Would You Eat This Strange Malaysian Dessert? 🇲🇾

[@EllisWR]

What do we think are you a fan of the Tapai? Interesting one for sure 🇲🇾

[@jamaliahmohdjamil7259]

I love eat tapai ubi kayu ( fermented cassava/tapioca) just like that..Not mix with other stuff..

[@EllisWR]

@@jamaliahmohdjamil7259 ooo super interesting

I like if tapai is fried with flour coated batter..especially using new fermented tapai..warm, sweet and delicious.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thank u for this wonderful video n for showing your food exploratioms in KB.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Honestly, I like d original cendol, just d green jellies, coconut milk, palm sugar syrup n shaved ice, perhaps with sticky rice, not tapai pulut, d fermented sticky rice. Some cendol has additional toppings like ice cream, mango n durian, but I still enjoy d simple cendol.

[@EllisWR]

Thanks Yasin always

[@mfugazzi7698]

Ahhh ... cendol .. so refreshing ~`We got to type of "Tapai" 1) Tapai Ubi - is fermented Tapioca with yeast 2) Tapai Nasi - is fermented glutinious rice with yeast The yellow is "Tapai Ubi"

"Strange" is a word acceptable for a foreigner but life basically a challenge so if you don't try, you won't know but be prepared: there are always 2 sides of the coin and taste is relative to self.

[@EllisWR]

Yeah Abbas, we eat absolutely anything check out the channel. Love to try new flavours and this was super interesting

[@haslindamasud]

Tapai = fermented tapioca, so it's more sour, very slight sweet

The way you eat with your hand is correct. Its actually with your fingers. You scoop it with your 4 fingers and push it into your mouth with the back of your thumb. You don’t get your palm messy.

It's either fermented sticky rice or even fermented tapioca that usually parts of cendol. During durians season, there's also 'Cendol Durian' which is amongst the favourite.

[@EllisWR]

Cendol durian soon!

[@jamaliahmohdjamil7259]

There two types of tapai in Malaysia.. Tapai Ubi Kayu (Fermented Cassava/Tapioca) and Tapai Pulut ( Fermented Glutinous Rice).. In your cendol was Tapai Ubi Kayu... mostly and famous selling cendol around malaysia is cendol pulut (non fermented glutionous rice) rather than cendol tapai ubi kayu.

[@EllisWR]

Really appreciate the info

[@sultrys2291]

@@EllisWR I love both types of tapai. Put them in the refrigerator and eat them on its own during a hot day. It has very small amount of natural alcohol.

there are 2 types of Tapai ..1 made out of tapioca another is glutinous rice ..it can taste off abit or sour or alcoholic ..it is fermented ..the rice can sometimes taste like rice wine

[@andresloft]

The drinks: 1) Longan Drink is probably longan fruit pre-soaked in sugar and with added cane or normal sugar to the drink 2) Bird Nest Drink at such price probably does not contain any bird saliva per se (these are expensive) but substituted with some jelly bits called agar-agar instead. Not sure how they make the drink yellowish, probably the type of sugar used. 3) Air Mata Kucing is a drink with fruit similar to longan. In fact, they are of the same plant family if i’m not wrong and they taste similar. As a drink though, Air Mata Kucing is prepared with Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) and this sweetener gives the drink its dark colour. Some places sell this drink as Luo Han Guo drink as well, although it could also mean without Mata Kucing (which then the drink taste could be more plain sugary and less fruity taste)

[@zacharylim5028]

"air" (water) in Malay is not pronounced the same way as "air" in English. The right way to pronounce it would be ah-irr or ahyir with a more silent "h", so something like "ayir" instead.

[@zacharylim5028]

Fun fact, the lady who was manning the bird's nest store was saying in Hokkien to her colleague, "He knows how to speak (the Malay language)!"

[@zacharylim5028]

Second fun fact. The lady was speaking to the male colleague (most likely her husband or the owner of the stand) in Hokkien, but immediately switched to Cantonese to casually chat with (what I presume is) one of their regulars. After that, she switched to Mandarin to ask a new customer, "What do you want?". That is representative of the major Chinese dialects spoken in Malaysia.

[@EllisWR]

Thanks so much Zachary!

[@hplagt6880]

I like tapai made from glutinous rice. Very hard to find unless you make them yourself. Here in Sarawak, we ferment glutinous rice with 2 types of homemade 2 yeasts. Fermented longer than a month and you get rice wine called tuak. For consumption, we ferment with only 1 type of yeast just for a day and best eaten the next day...for me preferably chilled.

My self dislike tapai ubi kayu, but i like tapai pulut. Woww… now you can be considered as expert eating with hand but wash with soap after that okay. Ask the owner if the soap/liquid is not available, they suppose to provide. When you going back to uk, if you miss Msia foods you can go to portabello market in London, there is a Msian restaurant named makan. I been there once. The owner if not mistaken is from terengganu.
