I was a nomad freelancer for 3 years 2011-2014, and then last year I went on to travel for another year in SE Asia. I have watched tons of travel videos and I need to say... They're pretty much all insufferably pretentious with the same editing style and music, and focusing on their maker's faces. Your videos are a breath of fresh air, simple, genuine, informative and I think you're just an endearing bloke with whom travelers like me probably have a lot in common. Cheers!
Romain Gauthier I agree that this vlog are genuine, anyway beside this channel there’s a couple from the states traveling in malaysia and I like their vlogs too, channel called ‘the other side’
A damn, thank you so much. I love seeing comments like this. I think it's harder to grow an audience when you're just being yourself and not acting to the camera. Thank you for watching my videos, really appreciate it.
I think rm20 is quite possible in KL.. But need to be extra careful in what you spend & which places you go of course.. Breakfast Nasi Lemak - basic rm2.. Tea tarik - 1:80 =rm3.80 Lunch : Noodles or Mee hoon Sup or nasi lemak with chicken : rm 5.00 Warm Water : 0.20 =rm5. 20 Dinner Nasi goreng rm6.00 Plain water : rm0.20 =rm6.20 So for meals 3.80+5.20+6.20 = rm15. 20 The balance rm4. 80 is for moving around a bit..
20 ringgit a day? EASY! Go to a supermarket and look for the cooked food section. You can get meals for 3 ringgit a plate but you cant be picky. Simple stuff like fried noodles. You can even get a whole deep fried chicken leg quarter for 5 ringgit in there. You could split it and have the drumstick for lunch and thigh for dinner. For breakfast you can get some buns for a ringgit each. Sometimes sold in morning markets. They usually have some homemade buns or cakes for breakfast. 1-2 ringgit a piece. To save more, drink water ahaha. To save even more, drink water from the river of life 😂
Hah going to supermarkets and convieience stores is too easy, need something to be challenging but yes, drink more water and walk more would probably make this challenge more easier!
It’s so humbling to see a guest like yourself really love, enjoy and appreciate what we have right under our nose, yet we don’t really show our gratitude for all these. Thanks for bringing out the beauty of our place. Your video is genuine and sincere. 🌹
Thank you for watching and the nice comment! It's true - Im the same in my home city, I don't appreciate it and don't explore it enough when Im back home. We're all guilty of that.
Darren, The Old KL area that you went to in this video is my favourite. I think that's the essence of Kuala Lumpur. Love the colonial/moorish/Islamic architectures. This place is underrated. A nice place to stroll along the city.
You can do this route for a full day KL city walk - China town-Pasar Seni/Central mkt-Masjid Jamek-Dataran merdeka-then walk along Jalan Tuanku Abd Rahman-Masjid India-then take shortcuts to reach the Twin Towers -> Jln Dang Wangi-Jln Sultan Ismail-Jalan Ampang-Petronas Twin Towers. Have a break. Walk through the KLCC Park n to Bukit Bintang area. That’s almost all of KL centre.
Most office towers have a lunch room where, quite often, vendors serve up small tasty meals. Finding Nasi Lemak for RM3 should be possible. Go out of the city and it will be 1.5 to 2RM.
Darren : Challenge 5$ a day in Malaysia. Me : Now this would be interesting Darren : 'Proceed to go to Mamat Restaurant' Me : Now that's just cheating.
Good try. Now here is my suggestion: For breakfast, look for chinese vegetarian restaurant that have a green sign, you can have a rice with 3 dishes for just RM2 with free flow of plain water. There's a lot of them around KL and Selangor, the sign that mentioned RM2 is in Chinese so just look for the big number 2 if you can't read Chinese 😁. For lunch, head to Dharma Real Guan Yin Sagely Monastery at Jalan Ampang, near Petronas Towers, just 5 minutes walk from KLCC. They have a canteen at the back offering delicious vegetarian buffet at reasonable price, open at around 11AM to 2PM. For dinner, you will have a lot of options because you have quite a lot of balance left from those 2 meals and now you can choose what you want. Try again.
That's why I am suggesting the place as well. I think rice plus 3 dishes for RM2 is quite reasonable and full plate of rice with dishes at the monastery is about RM7 - RM12 depending on what you are having but those two places are relatively cheaper compared to other places with the same portions. And we are talking about KL city and Selangor town. Kampung Baru is a good place for cheap and tasty variation too but comparing the portions, still is a bit pricey. Nasi Lemak for example, you can get the basic (rice, sambal, anchovies, cucumber, boiled egg - quarter) for RM2 but you need to pay extra for additional dishes. You can get RM1.50 Nasi Lemak but the potion is less satisfying. And that's only the food where some places even charge 20cents for plain water. 😓
@@OvDevilz I just had Classic Nasi lemak with side order, one piece chicken at Sugar Bun and it set me back by RM11.45 (without drinks). Classic comes without the 🐔) 👍👍 on your recommendations
@@remotedarren u should try Taman Kajang Prima hakka noodles (located same row with Rest 1 Mamak, last corner shop) for breakfast , lunch at Semenyih (leng leng pork noodle) and dinner at Kajang satay (willy food court). thats what locals do here..
It's pronounced more like Roti Chennai. But instead of Che, it's Cha like cha-cha, and then Nai. Cha-nai. Air mata kucing is longan water. Kinda like a tea that's been boiled with longan. It's sweet. The Malays call the fruit "cat's eye" (mata kucing) but the Chinese call it dragon's eye (longan).
RM20 for the whole day is quite tough especially in KL but it can be done Darren if you know where to go.. try Kg. Baru or Brickfields.. there should be no problem if it's outside the city like Kajang, Selayang or Kg. Pandan. Anyway, nice day Darren with your USD5😩
It's not just a naan bread, it's a CHEESE naan! Everything went double once you add cheese in KL. I'll go for just naan (or naan biasa as we called it here).
I think dinner as well. You could get a better filling dinner like potato bun (big size) for RM3+. When I'm on very tight budget, I just get a whole grain slice bread (Gardenia) cost just over RM3. It will get me through the day (sometimes for dinner as well). And don't buy a drink at convenient store, get it at local grocery store. It's cheaper.
USD 5 can last you 2 days easily if you went into state of Kelantan of Tumpat district for example. 0.48 dollar for a pack of decent chicken rice for breakfast if you buy it from some local stall, though 0.72 dollar for a pack of that chicken rice is common price. That's how cheap food here compared with cities like KL.
It is cheaper in malaysia when you are from europe.. if you are a malaysian, live in malaysia, paid about rm1500/month with family.. i bet you will eat instant noodle everyday.. huhuuhu
Remote Darren Cool and yeah it's getting funnier right now because I'm the host of the challenge but me myself don't even know where to get these stuffs 😅 So I suggest you could go to the restaurant that offer you nasi lemak with a lot choices of sambal, korean restaurant "basically noodles are the spiciest one". but I know one thing where you rly can have on of this challenge, go to Seven Eleven and bought "Korean spicy ramen" it's seriously damn spicy but you have to cook it yourself. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED?
@@remotedarren goo.gl/maps/cn6vPbnrUyV2JN1v8, try this is at Chow Kit area which is within the city. Famous spicy noodle. They will give you a bowl of chili paste so you can adjust the spiciest to your liking.
Hello Mr Darren .... West 🇲🇾 is much cheaper than in East 🇲🇾 .... I'm living in East 🇲🇾, so I knew .... anyway, please come to East 🇲🇾 especially to Sabah @ Land Below The Wind, enjoy the magnificient Mount Kinabalu, beaches, islands & Desa Dairy Farm .... ⚘🇲🇾⚘
Lake garden, maxwell hill, first museum and zoo in malaysia, doli koew teow and the list go on. the best part is they're all in short walking distance to each other.
You choose the cheapest meals at isolated areas. It does not reflect actual living cost here. RM20 is only sufficient for one simple meal at hawker stall at shopping center.
Yeah! If you stay 1 day around Kg Baru, you can survive with that RM20.00 Breakfast Roti canai + teh Tarik just RM4.00. Don't eat at Nasi Kandar Restaurant. The price slightly higher. Lunch with Nasi Campur ( rice + any curry + mineral water ) = RM6.00 High Tea, don't go to Nasi Kandar Restaurant ( Roti telur + sky juice ) = RM 3.00 Dinner at any Malay Thai restaurant ( Nasi goreng kampung / Kueyteow goreng / mee goreng + hot tea ) = RM7.00 Total RM20.00
Great! New Video... hope you are enjoying your time in Malaysia. It is almost Monsoon season (frequently heavy raining), especially the East Coast of Peninsula, take care Sir.
Thank you. Yes, raining here in KL late afternoon and evening, but I'm usually working. Really want to get to the East coast but will wait until early next month.
It is possible to do a day in KL with RM20 given you are willing to walk up to 25 minutes from Pasar Seni. Breakfast: 2 pieces of Roti Canai + Teh Tarik at Mansion Tea Stall for about RM4 Lunch: Thali set at ABC Bistro Cafe, Brickfields for RM6. This complete vegetarian meal comes with soup and a desert. You can just drink plain water because the meal is so filling. Dinner: Splurge at KFC with 1-pc Rice Plate for RM8.60 in Nu Sentral. These places are walkable from Pasar Seni.
Nak seribu daya ... Rm20 a day. Can do la. If you seek Mcd for lunch, burger king for dinner sure not enough. Here one example. On breakfast, don't take light meal like roti canai, but take a little bit heavy, nasi lemak or bihun goreng. Aim to make you survive through lunch without meal. For lunch, just eat fruit slices and plenty of water. Wait until around 5-6, then dig for your dinner. Heavy one. Make sure with plenty of vegetables cause vegetables is going to make satiety until sleep time. If you still hungry after dark, have another fruit slice that you bought earlier. Breakfast RM 5, Fruit slices RM3. Dinner RM7-8, Fruit Slice RM3. Total RM18-19. Easy peasy.
Masih boleh survive.rm20 seorang tu banyak lagi. Pagi klu tak ambil nasi lemak ambil bun @ roti paling mahal rm3. Tengah hari tu nasi ayam set atau makanan tepi jalan noodles soup paling mahal pun dlm rm7. Malam ambil burger rm5-7. Masih ada balance untuk buah. Rm20 at kl untuk makanan tu tak de masalah. Klu rm10 sehari tu makanan choice lagi limit la tu.
Three years ago I was working in a remote area 64 km (40 miles) away from where I live. I travelled daily by motorbike to start work at 8.30 a.m. I use to stop by at a small coffee shop for breakfast. I have 5 pieces kuih muih (curry puffs and pastries) for RM 1.50 and a glass of hot nescafe for RM1.00. I also buy 2 sizeable pkts. of Nasi Lemak @ RM1.00 each for my lunch. I have my bottled drinking water at my workplace which cost RM1.50 for a 1.5 litres. So my breakfast cost me RM2.50 and my lunch cost me RN2.00, Drinking water for the day RM3.00. After work as I head back home I stop at a restaurant and have my dinner of Nasi Campur (Mixed Rice) which cost me RM4.00 and a RM1.00 hot nescafe to keep me alert for my 64 kms motorbike ride back home. All in it costs me RM 2.50 + 2.00 + 3.00 + 5.00 = RM12.50. Daily petrol cost was another ,RM6.00 for the trip to and fro. My pay was RM 3,500.00 per month, enough for a retiree having his own house and none to support. Costs aside the travelling was a thrill daily. I use to see some animals including snakes, a variety of monkeys including the scary berok specie that moves alone or with just a mate. Afte some time it becomes a routine and the excitement is lost.
Danial Muhamad just Supervisor at a large modern Palm Oil Mill Complex construction site in a remote area.was in charge of daily report of work done as well. The daily travelling from office to worksite was through damaged tarred roads and laterite roads as well as red earth roads. When it rains, the bike is completely covered with red earth. Bike gets daily power jet wash after reaching the office/factory site in town.
5 pcs kuih for RM1.50! Which area was that? It was RM2 for 5 pcs at my place back then but now it's for 4 pcs only. Nasi campur for RM4 is pretty rare. Nasi + ayam + sayur normally cost me RM6-7.
Mohd K, it is a small Kg. Cowboy town. I was surprised myself, the very first time I ate there. Imagine Nescafe at RM1.00 when at other places, it was priced at not less than RM1.50. The customers who "lepaked" there too were very friendly. Besides the food cooked daily was not in huge quantities and so you get the home cooked flavour with good taste. No gimmicks. I enjoyed the rural setting and the way people went about their daily work activities. Of course the price of Kuih is 5 pcs. for RM2.00 in my town. When long ago, the price of chicken satay in my town was RM0.25 per stick, it was selling at Bukit Mertajam town for RM 0.20 per stick. I am an old timer, so everytime the price increases a little I am more aware of it. In the early 70's, kuih was only 5 sen, Nasi Lemak was 10 sen and Ice Kacang (ABC) was ten sen. Light Milk tea was 20 sen per one litre bottle. If you want Thicker Milk Tea, it was 30 sen per one litre bottle.
For RM20, you can get Breakfast: 2 pieces Roti Canai + Milk Tea = RM4.50 Lunch: Chinese Economy Rice (1 Meat, 1 Vege, 1 Tofu/Egg) + Iced Chinese Tea = RM8 Dinner: Mamak Stir Fried Noodle / Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken + Iced Water = RM7.50 Hang around Lake Garden, Bird Park, Police Museum for free and when it rains in the afternoon, just take the free GoKL Bus, and go hangout in KLCC Shopping Mall.
WOW. Good title.one japanese channel challenge RM 5 a day in Kuala Lumpur just for food. Your challenge more meaningful because included with transportation. For 5 ringgit, you can eat macdonald nasi lemak rice only, roti canai and go for a night market you can cheapest food. The reason you are over spent because you pay for transport. Your challenge actually was considered successful and 7 ringgit for a mee is little bit expensive, I recommend you to eat mixed rice with 1 dish. I think that can cost you only 3 ringgit.
Well! I think the more appropriate and precise title of the video should have been: 'Could' I SURVIVE Living on 'U.S.' $5 DOLLARS a DAY in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia? Just delete the word 'Did' and replaced it with 'Could'. Then add it up with the word 'U.S.' in capital letters in between the two words, 'on' and '$5' . That's all! Please do correct me if I'm wrong!
You can literally have a feast with RM 20 at any MAMAK restaurant. If you doing this again have your breakfast/lunch/dinner at any MAMAK restaurant I recommend Ali-Maju.
Yes of course you could. Get water and roti canai kosong for breakfast = RM2 Nasi Campur and water = RM8 for lunch, Nasi Goreng Kampung = RM5 Balance for transport
If you go to sibu, sarawak.. East malaysia actually.. For RM20 you can treat 2 or 3 of your friend... Mee kampua just rm2.50..ming tai peng (teh without sugar) rm0.50 per glass...
In the morning get the your Nasi Lemak from the road side stalls (Rm 5-6). Lunch go to the Chinese coffee shop and have Chicken Rice or Noodles (Rm 6-7). Dinner get a Ramly Burger from a roadside stall (Rm 5-6). Drink at the coffee shop or mamak,Rm 2. Total=RM 20!
It would be nice if u come to Pulau Pinang (Penang)..there is a lot of food in here.. and try to survive😝 probably it is hard not only in Penang because in malaysia we have a lot of delicious and unique taste of food..😂😭😭a multicultural country with many types of food..
Many of the tourists love to visit Batu Caves. But if you wish to have cheap but delicious/variety of food, it's a 500 metres walk from Batu Caves to Seri Gombak. There is a Yellow State Free Bus - one every hour, after 5 minutes - press the button to stop at Taman Sri Gombak - but it's better you tell the driver where you want to stop. You can use Grab (the Malaysian Uber version) - I think it's about RM7.00 to RM8.00. Look for the row of stalls - a mix of Malay, Indian (pure Indian), Mamak and Chinese... (along Jalan SG 1/8) - there are more actually but I leave that to you guys to explore.
you can go to lrt Ampang park exit to G Tower at noon for lunch you can buy nasi ayam or nasi tomato set with rm6. others vendor also have. for breakfast just find variety streets food vendors at outside masjid jamik station about 8 am.
Hey, I am at the other side of KL, so, getting there that early will be a challenge, but need to find a local Nasi Lemak roadside stall where I am, love it.
Accually u can survive with rm 20 in kuala lumpur. Mrng brast take roti canai 2 pieces cost about rm2. 40, tea bout rm2.00. Lunch take nasi kukus its ony cost bout rm 6.00 and dinner u can take some light food like noodles cost rm7. 50. Total : rm 17.90 ony 😊
For rm20, you got to go hawker stalls. Breakfast like mee goreng, nasi goreng, kwetiau goreng & plain nasi lemak you can get around rm4 (plate full + egg if your are lucky) or less + the tarik rm2 or less. Then you would have around rm14+ left. Average of rm7 for lunch / dinner or you choose to have heavy lunch & light dinner or visa versa. Lunch on precooked food in Malay stalls normally cheaper then specially cooked hot dinner. Normally we don't have precooked dinner because it would be quite stale already by then. Nan is more expensive as compared to plane roti canai but more filling. With rm20 you can NOT go extravagant like having cheese or garlic nan. Just plain nan & plain water or teh o only. No milky dirink too. Got it?
For RM 20 a day you can have roti canai or a plain packet of nasi lemak & pulling tea for breakfast, a wanton noodle soup /dry incl sliced BBQ pork & wanton for lunch & a Ramly beef /chicken burger for dinner. Save up on the drinks just buy a bottle of mineral water for RM1. 50 you might still have balance there.
Pronunciation tips. Say the word as it sounds when you read the alphabets. A = ah, B = bh, C = ch, thus canai is 'cha-nigh'. Kandar = k (kh) a (ah) n (nasal n) d (dah) a (ah) r (rah) = kan-dhar, kan as in (khan minus the h), similarly Lumpur = Lum (l = leh, u = u, m = mm) as in 'loom', pur (p = peh, u = uh, r = rah) as in 'poo-r'. No offense, I love this channel, would love to see more from you :)
Kelana jaya Line is the most exspensive ticket among all others train, LRT which is the most cheapest you can get.exp: Sentul Timur/Ampang Line/ Putra heights Line
Breakfast with roti canai n teh tarik or rm1 nasi lemak at a Malay or Mamak shop. Lunch nasi campur at stall nearby offices, n dinner at Malay or Mamak shop with the balance. Anybody can survive with rm20 in KL. Cool right?
Yes, Darren, you should just have a toast or 2 at home before you set off. Then as for drinks, boiled tap water, freeze a quarter and fill the big bottle with fridge cold water to carry around where ever you go, saving money and healthy, esp for your diabetes. You should meet your target then. But don't do it everyday. Treat yourself as well another day. Not saying you can't afford eat out all the time, surely you can. Again lovely video showing KL. Capital city is usually more expensive than smaller places. Still, well done.
I'm not sure whether you've been to these 2 places......anyway, have you been to Langkawi and Kelantan? If you want to get different tastes of food and different views of culture and surroundings go visit Langkawi and Kelantan.
Well, I'm from penang. Suggestion.. For Indian food, Naan is more expensive than roti canai, teh tarik is more expensive than teh o. Malay food, nasi lemak, dont eat in a shop or restaurant but find those sold at malay gerai (malay 4 wheel stall) with some plactic tables and chairs place arouund the stall. As for chinese food, instead of plates of chicken rice or noodles, steam Pau (steam bun) with chinese tea is cheap or economy fried bee hoon (vermicelli) or noodle is cheap
I can survive easily rm20 in KL, however not easy to find the place that sell cheap food. Outside of main cities in Malaysia, you can even survive with rm10
If you are feeling adventurous you should try the warungs(stalls) by the road side that sells authentic malay food. Or you can try those mobile stalls selling char koay teow by the chinese uncles. The ultimate al fresco dining experience 🤣🤣🤣
Hi bro derran.i the local citizen of kuala lumpur..for me usd5 it ok for eating around the kuala lumpur city.if you need find good food you can go to kampung baru..there have cheapers stall and place food...try it bro..
For breakfast have nasi lamek which is 1 ringgit and normally the sell with egg at the side which is 1 ringgit, lunch have rice ,veggies with chicken at the food trucks which is 5 ringgit and dinner have roti canae which is 3/4 ringgit so in a day you can spend just 10 ringgit breakfast lunch and dinner
Breakfast - Roti Canai/Nasi Lemak with Teh Tarik/Kopi Tarik Lunch - Malay Nasi Campur with Air Suam/Kosong around Kampung Baru area Dinner - Malay Nasi Goreng with Teh O Limau Suam Transportation - walk/foldable bicycle/free bus Avoid Bukit Bintang area or Mamak's restaurant for food #BMF #janganmarahnantikenajual #LOL
RM20 challenge guide for you.. 1.Breakfast - Order Roti Tisu / Roti Canai + Ais Kosong (Sky Juice) lol.. 2.Lunch - search for Nasi Campur near a Malay community. Eat some rice and add 1 slice of fish + vegetables 3. Dinner - Search a malay community place and order Mee Goreng + Ais Kosong or a Ramly Burger nearby. *search for a hawker foodstall, not a restaurant I guess it will cost you below RM20 of course..
Get a touch and go card if you're a frequent public transport passenger, just tap the reloaded card and go, the fare prices are discounted and not much fuss with the tokens too :) Saves money in a long run
What would you like my next challenge to be? 😁

@@remotedarren I have seen it. Was it last year? I was inspired by your video then I ended up with a night walk around Old KL. It was fantastic.

Art Clark thanks, will try again!
It's cheap as the food are subsidised by their employers who contracted these caterers. Yes, should try.
Yes.rm.2 u have nasi lamak for lunch or mihon
I lived with only RM5 a day,im still studying at school
Like me
haha..
Man thats pretty high nowadays, back in 2000s rm1.50 is all I get and I can get a lot with that
I guess its an economy influx thing
I could survive with RM 1 in school. Enough for 1 meal. Including drinks. Of course that was in the early 2000

Good try. Now here is my suggestion:
For breakfast, look for chinese vegetarian restaurant that have a green sign, you can have a rice with 3 dishes for just RM2 with free flow of plain water. There's a lot of them around KL and Selangor, the sign that mentioned RM2 is in Chinese so just look for the big number 2 if you can't read Chinese 😁. For lunch, head to Dharma Real Guan Yin Sagely Monastery at Jalan Ampang, near Petronas Towers, just 5 minutes walk from KLCC. They have a canteen at the back offering delicious vegetarian buffet at reasonable price, open at around 11AM to 2PM. For dinner, you will have a lot of options because you have quite a lot of balance left from those 2 meals and now you can choose what you want. Try again.
OvD great suggestions, will try again soon and see if I can pass the challenge 😃
Vegetarian food is costly elsewhere in Malaysia!!!
That's why I am suggesting the place as well. I think rice plus 3 dishes for RM2 is quite reasonable and full plate of rice with dishes at the monastery is about RM7 - RM12 depending on what you are having but those two places are relatively cheaper compared to other places with the same portions. And we are talking about KL city and Selangor town. Kampung Baru is a good place for cheap and tasty variation too but comparing the portions, still is a bit pricey. Nasi Lemak for example, you can get the basic (rice, sambal, anchovies, cucumber, boiled egg - quarter) for RM2 but you need to pay extra for additional dishes. You can get RM1.50 Nasi Lemak but the potion is less satisfying. And that's only the food where some places even charge 20cents for plain water. 😓
@@OvDevilz I just had Classic Nasi lemak with side order, one piece chicken at Sugar Bun and it set me back by RM11.45 (without drinks). Classic comes without the 🐔)
👍👍 on your recommendations
@@OvDevilz where is this? I need cheap eats!
i recommend you:
breakfast - roti canai n tea ~ rm5
lunch - nasi campur/nasi lemak with drink ~ rm8
dinner - char kuey tiaw/mee mamak & drink ~ rm7
you can do it buddy! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for the suggestions, I am going to do this challenge again, so this will help!
@@remotedarren u should try Taman Kajang Prima hakka noodles (located same row with Rest 1 Mamak, last corner shop) for breakfast , lunch at Semenyih (leng leng pork noodle) and dinner at Kajang satay (willy food court). thats what locals do here..
Our nasi lemak only rm2 hahaha
@@remotedarren
Yes, Darren also show us the free pink bus please. How regular are they?
😂 RM20 will be enough to fill your belly in Sibu, on mixed rice set and noodles. But in the middle of KL, i highly doubt that. 😬
Haha, I am hoping to get there, so watch this space!!
Still can so long you choose a cafe same level like in sibu... Not to trendy or hypster....
Late to the vid but RM20 is do-able in KL but drinks must be bought at convenience stores. Big mineral water bottles don't cost that much.
It's pronounced more like Roti Chennai. But instead of Che, it's Cha like cha-cha, and then Nai. Cha-nai. Air mata kucing is longan water. Kinda like a tea that's been boiled with longan. It's sweet. The Malays call the fruit "cat's eye" (mata kucing) but the Chinese call it dragon's eye (longan).
Im terrible at pronouncing stuff lol thanks for the comment, interesting!!
I'm about to comment the same about roti canai... Well u can always ask the waiter.. Have a lil chit chat
Mata Kucing & Longan is NOT the same fruit
@@justinfoo8201 I see. Thanks for that interesting info.
RM20 for the whole day is quite tough especially in KL but it can be done Darren if you know where to go.. try Kg. Baru or Brickfields.. there should be no problem if it's outside the city like Kajang, Selayang or Kg. Pandan. Anyway, nice day Darren with your USD5😩
Hashim Hassan 😂 yes, I think breakfast and going to Chinatown were my two mistakes, will try again!
Bring your own water. Or get a 1.5 l bottle from speedmart 99 for rm 0.9
Hello Darren I am from Malaysia.Yes.RM.20 enough if you know how to budget
Call me when you at KL, then i will take you breakfast nasi lemak (fried chicken/chicken sambal/squid sambal/muscle sambal) 😊👍🇲🇾
Lots of people in the B40 segment survive on less than RM20 a day in KL. Not great food but it gets you through the day.
Yep... that naan set you back. I'm confident you can do it though. Cheers!
Marcel Nunis yes, that’s where I went wrong, will give it another try next week! 😀
It's not just a naan bread, it's a CHEESE naan! Everything went double once you add cheese in KL. I'll go for just naan (or naan biasa as we called it here).
I think dinner as well. You could get a better filling dinner like potato bun (big size) for RM3+. When I'm on very tight budget, I just get a whole grain slice bread (Gardenia) cost just over RM3. It will get me through the day (sometimes for dinner as well).
And don't buy a drink at convenient store, get it at local grocery store. It's cheaper.
USD 5 can last you 2 days easily if you went into state of Kelantan of Tumpat district for example. 0.48 dollar for a pack of decent chicken rice for breakfast if you buy it from some local stall, though 0.72 dollar for a pack of that chicken rice is common price. That's how cheap food here compared with cities like KL.
It could be quite expensive if you be in big city like kl. If go to small town u can get cheaper food
It is cheaper in malaysia when you are from europe.. if you are a malaysian, live in malaysia, paid about rm1500/month with family.. i bet you will eat instant noodle everyday.. huhuuhu
of course you will survive with Rm20..i am thankful enough if i get Rm20 per day to spend..
Wish you well. No need to eat out every meal. You learn to save money when you/we
have to.
Next challenge: *Eat spicy food ALL THE DAY* (prove it by not skipping the clip until you finish your every plate)
Now, this is a challenge I'd like to do. The question is, whats the most spiciest food in KL?
Remote Darren Cool and yeah it's getting funnier right now because I'm the host of the challenge but me myself don't even know where to get these stuffs 😅 So I suggest you could go to the restaurant that offer you nasi lemak with a lot choices of sambal, korean restaurant "basically noodles are the spiciest one". but I know one thing where you rly can have on of this challenge, go to Seven Eleven and bought "Korean spicy ramen" it's seriously damn spicy but you have to cook it yourself. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED?
R.I.P. Darren, we knew ye well.
@@remotedarren goo.gl/maps/cn6vPbnrUyV2JN1v8, try this is at Chow Kit area which is within the city. Famous spicy noodle. They will give you a bowl of chili paste so you can adjust the spiciest to your liking.
Hello Mr Darren ....
West 🇲🇾 is much cheaper than in East 🇲🇾 .... I'm living in East 🇲🇾, so I knew
.... anyway, please come to East 🇲🇾 especially to Sabah @ Land Below The Wind, enjoy the magnificient Mount Kinabalu, beaches, islands & Desa Dairy Farm ....
⚘🇲🇾⚘
You can eat at hawker Chinese stalls breakfast - meehoon RM 3, lunch - Nasi lemak kukus RM6, Dinner - mix rice Chinese restaurant RM 7
wow, I need so see Malaysia, love it.
Move to Taiping.. problem solved 😎😊
It's on my list to visit!
taiping lake garden very beautiful
@@remotedarren top 3 best retirement city in the world!
I'm a Sabahan living in Taiping. I approve of this message!
Lake garden, maxwell hill, first museum and zoo in malaysia, doli koew teow and the list go on. the best part is they're all in short walking distance to each other.
you can save more on LRT/MRT train if you use touch n go card, the fare is cheaper than buying token
Enjoy your vacation and have a great day sir..❤from Sarawak
Thank you, Rose. I'm hoping to come back to Sarawak over the next few weeks, will see.
You choose the cheapest meals at isolated areas. It does not reflect actual living cost here. RM20 is only sufficient for one simple meal at hawker stall at shopping center.
The challenge was to only spend RM20, so had to eat cheaper food!
USD 5 or RM20 is doable, bro. Try half of it. That is a challenge.
Less than RM20 including public transport? Now that sounds a challenge! 😂Guess I could walk and spend all the money on food!
Yeah! If you stay 1 day around Kg Baru, you can survive with that RM20.00
Breakfast Roti canai + teh Tarik just RM4.00. Don't eat at Nasi Kandar Restaurant. The price slightly higher.
Lunch with Nasi Campur ( rice + any curry + mineral water ) = RM6.00
High Tea, don't go to Nasi Kandar Restaurant ( Roti telur + sky juice ) = RM 3.00
Dinner at any Malay Thai restaurant ( Nasi goreng kampung / Kueyteow goreng / mee goreng + hot tea ) = RM7.00
Total RM20.00
Love these suggestions! Thank you, will be doing the challenge again soon!
Great! New Video... hope you are enjoying your time in Malaysia. It is almost Monsoon season (frequently heavy raining), especially the East Coast of Peninsula, take care Sir.
Thank you. Yes, raining here in KL late afternoon and evening, but I'm usually working. Really want to get to the East coast but will wait until early next month.
Beside roti canai, u also can try capati, roti jala, nasi lemak, bihun goreng, mee goreng....they also cheap..Rm20 just for food is enough.👍
darren: it is roti canai.. sound like "chair" not "kha.." :)
Ahhh, damn I've been saying it wrong all this time! 😁😂
its "cha" of the word "chart", and "ny" of the word "deny"
How to survive RM20 a day
Breakfast: mamak
Lunch: mixed rice
Dinner: Wan Tan Mee
Go find malay restaurant or store to have a lunch. It will cost around rm5-8.
It is possible to do a day in KL with RM20 given you are willing to walk up to 25 minutes from Pasar Seni.
Breakfast:
2 pieces of Roti Canai + Teh Tarik at Mansion Tea Stall for about RM4
Lunch:
Thali set at ABC Bistro Cafe, Brickfields for RM6. This complete vegetarian meal comes with soup and a desert. You can just drink plain water because the meal is so filling.
Dinner:
Splurge at KFC with 1-pc Rice Plate for RM8.60 in Nu Sentral.
These places are walkable from Pasar Seni.
Walking is good! Thanks for the suggestions! Will be doing this challenge again.
U should try nasi bujang 😂
That's on my list for sure!
It’s chicken broth ( without the chicken) and omelette. That would be it. 👻👻
college student in malaysia can survive with RM50 for a week
even me as a local didnt think Rm20 is enough to survive for a day nowadays in Kuala Lumpur.. maybe in kampung baru yeahh cheaper than the centre city
Boleh. Roti sardin/ikan bilis gardenia 20 biji just 20 ringgit hahaha
Nak seribu daya ... Rm20 a day. Can do la. If you seek Mcd for lunch, burger king for dinner sure not enough. Here one example. On breakfast, don't take light meal like roti canai, but take a little bit heavy, nasi lemak or bihun goreng. Aim to make you survive through lunch without meal. For lunch, just eat fruit slices and plenty of water. Wait until around 5-6, then dig for your dinner. Heavy one. Make sure with plenty of vegetables cause vegetables is going to make satiety until sleep time. If you still hungry after dark, have another fruit slice that you bought earlier. Breakfast RM 5, Fruit slices RM3. Dinner RM7-8, Fruit Slice RM3. Total RM18-19. Easy peasy.
Boleh, siang makan nasi lemak bungkus biasa + teh o suam. Petang makan roti canai + kopi o suam. Malam boleh makan nasi goreng + air suam. Kenyang.
Get out of the central core and into the suburbs and stay away from the malls.
Masih boleh survive.rm20 seorang tu banyak lagi. Pagi klu tak ambil nasi lemak ambil bun @ roti paling mahal rm3. Tengah hari tu nasi ayam set atau makanan tepi jalan noodles soup paling mahal pun dlm rm7. Malam ambil burger rm5-7. Masih ada balance untuk buah. Rm20 at kl untuk makanan tu tak de masalah. Klu rm10 sehari tu makanan choice lagi limit la tu.
4 bf 1pc of roticanai, cos $1.20
Tea o $1.20
Lunch nasi lemak wrapped $1.50
Roc water $1.20
Dinner burger $2.50
Darren. Heading south to Johore. Be my guess. I bring you to the famous Nasi Lemak Wak Kentut 😄
Wow.. boleh join ka? 😆
"Kentut" is "fart" in Malay!
Jom aku nak ikut
Bro which area bro may I know

20 ringgit = maggi + air mineral = 1 minggu
Three years ago I was working in a remote area 64 km (40 miles) away from where I live. I travelled daily by motorbike to start work at 8.30 a.m. I use to stop by at a small coffee shop for breakfast. I have 5 pieces kuih muih (curry puffs and pastries) for RM 1.50 and a glass of hot nescafe for RM1.00. I also buy 2 sizeable pkts. of Nasi Lemak @ RM1.00 each for my lunch. I have my bottled drinking water at my workplace which cost RM1.50 for a 1.5 litres. So my breakfast cost me RM2.50 and my lunch cost me RN2.00, Drinking water for the day RM3.00. After work as I head back home I stop at a restaurant and have my dinner of Nasi Campur (Mixed Rice) which cost me RM4.00 and a RM1.00 hot nescafe to keep me alert for my 64 kms motorbike ride back home. All in it costs me RM 2.50 + 2.00 + 3.00 + 5.00 = RM12.50.
Daily petrol cost was another ,RM6.00 for the trip to and fro. My pay was RM 3,500.00 per month, enough for a retiree having his own house and none to support.
Costs aside the travelling was a thrill daily. I use to see some animals including snakes, a variety of monkeys including the scary berok specie that moves alone or with just a mate. Afte some time it becomes a routine and the excitement is lost.
Retiree with rm3500 monthly is pretty awesome...what job u do to get that much
Danial Muhamad just Supervisor at a large modern Palm Oil Mill Complex construction site in a remote area.was in charge of daily report of work done as well. The daily travelling from office to worksite was through damaged tarred roads and laterite roads as well as red earth roads. When it rains, the bike is completely covered with red earth. Bike gets daily power jet wash after reaching the office/factory site in town.
Danial Muhamad that project was a multi million Ringgit project.
5 pcs kuih for RM1.50! Which area was that? It was RM2 for 5 pcs at my place back then but now it's for 4 pcs only. Nasi campur for RM4 is pretty rare. Nasi + ayam + sayur normally cost me RM6-7.
Mohd K, it is a small Kg. Cowboy town. I was surprised myself, the very first time I ate there. Imagine Nescafe at RM1.00 when at other places, it was priced at not less than RM1.50. The customers who "lepaked" there too were very friendly. Besides the food cooked daily was not in huge quantities and so you get the home cooked flavour with good taste. No gimmicks. I enjoyed the rural setting and the way people went about their daily work activities. Of course the price of Kuih is 5 pcs. for RM2.00 in my town.
When long ago, the price of chicken satay in my town was RM0.25 per stick, it was selling at Bukit Mertajam town for RM 0.20 per stick.
I am an old timer, so everytime the price increases a little I am more aware of it. In the early 70's, kuih was only 5 sen, Nasi Lemak was 10 sen and Ice Kacang (ABC) was ten sen. Light Milk tea was 20 sen per one litre bottle. If you want Thicker Milk Tea, it was 30 sen per one litre bottle.
If your grab fare is high, walk to another street, and check the price again ^o^
You definitely blew it on breakfast :)... If you had chosen a roti canai and teh o, it probably would've cost you just a little over 2 Ringgit.
Ahmad Ashrin Abdul Jalil yes, totally blew it there. Roti canai was only 1.20. Will try again 😃
Breakfast Roti Canai+Teh Tarik RM 2.70
Lunch Chicken Rice with Soup+Chinese Tea/Water RM 7-7.50
Soup/Dry Noodles + Chinese Tea/Water RM 7-7.50
For RM20, you can get
Breakfast: 2 pieces Roti Canai + Milk Tea = RM4.50
Lunch: Chinese Economy Rice (1 Meat, 1 Vege, 1 Tofu/Egg) + Iced Chinese Tea = RM8
Dinner: Mamak Stir Fried Noodle / Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken + Iced Water = RM7.50
Hang around Lake Garden, Bird Park, Police Museum for free and when it rains in the afternoon, just take the free GoKL Bus, and go hangout in KLCC Shopping Mall.
Did you have go to puchong
WOW. Good title.one japanese channel challenge RM 5 a day in Kuala Lumpur just for food. Your challenge more meaningful because included with transportation. For 5 ringgit, you can eat macdonald nasi lemak rice only, roti canai and go for a night market you can cheapest food. The reason you are over spent because you pay for transport. Your challenge actually was considered successful and 7 ringgit for a mee is little bit expensive, I recommend you to eat mixed rice with 1 dish. I think that can cost you only 3 ringgit.
Well! I think the more appropriate and precise title of the video should have been: 'Could' I SURVIVE Living on 'U.S.' $5 DOLLARS a DAY in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?
Just delete the word 'Did' and replaced it with 'Could'. Then add it up with the word 'U.S.' in capital letters in between the two words, 'on' and '$5' . That's all! Please do correct me if I'm wrong!
You can literally have a feast with RM 20 at any MAMAK restaurant. If you doing this again have your breakfast/lunch/dinner at any MAMAK restaurant I recommend Ali-Maju.
USD 5 = MYR 22 more or less, if you eat Nasi lemak Kosong, Plain water, or Roti Canai kosong, should be no problem, Or chinese mix rice wihout meat
Yes of course you could.
Get water and roti canai kosong for breakfast = RM2
Nasi Campur and water = RM8 for lunch,
Nasi Goreng Kampung = RM5
Balance for transport
If you go to sibu, sarawak.. East malaysia actually.. For RM20 you can treat 2 or 3 of your friend... Mee kampua just rm2.50..ming tai peng (teh without sugar) rm0.50 per glass...
I survived on RM6 per day when I was a student in Penang a couple of years ago. RM20 is totally doable hahah
2 roti chanai RM 2.4
1 teh tarik RM 1.5
Breakfast RM 3.9
Lunch Nasi kandar, take all u need, RM 7
Evening Teh tarik RM 1.5
Night dinner 2 roti chanai, 1 thosai , RM 5
Remaining RM 2, please buy some sweet treats for dessert ..
In the morning get the your Nasi Lemak from the road side stalls (Rm 5-6). Lunch go to the Chinese coffee shop and have Chicken Rice or Noodles (Rm 6-7). Dinner get a Ramly Burger from a roadside stall (Rm 5-6). Drink at the coffee shop or mamak,Rm 2. Total=RM 20!
Too much already. 20 RINGGIT per day is too much. You should try 5 Ringgit per day
ITS CALLED RINGGIT NOT DOLLAR. Anyway, have you been to the light show at China Town? Hi me malay and indian, chinese and malay lives together
It would be nice if u come to Pulau Pinang (Penang)..there is a lot of food in here.. and try to survive😝 probably it is hard not only in Penang because in malaysia we have a lot of delicious and unique taste of food..😂😭😭a multicultural country with many types of food..
Many of the tourists love to visit Batu Caves. But if you wish to have cheap but delicious/variety of food, it's a 500 metres walk from Batu Caves to Seri Gombak. There is a Yellow State Free Bus - one every hour, after 5 minutes - press the button to stop at Taman Sri Gombak - but it's better you tell the driver where you want to stop. You can use Grab (the Malaysian Uber version) - I think it's about RM7.00 to RM8.00. Look for the row of stalls - a mix of Malay, Indian (pure Indian), Mamak and Chinese... (along Jalan SG 1/8) - there are more actually but I leave that to you guys to explore.
you can go to lrt Ampang park exit to G Tower at noon for lunch you can buy nasi ayam or nasi tomato set with rm6. others vendor also have. for breakfast just find variety streets food vendors at outside masjid jamik station about 8 am.
Hey, I am at the other side of KL, so, getting there that early will be a challenge, but need to find a local Nasi Lemak roadside stall where I am, love it.
@@remotedarren any place nearby your location you can find expecially near resident area and lrt station. 🤗🤗
Try sungai petani...then your 5usd budget will have change...
Accually u can survive with rm 20 in kuala lumpur. Mrng brast take roti canai 2 pieces cost about rm2. 40, tea bout rm2.00. Lunch take nasi kukus its ony cost bout rm 6.00 and dinner u can take some light food like noodles cost rm7. 50. Total : rm 17.90 ony 😊
For rm20, you got to go hawker stalls.
Breakfast like mee goreng, nasi goreng, kwetiau goreng & plain nasi lemak you can get around rm4 (plate full + egg if your are lucky) or less + the tarik rm2 or less.
Then you would have around rm14+ left. Average of rm7 for lunch / dinner or you choose to have heavy lunch & light dinner or visa versa.
Lunch on precooked food in Malay stalls normally cheaper then specially cooked hot dinner. Normally we don't have precooked dinner because it would be quite stale already by then.
Nan is more expensive as compared to plane roti canai but more filling. With rm20 you can NOT go extravagant like having cheese or garlic nan. Just plain nan & plain water or teh o only. No milky dirink too.
Got it?
For RM 20 a day you can have roti canai or a plain packet of nasi lemak & pulling tea for breakfast, a wanton noodle soup /dry incl sliced BBQ pork & wanton for lunch & a Ramly beef /chicken burger for dinner. Save up on the drinks just buy a bottle of mineral water for RM1. 50 you might still have balance there.
Maybe you should have limited your food to fruits and vegetables, your drink to water (understand municipal water is safe)!!!
Pronunciation tips. Say the word as it sounds when you read the alphabets. A = ah, B = bh, C = ch, thus canai is 'cha-nigh'. Kandar = k (kh) a (ah) n (nasal n) d (dah) a (ah) r (rah) = kan-dhar, kan as in (khan minus the h), similarly Lumpur = Lum (l = leh, u = u, m = mm) as in 'loom', pur (p = peh, u = uh, r = rah) as in 'poo-r'. No offense, I love this channel, would love to see more from you :)
Kelana jaya Line is the most exspensive ticket among all others train, LRT which is the most cheapest you can get.exp: Sentul Timur/Ampang Line/ Putra heights Line
In penang, nasi lemak cost only Rm1.50 and teh tarik is Rm1.50. Chicken rice per plate is around Rm4.50 - Rm5. Chinese tea is 70 cents
Breakfast with roti canai n teh tarik or rm1 nasi lemak at a Malay or Mamak shop. Lunch nasi campur at stall nearby offices, n dinner at Malay or Mamak shop with the balance. Anybody can survive with rm20 in KL. Cool right?
Yes, Darren, you should just have a toast or 2 at home before you set off.
Then as for drinks, boiled tap water, freeze a quarter and fill the big bottle with fridge cold water
to carry around
where ever you go, saving money and healthy, esp for your diabetes.
You should meet your target then. But don't do it everyday. Treat yourself as well another day.
Not saying you can't afford eat out all the time, surely you can.
Again lovely video showing KL. Capital city is usually more expensive than smaller places.
Still, well done.
You still can buy nasi lemak telur mata for dinner which only cost you RM2.50/ 3.00 at some night stall/ gerai
Come to kedah/Perlis if u want to survive with 20MYR.
I'm not sure whether you've been to these 2 places......anyway, have you been to Langkawi and Kelantan? If you want to get different tastes of food and different views of culture and surroundings go visit Langkawi and Kelantan.
Well, I'm from penang. Suggestion.. For Indian food, Naan is more expensive than roti canai, teh tarik is more expensive than teh o. Malay food, nasi lemak, dont eat in a shop or restaurant but find those sold at malay gerai (malay 4 wheel stall) with some plactic tables and chairs place arouund the stall. As for chinese food, instead of plates of chicken rice or noodles, steam Pau (steam bun) with chinese tea is cheap or economy fried bee hoon (vermicelli) or noodle is cheap
I use Touch"N'Go Card for public transport.
I can survive easily rm20 in KL, however not easy to find the place that sell cheap food. Outside of main cities in Malaysia, you can even survive with rm10
Hi Darren would you like to come Malaysia- Kedah ? I can bring you walk around and food hunting haha
If you are feeling adventurous you should try the warungs(stalls) by the road side that sells authentic malay food. Or you can try those mobile stalls selling char koay teow by the chinese uncles. The ultimate al fresco dining experience 🤣🤣🤣
Didn't know that the botanical gardens existed and I work at KL Sentral and live in KL. Thanks teaching a Malaysian something new!
Hi bro derran.i the local citizen of kuala lumpur..for me usd5 it ok for eating around the kuala lumpur city.if you need find good food you can go to kampung baru..there have cheapers stall and place food...try it bro..
Hi Nasi Lemak guy, recognized you from an article about how you flew all the way from UK for Nasi Lemak.
Just eat nasi lemak for breakfast, lunch and dinner also..total for a day Rm10..
if u spend it only for food it will be more than enough.. but take only local food.
Yes, I think the next challenge will be around just spending the money on food.
I juz landed to this channel. Pretty cool video shots with awesome scenery and places. U r damn rite, the weather is unpredictable...
For breakfast have nasi lamek which is 1 ringgit and normally the sell with egg at the side which is 1 ringgit, lunch have rice ,veggies with chicken at the food trucks which is 5 ringgit and dinner have roti canae which is 3/4 ringgit so in a day you can spend just 10 ringgit breakfast lunch and dinner
Sooo close my friend :P I'm sure that you will make it in the next challenge video.
Haha, so close. It was breakfast that did me in!
Breakfast - Roti Canai/Nasi Lemak with Teh Tarik/Kopi Tarik
Lunch - Malay Nasi Campur with Air Suam/Kosong around Kampung Baru area
Dinner - Malay Nasi Goreng with Teh O Limau Suam
Transportation - walk/foldable bicycle/free bus

thanks for the suggestions, will try the challenge again!
RM20 challenge guide for you..
1.Breakfast - Order Roti Tisu / Roti Canai + Ais Kosong (Sky Juice) lol..
2.Lunch - search for Nasi Campur near a Malay community. Eat some rice and add 1 slice of fish + vegetables
3. Dinner - Search a malay community place and order Mee Goreng + Ais Kosong or a Ramly Burger nearby.
*search for a hawker foodstall, not a restaurant
I guess it will cost you below RM20 of course..
Thanks for watching, I am going to try this challenge again soon! :D
