Learning To Eat Like A Local In Malaysia

We met up with a local Malaysian man called Syed and he showed us how to eat the Malaysian way! Learning to eat like a local in Malaysia is not an easy task and takes some practice, but to do so he took us to try some real Malaysian food in the local area of Kuala Lumpur including the authentic patin tempoyak (catfish in fermented durian sauce). It was our first time trying this Malaysian dish and we were pretty excited to try something weirder and more off the beaten path than what most foreigners try when in Malaysia.

Man, Mario's hand eating technique is really on point. He even uses his thumb to push the food from the fingers into the mouth.

[@dazzlinghands9883]

Yep..Mario got it right! he's gonna be a pro...

[@dmzdesign09]

He looked natural👍

[@nikadnan1004]

BRAVO guys! Love to see both of you enjoying our Authentic Traditional Malay dish, Patin Tempoyak! plus the 'ulam'

[@TravelsonToast]

It turned out to be one of our favourites now 🙌

[@samergad6796]

It looks very delicious, I am very impressed that he is eating using his hands like a pro and I am very glad both of you enjoyed it.

Rimbun Dahan was founded and maintained by a famous architect and his family. They offer placements for artists to live and work there for a certain period of time to support the arts. They also dismantled two different types of traditional-style houses from different states, moved and reconstructed the houses on the Rimbun Dahan premises. At least that’s what I was told when I went there many years ago. Amazing place, really loved my visit

[@saf6996]

Yes, we managed to meet Angela Hijjaz while we were there. What a warm welcome

Pandan leaves are also know as Asian vanilla. Yes Worcestershire sauce was created from Asian recipes. So the local version in Malaysia is much older than the English version. So yes very likely England stole it from Malaysia 🤣

Teh halia - milk tea with ginger Kailan ikan masin - Chinese broccoli with salted fish Kedondong asam boi - ambarella sour plum

[@akaizatyusof]

Lot of dish can be a local special, like ikan patin masak tempoyak (catfish with fermented durian) is a Pahang signature dish because of the ingredient. We can say a top quality for that specific fish in that dish can be acquire from Pahang. Different state with different signature dish because of best-local ingredient. We can found it elsewhere but it hardly can be the best if we compare to the original place.

[@mohdzamri3322]

Wah... Sedapnya mkn nasi gulai ikan patin, kailan ikan masin dll 👍👍

Not surprised that foreigner will like tempoyak. Me born and raised in Malaysia don't really like durian but i can go on second plate of rice with tempoyak. I also like soupy warm dessert added durian, northern Malaysian called it serawa durian!

[@TravelsonToast]

It's not at all like we imagined it would be, durian can be so overwhelming, even smell alone, but this dish was on another level! Really glad we tried this.

Tips to eat comfortably with hand. lower your elbow, rest your elbow on the table.

[@MrCyberizal]

11:52 your technique was correct and thumbs up but before the food reach ur mouth... Open ur mouth bigger and slowly push your food using ur thumbs inside ur mouth. I mean almost inside. And slowly chew. And u gonna taste them Amazingly sedap.. Sangat sedap..
