Welcome to Malaysia Marshall and Sabrina. Marshall is correct when he said "it is going to be an amazing city, amazing country and so much to see". The hotel U were staying is owned by Tune Hotels, an associate company of AirAsia. It is a pretty decent hotel with good amenities and clean rooms. Nyonya food is widely available in Penang, and U should visit Melaka too after Penang, a historical city down south, about 2 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur. I saw your profile stating that U guys are from Colorado. I used to stay in Aurora in the Summer of 1982 and moved to Greeley in the Fall of 83 until the Spring of 86. I am your new Malaysian subscriber from KL. Enjoy your stay in Malaysia.
Thanks for welcoming us!! That’s awesome that you lived in CO. We really loved George Town and will have to visit Melaka. Malaysia is a really cool place 😊
Love your enthusiasm for travel and trying new things! There's plenty of food in Penang/Malaysia that are not spicy like kuey teow soup, wonton noodles, dim sum, kaya toast, loh mee (braised noodles), cantonese kuey teow, bak kut teh, prawn noodles (or called hokkien mee in Penang), etc. and for more famous things like char kuey teow or assam laksa you could ask them to reduce the spice level :) Side note: there's a lot of nyonya food that is not spicy like bangkuang salad, pai tee, pongteh chicken, nyonya dumplings that are really good too! Enjoy your stay in Penang!
Here's a tip when it comes to eating Malaysian cuisine that comes with rice: Always combine the main or side dishes with rice in one spoonful. Otherwise, the flavors on their own will be overpowering. This applies to most asian dishes whether Malay, Chinese, Thai or Indian etc. Imagine eating the inside ingredients of a burger without eating the bun ?
Penang is famous for its Cgar Kueh Tiaw and Asam Laksa. Do try them. Nasi Kandar is also a must try dish. For dessert you must try Cendol pronounced as Chendol.
If you like curry, Penang is just the right place for this dish. Try the Nasi Kandar at some of the more well known restaurants. You'll have some of the best curry in the country! 😊
Why can't you take grab from the airport? It is so cheap as we are an 'opec plus' country. Even singaporeans and thais run over for fuel. Your mistake when you landed. No simm, no currency.
We enjoy taking public transportation as much as we can when we travel. Even though grab is very cheap, we really enjoy the experience that public transportation brings. Thanks for watching 😊
Everywhere we’ve been has had a lot of food for people who don’t like spice. And there’s so much more to offer in all of them than just the food! Plus, the only way to get better with spice is to eat it 😊
@@MarshallandSabrina not to worry about spicy, just google, some not that spicy, but some really good delicious spicy. Just explore at your own capacities.
O come on..there's plenty of food that's NOT Spicy in all these countries. It depends on the kind of dish you choose. I am a Malaysian..i know!! And please...to all of you new to this country..DO NOT DUMP ON your food the side sauces and spices provided to you with your ordered food. They always give a lot even when all you need is a tiny bit. Taste it first. Add according to taste and comfort.
The secret of reducing spice is to eat with rice. The spice is there to chase the rice.
Thanks for the tip 🥰

Acar pickle can be sweet plus spicy
psst, try Monaliza cafe, on Chulia Street.
Thanks for the recommendation!! 😊
I think vietnamese food is not spicy. But malaysia has spicy food due to curry culture, chilli culture. Chinese food is not spicy.
Curry is supposed to be savoury. Thai people like sugary foods; hence, they make them sweeter.
And sugar reduce spiciness
@@keangwooichoo6138 true, but why eat spicy foods and adding sugars to reduce the heat. not to mention the direct effects to your insulin.
@vibnwis well some people like sweet and spicy. Some like sour and spicy. This earth has 7b people. Difficult to satisfy all.
@@keangwooichoo6138 agreed with that being personal preferences. however, not agreeing with adding sugar for reducing spiciness
Welcome to Malaysia. Do enjoy your stay. Do come to Kelantan
Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Not all spicy food, especially in restaurants, can tell the stall if you want a non-spicy menu, they definitely have it
