MY MOM IS ADDICTED TO THIS MALAYSIAN FRUIT! 🇲🇾

We explore Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown at Petaling Street in Malaysia. It is a must do for first time visitors to Malaysia. Our parents tried many Malaysian food for the first time, including apam balik and peanut mochi. Mom particularly fell in love with a fruit she had never tried before. Check out our vlog.

I think we all here are looking forward to see your mom trying durian 😄

[@AzlindaRosAbdulAziz]

So true... see.... Ken already get the idea like a Malaysian... 😂😂😂 you have become part of our family now Ken...!!! Congratulations...!!!

[@khabirkhalid818]

Yeah..when I saw "addicted" I was very sure that was durian...hahhaha

[@Xeras10]

It takes time...after she tried frozen one from Thailand in Canada last year 🤣

[@dygsuzana]

Yes...agreed with Ken. 😂

[@gebmetroworlds4537]

Mangosteen is the queen of fruits. The king can come later. I think mangosteen is banned in some locales because the outer thick skin could permanently dye any fabric it touches purple.

[@NSS7]

This why I like about your video. It does not make any sense for tourist to like every food available here. I know some vlogger just want to be nice but it feel less rewarding when they actually like the food. Even Malaysian dont like everything. That is beauty of having variety of food from different cultures. Everyone has something they like.

[@preciousstone6878]

The lady selling mangosteen gave one hard fruit which cannot be eaten. Good n fresh mangosteen has a softer shell and easy to open. The hard skin is already a few days old(can't eat)and it's as hard as a rock!. I have a mangosteen tree in my garden. My tree fruited in August till Sept.

[@DenizIman]

It's ok if u dont like any thing and say it out mom. We already healed from when Steve "rejected" the anchovies 😆 We even accept him as one of us now 😚

[@fazilrazak3909]

mangosteen, manggis in Malay. Botanical name Garcinia mangostana. Garcinia fruits includes the asam gelugor, asam kandis, achacha, button mangosteen, yellow mangosteen, lemondrop mangosteen and many many more.

[@mohdafifiarif8409]

Really like your mom's reaction, because she make me believe that she's honest about the taste.

[@chaw294]

Yeah, you are right, Mdm Diane. Spending quality time with Steve, lvana and Mr Ted in a foreign country is so much fun and it's the best of the best. Wonderful bonding time !

[@darkentity94]

Wow... Steve really a younger version of his dad.. 99% similar 😂

[@Reformist101]

mom is more talkative while dad more camera shy 😄

[@drtraveljsy]

Bapak2 satu dunia mmg camtu 😀

[@amanshahosman9082]

Hi, Since your mum just is here, may I recommend for her to take a medical check up/health screening at one of the private hospital here in KL. I just watched Nomad Capitalist channel. Andrew sent all his staffs for a medical check up at Prince Court Hospital. it cost him about RM 1200/staff. He mentioned that similar health screening will cost thousands $ and may take days to complete whilst at Prince Court Hospital it took 2-3 hrs to complete the whole test procedures. After watching Andrew's video, I immediately remember that your mum/dad are here. They may take this opportunity to do a quick health screening if they wish.

[@empayarrezekimelimpah5449]

For Malays, we considered Durian as the king of fruits while mangosteen as the queen of fruits. Durian is considered hot fruit while mangosteen is considered cold fruit. So, when you eating both fruits, your body temperature will be balanced. During my grand's time, durian & mangosteen trees will produce fruits in the same season to counter balance each other hot-cold nature attributes. But today, people only focus on durian research & no more season for durian because we can get it almost a whole year.

[@dazuotv]

Malaysian fruits look delicious, I love them 👍

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thank you for this video. Wonderful. Those mangosteen looked delicious.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Plenty of tropical fruits your parents can try in KL. Most of them are available in the wet market like Chow Kit or the big supermarket, well, you guys know better. Have they tried dragon fruit, carambola, rose apples, jackfruit, soursop etc

[@Andrei_D.]

I like how honest is your mom. It's nice that you have this experiences together, enjoy!

[@tajabdullah.malaysia]

🎉

[@florider3944]

Thank you for promoting Malaysia to the world, God bless u n family

[@ThomasThomas-be4sn]

No need actually..! 😢 see what some of these mat Saleh tourists did to Nepal..

[@lowaikkwang]

Love it! Your mom is a natural on camera… we want more of her on video. Man its hot here…

[@alanarifuku3500]

Your mom is becoming an international star

[@lindatang4516]

Steve's mom is awesome trying foods and fruits. Mangosteen is the best fruit and antioxidants.

[@ncode03]

It's impossible to dislike Mangosteen unless they're unripe and sour.

[@hisyamismail1083]

What a lovely mom u have. Happy to see her reactions 😁

[@AzlindaRosAbdulAziz]

Hai Steve...!!! Visit to Malaysia will not be complete without getting your parents to eat fresh durian... because if you taste the frozen one or not so fresh one elsewhere the taste will not be the same.... and don't forget Roti Canai and nasi lemak, nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, laksa, nasi kandar and many2 more that you have tried before.... make them have good memories here in Malaysia....

[@AiriniMustapa]

I love your Mom. Such a sincere face when trying to eat something new.

[@micktheflick1]

Madam… u r humble and very nice lady . Hope u spend more time in M’sia and visit Sarawak too🙏🙏

[@lakshan.johana]

Amazing video steve!! 👍🏼

[@rahmanwang]

Mangosteen is a very nutritious fruit. I love everything you gave your mum to try. Excellent video.

[@zb9074]

Chestnut is my all time favorite You should try the soya bean curd or taufu fa with brown sugar You gonna love it 😋

[@rahibullahnordin1134]

Welcome to Malaysia mom, you can't go wrong with mangosteen,the queen of fruit s,if it's hard it's no good

[@ckdauboy]

Wah ramai sekali street food di malaysia 👍👍

[@girlfromlebanon]

For her first time trying mochi, maybe you should have given Diane some mochi ice-cream. But maybe you have time to redeem the star rating with that. 😉

[@jamaltongkol7059]

to open up the mantosteen ..you have to press on the petals.. it will open up nicely

[@ruzanezu1798]

Glad some people share same interest like me, who love mangosteens❤❤❤

[@gebmetroworlds4537]

Oh, had you tried Malaysian doughnuts - kuih keria. Heavier than usual donuts in texture and smaller in size, with the best having a high sweet potato to wheat flour ratio. Fried and doused in sugar water to create a sugary crust. I would heartily recommend it. 😋 They may give Timmies a run for its money, perhaps.

[@rizlanghazali985]

Merdeka tower flicking a finger at KLCC... yet it is KLCC that has the iconic design...

[@zaharahramli4939]

FYI,mangosteen is the queen of fruit..its bcos it looks like wearing a crown.

[@options888]

We need more of your mom in your videos!

[@jalaluddinahmadshaharudin1106]

It is hard to impress anybody on such a short visit. It took me a year, before I really liked staying in America as a student. Like you, the only thing I don't like about Malaysia is the hot weather and the only thing I hate about living in America is the cold weather. Let's wait for the good guys to have control over the weather manipulation technology!

[@Chosenorc]

Great Video! I have never seen a travel blog where you take your parents on. It's soo wholesome! More power to you guys

[@sathi6395]

Mangosteen is known as the Queen of fruits. It was the HRH QE's favourite fruit that was despatched from Msia yearly to England. The British were in love with mongosteens when they arrived here 8n thec1700s and they wrote quite abit about it and wrote poems in honour of it. Glad your mum can see thru fruits..whoa LOL !!!!!

[@asyrafyap110]

Terbaik 👍

[@AhmadZakiVision]

8:41 - There are two versions. Thin and thick. Apam Balik is one of the popular snacks during the month of Ramadan. There may be a slight difference in the Apam Balik recipe made by Malays and other people.

[@NishidateKitsune]

An interesting trivia and fact about mangosteens.... check the star-shaped stub at the bottom of the fruit (the opposite side from the stem). Count the number of petals there. That coincides with the number of slices within the fruit.

[@iamtg1]

Seem like it is hard to please your mom. She has a high standard taste palate and I like her honesty though. ☺

[@ThomasThomas-be4sn]

It's not about high standards.. it's abt acquired and local taste.. and some Canadian or western food are rather bland, tasteless and cold..

[@sabariahmz]

To us Malaysians, durian is thr King of fruits and mangosteen is the Queen of fruits! 😊

[@panzlithium]

The queen of fruits!

[@arii1987]

Take mum and dad to Taman Connaught Pasar Malam. Its on every Wednesday night.

[@warnacreamadeicecreamskool6305]

I just love your mom honest comment and sensory evaluation 😂

[@tinmerah3260]

Should've find some thin crispy apam balik too.. some prefer those instead of the big fluffy ones..

[@katherinelo9657]

I also give 5 stars to the taste of mangosteens!

[@paulinelee8915]

Dukong is in season now. Do try it. Its good

[@jennylim7637]

[@khai5625]

[@nashk935]

[@borneodayak479]

[@alexischeong4730]

For Malaysians, durian is the king of fruit and mangosteen is the queen

[@fauzanriez9472]

She likes it!!!

[@hasnanhashim4386]

The mangosteen, the biggest "slice" got the seed. The seed is bitter if you happen to accidentally chew it...good anti oxidant though

[@dreamchaserJ]

#JetFam simply tell us what mom and pop thinks about the weather

[@badrulhisham5218]

For your info mangosteen have nickname Queen of friut

[@farah2044]

So true ken. Durian 2

[@zuraidaaeschbacher4136]

You can eat Mangosteen seed it tastes like nuts

[@guru6831]

Mangosteen might be the tastiest fruit!

[@johanamansor1352]

That mangosteen can be eaten with the seeds n it taste like peanut seriously😊

[@zulsham8730]

Wah.. its good that your parents enjoy the local stuff especially the manggis (mangosteen), but you can actually swallow the seeds no problem.. 😅

[@ThomasThomas-be4sn]

Bad advice, Rosmah😅, if she choked on a bigger seed, you'll get sued.. why some of these mat salleh are educated fools? All they ever had is apples, strawberry, oranges,grapes and pears!! How boring 😅😢

[@alhudafrozen2717]

I will tell u a secret about mangosteen...if u see at the bottom of the fruit there are some petals like ..if the petals are five then the inside fruit has five seeds...if its seven then the seeds also has seven...

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Fresh durian must taste but not in season now because raining

[@chooitan]

You already know that Durian is the King of Fruits. Now you just introduced your mom to the...yes....QUEEN of Fruits- Mangosteen is known as the queen of fruits.

[@AzhanAbdulRahim]

If mangosteen is to hard for you dad, try manggis (malay) 😁

[@aawangcsc]

Hai Mom ... 👋🏻. Welcome to Malaysia ❤

[@dianegreig4627]

[@shayap5441]

The key to enjoying mochi is to keep chewing on it till it disappears in the mouth, not bite and swallow

[@Amir-is8bk]

Steve, bring your parents jalan2 with Abang Ajib. hehr

[@tajabdullah.malaysia]

[@laksmana7]

8:21 Mangosteen is queen of fruit after durian king of fruit.... after eat durian is very hot than must eat Mangosteen to cood down back the body temperature... durian and Mangosteen is the pair fruit you must eat😅

[@andresloft]

[@kyosukeshidou1370]

[@imjuzsayin..5017]

[@maxayam8268]

That's it? Mochi, mangosteen and apam balik only?

[@65rainz]

you have to remove the stem from the mangosteen before you break it open.

[@alexandrupatru2892]

I'm only gonna say this once, it is mangosteen out there!

[@radsb]

3 stars for Petaling Street mochi is sacrilege

[@keangwooichoo6138]

I heard the mochi aunty passed away recently
