Teh(Tea) Halia(Ginger) & Teh Masala Chai is a different beverages, not Teh Masala Chai in Malaysia is called Teh Halia... Actually, the real Nasi Kandar is just Plain White with mix of gravy pour into a rice, vegetables & proteins..when you use nasi beriani, is no more called nasi kandar, just normal nasi beriani with vege, protein & gravy.. 😊
I'm Malaysian and no matter where I go I will still miss my country's foods.Because nothing else can beat them.
🥹🥹🥹
There are like 12-13 different types of Laksa in Malaysia in each and every state. Its the staple noodle dish from Malaysia.
WOW! Amazing!!!
@@JayandKarolinaas a sarawakian of course i will say the best is sarawak laksa😅. It was famously called the “breakfast of the gods” by the late Anthony Bourdain when he was filming in Kuching.
Wow
Penang alot Chinese people so many Singaporean go there and enjoy food ❤
In Penang, whenever you see a long queue, the food there definitely is good.
That's so true!
Thank you for this wonderful video and for showing your food exploratioms in Penang.
Our pleasure!
@@JayandKarolina 😀

Thank you very much!!! We're loving it too 🙏 Everywhere we go people are super friendly and smiling to us!
Keep going guys!❤

Hey, man love seeing you guys living your best lives together coming from your delivery driver Channel.
We're indeed 🥹 Thanks for the support!
love your videos keep up the good work
Glad you like them!
Nice content 😊 love your videos ❤️ Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks so much!
Great to see you guys enjoying Penang like a local! When a Malaysian goes to Penang for holiday, 90% of the itinerary is eating. From breakfast, brunch, lunch, dessert, dinner, supper 😀.
Just like any other meals such as pizza and burgers, there are authentic versions and there are less authentic or budget or over the top versions of cendol, nasi kandar etc. The simple shaved ice and soupy cendol is the original and best version. And penang nasi kandar is the benchmark and most original because of its fresh ingredients, authentic and flavorful curries/spices, variety of choices. Northern states of Malaysia have more authentic nasi kandars because of Indian muslims who settled down there many generations ago. But there are many indian or mamak restaurants in KL and all over Malaysia who are actually just selling rice with simple curries and calling them nasi kandar. This is a travesty to me 😅
Haha, we could have seen that 😋 There was a lot of people queueing to the best stalls!
Yeah, we noticed that as well that it is best to order what is served regionally for the best quality of food!
Rojak is Fruit salad, ingredients are cuttlefish, guava, papaya, turnip, cucumber, fried flour fitter, peanuts, sugar tamarind sauce, prawn paste, some kangkong vegetables sugar. Or you can try pasembur, India Rojak which is totally different type with peanut sauce.
Thanks for the info! The combination of ingredients is very interesting for us!
Yeah you overheard squid for sweet😂
Super delicious Penang hawker food. I’m Penang born and look forward to be there in December!
Have fun!
Sedap👍👍👍🇲🇾
Well, that’s crazy people recognize you on the streets 😬 Great video 🥢🤤🎉
That's pretty insane! But we love to connect with everyone who approaches us! 🥳 THANKS ❤️
Good point Karolina. Go to where the locals eats to ensure best food.
10:53 I like how Karolina grabs her drink.
💁🏽♀️
I just came back from the Georgetown Festival. Hope you guys got the chance to experience it too.
Unfortunately we had already booked the flight to go to Langkawi before realising it! Hope you had fun though 🥳
great my friend good luck always
Thank you! You too!
penang, the other filming location for the
thai hollywood movie 'anna & the king'
which starred jodie foster and tom
felton (of harry potter) and me!
That black sauce in the rojak is actually prawn paste, so you've had more seafood than you actually thought. LOL
🥵
your $50 budget in singapore video is actually featured in few of the very popular online media platform in Singapore (Mothership and AsiaOne). So alot of Singaporean actually went to check out your youtube videos (me included) 😁
Some of the subscribers have mentioned us there! It's an incredible feeling! Thanks for watching ❤️
Uhh i already miss Padang Kota, the rojak place you had. After ate all the good food there and then you can walk along the sea side enjoying the breeze ❤
That's exactly what we did 🥹❤
I am originated from the North Malaysia as well. Your video made me to miss so much the street and coffee shop cooked foods.
Enjoy yourselves and have a good time !
Oh, so nice to hear that! Our pleasure!
Penang is the best state for food tour in malaysia
It really is!
That brown coloured thing you ate in the rojak is cuttlefish. Rojak is a salad in Asia as what Caesar Salad is to western countries.
😅😅
Best video 👍🥰🥰good job
Oh! Many many thanks!
Thanks so much for our amazing clips, it has added to the excitement for our trip.
We too are going to KL, Penang and Ipoh this Thursday.
My daughter is a huge K Pop fan and loves everything Korean,
Is that shop where you got the Berry 100plus in Penang Road ?
When you get to Langkawi, I can highly recommend Bella Restaurant, Pantai Cenang and also a visit to the Aquarium.
Unfortunately our favourite place Thirstday has closed.
Thanks Kath
Have fun! Our pleasure!
The shop is this one - your daughter will find a lot of snacks there, I'm sure: Good Express Mart (Heritage) right next to the famous mural!
I believe u both will hv more fans throughout this journey! And will be recognized on streets by more and more of ur subscribers and fans! Keep going ❤
That's so nice of you! It's actually happened quite a few times so far when people recognised us on the streets - such a nice feeling that you do something that makes an impact on people 😊 We will continue! It's our travel lifestyle dream!!!
The black sticky sauce in the rojak is prawn sauce, the seafood in rojak was cured cuttlefish.
The prawn sauce complimented the dish but in our mind the squid just destroyed the rojak for us 😅
Nice video..
Thanks!
Rojak usually has pineapple, bangkuang/sengkuang (a kind of local turnip), cucumber, possibly green mango, possibly fried dough sticks (cruller). The sauce is sweet soy, belachan (prawn paste), sugar, possibly some chilli and chopped peanuts.
There are dishes here that mix up the sweet and saltiness. (A bit like salt to caramel, or even a bit of bacon to desserts.)
Thanks for all the insights! 😀 And when is the best time to eat How? Is it more of a snack or a side dish? A very interesting pairing indeed!
Rojak is usually eaten as a snack. Interestingly there are chinese, malay and indian versions of rojak. The one you had was chinese rojak. Malay rojak does not have the crunchy crullers or squid. Mainly fruit and veg. The sauce is similar though. Indian rojak has totally different contents and sauce and can be eaten as a main meal. Penang is famous for the indian rojak, locally called pasembor.
Bro, that’s not line clear nasi Kandar, it’s beside. Hihi. But I’m sure it tasted good too. Line clear been there for ages. We are looking forward for our Penang trip soon. 😍💃. In Kl, ABC food corner nasi Kandar is good too. That’s the only place we satisfy our cravings.
And that’s not the original Penang road cendol, that’s the branch. The original one is opposite the police station.
We got misled with the sign - however, we got lucky because we've just had some food from them at the Penang airport 😂😂😂 It's such a coincidence that they opened a small branch over here!
The Cendol could have been better but on a hot day when it's made with authentic ingredients, it always tastes refreshing and great!
The pink bits in your Penang laksa is 'bunga kantan" or touch ginger. It's a must in Penang Laksa
Good to know! It was so fresh and sooo good! Best in Penang we've had 100%!
The Rojak you had was a Chinese style rojak. The “sweet” you had was actually Squid. It’s usually an extra option.
Great to know!
You should try Ah Leng Char Koay Teow at Dato Keramat. It's my personal favourite!
Line Clear is very famous for it's nasi kandar in Penang. The bean sprouts are fried with tofu and tumeric which makes it yellow.
They tasted really good! The the Nasi Kandar was the best one we've tried so far!
but he not eating at nasi kandar line clear... 😊 that is not nasi kandar line clear... the famous nasi kandar line clear is beside that restaurant... in the middle of alley ways
You should try the similar rojak in Singapore
Next time for sure!
Nasi kandar usually consists of white rice, mixed curries, some protein and vege. The one you got is a briyani dish.
Yes, you are right! I went for the biryani for more flavour, however, it would have tasted equally good with the white rice I guess!
Welcome to malaysia 🎉🎉
7:17 that laksa version from glutinous rice
i hope to pop into penang just for tht michellin star laksa , ❤ love frm singapore ❤
It is 100% worth it!!!
14:24 nasi kandar/ briyani eat with hand that secret delicious 😊
It was so good with the Biryani Rice 🤤
If I'm not mistaken, there is an option to add a dollop of petis/otak udang, which is a black coloured shrimp paste, to your laksa for an extra umami flavour.
Wow! That's interesting!
Nxt time can try the fruit rojak that have char kuay (Fried dough fritters).. yums! Hehe
Sounds good!
The black sauce in the rojak is shrimp paste hence a tad of seafood hoisin taste 😀
We couldn't really taste the seafood taste but it's good to know!
Karolina has beautiful eyes. I love your channel guys.

Hi I been following your videos if you come to Malaysia one of you go to get the table first so you own end up waiting for your foods standing for long time especially at the hawker center
Thanks for the tips!
Not sure if you have tried the ABC. Air batu campur. Its a local icy dessert consisting of shaved ice and mixed with red beans, corn etc. Its great!👍
We haven't had that one! Some more desserts to try I guess!
Rm11.50 for nasi beriani ayam, telur, sayur taugeh, ocra, plus teh ais is very2 cheap and affordable
We do agree!
Penang laksa has 3 compulsory items, 1. Torch Ginger Flower Bud 2. Vietnamese coriander 3. tamarind. With these 3 items, it is easy to whip up your own penang laksa at home
Mint leaves..pineapples..
Thanks for sharing! Sounds great!
one more key ingredient which is the prawn paste
The light brown thing while you ate rojak was a squid
😅
masala chai/teh and halia chai/teh are 2 separate tea beverages.
chai and tea mean the some thing.
masala chai has 5 different indian spices in it,
halia chai is ginger tea.
1 main ingredient.
halia means ginger.
in malay they call it teh halia.
teh is pronounced tay.
in Malay masala chai is the masala.
masala is an indian word
same with chai.
Actually Chai, Chaa is not an Indian word but a Chinese word, so is Teh. Masala is Indian.
Yes, masala chai usually has cardamoms and cloves.
Wow! I would never come to this conclusion by myslef! Many thanks for the explanation since I love both of these teas! 😍
@@natejones5608 and other spices unique to whomever is making it, each indian household has their own preferred blend
@@RajeshRavindranathan i wldnt debate that, thanks for ur input
22:00 someday try cendol with stiky rice or cendol durian with Stick rice 🤤🤤🤤🤤
I've personally never tried a durian fruit so for the best experience probably should go for the Musang King 😂 [Karolina] Next time definitely need to try the cendol you recommend though!
@@JayandKarolina really durian have many type Durian king is not famous that become no 2 try Tupai king squirrel king very hard to find that veri next goddess level than Musang king only in Penang 😂
If you don't find musang king I recommend you D24 75% similar...and Ganja that big flesh small seed awesome I think you will forget Musang king 🤣🤣🤣
Red prawn durian not bad at all but depends on season...like sleeping cat go to titi kerawang farm Penang or you want better place easy to find go at Jelutong Market front the street that is the best choice durian
Halia = Ginger
Masalah = Dry Spice Seeds / Mix / Blend
Telur Goyang = Wobbly Egg
Asam (Sour / Tamarind) Laksa
A big part of the Nasi Kandar is the mix of different sauces by the Jockey.... yes the PIC of dishing / plating the rice is known as a Joki/ Jockey... Ekh No. 1 😂❤
Oh, that makes a huge difference! Thanks!
What the name of that nasi kandar ? And the ice cendol is nearby that nasi kandar also?
Hokkien Mee in Penang is Prawn Noodles, in all other states we call it Har Mee. Hokkien Mee in all other states is Fried Thick Noodles, in Penang its called Tai Lok Mee.
Oh, wow! It makes a huge difference where you eat it then! We really liked the soupy type though 😋
The food looks lovely out there but is they any food your both missing and crave from back home.
Not yet! Probably we'll start missing some particular foods later on through our journey!
Good to see Jayesh able to enjoy the seafood broth of Hokkien Mee. I think he can try to challenge himself to actually eat some of the local seafood next 😅...Malaysian seafood is definitely less fishy than what you can find in the UK supermarket. He might be a convert after this 🤣
Challenge accepted 🥳😂
Seafood many foods in Malaysia is very fresh.
@@yummemys4608 I won't go to that extent of very fresh but the odds of finding fresh seafood with less fishy taste and smell is much higher here than the UK 🤣
Hi are you still in Malaysia on 31/08/2023, come to Putrajaya, we will be having great Independence Day Celebration here, do come early morning, By MRT Train from Ampang Park to Putrajaya.
Unfortunately, we won’t be at that time in the country anymore 😢 But we’ve heard that the celebrations are a huge thing!
Yes, expected crowd more than 300k visitors
Are you sure that was Line Clear? I think Line Clear was next door unless it's been remodeled since last summer. All the staff there were wearing T Bistro uniforms. Either way, nasi kandar is hard to beat!
They went to the wrong one 💀
Just checked on Google and the sign must have misled us and we went next doors 😳 Nasi Kandar was amazing over there though!
@@JayandKarolina no such thing as bad nasi kandar...
@@JayandKarolina the standard of any nasi kandar in penang in general is higher than KL 👌
Foods in Penang are more likely to be FuJian flavored 😂delicious, Yummy 😋
So good! We’re missing the food in Malaysia so much!
Tip for the audience: don't watch Carolina&Jay's videos if u hungry 🥲 love all that food and seeing you exploring Asia ❤
🥹🥹🥹 Glad you liked it!!! More content to come ❤️
Are u guys coming back to KL?
One day for sure!
Wow, looks like Karolina is hooked on Kopi C Kosong, and never leave your chopsticks sticking out on your food when in Asia. It resembles joss sticks in an urn!😅😂😂
Yes, I either take Kopi-C-Koson or Kopi-O-Kosong --> I'm so European because we never drink coffee with sugar/condensed milk haha 😂 [Karolina]
Yes, trying to avoid doing it with the sticks but it just happens! Sorry! Haha
Rojak has a fermented prawn paste which also goes into Assam laksa. Do try the famous Penang char koay teow. I prefer it to our sweetened fried kway teow. They have now added ducks egg.
RM11.50 is a very reasonable price for nasi kandar. The cendol looks delicious and very original with coconut milk.. Now some street vendors are using condensed milk to replace coconut milk. 😢.
Yes, you are right! Maybe it did not look good, but we went there for the taste 🙏
penang is sister city of Medan ,
Guys you went to the wrong nasi kandar stall… line clear is next to it
😅😅
You should also try Penang Pasembur,it is also call indian rojak at other state of malaysia..is totally different taste than fruit rojak(chinese rojak) u having..
We wanted to try Pasembur but got out of time 🥵 That's super interring! we've heard that about Rojak that there's different varieties depending on the culture!
The rojak that you guys ate. I think she meant squid and not sweet hahaha.. That's probably squid.
😅 That's what we realised indeed after eating it haha
The ROJAK has Cuttlefish, yah that's SEAFOOD in it, well you can say it is desert but with lots of fruits, veg and seafood,
ALL IN ONE. hahahahahaha you don't like seafood but the sauce is PRAWN PASTE with Soy Sauce and caramel thin dark sauce.
Thanks for the info! We couldn't really taste it - it was like a sweet black sauce to us 🤯
As a youtuber you should try all unless your religion or ...health issues. You're new here but very proud . You don't response to message .
We're trying to explore as much as we can! What message did I not respond to? 🤔
Chill... he also not response to my comments, but it is ok, may be he have some reasons...😊.. Anyway, i'll keep commenting on his videos, correcting what is wrong/explaining what i know... if i don't like some of the youtubers, i will unsubscribed them...simple..take it easy... 😊
@@diamondhead4139 yes , I already removed all his videos n history. Too proud as a beginner.
Jayesh is handsome 😂
Haha, thanks 😂
I don't think the fish is Mackerel but Sardines.
It’s normally mackerel 👀🐟
@@JayandKarolina oops ok.
@@RajeshRavindranathan I think the common laksa fish used is mackerel (Indian Mackerel) unless the maker uses canned sardines.. Why? Fresh sardines are usually not sold in the market.
Muar chee add that one is fried onions not garlic, that aunty's pronounce error
Great to know! Thanks!
😅many westerners cannot handle the taste of rojak😊
It was very particular! But definitely worth trying!
he miscalculated - i suppose,super cheap! (nasi kandar)
🤔 We don't exactly know what's been said between them but hope they included everything we had!
@@JayandKarolina not your fault,anyway
As are malay i dont thatt is are malay food that is malaysian food in malaysia we mix everthing indian chinese malay that becolme malaysian foods.😂😂😂👍🇲🇾🇲🇾
it's very funny to see all foods in Malaysia are street foods🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Malaysia has some really good fine dining Western, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Korean and Malaysian restaurants as well. Just that Malaysia is known worldwide for the best street food! I go there just to eat street food. Maybe the best in the world!
Malaysia has had the largest Japanese migration in the world for the last 14 years as the Japanese have chosen Malaysia as a safe destination to live in case their own country is destroyed by earthquakes or war. It's the only country in the world outside Japan where a Japanese University, shrines, schools and about a dozen Japanese malls exist.
Not just Japan. Even China has opened its first University in Malaysia and Korea is planning one too. They already have schools and restaurants and shops. Malaysia seems to be the chosen location for nationals from these three countries to migrate.
Since you're both eating from ONE plate, could'nt you put the Plate in the center, Your poor Girlfriend😪🤣🤣🤣
We always share equally 😊
Malaysia is the best place to put on weight😂😂😂
We will see 😂 For now we're too active I believe!
