I think one of the important tip to share for the tourists, especially tourists from the US, Canada and UK or EU countries, they should always bring their own tissue or toilet paper.. Malaysia did not commonly use a toilet paper but rather we just use water hose to clean afterwards. But, there is also public toilet that provide it and you can buy it before entering the toilet, It'll cost you like range from RM 0.20- RM 2.00 depends on the location. Yeah, I think that's just one tip from me.. I'm sure my fellow Malaysian are gonna share another useful tips for tourists and foreigners. Enjoy your time in Malaysia. 😁👍
As a fellow malaysian, this are my tips: 1. Bring your own toilet paper everywhere for the toilet. Wet wipes is also convenient. 2. Use sling bag if you are going to crowded places, like morning or night markets. 3. For women travellars, avoid using Grab late at night. Travel from 8pm to 10pm is safer. 4. Malaysian food is sometimes too spicy and hot for foreigners, drink lots of water. 5. You must try Roti Telur and Teh Tarik for breakfast. 6. Most Malaysian can speak basic english. Even the food hawkers. 7. Avoid using the public transportation during the peak hours - Malaysian office hours is from 8 am to 5 pm. Avoid using any LRT, MRT, bus around 7am to 9am and 4.30 pm to 7pm. The heavy traffic is insane especially in the big cities, like KL, Penang, Johore Bahru and Kuching.
Hey guys - this video was great, informative and engaging. You have really sold Malaysia to us, showcased it through your videos so well. Looking forward to seeing you guys in Borneo...
A massive gday from Australia. I've been lurking in the background and eagerly watching all your travels around Asia. I'm visiting Malaysia next week and will be filming my foodie adventures as I follow in your footsteps! Keep up your incredible content!
The best thing I can think of is... Having both of you here in Malaysia , watching your lovely videos and your beautiful smiles. Thank you for sharing the positive side of Malaysia. I'm glad you girls having good time here and very happy for you. Cheers!! 😍🙏🏼
Hey there! Thank you so much for your comment, you gonna love Malaysia! It’s so easy to travel around and the internet is usually pretty good wherever you go 👍 we just checked out your channel, so cute ! Congratulations on starting your UA-cam channel! We’ll check out some of your videos 💙
My advice when you travelling all around Malaysia is to try the state special food. Each state has their own special dish. One example is Laksa. Laksa Penang, Laksa Johor and Laksa Sarawak. All different. Try to engage the local and asked them about the signature food in that state. You will have the time of your life.
Thamk you 4 the series. Whether you're moving from one state to another, crossing into Thailand, or staying in one place like this one, your insights are incredible 👏
Superb guide. A tip on getting cash in Malaysia - Some ATMs charge no fees and some are higher fees - I used the the ATM Fee Saver mobile app - it gave a list of the fee free and low fee ATMs in Malaysia. Also showed the withdrawal limits of the ATMs there for foreign card holders. Was very handy to save up on unnecessary expenses. Worth adding to your list!
If you purchase Touch and Go card you can use it for all Malaysian trains, public city buses, road tolls, parking and even some restaurants and theme parks too. You can always top up anywhere. Since the card is usable for almost anything you can cut ticket queue and finding smaller changes
Make friends with a local and see if they are willing to take you around their hidden spots especially for yummy 'locals-favourite' food. No TripAdvisor will be able to show you these hidden gems. Have fun in Borneo girls. If you're visiting Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, please visit Mari-Mari Cultural Village and the Sabah State Museum to learn more about the diverse culture in Sabah. I can't wait for Borneo vlogs. Stay safe. 💜
hello friends how are you today? I suggest you to sabah. Sipadan island, kapalai island, kota kinabalu (kk) market philipines, roch reff island, mabul island,Mount kinabalu, sandakan and tawau.
Thank you for showcasing our country. I like all your Raya experiences the most especially the bazaar and the open house bit. Cameron Highland also an eye opener of some places that I have yet visited. Most importantly you guys safely back home. Tips for others, please use public transport and grabs, car hopping with strangers need to be selective. Prepare to give up your diets and try our food as much as you can such as Nasi Lemak at Village Park in PJ, Rendang (anywhere you go) and Nasi Kandar at Pelita near KLCC or up north in Penang which is famous for. Have fun!
Since you're going to Borneo(Sarawak) here are some food(Local delicacies) recommendation from me: Food: -Laksa Sarawak(usually Mom's Laksa or Choon Hui. Others also can but these are the best) -Topspot Seafood. Stall No.25 (order local delicacies Midin, salted crab, butter prawn) -Mee Kolok(ask local ppl where the best they know for sure) -Nasi Goreng Ikan Terubok -Linut -Chicken Bamboo -Siniawan Night market at Bau Travel around: -Bako National park, Talang-Satang national park, Sarawak Cultural Village(a must if wanted to know each ethnic of sarawak tribe), Wind cave and Fairy cave at Bau. Yeah.enjoy some random bar at Kuching. The vibe at west aren't same with Borneo. Cheers :)
hi. which route can you recommend for a two weeks trip? which island/beaches can you recommend, which are not that crowdy but still offers opporunities to have supermarkets, fruit stands, restaurants?
Enjoy the rest of your stay in Malaysia. Really missing home though. There is another tip that a lot of foreigners/tourists do not know, it is that most Malaysians are proficient in English. It is a huge advantage for them to make navigating around Malaysia easier. Although when it comes to rural areas, it can be difficult, but still. English is ultra-common here.
i think one of the most important thing to always be aware in malaysia is cultural sensitivity. malaysia is a hodgepodge of multiple races with different values and beliefs. predominantly malay muslims, malaysia is typically a conservative country which may be overlooked by the more open minded travellers.
Instead of using bus to travel to other state, u may check the flight ticket because sometimes flight ticket is even cheaper than bus. Esp for Air Asia flight.. U can save money and time! I used to travel from KUL to my homestate, KBR and the lowest flight ticket i got is not more than RM10 for 2ways 💃
woooooaaaahhhh that is impressive. whenever we have looked for flights, we have found that they aren't that cheap. ALTHOUGH, we normally travel last minute, so it pays to be prepared haha
In johor, Have Indian food in Kerala Restaurant.. Have Mee Rebus And Soto in Zainal's Place restaurant. Have Roti Canai / Roti telur at Roti Canai Bukit Chagar. Have roasted duck rice at Ya Wang in town and then buy kuih and desserts from hiap joo bakery nearby. Also, if u see a truck late at night that is brightly lit , laden with various raw ingredients , surrounded by tables and speakers blaring techno music, u should stop in and try LOKLOK. Basically they have various uncooked food on trays in the truck and u just walk around and choose your ingredients. Once ur done, u hand ur ingredients to the owner and ask him to cook it the best way for each ingredient (I usually ask them to deep fry everything but u can boil some stuff or steam them too) and ask them to put the chilli powder on it as soon as it comes out of the fryer.. Then grab a table (or share a table) and chow down! They also have different dipping sauces and sambals to add to the flavour.
What a helpful video! Thank you! Would you mind also giving tips on what to wear while traveling through Malaysia, especially if one hopes to see all parts of the country? Thank you!
glad i found your channel becos i stay in malaysia too, but suddenly its becos this is not my country and my husband chinese busy to his work. we dont have time to explore diffrent place of malaysia. but now that i found your channel i will use this as my guide travel. thank u so much
Over five months! You realise just how jealous I am? The most I do is three weeks. 100 Mbps is Megabits per second. Megabytes is one-eighth that, so 12½ MBps. Still a lot quicker than a lot of Australia. Australia is a first world country, Malaysia a second. Go figure. Wholeheartedly agree to eat. Makan makan makan! Kukup, just outside Johor Baru, is great for seafood. Singaporeans flock there. Kota Tinggi waterfalls might be a bit over-rated, but are worth a look if you're not crowded out by locals and Singaporeans. My best tip: Learn some of the language. Even if you butcher the pronunciation, it shows respect and shows you're trying. And that you aren't just a tourist with a list of things to see and do that need to be ticked off as you swoop in like seagulls. Ask the locals how they pronounce the names of things. It's also not a hipster challenge to find the weirdest or least visited places to eat. Next tip: Any foreign country will have customs different to your own. Learn them and respect them. YOU are a visitor in THEIR country. Remember that.
Borneo which part? Sarawak-for cultural place Sabah-for nature, adventures and beaches In Sabah got two airport with different places. One in Kota Kinabalu and another one in Tawau. Kota Kinabalu you should go straight to Kundasang to see a mountain like in Switzerland/New Zealand. Tawau have a very very very nice beach and the best among the best island in the world. Try it.
Have a adventurous day in Borneo.... i hope you will take every chances to explore the truest nature there.... refreshes you mind with all green forest and beautiful island.......and the seafood is veeeryy cheap there....
Great tips for travellers! Agree with someone suggestion that if can find locals to be your tourist guide but must be careful too. Mostly foods here is delicious whether it's Malay, Chinese or Indian. Only one food both of you & me that's cannot be accepted is stinky tofu! Thanks for your great tips vlog 👍😘.
If you go to Kuching Sarawak, please go to Top Spot Seafood.you can find variety of delicious seafood and very cheap.u can try also mee kolok,laksa sarawak,nasi lalapan etc...enjoy your trip...
Since you'll be coming to Borneo, assuming you''ll hit Kuching City first for the RWMF 2018, there are a few suggestion I really really really want you guys to do: F&B: 1. Try Kolok Mee - the best I ever taste is Kolok Mee Haji Saleh, Satok area. A should visit spot. 2. Laksa Sarawak - My favourite is Mom's Laksa 3. Kek Lapis (literally Layered Cake) - there are few famous shops selling it, my favourite would be Mira Cake House opposite waterfront, in a place called Boyan. 4. Try seafood at Topspot - there are quite a number of stalls there, but my favourite is stall no 25, you both MUST taste the delicious Soft Shell Crab Telur Masin (telur masin is a salted egg) don't let the name doubt you, you'll never regret it. Trust me on this >.< (ps: do note that all the above food are from my own preference, other opinion might differ ^^) Place of interest: 1. Sarawak Cultural Village - experience all how the locals live from our various tribes, all in one place. As this will be the same location for RWMF, might as well visit this place during that time. 2. Semenggoh Wildlife Centre - I personally never been here but I always suggest visitors to visit this place. lol. So far the feedback are always good. 3. Bako National Park - will involve lots of hiking. PLEASE wear shoes. Picturesque views. You guys wouldn't regret it. 4. Semadang Kayaking & Rafting - You guys can click on the link for details. www.semadangkayak.com/ . Kayaking along a clear river in Borneo. What else can I say, ~_~. 5. Jong's crocodile farm - as the name implies. Sarawak's nickname is Bujang Senang, coming from the name of the biggest crocodile ever caught. Can google this place to know more. 6. Sarawak River Cruise - A boat cruise along Sarawak River, dinner will be provided on the boat, depending on which package you get. Drop points are located along the Sarawak River, most popular is Waterfront point. 7. Puncak Borneo - Another picturesque location in Kuching. Google the image. Ugh dem feels. 8. Visit museums (if you're into these kind of things) - we have Sarawak Museum, Islamic Museum, Chinese Museum, Cat Museum, one largest museum in Sarawak is currently under construction, unfrotunately. 9. Pasar Minggu Satok - Weekend market at Kubah Ria. Selling hundreds of local products. Should visit if you have the time. 10. Local favourite chill spots in Kuching - Kuching waterfront, bing (famous local coffee shop), lepak at vivacity or spring, taman sahabat (friendship garden), Satok uptown (Friday night and Saturday night) 11. Serikin - a bit far out from the city. about 40 minutes to 1 hour driving, located at the border between Malaysia and Indonesia. Famous location for super duper cheap items. Same items that sell for hundreds in the city, selling for only a fraction of its price. If you bring along your haggle skills, might get a lot more cheaper price. Be extra cautious here for your belonging though. Wear something simple as it is hot as hell here. 12. (reserved) I know there're gonna be some location I miss. So I'm gonna leave this point here. If other Kuchingites have better ideas/locations, just hit this post up. (ps: all these locations are within Kuching city or just outskirt of Kuching City. There are other great locations outside Kuching that you should totally visit. Do let me know if you want to know more about them) Cheers to freedom. ^___^y
Oh wow you're going to Johor?? My hometown! Be sure to try Mee Rebus! If you do have time please stop by Mee Rebus House in Johor Bahru (you can find the shop in FB), my sister manages the place and it specialises in Mee Rebus..other Johor specialties are Nasi Beriyani Gam, Kacang Pool, Rojak Asma, Asam Pedas & Mee Bandung. Johor itself is huge and different districts have their specialty, for example if you go to Batu Pahat they have this dish called Mee Racun (literally translated as poisoned noodles). I recommend visiting Salahudin Bakery , it's Johor oldest bakery (100 years & counting) and Hiap Joo Bakery (banana cake is a must buy)..both located in Jalan Tan Hiok Nee in the city centre. Have fun exploring Johor!
Beer For Breakfast cool!!!! I hope you enjoy yourselves there. Try the local made alcohol we call tuak ( jungle juice ) when you're there. Try sarawak laksa, mee kolok, mee sapi, umai, daun ubi, and more local delicacies.
PRO TIP : Be friendly and talkative, and also (if necessary) be intriguing like both of you wonderful gurls! Just don't be shy to ask everything. Most of the Malaysian could speak English. No problem there. There is a proverb in Malaysia, which it literally means if you're shy to ask, you'll lost. A huge thanks to you guys who would like to make videos and have interest in our country. I couldn't thank more ! I appreciate everything you've done so far. This could be a stepping stone to those who are still wondering about Malaysia. On top of all, #CHEERSTOFREEDOM !
You guys are awesome! You're doing such a great job promoting Malaysia and I'm glad that you like it here. Malaysia is such a great place but not many people realize it and you have experienced Malaysia in a way that's more than most of the local people. You have made me feel very proud of our food and friendly people lol. I have never been to Borneo before, but I have heard great stories about their people and culture and I definitely will follow closely with your videos as a reference in future trip! P.S.: Not sure about youtube's policy, but will it be better if you split your videos to few parts at less than 10 minutes each so that most people can finish the whole video and maybe in any way could benefit your earning more?(Just my humble thought)
Hey friend ! Thanks for such a kind comment, we are just truly in love with Malaysia and the people out here .. such an ‘easy’ country to be travelling around, most importantly, very safe and no one has ever been rude to us here 🙏🏼
My tip for foreigners visiting Malaysia- go to East Malaysia and never ever miss it! Bus trips here are super long 😂😂😂 And don't forget to shower twice a day at least. Oh if you go to Miri go to Pasar Malam Saberkas. It's newly renovated!
love your content! Any insights on how to stay in Malaysia long term ? As a canadian, 90 days is given, but I'm trying to explore more ways to extend my stay without applying for the MM2H pass which is quite heavy on the pocket! Thanks, and please continue making these great videos!
Appreciate your comment, Dr Who! I am sure it's quite possible to stay in Malaysia long term, we haven't done any research on that tho. We would always do a little border run and always come back for another 3 months haha
Hi beer4breakfast.....i love your tips....i am planning to do travelling in malaysia next year ...wish me luck...(its gonne be my first time as backpacker)
Heeey Violet! Thanks for the love!! Ohh , how exciting ! We won't wish you luck, you don't need that! Everything is gonna be just fine! Where are you from? :)
Hi Justina and Micha, if you reach johor bharu please go to 1. Restaurant ZZ, try their Mee Rebus Tulang. 2. Kacang Pool Haji, in Larkin near to fire station.
Absolutely Malaysia is a food heaven for all.Goin to Johor?that's also a very well known of the largest state in Malaysia.Lot of food and culture to explore like,soto,kuah lodeh,nasi beriyani gam,kacang pool,nice ikan bakar spot at tip top restaurant,ikan siakap goreng kg pasir puteh,and many more...good luck guys.happy travelling.
If you in Johor don't forget to visit the "end of asia continental land". The same in Sabah, you can visit "the tips of Borneo". If you a food hunter you must visit Muar for the asam pedas and mee bandung. Batu pahat known for nasi bryani gam and laksa johor.
as dziaugiuosi, kad esate labai laimingas ir megaukites aplankydami mano nuostabia sali ... (sorry if it's not a correct way to wrote it) - I'm glad that you are very happy and entertained when visiting my wonderful country ... -
actually i ask one of my brother's staff she is from Poland, well i used to travel & staying with my brother over Europe so it's good to learn some of the words & their language too right..
go to jalan tan hiok nee in johor, must try the banana cake! i love it. while in kuching, pls try mee kolok, laksa sarawak, kueh chap, belacan bihun, kek lapis, ice cream gula apong and lot more. for drinks u guys can try metahor and white lady. go to song kheng hai food court, then can walk around Jalan Padungan to buy some rice crackers too. can go to open air market for famous siew mai, 101 food court at night. i believe lot of kuching people will tell u guys more nice place to hunt for food.
Yeah finally to johor bahru... you will experience the total different taste food from the north or east Malaysia which you have experience...southern food is the best and heavenly tasty...here some food you should try while in JB...murtabak singapore ( kampung kurnia ), laksa Johor, mee rebus ( restaurant sup tulang ZZ ), kacang pool( balai bomba larkin ), asam pedas ( abit different from melaka ), biryani gam ( its a must ), soto,lontong, nasi ambeng, otak-otak, ice kacang, go to medan selera tepian tebrau for ikan bakar, sotong kangkong, cakoi bakar.....i guess its too much for both of you to try in a short period of stay hahhahaha but still there plenty of food and trust me you wont regret and might be craving more for southern taste....anyway enjoy and cant wait for your next vlog...cheer guys 😊😊😊
I hope you girls stay here longer and make more videos.At the same time, you are actually promoting our country.I also hope that some day you will be sponsored by some big companies or by the government of Malaysia for the excellent job that you have done.
In Malaysia, always use ‘Grab’ or ‘MyCar’ apps for transportations. Taxis are really really expensive and I expect taxis will charge even more for tourists ! A tip from a local here 😁
Must try Johor (Johor Bharu/ Muar)famous dish, Otak-Otak,it is a grilled fish cake or Pate/fish terrine made of sumptuous meat with traditional spices.
Muar, Johor is my "kampung" you must go there and try Nasi Ambeng, laksa johor and Mee Bandung, those are the signature dish in Johor. and while you are in Johor Bahru.. well, it is like KL 2.0 😆 there are Cats Cafe, the JDT Football Club, Forest City, Legoland, shopping malls.. and dont forget to try Restoran Kacang Pool Haji at JB.. and there is a place called Tanjung Piai located in Pontian Johor where you can stand at the southernmost point of Peninsular Malaysia 👍🏼 and if you want to enjoy waterfall, you can go to Gunung Ledang in Tangkak, Johor. (dont go there during wekends) . that is all from me 😆
You're in JB this weekend? Dun forget to try : 1. Kacang Pool Haji Larkin 2. Laksa Johor 3. Lontong Kering at Hutan Bandar 4. Mee Rebus Tulang ZZ 5. ABC at Tip Top 6. Otak-Otak 7. Celup Celup (steamboat) and list go on and on.. I wish i could drive u around and be your guide.. FOC 😊
Since youbwould be going down south you might wanna T off to Tioman Island. Though it's near Johor East Coast the Island is actually part of Pahang State.
If you're visiting during or around a particular holiday (Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Christmas etc), do join in the festivities and celebration. Try to get a local to invite you if possible. Don't worry, we're a friendly lot, most will definitely invite you. Basically what you guys did for you Hari Raya/Ramadhan videos.
Im not malaysian but u should visit sabah too,a lot's of thing to visit and seafood to enjoy...sabah is seafood paradise where u can enjoy fresh fresh fresh seafood and it's cheaper...😊😊😊😊
I would highly recommend Sabah! You can check out the orangutans and proboscis monkeys there, or go to Desa cattle farm in Kundasang if you want to feel like you’re in New Zealand ❤️
Travelled in Malaysia? What advice would YOU give for someone travelling here?
Beer For Breakfast prepare yourself for hot & humid weather 😆
Be ready to be fatttt !!!
just eat..
that you will never get used to haha
Fooddd everywhere
Food heaven
I think one of the important tip to share for the tourists, especially tourists from the US, Canada and UK or EU countries, they should always bring their own tissue or toilet paper..

I found this also quite common in Thailand!
As a fellow malaysian, this are my tips:
1. Bring your own toilet paper everywhere for the toilet. Wet wipes is also convenient.
2. Use sling bag if you are going to crowded places, like morning or night markets.
3. For women travellars, avoid using Grab late at night. Travel from 8pm to 10pm is safer.
4. Malaysian food is sometimes too spicy and hot for foreigners, drink lots of water.
5. You must try Roti Telur and Teh Tarik for breakfast.
6. Most Malaysian can speak basic english. Even the food hawkers.
7. Avoid using the public transportation during the peak hours - Malaysian office hours is from 8 am to 5 pm. Avoid using any LRT, MRT, bus around 7am to 9am and 4.30 pm to 7pm. The heavy traffic is insane especially in the big cities, like KL, Penang, Johore Bahru and Kuching.
Great tips!!
We are currently in KL!! We absolutely love it here! Wish we could stay for as long as you guys have been here!
The Everlasting Adventure be safe.. pls keep ur personal belongings safe too..Welcome to Malaysia! Enjoy!

If you purchase Touch and Go card you can use it for all Malaysian trains, public city buses, road tolls, parking and even some restaurants and theme parks too. You can always top up anywhere. Since the card is usable for almost anything you can cut ticket queue and finding smaller changes

Cheers :)
Thank you so much for so many great recommendations!!! 🤩

In johor, Have Indian food in Kerala Restaurant.. Have Mee Rebus And Soto in Zainal's Place restaurant. Have Roti Canai / Roti telur at Roti Canai Bukit Chagar. Have roasted duck rice at Ya Wang in town and then buy kuih and desserts from hiap joo bakery nearby.
Also, if u see a truck late at night that is brightly lit , laden with various raw ingredients , surrounded by tables and speakers blaring techno music, u should stop in and try LOKLOK.

Please add Sate Wak radol at Kempas along with Otak2, Kacang Pol at Larkin Fire Station and Rojak Asma at Angsana Mall, Bandar Baru Uda :)

Over five months! You realise just how jealous I am? The most I do is three weeks.
100 Mbps is Megabits per second. Megabytes is one-eighth that, so 12½ MBps. Still a lot quicker than a lot of Australia. Australia is a first world country, Malaysia a second. Go figure.
Wholeheartedly agree to eat. Makan makan makan!
Kukup, just outside Johor Baru, is great for seafood. Singaporeans flock there.
Kota Tinggi waterfalls might be a bit over-rated, but are worth a look if you're not crowded out by locals and Singaporeans.
My best tip: Learn some of the language. Even if you butcher the pronunciation, it shows respect and shows you're trying. And that you aren't just a tourist with a list of things to see and do that need to be ticked off as you swoop in like seagulls. Ask the locals how they pronounce the names of things. It's also not a hipster challenge to find the weirdest or least visited places to eat.
Next tip: Any foreign country will have customs different to your own. Learn them and respect them. YOU are a visitor in THEIR country. Remember that.
Borneo which part?
Sarawak-for cultural place
Sabah-for nature, adventures and beaches
In Sabah got two airport with different places. One in Kota Kinabalu and another one in Tawau. Kota Kinabalu you should go straight to Kundasang to see a mountain like in Switzerland/New Zealand. Tawau have a very very very nice beach and the best among the best island in the world. Try it.
Thank you! 😍👍
Have a adventurous day in Borneo.... i hope you will take every chances to explore the truest nature there.... refreshes you mind with all green forest and beautiful island.......and the seafood is veeeryy cheap there....
Thank you darling!! We cannot wait !! Eeekkkk!!! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Try to go to go to bukit ampang to watch KL view on top of the hill and enjoy night market there....
Great tips for travellers!
Agree with someone suggestion that if can find locals to be your tourist guide but must be careful too.
Mostly foods here is delicious whether it's Malay, Chinese or Indian.
Only one food both of you & me that's cannot be accepted is stinky tofu!
Thanks for your great tips vlog 👍😘.
Stinky tofu!!! Oh no haha 🤣
Try Avani and Port Dickson
If you go to Kuching Sarawak, please go to Top Spot Seafood.you can find variety of delicious seafood and very cheap.u can try also mee kolok,laksa sarawak,nasi lalapan etc...enjoy your trip...
Thank you !!! 😍😍😍
If you going to Johor, go to pasar karat at JB Square, nite market is wide
Since you'll be coming to Borneo, assuming you''ll hit Kuching City first for the RWMF 2018, there are a few suggestion I really really really want you guys to do:
F&B:
1. Try Kolok Mee - the best I ever taste is Kolok Mee Haji Saleh, Satok area. A should visit spot.
2. Laksa Sarawak - My favourite is Mom's Laksa
3. Kek Lapis (literally Layered Cake) - there are few famous shops selling it, my favourite would be Mira Cake House opposite waterfront, in a place called Boyan.
4. Try seafood at Topspot - there are quite a number of stalls there, but my favourite is stall no 25, you both MUST taste the delicious Soft Shell Crab Telur Masin (telur masin is a salted egg) don't let the name doubt you, you'll never regret it. Trust me on this >.<
(ps: do note that all the above food are from my own preference, other opinion might differ ^^)
Place of interest:
1. Sarawak Cultural Village - experience all how the locals live from our various tribes, all in one place. As this will be the same location for RWMF, might as well visit this place during that time.
2. Semenggoh Wildlife Centre - I personally never been here but I always suggest visitors to visit this place. lol. So far the feedback are always good.
3. Bako National Park - will involve lots of hiking. PLEASE wear shoes. Picturesque views. You guys wouldn't regret it.
4. Semadang Kayaking & Rafting - You guys can click on the link for details. www.semadangkayak.com/ . Kayaking along a clear river in Borneo. What else can I say, ~_~.
5. Jong's crocodile farm - as the name implies. Sarawak's nickname is Bujang Senang, coming from the name of the biggest crocodile ever caught. Can google this place to know more.
6. Sarawak River Cruise - A boat cruise along Sarawak River, dinner will be provided on the boat, depending on which package you get. Drop points are located along the Sarawak River, most popular is Waterfront point.
7. Puncak Borneo - Another picturesque location in Kuching. Google the image. Ugh dem feels.
8. Visit museums (if you're into these kind of things) - we have Sarawak Museum, Islamic Museum, Chinese Museum, Cat Museum, one largest museum in Sarawak is currently under construction, unfrotunately.
9. Pasar Minggu Satok - Weekend market at Kubah Ria. Selling hundreds of local products. Should visit if you have the time.
10. Local favourite chill spots in Kuching - Kuching waterfront, bing (famous local coffee shop), lepak at vivacity or spring, taman sahabat (friendship garden), Satok uptown (Friday night and Saturday night)
11. Serikin - a bit far out from the city. about 40 minutes to 1 hour driving, located at the border between Malaysia and Indonesia. Famous location for super duper cheap items. Same items that sell for hundreds in the city, selling for only a fraction of its price. If you bring along your haggle skills, might get a lot more cheaper price. Be extra cautious here for your belonging though. Wear something simple as it is hot as hell here.
12. (reserved) I know there're gonna be some location I miss. So I'm gonna leave this point here. If other Kuchingites have better ideas/locations, just hit this post up.
(ps: all these locations are within Kuching city or just outskirt of Kuching City. There are other great locations outside Kuching that you should totally visit. Do let me know if you want to know more about them)
Cheers to freedom. ^___^y
U must meet Mat Dan.he is from England..now stay Terengganu..
Ur both should try this menu in Johor.. Mee Bandung, Nasi Ambeng, Kacang Pool, Mee Rebus, & Laksa Johor
Enjoy!
Can't wait to watch you guys on your next journey trying new malaysia cuisine!!! have funnn...
Thank you soooo much !!! 😍
Oh wow you're going to Johor?? My hometown! Be sure to try Mee Rebus! If you do have time please stop by Mee Rebus House in Johor Bahru (you can find the shop in FB), my sister manages the place and it specialises in Mee Rebus..other Johor specialties are Nasi Beriyani Gam, Kacang Pool, Rojak Asma, Asam Pedas & Mee Bandung. Johor itself is huge and different districts have their specialty, for example if you go to Batu Pahat they have this dish called Mee Racun (literally translated as poisoned noodles). I recommend visiting Salahudin Bakery , it's Johor oldest bakery (100 years & counting) and Hiap Joo Bakery (banana cake is a must buy)..both located in Jalan Tan Hiok Nee in the city centre.
Have fun exploring Johor!
Thank you soooo much for all these recommendations! 🤗👍
oh my god guys u really dont know how u help me. now im ready to explore malaysia yoooohoooo
wooohooo!! We are so excited that this was helpful!!! 💞
Girls please go to Kuching Sarawak for Rainforest World Music Festival to be held on the 13th to 15th of July. It's gonna fun.
We already have tickets 😎
Beer For Breakfast cool!!!! I hope you enjoy yourselves there. Try the local made alcohol we call tuak ( jungle juice ) when you're there. Try sarawak laksa, mee kolok, mee sapi, umai, daun ubi, and more local delicacies.
oooooo we are sooooo going to try that
i love you guys im always checking on your videos. Thanks for the contents im a proud malaysian
I'm super jealous you're going to Borneo. Can't wait to see the videos.
PRO TIP : Be friendly and talkative, and also (if necessary) be intriguing like both of you wonderful gurls! Just don't be shy to ask everything. Most of the Malaysian could speak English. No problem there. There is a proverb in Malaysia, which it literally means if you're shy to ask, you'll lost. A huge thanks to you guys who would like to make videos and have interest in our country. I couldn't thank more ! I appreciate everything you've done so far. This could be a stepping stone to those who are still wondering about Malaysia. On top of all, #CHEERSTOFREEDOM !
Thanks darling #cheerstofreedom 🤗
Foods to try in Johore:-
1) Asam Pedas Muar
2) Laksa Johor
3) Kacang Pool
4) Nasi Briyani Gam
5) Otak-otak
6) Goreng Pisang + Sambal Kicap
7) Murtabak Cheese
Thanks very much. Do you think we can eat everything in 2 days?...we think so haha
Soon, you girls will have the "What to eat?" dilemma like all Malaysians do
Soon? We have that everyday haha
That's the toughest question everyday for us Malaysian...
I enjoyed your video. and now look into all of your videos. great job girls.
You guys are awesome! You're doing such a great job promoting Malaysia and I'm glad that you like it here. Malaysia is such a great place but not many people realize it and you have experienced Malaysia in a way that's more than most of the local people.
You have made me feel very proud of our food and friendly people lol.
I have never been to Borneo before, but I have heard great stories about their people and culture and I definitely will follow closely with your videos as a reference in future trip!
P.S.: Not sure about youtube's policy, but will it be better if you split your videos to few parts at less than 10 minutes each so that most people can finish the whole video and maybe in any way could benefit your earning more?(Just my humble thought)
Hey friend ! Thanks for such a kind comment, we are just truly in love with Malaysia and the people out here .. such an ‘easy’ country to be travelling around, most importantly, very safe and no one has ever been rude to us here 🙏🏼
My tip for foreigners visiting Malaysia- go to East Malaysia and never ever miss it! Bus trips here are super long 😂😂😂
And don't forget to shower twice a day at least. Oh if you go to Miri go to Pasar Malam Saberkas. It's newly renovated!
love your content! Any insights on how to stay in Malaysia long term ? As a canadian, 90 days is given, but I'm trying to explore more ways to extend my stay without applying for the MM2H pass which is quite heavy on the pocket! Thanks, and please continue making these great videos!
Appreciate your comment, Dr Who! I am sure it's quite possible to stay in Malaysia long term, we haven't done any research on that tho. We would always do a little border run and always come back for another 3 months haha
Hi beer4breakfast.....i love your tips....i am planning to do travelling in malaysia next year ...wish me luck...(its gonne be my first time as backpacker)
Heeey Violet! Thanks for the love!! Ohh , how exciting ! We won't wish you luck, you don't need that! Everything is gonna be just fine! Where are you from? :)

Hi Justina and Micha, if you reach johor bharu please go to

Thanks for the recommendations!
Absolutely Malaysia is a food heaven for all.Goin to Johor?that's also a very well known of the largest state in Malaysia.Lot of food and culture to explore like,soto,kuah lodeh,nasi beriyani gam,kacang pool,nice ikan bakar spot at tip top restaurant,ikan siakap goreng kg pasir puteh,and many more...good luck guys.happy travelling.
Thanks for all of that info, never been there before so looking forward to the food scene
The largest is Sarawak and followed by Sabah...Johor is maybe the largest for peninsular of Malaysia..
Mohd.Firdauze Azahari sorry..one of the largest..missing one words there😁. The largest in peninsular is Pahang.
If you in Johor don't forget to visit the "end of asia continental land". The same in Sabah, you can visit "the tips of Borneo".
If you a food hunter you must visit Muar for the asam pedas and mee bandung. Batu pahat known for nasi bryani gam and laksa johor.
as dziaugiuosi, kad esate labai laimingas ir megaukites aplankydami mano nuostabia sali ... (sorry if it's not a correct way to wrote it) - I'm glad that you are very happy and entertained when visiting my wonderful country ... -
Hehehe so cute !!! Did you use google translator for that ? 😀
actually i ask one of my brother's staff she is from Poland, well i used to travel & staying with my brother over Europe so it's good to learn some of the words & their language too right..
Great video for travel guides & tips!!
I will be in Johor this weekend. Hope to meet you.
Thanks 4 promoted our country Malaysia to ur viewers.. 😘
It has been our absolute pleasure
Must go to Sabah - The Land Below the Wind.

I just wondering how do you two feel the different about the life in k.l and other state in malaysia especially Kuching?
Johor!! I stay in Johor Bahru! are u guys dropping by Johor Bahru?
Wuuuu....cheers to freedom...
Nice ...thanks for been here...
Malaysian people loves both of u....
go to jalan tan hiok nee in johor, must try the banana cake! i love it. while in kuching, pls try mee kolok, laksa sarawak, kueh chap, belacan bihun, kek lapis, ice cream gula apong and lot more. for drinks u guys can try metahor and white lady. go to song kheng hai food court, then can walk around Jalan Padungan to buy some rice crackers too. can go to open air market for famous siew mai, 101 food court at night. i believe lot of kuching people will tell u guys more nice place to hunt for food.
Yeah finally to johor bahru... you will experience the total different taste food from the north or east Malaysia which you have experience...southern food is the best and heavenly tasty...here some food you should try while in JB...murtabak singapore ( kampung kurnia ), laksa Johor, mee rebus ( restaurant sup tulang ZZ ), kacang pool( balai bomba larkin ), asam pedas ( abit different from melaka ), biryani gam ( its a must ), soto,lontong, nasi ambeng, otak-otak, ice kacang, go to medan selera tepian tebrau for ikan bakar, sotong kangkong, cakoi bakar.....i guess its too much for both of you to try in a short period of stay hahhahaha but still there plenty of food and trust me you wont regret and might be craving more for southern taste....anyway enjoy and cant wait for your next vlog...cheer guys 😊😊😊
Food advise. Go to Klang and try out the Bak Kut Teh. Both soup and dry type.
Woww...very accurate comments and information of Malaysia as good as local commentators. Congrats girls
That makes us feel very happy
go to sabah & sarawak next
I hope you girls stay here longer and make more videos.At the same time, you are actually promoting our country.I also hope that some day you will be sponsored by some big companies or by the government of Malaysia for the excellent job that you have done.
Thanks so much. We hope so too ☺️
In Malaysia, always use ‘Grab’ or ‘MyCar’ apps for transportations. Taxis are really really expensive and I expect taxis will charge even more for tourists ! A tip from a local here 😁
GRAB service is great . Good both of you choose it .
Must try Johor (Johor Bharu/ Muar)famous dish, Otak-Otak,it is a grilled fish cake or Pate/fish terrine made of sumptuous meat with traditional spices.
Visit southernmost point of Peninsular Malaysia-Tanjung Piai and thus the most southern point of mainland Euro-Asia.
Thank you for your great travel vlog in malaysia,, cant wait for the next vlog,, love u guys so much😘😘😘
wedding feast video? nice tips hope u can travel sabah and sarawak too
The wedding is off 😞
Keep it up and have a safe journey to Johor.
Thanks ‘ ☺️
Muar, Johor is my "kampung" you must go there and try Nasi Ambeng, laksa johor and Mee Bandung, those are the signature dish in Johor. and while you are in Johor Bahru.. well, it is like KL 2.0 😆 there are Cats Cafe, the JDT Football Club, Forest City, Legoland, shopping malls.. and dont forget to try Restoran Kacang Pool Haji at JB.. and there is a place called Tanjung Piai located in Pontian Johor where you can stand at the southernmost point of Peninsular Malaysia 👍🏼 and if you want to enjoy waterfall, you can go to Gunung Ledang in Tangkak, Johor. (dont go there during wekends) . that is all from me 😆
Thanks so much for the info
Hey. I’m from malacca. Can’t stop smiling while watching yr video.
Awww that’s lovely
Welcome to sabah. Hope to run to you guys here
Aside from grab transport you can also use Mycar or frenzt. Now many use Mycar and Frenzt. Grab does not care about the safety of Drivers and Riders.
Never heard of these apps before. Why do you say that Grab does not care. We are intrigued?
cannot wait for next vlog.
In a few days. Next video will be about Johor 🤗
when is it? lol
Tourism Malaysia.. Justina & Mischa are your new ambassadors. Suarez WHO??? ❤️ you girls
Hehehe , such a compliment!
You're in JB this weekend? Dun forget to try :
1. Kacang Pool Haji Larkin
2. Laksa Johor
3. Lontong Kering at Hutan Bandar
4. Mee Rebus Tulang ZZ
5. ABC at Tip Top
6. Otak-Otak
7. Celup Celup (steamboat)
and list go on and on..
I wish i could drive u around and be your guide.. FOC 😊
Really enjoy watching your vids
Don't leave Malaysia pls
you guys should try chilli pan mee at kin kin restaurant.. i heard the food is amazing..
johor is next to singapore. may be u can go to singapore after johor or after borneo
we have actually already been to Singapore (although would love to travel there again). check out our early videos. we went there in 2016
Since youbwould be going down south you might wanna T off to Tioman Island. Though it's near Johor East Coast the Island is actually part of Pahang State.
welcome to JB..
If you're visiting during or around a particular holiday (Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Christmas etc), do join in the festivities and celebration. Try to get a local to invite you if possible. Don't worry, we're a friendly lot, most will definitely invite you.
Basically what you guys did for you Hari Raya/Ramadhan videos.
One more thing that's very true is. To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia. Regards
Very true!!
Very good and useful information, girls.
My best advice is spot and ask the local people about everything especially in tourist spot places.
Im not malaysian but u should visit sabah too,a lot's of thing to visit and seafood to enjoy...sabah is seafood paradise where u can enjoy fresh fresh fresh seafood and it's cheaper...😊😊😊😊
I would highly recommend Sabah! You can check out the orangutans and proboscis monkeys there, or go to Desa cattle farm in Kundasang if you want to feel like you’re in New Zealand ❤️
Nice channel ! We subscribe ! 😄
is there any restaurant near to where you stay? (walking distance)
Yes many restaurants
Gday! I'm a half Filipino travel vlogger looking for amazing stories to tell anywhere in the world! Have you got any recommendations!?
Cyberjaya is a nice place, try to visit Puchong, good place for food.
Thank you! 🙋🏼♀️
