I Didn't Expect Malaysia To Be Like THIS! 🇲🇾

My first day here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and it's left an impression on me like no other country before. The people, scenery, food and culture has left a positive impact on me.

Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾🙏 loved that you did the intro at THAT place instead of somewhere on the street 😂

[@davidkhai]

Got to try and stand out 😂

[@nasrol24]

Hai bro❤

[@davidkhai]

@isnirashid9221Haha we're actually mates! We've caught up before, maybe we'll collaborate one day :)

[@SalimahRahman]

😅 Ken is here too.

[@josephmanzuni8593]

Kuala Lumpur gives the massive metropolitan vibes. Also spotless clean compared to other major cities in Asia.

[@LearningToLetGoOfYourDream]

I actually didn’t know about Ken and Luke until I saw your clips . (Been busy at work 😅) each of you are unique in your own way, and all of you are amazing

[@muhammet225]

Malaysia Is very diverse. Only about 63 are ethnic malays & are 100% muslims. Rest are mostly chinease, Indian & other south east &east asian ethnic groups. But amazingly, somehow they all ( both muslims, Buddists, Christians, Hindus etc...) managed to live there in peace and harmony. Malaysia is a perfect example of coexistence & proves all can live in peace

[@alyco4gold]

tottaly wrong..63 percent is not only a muslim malay but including muslim not malay okey,,

[@JayandKarolina]

Excited for this series David! Your intros are definitely unique 😂

[@davidkhai]

Got to stand out 😂

[@mossisgreener]

Should taste authentic Malay food like Rendang, Satay, Nasi Lemak at Kampung Baru❤️❤️❤️

[@decTac]

Kuala Lumpur is a city of contrast, a city that never sleeps.. Welcome to fascinating Malaysia 🇲🇾❤️✌️😊

[@nikhassan7713]

Malaysians do play cricket, rugby, lawn bowl and polo, and other games/sports inherited from British time. Cricket not just played by Englishmen but also locals since 1880s, and the Royal Selangor Club (RSC) where the tudor house you've seen at Independence Square was formed in 1884. Malaysia won few medals in cricket at South East Games and as August 2023, Malaysia men cricket team is at 25th world's ranking and Malaysia women cricket team at 27th which mostly played by Commonwealth countries or countries those ever part of British Empire. However of course cricket not as popular as football, badminton, hockey, sepak takraw and other games in Malaysia.

[@davidkhai]

Thanks for the info! That’s cool to know :)

Selamat Datang ke Malaysia

[@tiputertipah9664]

welcome to Malaysia, In KL bear in mind that most of the ppl u meet along the streets are not local people, some of them looks like Malaysian but they are actually not, u need to ask them first where are they from

[@kushal809]

Looks amazing Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 😊 nice vlog. David keep it up

[@LearningToLetGoOfYourDream]

I have been sitting in my offices for too long and I have forgotten How beautiful Malaysia is . Heart all your videos, cant wait for the next clip , and, will you visit my hometown, Sabah? And , yes, we, local dont go Batu Caves that offen, only go during school trips😂 and ,when we needed training before climbing Mt Kinabalu.

[@davidkhai]

Genuinely an amazing place, especially at bight when it’s all lit up! I won’t visit Sabah this trip, but on my next definitely

[@salahudin1160]

Stay long ok in Malaysia..not go anywhere ya.. support locals and street food..they are sometime no business..u know what i mean..support street food ❤❤❤❤❤

[@penukulbesi4006]

Malaysia is a food hub, just look at the food court in the mall. In addition to local cuisine, you will find various types of food from other Asian countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, and western food.

[@tomlohmier4824]

Greetings mate from L.A.California. Wow, your really on the move. Great video as always. That coconut looked so good. So much juice. My favorite also.

Thank you for this wonderful video and for your explorations around KL. Welcome to Malaysia. Newly subscribed. Great intro.

[@irfanbudiman2833]

Welcome to M'sia David. Nice hair cut. 👍👍

[@fauzanriez9472]

Hai David! I am new to your channel. Welcome to Malaysia!! Here's the thing. Malaysia is celebrating our National Independence Day on 31st August, that's reason you see country flags everywhere. The location of Masjid Jamek or Jamek Mosque is actually where Kuala Lumpur got its name from. Kuala = river mouth Lumpur = mud Kuala Lumpur means muddy confluence. This was where boats from the sea landed and where the city basically started. China Town is there. The Central Market is there (actually it was a wet market). Central bus station is there (well, was there). The train station is there. The National Mosque (Masjid Negara) is there as well. The government administration building (built by British, yes the clock tower at Merdeka Square - that's the one) is there as well and the last time it was used as High Court complex in the 1990s. As you said it you won't find another country where Chinese, Malays and Indians live together along with many minor ethnics including the Sikhs, the Portugeuese and Thais and with 4 major religions in harmony (Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, Christians). Of course you may say Singapore but let's not forget Singapore used to be one of the states in the Federation of Malaya before 1965. Malays were the majority there, now the opposite. Enjoy your stay. 3 or 7 days are not enough to try all the cuisines though (unless you have 10 stomachs ).

[@davidkhai]

Appreciate the info :) And I’d definitely need to spends months here to enjoy all the delicious foods 😂

[@rizlanghazali985]

Kuala Lumpur is named after that exact spot... Muddy Confluence of the 2 rivers...

Street food in Malaysia should not just mean Malay food , we have malaysian Style chinese and Indian food too

[@davidkhai]

Spot on! I love the variety of cultures, which just means more tasty food haha

[@dasensonadv]

The Flage Pole at Merdeka Square is the highest in the world!....

[@hplagt6880]

A tip for you. If your drinks are a bit too sweet, you can ask for extra hot water or a glass of ice on the side to tone down the taste. You can find stalls set up in strategic places all around KL. There's a big night market every Wednesday called the Connaught night market which is about 2k long. Google if you plan to go there and fast whole first before going. Should try our national dish, nasi lemak at Wanjo restaurant in Kampung Baru. Order with side dish of beef rendang.

[@davidkhai]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@ArgusXII]

@@davidkhai you can also say "kurang manis" which means less sweet . Kurang = less , Manis = sweet .

[@fatimahferdaus6199]

across the old train station is the HQ of the train company, Keretapi Tanah Melayu

[@faizulevanasyraf]

We don't usually use lamb to make curry. The one you just ate is mutton curry not lamb curry. Malaysian always mistaken lamb meat with goat meat.

Hi David, You went all the way to Batu Caves and didn't go up the 272 steps to the actual caves. It's a sight to behold.

I didn’t know there was higher 😅

[@leylandj6303]

@@davidkhai Google Batu caves and you will know what I am on about. If you're still around in KL take a second trip via KL Commuter to the caves. Best time to visit is in the morning before 11am. That's when the tour buses arrive and it gets bit crowded.

[@leylandj6303]

Oh by the way did I mention that the entrance is free.

I'm really surprised! I was still expecting a Japan video which I even think, eventually, you'll do an exit video... but that obviously didn't happen... did you have to escape Japan for some reason? Hahaha!

[@davidkhai]

Haha no I loved Japan! But I spent some days just with my mates before they went home. Vlogging sometimes changes the dynamic of a holiday.

[@nickloong]

Kuala Lumpur offers tourist the metropolitan vibes in places and also the old school feel at certain old quarters area too. Do your homework well, and you'll have the time of your life here in KL!😂

Bro, you can eat which ever way you like with the roti canai. There is no right or wrong way. As long as you enjoy it and feels satisfied. ✌🏼👍🏼 The two half boiled eggs added in was a recent ‘invention’ to the old classic way of eating roti canai. Personally I would only eat the roti canai with dhal gravy and nothing else. Yummy!

[@davidkhai]

Definitely enjoyed it 👌

Malaysia still have a national cricket team. And respectable number of cricket fans. UNFORTUTELY the team is not world class

[@davidkhai]

Oh wow didn’t know that! Thanks for the info :)

[@H.Witcher]

Roti canai is a Malaysian Indian cuisine. I wouldn't have mixed the roti with poached eggs and the man sitting next to you had advised. It's teh (not tea) tarik in Malaysian pronounciation. The rendang and the other food you ordered in the so called pasar malam is Malay cuisine.

[@davidkhai]

Yeh the guy next to me said not too, but then the waiter who was out of the shot said to mix it. Still ended up great!

[@LearningToLetGoOfYourDream]

I was surprised to see him mixing it too, and i thought , perhaps that’s a new way of eating that telur and roti 😂 luxkily he still like it

[@H.Witcher]

I believe the waiter didn't understand his question and thought he asked if he can eat as served. Personally, I don't like congee and prefer to eat food with some texture to bite.

[@H.Witcher]

David, you should try Malaysian durians since you love durians. They taste different to Thai or Vietnam durians - drier and a bit bitter. My favourite is the D24, except Musang King is a bit overhyped like Penfolds 😅
