[@azaimbaha]

Great video again n again, thanks for sharing. 10:36 Lemon grass = Serai, 10:43 Curry leaves = Daun Kari, for masak (cooking) not "massage", 10:55 Petai = stinky bean, 12:18 Jering = Nettle, Do come back to Malaysia. Your contents as a whole are unique... unlike most KZbinrs'.

[@kwask6062]

The people in both Sabah and Sarawak are generally very friendly

[@bernadettelee1101]

11:49 pansoh means 竹筒饭... haha~ very interesting to watch how you communicated with the locals, this makes me wonder how my grandpa communicated with the locals when he first came to nanyang...

[@Traisoon]

Very good la bro. 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@JGS2024]

😂😂😂I adored the misunderstandings. This is real traveling, guys. Could someone “Masak” my leg , please? Lol

[@n_susana6803]

I suddenly saw my husband in this video @ 14:30 (the guy with dark shirt) asking if "you are from Korea?" 😊😊😊 I myself is a Chinese but taken care by a Malay. family since baby. 😊 Hope you really enjoy your stay in Kuching Sarawak.

[@jcjwong]

Wow . Thank you for visiting Sarawak. My home. If ever you're heading this way again contact us .. just anyone in the comment section. i am sure there will be more than a dozen people willing to share with you the beauty of Sarawak. esp . the hospitality.

[@faliq8]

The beauty of the people of Sarawak. Most of them can converse in English.

[@ryzalchung8976]

The tropical weather in Malaysia one of the reason why our fruits taste delicious. Also the soils that rich with substances for trees to grow. Here in Borneo Island you can find the tallest tropical tree in the world located at Maliau Basin, Sabah (formerly known as North Borneo). Both Sabah & Sarawak have the most indigenous & ethnic groups in Malaysia. 28 indigenous group found in Sarawak, and about 43 ethnic groups found in Sabah. Malaysia in a Muslim country, but the majority of people living in East (Borneo) Malaysia are Christians. And every year both states celebrating their harvest festival. Kaamatan Harvest Festival is celebrated in Sabah on the 30th & 31st May, Gawai Harvest Festival celebrated in Sarawak on the 1st & 2nd June every year.

Sabahans r warm and friendly, they have Graciousness of heart

[@ryzalchung8976]

[@KomengDeBatiste]

I'm from Brunei but I have many cousins living in Kuching -- it is a GREAT city for foodies!

[@petervanmunnen7541]

Wow Yan! This is amazing. I remember meeting you in Iran a couple of months ago, when you just started you channel and had about 12 views on your videos. Great to see you have travelled so far! And i see that thousands of people are enjoying following you. Have a great trip!

[@mln7771]

So many exotic fruits and foods and the people are friendly. Thank you for sharing. I must visit Malaysia.

[@AnnaBell033]

thank you for sharing the fruit and the cautionary statement! love your videos!!

[@EugenieTan]

10:37 - yes she's tying up the lemongrass in bundles. 10:45 - curry leaves, used for cooking curry and add aroma to some dishes eg. butter prawns, oatmeal prawns/chicken, salted egg seafood/chicken

[@julianawong2169]

The red turtle is a dessert known as “angku” with green bean paste. During a baby full- moon, if the parents gifted you with a red round angku, they have a boy. If a girl, then it is the same red turtle you were eating. That “looks so strange” is a vegetable. That “flower/fern” is midin or pucuk paku or fiddlehead fern. That “black snail’ is balitung. “Long gall” is curry leaves. The lemang (coconut glutinous rice) which uncle gave you to try is popular during Hari Raya Puasa. The bamboo shoots which the girl told you is for cooking chicken is also use for grilling lemang over an open fire. Both ketupat and lemang are eaten with rendang. That Mexican hat is piping hot. Glad you tried the various food at the market.

[@ukchub6633]

You dont need to describe,she original from China, all chinese food and stuff you knoe from kiching or MLaysia or even everywhere else related in Chinese she knows more than you haha, thats why she call it red turtle because originally from china lol, i feel embarrassed... come on 😂😂😂

[@carlkkguy]

​@@ukchub6633she is from Anhui, she may not have been to Guangdong or Fujian. With the vastness of China, she couldn't have known all the Chinese local dishes.

[@adamtam4444]

Great video with pleasant presentation showing the local food culture. Two thumbs up and keep up with the good work.

[@MojoZ20]

Mexican hat pastry 🇲🇽 thats soooo funny 😂... Looks like i just learnt new local food item thanks to you, amoi 😘...cheers

[@Zerpentsa6598]

Actually, a lot of the tropical fruits are also found in Yunnan and Hainan, far from Anhui. China is also very diverse and full of pleasant surprises, even to Chinese.

[@pchen291]

I feel so homesick at the same time happy to see you enjoying my former hometown as I have migrated to Australia . I have not been home over 2 years now because of covid but I am going back in May next year . Thank you for the presentation

[@kohwong750]

Hi Yan, you should visit the northern part of Sarawak too. The prehistoric Niah cave in Niah National Park where the birds nest are harvested by climbing bamboo poles. Then the Mulu National Park, where you find one of the biggest caves in the world. One of the wonders of the world. Cheers

[@azulahuang3154]

That big banana is called plantain or cooking banana. As the name implies, you cannot eat it raw. It tastes a bit tart. Usually we cut it into 1cm thick slices without peeling the skin and steam for 3 to 5 minutes. Another way of cooking is to pan fry this pisang tanduk slices on banana leaf.

[@kwask6062]

I am Singaporean and have traveled often to Sabah and Sarawak

[@loribaca9065]

You're so very brave trying the different foods.

[@peapod1217]

The fern is called "midin". It's really delicious stir-fried with garlic or with belacan (shrimp paste). Can also be made into a pickled salad with shallots and chilli.

[@EugenieTan]

I love this vege dish, be it cooked or made as a cold dish

[@H.Witcher]

It's also known as the "4 face bean" outside of Malaysia.

[@gracelim2336]

@@H.Witcher Star vegge sounds better than 4face.

[@eltonkam5747]

It is anazing that you went to Sarawak and even tried durian. You are more educated on S.E. Asia than 99.99% of Chinese in China who are not interested in ethnic Chinese people living outside China. You did an excellent job. What is sad is that most Chinese in China are not interested in ethnic Chinese living in other parts of Asia. I have watched other travel videos of yours too. Good job!

[@kcridx]

Oh my goodness! I just started following your channel and what a truly stunning surprise to find that you visited my hometown of Kuching fairly recently. Thank you again for your wonderfully presented vlog like all your other vlogs!

[@Tampin111]

The green fruit with sparely blunt spike is called sour sop The fruit is sweet with some sour taste. According to health magazine sour sop has extremely high anti oxidant & claimed to be a cancer cells killer

[@hplagt6880]

Hi welcome to my hometown. The pink flower is called ginger torch. The last greyish fruit is a cousin of the the stinky beans. They are called jengkol beans. Those cakes are called kek(cake) lapis(layered) our iconic Sarawak cakes. The round snack is called penyiaram..its made with flour, rice flour and palm sugar. You should try our famous kolo mee, Sarawak laksa, Kueh Chap to name a few. If you want to know more about Sarawak culture, you should visit our Sarawak Culture Museum which is the biggest museum in Malaysia and the 2nd biggest in South East Asia.

[@voonjanted5043]

Good introduction!

[@son_60han]

8:16 snake fruit = salak 10:56 stink bean = petai , u can eat it raw , or grilled, best used for chili shrimp

[@alfredting1794]

they chop the chicken into small pieces and put it inside the bamboo. add a bit of salt and pepper. seal the bamboo with some edible leaves and cook over a slow charcoal fire for up to one hour. Then pour out chicken with soup and leaves. Eat everything and enjoy.

[@PeterSzeto-es6em]

Some of the fruits were exotic indeed! And the people were engaging and friendly. All in all, a lovely video.

[@fungus70]

Haha...you always only buy 1 piece of what you want to try 😂 I think some of the sellers just oblige you. Anyway, I enjoy watching your videos. Love your style of relaxed presentation.

When eating tropical fruits, try to avoid touching their skins. Remove them if you can before feeding them into your mouth. Those skins have liquids that may burn your lips or mouth. I would not consider that as allergic though.

[@ftd7435]

Hi Yan ... at 10.11, thatz banana flowers. Can be cooked as a food in soup.

Borneo has many exotic fruits because they preserve their jungles. we call the durian like thorny fruit 'guyabano' here in the philipines. it is sour and sweet. the round jackfruit like fruit, we call it 'marang' . it is very sweet hehe. for the breadfruit, we cook it thendip it with a coconut sugar candy(syrup) because the taste a little bland but filling to eat because you can eat it with big bites
