Taman Connaught Night Market is Malaysian Chinese version of night market which is the largest and selling mostly Malaysian Chinese, or Taiwanese/Chinese food. Meanwhile other night markets eg. Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (TAR) in the middle of Kuala Lumpur occurred every Saturday night mostly selling Malay or international (Japanese/Korean/Chinese/Indian/Thai) Halal food.

@@Postismus oh wow!!!! Thank you!!

[@animetoon9290]

One other thing, if you want to eat rice, usually local people use spoon, it's more easier than spork

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Thank you for letting us know! We have started using a spoon :)

[@mjo750]

Pandan is a leaf that's used as an aromatic addition in Malaysian cooking. It's also used in pastries, desserts, etc purely for its pleasant aroma. Think of it as an oriental vanilla.

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Thank you! That definitely helps!

[@leowheng9372]

Pandan leaves are cooked for the flavour then discarded. Pandanus is a genus that spans the equatorial forest up to the timber line , on it's way there they join the orchids as epiphytes. It's a palm by a long stretch , veluminous (orchid roots), silicaceous(cuts like grass). The one we use is the Pandanus amarili-something. 😉

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Oh wow! That is so interesting 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@nickxandar7720]

Generally, any food colored green are usually made with pandan extract/flavoring. It does have a distinct taste but mainly used for the aroma & color it adds in the use in cooking. Think of it like our equivalent to vanilla.

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

@@nickxandar7720 that makes so much sense!! It was just a very light and refreshing taste!

[@mercedeschan9369]

Enjoyed your video very much. Apam Balik is a staple that you would see in almost every market. There's actually two versions the thick version that you guys had and a thin crispy type. The filling is the same but tastes quite different. Both are nice in their own way. I recommend getting one with sweet corn and peanut instead of just peanut. Its arguably the most popular filling combination for apam balik. Regarding the mochi, the one you guys had is one that got recently popularised not really of a traditional style. Still nice tho. Petaling Street has an old lady that sells traditional mochi/muachi for many decades. The traditional style is not stuffed but covered in sugary peanut topping/crumble/coating. That market in Taman Connaught is a particularly large one, quite a good place to start as far as night markets go. Hope you guys have had a great time here. Cheers

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Oh really!! The traditional style sounds more to our taste to be honest, do you know that name of her stall? 🙏🏼

[@nickxandar7720]

In general, we normally buy food at the night market to go and have them at home with the whole family. Unless the stall provide seating or the food you bought is supposed to be finger/on the go food then eating at a night market can be a bit difficult 😅

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

That makes a lot of sense! We were so confused 😂😂

[@leowheng9372]

NickXandar said it all.👍 but if I may add the idea of the night market , weekly market is not to go there , but have it come to you. Ask around where you stay , for the one nearest and the next.

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

@@leowheng9372 thank you! We will check!

[@BoonLim-ef6yx]

Pandan is a plant which is fragrant ( can be classified as vanilla of South East Asia) Mostly used for cooking and dessert

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Is there anywhere we can go to try the flavour alone? So that we can better tell the taste when trying food in the future?

[@BoonLim-ef6yx]

@nomadfamilyjourney it's a leafy plant. Can get them at the supermarket or almost anywhere at residential landed home where local plant themselves. Flavour usually comes out after extract the juice from the leaves.

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

@@BoonLim-ef6yx okay! Thank you!

[@MalayMalaysia]

After this you try to go to the night market of the Malay majoriti neighbourhood. There you can try the typical Malay foods there. such as nasi kerabu, ayam percik and others.

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Oh that would be amazing!!! We will add it to our list!

[@chesterliew4360]

Welcome to Malaysia guys, randomly bump into your channel. Malaysia is well known for our street foods, hawkers foods. You will need to travel to Penang island for some seriously good local hawkers foods. Can’t wait to see where you guys exploring next, cheers

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Thank you!! Means a lot that you are enjoying the journey with us 🙏🏼 we will be around Penang towards the end of the year 🙏🏼

[@klloo5689]

Then you should drop by in Taiping in Perak state. It's famous for it's Lake Garden and also have the Commonwealth War Graves memorial, Taiping also has the most historical Firsts in Malaysia

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

@@klloo5689 oh wow sounds amazing! Thank you!

[@AxiJas]

I would have suggest you guys to go for a smaller night market for starters, the big and hectic ones are usually too much even for some locals that doesn't go that very often because some markets has too many varieties as well as these markets are known to changes over time quite quickly. Smaller markets are better start so you don't get overwhelm by too many unknown options/choices on top of very busy and fast pace crowd. Anyway, these night markets only some stalls has tables and chairs (usually those serving cooked noodles). Some items you can eat on the go and most you eat it at home. Its kinda impossible to try everything so don't be too stressed about it, just go for what you feel you feel like eating at that moment/what looks best to you/what pique your curiousity. The 2nd item you had is probably Pan Fried Dumpling and usually its filled with Pork/Chicken and some veges. Usually pandan is used to add a light aromatic flavouring to dishes, its not meant to be super strong flavour. I'm not sure also if they can be that strong in flavor (even if more concentrated) or will it taste good if it was done that way. The last item is called Apam Balik here locally, it was originated from China Fujian (Hokkien) and now it was localised/westernized/etc with different kinds of stuffings and flavourings and it is indeed one of the more popular local snacks.

[@xchaix]

we have a very expensive mango if you like to see and buy at Perlis State. The "Harummanis".

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

We will need to check it out!!

[@coolriffs.]

5:33 you missed the crab bun right in front of the guy in red t-shirt.. it is delicious 😅

[@shahromrashid7346]

The peanut pancake, ‘apam balik’ is even better eaten hot. Try it next time. Absolutely amazing!

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Its so YUMMY!!!!!!

[@xchaix]

our pasar malam or night market are just like that. no seating. quickly pop in and pop put. bring anything you buy to home. eat with families

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Sounds like a much better solution!! We love how family oriented KL is!

[@trickyrikki6823]

So yuuum .

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Sure was!!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Hope that you guys have had a good time exploring the pasar malam in KL.

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Yes we have had the best time!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@nomadfamilyjourney Wonderful. 😀

[@RunsingBagaiNakGila]

Since mango is ur fav fruit, u def must try Harumanis mango. The best mango in Msia, or even the world. Its only available in Perlis. Harum = Fragrant Manis = Sweet

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Oh wow! Where can we get these from?

[@afifshafizi9111]

Its out the season.. usually the season is march until end of may..u can try next season 😊

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

@@afifshafizi9111 thank you for letting us know!

[@nickloong]

Locals go to night markets for the excitement and atmosphere, coz the food there are actually not cheap compared to eating at a cafe or restaurants that have proper seatings and even air conditioning. They're so much more value for money compared to these night market stalls!😅😂

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Very good to know! So it more of just an activity rather then a part of your weekly routine? Makes a lot of sense! It was an amazing experience either way!!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Thanks for showing connaught night market. Longest in kl. Whatever you do, don't try stinky tofu.

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

😂 okay we will remember to stay away from it! Thank you!

[@abangabdulqadir3200]

[@nomadfamilyjourney]

Ooooo thank you!! 🙏🏼
