Hello Malaysia | We made it to KUALA LUMPUR!

[@cgreenlls]

Malaysians often order drinks with less sugar. They usually accommodate.

[@farhahfarhah6060]

You can ask for less sugar any of your drinks here in Malaysia.

[@koreanature]

Wow, My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed

[@gundam4596]

the durian season is almost ended. if you want to try some, go to SS2 durian stall which is famous around the the world, it is still in Petaling Jaya district. it is about 5km from your airbnb.

[@zednought3295]

Try karangkraf jalan conlay - craft centre, learn to make batik, artist colony etc., also you can try islamic arts museum - awesome collection of islamic arts from around the world.

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Thanks for the recommendations! Will put it on my list of things to see while we're visiting Malaysia 👍

[@MrGergasikuat]

Jump into the train station there (Taman Jaya?) and went to Masjid Jamek station look up some Dataran Merdeka, Masjid Jamek, Klang river and surrounding KL historical complex. Stop at Pasar Seni station to Petaling Street (Chinatown), Central Market this also walkable to KL historical complex. KL Sentral station with nearby attractions was Brickfields (Indiatown), National Museum (Muzium Negara), KL Botanical Garden (its free!) and walk further you are pretty close to National Mosque, Islamic Arts Museum and KL Old train station. KLCC stop to Petronas tower & Parks, Kampung Baru station for food and Malays traditional village. Get to the express bus and visit Melaka, Cameron, Penang, Ipoh etc. etc.Btw Have your best month stay here and please keep exploring!

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Wow, this is so amazing! I love gardens so will definitely give the Botanical Garden a consideration 😃 The way it's looking with all these incredible suggestions, I think we're going to have such a blast here in Kuala Lumpur! Thank you so much ♥

[@MrGergasikuat]

Yup it's completely free except for the Bird Park and Butterfly Park I guess. Keep busy exploring guys, KL suburbs will be interesting to watch too.

[@ashtriana1]

adding to the suggestion above, stop at Dang Wangi station to KL Eco Park below KL Tower. this is the smallest forest reserve in Malaysia....also if yolove hiking go to FRIM in Kepong or Templer Park alternatively you can go to Shah Alam to the Bukit Cahaya Sri Alam Agricultural Park...also I-city (visit this in the evening).....

[@TheMuslimPrince]

BTW that "sweet chilli sauce" you were referring to in your Nasi Lemak is called the sambal.

[@TwojaysStepaway]

The sambal is soooo delicious. And it's the perfect level of spice too. I love it - it's definitely my favourite thing I've had so far (I'm a big fan of condiments and sauce, so, I'm happy the sambal is so delightful).

[@TheMuslimPrince]

Good to know that you enjoy it! However, be warned that the intensity and taste of sambal varies from one seller / maker to another.....some may be mildly spicy, others may be too hot for you to handle. So you should practice caution by tasting the sambal from a particular seller first before mixing it all up in your dish all at once.

[@moreofacomment]

as you're actually in the city of Petaling Jaya (PJ), you can also get around the main parts of the city with their PJ Free Bus. They're in green. And make sure to specify PJ in your google searches if you need to know what's interesting As for food, there's an NZ couple tht stayed here in Malaysia for a bit and made plenty of videos tht you can check out: Chasing A Plate. You're near the city centre of PJ actually, as well as the old town part (it was planned as a satellite suburb town to KL but later upgraded to city as the size expanded. Hence why it doesn't feel so much like a city city yet with skyscrapers and such). Check out the SS2 area for the night market on Mondays (largest in PJ) as well as the eateries there, as well as the SS14/Digital Mall area if you want IT stuff. Actually night markets is an itinerant thing so there's one every night but in different neighbourhoods. another one that's reachable by LRT is the Taman Megah one on Sundays. Basically PJ doesn't feel like it's got much action because of the suburban layout but if you know where to look it's quite happening.

[@kamalhafiz]

If you want less sweet drinks, you can always say 'kurang manis' to the waiter

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Oh, we'll keep that in mind!

[@fastcx]

Kurang = Reduce, Manis = sweet/sweetness

[@mohdzaidibinzakaria7070]

Standard lunch in KL cost around RM5-RM10 (USD 1.6 - USD 2.5), inclusive of main course and drinks. Depends on the place you eat i.e food in malls can cost a bit extra

[@hellibra2]

Malaysians go out food-hunting and crowding the malls during weekends and holidays.

[@ihunt23]

Try to explore places where most Expat stay at Mont Kiara area n Bangsar area . If u prefer Fri n Sat night out do go to Changkat Bukit Bintang ( bar n restaurant street )

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Great, I'll check it out :) thank you so much for the recommendations!

[@khairulanwar5212]

Since you intend to stay for 1 month in KL, Genting is a mountain destination that is not far from KL with mountain top theme parks and a casino. Or if you want a bit of kampung or village experience at the foot across the highway is Janda Baik literally meaning " Good Divorcee". Other attractions would be the oft blogged Bird Aviary, Tasik Perdana or the Lake Gardens with many attractions within it, Batu Caves, downtown KL with its malls and of course KLCC and KL Tower. The night life can be interesting for Westerners along Bukit Ceylon area. So have fun and enjoy your stay.

[@fastcx]

Usually it's normal to have packed malls around weekend, KL are generally more towards working class people, weekdays as expected are working days, less people on the street during working hour. Restaurants will be packed during lunch and dinner hour(12pm~2pm, 5pm~8pm)

[@hiacesupremo3364]

You guys are staying in Amcorp Mall? Yeah, they have this super cool flea market where people are selling very old classic rare stuffs on every Saturday & Sunday. Looking at the date you uploaded this video, it is the week of Eid celebration where people are heading off to their hometown and KL are basically a little bit quiet during this time. You're staying a bit away from the city centre by the way, about 15 minutes away (without traffic), but you can always jump into the LRT at Asia Jaya station to get to the city centre.

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Yeah, we've seen the flea market, and you're spot on: it's really cool! Back in South Africa we also lived kind of 'far away' from all the action, so we 're used to travel - at least there are rapid train networks here (which I'm a huge fan of 😍).

[@yapgimkwee8842]

yesterday is malaysia indepence day from UK. public holiday. that's why they don't work and have time to shop.

[@qsamin15]

Welcome to malaysia guys.. Hv a nice travel hete

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Terima kasih, it's been awesome so far, not looking forward to leaving it behind :( - Jan

[@yapgimkwee8842]

place to go. go mid Valley mall. eat satay and chicken rice. go to the berjaya times square. there is a amusement park in level 6. I think so. I think that's all.

[@pahangisful]

Welcome to KL guys

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Thanks! ♥

[@mohdzaidibinzakaria7070]

U forgot to mention that place is just 1 minute walk to Taman Jaya Metro station. Great choice

[@alisonlow6888]

Welcome to Malaysia ,pls do come back again .

[@jimmychoke1492]

Welcome to Malaysia...you stay at my working place....

[@ismailyahaya6259]

Welcome

[@AhmadSharidanMohdAlias]

If you're still living at the AirBNB there, there is a foodcourt less than 1km from your place. You can try Nasi Kandar there which some say one of the best around. Just google Zainur Nasi Kandar.

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Oh, thank you for this recommendation. We want to still visit a pasar malam before we head North to Penang; we were debating which would be a good one to visit, and this one looks really good. I'm looking forward to explore it a bit :)

[@far8]

download the grab apps its a cheaper uber in malaysia and just go everywhere.. - klcc water fountain show at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm and last for 5 minutes. - putra mosque in putrajaya - blue mosque ssaas shah alam - sunway pyramid mall and sunway lagoon park - bukit tabur east west n extreme for hiking spot - sungai chilling - bukit melawati silver leaf monkey google for more info

[@TwojaysStepaway]

This is an amazing list 😍 Thank you so much! We already have Grab, it is awesome!

[@kennychia2727]

If you have the time, hire a driver or get on an organised tour to bring you around Putrajaya, the federal administrative centre of Malaysia. It has magnificent buildings, beautiful parks, river cruise, shopping malls etc. It can easily be a full day trip. Also, do check out Batu Caves, which is a beautiful Indian temple located in a magnificent cave. You need to hire a driver to bring you there.

[@AhmadAli-eh1nk]

Take a fast train to penang....just 4 hr away north Of KL....food hunting at street food capital of Malaysia n world famous

[@TwojaysStepaway]

We actually will be going to Penang after our stay in Kuala Lumpur! We've heard so many good things about it, I have to check it out. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@sakurateppei]

enjoy your stay in malaysia :-)

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Thank you so much 😄 So far we are having an amazing time, cannot wait to start exploring

[@charlestjochsrlest6355]

$15 per meal is super expensive for normal malaysian,my normal lunch only $5,of course at the suburb area.

[@laramiaizz]

You been talking about how awesome your air bnb was and I was about to scream when i thought that you wouldnt show it but you showed it after that lol..but it was too short 😝

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Oops 😣

[@AzzrudinJamil]

We eat all the time so saying breakfast, lunch, dinner is not quite relevant. We usually just say "jom makan" local word for "let's eat".

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Ah, that is a lot easier than our silly habit of declaring a specific meal-time, I like that 👌

[@superjoshie]

Since you guys are in Malaysia for a month, why not travel north to Ipoh or Penang or maybe down south to Melaka? So much to see and experience there!

[@TwojaysStepaway]

I'm quite excited, we're heading to Penang soon! While I'm sad we're leaving KL, I've heard a lot of great things about Penang.

[@veritascleric8378]

I think you will like Sunway Pyramid and Sunway Lagoon.

[@TwojaysStepaway]

I think we may do 😊 we may not fit it in a vlog, but it looks like so much fun!

[@veritascleric8378]

Yeah, it really is a lot of fun. Sunway Lagoon is Malaysia's first water theme park and it's in the hearts of most Malaysians. The mall just beside it is also a fantastic place. They styled it after the pyramids in Giza. It seems somewhat occultic but I guess its owner Jeffrey Cheah (CEO of Sunway Holdings) has a thing for egyptology.

[@veritascleric8378]

Oh yeah, they also have great rides like rollercoasters and a really scary haunted house.

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Okay no, we have to do this! I'll wring Jannie's arm and see if we can make it a vlog 😎 - Jeanette

[@novayu666]

that shopping mall/building you having a meal in is actually haunted. try 2nd floor toilet after 8.00pm. wooo~

[@NoorNoor-ul5zh]

Řæívöñ Who cares!! All places in the world are haunted 😂😂😂

[@TheMuslimPrince]

Do a vlog on Putrajaya too!

[@firdausmusa6931]

Go to pulau tioman or pulau langkawi..but its nowhere near kuala lumpur tho

[@joshuachad]

Hey Twojays stepaway! I’m curious about your channel’s name. Care to enlighten me on the meaning behind the name? There has been a recent influx of travel vloggers to Malaysia in recent times. It could be due to the heatwave in the Northen hemisphere or it could be due to other factors which I’m not aware of. Gleaning known facts from the vloggers who has been to Malaysia, I gather that you should try Petronas Twin Towers, Batu Caves, Bird Park, KL Tower, Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang, Petaling Street, Central Market, Resorts World, Genting, KLCC park, Botanical Gardens, KL Forest Eco Park just to name a few. And yes, that thumbnail of you sitting on that kids ride click baited me to your channel 😂

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Thank you so much for the suggestions! Our channel name comes from the fact that both our nicknames are "Jay" - even at home people sometimes struggle saying our names so we've become used to using the nick names (our close friends actually refer to us as J-squared, as an example). And yes, I had to use that pic as a thumbnail 😎 Jannie is a goofball with a child-like spirit - that's basically what he gets up to whenever he has an opportunity! I'm also really happy ppl are considering Malaysia for a travel destination - there are many reasons why we chose Malaysia, it's such an awesome country (food is good, it's beautiful, the locals are super friendly & happy, it's not too hot, I can go on but suffice to say, it is awesome!)

[@joshuachad]

Twojays Stepaway , chill at the park and catch one or two Slugma or Teddiursa 😉

[@highsky5888]

many foreigners didn't how to eat nasik lemak properly.firstly,u need to mix the red sauce+anchovies&peanuts+rice all together..then enjoy them with the pieces of chicken,egg and cucumber.nice video.👍

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Oh good! I got it right then 😊

[@yapgimkwee8842]

also Chinatown. eat chicken rice.

[@Glajdar]

Acar in South Africa? That’s a Malay word. Not surprised as there are some Malays who emigrated to S. Africa. Acar is like a sauce dish

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Indeed ! And it is spicy and tangy and aromatic and amazing - we don't have it often, but when we do I'm always satisfied. We use it as a condiment, much like chutney or a chili/peri peri sauce. Really great way to add flavour and spice to a meal. I believe in South Africa we call it atchar? It is delicious.

[@ftinftin8937]

The Cape Malays are mostly in Bo-kaap, historically interesting!!

[@jeffreysetapak]

I believe you know another KZbinr, Serpentza.

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Oh wow, another South African :D It's always fun finding someone a little bit familiar. But sadly, no we don't know him. Thank you so much for sharing his channel name, going to check out his content.

[@jeffreysetapak]

I sympathise of the white Causasians fate and predicaments in South Africa at the present. Be strong, I believe you will find a brighter and better future if you keep finding/fighting for it.

[@jeffreysetapak]

Next time you go to China and look up WInston or Serpentza.

[@CatJuiceSays]

Koala lamp purrrr

[@ftinftin8937]

Kuwahler Loompo... The locals just say KL or koloompo in short :))

[@penanlab]

Ya malaysian tend to ABUSE their sugar. We have among the Highest cases of Diabitisis cases in the world... Anywy, hope u guys had good time in KL 💕

[@djtan3313]

Go to Genting casino, take a punt!

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Haha, take a what now? ;) We'll see if we can make it there! Our to-do list has become crazy long, but we do still have three weeks left in Malaysia. Maybe we'll get lucky!

[@ftinftin8937]

Twojays Stepaway Putrajaya is not far from KLIA (airport). Perhaps you would like to visit, our administrative city.

[@75gannesh]

AIRBNB NAME N ANY LINK ?

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Wow, thank you for bringing this to my attention! I have added the link in the description box :)

[@cantaner1164]

will u come back to europe

[@TwojaysStepaway]

We may not be able to this year because of visa restrictions and other logisitics 😒 we have our friends' wedding in Thailand in October, so we'll be hanging out in Southeast Asia for a couple months. But we'll see! The world is our oyster 🤗

[@judedavid]

Look out for Petaling Street aka Chinatown and Central Market aka Pasar Seni.

[@taboobunny9186]

Lumpur..'Lum' as in 'loom', and 'pur' as in 'pour' ,pronounciation wise

[@TwojaysStepaway]

I just gave up and started calling it KL instead... But this will help to get it right at least, thanks! - Jan

[@cantaner1164]

asian supermarket video will be interesting

[@cantaner1164]

foods u ate in europe look better :D

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Looks can be deceiving ;) I actually have a secret deep love for Asian food - especially if rice & noodles are involved 😍 we've only been here for a few days but it has been super tasty! But it's good to mix up the food palette a bit, and I sure I'll be longing for hearty stews and bread soon enough 😋

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Yeah, I myself now understand why food vlogging is such a big thing - every place has their own element which is amazing - I love how ppl across the globe can take a similar basket of goods and turn it into such completely different flavour options - like pork in UK/Ireland/Germany makes for amazing sausage, but then in Asia there are all these incredible stew, soup & noodle dishes! Love it 😍
