PUDU为食街老字号 Best of Pudu Wai Sek Kai

Hi friends
For this episode I just concentrated on one particular area since I’m already running out of food to feature. I spent two evenings in the rain trying to catch up with one of KL’s oldest glutton lanes, some of them has existed for 4 generations. Please do your best to support these old businesses before they disappear. If you like this video, please share it and consider subscribing. Meanwhile do take care of yourself since the infection numbers has gone up again. Thanks and catch you in the next

[@mikhailmania3626]

Elmo don’t be disappointed with those negative comments, they are jealous as they can’t create a content as good as u. As a viewer I can feel your intentions to share good food and heritage is genuine, so just be yourself and continue your effort, which will be appreciated by all the supporters.

[@malaysiafood328]

Tis the best thing I heard all day. Thanks much

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks although my style is some small talk and history

[@andrewpang395]

@@malaysiafood328 excellent work and the effort you've been putting in your work is exemplary. I value and appreciate the historical background you incorporate as it becomes informative. That becomes crucial and endearing to understand your food documentary; and also, for us to go/seek these food stalls before they become extinct. Keep on feeding us, as you feed yourself first, haha. Kudos. TQ

I want to thank you for all your efforts and passion and your own funds to produce and upload your products! It is truly remarkable and inspirational!

[@corinachan8533]

Watching your video brings back tons of memories. Living in Seremban I used to drive to KL in the 1970s and 80s before even the highway was built. Each time passing by the Pudu jail and of course eating at many of the foodstalls. Having now lived in the UK for decades, the sight of you enjoying the countless varieties of food featured here makes me drivel no end.

[@malaysiafood328]

Yes George pudu is a much safer place now

[@berniejaw6552]

Hi Elmo, Im a big fan of your channel. I like because you are honest, you are not afraid sharing the negative feedback by subscribers (eg: already thumbs up before swallowing the food. Hahah). The Cantonese wording you use is funny & I like it. I respect the time and effort you put into research, and educate us on a particular area first, then only proceeding to the food. I am from KL and PJ, I have learnt so much from you. Keep the show going. Yes, you cant satisfy everyone, but we are all enjoying watching your channel.

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks Bernie nice words indeed

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks poh that's encouraging

[@jfj7452]

Honestly, your beautiful choice of words in Cantonese fascinates me. Grew up in KL, this journey certainly brings me down memory lane. Nostalgic. 1st saw your review of Pg & amazed with your spot-on opinions. (Yes, the RED char siew from the wanton stall is different! Agree & impressed with your honest comments.) Now here in Pg, we have the best hawker fare but I dearly miss my unforgettable Wai Sek Kai! ☘️ Some of the food there is a class above.

[@fireemblem8391]

Great video Elmo, please do not listen to those negative comments. I do love the introduction for each video highlighting the history of the food or the location. It really give a full package bout the food knowing how it came about etc. This is definitely your selling point

[@ooigsl]

Elmo, your program in one of the few that I always look forward to watching in KZbin. I find your videos both informative and interesting. Being a foodie myself, I always welcome new ideas and recommendations. As for the bunch of critics and complainers, I'd say that's their own opinions. Constructive criticism is fine. The rest of the detractors are a bunch of idiots. Just ignore them. Meanwhile, keep up the good work. Jia you.

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks for ur kind words, pls tell me how to view ur videos

Just keep churning these great videos , do not be disheartened by the negativity , like you said you cannot please everyone , hard truth is difficult to be accepted by some.

[@cheemengchoong]

Again thank you Elmo for a great episode on Pudu's Wai Saek Kai food stalls. The illustration made in the beginning is very applicable and you have said it as it is. I agree. Already- it has been very NOBLE of you to make this series and in turn, you are also helping out those food sellers ( I believed mostly would have a negative impact during these Covid 19 times on their businesses) to advertise and also to be made known to those who have not tried the food at those stalls / restaurants. I particularly gets a bit of "Deja Vu" viewing your videos and always have a pang of hunger after seeing all those nice, hot and delicious food illustrations. Thank you Elmo and continue to do these good videos. Also do remember to Stay Safe and Stay Healthy too !!!.

[@CalvinK300]

Fantastic video which brings back a lot of memories to me. Sek Yuen was my favourite dim sum breakfast place when I was a boy. There are many food stalls that I enjoyed around the area. My late father used to take me to an old ‘Shanghai sifu’ dentist on the 2nd floor along Wai Sek Kai. The herbal tea was also one nostalgic place for me as my dad used to force me to drink. The more bitter the better he used to say. Pudu jail was a terror as my parents never failed to scare me every time we drove past the main gate - “do bad things and you will end up here”. It was legendary where the notorious Botak Chin was incarcerated. Now it’s a mall? BTW at 0:56 you mentioned someone in Cantonese which translates to an “online pal” but the subtitle was a ‘jerk’. I wondered if you did that on purpose. 😂 Thank you Elmo for the history lesson as well. Until today, I never understand why that place was called “half jungle” but now I know. As a teenager, my friends and I used to go downtown and say go to ‘half jungle’ or ‘Lok Boh’. Anyway, congratulations to another great video and hope this will spur you on. Thanks!

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks Calvin that the video brought fond memories to u. As for the JERK bit it was done on purpose, guessed I was more polite in cantonese

[@choofuyen358]

Uncle Elmo. You missed the 2 tong sui tim beside the Wai sek Kai. Also there’s a great fishball noodle shop beside the corner herbal tea stall that opens in the morning.
