Melaka is my mom’s favorite city in Malaysia! 🇲🇾

We took our family to Melaka, and everyone, especially mom loves it.
Melaka is only 2-hr away from Kuala Lumpur, but offers a completely different vibe.
Mom said it's like the Malaysian Venice.
Check out our adventure touring Melaka, including trying some famous Malaysian food from the state.

[@tomiemyspace5054]

Haha ... Aggressive is [not] the right word ... Let me think of a better word for it ...

[@queva3062]

[@Seramics]

Its aggressive, because anytime you piss her off, she is gonna punch your face. She inherited the spirit of malay warrior,very fierce, very aggressive. Tread carefully with her.

[@pawehbsam5872]

a bit correction about Cheng Ho (Zheng He)..he is not bringing islam in Malacca but he played an important role in establishing relationship between China and Muslim countries..because he was born in muslim family, Hui Chinese from Yunnan, China..

[@MusicforMe123]

Wow... your mom can start her own channel. She is full of energy... Love it!!!

[@shahmi5727]

I mean who doesn't love Malacca? It's impossible to not love it once you explore the city

[@errolruxton6031]

The wordings on the wall is referring to Melaka & Georgetown being inscribed on the UNESCO world heritage list in 2008 during the committee session held at Quebec city, Canada.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Wonderful Melaka. Thank you for this video.

"Islam was introduced to the Malay Peninsula coast by Arabs in 674 CE. Islam was also brought to Malaysia by Arab Muslim and Tamil Indian Muslim traders in the 12th century AD. It is commonly held that Islam first arrived in the Malay peninsula since Sultan Mudzafar Shah I (12th century)" says Wikipedia

[@choysum]

There are some rumours cheng ho was a muslim and may also have some influence in spreading Islam. But we will never really know.

[@seechunchong9876]

Steve, since you like history, here is some little fun fact on Zheng He, from Wikipedia. Zheng He, who real name was Ma He (Mohd equivalent) was a great-great-great-grandson of Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din Omar, who served in the administration of the Mongol Empire and was the governor of Yunnan during the early Yuan dynasty. Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din was of Central Asian Irainic origin, being a Muslim Khwarezmian from Bukhara (in present-day Uzbekistan). When Genghis Khan attacked the city during the war between the Khwarizmi Shah and the Mongols, Sayyid Ajall Shams al-Din Omar's family surrendered to him. He was allegedly descended from Ali ibn Abi Talib and the Prophet, Sayyid Ajall's father was Kamāl al-Dīn and his grandfather was Shams al-Dīn 'Umar al-Bukhārī. According to Marshall Broomhall, Shams al-Din, "who was a native of Bokhara, is said to have been a descendant of Mohammed (twenty-seventh generation)." Sayyid participated in Mongke Khan's conquest of Sichuan and was in charge of logistics. He served the court of the Yuan dynasty at Yanjing (modern day Beijing). Later, he was in charge of Imperial finances in 1259, sent to Yunnan by Kublai Khan (Yuan Dynasty) after conquering the Kingdom of Dali in 1274. In the autumn of 1381, a Ming army, after kicking out the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty) invaded and conquered Yunnan. Zheng He was captured by the Ming armies at Yunnan in 1381 by General Fu Youde and was sent to serve in the household of Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, who later became the Yongle (Ming) Emperor and later, awarded Ma He the honorable name "Zheng He" For more details, check it out in Wikipedia. Cheers

[@EYL542]

Cendol is a rice flour jelly, normally eaten with coconut milk and coconut sugar together with shaved iced. The durian is an added ingredients these days. Malacca cendol is famous. The green color come from pandan leaves although some may use food coloring

[@amerasyraf9241]

[@seechunchong9876]

Btw, the lizard is called "Biawak" in Malay, Monitor Lizard in English and "4 Legged Snake" in Chinese. Apparently, it taste like chicken. 😅😅😅

[@venessasequerah7329]

Ive eaten Biawak cooked Eurasian Dable Curry ,it tasted like chicken just a little sweeter.

Thanks steve for the melaka tour. I have been to melaka on many occasions. But does not seems that glam. U make it looks really lively. Tq

[@airadium]

Malacca is my favourite city too. The vibe is really... authentic.

[@brandonlim5468]

Your mum is a natural. Looks so much at home with the intro. Well done! 👍 Btw, at the chicken rice shop, the 2 sauce served are the chilli and the ginger (not garlic & onion). As for the riceball, you can actually break it and eat as rice if you're more comfortable eating this way. Also, it's good to see your mum loving Melaka and i believe Malaysia has given her a good impression.

[@S4ift37]

Your mom is the best mom ever!

[@AzlindaRosAbdulAziz]

Hai Steve....!!! I'm excited to see your video because of your mom.... she's just amazing...!!! That cendol for me is not up to the standard... it looks like lack of coconut milk, and that is the most important ingredient to make cencol... that's what make it differ from ABC...but unfortunately it's not there.... That small lime in the drinks we call it "calamansi"... very common here in Malaysia... normally when we ask for "teh O limau" @ ice lemon tea they normally don't use lemon, but they use this calamansi instead... Melaka river cruise os one of my favourite too.... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wrong history from British..kedah more older than melaka

[@azidinzidin9234]

@@yasirmansor6555 as a Historian is hard to explain to u the begining of Malaysia, but u can refer to any Curator about this. Kedah before Malacca was under Siamise territory, not Malaysia until conquered by Malacca Sultanate Empayer afterward...

[@shaifulmukhelas947]

Give Roti Canai with Devil Curry a try 😊 You can't find it anywhere - even in Malacca where the Devil Curry originated from. FYI, Devil Curry is a Malaccan Portuguese dish and from the way how it's prepared, one can say it's a variation of Vinho de Alho (an old Portuguese dish) or Vindaloo in Goa ,but am not sure about it. Usually, I'd "tapau" (takeaway) the Devil Curry from a Portuguese Malaccan restaurant in KL called Kumi "(Come" in standard Portuguese), keep it in the fridge overnight, reheat it in the morning and eat it with Roti Canai that I tapau-ed from the mamak or Malay stall. That's the best thing about living in Malaysia: You're free to mix and match everything according to your creativity and before you know it, you're having something new on your plate! 😂

[@MrClarity8]

14:10 minute, shout out to Pak Seyit who sells Turkish product!

[@simplyme3306]

That's not garlic and onion. It's ginger paste/puree perhaps doused in hot oil cooked in spring onion for the fragrance. We simply refer to the chili as chicken rice chili not sambal as they are different : )

Some scholars claim Melaka founded in 1396. The 1st king was Parameswara, malay hindu prince from Srivijaya. Then, circa 1414 or 1424, Islam become official religion in Mlka. Admiral Zheng He only visits Mlka but not spread Islam. Islam introduced by Indian muslim & arab traders..

[@Mk-qc2yt]

20:35 "Zheng he " is Chinese Pinyin (China's mandarin pronunciacion ), “Cheng Ho " is Malaysian native transliteration”。

Well Arab traders did introduce Islam to the region, but Zheng He is also partly responsible for the spread of Islam in the archipelago and establishing Islamic institutions in the region. So he deserves credit.

Chicken rice ball only in Melaka. Those chilli sauce are for chicken rice. So usually abit vinegar-ish. Not sambal. The 2nd yellowish sauce is ginger paste with oil. Usually when you eat Chinese style poach or steamed chicken will serve you this pair of sauce. 😉

[@KK-jq5yx]

Melaka is different from other states, as it’s the only state that had been colonized by the portuguese, dutch, british. There are misconception that the whole country was colonized by the portuguese & the dutch. Thats why the city has a different vibe compared to other states which was a result of hundreds years of external influences

Yes. Parameswara used to pay dowry to chinese regime in exchange of protection from his own brother which rules the majapahit kingdom, and Siamese kingdom. General Zhenghe does play a pivotal role in portraying how islam is as a religion to the aboriginal and Malay people at the time. But he's not the one responsible to influence Parameswara to revert to islam. There is this scholar from yemen i believe, i forgot his name cuz its too long. 😅
