew came to my house to make a documentary about my daughter and son in-law.... i had no idea, how much effort, time, money and equipment it took....

[@theboz1419]

I lived in Chicagoland and met my wife, whom lived in Malaysia via Facebook games almost 13 years ago. She and I both live in Washington with our two kids . She is currently on a 10 month deployment with the Navy Reserves, due to be home in a couple months.

[@kelliqh2721]

Thats awesome, My daughter has just spent time with her friend in Chicago, last week.... and the Aussie husband that her friend found working together in Malaysia. Well done to you and your family... I too am working away at the moment. Hence why I spend time on here. Its hard being away... My dad was navy.@@theboz1419

The ayam masak kicap is chicken cooked in soy sauce. Not to be confused with ketchup. Rm12 is a bit pricey to be honest. Usually nasi kampung places are cheaper!

[@chronophobic]

Hmm.. for that portion in the middle of KL, RM 12 is a steal in my opinion. There’s no doubt price are more affordable in rural area,They’re often taste better and distinctive as well!

[@timungcina]

In KL... Its very cheap

[@junejiha4454]

Yesss! Ayam kicap not ketchup hahaha. And I was so stressed on how he didn't even touch the rice. Ayam kicap is the best with rice! 😂

[@matpokai]

its KL bai..whats cheap?

[@sum41king]

White rice RM2, ayam kicap RM5, gulai nangka RM3, tempe RM2 and you still complaining that it was pricey?

[@brusselssproutwuh3595]

keep in mind in Malaysia, the term "Ketchup" usually and most likely and is probably exclusively refers to soy sauce. We call ketchup tomato sauce but we call soy sauce "ketchup" or kicap. So what you had was Ayam Kicap or soy sauce chicken. The cook probably isn't familiar with the term soy sauce.

[@Brent-rm2ws]

Kicap is pronounced khi chup

[@sarikaFauzi]

if you look up the origin of the word ketchup, it actually came from Malay and Chinese for fermented sauce.

[@maidestriza301]

[@taylorhittner2157]

For the Mee Tarik; Hand Pulled Noodles, these are mainly from China predominantly Muslim Chinese. The one shown firstly are called 'knife cut' noodles. These are wheat dough using a 'blade' to slice. Textures of the noodle are amazing. My favourite!!!

[@nemoExcel]

Hi Sonny. Thanks for reviewing food in my country. Anyways, I believe the seller must had introduced "ayam masak kicap"... Kicap means sauce. And he was referring to the thick dark soy sauce. Not really meant it as "ketchup". Cheers bro

[@calvingsc]

Am so glad the Yooi Kee CCF 01:02 and Lai Foong beef noodles 08:23 made the cut. I grew up with them!

Laksa is a noodle that uses coconut milk, and it varies by state in Malaysia. such as curry laksa (KL) Sarawak, Nyonya Melaka, Johor, Penang, and kedah. Some are good, some are not.

[@Brent-rm2ws]

Two types. Laksa Assam with tamarind - sourish. Laksa lemak in KL like our curry noodles in Penang. With coconut milk

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

Many Malay laksa soup varieties do not use coconut milk

[@iffasyahirah1236]

actually ketchup(kicap) terms in Malaysia usually refers to the "soy sauce bean"-that are usually sweet/some are more salty it not like a ketchup which is tomato one that usually you used for

[@marverickstudio]

Same with Indonesia, kecap

[@rambutketiak]

According to the real history, kecap or ke-tsiap is actually the soy based one. Some English guy brought that back to England and it was a hit. And then someone else brought that to America. Because tomato is abundant there, they made ketchup using tomato. 😂

[@HolyRain89]

​@@rambutketiaklearned something new

[@SiPakRubah]

Yeah, ketchup is actually a corrupted word of kicap, if I'm not mistaken If he wanted a ketchup chicken, he should try ayam masak merah then

[@higashirinchiah1013]

Ketchup originated from South East Asia as Kicap 😂

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

super video ❤❤❤❤

[@charvang]

Great video Kumbo, showing these young guys how its done!

[@AiMay83]

Should visit Perak. Towns like Ipoh, Kampar and Taiping have a lot of interesting food 😊

[@bioweapon83]

The chicken dish at the Malay's mixed rice stall is ayam kicap which literally translates to soy sauce chicken not ketchup 😂

[@halfonasack]

was looking for this comment, Sony mistakenly thought Kicap is Ketchup. Kicap is actually Soy Sauce and not based from Tomato.

[@jadeandblood]

I guess it's the same as the localized vers of Japan's cider/sparkling water 😅

[@iamneoweisheng89]

Funfact: the word ketchup originated from kicap

[@sususegar]

@@iamneoweisheng89 specifically, ketchup/kicap came from the Chinese word originally meant for fish sauce

I have recently been traveling to Thailand, China, Vietnam, Singapore, and Beunei and got a chance to explore their foods. When you are eating the best food in the world every day, didn't take you long to know what is good and weird food in Asia. All the best chefs are in the US. I would say.

Tried frog twice in Asia and it's undeniably good.. a lot of bone and not much meat but is definitely worth it 👍🏻
