MCDONALD'S in MALAYSIA is WAY BETTER Than You Think!!

[@KennethTangCF]

I have no idea how is Texas still around, it's the blandest chicken out of all the fast food chains.

[@audychan96]

Us Malaysians are definitely proud of our food culture, and we hold the same standard for big franchises too. Even our Maggie instant noodles (curry flavoured to be exact) is deemed as top tier, and many Malaysian students even make a fortune selling them overseas whenever they came back after semester break. If the food is bland, it won't sell among Malaysians 😂 and the street food (easiest to find at our pasar malam) or family-run businesses are where you'll find all the best local food.

[@Reardon_Explores]

You all should be. Great food culture! Definitely going to try more local dishes when I go back :)

Maggie Curry had its peak back in 30 years ago where you can smell the curry flavour outside your house when your mom cooks it. Or when you smell that in your house but there's no one at the kitchen you know it must be your neighbour cooking Maggie Curry. Flavour wise it has gone down 70% at least from the taste it should be.

[@GoodOneLULE]

Maggi is a Switzerland brand for those wondering, just a clarification. Dont want to accidentally claim. Same with milo, an australian chocolate drink brand, also very popular here.

[@bangtanmessage7065]

@harrow3908 its they brand but for malaysia market its not the same like it here , they developed the taste for malaysian bud is here , if you want the same taste like malaysia versions you have to buy the malaysia versions otherwise it's not the same at all .. like milo , Australia version it's very different from malaysia, malaysia flavor far more better

[@ForkMeeNoodle]

Friendly reminder, if you dine in at Malaysia fast food restaurant, there's a sauce station in some corner, so you can freely help yourself with it, the most basic sauce are tomato sauce and the chilli sauce, at the KFC there's supposed to have both of them and one addition which is thai chilli sauce which is my favourite 😅,most of the westerner who tried our Malaysian fast food franchise usually complain the food don't have any sauce or too little so would be a help if they would know this information first hand

[@Reardon_Explores]

Ah yes! That is right. Because of how busy it was, I didn't think about grabbing other sauces. Actually, the Chili sauce from Thai McDonalds is sweet too, not spicy at all which is interesting.

[@ForkMeeNoodle]

@@Reardon_Explores yeah, it's supposed to be sweet & sour and a little bit spicy for that little kick for a chilli sauce, even in Malaysia, different brand of chilli sauce have different taste🤣 some more to the sweet side,some more to the spicy and some may a little salty, so know your brand of chilli sauce in Malaysia are essential actually 🤣🤣, because some of it help to make the dish more delicious

Malaysia’s McD have a lot of seasonal items offered either during certain festive seasons or throughout a period of time as limited offers (could be more than once within a year). So it keeps everyone always looking into their menu from time to time to see what would pop-up for the day. It’s fun and entertaining and creative as well😊 We take McD’s pie for example. The all time available (permanent) pie is apple pie. But on other occasions or limited time frame, you could get banana pie, pineapple pie, corn pie, coconut pie, pulut hitam santan (black glutinous rice with coconut milk) pie, taro (yam) pie, and many more! *At least more than 10-15 flavors (of pie) offered in Malaysia McD’s so far and on going.. My personal favorites are banana pie, pineapple pie & corn pie ❤😊

I spent most of my high school years and 20s in the East Coast particularly MA and NY, I agree with you Malaysian MCDonaldsare the best. Since there’s a lot American KZbinrs are doing similar content on Malaysian MCDonald’s , it ‘s getting super predictable and annoying. I highly recommend you to do other American franchises e.g. Taco Bells, Texas Chicken, Subways, Burger Kings and the list goes on.. Btw from all the other American wannabe KZbinrs, I found that your contents are the most genuine and sincere. I wish you well in getting more subscribers here in Malaysia and Eid Mubarak my friend .. I wish I am in KL right now so I can invite you and your GF to my open house. Unlike in America, when we celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas, it’s only for the close families or friends but here in Malaysia when we celebrate Eid, we invite and welcome all to our home for a big great feast. Enjoying your contents and another suggestion if you going to be in Malaysia for a long period of time, I highly recommend to interact with the local, in experiencing what Malaysia truly is

[@enizahafiz2039]

Yeah, we normally have the chicken porridge when we're feeling sick or fever, or when we feel a little blue. Grg is the abbreviation for Goreng (Fried). The spicy chicken even taste better than KFC's "Hot and Spicy chicken". I like the fried chicken on it's own. But most would probably dip it with ketchup or chilli sauce. Some of Malaysian love to dip the fries 🍟 into the sundae, it's the hot and cold, salty and sweet combo.

[@Reardon_Explores]

It is a great meal to have sick. Now, I'll be wanting it when I'm under the weather. Hahaha yes! Many people have talked about dipping it in chili sauce, which is so interesting! Woah! Fries in Sundae. You know, this is super famous in the US with the fast food Wendys. We call it "dipping the fries in the frosty". 😂😂

[@mrbluebell2735]

That's a chicken stock rice congee. Breakfast staple of a Chinese restaurant. Add salted egg and salted peanuts for more taste.

[@Koh_Hui_Qin]

As a Malaysian, Ayam grg ( ayam goreng) means Fried Chicken in Malay ( Bahasa Melayu ). Also we don’t really dip the chicken is anything,but some people do like to dip it in the Sos Cili ( Cili sauce)they give.

[@Reardon_Explores]

Ah right. Some like it to have a bit of spicy and tangy sweetness

[@Zeemas]

If you love fried chicken and spiciness, you have to try their Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. It's essentially a chicken burger (chicken sandwich) and I can bet your bottom dollar that it's almost everyone's go to in McDonald's here in Malaysia. So good

Right! That's a bummer because it's so delicious!

[@lynncomel]

I think the porridge got a little bit more salty after you add in the white/black pepper powder. I think that powder has some MSG or salt added in. The porridge is already good by itself, no need to add the powder. This is my personal opinion since the saltiness of the porridge is already good as is. The spicy chicken is also much more spicy than KFC spicy chicken so I can confirm they didn't take the chicken from there. Love your video. It's a balance between talking and ASMR. The black seeds on the wrap bread is chia seeds or quinoa if I'm not mistaken. Glad you had a fulfilling experience eating food here. Sending love from Malaysia.❤

I prefer Mekdi(Mac D) fried chicken.. Chicken foldover only available 1 month a year, during Ramadhan month only..

[@aramlieMelaka]

Suprise...Foldover usually only exist in fasting month in Malaysia.if you can find oneoutside the fasting month, you are so lucky..that special sauce is garlic sauce..usually for chicken. and spicy sauce for beef foldover..but now you can choose any sauce for your patty..😊

[@Reardon_Explores]

Found it during Ramadan time. Was lucky to visit then

[@diecast4556]

the foldover was a good choice! 😋👍 personally i'd go for the garlic sauce its the bomb!!

[@Reardon_Explores]

Ahh okay. Next time. Sometimes white sauces can be overkill but that sounds pretty good

[@rickymarcell9691]

I love to see you video. keep that coming! am you new subscriber btw. when you come back to Malaysia do try more local foods. Malaysia has many too offer and they are extreme delicious not trying to exaggerate. Cheers~ ✌

[@Reardon_Explores]

Thank you! More to come. I will be doing one more trip soon in Malaysia before moving on to other countries.

[@itsjustsimplesmol7926]

I really love Malaysia Macdonald it's delicious and Very good 😊 And for your information Grg means Fried/frying 😅 and yup Malaysia Fried chicken is spicy

[@Reardon_Explores]

Ah yes. Thanks!

[@happyrui6468]

Thanks for supporting my country❤

[@Reardon_Explores]

It's a great place to travel! :)

[@korokmung1588]

Ayam grg means fried chicken, grg is a short form for "goreng" in malays...goreng = fried

[@Reardon_Explores]

Ah I see it now! Thanks!

[@umarhannachannel]

you know what, when that ayam goreng spicy first came out on the menu, i was fall in love with it, i meant deeply madly in love with it. to be honest, i had it almost everyday. god! the feeling...was amazing. yes the consequence of that crazy loves, i managed to gained weight a lot i mean a lot hahahahahahahaha, so i had to quite. now, i eat it 1 or 2 times a month sometimes once a month. hahahaha yes, im not gonna lie, that chicken is the best!! and for the porridge, we as a mom, when our kids fell sick, that porridge will be the first thing came up to our mind. tasty, fulfilling and easy kids friendly.

[@Reardon_Explores]

Haha wow that is a wild ride. At least you got your fair share of it and have your temptations under check now. Seems like everyone's go-to sick meal is the McDonald's porridge. Malaysia McDonald's should be happy. 😝😃

[@mann60abas]

On of the reason why Mc D beef or chicken burgers are more delicious is bcoz the animals are required to be slaughtered the HALAL way. There are big differences ....plus the spices had been modified to Malaysian taste. Don't forget that Malaysia is a heaven for Food.

[@Reardon_Explores]

Exactly! I have done some research on the processing of animal deaths to the kitchen. Many foreign cultures (outside of US) have super intriguing theories/ways of processing them have positive effects on the taste of food.

[@SSkilled41]

dude i love this video, u deserve more.

[@Reardon_Explores]

Thanks for watching it! I will make more 😝

[@conanc3570]

Is it only me feel like Malaysia getting more and more recognition lately from foreign influencers?

[@Reardon_Explores]

I believe so...I think it's because people want somewhere new after visiting Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia so much. Plus, for US citizens, we can stay in Malaysia 90 days visa-free

[@christinaoutavaara8591]

@@Reardon_Explores Woww US Citizens Can stay 90 days Visa Free In Malaysia?! Awesome I wish We All Malaysian Can Get Stay 90 days Visa Free In US Also For vacation and holiday explore beautiful city in US Seems like Singapore can Stay in US For 90 days visa free! But We Malaysian citizens its really hard fr to Get tht Holiday visa Going to US Lots of thing have to do Emmmmmm😢😔

[@Reardon_Explores]

I know it would be nice. But unfortunately, because of terror attacks to US, from foreign people and native people, the US is becoming a difficult place of entry. Especially with our migrant crisis

[@MegaElsya]

I hope you'll get more recognition from people on the youtube!!

[@Reardon_Explores]

Fingers crossed 🤞 we will see what the KZbin Gods have in store :) if not...i'll still keep it going because I enjoy it :)

[@MrX-un8cz]

Malaysia fried chicken market is extremely competitive so if you fail to deliver what general public want ie crispy skin with soft and tender flesh some people might buy it but the majority will actively avoid it i always avoid KFC and McDonald fried chicken because their chicken flesh tend to be overcooked

[@Reardon_Explores]

That's interesting! But, I found that the McDonald's chicken was quite good and the skin was cooked to perfection. Mostly in the US, you will find chicken skin to be more fatty and less crispy, which is disappointing!

[@snifey7694]

McDonald's: Malaysia have some form of employee motivation, everyone might know, the job is quite terrible, which the contract might cheekily offer depression, but in Malaysia, we take the notes with japan and make the job alot more cheerful, what i see, McDonald's locations are always ought for local in order of hiring the local population of the area, henceforth everyone know each other. So yeah lovely discipline and motivation.

[@Reardon_Explores]

I can see that. every time I have been, the local workers seem very friendly!

[@mayam-YTAM]

Try marry brown it's a local Malaysian fast food chain. I love the chicken and rice menus are spot on for fast food.

[@Reardon_Explores]

Sure will do!

[@hisham_othman]

AYAM "GRG" SPICY.. the "GRG" is a short form of GORENG which means fry, in bahasa melayu (malay language)

[@Reardon_Explores]

Thanks. now I know

[@FireDragon009PlaysMc]

Ayam grg( short for goreng meaning fried) spicy..... It just means spicy fried chicken

[@Reardon_Explores]

That is right

[@lissinrowena]

Ayam GRG is a short form of ayam GORENG @ fried chicken

[@Reardon_Explores]

right

[@kylek2623]

I love AyamGoreng McD and KFC.. Ayam Georgie 🤣🤣😂😂 it's ok Today and tomorrow KL will be quiet again.. You might enjoy the empty road.. many immigrant workers will be at KLCC enjoying their holidays..

[@Reardon_Explores]

Ah right! I need to try more from these places! Delicious menu items haha

[@jayleyy]

If you ever come down to Singapore 🇸🇬, we have seasonal menu too :)! Seasonal (cant name all): Prosperity Burger (Peppery) Nasi Lemak Burger (Spicy Sweet Sambal) Har Cheong Kai Burger (Prawn Paste) Samurai Beef Burger (Sweet Teriyaki) Ninja Chicken Burger Hokkaido Salmon Burger Rendang Sedap Angus Beef Burger Seoul Spicy Burger Signature special: Angus Beef Buttermilk Chicken (personally my favorite along side their regular menu Filet-o-Fish) We have McCrispy which used to be a legacy menu in the past and they brought it back. I kinda forget the taste but it wasnt bad. For Singaporeans, we really like our McGriddles (breakfast), McSpicy and Filet o Fish burger. Oh, you wouldnt want to miss out our Chilli sauce, it is definitely unique here in Singapore 😉 Lastly, our McNuggets with Curry Sauce is a matchmake in heaven!

[@Reardon_Explores]

Definitely want to spend some time in Singapore but it isn't near my budget right now :( In the future I will for sure spend time sampling the cuisine and walking the streets. Thanks a lot for all the recommendations. I'll have to come back to this list for when I visit! :)

[@Pepperoni249]

You are right. Whenever im sick or when i still had my braces on. I’d order the small porridge that you’re having in this video and ate it while it’s still warm.. ahhh 🤤 edit: GRG is an abbreviation for GoRenG that means fried. ayam means chicken

[@Reardon_Explores]

Ah If I am sick while there, I know where I am going haha. Thanks!

[@norlia1046]

Ayam (chicken) GRG is goreng (fried) pedas (spicy) = spicy fried chicken

[@norlia1046]

I like to eat the porridge with the chicken😋

[@arifhaikal8640]

Good thing i didnt encounter this video on Ramadhan

[@Reardon_Explores]

Hahaha otherwise you would have went?

[@varscraft1473]

you should try Nasi Lemak Mcd

[@Reardon_Explores]

I have. You can find it on my second channel.

[@shaikazriq1937]

The special Sauce in the Fold over is called Harissa Sauce and it's only available during the Holy Month Of Ramadhan it also comes with Garlic Sauce. The Garlic sauce really goes well with the chicken and the Harissa Sauce actually goes better with Beef Fold Over

[@Reardon_Explores]

Ahhh I don't think it tasted like garlic sauce. But maybe it was and the other ingredients massed it.

[@weirdeye9993]

It's because the ice-cream machine actually works

[@Reardon_Explores]

Hahaha yep! Always!

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

The thing a lot of people don't understand is that food qualities aren't the same across different managements. McDonald's in the US may be disgusting, but here in Malaysia, it's really good.

[@Reardon_Explores]

I totally agree!

[@enizahafiz2039]

I think you should do a review between McDonald's, KFC, A&W, Burger King(BK) fried chicken. There's Texas Chicken too, although I find that it probably won't be able to beat the rest except foe it's honey biscuits 😅

[@Reardon_Explores]

That would be quite interesting! Never heard of A&W! Haha in my opinion, Texas Chicken isn't so good. 😂

[@farahhidayujamil3001]

Welcome to Malaysia Bestii🥳💗👋
