Instead of saying China influenced, a more appropriate term would be Chinese influence. Malaysian Chinese have their own unique identity different from the mainland Chinese or even China.
Ethically Chinese people are from China. So what’s the problem? Even I don’t feel offended. These flavours are passed down from generations and tweaked across the years.
Malaysian Chinese food are uniquely Malaysian, they may have their roots in China but we Malaysian Chinese have cultivated our own styles, there have been much local influences from other ethnic groups and the use of local resources too. In fact there are dishes you cannot find in China. You should go and try the Peranakan food.
Tapi kebanyakan China di malasia tidak bisa berbahasa melayu Secara keseluruhan Budaya mereka Bahasa dan Kebiasaan masih melekat pada negara China Tiongkok tanah besar. 😊
It’s a common misconception that Chinese dishes in Malaysia are influenced by China as a country. In reality, many Chinese communities migrated to Malaysia long before the establishment of modern China. Therefore, it’s more accurate to describe these as Chinese-influenced food styles in Malaysia. However, this perspective can be misleading, as it might lead people to think that Malaysia originally only had Malay food. In reality, Malaysia has been a cultural melting pot from the very beginning. It’s more accurate to describe it as another style of Malaysian food, alongside other Malaysian dishes influenced by various cultures. Since independence, Malaysia has always been a blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous cultures, creating a rich and diverse food heritage that is uniquely Malaysian.
Oh. Thanks for that. But there was no way I could've know that. Even the owners were saying it's chinese influenced. It's in the video lol. So please excuse me and don't be offended.
The food in Pudu ICC was cooked by mainly local Malaysians (Served😄 by Myanmar Helpers😁), unlike in Jalan Alor and Jalan Bukit Bintang where the food is cooked by immigrants and foreigners.
Actually it's chinese malaysian dish. Many customers that u saw are tourists from China, they came there to try the chinese malaysian dishes which were not found in their country.
I know they're Chinese Malaysian. I didn't know they were not found in China. I thought a variation of them was in China, am i wrong? There are differences, of course, because of Malaysia's diversity. But, there are common elements. Even the owners were saying it is Chinese inspired. :). Anyways, amazing stuff! A+ i love it so much!
@@thatevanguy1480inspired by Chinese races, not inspired by china. It's because that kind of food is also cooked and eaten by Malay and other races. Just the way it cooked and the recipe might slightly different
@@thatevanguy1480 Most of them don't have variation in China. food like Bak Kut Teh or Nyonya cuisine are definitely something from Malaysia and is very distinct than average food in Fujian. But recently there are overseas immigrant setting up shops that serve Bak Kut Teh or nyonya cuisine
@@ivantan7484 dude, i know that. i just didn't think at the time there would be an issue with the title. First video i did about Malaysia, i talk about Chinese influence since many Malaysians are from China. many years ago, yes. Now, they're Malaysians, as are the Chinese Thai...They're just Thai now. I get that. I just didn't think there would be an issue. honest mistake. will fix it later today.
As an American, you have Malaysian taste buds. Admire your interest in the local hawker street foods. Thank you for reminding the food I missed for decades especially the caramel and sweet potato cakes. It's amazing to watch the comparison between Eddie Murphy American movies and Malaysian local food. You have either made me more homesick or encouraged me to book the next flight back to eat all the yummy delicious food.
10:40 the snack is made from taro, sweet potato and chinese "nian gao" smacked together and fried, that's why is called Triple. Chinese "nian gao" is made out of glutinous rice and sugar, steamed for hours

I've been watching lots of western foreigners visited Malaysia but MISSED OUT ICC Pudu, many just tried Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai which are Malaysian Malay and Malaysian Indian food respectively. Kudos to you, going to ICC Pudu is like going for Food Feasting, you just wished you would have eaten more.
It is Malaysian Chinese because it is Malaysia version instead of China version. We normally named China if it is a China version same goes to Taiwan version, we named it as Taiwan version.
Tetap sama aja mau China dan Cina mereka Adalah China Tiongkok China secara keseluruhan dari Budaya Bahasa dan Kebiasaan adat istiadat masih melekatkan diri kepada negara China Tiongkok meskipun mereka hanya mengaku Malasia itu seperti pemanis namun mereka condong dan mengagungkan Tanah besar China 😊
The Malaysia Chinese fore fathers from southern China provinces had start arriving in Malacca least 600 years ago. Many of the food cuisine is already customized to be more spicy with some Chili and using local seafood ingredients in it. Example, there is no thick, black soya sauce Hokkien mee in China!
Nearly all chinese dishes that are found in Malaysia are created by Chinese Malaysians. They are not found in China. If you travel to China, you will definitely see the difference. Chinese dishes here are uniquely Malaysian!
I’m glad to see that you enjoyed your meal. The reason why Malaysian cuisine is so unique is because of the chemical reaction between the three major races. Although the cultures are different, it still can’t stop everyone’s pursuit of taste. This is the charm of food. Welcome to Malaysia :)

@suhanjayalian5044 You're right and also very wrong! Malaysia has different ethnicities living harmoniously under one country which is peculiar and stood out among the SE Asian countries ... each with their respective cultures of inherently good food .. Malaysian food is the marriage of all these different ethnicities which made it Malaysian owned and uniquely Malaysian!
China influence would mean u can find traces of it back im China....in Msia these dishes would be something along the line of Mee Tarik, mala hotpot or szechuan dishes. The specific food that you ate has no traces with China. It was created by the Chinese in Malaysia based on local ingredients and local taste. I hope that explaination helps. It would be great if your videos are labelled properly.
@thatevanguy1480 Chinese does not always mean China. Yes the Chinese Msian will naturally say they are Chinese but they are probably 2nd, 3rd generation of Msian Chinese so not trying to be petty. But i honestly love our Msian Chinese food and wish for them to be credited rightfully.
@thatevanguy1480 Yes, your video gotta be labelled properly. "China" has got nothing to do with it. The foods that you were experiencing are all Malaysian food (can be Malay, Chinese & Indian, being the main ones. It's a multi-cultural country, with a mix/influence in many aspects within them). To clear the confusion, China is Mainland Chinese. Overseas Chinese can be anyone of Chinese heritage in other countries, like American born Chinese (ABC), British born Chinese (BBC), Indonesian Chinese, and so on, just like Malaysian Chinese. Locally, amongst all the races, when interacting, e.g. deciding what restaurant/food to eat, then, they would say Malay food/restaurant, Chinese food/restaurant, Indian or Mamak food/restaurant, American food/restaurant, etc. Just to identify/ being specific. Internationally, a Malaysian who is of Chinese race, is known as Malaysian Chinese - nationality, then race (not Chinese Malaysian). Same goes for Malaysian Indian. Not to be mistaken for Indian national/Mainland Indian. 🙂
Our great-grandparents migrated from China to Malaysia years ago. Once they settled in Malaysia, they improved their food and cooking. In Malaysia, we have mixed races, so our food must satisfy them. In China, there is only one Chinese race.
You are wrong. China have 57 major tribes and not to mention Sub Sub ethnics minorities based districts. China country is so vast snd diverse that Mslsydia is just a small city to thrm..
@@yours_sincerely48you are right half only. Yes 52races but their government so damn stupid call all of them Chinese. Also they are only priority for mandarin and Chinese culture.

In the English that we learn Chinese is a race not a nationality. Only China they make the whole world confusing. They should call themself China ppl not Chinese. Only HanZhu is Chinese.
Malaysia Chinese dishes are mostly modified/customised to suit local climate and culture , you should also try Malaysian chinese famous Bak Kut Teh (Chinese herbs pork soup), you can't find such dish in China 😅😅😅
Foreigners tourists always always made rough assumptions. Malaysia Chinese had been in Malaysia over 2 hundred years ago. We have Malaysia own Chinese influences definitely NOT CHINA influences. Just like you.. your great great grand father came from the original homeland and would that influence what you are today??

I think almost every comments pointed out the china chinese vs malaysian chinese, so not gonna bother. But brother your humour is the best, had a good laugh at 3 AM. Keep it coming.
When local say "Chinese", we refering to ethnic group, and nothing to do with China. People Republic of China was formed in 1949, and our ancestors was here long before that.
yea, i understand that now. but, i didn't know at the time. lol. hopefully, people aren't offended by my ignorance. i'm new to Malaysia and was still learning.
That is Malaysian Chinese cuisine which is quite different from China cuisine. Ingredients, taste pretty different. Most of the local food, you can't find in China. Westerners only know "Chinese" food represented by chow mein, sweet sour pork, chop suey, wonton, lol. Come to Malaysia, so much more to "Chinese" food, and the taste and variety, second to none.
It is not accurate to say China influenced. This is totally local ethnic Chinese in Malaysia showcased their best food , especially what you eat in ICC Pudu. Also Malaysian Chinese food have tons of variety that can be change in style , i really mean whatever you can imagine, from hawker stalls to restaurant until the grand lounge of restaurant dishes.
I see that u tend to explore eatery for the locals instead of tourists. I would recommend u to explore kota damansara (LRT station=Surian) about 25km from KL, to show u that the best eatery are not only found inside city but residential township as well. Theres hundreds of restaurants there, try the famous dim sum Jin Xuan Hong kong restaurant and make a vblog about that area, cuz no foreigners have filmed there before. The property value there soars because of this eatery toenship.
wow. what a compliment! haha. Appreciate it but no way i can compete with a legend like Mark Weins. That dude is something else! He's been exploring Asia and other parts of the world for like 15 years! this is my first time in Malaysia lol. BUt, i appreciate the comment. Def motivates me to make more content lol. So, thank you! have a good day!!
Malaysia is Malaysia, China is China...im Malaysian Chinese and we have nothing same with China Chinese... 😂 Chinese is a race but we Malaysian Chinese not China pp but yes our ancestors from China but it was over hundreds years ago and our great grand parents move to Malaysia before independence under British control call malaya. We born and grew up in Malaysia so we are MALAYSIAN no China anymore, Our unique is multinations mixee culture so pls when mention Chinese Malaysian do not mention about China. I don't hate China but we really are different nationality. Even our culture, thinking, attitude, lifestyle, education and many more huge differences with China Chinese 😂 Chinese not mean China. That's China communist misused this word with put into dictionary said Chinese mean China CITIZEN. Selfish NO NO NO. Chinese is a race, people of Republic China have over 52races and Chinese just one of the races in China which they call “han" race (汉族). The rest of 51races in China totally nothing related with Chinese race but they used 1 word Chinese to represent all the races which ridiculous. So don't get confuse between Chinese and China. Chinese not equal to China. Hopefully all these information help. All online information or dictionary being edited and control by human so online information trust half will do. Last but not least, communist is an illegal in Malaysia law and Singapore law as well. We hate communist 😂
RYAN I suggest that you watch this video put tog by a group of experts and historians on the different wave of Chinese (Chinese diaspora from mainland China) throughout 500 yrs or 5 Centuries of the historic of the “Golden Chersonese/Malaya Peninsula, Malaya and finally Malaysia. Similar to how the first Europeans (Puritans) settled in New England (New world on the American continent.
Inside the middle layer brown colour is not caramel, is Chinese sticky rice cake with top and bottom purple sweet potatoes and orange sweet potatoes, not pumpkin 😂.
If u need good taste coffe..just say milk coffee..or in malay kopi susu..if coffee with sugar we said kopi o in malay..kopi kosong mean coffee without sugar or milk..just for your info..
If you want to get good coffee, while ordering it, mention 'KAW" and "Kurang Manis'. Then you'll have the best coffee. Malaysian tend to have a lot sweeter than average in the West. Haha !
Yea, i went to Bungkus in KL sentral and the coffee is amazing but Way too sweet, even at 25% lol. The kaw kaw coffee is amazing there. I bothered them by asking for 10% sweet after my first visit, then it was perfect! love it!
China and Malaysian Chinese are not the same. A large majority of us especially those below age 50 do not want to be associated with them this way. We only descended from the same root, but in the modern day, 3-4 generations later and without the heavy influence of communism and a brainwashed firewalled society, we're no longer the same. That's like saying white Americans are still the same as their British, Irish, German, and Scandinavian counterparts today. This is very ignorant title aimed at getting reactions and views, 3 days since it's been posted and still refuse to edit after so many similar comments as mine. Don't feign with "i don't know", "i'm new" and "my bad, will change" excuses without any follow up corrections, unethical creators with intentions like this is what causes misinformation and more ignorance. This is why there are classes about ethical journalism, something which many content creators these days never learn or go to school for.
You're eating Malaysian Chinese cuisine. Not China-inspired food. We have our own culture and identity. Saying it's China-inspired is extremely disrespectful. Please educate yourself and do better.
I know you have your own culture. You didn't see my other videos. I'm away it is Malaysian food and that the people originally from China have been in Malaysia for a long time. I just didn't think there is a difference between Chinese inspired vs. China inspired. Can you tell me? i'm curious.
@thatevanguy1480 I’ve seen some of your responses, where you mention you didn’t realise there’s a difference, and that "there's no way you could have known". But honestly, a quick search into Malaysia’s history and cultural makeup would very quickly shed some light. Malaysia is a multicultural country, and while we have a significant Chinese community, we’re not fresh-off-the-boat Chinese people from China. That’s the key distinction. When you say “China-inspired,” you’re missing the nuance, and you're disrespecting Malaysians. The food, culture, and traditions have evolved here over generations; deeply rooted in the Malaysian context. We’re part of the Malaysian Chinese diaspora, and that comes with a different set of traditions, flavours, and histories. It’s not just about the food - it’s about identity. Saying something is China-inspired when it’s actually Malaysian Chinese doesn’t just mislabel the dish, it erases the local flavour and history that makes it unique, and the people behind it. So, yeah, there’s a big difference, and it’s important to recognise it. And as content creator, you should do you due diligence.
@@themonsterbrat so, coming to your country, trying my best to show how awesome your country is, sharing some of the history about your country, sharing multiple locations, also mentioning many many times that Malaysia is a melting pot...and you still accuse me of being disrespectful towards Malaysians? You should know that is not my intention. Title is one thing but in the actual video, I mention that Malaysia is a melting pot of Chinese. I even talk about when many Chinese started to come to Malaysia in my first video about Penang. and you act like i did no research because of the title of this video. if anyone is disrespectful, it is you. I am learning a ton about Malaysia and i think i did pretty good for a foreigner in explaining a bit about the interesting history, as i am learning more. Don't expect me to be an expert. But it's ok. we all make mistakes. i made a mistake and you made a mistake. we're all doing our best.
@thatevanguy1480 You've asked me to tell you, so I told you, and now you're defensive. Intentions don’t outweigh outcomes. Mislabelling and misinforming ultimately shape the wrong perceptions, and when you misrepresent a culture, you diminish its identity and history. Malaysian Chinese people and our food are not “China-inspired.” We are part of Malaysia’s unique and complex multicultural fabric, and we don't need you to misrepresent us. You talk as if you're doing us a favour too, which says a lot.
Hahahaha.... what kind of food do you eat every day in the USA bro..? And what does American food taste like bro? I love seeing your reactions after eating Asian food, especially Indonesian food..😂
Correct, he is in pudu area mostly Chinese food, there is one restoran sururi which has good Malay soup. More Malay food in kampung baru area, I like kak som nasi kerabu... Brickfields and bangsar has good Indian food... Chow kit area is a mix of everything can even get Pakistani food
I love eating at Chinese restaurants but i will avoid 3 things - too much ginger that will killed the real taste - too much sesame seed oil that i cant stand the smell - ricewine + fish sauce The rest i am OK. Price always affordable if its pricey its worth the value buy. Eat till you fat in Malaysia hahhahaa 😀
You like so much chinese culture, i suggest you go and visit China. Malaysia dominant culture is Malay. The fact that you are obsessed only with chinese food, chinatown etc, it means you are not discovering Msia, but obssession with chinese anything. You should go back to the chinatown in New York!!
The world do believe that you are in the wrong place talking about chinese culture and food. Malaysia is not about chinatown and chinese food okay. I totally dislike your content. No respect for Malay culture.
About 2 yrs ago, I ordered 2 plate of Dimsums, charged me 34 ringgits. That's more expensive than eating in a high class restaurant like 锦选. Yea, this place very China, full of scams!
Instead of saying China influenced, a more appropriate term would be Chinese influence. Malaysian Chinese have their own unique identity different from the mainland Chinese or even China.

yea, i understand that now. but, i didn't know at the time. lol. hopefully, people aren't offended by my ignorance. i'm new to Malaysia and was still learning.
That is Malaysian Chinese cuisine which is quite different from China cuisine. Ingredients, taste pretty different. Most of the local food, you can't find in China. Westerners only know "Chinese" food represented by chow mein, sweet sour pork, chop suey, wonton, lol. Come to Malaysia, so much more to "Chinese" food, and the taste and variety, second to none.
It is not accurate to say China influenced.
This is totally local ethnic Chinese in Malaysia showcased their best food , especially what you eat in ICC Pudu.
Also Malaysian Chinese food have tons of variety that can be change in style , i really mean whatever you can imagine, from hawker stalls to restaurant until the grand lounge of restaurant dishes.
Hi Evan ..Come to Terengganu. East Coast Malaysia..lot of food here..
Icc pudu. I hv been there. I was only disappointed with dim sum there but other stuff was good like char siew, siew yok etc etc.
I see that u tend to explore eatery for the locals instead of tourists.
I would recommend u to explore kota damansara (LRT station=Surian) about 25km from KL, to show u that the best eatery are not only found inside city but residential township as well. Theres hundreds of restaurants there, try the famous dim sum Jin Xuan Hong kong restaurant and make a vblog about that area, cuz no foreigners have filmed there before. The property value there soars because of this eatery toenship.
Taste comes first..health comes second!❤❤😊😊
Make sure to try local Malay food it definitely brings you to heaven!
I am malaysian love to see how foreigner enjoy our food and happiness expression.
Ahhh you missed my favorite Teochew seafood noodle (RM20) and crispy popiah ❤
U must try Chinese bbq pork belly rice
Man, u have the potential to be the next Mark Weins

He's been exploring Asia and other parts of the world for like 15 years! this is my first time in Malaysia lol. BUt, i appreciate the comment. Def motivates me to make more content lol. So, thank you! have a good day!!
Trump video clip make me laugh😂
I was waiting for ur hilarious rant and dont need to wait long for it😂ur comment on d man buns just made me died🤣
Malaysia is Malaysia, China is China...im Malaysian Chinese and we have nothing same with China Chinese... 😂
Chinese is a race but we Malaysian Chinese not China pp but yes our ancestors from China but it was over hundreds years ago and our great grand parents move to Malaysia before independence under British control call malaya. We born and grew up in Malaysia so we are MALAYSIAN no China anymore, Our unique is multinations mixee culture so pls when mention Chinese Malaysian do not mention about China. I don't hate China but we really are different nationality. Even our culture, thinking, attitude, lifestyle, education and many more huge differences with China Chinese 😂
Chinese not mean China. That's China communist misused this word with put into dictionary said Chinese mean China CITIZEN. Selfish NO NO NO.
Chinese is a race, people of Republic China have over 52races and Chinese just one of the races in China which they call “han" race (汉族). The rest of 51races in China totally nothing related with Chinese race but they used 1 word Chinese to represent all the races which ridiculous. So don't get confuse between Chinese and China. Chinese not equal to China. Hopefully all these information help. All online information or dictionary being edited and control by human so online information trust half will do. Last but not least, communist is an illegal in Malaysia law and Singapore law as well. We hate communist 😂
Please put word Malaysia below the flag.And also not china but Chinese influence.
Hainan coffee is the perfect one for me
5:56 The women actually said coffece c,in malay we say kopi c means coffee with milk but less sugar
Kopi C means Coffee with Carnation (brand) milk.
Kopi "C" = coffee with evaporate milk, like Carnation. It's no sugar added.
RYAN I suggest that you watch this video put tog by a group of experts and historians on the different wave of Chinese (Chinese diaspora from mainland China) throughout 500 yrs or 5 Centuries of the historic of the “Golden Chersonese/Malaya Peninsula, Malaya and finally Malaysia. Similar to how the first Europeans (Puritans) settled in New England (New world on the American continent.
Lala noddles is nice.
May I know the name of this food market is ? The bun and seafood noodles looks really good . Thank you for sharing all the good food.
ICC Pudu
Inside the middle layer brown colour is not caramel, is Chinese sticky rice cake with top and bottom purple sweet potatoes and orange sweet potatoes, not pumpkin 😂.
If u need good taste coffe..just say milk coffee..or in malay kopi susu..if coffee with sugar we said kopi o in malay..kopi kosong mean coffee without sugar or milk..just for your info..
🎉🎉
Wow you sure can eat a lot!
If u wanna try a best coffe ... U must order ICE COFFE O (no milk) (suggest) or COFFE ICE (milk).. just try it at indian restaurant .
Thanks for sharing , but we are Malaysian Chinese , not China :)
Great Video, But the automated subtitles is pretty bad. especially when in loud place i can barely hear you speak and the subtitles is not helping😂
Hi. Do you kno that Kuala Lumpur is known among the locals as KL. You could also just say KL, it's simpler and easier
If you want to get good coffee, while ordering it, mention 'KAW" and "Kurang Manis'. Then you'll have the best coffee. Malaysian tend to have a lot sweeter than average in the West. Haha !
Yea, i went to Bungkus in KL sentral and the coffee is amazing but Way too sweet, even at 25% lol. The kaw kaw coffee is amazing there. I bothered them by asking for 10% sweet after my first visit, then it was perfect! love it!
China and Malaysian Chinese are not the same. A large majority of us especially those below age 50 do not want to be associated with them this way. We only descended from the same root, but in the modern day, 3-4 generations later and without the heavy influence of communism and a brainwashed firewalled society, we're no longer the same. That's like saying white Americans are still the same as their British, Irish, German, and Scandinavian counterparts today. This is very ignorant title aimed at getting reactions and views, 3 days since it's been posted and still refuse to edit after so many similar comments as mine. Don't feign with "i don't know", "i'm new" and "my bad, will change" excuses without any follow up corrections, unethical creators with intentions like this is what causes misinformation and more ignorance. This is why there are classes about ethical journalism, something which many content creators these days never learn or go to school for.
At last a traveler tasting the real McCoy.
holyshit that jim carry clip 🤣
Btw malaysia chinese not equal to china, just fyi
Tetap sama China dan Cina jika disebut dengan lidah tetap mereka China Tiongkok tidak ada yang beda
Ahh...you missed the coffee boiled in claypot
he don't know how to separate between Malaysian Chinese and china (as long as yellow) what next sanctions
Coffee with sugar = COFFEE O
ICE COFFE WITH MILK = ICE COFFE or COFFE C
Get coffee from place like this
I personally recommend McDonald black coffee in the best in Malaysia , especially during breakfast . by the way please don't put ice in it
You are king of eating bro 😅😅
That's not correct. it's Malaysian Chinese. that's the term we used. country before ethnicity
Chinese cooking is done basically with a wok and ladle. No need all kinds of fanciful pans and pots.
Just want to say thank you for promoting, sincerely
You're eating Malaysian Chinese cuisine. Not China-inspired food. We have our own culture and identity. Saying it's China-inspired is extremely disrespectful. Please educate yourself and do better.
I know you have your own culture. You didn't see my other videos. I'm away it is Malaysian food and that the people originally from China have been in Malaysia for a long time. I just didn't think there is a difference between Chinese inspired vs. China inspired. Can you tell me? i'm curious.
@thatevanguy1480 I’ve seen some of your responses, where you mention you didn’t realise there’s a difference, and that "there's no way you could have known". But honestly, a quick search into Malaysia’s history and cultural makeup would very quickly shed some light. Malaysia is a multicultural country, and while we have a significant Chinese community, we’re not fresh-off-the-boat Chinese people from China. That’s the key distinction.
When you say “China-inspired,” you’re missing the nuance, and you're disrespecting Malaysians. The food, culture, and traditions have evolved here over generations; deeply rooted in the Malaysian context. We’re part of the Malaysian Chinese diaspora, and that comes with a different set of traditions, flavours, and histories.
It’s not just about the food - it’s about identity. Saying something is China-inspired when it’s actually Malaysian Chinese doesn’t just mislabel the dish, it erases the local flavour and history that makes it unique, and the people behind it.
So, yeah, there’s a big difference, and it’s important to recognise it. And as content creator, you should do you due diligence.
@@themonsterbrat so, coming to your country, trying my best to show how awesome your country is, sharing some of the history about your country, sharing multiple locations, also mentioning many many times that Malaysia is a melting pot...and you still accuse me of being disrespectful towards Malaysians? You should know that is not my intention. Title is one thing but in the actual video, I mention that Malaysia is a melting pot of Chinese. I even talk about when many Chinese started to come to Malaysia in my first video about Penang. and you act like i did no research because of the title of this video. if anyone is disrespectful, it is you. I am learning a ton about Malaysia and i think i did pretty good for a foreigner in explaining a bit about the interesting history, as i am learning more. Don't expect me to be an expert. But it's ok. we all make mistakes. i made a mistake and you made a mistake. we're all doing our best.
@thatevanguy1480 You've asked me to tell you, so I told you, and now you're defensive. Intentions don’t outweigh outcomes. Mislabelling and misinforming ultimately shape the wrong perceptions, and when you misrepresent a culture, you diminish its identity and history. Malaysian Chinese people and our food are not “China-inspired.” We are part of Malaysia’s unique and complex multicultural fabric, and we don't need you to misrepresent us. You talk as if you're doing us a favour too, which says a lot.
It's yam and rice cake
i agree. ginger wine noodle soup is great.. but for winter.
Hahahaha.... what kind of food do you eat every day in the USA bro..? And what does American food taste like bro? I love seeing your reactions after eating Asian food, especially Indonesian food..😂
Bro try Malaya and Indian foods. Absolutely U like it.
Correct, he is in pudu area mostly Chinese food, there is one restoran sururi which has good Malay soup. More Malay food in kampung baru area, I like kak som nasi kerabu... Brickfields and bangsar has good Indian food... Chow kit area is a mix of everything can even get Pakistani food
Malay food - single dimension with sambal.
Not china, is Malaysian chinese, please pay respect
Eat ramly Burger
Looks like you just came out of gym after a bowl of la la mee.
I love eating at Chinese restaurants but i will avoid 3 things
- too much ginger that will killed the real taste
- too much sesame seed oil that i cant stand the smell
- ricewine + fish sauce
The rest i am OK. Price always affordable if its pricey its worth the value buy. Eat till you fat in Malaysia hahhahaa 😀
Tunnel vision content.
You like so much chinese culture, i suggest you go and visit China. Malaysia dominant culture is Malay. The fact that you are obsessed only with chinese food, chinatown etc, it means you are not discovering Msia, but obssession with chinese anything. You should go back to the chinatown in New York!!
i swear to god your nose is something else. you sniffed out the famous stalls in ICC pudu
Chinese not equal to China, our Malaysia Chinese food not same as China
Get married & stay in malaysia 😂
please change ur title dont put china in malaysia we are chinese but not china, not every chinese is from china
i will tonight. thanks and my apologies.
The world do believe that you are in the wrong place talking about chinese culture and food. Malaysia is not about chinatown and chinese food okay. I totally dislike your content. No respect for Malay culture.
About 2 yrs ago, I ordered 2 plate of Dimsums, charged me 34 ringgits. That's more expensive than eating in a high class restaurant like 锦选. Yea, this place very China, full of scams!
