文冬最正美食Best Bentong Foodie Haunts

Hi friends
For this episode I’ll be venturing to a state which I have never done a feature for, that’s Bentong of Pahang. Since most of my previous features on tin mining town were well received, I thought the prior Taiping episode should follow suit. Unfortunately there’s no fixed format to get good viewership, if there was a winning formula, then I haven’t nailed it yet. I hope you will enjoy this episode as much as I had worked on it. Meanwhile please go out to support the local street food, be it in Bentong or otherwise. Thank you and hope to catch you in the next.

I grew up in Bentong but now reside overseas. For nostalgia reasons I viewed all the available vids on Bentong; from the bottom of my heart, your vid on Bentong is the best. Thank you.

Thanks hope u enjoyed bentong

Thanks for another excellent KZbin video, Elmo. Yes, the old road to Kuantan passed through Bentong and that stretch was particularly treacherous. I have witnessed many lumber lorries falling into the ravines. Fellow lorry drivers will offer incense joss sticks by the roadside before carrying on with their own loads. The current Karak Highway is well known to be an accident zone but old timers will remember those truly unforgiving corners with steep drop offs.

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks Calvin for ur insights

New subscriber here. Love the content of yr vdos especially when you travel to less frequented places and talk about the history of people and places, the food and stall owners. I appreciate the work you put into these videos, providing a lot of interesting information, great filming and editing 👍👍🙏🙏. Happy Malaysia is open again 💕💕

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks for ur support Minnie

[@seechunchong9876]

Many years ago I drove to Bentong for "look see" (and visiting the famous beautiful Chermang waterfall), without knowing where to eat etc. and I ended up buying a "Chim Pan" (solid wood chopping block) in Bentong. 🤣🤣🤣 Now thanks for your video, I know where to try good food. Keep up the good work, Cheers.

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks Chong didn't know they have nice chopping boards too

[@gracelay05]

thank you for sharing..........nice nice!

[@johnchong5774]

Honestly speaking, as a Pahang boy myself, not many places in the state I am familiar with, to say nothing of delicacies available in each district, perhaps the only exception is my home town. Thanks Elmo for providing such an useful and interesting information for a "glutton" as I am. The only problem is, to drive to any of the places that you have mentioned in this footage can be more painstaking than for me to travel all the way down or up to other places in peninsula, due to the size of the state.

[@yuenhongliew591]

Nice, didn't know Kok Hing Chicken rice is good. Must try next time when I am back. Bentong wantan mee almost every stall also quite good. Thanks Elmo for the recommendations.

Great to revised history of Malaya which I believe is not being thought in schools nowadays!! Funny apart for your postings , the last time I learnt more about the ‘ real ‘ development of Malaya was from Singapore Museum!! Lucky you to have such a good buddy of shared interest!!

I would share the same view on buying durian while using my wife's car ....... better not ... the consequences may be not well tolerated !!! Thank you Elmo again for a nice episode to introduce both the local delicacies and food of Bentong.

在中国广西人都说广府话或者 白话。没有人称广西广府话为 广西话，只有马来西亚华人称 广西话。广东和广西同一家。只是广西广府话家乡音比较重。以前在马来西亚的华人对遥远的中国地理有点模糊，不能正确分别出真正地理位置和。认为广东人讲广东话，广西人讲广西话。

In GE13, I volunteered for some NGO to help distribute materials to Pakatan team in East Coast and stay one night at Bentung. The hotel was very scary, got 👻, but the food was awesome. I think u miss out some traditional hotspot that sell leung tofu in Kg Baru. And also got one ice cream shop in the town that made homemade ice cream.

但是蒙闰荣说的实在桂林广西話

[@chung97359]

其实没有什么正宗不正宗。我在广西也有很多亲戚，他们也是说白话白话沟通，只是有些细节的说法和音调有些不同。表达的意思上大概相同。粤语目前全球一共有超过1亿人在使用着，地域广阔，不同地方的粤语也有不同特色，不能说谁的最正宗。我觉得这是对很多地方的不尊重！
