Why Malaysian Family Recipes Are Key To This Café's Success | Line Around The Block

- At Kopitiam, you can try traditional Malaysian dishes, and experience traditional Malaysian coffee shop culture. Kopitiam is co-owned and operated by Chef Kyo Pang, a Malaysian refugee who has taken asylum in the United States, as it is illegal to be queer in her home country. A majority of the trinkets in Kopitiam, as well as some ingredients, are from Malaysia, purchased by her family and shipped to NYC. Insider stopped by Kopitiam to taste Kyo's take on generational family recipes, and try Malaysia's national dish - spicy and savory Nasi Lemak.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This video shows the dish, Nasi Lemak, being eaten with chopsticks, which is not how the dish is traditionally eaten. At 5:10 in this video we say that Nasi Lemak is topped with white rice. Traditionally, the dish is made with coconut milk rice.
At 4:09 Moonlynn Tsai, former co-owner of Kopitiam says, "In Malaysia, you can still get hanged if you're LGBTQ." There aren't laws in Malaysia that state members of the LGBTQ community, or those who participate in gay or lesbian sexual activity, will be hanged or put to death. There are recent documented cases of LGBTQ discrimination in the country under Sharia Law, which applies to Muslilims in Malaysia, and which has resulted in punishment. There are also additional documented cases of extra-legal discrimination.

Why Malaysian Family Recipes Are Key To This Café's Success | Line Around The Block
everything looks nice BUT.. no one eats Nasi Lemak using chopsticks.. :)
Agree
She eats abit and goes. MM OMG. Smfh
I am sure the food is nice at this cafe but yeah.. no one eats Nasi Lemak with chopsticks.. you either use your hands or a fork and spoon..
@@gary_tms XD
There is no spoon on the table bro
I know Malaysia is a fusion of Malay, Indian and Chinese but they don't use chopsticks especially on their well known dish.
thats true
Ikrrr 😂😂
We only use chopsticks on the Chinese dishes
That’s so true Malaysian never used chopsticks to eat nasi lemak
Felt like food insider just stereotyped Asians accidentally. A subtlety of racism.
I am from Singapore, the neighbouring country of Malaysia. I am very sure Malaysia's law DO NOT hang anyone from the LGBTQ community. And why is there a need to state that in the video when one could just celebrate Asian cuisine without any such farce?
yeah. thanks for bringing this up. Literally nobody is hanged for being LGBT. And it also only applied to muslim
Its not western media without something homosexual in it..
Globalist trying to push down their things? Well media would always be media regardless west or east.. if its only about food, not quite the attraction, so to 'spice' it up, add on some 'sambal' to make it tasty 😆😆😆
@@abdullahzubair3922 well there is that whole debate for the past year or so where the government wants to enact sharia law on non-Muslim which is a complete fuckery and bullshit. Also lgbt may not be hanged but the government are ACTIVELY seeking out Lgbt ppl and putting them to JAIL.
PLS do not downplay this shit when its real or if u are not part of the lgbt community in Malaysia. Its 2020 and honestly getting jailed for 10+ years just for being gay is JUST AS FUCKED UP and that applies to all races.
Christopher Keroro yea but the sharia law was rejected in the parliament because Malaysia’s governing system is democratic and there is more than 1 race and religion at play here. It wasn’t the government that wanted to, it was SOME people in the government. And I have to disagree that the government is ACTIVELY looking for gays or lesbians or transgenders to put them in jail. I do know that, the approach is different if you’re a Muslim.
Eating Nasi lemak with chopsticks 😂 Malaysians be like 'dude hold my sambal belacan'
Anonymous 00 hai
Hahahhahahaha they doesn't know we eat Nasi Lemak with bare hand
She wants to enjoy the flavor on each grain of rice with the chopsticks
Anonymous 00 No one reacts regarding the (lack of) skills?
Oh damn 😂
I'm malaysian chinese ,i'm pretty sure we don't use chopsticks to eat Nasi Lemak
I'm form Malaysia and yes we don't used chopsticks while eating nasi lemak. XD
True
Yes lol
And bakuteh is *D E L I C O U S*
We use hand or spoon
We are not full on asian
Eating nasi lemak with hand: normal.
Eating nasi lemak with spoon and fork: also normal.
But, eating nasi lemak with chopsticks: unbelievable. This is new invention. She's not from Earth.
dude she could barely get any rice with it
Haha..agree...and I am chinese, eat with fork and spoon, my sons eat with hands.
If anyone catches me using chopsticks to eat a single kachang, 1 ikan bilis and 2 grains of nasi lemak rice, please smack me across the face asap.
@@sovietcupcakes328 how can even to do that..use chop stick just to keep the kacang is not fell is impossible
@@margaretlim9180 you malaysian or chinese?
You'll not get hanged for practicing lgbtq in Malaysia. You only get hanged if you eat nasi lemak using chopstick
You got us in the second half
😂😂😂😂
Yes chopstick with nasi lemak are offense to us
Go tell 'em!
Its kinda disturbing seeing people eating nasi lemak with chopsticks
Its painful to watch, not even Malaysian chinese do that
Lol
@Jade use spoon and fork or hands
@Jade traditionally nasi lemak is eaten using our right hands in malaysia but often times we just use spoon and forks. People kept mentioning the chopsticks is because we never use chopsticks in Malaysia
@@fudgerace4356 same
Imagine eating pasta or steak with chopsticks. That’s exactly how we Malaysian feel right now.
Not that it’s a crime.
😂🤣😂
it's not a crime. its a *war crime*
I feel bad but sometimes I don't too, I eat spaghetti with chopsticks sometimes 😂
I’ve seen other Malaysians eating burgers and pizzas with a fork and knife so...
death glare satu malaysia nanti tengok dia
Looks really appetizing and tasty.
But had to say this, before you publish anything about a country's law, please get the fact right.
No one has ever been hang in Malaysia for being an LGBTQ and the newspaper cuts you shown are about laws which applicable only to Muslims which the owner of the shop is not. You cannot say seeking an asylum when you're not sentence for an offence. She stated that she was afraid of people and her family judging her not from the law enforcement.
Though there are discriminations against the community, what are not should not be overstated.
Ps: really love this channel but please, put the agenda aside from food from it's contents. This time, it had gone beyond subliminal and become blatant advocation.
Never in my mind for my comment to be seen as condemning any party. Though this might be too big to ask, Please, for those who are replying to this comment, refrain from making any comment about the shop owner. We are not her acquaintance, we do not know her real circumstances. So please don't make any assumption.
Sorry, long posting.
Thanks... i am about to comment about that... the video was misleading about the laws in malaysia.
Smells like immigration or asylum fraud tbh
Exactly true. Couldn’t get my head around her reason to leave Malaysia; and there is no such hanging for ppl here who are part of the LGBTQ community.
If you claim gay, you can get asylum( immigration permit) lots easier. I think she is using her “gay” as an excuse to get asylum just for better opportunities.
LMAO here come the homophobic Malaysians
Never heard of someone getting hanged because of LGBTQ. Sajat seems fine to me.
It was the old time. Now while it is still illegal, it's not as bad as before
@@blitzmustang1588 what? The law on this thing hasn't changed for so long...what old time r you talking about?
@@drhazimanm.hamdan3709 before people can be beat up on the street just for being gay or lesbian. Nowadays it's not as bad as before
@@blitzmustang1588 certainly not eleven years ago

You should try this drink called "Milo ice"
Roti canai with Milo or Kopi a great start for breakfast
Hell yeah
nahh... milo isn't really Malaysian. Try Teh Tarikk!
@@ax8621 Yeah thats a really good drink too!
@@foongjunemeng8935 Oh every time I go back to Malaysia I usually go to my uncle's kedai he makes Roti Chanai and I usually eat Roti Chanai and have Milo Ice 🤗🤗
Seeing her smile when talking about the dishes and doing the food makes me so happy.
@Iktidar Alam I was talking about the owner...but I also like the host it's her job anyway so I don't mind.
Finally Malaysian Food got reviewed by Food Insider...👍
Thanks Medha proud of you as producer 👍💪🥰
I want to go to Malaysia and eat delicious food.

If you had any chance to visit Malaysia, I suggest you to go to Penang/Pulau Pinang because it's famous for its "Food Heaven" title
Please do come to Malaysia... There are a lot of food you can try..
I only smell it 😊
@@chaewonpupuz Thank you for the good information 👍👍👍
PLEASE USE SPOON TO EAT THE NASI LEMAK,NOT CHOPSTICK. ty :)

@@edwardchua1248 Diorang tak reti pakai tangan kot. Takpe, pakai sudu pun bole...
@@edlenorgaeron8003 pulak. the proper way is using right hand kan. boleh pulak pakai sudu? habis, asal pakai chopstick salah pulok? kecoh la korg ni. dia nak makan pakai kaki pun lantak la. bego.
@@Armz69 Weh, lama kot tak nampak orang makan pakai tangan...
At least makan pakai sudu ade pekdahnye.
Suka hati dia la janji dia makan,masing masing ada style memasing
Malaysian coffee is awesome! Didn’t realize they were one of 2 shops to sell that coffee
This is part of our daily food culture. Though these days every thing is franchised and upscale. :(
My hometown Kampar coffee is awesome too. Just plain kopi o is just as good as americano and much cheaper . Penang also famous for kopi ..
Foong June Meng Awesome! They sell kopi-o here too. Really like the taste and can’t wait to go back to Malaysia to have it all there. We loved Penang!
for me, Ipoh Old Town White coffee is the best
Honestly the cucumbers were an overkill 😂 I think 3 small slices should be enough
youtube punya pasal, kalau tak sikit je tu😂
I like loads of cucumbers with my n. Lemak.
@@snowmoon8050 same
I was literally shouting in the midnight when I saw her using the chopsticks like that...
And for nasi lemak???🌚
I rather them just use a spoon than the chopsticks to scoop the rice up.
Nah Use hands
So glad they were able to reopen!
Seeing people eating asian style white rice using chopstick
Me: meh, that's normal
*Seeing people eating nasi lemak using chopstick*
Me: *That's Heresy*
My friend who work at immigration at UK told me that foreigner always use LGBT to extend their stay and seek asylum at certain country.
So proud of you guys... Thank you for sharing with the world...❤️❤️❤️
Oh Malaysian food looks AMAZING😛
Mawen Mendoza but do not eat with chopsticks

@@shazu0719 * bare hand
Haziq Choi thank you
Eat Nasi Lemak with chopstick...
Malaysian: wait that's illegal
Malaysian : some use bare right hand to eat, some use fork and spoon.
Me react to an innocent girl who don't know about our culture and use chopstick : omg what was that
Ikr lmao 😂😂
Hello from 🇩🇪 Nice to Looking the Clip. FOOD Look very Delicious Too. I believe it very amazing food
💐
Proud of Kopitiam in US. Will definitely try once I visit US 😂😂
Yessss Kopitiam is awesome!
It will take her forever to eat nasi lemak with chopsticks
i bet that’s the best coffee you’ll ever drink! 🤤
People should always try new recipes :D .. i like to try wierd and unique recipes and with that experience i create my own mug meals.
thanks for such wonderful videos. Keeps us going and hunger strikes
Welcome to malaysian cuisine my fellow americans and europeans
Good to see Malaysian food on Food Insider 😋
noooooo don’t use chopsticks to eat nasi lemak T___T
Its like using knife and fork to eat roti canai wey hahahahahaha
Gourmet lifestyle.... Hahahaha
The nasi lemak Looks good with generous amount of anchovies. I wonder how much it cost. These days in hawker centres, they only give you a few strands.
Im falling in lovr with the one eating the food,😍😍😍😍
Finally love from malaysia
Awesome and so jealous! I live in China so no chance to visit soon. Keep up the amazing work. Love will prevail.
I think she though that the rice is like japanese or korean rice which they can use chopstick.
Queen Aquila yeah but still in Korea rice is often eaten with spoon
lol yeah
You can use chopsticks to eat normal rice la.. noob.
Nah not in Korea it's not that polite action. Some elders might feel offended.
Koreans eat rice with spoon though.
Those who dislikes the video haven't taste the Malaysian delicacies yet
Guess people are disliking the video because it is a torture to watch her struggle with the chopsticks
Omg you ruined the nasi lemak with those chopsticks 😂😂
And sambal too little
Calling Uncle Roger if this is ok to eat with chopsticks 🤣
But hey great video!! Didnt know NY got Malaysian dish!
It’s good to see them been happy with each other .
God Bless Malaysia🇲🇾
So nice
Eating rice with chopsticks breaks my mother's heart
This episode touches the deepest part of me and my identity. The host is Muslim, just like me. And the both owners are LGBTIQ individuals, just like me. I am from Indonesia, it's similar to Malaysia in how the society treats us as homosexual. And the story of their struggle is real, living in a muslim majority country as minority. Thank you Insider ! I hope more and more episodes have inspiring background story. ❤️🧡💜💙💚💛
Kopitiam accually stands for coffee shop there's thousands around Malaysia.
*Does the word "tiam" literally mean "spot" or "shop"?*
I speak *Vietnamese* , where it *sounds both like* our word for *"spot"* (except we spell it as "điểm") as well as *"store/shop"* (which we spell as "tiệm").
Actually, it's Hainanese pronunciation. It's more like "kopi-diam" with the T more softer. Maybe Vietnamese had similar sounds because of the proximity to Hainan Island.
@@Suite_annamite Hi I am teochew from Singapore. Diam in my Chinese dialect means a shop
That mangkuk so small how do you eat xD
cantiknya nasi lemak dia..bangga anak2 Malaysia dapat perkenalkan makanan Malaysia dan di anugerah antara restoran terbaik oleh media di sana. so proud of you guys
But they’re gays
I'm so happy and proud for those, hope someday i can taste their cooks
Pe benda nie makan pakai chopsticks? Sohai ke?
Proud to know a Malaysian restaurant is popular there.
Finally, my country's national dish getting the recognition it deserved👏👏
This is the earliest I’ve been here on a Tasty video
Kesian pulak tgok minah Parsi tuh makan nasi lemak guna chopstick🤣🤣
Greetings from Malaysia '😁
Your videos are getting better.
Eating nasi lemak with chopsticks, welcome to earth!
It’s funny how she only took the tiniest bite and she loved it already,gurl you have take the biggest bite then you can say how good it is😌😌
oh god, that chopsticks
A Lunar New Year gift from Insider
Now that is a food reporter that I like again 👍🏼 she is cool
My uncles had gone to Malaysia last year
They said it was one most beautiful places they ever saw and the food was another level
Woi, Nasi Lemak is eaten using your hand or spoon, NO CHOPSTICKS.
Good for you too, looks fantastic!👌
Kyo.... I'd watched one of your video from tasty... Glad your kopitiam is doing well now thumbs up!
Hold up. Those dishes probably represent only like 5% of Malaysian flavours and they love it. Should we export more??
Indonesian here. Its said that in order to be able to go global, you need to focus on few specific dishes first. Example could be seen from Thais with Tom Yum & Viets with Pho. I understand that our countries similarly have rich culinary culture, but maybe we should push my nasi goreng & your nasi lemak to be known by the international general population first before proceeding with exporting the other 95%.
@@AmjaddTheGreat U r right, they barely know our country tho, let alone with the our diversity in people, culture n food
Malaysian 🙋
No, we Malaysian do NOT use chopsticks to eat Nasi Lemak, but we are represented so that’s something to be proud about.
👍Bless her. 💞
"I've become a comedian...in my mind." Ha ha!
She thinks she is funny but actually not at all
that's my people from Malaysia wooo
I'm rly proud as a Malaysian🙏🙏

yummmmmmmm
Food Insider, you better watch out when Chef Wan or Uncle Roger react to this video. No one eats Nasi Lemak using chopsticks! 😡
The pandan I’m familiar with has a stronger color. Like; SUPER green. That pandan looks super creamy so I’d like to try it (:
Wow! Interesting
No one:

Really nice!
Why do I see you literally everywhere
@@jaylerkwan517 hahahah right?!
O.o
Ok
yeah～I’m so proud for being Malaysian
For all those butthurt with the fact *hanged to death* , she said its in the *LAW!!!!* . It doesn't matter if someone has been hanged, but the fact that it's in the law means it's a possibility to occur since legally it's fine.
It's NOT IN THE LAW. Stop lying for her.
Goshhh stop lying🙄 Its MALAYSIA not Brunei. Malaysia does not hang someone for being LGBTQ.
Seeing Kyo, I feel proud to be a Malaysian & also a Penangite 😍
but why, how can someone not see their family in 11years-
Well presented... the trick is ??
I would love to work with you guys in exploring African cultural foods 😍😍I hope it could be possible 😊
For once the host does justice to the food.
Please use spoon or hand to eat nasi lemak please.. Sohai
Orang promote makanan Malaysia di luar negara tapi kamu panggil dia sohai... Haiz...
Food looks awesome, the Kaya toast, the blue rice with sweet coconut and coffee.
However, the misconception of chopsticks 🥢 is essential for Asian food do make me laugh. ,😂🤣
So FYI people there is spoons, forks is available it’s blurred in the background, it is possible they cater to the community they are which is predominantly Chinese.
