*I search Rendang. And Wikipedia say* *Alternative names: Randang* *Course: Main course* *Place of origin: Indonesia[1][2]* *Region or state: West Sumatra[3]* *_And CNN say that from Indonesia._* *Sambal, Wikipedia say* *Course: Condiment or side dish* *Place of origin: Indonesia[1]* *Region or state: Java* *Associated cuisine: Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Suriname*

[@muhammadabdulwahab123]

​@@AlanM2304 That is not true. Rendang origin was from Malaka Malaysia. One of the sheikh from Melaka during Malaka Sultanate introduced it to the Minangkabau tribe in Sumatra

[@nickxandar7720]

The other reason why traditional Malay houses are on stilts is that originally you might have wild animals living in the forest around you so you want to make sure that your house is not easily accessible by animals by making them on higher ground. The elevated position of the house would also help with air flow as the breeze can travel through the house with little obstructions.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

True. Animals and flood.

[@shythi]

My grandma did say that they build houses on stilts as it would be easier to move the house esp during rainly seasons… she was from melaka..

[@dianegreig4627]

Ivana you read my mind. I wondered why the sink in middle of restaurant. 😊 14 more sleeps and we board the plane to KL. Can't wait!! ❤️

[@syafiqahmad987]

18:19 absolutely correct Saiful, main reason is flooding and rain. But the other reason is some of the old traditional houses can be moved by lifting it up. All villagers come to help move it ❤

[@mizitige]

try Kak Chuk nasi lemak next 👍🏾

[@wannoorroslinarashid2206]

Where is kak chuk's?

[@kayellai5278]

Mana lokasi?

[@airadium]

Steve is correct, house on stilts because of wetness/water stream formation during raining season.

[@chekenolchannel9692]

Traditional houses on stilt due to: - flooding - wild animal like wild boar, tigers, crocodile - and airflow for natural cooling / ventilation (air flow from bottom, through & on top. ❤

[@anihusain4113]

good to see Ivana looking happier and chirpy than the last time both of you were in kl. Sweet couple

[@chaw294]

Yeah, you both are right ..good food at a good place ! It's indeed wonderful to see Steve can handle that sambal bilis and ikan bilis. A big applause to you, Steve. Guess they used good quality ikan bilis. Good review, guys.

[@TeleeFONE]

There's a new Nasi Lemak shop in KL called Nasi Lemak Burung Hantu, apparently it is very tasty too and long Q during peak hours. Must get there early to get the main dishes before they run out.

[@iskandartaib]

0:21 - have you tried that Samudera Patin place yet? The dish on the signboard looks like Ikan Patin Masak Lemak Cili Padi, which you'd normally find in Pahang (the famous place is by the river, near the Temerloh bus terminal).

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Some enchovies are very hard and not cleaned properly. Some vendors fry it well and cleaned it well, those are the golden brown ones. I like crispy and not hard as rock. Village park is good yes

[@rozaiaw2308]

Spot on Ivana, sambal from Wanjo and chicken from Village Park ... you know where to get good food in Kuala Lumpur!

[@abasmusa9697]

You all hv to try nasi lemak jalan Alor in the morning only, at Jalan Bukit Bintang.

[@torrothebear7240]

My advice, hold your judgement until you try nasi lemak kak chuk, and nasi lemak Tanglin. Edit: at least they're the most famous in KL(also village park, but you guys have tried that before). You haven't tried the most famous in each state and hundreds of other varieties. Every nasi lemak place you encounter have their own recipes, basically it's trial and error until you find your favourite ones. It's not easy to become the national dish of Malaysia when you have the malay, chinese, indian (chinese and indian food here are quite different from the respective mainland because they're basically Malaysian style) also you have quite a varieties of food from the sabah and sarawak. I'm an ethnic indian in malaysia but if you ask me I'm always Malaysian first, indian next lol. I felt so awkard when i visited the land of my forefathers which is Tamilnadu.

[@SSxxx18]

No....wanjo is not really best. Tanglin and Valley park is likely better.

[@AKJY]

village park only the fried chicken nice... Nasi Lemak quality is mediocre.

[@torrothebear7240]

@@AKJY then Nasi lemak Kak Chuk it is

[@azarimy]

About the houses on stilts, yes, the original purpose was to avoid flood. You'll notice in some states, the stilts are shorter (less flood prone areas), and others are up to 7-8 feet tall (bad floods). The other reason is to avoid wild animals that roams at night, including snakes, wildboars and so on. During the day, the areas beneath house is used for activities because of the shade. Traditionally Malays are farmers and gatherers, and they do this in the early morning. In the afternoon, they chill underneath the house. Nowadays, these areas are also used as a garage. So all your assumptions are correct!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thank you for this video. Wonderful. Nasi lemak is definitely a must when you are in Malaysia.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

There's another favorite place for locals and foreigners to eat nasi lemak in Kampung Baru, it's Nasi Lemak Kak Chuk.

[@AidanZO305]

u guys are undoubtly Malaysian sweetheart bloggers, Ivana being from Indonesia, our Malaysian sister makes it even more sweet. You are always welcome to ur part time home!

[@dewataraya9636]

Bilis is anchovies,take the sambal sotong,squid sambal...awesome....

[@zulhisyam]

belacan made of mix tiny shrimp. usually sambal nasi lemak has anchovies blend with the dried chillies, onion & garlic

[@ryzalchung8976]

Next go to Nasi Lemak Kak Chuk stall also situated at Kampong Bharu....

[@niam550]

anchovy....yeahhhh....the best would be blue eye anchovy from lumut/pulau pangkor...the blue eye...its rm10/100gram but it is delicious.... premiummm

[@lilyhaniza6363]

#MoreToDiscover love that tagline! ❤👍

[@hawaandroid2786]

Houses built on stilt on the olden day for many reaons. 1.For ventilation 2. Flooding 3. Storage 4. For keeping pets like cows and elephant, yes, elephant in old days, Tanah Melayu once known for exporting elephant by thousands.

[@snoozensnore1]

I agree that their chicken is dry. Their begedil is amazing though! You can try them next time!

[@rcBorneo]

I tried the nasi lemak at Wanjo last month, I like it too. For my next trip to KL, I want to try the nasi lemak from the warung at Kg. Baru.

[@chekenolchannel9692]

A spoonful of NICE nasi lemak should have: - nasi lemak - a bit of sambal - a piece of ikan bilis - a fried peanut - a bit of rendang gravy - a bit of egg (both yellow & white) MARVELLOUS!!!❤

[@valerietan2850]

A fried peanut, a piece of ikan bilis. Surely u don't mean only ONE peanut n ONE piece of ikan bilis, ha ha!!!

[@jumbeaux1]

I knew the chicken would be dry the minute I saw it. Looks cold too. Ayam rempah is good when hot and freshly fried.

[@MohdFadliAbdullah]

Grasshopper wont harm you, enjoy your day in Kg Baru

[@decTac]

We can eat it if we want..

[@faisalamir1928]

Welcome back!

[@ahmadtarmizimusa9793]

For the fry chicken you just need to marinate with a lot of lemon grass, .. tumeric Dan Cummins...with salt.... for at least 2 hour, then fry it

[@preciousstone6878]

Thanks for remembering Minutes 6:50, that Warung in a kampong, Kelantan!😊

[@JetLagWarriors]

My fav warung in Malaysia... when I mentioned warungs in this video, I wanted to put those clips :)

[@kai7818]

Yes Steve, the Petronas Twin Towers in KLCC are indeed a marvellous architecture.

[@ghanisulaiman5625]

Ivanna is always cool and sweet looking..

[@kasyafrafiq08]

You're right Ivanna, I do prefer nasi lemak ayam berempah at Village Park.

[@andrewchong2616]

Hahaha. I just went there 2 days ago for dinner.. good nasi lemak 👍. Opposite there’s a restaurant kak som serves kelantanese cuisine. Recommend to try too

[@snsdjerry]

you can't get enough of the place

[@sideecm]

i also agree sambal at village park can be improved

[@newmazz]

The best part of the chicken is the thigh (peha). Succulent, juicy & soft! The one that Ivana had was the dried part. The fried chicken at Village Park is actually the thigh! Ask for ‘peha’ guys!

[@meredere]

I want to go ns lemak wanjo now watching this video.

[@JetLagWarriors]

Village Park OR Wanjo?

[@arestir2622]

Me, VP.

[@azimdarwis9226]

Hai jet....plezz come to hero market alam megah at syeksyen 27 Shah alam...

[@esames9868]

Sambal belacan is the raw sambal Sambal for nasi lemak.. usually we call sambal tumis. Which we cooked And there are many type of rendang in Malaysia. They are diferent taste among the countries.

[@azmirepin6224]

Infront wanjo nasi lemak you can try lontong alfiyah just inside stable steak ..only morning they sell..8 am until 11...lontong ,pegedil,rendang daging,..also try kuih lopez with gula melaka sugar...very nice... Alfiyah lontong just beside kak som...

[@decTac]

I like Rasa Selatan Nasi Lemak in Kampong Baru.. simple and authentic..even their lontong is delicious..

[@liztaylor4251]

Bilis is.....hahahaaa Ivana..!! 🤭🤭🤭🤫🤫🤫😍

[@Taipanciko]

Welcome back bro..☺️👍...

[@rohanadzulkafli6208]

Have you try nasi lemak in Negeri Sembilan? For any food using coconut, you should try it at Negeri Sembilan. Try at Rembau, Kuala Pilah or Jelebu

[@fizulrazalan1479]

Bilis = ikan bilis = anchovies. Usually refer to dried anchovies. All malay cooking and dishes usually use dried anchovies.

[@emman2702]

Ivana:bilis is....😁😁..oh shoot steve doesn't like anchovies😁😁

[@mohdhelmi6126]

After this try Nasi lemak Village Park...its the best in PJ Petaling Jaya.. Should bring your parents here when they come visit...

[@TheMan-xp4cb]

They already did

[@cocobos]

For me the village park is still the best too.

[@burhanaziz701]

Go to Mutuara Damansara for authentic sarawakian cuisine at Salted restaurant. Its affordable of course. Run by a cousin of mine,Sofya. Try it out..

[@Xeras10]

Go to Restoran Anis Puteri, Pantai Dalam KL...probably one of the best Kelantan Restaurant in KL, try their specialty Daging Gulai Kawah....

[@elwwmatrix]

Wanjo is feveret place for tourist. Very expensive. I prefer nasi lemak Alor at Bukit Bintang

[@radzlanahmad]

Taste is subjective but I find a lot of versions of nasi lemak available has different attributes. I personally enjoy the diversity in nasi lemak styles in Malaysia. Wanjo is great it’s tasty, the restaurant is efficient and variety of side dishes, for those who prefer less spicy (in fact sweet) sambal, Wanjo is great. Village park nasi lemak takes a pranakan twist to their nasi lemak game, with great fried chicken and sweet styled sambal. Nasi lemak burung hantu is the latest great nasi lemak spot, I’d recommend it to you for the spicy sambal (great kick in it), basmati fragrant coconut rice and great side dishes.

[@decTac]

Never been sambal belacan served with Nasi Lemak 😁..just sambal nasi emak itself will do.. I wonder why Wanjo never have peanuts and kangkong (water spinach).. those make it more authentic Malay nasi lemak..

[@hadeqhad5474]

It's either called sambal tumis. sambal ikan bills or just sambal

[@cikrodthegourmetgrocer]

Hello hello u two! Remember I mentioned once 'jackfruit rendang' at one of ur vids? Jommm let's set a date 🥰

[@kouzumikagura3]

ikan bilis has a lot of grade and type .... in sabah there a lot of of type you can buy .... the ikan bilis they use seem in top grade and quite big and they cook it properly so it stay crispy

[@mohdnormohdaminnullah4064]

Ehhh.. U have been back for 2 weeks already. Time to binge watching. 🎉❤

[@fawouk]

sambal bilis means anchovy sambal, ikan bilis is anchovy in Malay

[@65rainz]

ikan bilis = anchovies. Bilis is the name of the fish.

[@ZaiNaL_81]

[@qairulhafiz9408]

[@JetLagWarriors]

where is your fave nasi lemak spot? 🍚🍗🍳

[@4b1dd3n]

For the fried chicken I would say village park in Damansara utama (uptown), for the traditional and simple type I've got too many to list, but typically tends to me a mak cik by the side of the road, for a bit of a nicer setting with surprisingly good nasi lemak is house + co in Bangsar shopping centre, and for the overall best nasi lemak, I gotta say hands down the one my mom makes 😅

[@ISMSKL]

Anywhere with sambal which is sweeter and less spicy

[@norhaslinahasan4912]

[@imjuzsayin..5017]

Tanglin or bumbung & alor corner

[@Nuraptor]

Yeah Sambal bilis is anchovies sambal

[@samanthakong2427]

I totally agree with Eva! wanjo's sambal is better and fried chicken will be village park!

[@borhandasuki3112]

The best rendang is in Padang actually because of the ingredients and how they cooking...

[@lindatang4516]

Went there last year but only chicken wing, egg and spicy archovies left. The chicken wing is tasty. There is AC room but have to pay RM 1.00.

[@BeyfighterFaris]

They say Wanjo is made for tourist because it's less spicy. I say no, it's made for people like my wife and me who aren't too fond of food being overly spicy

[@scizorstar]

Yup, my family & I love Wanjo as well! The sambal is not too spicy, and a bit sweet. I don't like it if the sambal is too spicy, it would overpower the taste of the rice. But to each their own

[@sotongmenari3759]

@@scizorstar agree. The first time i tried wanjo, the sambal was not spicy at all and it's more to the sweeter side which made me think that i like local nasi lemak in my place more but that's just my opinion

Ya karena masakan malasya diidentikkan dengan rasa yang biasa tidak Kuat aroma itulah kenapa ada copy makanan dari negara lain. Bandingkan Makanan asal muasalnya yg dimana masakan itu diidentifikasi masakan kuat rempah dan bumbunya tentulah yang memasak dari Sukunya. Sbb itu Rendang Nasi Lemak kalau di Indonesia pedas karena memang identik masakan Indonesia asli pada umumnya. 😊 Identitas haruslah berakar dari mana asal makanan itu sehingga itulah aslinya 😊

3:08 there's still a lady who's the owner of the house living there, she open the house for people to come see the traditional house in the middle of the city at day free of charge, of course you can't go inside the house😂 since she's still living there but you can go around the house and see how the architecture of the past still standing there despite the tall and big building surrounding it, the lady usually be in the booth in front of the house when she's open the house for visit, i saw her in some KZbinr video and she told him herself that she's the owner and she open it for free for people to come and look at the house 14:13 i think the chicken that's you got is kind of last batch chicken😅, it means the chicken got fried maybe in the afternoon but you come at night so the chicken become cold and harder to chew😅, every stall chicken are like that, you kind of hit or miss if you come at the wrong time, the best time are when a new batch of fried chicken just be put at the counter 😋, and yes the sambal bilis are anchovy sambal which is the original sambal of nasi lemak, ohh and i think why you like the fried anchovies because the dry anchovies the wanjo restaurant use are a high grade one, you kind of know how good the grade is from the long and clean yellowish anchovies with no black lines on the bodies, high grade anchovies usually have moderate salty taste to it compared to lower grade😂

[@valerietan2850]

She also runs a parking lot in the compound of the house. She sits in the booth n charges each car that parks in her compound. I'm sure u noticed the large amount of cars in front of her house, right?

Yeah when Ivana was cutting the chicken, i can tell it's dry. Usually, vendors like these don't make good fried chicken breast, that's why it's always better to opt for dark meat like drumstick or thigh.
