Sir I am a Malaysian Muslim and I believe I speak on behalf of all of us that there's nothing offensive here at all.. keep doing what you are doing now and looking forward for your future content

Yeap yeap, We all live in harmony and respect each other's beliefs and culture. Only those that are super closed-minded and racist will make a fuss about such things which you can totally pay no heed to them. Just do what you guys do best and continue loving the country, thankyou for your effort as always and all the best to you guys!

True. Harmony living. We respect each other here.

[@bohu4586]

durain is a kind of fruit, it's totally vegan. i thought anything vegan was halal. i'm not mulism but i have many mulism friends, can you tell me if i misunderstand about halal?

[@azwasaaidns3936]

​​​@@bohu4586because iChang did mentioned about pork at d end of d video. Plus, this restaurant is basically run by non Muslim (Chinese I guess) & no halal certificate was on their menu. Fruit is halal of course, but there are much more factors to consider. Particularly if it involves the sharing usage of kitchen utensils, it's still considered prohibited/ non halal for Muslim to eat/ consume any foods. Basically we don't know if ramen is merely simple broth or mixing of pork meat, so it's another point to ponder too

[@tmnta]

Its okay for you to share your non-halal food experience as it is part of Malaysian culture diversity. Keep travelling to enjoy food as much as you can. And remember to keep safe and stay safe as covid-19 also has many new variations which also comes with no symptoms.

[@metitan1398]

It's not a problem, your subscribers have Muslim&non-muslim in Malaysia right? So just enjoy

[@muhdnaemcheismail3735]

Yes don't worry Jimmy and Ichang. We are all fine. When you mentioned it as non-halal, people will understand. Just go and explore the food. Mentioning it as halal/non-halal is good enough.

[@sinnyable]

No need to apologize. Just mentioned whether the food is halal or not at the beginning of video. For those who think the video is not suitable can opt out. Is nothing disrespectful reviewing non halal food. I am sure your muslim fans are all very understanding . U hv both Muslim and non Muslim fans as well.

I am more interested in the content and I am sure all viewers will understand...there is a lot of diversed food in malaysia...even some food in borneo that i dont try.... I dont take beef but it doesnt mean i dont watch it because its beef...purely for content purposes

[@AjiNoPanda]

I'm a non-Muslim viewer from America who has never been to Malaysia but my husband and I want to go there based on your videos. No need to apologize at all, Malaysia is such a diverse country, after all. Chinese/Nyonya cuisine such as bak kuh teh and babi pongteh uses pork but you wouldn't apologize for eating that, would you? It's as much a part of Malaysian culture so everyone will understand you trying everything the country has to offer, since that's what you're there to do.

[@nimay13]

Malaysian here, just a heads up. "Babi" means pig/pork but it can be used as a cuss word. So yeah, use it with context and a bit of caution to avoid any misunderstanding. By any means, come to Malaysia. Enjoy yourselves here. Protip, research about our monsoon season first. If you plan to come during year end (Dec - Jan), expect daily rain.

[@AjiNoPanda]

@@nimay13 that's good to know, thank you! It just happens to be one of the few Peranakan dishes I know about, but would never have known if someone didn't tell me.

Actually bak mean "pork", instead of pork you can replace other meats. There is muslim resto selling bak kut teh ...but no pork. Chinese muslim restoran.😊👍

[@lizarahmat1118]

You both are such sweethearts. Your fans consist of both Muslims and non-Muslims. So no need to apologise when you are eating pork. You should feel free to eat whatever you want and you have fans who do eat pork so they would be curious about the food you are trying and reviewing 😊. That’s the lovely thing about people in Malaysia and Singapore (since I am from Singapore), no apologies needed. Just eat whatever that brings you joy! ❤

[@Athena3838]

Hi there you both! That’s very considerate of you but there’s no need to apologise. We appreciate your concern but Malaysians are very well adapted when it comes to different cultures and we respect each other which makes Malaysia such a unique country! We are deeply proud of the way we are! Re the ramen though, thanks for sharing your views with us. Personally, I’d rather give it a pass 😅

[@tlsia]

Top marks for diplomacy and the ability to find kind words. Usually, when the sum of its parts adds to nothing and fails to enhance anything - i.e. they are preferred separately - it's not a good combination. YMMV. Taste is individual. Businesses make their own choices and face the consequences. Wish them the best of luck with this...

[@ailisamohdishak2387]

It's okay I-Chang Jimmy San. You are both not Muslim, for you to think we may feel offended I for one none feel or think such. I thank you for being brave to try out something that is out of norm. Anyway, in Malaysia we have the savory halal version for durian. It's masak lemak tempoyak ikan patin. With cili padi & coconut some more😊. Another is sambal cili tempoyak ikan goreng. Who knows someone from your followers intelligent enough to create a halal version for Durian Ramen 😉 Did you manage to find out what type of durian the kitchen staff put in for durian ramen??

[@mohamadasyraf2254]

Dont wory about this.. We muslim like eating porridges durian with sticky rice or we name it " bubur pulut durian @ serawa durian".. 😁 Try find it.. Delicious🤤

[@totalrandom15]

I am very grossed out when seeing "durian ramen" 😅. But just like you said, we already had many dishes from durian especially ikan patin tempoyak and it is savoury. So that fact changed my mind quickly

[@alongshushu]

Personally i prefer durian as dessert like durian crepe,durian cake,ice cream,durian dodol, even cook with coconut milk n gula melaka..or just eat the durian itself...when it comes to savoury dish,i will enjoy and really loves everything that cooked with tempoyak(fermented durian)... But i have try durian mix with budu and eat with hot rice ..omg...thats so delicious...for durian ramen i can't imagine it...but food its subjective,if you don't like it,doesn't mean that anyone hate it too..some people will love the food ..😊

[@butcherhoe1983]

If you have not tried Kai Si Hor Fun (Shredded Chicken Noodle Soup), you need to try Ipoh Ipoh Kafe at SS2 Chow Yang, definitely one of the top ones in PJ and KL. Best to avoid lunch time due to lunch crowd on weekdays.

[@Kibbitz]

I guess that's why they use pork for their base? Maybe chicken is not strong enough and gets overwhelmed by the durian. Thank you for trying and letting us know what you think ^_^

[@ichangrm]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SiriusTheKid]

iChang the truth is most Malaysians are not so easily offended. those offended are mostly incited by politicians with baseless claims and ulterior motive. during the kampung times, some malaysians are still naive and believe without fact checking. nowadays with internet we know we are better than that. unity in diversity is something truly unique and we should cherish that.

[@bearybear66]

where im from, we have a lot of dishes make from durian.. durian soup (chicken, pork or fish), fry durian (prawn, anchovies or pork), durian cook with vegetables.. the most seek after delicacies durian flower (taste a bit like enoki mushrooms).. 😊

[@zulrasdibakar662]

Bubur kacang hijau with durian flesh also good combination too

Kudos to the Japanese chef who created this FUSION food, Durian Ramen. It is all about creativity, to develop new products, thinking outside the box, to increase clientele base of the eatery. Instead of cooking up a direct copy-cat version of a popular legendary dish like Char Kway Teow. Very obvious that lots of thoughts & hard work had been invested in the ultimate creation of this ramen. It is NOT a disrespect to local Malaysian culture.

Like you had said 'invented', it's cross breed between 2 culyture: Durian which have plenty in Malaysia and Ramen: which is from Japan. Blended them together, harmonized. Surprised, Ichang was not perturbed and feeling puke but remain steady, while eating durian ramen. Thumb ups. Thanks Ichang & Jimmy. God Bless.

[@eugenejustin5314]

If you want to try durian with noodles or ramens, just try maggi curry with tempoyak. It taste much better. But luckily, we can only get durian/tempoyak during it season.

[@ez22009]

By looking at Ichang reaction. There was no drama.. 😂.. but for me . I agree with Jimmy. Too much fusion creates headache 🤣. Eating this is like a brain challenge. Same like eating food from mini toilet bowl in Taiwan.. 😂

The stars has aligned for this occasion, here we have two Japanese who love durian and staying in Malaysia. Of course they are the perfect people when it comes to rate this invention. On other note, maybe we are just starting to uncover the hidden potential of Durian to become savory food and being added to almost anything...because let be honest, the taste is unique only to Durian
