    The breakfast chicken rice you guys had at Jalan Alor, the soup is not for dipping your chicken instead for drinking. Dipping your chicken in diluted its flavors, best way is to have the chicken meat with its soya sauce with rice together and eating chicken meat with its sauce only will be more salty by itself. As for drinks, always mix them up before drinking as the sugar layer is always at the bottom in majority of Malaysian drinks.

      Usually, if you’re given rice on a plate, it’s easier to eat with fork & spoon (don’t be shy to ask for cutleries if they are not available on the table). You use chopsticks if you are given a bowl of rice.
      The fried dough, yes, goes nice with coffee & coconut jam called kaya (try it). My late father-in-law (a Canadian) liked it a lot.

    to be honest, for me petaling street or jalan alur is not the best place to review malaysian food. and as a tourist attraction, it is also a bit expensive. you can try nasi lemak at Nasi Lemak Wanjo kampung baru KL, roti canai and teh tarik at any mamak restaurant, ramli burger (street food), nasi kerabu, char koay teow, laksa, nasi kandar etc.

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  Рік тому +3

      You are most likely correct Lanz as we didn't find the food to be the best, but for our short and limited time there it was quick and easy really.
      I think we even mentioned it was more catered for tourists and you can tell. When we get back to Malaysia we will definitely be trying more of the Malaysian dishes and exploring more as we'd both love to see more of the country other than just KL.

    Btw, before you eat Malaysian foods or drinks please ask the sellers how to consume it otherwise you'll get it wrong way..
    Please visit the authentic Malaysian cuisines (Malay, Chinese, Indian) in Kampung Baru, Chow Kit Road Jalan TAR-Masjid India, Brickfields etc.. Try famous Nasi Lemak, roti canai, murtabak, authentic Malay satay, laksa, fried kwayteow, teh tarik, chendol etc..
    Jalan Alor foods are mostly from outside like Thais and Chinese.. and not really cheap either..
    Alcohol is cheap in tax free zone in Langkawi and the Forest City, Johor, .. Please explore more, and check it out..👍🇲🇾😊

    a friend of mine went to Hong Kong n ordered some food.. on the table they hv chinese tea served in a bowl.. my friend drank it before somebody told him the tea meant to wash ur chopsticks off the greasy stuff u’re having n not for drinking… 🤣🤣.. so i understand when u guys used the soup to dip ur chicken.. 🤣🤣🤣.. guess no one there to guide u.. the soup meant to b drank whilst having the meal or u can pour it a bit onto the rice… 😅😅

    When in Rome do what the romans do. You hate the durian but we love it!! It’s the king of fruits , so when you in a foreign place , respect the culture , if locals like it, try it at least once. Tone down the hate, there’s plenty of fruits you never tasted before being in ‘1st world’ country like yours .We have great food compared to the west! You need a guide then assuming everything you see here

      @Continental Coxon's some of your research on buildings and food is not accurate. Example, jalan alor is not only thai food, they served all types including western and seafood, malaysian lesser extend, korean, vietnamese.. Try asking people and not Google. But the street art is true, it is to rejuvenate an old neighbourhood and is found in most towns and cities in Malaysia.

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  Рік тому

      @keangwooichoo6138 I think we said it was mainly Thai that we could see when we'd walked up the street. We did not google this one, it was just an observation from walking about there earlier that day.
      We also said near the start we would make mistake as we knew not everything we do is going to be right, but it is a learning process.

      @Continental Coxon's I am not sure what you ordered, but satay almost always has peanut sauce. Satay is indonesian / malaysian food. Not sure if thailand has satay. The oil is from peanut (naturally).

      It was a Thai yellow curry that I ordered. Usually made from a paste and coconut milk.

    • @keangwooichoo6138
      @keangwooichoo6138 Рік тому +1

      @Continental Coxon's not sure about that. Although there are thai communities in Malaysia, I can say Chinese and indians here do not often consume it. Malays usually like tomyam. That is about it. Perhaps the occasional coconut glutinous rice with mango. This is because the green chilli is spicy and plus sour, stomach cannot handle it too much.
