    Very reasonable costs, especially that condo for $53/night considering how nice and clean it is !
    Never thought I'd ever see a spicy cookie but apparently that combo works :)
    I hope they find a way to put those old buildings to good use.
    Thanks for the video JR and keep 'em coming please. Take care !!!

      Thanks Robert, some of the old buildings I think unfortunately will remain unused, just don't see too much investment and improvement going on in Malaysia except in KL. Spicy choco chip cookies were very good and spicy

    Great stuff JR and Mrs C, all of that grub looked good, think I would’ve avoided the McD’s , hotel studio looked good value, can’t wait to see footage outside👍🏿🥰🍷

    Food court #2, looks better than #1.
    Bakery looked great, but i need my brewed black coffee to survive the day.
    The Dim Sum place would probably be our “go to”. Glad to hear Miss C dish tasted like Adobo. Important for my wife.
    I never been Malaysia.
    Great title.

    Totally worth $53 dollars a night. You gotta be comfortable and have time to unwind.. when you travel so you can feel at home and enjoy! Nice place! Great view too.

    Every time I see food on a banana leaf, I think of birthdays, baptisms, quinceañeras', and of course good old pancit ! Thanks for the tour JR, that's a great price for such a well equipped room. How many floors are in that building ? I'd have to haggle for something closer to the ground myself, but its still a sweet deal.

    • @FOCUSonASIA13

      Thanks John, LOL the heights get to me as well, if i lived in a building like that would need to be a lower floors. Not sure on # of floors but it was one of, if not the tallest building in that area

      @@FOCUSonASIA13 haven't been there yet. It was on my list for last trip.... Just ran out of time. Going on the next trip. I enjoy Malaysia more and more each time i go. Just can't get any pork dishes unless you in the big city 555

    • @FOCUSonASIA13
      @FOCUSonASIA13  2 місяці тому

      Exactly and pork is #1 in my book. I am still not big on Malaysia but KL this trip was fun and Malacca good so far. I don't think I will hit Georgetown any more. To get to Malacca from KL you take 2 hr train to Pulau Sebang Tampin then its 1 hour grab ride or if coming from Singapore its like 4 hr bus ride. We are taking bus to Johor Bahru next like 3.5 hours then crossing over to Singapore after couple nights

      @@FOCUSonASIA13 Malacca was in my list the last two trips ... But just didn't happen ;). Oh well, i still enjoyed, that's all the counts. Going to try and hit it first next time, that way I'll get it in. Malaysia is a lot cheaper than Thailand in a lot of ways, even the grab taxi is so cheap! But i do miss pork dishes when I'm there!(But doesn't hurt to go without for awhile) And English is every where there. I need to explore more of the islands and diving

      You chose wisely, KL is much better for food choices and such. We are in Malacca now and think we like it better than Georgetown as well. Georgetown is a fun one time visit we've been twice now and this 2nd time wasn't as fun. Safe travels!

    Do you prefer Penang over BKK or is it basically equal .
    Using your housing, restaurant and transportation cost what one would be cheaper

    • @FOCUSonASIA13
      @FOCUSonASIA13  2 місяці тому +1

      Cannot compare the two as Georgetown is a smaller city not even close to size and convenience of Bangkok. I would not live in Georgetown but would live in Bangkok. Food cost is cheap in Georgetown but does not have the selection Thailand has.
