And just wanna add for Halal stuff, Malaysia is world-renowned as a halal hub. It also has its own body just for Halal certification, called JAKIM, with their halal logo being one of the most trusted and recognised around the world. It's also the world's first halal certification body, starting operations since the 60s.
So their presence in malaysia is quite ubiquitous, from canned goods to regular snacks, to meat and fresh produce and even cat food. They also issue halal certificates to restaurants and chain stores, and even for cosmetics.
Since it's everywhere in malaysia, most consumers often look for the halal logo from jakim first on the packets of product before buying. To the extent that some people won't even enter a restaurant that is muslim-friendly but has no halal cert. I also have some non-muslim friends who purposefully don't consume anything non-halal since they know that those with halal logo are properly vetted in terms of sanitation and quality.
Because of that, foreign brands looking to enter the malaysian market (and in extension, the halal market) often seek to acquire the halal cert to expand their business. This then creates a positive cycle where the halal logo can be seen almost anywhere.
That’s really good to know! Thank you for sharing.
'HALAL' Merangkumi Segala aspek, Bentuk, Kualiti..Kuantiti dan lain2 lagi.. Ianya bukan sekadar untuk Makanan sahaja TERTAPI segala barangan untuk kegunaan manusia khas nya umat muslim/islam❤
3:35 those prices are controlled prices by the government normally during major festive season for example eid mubarak ,chinese new year christmas,deepavali...the items may vary from one festival to the other...
AEON is a Japanese Departmental and Supermarket store. Malaysia is filled with Japanese departmental stores and supermarkets because of the large numbers of Japanese migrants.
Great info!
@@MaaraAcademyye ke? Aeon tu merata negara ada. So jepun ramai ke merata Msia yg ada eaon?
AEON in Malaysia nothing to do with Japanese migrants..just Malaysian policy friendly towards east asia to counter the western 😅 ..
Aeon was not there when the Japanese came to oust the British back in 1945 (or something like that).. hahaha... you can ask Sarjan Hassan to be sure.
@@kakitiub9361 alaaaa ko buat bodo jer dah ler takyah nak gadoh, ntah jenis orang apatu komplen, bior dier bahagia dah bangla ke ciner ke mana kita tahu
Thank you very much for such a beautiful information that we were looking forward to know that . 😊
Thank you!
The rice in a pack is called “ketupat,” a traditional food from Malay culture. It has been modernized from its original form, which was wrapped in coconut leaves.
15:58 thats not for portion control
Thats rice cubes are actually our traditional dish called ketupat.. basically rice cakes normally eaten with peanut sauce and satay
Wow nice! Thanks for sharing.
Citing the 2023/2024 edition of the State of the Global Islamic Economy (SGIE) report, HDC said Malaysia secured first place in Islamic finance, halal food, and media and recreation, coupled with a commendable second-place ranking in “modest fashion”, third spot in pharmaceuticals and fifth in touris
Great info!
There are many supermarkets with competitive pricing....therr are no monopolies by a handful of supermarket brands
Cool
hello guys..trust me everything cheap except milk and cheese if you compare to UK 😊 you will see
@3.10 Those are ceiling prices for normal daily items for that period. government sets the ceiling prices unlike uk its free for all. this ensures everyone gets to cook good food
Nice video here. But before you call something cheap, you need to understand that although 1GBP = RM5.7~, you should think of the prices as 1GBP=RM1. Like the sushi platter that you were surprised to be around 9 quid, imagine paying 50 quid for the platter. That’s how expensive it is for us Malaysians. Due to our weak currency, some imported products cost a ton due to direct conversion. Lurpak butter costs around 3-4 quid in the UK, but when imported to Malaysia it comes RM17. So imagine paying 17 quid just for butter. It’s not that cheap anymore. But as a tourist, it is definitely cheap. But as a citizen, it is hellish. But anyways, have fun in Malaysia.
If assuming 1 Gbp = rm1, every thing in Malaysia would be very expensive ,mate🤔🤔. Wrong conversion rate. The better conversion is to use is to compare Food at McDonald in UK and Malaysia. IF 10 gbp meal is equal rm30, than the ratio would be 1GBP= RM3. This is called the McDonald conversion.😂😂
Thank you for sharing this. We understand that it is very difficult for a lot of local Malays.
@@MaaraAcademy Luckily most local favourite dishes are within reach with Malaysia's Bottom 40% earning between RM1,500 to RM 3,500 monthly as atypical lunc or dinner cost less than RM10
That rice cube eaten either with peanut sauce or 'lontong' gravy or rendang. Not for the normal daily stuff. If you have your gravy of choice, you can try too.
It's only daily for some districts like Johor like Muar, Kluang or Batu Pahat, it's our common breakfast 😂
Most people here mix english with Bahasa ...just find simple word and try it...
In the 80s - 90s in the UK everthing was in pennies and not more than 2 pounds

Can you please tell us the name of the halal sushi buffet you were talking about?
All sushi or Korean dishes here in Malaysia are halal, and there's one with a Muslim owners. Even hotel serves Halal food to cater to their large Muslims customers. Non halal food are mostly in Chinese or Indian restaurants.
@@nutzhazel Thank you, I just wanted to know what does he suggest:)
can you tell me the name of the place you mentioned the one with the Muslim owners, please?
The sushi in the video is belong to AEON..you can find it in any AEON mall in M’sia. Usually its located at their groceries section, next to payment counter on the ground floor. You can Google the info of Muslim owner & the brand online as well

Alamak tu ketupat kang dh masak tk jd rupa dia nak satu hal
Up the prize then your stall will be close by govermant😊😊😊they cant lies in malaysia..crazy huh...
Hi guys, just wanted to provide supplemental information regarding the halal situation in Malaysia.
Muslim friendly doesn't necessarily mean that its non-halal, it varies by stalls/restaurants and supermarkets as well. The halal certification by the government of Malaysia is a rigorous certificate to obtain, even by Muslim vendors, so having the certification gives you 100% confidence that the respective store is halal in all aspects. However, this doesn't mean that stalls/restaurants without the certification is non-halal. Ask if you're in doubt. Just because it has Chinese writing doesn't necessarily mean it's non-halal.
Hope you guys have a great day, and I hope this information can help those who are interested in going to Malaysia one day!
Thank you for sharing that!
@@MaaraAcademy put ur mind at aint it if the package has a halal logo.
