OUR FIRST TIME IN MALAYSIA! 🇲🇾 Malaysia Travel Vlog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- After arriving in Melaka and spending our first evening trying delicious Malaysian street food at the Jonker Street Night Market, we woke up early with plans to explore the historic part of the city - but the weather had other plans.
When the rain finally ended, we grabbed some refreshing coconut ice cream and took pictures at the iconic Kheil's Heritage Building before heading to the Dutch Square to learn more about the historic maroon-colored buildings and unique architecture from years of Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonization.
After walking along the riverfront for a while, we found ourselves in Little India, where the smell of beautiful flowers and delicious food had us wanting to book plane tickets to India. On our way back to the city center, we came across a couple of beautiful Chinese temples. We rounded out our day in Melaka the best way we knew how; on a riverboat cruise through the colorful city.
Our first impressions of Melaka were great, and we fell in love with the city, but we would love to know your thoughts! Please let us know if you enjoyed this video by giving it a like, and consider saying hello in the comments. 🥰

Melaka has been improving its infrastructure and tourism industry at a rapid pace due to its high demand and popularity. Hence, it'll only get better when it's time to come back for your future visits. Just be yourselves. Your personality and content presentation are fine and easygoing. Which makes the vlog easy to enjoy. Thanks for spreading the love for Malaysia!😊
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰
you guys are pure heart there’s nothing to improve just be yourself that’s why we are here!
Aw, thank you so much! That means a lot to us. ❤️
I felt the same as you :)
the gooey thing is called Dodol. Palm sugar (gula melaka) slow cooked for hours.. those guys selling two flavours, original & durian... used to be served during Eid only...
Thanks for letting us know! It was interesting, but very good! 😊
Melaka truly is a unique city in Malaysia, glad to see u guys enjoy ur visit! Thanks for coming. I'm a local in melaka btw.
We LOVED Melaka. Such a cute little vibe. We could have spent all of our time there for sure. ☺️ Thanks for watching and saying hello! 👋☺️
the number 4 in Chinese is "sei", which translates to "die" - hence, you never find a 4th or 14th floor. And the thing you sampled @ the end of the video is called dodol. It's a local sweet/candy. You guys had durian dodol.. and that looked like pretty good durian dodol to me. Look it up on UA-cam to see how it's made. It's pretty cool. Gula Melaka is a local palm sugar.. and yes, gula means sugar.
Interesting. Thanks for letting us know! We'll check out how dodol is made. It was pretty good! 😊
Welcome to Melaka 💦 thanks for sharing awesome vlog ⚘️🌱have great day & let's explore ahead ⛴️
Aw, thank you so much! We hope you have a great day as well. ❤️
WWOOO I love you guys!! It's so strange to see a new lens on a place I've been! I also have sensitive teeth Ash so I have to like sip ice cream and things hahahaha
Ah! Thanks Josie. We love you too! 🙏 It is wild seeing places you’ve been through another perspective. Get ready for a lot of that in our upcoming series! You’ll be hearing from us in every crisis! 😅😂🫶
Very interesting video and a lovely couple 👍
Welcome to Melaka aka Malacca..btw it's a Visit Malacca Year this year..a lot of things happening there.. Enjoy and explore more the hidden gems of MALAYSIA ❤️🇲🇾✌️😊
Thank you so much! We're so excited to share the rest of our Malaysia series. We ended up spending two months there and fell in love with the country. 🥰
How absolutely incredible, fantastic work friends 😊
Thanks Vu! Glad you enjoyed it. 🫶
Yeah it is so nice!
That glueye staff is called Dodol and is make with the very top of a coconut shot that gives a clear coconut sugar that they boil until it is thick and gluee....
Oh! Ok! Thanks so much for the info. It was so delicious! Like nothing we’d ever tried before. 😋
Pretty good vid guys
Thank you! ❤️
nice to follow your journey from beginning to end of this video, great.
Thanks so much! We love seeing your comments. They brighten our day! 🥰
@@mikeandashley You are welcome friend. 🙏
Gutted we missed that cocnut place! It looked incredible, we will have to try it next time we visit along with a river cruise! Thanks for the info about the whole Malacca vs Melaka... we had no idea! 🤗
Come back to malaysia again guys!! Hahaha
@@andrewchong2616 we for sure will! ✨
Yeah, the coconut ice cream was delicious! It was a family-run business and the owners were lovely. Thanks for watching!
We hope our paths cross again soon. 🥰🫶
Welcome to Malaysia ❤❤❤ thanks 🙏👍😊
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
You guys are the Most Good-Looking Couple on UA-cam
Aw, thanks so much! 🥰😍
Dodol is a sweet toffee-like sugar palm-based confection. Panas is hot. Main indigent is Gula Melaka or Coconut palm sugar.
Ah! That explains it. It’s really tasty. I’d love to try different kinds as well. 😋
Welcome to my state Malacca..I was born there..hope you guys hv a great time there..by the way Ashley looks like Kate Winslet😊
Thank you so much! Do you still live in Malaysia, or another country? We absolutely loved Malacca. 🥰
Saya baru tau di Malaysia ada Dodol, saya kira hanya ada di Jawa..😅 soalnya saya tidak pernah dengar ada Dodol di Sumatra.
Kenapa saya bilang Sumatra, karena Sumatra adalah akar dari Melayu, dan disana pun Etniknya masih satu keluarga dengan Melayu...
Oh interesting! That’s weird that it wouldn’t be there then.
There are so much more places to explore in Melaka!
We’re sure there are! Where should we go next time? 🥰
What you recommend most?
❤melaka
Such a cool city! 🥰
I love this place too, but never get invited to wedding or something. A lot of events are going on, probably I don't exist.
Oh no! We’ve also never been invited to a wedding there. Could be pretty fun!
You guys are such an inspiration, we have started our own journey and will be travelling and have started uploading long form content of our travels 😊
Aw, thank you so much! 🥰🫶 We’re happy we’ve inspired you to post your travels! We’ll check out some of your stuff when we have a free moment! Can’t wait to see what you’re creating!
@@mikeandashley Thank you so much ❤️
i thinks the last of this tour its called like "wajid" here at brunei similar to "kelupis" most likely.
Oh cool! Thanks for letting us know. 😊
have watched all your videos, I am very impressed, I hope you visit other tourist attractions in Indonesia
Thank you so much! That means a lot to us. We’ve got a couple of other countries to visit first, but we’ll definitely return to Indonesia at some point. There is still so much to discover there. ❤️🥰
What you recommend in Indonesia?
Adu dok bayangkan kalau istana melaka di bina semula tepi sungai tu untuk megenalkan sejarah dn perlancongan mesti menarik
Dah ada lah... namanya Istana Kebudayaan Melaka.. ia cuma replika dan merupakan satu museum yang menginspirasikan. Cuba google.
Hi! Good observation Mike those ravens are likely introduced species . They adapt to high humidity by losing weight 🙂
Nice! Very interesting ..
Right?! I didn’t know this.
Wow, that’s a cool fact! They are such an amazing creature.
@@mikeandashley yes they are
Kopi tarik malaka
We LOVE kopi tarik! 🤗
Yes dodol is cooked with palm sugar until dry.
It was delicious! 🤗
Hello,
Great video !
Which area do you recommend to stay in Malacca near convenience stores, street food markets, attractions and public transportation ?
Thank you very much.
Hey! Thanks for reaching out. The accommodation we have listed in our video description has a great location! But really, anywhere near Jonker Street or the River Walk are ideal area. Lots of conveniences and streetfood. 👍
bdg indonesia hadir mister
We’re happy you’re here! 🥰👋
Malacca is beautiful
It really is! It’s one of our favorite places in Malaysia. 🙂
Certainly, I always feared the possible taste durian when I looked at it, but when I actually tasted it, well, things went differently now didn’t they?? 😜 I hope you enjoyed Malacca!! 🤪
Yeah, durian is surprisingly good! Definitely tastes better than it smells. 🤣
@@mikeandashley I suppose... you could say the appearance of it AND visually prepare it; and how it overall smells before consumption MEANS NOTHING as to how this is coming along?? 🤔
❤❤❤😂👍👍👍
🥰🥰🥰
Go to kl in Batu caves so exsiting
We’re so sad we missed it. Next time! 🥰
Melaka more to Portugal influenced
We noticed the Portuguese influence while walking around. Melaka is such an interesting city! We loved it. 🥰
The number 14 is considered unlucky for the superstitious Chinese in Msia but NOT for the Malays who are Muslims.
Thanks for clarifying! Are there any superstitions that Muslims believe in?
@@mikeandashley - Muslims don’t believe in any superstition but some Muslims do out of cultural influences and not due to the Islam religion
Oh, interesting! Thanks for letting us know. We love learning about other cultures and religions. 🙂
@@mikeandashley - sure, no worries. Islam is the most misunderstood faith in the world but yet its the fastest growing religion in the USA and Europe.
14 sounds like "death for sure" "sure to die" in cantonese. So buildings owned by Chinese will not use 14. It will use 13A.
Ah, that makes sense! Thanks for letting us know. 🙂
In chinese language, 4 pronounce as death. so we dont put 4 or 14 etc. It is unlucky number, its just like 13 in Western country. Cheers
Ah! That makes sense. Thank you so much for sharing. ☺️🙏
She’s into Malakas Dean O
Don't know what Dean O is, but we loved Melaka! 😅
@@mikeandashley weird science?
Originally there were no crows in malaysia. The british brought it into malaysia long ago.
Interesting! I wonder why they’d bring crows? 🤔
@mikeandashley my theory is long ago, there were no plastic wrappings as plastic was only invented after ww2. But asians like to throw away organic stuff eg fish guts, fish head, chicken intestines etc all over. So it stinks, therefore to solve these "garbage" issue, the british brought in crows. I assume this was to do with hygiene. Malaysians are much cleaner now but the crows have multiplied in millions. What to do.
Oh wow, what a curious theory! Kind of a cool story as well. Corvids are so smart! They can be trained.
@mikeandashley you can Google, 1890 brought in from ceylon sri Lanka originally to control pest like insects which attacked crops.
Ah, that’s awesome. Thanks for sharing. I’ll give this a read for sure. 🙏
You kinda looks like that Top Gun actor, the ‘goose son’, forgot his name
Haha, someone else said the same thing! We think it’s the mustache. 🥸🤣
You have part Asian ancestry, Mike?
Not that he knows of, but anything is possible! His mom is Italian and his dad’s side of the family is German. 🙂
