Everyone Told Me To Come Here (Penang, Malaysia) 🇲🇾

In this video I walk around Georgetown, Penang Island to see what the city has to offer. First I made my way to the seaside where I met some friendly fishermen. Then I made my way to the old town where I had a breakfast at Café Melo maps.app.goo.g... near St. George's Anglican Church maps.app.goo.g... which apparently is the oldest church in South-East Asia.
I continued my walk and made a quick stop at the Goddess Of Mercy Temple maps.app.goo.g...
After this I sent a postcard to my grandmother at a shop opposite of the Sri Mahamariamman Temple maps.app.goo.g...
Also I made a quick stop at Kapitan Keling Mosque maps.app.goo.g... which is an absolut masterpiece!
To end my old town exploration I took a small tour on a trishaw which is a bicyle tuktuk. The driver had lots of great knowledge about the city.

I m from Penang but staying in KL now. I always love to watch videos of foreigners visiting Penang & their impression of it. The kopitiam boy did not explain what kaya is properly to you. It is a local preserve..like jam...but made from coconut milk + eggs + brown sugar..in this instance, pandan leaf extract is added..hence it is called pandan kaya & it is sweet & creamy. Hope u like it.

[@timtense]

Thanks for the explanation, it was very delicious!

the trishaw man is a good tourist guide, he is an asset to Penang tourism

The postcard girl is very kind to you. Usually, we need to go to the post office ourselves.

[@timtense]

Yes, she was and it made it so easy that she offered the full service. It's great for tourists like me.

[@AhmadZakiVision]

8:51 - Pandan trees are also widely planted in Malay homes and the leaves are often used in the production of traditional Malay cakes and foods and are also mixed in certain drinks. I like to put pandan leaves in hot tea. Pandan leaves produce a fragrant and refreshing smell. It is also used in home fragrance products. It's a bit long to type the recipe to make "kaya" but you can search on the internet by typing in Malay "Cara membuat kaya Pandan". If you typing in English, internet will refer "Kaya" to else because other then refer to a kind of jam, "kaya" mean rich in English language. 😅

[@bukitkatilmp]

Malaysia is the biggest market for BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi and VW in Southeast Asia. Once Malaysians become richer, they buy German cars as luxury marques Btw, you actually do not have to pay twice at restaurants with several stalls in it. The back portion is normally the owner of the shop and they sell drinks and the occasional toast. The stalls sell all the other food. So you have the choice to choose whatever drink or food you wish to eat and pay only for the food or drink you eat. Its the same concept in Malaysia and Singapore.

[@timtense]

Oh is it? I noticed lots of European cars there!

[@blockchainterminal4063]

[@hplagt6880]

Finally, you are in Penang, the foid paradise of Malaysia.The 3 wheeler is called a trishaw. A very old mode of transport usually driven by Chinese immigrants in the olden days. What 😱you have never tried kaya toasts with half boiled eggs? They are everywhere in Malaysia. Penang is the origine of nasi kandar. Its also famous for its Penang Asam Laksa, char kueh tiaw with duck egg and cendol. You should google about famous Penang food so that you got to try them where are famous for.

[@t700qwe8]

[@timtense]

Thanks for watching!

[@mayfoo02]

What he meant was, it's the ghost month which is the 7th month in the lunar calendar. Those boxes contain clothes made from paper and these are burnt as offerings to the deceased relatives when the families visit their family graves.

[@timtense]

Okay, I didn't know about that. Thanks!

[@bahrenbahren4815]

Hi !! Timmmmm, gojes.......u should try Penang Char Kuey Teow....so guuud

[@teresachan5824]

The 7th month in the lunar calendar is dedicated to the hungry ghosts. Basically it's souls which are forgotten or no one to pray for them

[@ryanlim2944]

Yeah, the trishaw uncle mistakenly said 7th year, he tried to say 7th month.

[@cac1504]

Trishaw guy us quite knowledgeable.

Absolutely, what a legend he was!

[@giannishen]

Kaya is a common dessert ingredient in Southeast Asia. It is made by heating coconut milk, duck or chicken eggs, sugar and cream over water and scooping it out. Kaya is often used to spread bread, make cakes, make fillings for sandwich bread, etc.! Not sure why you call that food your husband, but it's cute! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful day! 👍🤩🙏

[@munir89]

Paying 40 for this trishaw uncle is really worth . He is like living text books

[@sirbobhatethenumberyoutubegive]

yeah, i'll pay rm50!

[@timtense]

He is very knowledgeable indeed!

[@rohansugunathas]

Tim... I notice you still dont organize your currency. you can organize by denomination or size. The larger the value, the larger the notes are. Purple, Grey, Orange, Red, green & blue = 100, 50, 20,10,5 & 1

[@drtraveljsy]

Exactly what I was thinking 😂 maybe that’s the Malaysian in me! ☺️

[@StaryzHelios]

the trishaw man deserved more than RM40 🤩 I would give him 3 times RM120 for those tour and nice infomations provided. Beautiful.

[@pangsheril_yn8411]

Welcome to Malaysia! This is a wonderful Vlog. Sorry about having to see the soup kitchen. We do have social problems such as homelessness too, and these soup kitchens show you the reality of homelessness in Malaysia, not just in Penang. They are seniors that some of them have bad experiences, and lose their homes, and they rely on food donations sometimes to get by...not all. Some work for themselves, however they can

[@zairyx23]

kalau rm40 utk setengah jam tak berbaloi dengan info sejarah yg diberitahu, kalau orang begini sy beri rm100 pun tiada masalah plus beli beri makanan sebab penat tu berkayuh dengan usia dia tu rasanya lebih 60tahun tu sebab sejarah & info tu bagus.. lagi pun sejarah asal/lama sekarang banyak dihapuskan perlahan2 & diwujudkan sejarah baru..

[@milaplum7810]

I am a Malaysian frim Kuala Lumpur. I must say most of the Tishaw Uncles is very knowledgeable about Penang history.

[@kylek2623]

Welcome to Penang... because you like nature.. try climbing bukit bendera via heritage trail (near the hill train station 1-2hrs ) or moongate (near botanical garden 2-3 hrs), there are 71 trails but these two are famous climbing trail. There is also pantai Keracut Beach in Taman Negari (State Park) where you have to use a 1-2hrs trail.

[@timtense]

Sounds like something I would love to do. Maybe next time I will!

[@sweejinsaw5960]

This trishaw rider really knows the history much better than most young people of Penang. I must say it’s worth your ride.

[@timtense]

Absolutely he had info on everything!

[@suplolok8873]

The Trishaw uncle really informative and knew so much of history. You should highly recommend him to other tourists who love to try trishaw and history about Penang. He speak english very well too. Unbelievable he knew all the year of every property and historical buildings 👏👏👏

24:11 - Captain Francis Light (year 1740 to 21 October 1794) was the founder of the British settlement in Penang which also meant colonization. Hundreds of years ago, Penang was part of the state of Kedah.

[@mysmartieteevee3036]

8:57 kaya is basically coconut jam. Waiter at the coffee shop can't even describe what he is selling properly.....🤦‍♂🤦

[@eltonkam5747]

Penang is called “Garden of East”. But I have to say I like Penang in the 50s and 60s than now. Traffic now is chaotic. City is badly planned for developmemt due to corruption.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

I think melaka trishaw rides at the side. Penang rides from the back.

What the trishaw rider is trying to tell you is that the 7th month in Chinese lunar calendar is the Hungry Ghost Festival Month. This festival is observed mainly in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Although the practice originates from China it's no longer practiced.
