  • Malaysian cuisine is colorful, flavorful, and best of all if you go to the right place -- it's cheap. That's why on this episode 5 Buck Lunch, Prez takes us to one of his favorite spots, Kopitiam, where the Malaysian food has a bit of a kick.

    Should probably be called "Operation $5 Snack" lmao. None of this food could ever fill me for lunch.

      $5 roast pork and rice lunch in ChinaTown--that was actually not bad which he did a while ago. But $5 for lunch in an expensive city like NYC, you really don't have a lot of option.

    Malaysian food is spicy, but if you're an American and walk in. They will ask you if you want to tone done the spices. You can bank on it. But it's a great date restaurant.

    I am a regular viewer. In my opinion you should raise your limit to 10 bucks and eat something more substantial. for example a double chocolate bacon shake is not a meal! Lunch would be at least a sandwich and a soup or meat and potato. You are eating snacks.

    Malaysian food is a combination of south Indian, Chinese, thai and Indonesian food.

    But 'kicap' or 'kechap' is referring to soy sauce, not tomato sauce.

      This channel had some high quality video about people doing amazing things with food. That's why I'm still subscribed, im hoping they will start to make videos like they used to. This is unoriginal and uninspiring.
