We are Pat & Giulia, a couple from 🇬🇧 and 🇮🇹 living in London.
We decided to go travelling and ended up living getting stuck in Malaysia during 2020 which spurred the creation of this channel, we're now back on the road after a lengthy hiatus!
We're Malaysian and Indonesian enthusiasts who enjoy discovering spots off the tourist trail and don’t like taking ourselves too seriously. We're not here to be vloggers or to be famous, we're not necessarily here to "inspire" anyone to travel either - just enjoy the spontaneous fun of it, weird situations and of course making local friends.
If you like our videos, chuck us a subscribe or give us a shout on instagram.
Big love

Muar is one of our favorite towns in Malaysia! Glad you guys enjoyed it
Terima kasih Sir kerana datang ke Muar🙏 enjoy your holidays sir👏
For the generosity you had shown, for the woman in need @16:40 Bravo! 👏 👏
👏 4x reward! 👏
Big love, thanks CS CS! We try and give out as much as possible where we can. Rarely have the camera out for it and don't think it'd be right to start filming when you're handing out money, but this woman didn't seem to care asking while I was filming. Hopefully she had a good chance to eat with it! We always like to help people out and hope that others will do the same, life can be cruel and it could've easily been one of us in that position.
Muar is one of the oldest towns in Malaysia. It’s one of the cleanest towns in Malaysia too ! Enjoy , you guys.
You get around a lot . I’m coming back to Malaysia for sure but next time I’m going to travel light . You have opened my eyes to the food in Malaysia. Back to Singapore for me tomorrow after three months . Thank you and happy travels .
Awesome, I like this type of vlog very much.
Exploring such "non-touristic" city (cities) in Malaysia, and comment/share your traveling experience in a very nice words.
Plenty more of that 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 - thanks for the kind message!
Did you know that the weekends in the state of Johor, Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan and Terengganu is on Friday and Saturday? People start going to work and school on a Sunday 😁
If you found a clock tower in the middle of the city that means the city is very old.....
Very true - only the small old towns have it!
I don't know how many you have interacted to that big smile moment from the local when you talking in Malay..
Great to see you guys having a good time in muo (local dialect). If you guys are not vegetarians, muo have good satays for breakfast. Also the seafood in muar is excellent.
Great shouts!
Bahasa malaysia kamu semakin bagus. Mungkin boleh fasih kalau stay lebih lama. 🤗🤗
I pun stay lama!
Semoga!
Welcome to muar, I work here, but tonight I go back to my hometown Batu Pahat
For your info Muar king mother side also from 🇬🇧. ......Brittania rules the world 🇲🇾🇬🇧🇲🇾🇬🇧
The more u explore that mean the more types of food u can see in Malaysia.Dont forget to try it.
We will!
Thanks for showing your explorations in Muar.
Muar The Royal Town of Johor. 😎
Muar is for more and the guy who loves Italy and has kid is amazing. Foods are amazing. Now i have kept in my mind that Muar is for the next time when visiting Malaysia.
It's gotta be on your list mate for sure!
muar was the capital of johor after melaka city was conquered by the portuguese in 1511.
sorry it was not independent of malaysia and singapore.
in 1855 for 22 years muar was a separate state from johor because there were two claimants to the sultan of johor's throne, and the one who was less powerful was given muar as his sultanate till his death, while the one who was more powerful ruled the other parts of johor.
muar is one of johor's two royal towns and the other is johor baru.
Motorcycle theft, and vehicle theft in general, are very common and largely prevalent here in Malaysia too.
Muar have at least 2 famous persons. YB Syed Syadid and Namewee.
Terkenal!
Try hoping at Rawa Island there to relax and unwind. 🌺
Looks beautiful that island!
These are vegetarian friendly traditional food you can find anywhere in peninsular malaysia especially, maybe not so much in sabah and sarawak, just like the delicious _rojak (ie. rojak mamak)_ you have apparently known about:
_Tauhu sumbat_ (fried tofu cake stuffed with some slices of cucumbers and carrots, then some chilli sauce or satay peanut sauce poured onto it)
_Cucur sayur_ (vege fried fritters, this is a snack, usually sold by tiny roadside kiosks in the afternoons, fried on site, comes with chilli sauce dip)
_Cucur pisang_ ball shaped fritters made with mashed bananas mixed in flour, also traditionally an afternoon tea time snack for the malays.
_Lempeng_ which may also be _lempeng pisang_ ie with bananas, this is harder to find, years ago I myself managed to find some sold in a seaside malay eatery near the town of marang in the state of terengganu, this is also traditionally a malay snack for afternoon tea, or for breakfast, usually eaten with curry (maybe you can opt for vege curry if they have) or its chilli paste (or _sambal bilis_ which you don't take). Kids usually have it with condensed milk or plain white sugar, but if you're eating the sweeter _lempeng pisang_ I also recommend a bit of either of these 2 to eat it with.
I myself have managed to visit cardiff very recently, and enjoyed their traditional welshcakes, yum! 😋
Great suggestions!! We've had a couple of these but going to try and find some of these, cheers Jon!!
@@VeggiesOnTour BTW 2 things about the delicious _rojak:_
Usually 1 of the fritters they mix in is _cucur udang_ which is deep fried fritter which has round disc shape but thicker in the middle, and 1 or 2 pieces of small shrimp on top.
2nd, I usually ask for 1 extra egg (½ or 1 hard boiled) and ofc that costs a tiny bit more, but cutting it into tiny bits will add nice creamy sweetness from the egg yolk making the sauce taste even more delicious! Yeah, so I do suggest you ask _tambah satu telur!_ 😋 Enjoy!
Malaysia got Hot and Cold.Hot weather and cold drink
Chui Kueh is one of my favorites. Delicious
Hmm..Ok .. Jalan-jalan and makan-makan in Muar!!.... Yup!.. Mixed Rice Veggies , you'll never got wrong with that and Lontong!!..... Nice!!! At 16:14 ...Sounds like someone I know.... Take care mates!... See ya around!
😂
Laksa Johor has a mixture of 'east and west' - fish broth that you eat with spaghetti and shrimp paste chillies (sambal belacan).
Meanwhile, Muar is very famous with its 'mee bandung' (prawn noodle) and satay served for breakfast
They are vegetarians. They don't take food with prawn or fish ingredients...
you said muar with no 'r' like local muarian
if you like quiet towns then you will like kuching sarawak
What’s the food like for vegetarians & vegans in Sarawak?
It’s on our list! 🙏🏻
In Muar there is a place called "Kubu Bentayan" ( Bentayan Fort ). Once upon a time it was the last stronghold of the Melaka Malay Kingdom.
Bentayan Fort was created by the Sultan of Melaka, Sultan Mahmud Shah as the last stronghold of the Melaka Malay Sultanate Empire in 1511 to resist the attacks of the Portuguese fleet as soon as the city of Melaka fell into the hands of the colonists.
Great bit of history there! I don’t think we saw it, annoyingly! I’ll be back to check it out next time
@@VeggiesOnTour
The only thing about the fort is a building to commemorate the area and its history.
Perhaps all the constructions of the fortress were destroyed by the colonialists in an attempt to erase the history of the Malay kingdom of Melaka at that time.
It is within the taxi and bus stand area.
Nice
Veggies on Tour you certainly endears yourselves by talking in Bahasa👍 keep it up and hope Malaysia will be kind to you. Nice vlogg
Always trying 😂
You can eat mi bandung if you ask them to put away chicken & beef. Provided that you don't follow strict vegetarian diet. One of the main ingredient in mi bandung gravy are prawns.
I think they are strict vegans
How did you travel to here? Bus , train. We are a couple of Aussies heading to KL in May and would love to go to Muar after seeing your video.
There’s daily buses from KL :) it’s quite easy to get to and super nice 👌🏻
Muar is Namewee ( a Malaysian famous mandarin hip-hop singer) town of birth. It is the first town you would come across once you left Malacca south bound. Muar also name as 'Bandar Maharani', 'Tanjung Emas' is a must visit spot at Muar River mouth at sunset and dawn. 🤗🤗
He has talent, but he is also very much a clout chaser, an attention seeker, and kind of a wannabe artist.
Muar is food heaven. And art street is great.
My best friend in college is from Muar, she always claims that Muarian and Malaccan(me) are very much alike - small town simple folks. 😂
😂
agree...
It is one of Malaysia's best kept secret! People always talk about Penang is the food haven in Malaysia but Muar should get the title too! Enjoy Muar and other towns in Johor as well! Before you leave Johor, i suggest you guys to watch JDT football match. It's something that we take pride of!
This!! So true!
New Subscriber.
Muar my home tome
wow my hometown.
My favourite local dish in Muar is Mee Bandung Muar.. originally from Muar. The best Mee Bandung shop i tried in Muar is Restoran Mee Bandung Abu Bakar Hanapiah that you guys should try ! That shop is operating since 1930s! Means you guys can taste that Mee Bandung recipe from 1930s! Really heaven taste! Lovely,😋😋. And very friendly uncle owner who runs that shop. He's now 3rd generation which currently running that restaurant i believe !
They are vegans
Unfortunately vegetarians, but heard amazing things! That's a great story though - I know some people that would love to try it
Muar is well known for otak-otak which is a type of grilled fish mousse. Try it! [Edit: oh no you're vegetarians! Sorry!]
😂😂😂😂
hahaha...ya they're vegetarians..
Wow you eat Lontong.
Yes, it's great!
Muar Johor... Mee Bandung n kopi 343 super sedap 😋👍
The home of sate for breakfast. My mother in laws town. Will be there next month. Enjoy guys
Usually tourists come to Muar just for food! Hahahaha! Because the food are authentic
That's a very famous Chinese cui kuih....
My hometown...glad that you enjoyed your trip there.
pear juice is something new, bravo uncle
Raw rojak! Where we can find that? Is that the fruit one? Rojak buah?
Sangat sedap
@@VeggiesOnTour , the sauce for rojak buah is made from sugar and prawn paste, not for vegetarians...
All towns usually have a clock tower due to way the British or western towns are.
Get that Uncle's / Son in law suggestion for more vegetarian places in Johor...
Our next video is in a true uncles town!! 😂
I drink kopi 434 EVERY SINGLE DAY because it reminds me of my childhood and where I was born.
I'm from Batu Pahat but also like 434 coffee!
Do not forget to come to Sabah, part of Malaysia too,many beautiful islands in Sabah, especially Island Kapalai, Mabul, in Semporna area, if they like diving activities, many marine life can be explored.
We’re planning on doing so, any interesting towns or tribes we can visit? 😂 - we’re not keen divers unfort! Kami suka berkacap dengan orang tempatan 😂 - will look into those islands.
that bread good to dip in hot tea
We found chendol, sounds very familiar, german accent🤣
😂
Try the lau sar bun
I'm from Muar, and Muar is quite friendly for vegetarians. many vege restaurants u can find them in muar town, I recommend you to visit the Green Gourmet restaurant,I love their foods~~Muar is small but it is friendly to tourists as well the vegetarian, welcome to Muar.
It's true! 🙏🏻
That's a lot of walking, no wonder you both are constantly eating. Lol!😆
Loool! Always walking 😂
hey guys are you still in Johor maybe you can meet up with this British guy maybe he could show you around the local spots www.youtube.com/@SilverfoxJB
Will check him out
Great food! Great place!
Bro..the colour grade is nice. What apps/software do u use?
FCPX only! Heard good things about Davinci Resolve for grading!
I admire your attitude and spirit...
Very few foreigners would go to such small slow pace town....you guys could really get to feel and taste the real local lives
The next one is even more local 😂 - love the local vibes
In every town there are a few totally Malaysian Chinese vegetarian chop chop stores.
Love these places, we go frequently!
Watch out for those super-soft bread. Most of the time, they are made from highly processed flour.
Oh really? Didn't know/ Not good for you eh?
Yeah, I was born here.
Back in the 90s, most people still used motorcycles and there was a huge motorcycle scenes in these small towns amongst the youth and young adults. So we used to ride in a convoy all the way to Muar from our home town in Batu Pahat using the state road and hangout near the riverside there. And met several other motorcycle groups from nearby towns like Tangkak or Kluang or JB. Then we would eat Mee bandung and return back home using the highway and exit through Yong Peng, sometimes we would stop by at R&R Yong Peng before the exit. Other weekends we would ride to JB and hangout by the strait facing Singapore, it used to be a beach there where people can still walk around called Pantai Lido. Then we would eat at their famous hotspot (I forgot the name) and ride back home. Good old days 😄
Great memories that. Pantai Lido, we should check it out. We visited Yong Peng in our latest video and in fact, Batu Pahat too (forthcoming)
@@VeggiesOnTour Pantai Lido is gone now 😅 good to know that you're gonna visit Batu Pahat but I don't know any dishes to recommend you that's vegetarians 😅 There's this light dish called Tauhu-Tempe like chopped friend tofu and Tempe with bean sprouts and spicy soya sauce, but the stall had sadly been closed since pandemic :(
Our sunset view is at Minyak Beku, a few miles out up the hillside and then the beach area. But I think any higher point in Batu Pahat like on top of Old Street rooftop can get a nice sunset view. I don't know much about newer eating spots, probably gonna look around for it.
I never being Muar before..😂
First time for everything 😂
MUOO....!!!!!!
Welcome to my hometown. I used to live in the 9ld traditional houses with pillars.
Nice bit of history there! Has it changed?
@@VeggiesOnTour the house is no more.. when I was born, i think my parents were the 3rd or 4th gen living there. We moved out when I was 6.
@6:15 I think those are the betel nut "fruits". Well.. I'm not really sure whether they are nuts or fruits or maybe seeds.
Oh that’s an interesting shout! Could be!
@@VeggiesOnTourt's Areca nuts (buah pinang), a type of palm tree and the fruits are used for eating with betel leaf, hence it's other name is betel nut. In Malaysia, it's no longer in practice but if you go to Bangladesh or India or some parts of South East Asia, you can still older people still eating those betel leaf with the betelnut, the one that they keep munching in their mouth until it turns all red 😄
I think it gives off some sort of high like when smoking 😅
You miss to try a lot good food in Muar..
They are vegetarians, and apparently we don't have too many vegetarian dishes, too bad
Guys fly to Kuching. Explore the Borneo part or Malaysia. Discover more things you guys may like.
It's on the list!
muar is my hometown
But you are not promoting what it has to offer for them?
It is near Melaka from Muar. I think you need to eat Raw Rojak.
_Rojak mamak_ is suitable for them and delicious too!
@@jonmath4182 not vegetarian for Rojak Mamak but Raw Rojak they have the non shrimp source, the vegetarian type. Mamak Rojak they will add shrimp crackers.
Ohhhh nooo that’s the best Cendol you’ll get , always have to make a stop there
Haha! You know your stuff! We stopped by for some ABC Cendol in another joint in Johor, never actually had them combined before. Decent spot!
@@VeggiesOnTour combined 😲 now that sounds good.
❤
So Alor Setar or Muar? :)
Very Difficult, Alor Setar is a bigger city - probably more liveable. Muar slightly edges it for food!
if u still at Johor, suggest u go to Kluang try Kluang Railway coffee & the kaya toast baked with charcoal..
Is it delicious, the charcoal?
woww amazing coffe with charcoal..tq info bro..kna try ni dtg kluang😋
Kluang! We need to make a journey there!
Muar is the hometown of Muhyiddin Yassin but it looks like that even the people of Muar prefers Anwar Ibrahim of Pulau Pinang over their very own leader!
Ha! Ibrahim is exceptional!
@@VeggiesOnTour Actually, it's rude to call him "Ibrahim" because it's his father's name... He should be referred by his 1st name, "Anwar"!
My hometown ❤️
How come you guys will end up in a small city like Muar, pace is slow and needing local to guide for the gems
434 coffee, try their house origin bean - the Elephant coffee.
The very last vegetarian place is my fave, their fried banana in the morning session is good too. Yupe, lontong not bad
