LEGENDARY BACK ALLEY NASI LEMAK EATING CHALLENGE! | 21 PLATES EATEN SOLO?! | Nasi Lemak Bumbung KL!

In this episode, I ventured to the back alleys of KL to take on the legendary Nasi Lemak Bumbung! For those who are not familiar, Nasi Lemak is a traditional Malay dish with fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf, usually served with an array of sides like fried chicken, spicy sambal, perfectly cooked sunny side up egg, cucumber slices and peanuts. I sampled not one, not two, but 21 whole plates of it - solo! Witness as I navigate through endless piles of delicious fried chicken and dive spoon-first into the incredible sambal that's firing up my taste buds like never before!
This food exploit isn't just about indulging in mouthwatering dishes; it's also a testament to how much I appreciate and relish in the rich tapestry of Southeast Asian culinary culture! If you enjoy epic food challenges and unique dining experiences just as much as I do, don't forget to subscribe to our channel and turn on post notifications so you won't miss out any tasty adventures we have lined up for you in this 3 episode KL series!

Zermatt really cleans his rice till no grain left - salute to you man - the amount of carbs just on one nasi lemak, you really nail it so swiftly. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ZermattNeo]

Thanks sister!

[@elaineclaire7063]

you also so cute hor, eat with your sunglasses on when theres no sun. 🙊🙊

[@sophiaisabelle01]

Nasi Lemak sure tastes good. We hope to see more content like this.

[@ZermattNeo]

For sure!

[@thomastji]

Really love quality content like this. Well done Zermatt! A national competitive eater.

[@ZermattNeo]

Thanks Thomas!

[@noyungletchannel4073]

Whaoo .. 20 plates of nasi lemak, a bowl of rendang with roti canai - you really enjoy food. Sambal nasi lemak is cooked with onions and some add dry shrimps plus other condiments. Thus one can taste the different layers of flavour. Great share 🧡👍

[@ZermattNeo]

Thank you!

[@tommytoronto20]

Great video Zermatt and it was nice seeing you in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Yes I agree with you on the back Alley scene it's totally different. Malaysia style Nasi Lemak looks so good, thank you Zermatt for showing this place and good luck for the charity contest.

[@ZermattNeo]

Thanks brother!

[@tommytoronto20]

@@ZermattNeo you're welcome my friend, can't wait to see your next video in Malaysia.

[@jt8433]

Damn funny when Zermatt says "They only serve 1 item here" and then out came a plate of maggi goreng. hahahahahahhahahaa

[@ZermattNeo]

Lmao!

[@spawnzadreamer]

I used to befriend with a guy like you back then at school. He always had insomnia though and that actually gives him the superpower to eat a lot but still not fat. You're cool. 😊😊😊

[@ZermattNeo]

Hahaha oh wow. Thank you!

[@kagrawc]

Interestingly, in different states of Malaysia, Hokkien Mee refers to different kinds of foods. In the southern part of Malaysia, Hokkien Mee is referred to as the dark-colored noodles as mentioned by Zermatt. But in the northern part of Malaysia such as Penang, Hokkien Mee refers instead to soup-based prawn noodles.

[@kevo5020]

Correct. The dark hokkien mee is KL style which Penangites call dai lok mee which is basically the thicker yellow noodles that they use for the noodles. Penang hokkien mee is har mee soup as what KL people would call it. Penang also has hokkien char which is fried noodles which is brown in colour.

[@ZermattNeo]

Yeah, I'm still not exactly familiar but will explore more

[@muhddanial1]

When Zermatt was showing the chicken, I could immediately smell the aroma from my screen. 😋

[@ZermattNeo]

Lmao! Solid bro

[@jojoleong1]

Wow I can hear the crunch from the fried chicken drumstick 😄 I like SG and MY Hokkien mee, each has its own unique taste ❤

[@ZermattNeo]

Awesome!

[@user-ve5cs3be6m]

Hey Zermatt, just near by this nasi lemak bumbung got a charcoal fried Hokkien Mee cooked by a 70 years old uncle, quite a decent hokkien mee that you can try but beware of the waiting time! It's called Lao Ping Hokkien Mee @ sea park restaurant. You can check them out when you come again.

[@ZermattNeo]

👌👌

[@midoriyashounen8967]

Overrated 🤭

[@trancesta8847]

Always quality content. Love your channel and how you promote these places. Keep it coming!

[@ZermattNeo]

Thank you so much!

[@Spawny23]

Prawn mee in Penang is labeled as "Hokkien Mee", and the rest of the states is the dark color mee and thick noodle similiar to udon. I tried the Singapore version and its quite light tasting, whereas the MY version has more flavor to it. It depends on your palate if you prefer a lighter or heavier flavor. The dark version emphasize alot on the Wok Hey rather than the ingredient.

[@ZermattNeo]

Ahh gotcha

[@stevenycs79]

Further down from this place is the famous Hokkien Noodle house called Ah Wah (Jalan 223). Maybe 5-10mins away. Next to the shell station.

[@ZermattNeo]

I filmed that already! Video coming soon

I gain weight watching 👀 Zermatt 's videos 📹. 😅 I'm for real. Also, coming home late from work then eat. Now, I'm dieting, but watching this makes me want to eat a buffet. 😅

[@carina808]

salute to u, Zermatt for eating beside a drain. No matter how good n delicious d food is, I can’t bring myself to enjoy.

[@ZermattNeo]

Hahaha bobian, street food is like this

[@butteranium]

As a Malaysian, Nasi Lemak and CKT for sure Malaysia win but tbh I think I'll give the edge to Singapore when it comes to Hokkien Mee bcs I'm not a huge fan of the sweet dark sauce of the Malaysian version, I prefer the savoury SG version

[@jeon-woo]

Same, eventho I have never taste both hokkien mee from Sg or Msia at all😂😂😂 I'm just not a fan of soy sauce that much especially sweet soy sauce that covers the whole taste of the food.

[@CalvinK-the_old_fogey]

The black KL Hokkien Mee and the Singapore white Hokkien Mee are as different as Mee Soto and Mee Rebus. Totally cannot compare lah

[@leo.aquatics]

nah.

[@jigeahah5058]

How can you compare them 😂 even though they have the same name it’s a completely different dish 😂

[@kevo5020]

Fully respect that taste is subjective but while the KL hokkien mee uses caramelised soy sauce, it should still be savoury. Reading that you think the SG one is savoury implies the KL version is sweet and that just shows you haven’t had a good one. A good one should be a balance of savoury, sweet, umami, wok hey and spicy with the chilli.

[@DenLim123]

I cant believe you actually went to bumbung, my favorite place to go for supper during university days XD

[@yeepz]

KL and SG (and Penang) hokkien mee are entirely different dishes. Don’t think you can compare apples to oranges.

[@user-dy7ru2cp1y]

終於又上片了開心🥳這麼熱的天氣拍影片真的很辛苦，還可以吃這麼多，給你一個👍我不會怕你吃完不付錢而打你😂因為我想跟你合影，希望你有機會來台南時，我可以見到你，請你吃美食😊

真的吗 我11月会来台南！你们的市长请我们过去！

[@PsychInOz]

Wah, feel so hungry now. Prefer Malaysian Nasi Lemak, but hard to compare SG vs Malaysian Hokkien Mee as dishes are too different in style. A bit like Bak Kut Teh - Teochew vs Klang, don't ask me to choose!

[@ZermattNeo]

Ikr hahaha both is good but bkt Klang is king

[@candychiu1864]

[@kennedypoi503]

In honour of Nasizermatt festival! I tried and finished 4 plates of vegetarian Char Koay Teow today, because I'm suffering from gout thus imposing upon myself a total seafood abstenence. i must say they vegetarian version is better tasting than its more popular prawn version. Malaysian of course.

Awesome, will make it happen

[@Notoriousjunior374]

The “pasty” sambal you eat in Singapore are usually bought from supplier cos food owners themselves dunno how to make. There are “watery” or a combination of the former and “oily”, those are made in house which gives the “authentic” taste. 😀

[@leigh459]

The food looks good. You always have amazing videos.

when are you dropping by KL again? i could bring you to eat the best hokkien mee (black one😅) spot !

[@ngyonghuei6577]

It's actually pronounce as Boom-Bong. Bumbung is malay word which literally means roof. Some also called this place as Nasi Lemak Babi because it's nearby Bak Kut Teh restaurant.

[@ZermattNeo]

Got it got it! 🙏🙏

[@jarednghaozhi]

Try also the village park Nasi Lemak, I think it is better than bumbung nasi lemak. Just nearby bumbung nasi lemak also have a charcoal hokkien mee also quite good.

He got try before i think. Old video

[@ZermattNeo]

Filmed there b4 brother!

[@jacinthtan4293]

Seeing you eating nasi lemak makes me think of Mo Wanwan from Holland V. Lol

[@mitzioong1466]

I love the nasi lemak ayam there . but i can only take 3 plates max. Haha 😁

[@ZermattNeo]

3 plates v strong alr sir

[@savannah.Shin0208]

The difference is that Malaysian Hokkien noodles are thick noodles cooked with dark soy sauce and lard residue. Singapore Hokkien Mee is a mixture of rice noodles and yellow noodles cooked in broth. I prefer Malaysian Hokkien noodles, they are more fragrant and delicious.

[@raymondtay5184]

Char Kway Teow Penang still the best. But again it’s white VS black, so there’s a difference. For Nasi Lemak, Malaysia better. For Hokkien mee, it’s totally 2 different dishes. So not comparing. Prawn soup noodle, in Penang actually called Hokkien mee , is much better than our prawn soup noodle. But we have the dry version !
