We Were Told NOT TO COME Here In Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾 Malaysia

Jalan Alor is a good start for foreigners to try different varieties of Malaysian food(or Thai). We locals don't go there because we know where to get better food at cheaper price.

[@kogkogkogkog2157]

@@fidsjia8689 We'll be there by April. Which is better, Jalan Alor or Chinatown? Do they offer different types of food?

[@GobiSubramaniam]

If you were told not to go to a place by tourist agents, it is most likely because those people are paid (by certain business institutions) to bring tourists to places where these institutions have small and medium businesses going on. Places like above especially in Kuala Lumpur are actually safe places for tourists because it is in the heart of Malaysia (capital) and has at least 80 years of history behind them. The streets are old, the buildings are old and full of history and culture, the people there had been working there for decades and you can find a lot of things here which will define Malaysia. Also when in doubt, go to the nearest police station and ask them where are the best and safest place for tourists (especially those who are walking around alone).

'Paku choi' or in Malay called 'paku-pakis' is basically ferns or wild ferns. Usually the locals will just pick them from any nearby forest or some even from their own backyard, especially after it had rained because I'm told they're the freshest and the crunchiest. You can cook it in so many ways. Stir fried with belacan (shrimp paste), with garlic and oyster sauce but my favorite would be pickled paku choi. One can never starve along Alor lane because there's just too many eateries to choose from. Can't wait for your next food adventure video. Stay safe you two and sawatdeekrup 🙏

In Sarawak, East Malaysia, the local call it sayur midin and it's very-very popular there.

This is a must visit place for foodies and tourists when in KL. Its better to go for dinner and preferably after dark. Gone were the days where people used to accuse this place as a tourist slaughter house as nowadays most food stalls and restaurants will exhibit their menu and pricing upfront, and the stiff competition has stabilised the prices there too. Moreover, food operators now know the power of social media and are aware of the consequences if any foul play is applied. So go visit Jalan Alor the food haven street without fear or prejudice!

Haha, not gonna lie, I was one of those on the bandwagon of discouraging you guys from visiting Jalan Alor (opting for Pudu Wai Sek Kai instead) - not because it's bad per se but just because it might be a bit too tourist-y, with commensurate tourist prices - but it looks like you enjoyed yourselves, all is well 😊.

Jalan Alur is a tourist attraction and the food prices there are quite expensive compared to others. but hidden gems mostly outside the tourist attraction area. for me...

[@FloraandNote]

That’s what a lot of people said to us too .. but we did enjoy the food a lot there and didn’t find it outrageously expensive. I can see why locals wouldn’t be eating there every night though.

[@uncleanuar5979]

Too expensive for the local...

[@MeyyCat]

No doubt that Jalan Alor food is slightly more expensive compared to those where locals go. But they do have delicious and good food too. I think it's kinda convenient and affordable to tourists. And it's a happening place there. Some locals do go there sometimes.

[@OvDevilz]

It is not recommended for local food but they have lots of foods around Asia. Why its not recommended for local food? Well price wise for example, just take a look at how much it cost you for simple local snack of Pisang Goreng... then go to other places and compare the price. It not like the banana sold in Jalan Alor was from a farm that is not local, nor the butter was made of gold either, but the price difference is ridiculous. The vendor at Jalan Alor just raise the price taking advantage of tourist buying power. Yes it is OK considering location wise ONLY IF the rental for the stalls there was higher than other places but in reality, the rental cost difference is around 50% higher while their price is 300% higher.

[@karltraveldude7817]

Wow delicious , thank you ! Enjoy ...

[@hawaandroid2786]

Not that we told you not to go to Jalan Alor because the place is bad but rather the price charged there are tourist price. Hence a bit higher than other place that charge reasonable price.

I'd love one like those wings maybe on the back of my neck or shoulder but have yet to 'find' the perfect style similar to yours, although it's never been seen close up. I also have a kid's magazine image of bat wings in both skeletal and normal appearance, so I want one on the front shoulder, and one on the back of my shoulder to 'see' their contrast, think they'd be cool tats 'for me,' anyway. Also the vegetables you were both eating looked a little like fiddleheads, and we have them growing wild here in New Hampshire, USA and are tasty when very young sprouts and cooked properly.

Yeah you are right! At first I thought the vege was _kangkung_ (water spinach, which is different from spinach or _bayam_ that popeye loves so much!) so I was gonna say the dish was _kangkung goreng belacan_ (water spinach fried with fermented shrimp paste) But from the menu (and after looking at the dish again at 4k haha) the vege was clearly _pucuk paku_ (fern shoots) hence that dish was _pucuk paku goreng belacan_ (fern shoots fried with fermented shrimp paste) As for people from sarawak, they have a slightly different variation of the wild fern shoots, and they don't call them _pucuk paku_ either, but _midin_ and it's extremely popular there

This place mostly for tourist. Local seldom go unless one particular food they fancy. Fried durians started just a few years ago. Malaysian Durians are more flavourful, more aromatic and stronger in taste and smell. Unlike the Thai Monthong or Chaney which is light in flavour and not strong smell. Kaya is a local caramelized jam(not coconut) made from eggs, coconut milk, palm sugar mix and steamed with pandan leaves/juice for aromatics. You also have in Hatyai.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

They should know this fact: thais harvest their durian half ripe. We let them fall onto nets or ground. Eating matured durians is better than eating hard half ripe durians. Musang king - the best in the world.

[@YokeMeiNg]

Err ..hope you do not mind me correcting the info on the kaya jam. It is not just caramel. Authentic kaya actually has got coconut milk as one of its ingredients. But as usual the commercial/factory produced type will be using much lesser coconut milk (expensive) or not surprising, using artificial flavor instead. Having said so, there are still sellers (usually small businesses) that are passionate about cooking, that sell real good kaya.

You guys were very near to a burger stall at one end of jalan Alor, many youtubers went there for Malaysia's popular Ramly Burger which that stall (Burger Boss) known. Even if you order the most expensive ones they're not more than RM 10, very likely around RM 7- 8 per burger even at different places. Judging from the meal you guys had, there's no room for a burger for sure. For Chinese selections, you can go to ICC Pudu around 9am on weekdays, weekends are jam packed so don't go and majority of the stalls are closing anytime after 12 noon depends on whether they still have ingredients availability and you guys will be at home as Cantonese are mostly used.
