That Somersby was maybe produced in Croatia ??

[@PrinceRightyI]

@@davorlekenik9563 It is actually locally produced. Yes, we have breweries in Malaysia.

[@diamondhead4139]

For mini market, 99 Speedmart outlets.....

[@bubblybitchywitchy]

Lotus market or aeon big is also not too bad price wise.. BTW the chicken feet mainly ppl cook it in a soup in a way one makes chicken noodle soup.. Just boil them long enough so that it melt off the bone.. Too short of a time it will just be hard and rubbery. Anyways, enjoyed ur video. And enjoy finding more shopping places to explore in Malaysia..!!

[@nutzhazel]

Giant is good, I like their own brands frozen foods, it's actually taste good compared to other supermarket's brand frozen food. 99 Speedmart is also cheap.

[@ridzz]

it's not actually that bad.. I mean, shopping in Giant is usually on the cheaper side. Jaya Grocers, Village Grocers or basically wherever the name ends in "Grocer" (haha) tends to be a bit more expensive overall. But again, they carry more imported brands.. So it depends on what you want, i suppose.

[@Rommel_209]

Bruh…. That’s fact..

[@syedshah345]

Trueee

[@kenlee1416]

Not always. Some items I buy are a bit more expensive than even in Jaya Grocer. So you do need to make some comparisons. Where Giant is lower priced are the fruits and vegetables, their own-brand items and when they give 2 for the price of 1 when items (esp dairy products) are near expiry.

[@kokorodesu]

Jaya Grocer air mineral botol besar tak sampai seringgit bang

[@zaitunz806]

As a Local,it interests me how Europeans,esp the British view the products in our markets and compare those in Europe. In terms of Pricing,Variety and Value for 💰 money. Great ! Keep it up.

GO TO MALAYSIA

[@chandralalnamadevan1927]

😅 the cheapest shopping centre for grocery is Econsave in Malaysia 😅 Giant and Aeon are super expensive while Mydin, Tesco, and other are in mid level on pricing 😃.......by the way "Jumpa" means "Meet"......regarding the rice packs you can ask the stuff for 1kg pack most of the hypermarkets and supermarket have them it start from 1kg, 5kg, 10kg and so on........the most famous instant noodles in Malaysia is called Maggi by Nestle

[@tyandsoph]

Interesting! Thanks for the info! Thanks for watching 🙌

[@na9eralhujailan586]

amazing country + friendly people enjoy + i wil be there soon :D

[@dqlHuiShi]

Most of the Chinese will braise the chicken feet in broth with mushrooms, mild spices and soy sauce + dark soy sauce. It doesn't taste spicy don't worry about it. It taste really good and savoury. You can look for it at some kopitiam (Malaysian Chinese traditional cafe) Btw Mooncake is a traditional Chinese cake/pastry/dessert usually served during mid autumn/mooncake festival. There's a legend for the Mooncake. Anyways my favourite Mooncake is the nuts filling and those with salted egg yolk. There are too many types of Mooncake.

[@z.daniel6837]

[@tyandsoph]

wow sounds interesting! maybe we will have to try it one day 😃 ahh cool, thanks for the info about mooncake!

[@dqlHuiShi]

@@tyandsoph enjoy the food here! There are plenty more to explore but really it's all about your luck sometimes. Just to recommend some, do try out nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, bak kut Teh, shredded chicken noodles (with prawn n prawn oil), Wan tan mee, pan mee, banana leaf rice, Indian style claypot rice, Chinese style claypot chicken rice and bergedil, satay (if u go to Melaka do try out hainanese satay, totally different taste n they serve pork (by Chinese)

[@anupamdas1811]

What a great supermarket! When you are getting the best of the world with some of Malaysia's best local products at very reasonable prices.

[@elimlinrr6898]

For a quick and satisfying meal or snack, try adding a canned of curry chicken (Yeo's brand) to your Maggi curry noodles, add some long beans or bean sprouts. Yummy, just had mine.

[@tyandsoph]

Mmm sounds good! Thanks for the suggestion!🙌

[@ramleej3103]

Hi guys... U went to d right supermart Giant.. it is where d locals do their fmly shopping for groceries . The prices are fairly reasonable, looking at d things u bought, it will last for a fortnight since only two of u ...he he. Hv a wonderful stay in Msia which is truly Asia.. Best rgds

[@tmminny]

Some milks like the full cream is cheaper because they use milk powder which is why they can also be kept on the shelves and on the box it would usually say shake before opening. Most of the milk kept in the fridge are the ones that are actual raw milk which is why they are more expensive and need to be in the fridge as they won't last as long. You can check the ingredient list to see which it is

[@RayMak]

Hope you’re having lots of fun in Malaysia

[@tyandsoph]

Thank you 🙌

[@thisskiss]

There is an afternoon market every Friday behind Holiday Inn Express which should be nearby where you live. There are lots of local food you can try out there and they're quite cheap. Have fun!

[@tyandsoph]

Ahh thanks for the tip!

[@Glajdar]

You can buy those instant noodles and throw in sliced cabbages and carrots or spinach and egg as extra toppings abd flavours.

[@tyandsoph]

Thanks for the suggestion🙌

[@PrinceRightyI]

In the eastern state of Sarawak, we have a lot of milk from Poland. The brands are usually Laciate or Happy Barn. So cheap, really. 🤪

[@praneetsathya7393]

You can get pizza in eon in the freezer section and just bake it or put it in the microwave or you can order dominos or Pizza Hut or can also go to the eon food place in mid valley

[@tyandsoph]

we could only find roti pizza in the supermarket, rather than dough!

[@lizzy9975]

I can't believe you aren't shopping at local markets. The variety of fruit and vegetables looks amazing at these markets, and soooo cheap.

You should get maggi kari which is spicy and get ayam which is chicken and not spicy but abit salty and the laksa thing blue color that’s a bit sour and Sendap ayam this is the most famous Malaysian noodles.

[@JuanYeoh]

Noodles, u must try Maggi asam laksa and curry flavour. Its only available in Malaysia. And they are the best instant noodles in the world! A little bias here. Haha. Cook them with just enough water covering the noodle and you can taste the real flavour.

[@tyandsoph]

Yes I think we had those ones at some point very good! Thanks for watching

[@minima7947]

You’ve got the high end , middle end and local end of grocery stores. Most in the city centre are high end catered to expats and the higher income . Locals normally go to NSK , Lotus , Econsave . You’d see a difference in prices 🤗 Malaysia is still cheaper than Brazil though !

My family n friends are such fans of chicken feet soup….before cooking it we have to cut the tip of the feet (nails/claws)of…..wash then put them in a pot of water along with onions,garlic,ginger,cardamon,star anise,cloves,cinnamon stick,lemon grass,a handful of store-bought fried onions, fresh chillis, salt to taste…..I boil them firstly over high heat, when it has boiled for a few minutes put it to low heat. Cover the pot slight, boil the soup until the chicken feet falls apart in your mouth 😊 You can chop some small chillies put light soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, salt sugar vinegar together, this is as a dip for the chicken feet 😊
