Jaya Grocer is the high end supermarket. It is catered for rich neighborhood and expat alike. Average Malaysians go to supermarkets like Giant, Mydin, Econsave, Hero and a few others. The selections are plenty, more local products and quite different than the ones at Jaya Grocer which has plenty of imported goods.
Its kinda funny to me actually, certain everyday stuff for some reason .. Supermarket like Jaya grocery is a little bit cheap than small market in my house area and much more fresh too 😂 sometimes the same price as jaya grocery but low quality
Malaysia do have coffee culture...our coffee café are called kopitiam or kedai kopi and its everywhere in the country. If you go to the wet markets you can buy freshly grounded coffee beans. Starbucks are too pricey and would not survive in small towns and villages. But kedai kopi & kopitiam had always been the social epicentre in small towns and villages. My grandpa had grown and roasted his own coffee for personal use. This is how much we love coffee. Old ppl in the kampungs actually grind their coffee coarsely as they love to chew the coffee grounds. Milo & Maggi has always been Nestlé products.
Here's a brief summary about (selected) supermarkets in KL Jaya Grocer/Village Grocer: target cust is foreigner, mostly imported items, but the produce is definitely fresh (and cleaner). Most expensive, but sometimes there's very good bargain Aeon: target is local but also cater to foreigners. Have a dedicated section for Japanese items. Price is 50-50. Delicatessen & bakery is good Aeon Big: target is local. Produce is cheap and mostly good quality. Some imported item is available but not as much. Price is mostly OK Giant/Lotus: target is local, mostly local products. Produce is cheaper but quality so-so. Price for other items is also 50-50 but some items more expensive. PS: usually tourists will go to Jaya/Village Grocer due to the selection of imported items but Aeon is also OK with less expensive price. This is just my opinion ok, not neccessarily a popular opinion

Jaya Grocer is a Premium supermarket which sells above premium stuff and imported rare products. That is why their items are 30%-150% more expensive than other supermarkets.
my late grandmother owned a small coffee, cocoa & coconut farm in Selangor and she used to grind her own coffee and cocoa. the aroma of her homegrown coffee in the morning when I was a kid is one of my precious memories of her. those types of coffee is called kopi kampung. there's a few local brands sold in local stores. but then again, only the locals know 😉
Those expensive fruits (usually Japan originated) mostly purchased as a gift. Corporate gifts or something u give to your boss or rich friends that already have everything, so you give them food. Or fruits...
Sengkuang (root) taste more like water chestnut. Saspodilla doesn't taste like cinnamon. Pomelo and saspodilla sold in the supermarkets usually aren't ripe enough. Sambal belacan = smashed chili with shrimp paste. Jaya grocer is a bit high end; also depending on its location. The best ketchup is del monte. Packet sause (sos) is paste. Maggie instant noodle original flavors are kari and asam laksa. You should try local kopi cap hang tuah and cap tupai.
Jaya Grocer is expensive because they are upscale supermarket with lot of imported product. Any place that sold fruit from Japan then it is definitely upscale. Standard - Lotus (formerly Tesco), Mydin, Econsave, Giant, TF Value, Aeon Big, Premium - Jaya Grocer, Sam Groceria, Village Grocer, AEON MaxValu Prime, Cold Storage Ultra Premium - Isetan Food Market, B.I.G., The Food Merchant
Malaysian Gourmet coffee culture only exist in cities. But traditionally, we drink ground coffee prepared locally... we buy the coffee powder and prepare ourselves. Or served at the local coffee shops. For example Terengganu has their KOPI WARISAN or now they call it kopi Wawasan Johor has KOPI 434 The northerners have KOPI KEDAH, KOPI BUKIT MERTAJAM, KOPI CAP GANTANG Melaka has many more coffee types, especially among their KOPITIAMs They concoct different kinds of brews and roasts
DO support your own local brands and producers so they can grow and improve. Old Town Coffee and Super use to be locally owned but has since been bought by Dutch giant JDE. Given coffee is grown around this region, it isn't right that locals can't get the best quality coffee beans at a cheaper price and instead have to buy some expensive European brands to get good coffee.
Japanese fruit is so expensive because it's hand-cultivated for perfection, meaning grown organically with special light and soil. A single strawberry, melon or peach can cost hundreds of dollars. The best pieces have no blemishes or bruising, are perfectly shaped and taste amazing at the peak of ripeness. But in my mind, not worth that much money.
Wonderful. Thank you for this video. Lots of really good produce and products for grocery shopping. Grapes imported from Spain, Egypt, India are quite cheap actually.
Sengkuang = Sweet Turnip 😊 In malaysia era 90an sweet turnip is fav vege school people malaysia called " SENGKUANG CALIT " calit mean smeared with homemade sauce and sprinkled with peanuts 😊 Sorry my english is bad 😢
Sapodilla known as Ciku in Malay. Love the taste, especially after it got chilled in the fridge. 3:19 Chincao or Grass Jelly in English. We usually mince it and add to our cold drinks like soy milk or milk tea. 11:30 The original Maggi noodle flavours are Ayam(Green colour), Asam Laksa(Blue colour) and Kari(Red colour). Back in the 1980's, those three were the only Maggi flavours available.
I am Malaysian. Jaya Grocer sells lots of imported food, hence, the expensive price for most of its items. Moreover, outlets in certain places may be more expensive than others, depending on the area u r in. Like, if it is in a shopping mall or areas where it is a major tourist attraction, especially Kuala Lumpur, then yeah the price-y-ness.
High class supermarket. Can get almost everything imported. A lot of variety. You had pomelo at my place. And that sengkuang you also had at my place ...in the popiah dish.
Guys, there are two braziliam youtubers in Malasia right now! They are Michele and Renan, and their chanel is "Mundo sem Fim". They are very cool and friendly like you two. It would be incredible with you meet them.
Impressive supermarket tour. Thanks for showing us goods/fruits/veggies sold from aisle to aisle. That black stuff is "cincau"/grass jelly which is one of the ingredients which you can find in "ais kacang." Guess you have had tasted it, Steve. "Milo" and "Maggi" are 2 typical items which almost all Malaysian households must have 😂😅

Milo is Nestlé product. Despite its popularity, Milo is only sold in Asia, Australia and other developing countries, but not widely retailed in Europe or other Western supermarkets. Their chocolate drink equivalent is Nesquik. You have to wonder why. Milo has less cocoa solids than Nesquik. Except Australia's has more cocoa solids than SEAsian. Read the ingredients list next time and find out what's inside. In Malaysia, Milo drinks sold outside typically add condensed milk to it, when Milo already has added sugar. This makes it too sweet.
@@suhanjayalian5044 we are a multiracial country. In Asia, only Malaysia has schools for Indians and Chinese. India can speak Indian language Chinese can speak Chinese language, so please understand this and constitution of both countries are not same.
median salary in malaysia is €600-700/mth, many earn under €600, but in singapore it is €3100/mth. and food costs are only around 1.5 times as expensive in singapore
Local snacks to try: Sanzha, nutmeg slices, dodol, musang king icecream/puff, prawn rolls, satay, tambun biscuits . Instant noodles: try kampua from Sarawak For local fruits, also try talap from Sabah, nona and rambutan.
Maggi is actually Swiss company :D. They are popular in Hungaria and Serbia as well. Not like maybe in Malaysia. Weird :D you didnt see it in Serbia. You can buy them in big shops.
What?! Pepsi have a more citrus taste I like that more... also for the bread there's price on the plastic tag... thirdly Malaysian have both coffee and tea culture, it's just that we're not snobbish about it.. that is why we have rows of lipton and none of that Earl Grey, English Breakfast... some families do drink it but it's more of a special occasion kind of stuff... same with coffee, if you tell them it's arabica or robusta they're gonna reply with what's that.. if you tell them it's Vietnamese, Ipoh or Indonesian coffee they'd be more responsive of that.. lastly for snacks I think it would be fun if you do a blind test while reviewing it especially with a Malaysian *wink abg ajib wink*. Two bird one stone
I like the prices in Malaysia, 1RM is approximately 1RON, so it is easy to compare with those from Romania. 🙂 The common products are cheaper or similar to those in my country, but they have some very expensive imported products. 😲
The Japanese fruits thats overly expensive is claimed to be the premium ones. Its kind of wagyu but in fruit form, i've watched a documentary how they cuddle & took extra care by maintaining the green house tempreture, the size & etc. Totally price for their hardworks. those fruits like Japanese shine Muscat grape, white strawberries and peaches (it also considered expensive in Japan as well) the farmer said every bunch of grapes the harvested will have the same weight n quantity & quality.
Think of dried seaweed sheets like spinach. I like to break them up and use them in egg omelets or miso wonton soup. Very healthy and they add texture.
Fruits are best to get them at any wet market or stalls on the street. Cheaper. But such supermarket helps you to get western ingredients like spagetthi, meatchops etc
Hello Steve & Ivanna. Glad to see you guys back here in Malaysia ❤I love the "shine-muscat" green grapes. Over here in Kuching the price is around RM20 each. It's sweet, seedless and for the first time I found grape with super soft skin. You can eat it effortlessly 😅My kids love it too. We bought it a lot during weekend promotion/sales because we couldn't get enough of it.
Jaya is a mid range supermarket chain with mostly imported products. However, it is pretty basic when compared to BIG or some of the Village Grocers (Bangsar and Mont Kiara). The most exclusive and best (imported) produce you’d find in BIG Publika, Isetan at Lot10, Village grocer at Bangsar village and BIG at BSC in Bangsar. It just depends what you’re looking for. But in general: good quality fresh seafood and fish, dairy (not the low range from NZL and Australia, but the real stuff from the Mediteranean (Italy especially)), wagyu and black angus beef and good wines and liquor is just very highly priced. I rather go to the wholesalers that supply the high end restaurants here in KL, theu have far better quality for far more competitive prices.
Sapodilla is known as Ciku in Malaysia. Cheaper if you buy from road side stalls or markets instead of at hypermarket. Agree, the taste and also the texture is great. Pamelo…. It’s kinda seasonal or having different variations. Some could be sweet, bitter, reddish, totally transparent. I find the best way to enjoy the fruit, either having it as it is, or to separate the fruit bits and add to fruit cocktails or softdrink (like 7Up)
Sappodillo = ciku Sengkuang = jicama The tofu in tube which is yellowish in colour is actually Japanese tofu, and it's mixed with eggs Cincau = grass jelly, you chop it up and mix it in sweet beverages yummm Belacan = terasi/shrimp paste Holy cow foie gras d'or RM232?? There'd better be gold in it just like the name suggests! Coffee is big in M'sia, you'll find cafés everywhere. Nowadays more people own coffee machines at home. I enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing!
Maggie brand is owned by Nestle and the furthest from Malaysian food,. I'm glad you guys had a great time in Malaysia and got to experience different cultural aspects of the country! Looking forward to watching your China videos!
You can peel the outer green skin of the pamelo, take the white sponge like thing, boil in the thick syrup ( white sugar and water) dry it, its yummy .
I used to be a Coke drinker since childhood but with the crazy cost of living these last couple of years and the fact Coke is 33% more expensive than Pepsi here where I live, I have been drinking Pepsi Max and it's so much better. I can't even drink Coke anymore coz of the taste. Oh and Rum & Coke with Pepsi is way better.
Jaya grocers carries more imports. Of course these are pricier. Big ticket items I go mostly to Aeon big. In between, for fresh produce I drop by the Jaya Grocer near my house.
Sengkuang is also called bangkuang and is turnip. It's not a fruit but a root vegetable like carrot. It's the filling used for popia. You can also eat it as a veggie. Fried with dried shrimp and braised in sauce until soft. Cincau is black jelly made from a herbaceous plant. You grate the jelly into strips and mix it with sugar syrup that has been boiled with pandan leaf. Yummy! Very refreshing on a hot day. The Chinese consider as having a 'cooling' effect. You can buy it from the stalls that sell soya bean milk and some people mix both drinks together. It's called 'Michael Jackson' LOL!
Have to agree with you, Franks is the best!! Had it for the first time and I was completely hooked! Just a question, which Jaya Grocer are you guys shopping in? Thanks
Fois Gras D’Oie is French for Goose fatty liver pâté . I am surprised at how expensive the store is! Would be great if you would review a cheap grocery store. Malaysia is apparently a cheap country although it doesn’t look like it by the prices of this grocery store.
It bothers me to see how far globalization went with brands. Maggie is a Nestle brand which you can find in Malaysia and Romania, 7 Days, the same coffee brands, sliced bread that seems fresh after a whole week... I always try to buy local products when I travel abroad, and I personally mostly avoid supermarkets for that reason. My only sin is eating in a McDonald's in Paris, but it was more of a cultural experiment. As for the cola dispute, I can only quote Cake, an American not-so-popular band, with their funny lyrics: "Some people drink Pepsi Some people drink Coke The wacky morning DJ Says democracy's a joke"
I love shopping at Jaya Grocer becoz it's cozy, clean n systematic....also most of the time not crowded....but not all things can be bought here....depends on my needs n budget 😂
Ivana's correct, Maggi brand is originally Swiss by Julius Maggi. USA is the melting pot of global cultures, Malaysia is the melting pot of global food.
Maggi (German: [ˈmaɡi], Italian: [ˈmaddʒi]) is an international brand of seasonings, instant soups, and noodles that originated in Switzerland in the late 19th century. The Maggi company was acquired by Nestlé in 1947. correct me if I'm wrong
We’ve been to Malaysia many times and we find the supermarkets really expensive in comparison to what you pay for food in the streets. They’re almost not worth going to unless you’re looking for specific things or trying to follow a specific diet. We go to get the pre-made sauces and Milo to bring home. The thing I found super expensive in your video was the booze! Fifty bucks for a bottle of hard liquor is highway robbery 😊
True. The price differences between food that is being sold on the streets vs those you can find in the supermarkets (especially in the upscale supermarkets) are definitely big. The former are usually a lot cheaper, especially if you compare them to the prices of the imported goods in the supermarkets. Well, in general, Malaysians love both local and imported food, hence the availability for both :) I usually spend RM300 or more on groceries in the supermarket whenever I buy lots of imported goods on that shopping trip! 🤯😊
@@pegangagamakeranaitusiapak576 Ya Tuan/Puan. In case it was not clear to you on what I wrote above, whenever I buy a lot of imported goods from supermarket, grocery bills = expensive la 😅
naa Jaya Grocer does not properly reflect most Malaysian's lifestyle. I personally shop at AEON. Clean, spacious, so many variations of everything, very very affordable
20% are not Chinese Immigrant, they are Malaysian citizen of Chinese Ethnicity. Just like the Anglo-Saxon of Australia, they are not called immigrant in Australia.
please try super ring by oriental food industries, malaysian product loved by jennie and lisa from blackpink. they was a video when they came here shopping at KK mart and were so happy seeing said cheese snack. it is in purple packaging. it was my childhood snack and it is there since about 5 decades
You asked for the Malaysian snacks, so I'm going to list them here - Apollo Chocolate Wafer (a rectangle, bar shaped snack that is wrapped in pinky red paper) - Apollo Chocolate Layered Cake, and Pandan Layered Cake - Super Ring by Oriental - Mamee Monster (BBQ and Chicken Flavour) - Tam-tam, and Mi-mi (both snacks by Snek Ku brand, idk if Steve's gonna like these two coz both contain artificial seafood taste in flavour) - Shoyue Mi, from Snek Ku brand - Mister Potato (Malaysian potato chips, find any flavours that you both prefer) - Haw Flakes - Popo Muruku Ikan (you know what ikan means, but believe me the taste doesn't taste fishy at all, and there are two flavours for this, the original and the spicy) - Corntoz (go for chili cheese flavour, that is so good) - Twisties (this is actually an Australian brand, preferably by Malaysians as well, go for the BBQ flavour) - Diction potato stick snack (it comes with the sauce, go for the chilli sauce)
@@JetLagWarriors you're welcome. Actually there are a lot of Malaysian snacks that weren't listed above, but these are the snacks that I could recommend to you both. Any Malaysians who read this, you're welcome to reply below what else the Malaysian snacks that they should try.
Indomie is my go to for that mee goreng taste. or was it ibumie. Maggie and Milo are all own by Nestle. Pepsi for me, as it has sweeter taste than coke. I probably need to cut down on sodas now. haha
We’d like to try some Malaysian snacks we can buy from the supermarket. What should we try???
try cheezel n master potato brand
Definitely popo muruku and wheel snack

Maggi is actually Swiss company :D. They are popular in Hungaria and Serbia as well. Not like maybe in Malaysia. Weird :D you didnt see it in Serbia. You can buy them in big shops.
What?! Pepsi have a more citrus taste I like that more... also for the bread there's price on the plastic tag... thirdly Malaysian have both coffee and tea culture, it's just that we're not snobbish about it.. that is why we have rows of lipton and none of that Earl Grey, English Breakfast... some families do drink it but it's more of a special occasion kind of stuff... same with coffee, if you tell them it's arabica or robusta they're gonna reply with what's that.. if you tell them it's Vietnamese, Ipoh or Indonesian coffee they'd be more responsive of that.. lastly for snacks I think it would be fun if you do a blind test while reviewing it especially with a Malaysian *wink abg ajib wink*. Two bird one stone
I like the prices in Malaysia, 1RM is approximately 1RON, so it is easy to compare with those from Romania. 🙂
The common products are cheaper or similar to those in my country, but they have some very expensive imported products. 😲
Westeners are not familiar or accustomed to our food. The supermarket you went is Jaya Grocer what we all call "atas" supermarket 😂 at least to me
To me also 😅.
I was thinking, this was gonna be a boring video. You've proved me wrong.
The Japanese fruits thats overly expensive is claimed to be the premium ones. Its kind of wagyu but in fruit form, i've watched a documentary how they cuddle & took extra care by maintaining the green house tempreture, the size & etc. Totally price for their hardworks. those fruits like Japanese shine Muscat grape, white strawberries and peaches (it also considered expensive in Japan as well) the farmer said every bunch of grapes the harvested will have the same weight n quantity & quality.
Overkill
Overrated
Think of dried seaweed sheets like spinach. I like to break them up and use them in egg omelets or miso wonton soup. Very healthy and they add texture.
Ah, I'm sure Ivana would love this! I will show her this
It is very common for Chinese and Japanese to eat dried seaweeds. Full of iodine.
The Gardenia breads will have their prices mentioned on the packet lock itself
Food Merchant is the top of the range supermarket groceries store in Malaysia. Its in collaboration with Waitrose® UK
Fruits are best to get them at any wet market or stalls on the street. Cheaper. But such supermarket helps you to get western ingredients like spagetthi, meatchops etc
Hello Steve & Ivanna. Glad to see you guys back here in Malaysia ❤I love the "shine-muscat" green grapes. Over here in Kuching the price is around RM20 each. It's sweet, seedless and for the first time I found grape with super soft skin. You can eat it effortlessly 😅My kids love it too. We bought it a lot during weekend promotion/sales because we couldn't get enough of it.
foie gras comes from France..That pâté is eaten on special occasions at Christmas. .😘🥰
Sengkuang (Malaysia)=Jicama (English, Spanish, Portuguese-originally from Mexico)-Bangkuang (Indonesia)
#jetfam... Suggestion... Maybe do a home cook meal video with the grocery shopping... Could be interesting... Simple normal meal❤
Jaya is a mid range supermarket chain with mostly imported products. However, it is pretty basic when compared to BIG or some of the Village Grocers (Bangsar and Mont Kiara). The most exclusive and best (imported) produce you’d find in BIG Publika, Isetan at Lot10, Village grocer at Bangsar village and BIG at BSC in Bangsar. It just depends what you’re looking for. But in general: good quality fresh seafood and fish, dairy (not the low range from NZL and Australia, but the real stuff from the Mediteranean (Italy especially)), wagyu and black angus beef and good wines and liquor is just very highly priced. I rather go to the wholesalers that supply the high end restaurants here in KL, theu have far better quality for far more competitive prices.
Cincau is called Grass jelly in english. Its semi sweet jelly that sometimes we mixed with drinks
100+ is the MSG for drinks, specifically juices, e.g. Florida's orange juice + 100+ active (non-carbonated), you're welcome.
Screenshotted this. Thanks!!
Top demais excelente vídeo!❤
Sapodilla is known as Ciku in Malaysia. Cheaper if you buy from road side stalls or markets instead of at hypermarket. Agree, the taste and also the texture is great.
Pamelo…. It’s kinda seasonal or having different variations. Some could be sweet, bitter, reddish, totally transparent. I find the best way to enjoy the fruit, either having it as it is, or to separate the fruit bits and add to fruit cocktails or softdrink (like 7Up)
sawonilo in kelantan 😂
Pam may object, saying it's pomelo
Surprisingly, there's a way to cut Pomelo so that it's not bitter. My MIL knows how to do it
@@jonmath4182 lol. Sorry Pamelo
Introducing Malaysia brand snack:
Super ring
Cheezels
Jack n Jill’s Roller coaster
Popo muruku
Amazin’ Graze
MyEureka popcorn
Love your content guys. Much Love from Uk ❤️ I like the shirt with Rapid🥳
nice supermarket tour..
Sappodillo = ciku
Sengkuang = jicama
The tofu in tube which is yellowish in colour is actually Japanese tofu, and it's mixed with eggs
Cincau = grass jelly, you chop it up and mix it in sweet beverages yummm
Belacan = terasi/shrimp paste
Holy cow foie gras d'or RM232?? There'd better be gold in it just like the name suggests!
Coffee is big in M'sia, you'll find cafés everywhere. Nowadays more people own coffee machines at home.
I enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing!
growing up, the pomelo growing in our yard had red/pink flesh that’s sweet & juicy. i only learned of the variety with pale yellow flesh later on.
Maggie brand is owned by Nestle and the furthest from Malaysian food,. I'm glad you guys had a great time in Malaysia and got to experience different cultural aspects of the country! Looking forward to watching your China videos!
Maybe you can try our local kerepek like banana chips, tapioca chips, jackfruits chip and sort of. 😊
in Turkey, regular Pepsi with sugar is definetely better than regular Coca Cola with sugar. However Coca Cola Zero is definitely better than Pepsi Max
In Turkey I love their apple tea & all type of food 😊
You can peel the outer green skin of the pamelo, take the white sponge like thing, boil in the thick syrup ( white sugar and water) dry it, its yummy .
I used to be a Coke drinker since childhood but with the crazy cost of living these last couple of years and the fact Coke is 33% more expensive than Pepsi here where I live, I have been drinking Pepsi Max and it's so much better. I can't even drink Coke anymore coz of the taste. Oh and Rum & Coke with Pepsi is way better.
Cintan Mee brand is an originally Malaysian brand. Maggi & Nestle is actually Swiss brand being localised.
Jaya grocers carries more imports. Of course these are pricier. Big ticket items I go mostly to Aeon big. In between, for fresh produce I drop by the Jaya Grocer near my house.
You are so lucky you have Ivana. She’s the best. All her comments are true! 😊 I like her.
Pomelo is one of my favourite fruits. Widely available and very popular in Russia too. Yum 🥰
Sengkuang is also called bangkuang and is turnip. It's not a fruit but a root vegetable like carrot. It's the filling used for popia. You can also eat it as a veggie. Fried with dried shrimp and braised in sauce until soft. Cincau is black jelly made from a herbaceous plant. You grate the jelly into strips and mix it with sugar syrup that has been boiled with pandan leaf. Yummy! Very refreshing on a hot day. The Chinese consider as having a 'cooling' effect. You can buy it from the stalls that sell soya bean milk and some people mix both drinks together. It's called 'Michael Jackson' LOL!
I love maggi soup here in Serbia 😊
Have to agree with you, Franks is the best!! Had it for the first time and I was completely hooked! Just a question, which Jaya Grocer are you guys shopping in? Thanks
If you want cheaper groceries go to NSK
Not much selection
Beef & mutton are mainly imported from Aussie & NZ but it's Malaysian owned farms , that's why it's cheaper than imported veggies/ fruits
OMGGG THERE'S A BRAZILIAN COUPLE IN MALAYSIA TOO!! The channel name is, Mundo Sem Fim !! CROSSOVER PLS
Fois Gras D’Oie is French for Goose fatty liver pâté . I am surprised at how expensive the store is! Would be great if you would review a cheap grocery store. Malaysia is apparently a cheap country although it doesn’t look like it by the prices of this grocery store.
This Jaya Grocer is for the rich n' famous. XD
@@shyfullripped like the jet lag warriors! 😊😅
That pomelo fluff tastes amazing candied.
Candied pomelo fluff? Wow. I want to try that
@@JetLagWarriors Find this brand called Mildura dried pomelo peel. It's dried and candied, a great fruity snack.
Oh wow! Time for Steve to try Sengkuang Calit. Yummy!
It bothers me to see how far globalization went with brands. Maggie is a Nestle brand which you can find in Malaysia and Romania, 7 Days, the same coffee brands, sliced bread that seems fresh after a whole week... I always try to buy local products when I travel abroad, and I personally mostly avoid supermarkets for that reason. My only sin is eating in a McDonald's in Paris, but it was more of a cultural experiment.
As for the cola dispute, I can only quote Cake, an American not-so-popular band, with their funny lyrics: "Some people drink Pepsi
Some people drink Coke
The wacky morning DJ
Says democracy's a joke"
I love shopping at Jaya Grocer becoz it's cozy, clean n systematic....also most of the time not crowded....but not all things can be bought here....depends on my needs n budget 😂
Milo and Maggie are owned by Nestle (Swiss company). And they've been owned by Nestle for over 50 years.
Ivana's correct, Maggi brand is originally Swiss by Julius Maggi. USA is the melting pot of global cultures, Malaysia is the melting pot of global food.
Try Malaysian snack. Popo in white packet with a baby logo in the middle.
Try these 2 frozen food items:
Roti canai
Karipap
Maggi (German: [ˈmaɡi], Italian: [ˈmaddʒi]) is an international brand of seasonings, instant soups, and noodles that originated in Switzerland in the late 19th century. The Maggi company was acquired by Nestlé in 1947. correct me if I'm wrong
17:54 if you want to try Malaysia coffee beans try find this Sin Boon Kee coffee from penang
We’ve been to Malaysia many times and we find the supermarkets really expensive in comparison to what you pay for food in the streets. They’re almost not worth going to unless you’re looking for specific things or trying to follow a specific diet. We go to get the pre-made sauces and Milo to bring home. The thing I found super expensive in your video was the booze! Fifty bucks for a bottle of hard liquor is highway robbery 😊
True. The price differences between food that is being sold on the streets vs those you can find in the supermarkets (especially in the upscale supermarkets) are definitely big. The former are usually a lot cheaper, especially if you compare them to the prices of the imported goods in the supermarkets.
Well, in general, Malaysians love both local and imported food, hence the availability for both :)
I usually spend RM300 or more on groceries in the supermarket whenever I buy lots of imported goods on that shopping trip! 🤯😊
guess u went to a wrong supermarket or grocery 😊.They are plenty cheap n unbelievable prices unleast its imported
@@pegangagamakeranaitusiapak576 Ya Tuan/Puan. In case it was not clear to you on what I wrote above, whenever I buy a lot of imported goods from supermarket, grocery bills = expensive la 😅
I preferred Pepsi over coke in the past, specifically Pepsi twist with a touch of lemon. Today, I don’t mind !
actually the famous Pomelo is from tambun, ipoh. they have 2-3 variant, sweet, sour and sweet+sour variant. its white and pink colored pomelo.
thanks for your great video!
naa Jaya Grocer does not properly reflect most Malaysian's lifestyle. I personally shop at AEON. Clean, spacious, so many variations of everything, very very affordable
If you come to Johor, try pisang salai or smoked banana. You can buy from stalls at the R&R
20% are not Chinese Immigrant, they are Malaysian citizen of Chinese Ethnicity. Just like the Anglo-Saxon of Australia, they are not called immigrant in Australia.
This is a good point
please try super ring by oriental food industries, malaysian product loved by jennie and lisa from blackpink. they was a video when they came here shopping at KK mart and were so happy seeing said cheese snack. it is in purple packaging. it was my childhood snack and it is there since about 5 decades
You only mentioned jennie and lisa?? You didn't mention me! 😑
Just shop shop shop Steve and Ivana. They have it all.
Sengkuang is jicama, its sweet and tasty, malaysian usually use it for popiah
This is what I came to say. Not something new if you have eaten Mexican food on the regular, which most Americans have... ;-)
You should definitely try salted egg fish skin chips, they are super delicious!!! Don't be scared of its name!!!
I'm surprised that "sengkuang" is not directly translated to turnips. Also, I agree on the pomelo.
You asked for the Malaysian snacks, so I'm going to list them here
- Apollo Chocolate Wafer (a rectangle, bar shaped snack that is wrapped in pinky red paper)
- Apollo Chocolate Layered Cake, and Pandan Layered Cake
- Super Ring by Oriental
- Mamee Monster (BBQ and Chicken Flavour)
- Tam-tam, and Mi-mi (both snacks by Snek Ku brand, idk if Steve's gonna like these two coz both contain artificial seafood taste in flavour)
- Shoyue Mi, from Snek Ku brand
- Mister Potato (Malaysian potato chips, find any flavours that you both prefer)
- Haw Flakes
- Popo Muruku Ikan (you know what ikan means, but believe me the taste doesn't taste fishy at all, and there are two flavours for this, the original and the spicy)
- Corntoz (go for chili cheese flavour, that is so good)
- Twisties (this is actually an Australian brand, preferably by Malaysians as well, go for the BBQ flavour)
- Diction potato stick snack (it comes with the sauce, go for the chilli sauce)
Thank you so much for this!!
@@JetLagWarriors you're welcome. Actually there are a lot of Malaysian snacks that weren't listed above, but these are the snacks that I could recommend to you both. Any Malaysians who read this, you're welcome to reply below what else the Malaysian snacks that they should try.
@@Heyzairi bubur kacang
SengKuang taste fantastic when dipped with sweet black bean sauce with sugar added.
Gosto muito assim aprendemos mais sobre outros países e culturas
Interesante entre la gente con mente abierta 😊
Suggestion for Malaysian snacks- Haw Flakes
Kicap = sauce, ketchup = tomato sauce.
Kicap is not sauce, kicap is specifically soy sauce
Indomie is my go to for that mee goreng taste. or was it ibumie. Maggie and Milo are all own by Nestle. Pepsi for me, as it has sweeter taste than coke. I probably need to cut down on sodas now. haha
Maggi is Switzerland Vevey. A saciour of asians who live in Europe since the taste similar to salty soy sauce
Kopi O is widely sold in restaurants and 'road side' stalls.
Nooo maggi is international, in romania you can find it sold in big 1-2 liter jars even and it's the #1 condiment used by grannys
lol this is good to know. #1 condiment for Romanian grannys and Malaysians !
