Hello sir I am Sohan I am from Bangladesh and you my favourite youtuber big fan love you brother ❤❤

[@hassanridzuan4533]

malacca is good place. historical and food hunting place in malaysia..😃

[@Ayayalover727]

Ipoh is also a great place

[@harizhashim8520]

If you love curry, a must try in Penang is the famous Nasi Kandar and my fav is Hameediyah one of the oldest restaurant of Nasi Kandar there.

[@kamrulz659]

You should go to langkawi, north of penang.its an island😂

[@randyrkowin24]

You should have your own tv show. Really dig your style on how friendly you are, polite, and positive. And yeah, welcome to my home, Penang!

[@BrentTimm]

Wow, thank you! That's such a nice compliment.

Ha Haa I can’t believed I watched the entire video…Awesomeness 🤘Welcome to Malaysia

[@saadansaid8337]

After penang, Malacca its Perfect to visit because its a historical city as well very delicious food. And nice desert too. Chendol

[@mr3111]

You said it right in the first place, Pinang is the original Malay name ( Pulau Pinang / Pinang Island). Penang is the Anglicised name of Pulau Pinang.

[@MagicalKid]

Normally people say it the anglicised way if they're just saying "Penang" and it's only when you add "Pulau" in front that it becomes "Pulau Pinang", just hearing Pinang sounds weird because it's a tree.

[@AnasSuhaimi]

@@MagicalKid It's only recently that "normally people say it the anglicised way". Up till the 80s most would still call it Pulau Pinang. Those who call it Penang are either Chinese or people who are mengada-ngada.

[@harizhashim8520]

Just saw Maliks video trying and going to Kg Baru Baazar and here I am seeing him in your video lol.

[@EGO0808]

The Aeroline bus goes directly from KLCC to Penang Queensbay mall on Penang island. So much easier than the train and on par or even more comfortable.

[@BrentTimm]

Thanks! I’ll take the aeroline back home!

[@LeoCooper-n2k]

Much better than business class train

[@roomyrumii]

You should really try eating the Nasi Kandar in Penang. It is very rare to find in other parts of the world and tastes the best in Penang. My family and I tried it for the first time and it was really good! You should give it a go!

[@BrentTimm]

Ok, I will try it tomorrow and make a vlog about it!

[@GNiz5]

Hi Brent, welcome to Penang! Firstly, stick to "Hello" or "Selamat Pagi (Good Morning)", "Selamat Petang (Good Afternoon)" or "Selamat Malam (Good Night)" when you are wishing anyone. The manner you greet people is - in Malaysia - reserved for Muslims and therefore can be a little sensitive to some people. Also you may wish Muslims a "Blessed Ramadan" rather than "Happy Ramadan". Georgetown, Penang is the second largest city in Malaysia and so we do have a lot of big chains - yes, Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, McDonald's - they are all here. Check out the Kek Lok Si Pagoda temple, go up Penang Hill (if you have time) and check out the seaviews (careful swimming in the sea as there may be jellyfish). In the Georgetown Heritage enclove, look out for the street art, enjoy the religious and cultural sites (you saw some already) and visit the clan jetties. Most of all, try out the food - thats what Penang is best known for. Enjoy and stay safe.

[@mikeovi]

Good Advice for this naive tourist to take note on the proper greetings here in Malaysia.

[@sophiehockey4071]

What a stupid comment. Greetings are not reserved for Muslims. In fact you should appreciate that Brent Trimm is respecting Islam and greeting in Arabic. We should encourage him. Not discourage him

[@ironmuzz]

Penang is dope. Home of Nasi Kandar & Cendol

[@rambutans5857]

Welcome to Penang!

[@AnasSuhaimi]

The cuttlefish used in Mi Sotong is the dried cuttlefish and then rehydrated with hot water. It's more flavourful that way. And it's not really Indian Muslim food, originally. Indian don't have noodles in their tradition. And they also don't have sambal, especially that kind of sambal. The noodle is chinese influence, the sambal sotong is Malay influence. I believe it's originally a Penang/Kedah Malay food, which as later sold by the Indian Muslim and became identic with them. Same case with Cendol. It's a Javanese desert originally, and later got picked up by the Indian Muslim. Now everyone think it's an Indian Muslim thing. The Indian Muslim they're from India, obviously, but the thing is, up till 1980s, many of them were still Indian nationals who would travel back and forth between Malaysia and their Indian homeland. They'd be here for 2 years, peddling food on the street, and then go home for a few months. Now, not all their street food in India would do well with the locals tastebud. So they'd pick up some local foods, give it a little twist, and sell it.

[@BrentTimm]

Wow, first off, thank you so much for sharing such a detailed explanation! This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for commenting, and I really hope I earned your subscription.

[@MaryjoPowers-b4b]

Do people get annoyed that you are filming? And what if they dont want to be in your vids? Any problems with that and how do you handle it? Thanks! So fun to watch!

[@BrentTimm]

The only place people seemed to get really upset or annoyed was Morocco. I truly can’t recall anybody telling me not to film or getting upset with me in the past four years.

[@imjuzsayin..5017]

You can go to a restaurant car back there which serves economy class too

[@BrentTimm]

This is great information!

[@jfatsnorlax]

Question, did you spend any time in KL at all, or did you immediately head towards Penang after arriving in KL from Singapore? I'm sure it makes for good content, and I've done this route for pleasure before, if you're looking to get from Singapore to Penang, or Penang to Singapore the fastest way possible, there are direct flights between Singapore Changi and Penang International Airport. The entire trip between Singapore to Georgetown will take you less time than it does to get from Singapore to KL city centre, because the Penang airport is much closer Georgetown than KLIA is to the KL city centre.

[@BrentTimm]

Hi! Thanks for watching and for your question. I spent 4 days in KL last year, and made a few vlogs. I will end my trip on KL, and will make more vlogs soon! I wanted to take the train and bus, so I could see the landscapes and make a vlog.

[@lealemon4856]

I am Penang local. U can check out chowrasta road. There is plenty of food street around there. Since u in that area already. U can try cendol, asam laksa, nasi dalca stall named rahim nasi dalca ( in little india). Art street around Armenian streets. And for other part further the other side or island u can travel to teluk bahang for Penang eco park.

[@ferdauzcool3416]

Happy gaining a few kg's in Penang my friend.. . After all png is the capital food paradise in Malaysia. I suggest for you to try Nasi kandar at hameediyah restaurant . Which is the oldest nasi kandar in malaysia. I promise you wont be dispointed.. 😊

Please tell me how to stay cool, dry, clean & fresh outdoors in the middle of the day. Don't tell me that I'll get used to it, don't tell me to stay in front of an air-conditioner, don't tell me to avoid going outside in the middle of the day! Thank you.
