    The areas still have old buildings during the colonial times, that's why is historical. Want ori Nasi Kandar? You must go to Penang. It's started there first. Memang sedap, best in Penang and seberang prai 😂. As for me, at least once a month, go and whack Nasi Kandar. Still, Penang is the best. Btw, thank you for decorating yr Daughter with something on her hair. Hehe. Candid scene. 😂😅

      Hahaha yes I totally agree! Now my daughter will request NK at least twice a week. I think once a week is OK lah, hehehe. I think Merlin is my number 3 favourite NK is Penang at the moment, after Deens Maju and Mohd Raffee.

      @@pishedblokeMan, "Deens Maju" rocks! (my no.1 as well & my wife & kids love it), Raffee is nice, but skewed on the spicier side, NK is surprisingly good, but Merlin is just full of memories of my late dad, bringing me there during my younger days, the taste of the kurma and what not.

      U should try kedah nasi kandar also, but the gravy bit sweeter than penang one and they used different rice similar to nasi lemak.

    Nice video. I took almost the same angle of the hotel/restaurant exterior. Did the dji automatically panned the the 2 mics left and right or did you manually panned the audio? Anyway thanks for the shoutout. 👍🏻👍🏻

    • @pishedbloke
      @pishedbloke  6 місяців тому +1

      It was an additional pleasure to meet you there bro! I actually didn't change the audio at all... I think the mics link to the camera automatically as TX1 and TX2 and they stay that way. I don't usually listen on headphones so I didn't even check hahaha but that is a good point, I should align the left/right audio in post, or just record in mono. DJI rolled out a new firmware update today so I need to check what it is, apparently it is to improve the audio!

The ones I've been to that have sambal nyioq are Tajuddin Hussain, sirajuddeen, ceri and bathusa if I'm not mistaken.
