Bummer... Malaysia, as seen from quite a few KZbinrs, is being treated as a stopover. Some came over because they encountered visa issues elsewhere and M'sia became their refuge. 😆 And M'sia gives them 90 days of stay! There were those who stopped by and ended up staying longer because we exceeded their initial expectations. For that, I say terima kasih! BTW... If you guys are so looking forward to some sun, sand and sea ... M'sia has Langkawi, Redang, Perhentian in the west, and a bunch of island paradise in Sabah... which is right next to the Philippines. 🤷

[@lovevivo9182]

Hahahaha yes true...Run for visa expired🤣

[@leealex24]

Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley is ideal place for Asian expats actually because it's an Asian setting, relatively affordable living, almost every local speak English and very very liveable! Of course, very modern, futuristic too. :)

[@flugoaway3398]

You guys are in my country! Been watching you guys for a while and you’re the reason I booked a trip to Vietnam! And there’s way more in Malaysia than just Kuala Lumpur

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for your first impressions of KL, Kuala Lumpur. Welcome to Malaysia. Nice explorations in d city. U guys should have stayed a bit longer in KL. Come back again in d future.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

So far, I've heard few complaints already from foreign tourists about d price of d street food in Jalan Alor. To be honest, it does sound expensive. Might as well dine at a terrace shop restaurants, or d food courts in d malls, where d price for food is definitely cheaper. I wonder if u guys had d chance to eat at d food courts in either Suria KLCC d KL Pavilion or Lot 10 in Bukit Bintang.

11:47 Yes, you’re right, and fun fact, Kuala Lumpur actually has the highest number of expats in the South East Asia (SEA) region. In 2019, Malaysia had 26 million tourists coming in, being the 2nd (after Thailand) most visited country in SEA.

[@aNt1P414tAO]

Jalan Alor is a tourist food trap, hence the rather expensive prices 😅

[@simplerway489]

In 2019, the vast majority of tourists to Kuala Lumpur came from Singapore, Indonesia, China & Thailand - To the rest of the world, Kuala Lumpur remains a bland, sort of dirty, and uninteresting destination.

Kind of like a Spanish Paella 🥘 the clay-pot has the rice intentionally over cooked and stuck to pot base, the flavour caramelised into the rice. Most are fantastic, occasionally won't find a good one. It is a very popular dish.

The burnt rice at the bottom of the clay pot is what, people who know, want. Thought you would have seen it in Vietnam but you can actually buy whole discs of burnt rice and it's seasoned haha

[@456seven8]

The "burnt" part is the best part, sometimes they even sell them as is as snacks.. As for jalan alor, it's double the price of regular food cause it's a tourist street.. Anyway thanks for visiting my country ❤

Welcome to the foodie capital of the world and truly Asia guys!

[@elsienorback7689]

I've been to Vietnam a few times, each time about one month stay. I loved the northern area near Cat-Cat and Sapa. My favorite place was Hoi An in the Garden Village. I found some awesome clay pots to cook food in and brought back 4 clay pots home. They make the hardest, most durable clay products. If you had a tour of the prison in which John McCain became a POW, you would have discovered that they used clay bricks to make the prison within which POWs were unable to dig out because the clay was so strong. That sold me on purchasing a few to bring home. I know you guys are touring the world and cannot buy such things to take with you, but it worked out for me because I brought them back to Bali before traveling back to Alaska. I work about 7-8 months out of the year and travel the rest of the time.

[@sabrinas2181]

I feel the same way as most of their content is lacking depth such as basic research, history & culture etc of any destination. They're blowing through countries. Too bad they're not slowing down as traveling isn't supposed to be a race. Their visuals & editing are on point though. I've actually watched some of their videos on mute. If I want more detailed, thoughtful content I go elsewhere.

[@LloydandMandy]

Hi Neil, Thanks for your comment, we actually agree with you. When we were in Vietnam we tried to see as much as possible within 30 days, we got a bit caught up in the "travel vlog" lifestyle. And although we had a great time, it's caught up with us and we're feeling burnt out, we never intended on spending much time in Singapore and Malaysia , they were just stopovers to our newest country the Philippines. We are planning on slowing down here, we have a couple of spots we want to check out and if we like them, we are going to stay for a while and go back to sharing our experience "living" in the Philippines rather than trying to be "travel vloggers" because it's just not us.

Hi, airplanes have to defy gravity. This takes much more energy. This is why it is more expensive to fly compared to going by bus. This means they have to pack the passengers more closely on a plane compared to a bus. ( sorry backrest decliners!). If you go to China town in Kuala Lumpur its almost like street food in Bankok ( almost).

The reason theres no leg rooms on planes is that they just keep adding more rows of seats - more seats = more income. To me KL is like Bali but without the beaches

[@keangwooichoo6138]

I disagree on that sir. KL is different from bali. Bali does not have highrise towers. And of course it is cleaner than bali (sorry bali people). One is a city (the 4th largest in terms of highrise after china, usa, south korea), the other is a tropical resort town.

You can tell is not street food when you're seeing many westerners. So you're paying western food prices. Get away from the city buildings and you will find it. I found Malaysia just as cheap as Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippians for street food.

[@richarddaniel2416]

If you like big buildings all lite up at night, come visit Shanghai, none better.

[@DatukMusic]

You guys need to do some research on what food to order. Your food choices in KL, which has some of the best food in Asia, was all wrong. Claypot rice in Central Market was a mistake. (*It's meant to have a crispy bottom.) And Jalan Alor is best with a local to avoid the tourist pitfalls. Suggest you do some research on the Philippines, which has some of the worst food in Asia.
