I have a lot of respect for you guys. Both of you have a lot of experience already visiting Malaysia and South East Asia and have a good sense of how locals and communities live here. Please do not be afraid to express your opinions be it bad or good so we could hear what outsiders think about their perspectives or where possible and necessary correcting you with facts or hear our own opinion towards any issue.
Thanks so much for that. We believe that we should say our opinions no matter what as long as we’re not offending anyone. Most of our experiences in Malaysia and south east asia are good that’s why we’ve been here for so long. we travel to see things not to criticise nor judge but everyone is entitled to have an opinion 🙃😁😁
@@Travelgramers Melaka and Penang state as a whole do have a lot of beautiful churches as well dotted everywhere from little towns to cities. Perak and Sarawak also do share a lot of churches especially in the older towns.
The lake in the city used to be where an all-girl’s convent school stands, they demolished it to rebuild the school elsewhere as the city was developing. But the site got flooded, no one’s bothered to flush it out and that’s why it’s a lake now.
That giant lake used to be the Convent girl school. it was demolished to make way for a new mall or something. They started with the underground car basement and rumour has it that water started to fill these and no matter how they try to take the water out, they can never completely drain it. They don't know where the water is coming from and people say the water has some healing properties. It's sad that they demolished the school as it was the architecture of the colonial days. Beautiful school.
My hometown which most travellers will skip... but we do have some hidden gems. One of the famous food that originated from here is the Seremban Siew Pao.
Christiana is so good.. doing her research and gave us all the info.. honestly i didnt know history of minang kabau.. and she enlighten the details with simple and short brief.. i love it...👍👍👍...and not to forget the way you guys editing the videos... superb nice!! Thanks for your effort to make us feel like watching actual series for travel guide in your youtube channel...5 bintang!!!!😁😁
7:04 After few times of her history lessons, I start to like Christiana's explanations. Her accent is adorable. Thumbs up 👍👍for that. As usual, take care guys!
Jetlag Warrior in Terengganu, Ken is in Johor Bahru ( my home city ) and the Travelgramers are in Seremban....Hmm.. So OYO is sponsoring you now .... hahahaha! Selangor is back to CMCO so you guys need to do a bit of planning now. As always, stay safe, happy exploring....
It's so amazing to see, that Seremban, the dear loving hometown I grew up in, started from a very quiet lazy town to a bustling city that is beginning to have foreign recognition. This video really touched my heart because Seremban will always be the place I will love forever, and you guys really made it look amazing, you almost made me shed a tear. Anyways, I love the video, super loving and super chill, if I had known you guys were visiting I would gladly drive you guys around and show you places unknown to foreigners to go see beautiful rural villages outside of the city, good food hotspots, beautiful lakes and parks, and a good place for enjoying a view, because you guys visited too little of Seremban 😂, but your video was mainly about travelling on foot so it's understandable. Oh and by the way, the body of water you found in front of your hotel, it wasn't originally a man made lake, it was previously a convent school for girls where my mother went. It was a beautiful school but unfortunately it was demolished which caused quite a stirr and controversy. The Church you were denied entry to, was a school that my uncle went to, and with or without covid visitors aren't permitted that much because its a school, and the ferocious lady who worked as a guard there, don't worry its been the same type of ladies since my uncle was kid in the 80's cause kids are quite naughty 😂, and yes my mother and my uncle and me are Malay Muslim but its quite common back in the days for Muslims to go study at catholic/convent schools, its a culture that is quite frowned upon up until recently. And the church you were able to visit was originally very old fashioned inside, but got renovated because of the old wood that stood throughout the hundreds of years began detoriating, moist and termites (I think). And the cendol restaurant you guys went to, is national treasure because it is so old and famous, that even my grandfather got to eat there, and it's a restaurant that had been running for 3 generations. Anyways I'm glad to have come across your videos, you both are so amazing and respectful, but don't be afraid to share your opinions about Malaysia because we Malaysians understand how foreigners think about our country. Keep it up with your amazing vibes, pray you success always, live long and prosper! If you want to contact me, let me know 😊
So happy that you guys are back .. have been missing the both of you .. Christiana is indeed very brilliant and talented ..she always got her facts right and explained very clearly .. in msia particularly in the big cities there are many schools that were originally being established by christian missionnaries in the 19th century .. I also went to one .. my parents sent me to the Methodist Girls Primary and Secondary school in kl .. although I am a muslim but I went to a school led by the christians .. the reason was at that time many malay muslim parents sent their children to such school to provide good english stream education to their children .. and this partly explains why many msian are able to converse well in english .. ok guys as usual Joao never fails to produce quality and interesting vlog .. take care and stay safe always .. love you ❤
Love your experience in Seremban. Will put both murtabak and cendol in my listing when the MCO is over. Hopefully soon. I have put Kuantan and Terrapuri in my list too. Cant wait to go.
Christiana, is smart and fantastic,I totally agree with joas..she take the initiative to learn the history of each states she visits.good job Christiana.
Hi guys, the first church is on my former school ground, Anglo Chinese Methodist School housing a kindergarten, primary and secondary school started by Methodist missionaries to Malaysia. Understandably they restrict visitors for the children safety. The man made lake beside your hotel was the site of another mission school, Convent Girls school. It was torn down to make way for commercial development. Water seep through construction site, flooding it and rumour has it that it never dries up even in drought season...Divine intervention perhaps? Hope you enjoy your stay in Seremban , a quiet place to raise a family.
Thanks a lot, yeah we had no idea the church was part of the school but then the lady told us and we obviously understood why we couldn’t go in, makes total sense to restrict entrance to visitors specially now.
@@Travelgramers 2:22 If you noticed the signboard above your head, it says SK Methodist (primary school) and SMK Methodist (secondary school). SK means "Sekolah Kebangsaan" which literally means National School. SMK is "Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan" which also literally means National Middle School. Interesting fact : The Malay word for school, "sekolah" originates from the Portuguese "escola".
Since youre in Seremban, Theres a beautiful jungle trek / river / waterfall / camping place to go. Its called Ulu Bendul. but its quite far off from Sban. about an hour or so drive but its in Negeri sembilan. But next nearest destination to visit from Sban would be the Port Dickson. its about a 35 / 45min drive from Sban. Theres lots to see n do in Port Dickson. Theres a lot of beaches there since its a coastal town. A light house, A Miltary Museum - Which is Awesome!!, trick art photography centers, exclusive high end hotel water chalets suites built right in the sea. Open the window and youre at the sea. you will feel like youre in a boat. PD has a lots of things to do.
If you notice, Malaysia is called the Federation of Malaysia. Its a collection of independent Sultanate kingdoms and Straits settlements that collectively formed Malaysia. Similar to the United States of America. Maybe thats why our flag is similar? 😊 So you have different traditions and culture in each state that is uniquely their own. Anyway, you guys are really enjoyable to watch. Keep it up guys! 😊
Good job Christiana! Good info sharing 😁 goshhhh that murtabak with the pickled onions looks goooooood..... i love negeri sembilan especially in the kampung area. Very laid back and chill vibe. So many things to explore too regardless being a small state. The cuisine (masak lemak cili api etc), the historical site (sri menanti palace etc), sunrise in Mount Datuk, Port Dickson beach and so many more... I'm in Selangor and not that far from you guys. If not because of the cmco that will be enforced again tomorrow, i would gladly take you guys around!
thanks my brother and sister..it your come again..yours i suggest go to kuala pilah' water fall(river...lot history about minang kabau in kuala pilah..bukit tangga in jalan jelabu have river .malay calling air terjun😅..nice to see your come to negeri sembilan.very close KL.. if you want find lot of story in malaysia yours guys go to melaka👍🏻..thnaks for showing negeri sembilan.respect👍🏻
has been waiting for your video... finally! actually, I'm a little worried about both of you. of cause I will drops a like and comment! thx joao and cristiana...
Very impressive histotical explanation on Negeri Sembilan and Minangkabau. Just found out from Christiana about Minangkabau deriving from the word Menang and Kerbau. Murtabah is a very popular food in Malaysia, it is commonly available in nasi kandar restaurant, food court and night market.
Hi! Joao and Kristiana, remember that we have met at the LRT station on the day of your trip to Seremban.I hope that you enjoyed your stay in Seremban.Well done Kristiana on the brief introduction of the Minangkabau culture.You got it right.spot on.
History is one of my favourite subject back in school days, I'm stunned by the way you explained perfectly correct 📚🎓. have a pleasant stay and take care 🌃
Glad to hear and watch your vlogs again. I have been to sreemban many years back. It is common to see a christian church and school in the same compound. What a cute ATM machine. Enjoy exploring while stay safe, stay strong, stay cool. Yummy chendol, both my fav drink of all time. Thanks for your history lessons too. You both are awesome. Try minang food....best giler. You entered a catholic church. There is a history regarding the lake in the middle of town. You can goggle it. Take care and looking forward to your next vlogs. Wow, good exercise! PEACE.
Finally a video from you guys!! Always interesting to watch and follow your vlogs. The murtabak certainly look nice and delicious 😋 Take care and stay safe.
For food there a nice small restaurant name Nelayan, near the training ground of NS football club. They have all kinds of masak lemak e.g. deer, itik salai, porcupine, fishes and air gula enau. Another interesting fact about the Minangkabau culture is that they practise Adat Pepatih. The Pepatih culture is matrilineal and patriarchal, with property and land passing down from mother to daughter, while religious and political affairs are the responsibility of men. And, NS is the only state that practises this, whereas the other states mostly practises Adat Temenggung.
very near your place find a&w restaurant , its there since the 70s, in front there's a big lake surrounded by hill top parks..quite nice ....u guys should give it a try
Welcome to Seremban Joa and Cristina. According to the folklore, the city was named Seri Embun by one of the earlier Sultans. There was and still is a palace up the hill near the Lake Garden. In the morning due to the hilly terrain around the Palace, the area was misty cool with dew drops. So the Sultan named the area/town Istana Seri (Beautiful) Embun ( Dew). There is also another palace up the mountain near the town of Kuala Pilah and it was called Istana Seri Menanti. Later on Seri Embun became Seremban and now it is the Capital of Negeri Sembilan State.
You both in Negeri Sembilan! Maybe you can visit Cape Rachado Lighthouse (Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest), the oldest and historic lighthouse in Malaysia. Stay safe Johan and Yana!
Hi guys, just to let you in on some info on that lake area you found in front of the OYO Hotel. There's a history behind it. That entire area used to be known as the old Convent Girls school of Fathima of Seremban. Now that is a very very old school that was run by a missionary of Nunhs from Britain during British colonization era of Malaysia. My mother and all her sisters were all ex students of this school. However sometime in the 90's I believe, there were some developers who somehow bought the land of this school and wanted to develop that area by building an apartment or a mall. Now in this school there was a huge stone statue of Mother Mary that was at the center of this school. Legend has it, that the developers tried to move the statue in order to develop the place. During the time when they tried to place foundations, thats when a strange occurence happened. The entire construction area was flooded due to a heavy thunder storm. That statue was said to have also been buried deep in that flood. Develpers tried to drain the water for years and years. For no apparent reason that entire area was Flooded. The developers also ran into financial problems during the 90s economic crisis. so the project was abandoned. That entire area was always covered with water, but heres the miracle, NEVER did it ever overflow. not even once and even after huge torrential downpours. That area never flooded the roads or the highways. the water levels there always remained the same. Many believed that its a miracle from Mother Mary, probably a lesson Never to mess with something sacred just for greedy selfish reasons. My mother used to recount that although we are all Hindu by birth, she did say that the Mother Mary Statue really did have a calming effect for all the students. Seremban residents always respected that area never to mess around. Nobody even goes fishing there too. So heres your legend about that area. ;)
@@Travelgramers Yeah great to know you guys know the legend too. Just another update tho, our Govt has just made an announcement saying that KL, Putrajaya & Selangor states will be in CMCO. Conditional movement order starting from 17th Octber till 27th October. This is sad thing. I hope you guys buy the neccesary essential stuffs. cant travel interstate, schools colleges n places of worship will be closed. so hope u have a heads up on this
@@Travelgramers Must visit to the largest wet market in Seremban and you will find alot of delicious food over there 😉 Probably a best spot for breakfast 😄
The lake in front of the hotel used to be school - convent girls school. Then someone decided to built mall or something but the project unable to go through. So they filled the place with water. Some say it haunted.
No its not Haunted bro. Its a sacred area which developers tried to develop. Theres a mother Mary statue in that old convent school. The problems started when they tried to move that statue. when it was flooded, the waters could never be drained. till today it remains one of Mother Mary's miracle actually
Please visit Restoran Mama World at Seremban 2 and try Siput Sedut or eat Mee Rebus Haji Wahid at his stall nearby.....if you have time also can visit the new Masjid Sri Sendayan
Negeri Sembilan is famous for Nasi Padang, Minacabau cusines and minancabau kampong houses due to lots of influence and migration from Sumatra in the early days. Have fun ...Stay safe kiddos!
Minancabau cuisine uses a lot of fresh herbs for their cooking even in their curries, they don't usually use powders (curry powders, coriander powder and etc)
Seremban is a definitely a good place to be during the covid19 pandemic. It has one of the best hospitals that can treat the disease in the whole country..
I’m really impressed with both of you! Obviously you have done some research before making this trip. It’s a pity you were not allowed to visit the church.
It’s ok, the first church shares the same grounds as a school so we absolutely respect their decision the second one we went around the place and was nice, we went just before the mass so there was no people and we could go inside but we didn’t feel the need to as we could see it from outside 🙃
Travelgramers ... really glad you finally managed to view the church! How many days will you be in Seremban? I suggest you try the authentic Nasi Padang whilst you’re here.
0:20 Major destinations in West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Ipoh, Seremban, Malacca - will usually have one or more "luxury" bus lines such as the one you took here. The ticket price is inevitably higher and the bus description will mention "luxury", "super comfortable" seats or similar.
We went on Saturday afternoon not to attend the mass tho but to see if we could take a peak, we went before everyone arrived to avoid walking around when people were there and not to disturb them 🙃🙃
It’s not a sewage pond, there was a convent that was demolished so a shopping centre could take its place, they started the construction process but for some reason the construction didn’t go through so that’s the result, it’s been like that since the 90’s. There’s some tales about the lake, some say it’s cursed and some say the waters have the power to heal....
@@Travelgramers Most likely 'curse' cause lake with fences around it usually bound with a backstory such as the lake usually drown/take soul person who come nearby every once a year 😜👻
I have a lot of respect for you guys. Both of you have a lot of experience already visiting Malaysia and South East Asia and have a good sense of how locals and communities live here. Please do not be afraid to express your opinions be it bad or good so we could hear what outsiders think about their perspectives or where possible and necessary correcting you with facts or hear our own opinion towards any issue.
Thanks so much for that.

we travel to see things not to criticise nor judge but everyone is entitled to have an opinion 🙃😁😁
Never knew Seremban got some beautiful churches!
😂 yeah apparently they do have nice churches here
@@Travelgramers Melaka and Penang state as a whole do have a lot of beautiful churches as well dotted everywhere from little towns to cities. Perak and Sarawak also do share a lot of churches especially in the older towns.
@@Travelgramersthe most beautiful one in kl is the holy rosary church but pj area also has a really beautifully painted church of assumption

Love the building for the cendol shop! And the cendol itself looks quite good - perfect on a hot day
You should try ....murtabak and chendol in Seremban. Love to see & hear your comments
Great video! Convincing us to take a trip to Seremban sometime
Come guys, the food here is delicious 😋
Ohhhh... that murtabak looks really good..!!!
My hometown which most travellers will skip... but we do have some hidden gems.
One of the famous food that originated from here is the Seremban Siew Pao.
Thanks for showing Seremban. It's quite an underrated city for foreign tourists. Amazing street arts in Seremban.
Nice street art! Love the kuih mural

Kuantan River Cruise memories!

More like a spa ride😅

According to the folklore, the city was named Seri Embun by one of the earlier Sultans. There was and still is a palace up the hill near the Lake Garden. In the morning due to the hilly terrain around the Palace, the area was misty cool with dew drops. So the Sultan named the area/town Istana Seri (Beautiful) Embun ( Dew). There is also another palace up the mountain near the town of Kuala Pilah and it was called Istana Seri Menanti.
Later on Seri Embun became Seremban and now it is the Capital of Negeri Sembilan State.
Welcome to my kampung guys, stay safe.
Christiana, u explained the Menang Kerbau history better than my teacher...thank you.

Yes it spicy 🌶
Negri Sembilan people love spicy dish..
Christina is brilliant
You both in Negeri Sembilan! Maybe you can visit Cape Rachado Lighthouse (Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest), the oldest and historic lighthouse in Malaysia. Stay safe Johan and Yana!
Thank you 😊

Yeah I did, in KB so long time ago, i needed a trim 😂
You should go to top curry house in seremban for Indian cuisine.
Hi guys, just to let you in on some info on that lake area you found in front of the OYO Hotel. There's a history behind it. That entire area used to be known as the old Convent Girls school of Fathima of Seremban.
Now that is a very very old school that was run by a missionary of Nunhs from Britain during British colonization era of Malaysia.
My mother and all her sisters were all ex students of this school. However sometime in the 90's I believe, there were some developers who somehow bought the land of this school and wanted to develop that area by building an apartment or a mall.
Now in this school there was a huge stone statue of Mother Mary that was at the center of this school. Legend has it, that the developers tried to move the statue in order to develop the place.
During the time when they tried to place foundations, thats when a strange occurence happened. The entire construction area was flooded due to a heavy thunder storm. That statue was said to have also been buried deep in that flood.
Develpers tried to drain the water for years and years. For no apparent reason that entire area was Flooded. The developers also ran into financial problems during the 90s economic crisis. so the project was abandoned.
That entire area was always covered with water, but heres the miracle, NEVER did it ever overflow. not even once and even after huge torrential downpours. That area never flooded the roads or the highways. the water levels there always remained the same.
Many believed that its a miracle from Mother Mary, probably a lesson Never to mess with something sacred just for greedy selfish reasons.
My mother used to recount that although we are all Hindu by birth, she did say that the Mother Mary Statue really did have a calming effect for all the students. Seremban residents always respected that area never to mess around. Nobody even goes fishing there too.
So heres your legend about that area. ;)
Thanks for this, we read it online after we filmed the video as we didn’t think there was a history behind it then but now we know 😁😁
@@Travelgramers Yeah great to know you guys know the legend too.
Just another update tho, our Govt has just made an announcement saying that KL, Putrajaya & Selangor states will be in CMCO. Conditional movement order starting from 17th Octber till 27th October.
This is sad thing. I hope you guys buy the neccesary essential stuffs. cant travel interstate, schools colleges n places of worship will be closed. so hope u have a heads up on this
Welcome to my hometown !
Thank you 😊
@@Travelgramers Must visit to the largest wet market in Seremban and you will find alot of delicious food over there 😉 Probably a best spot for breakfast 😄
The lake in front of the hotel used to be school - convent girls school. Then someone decided to built mall or something but the project unable to go through. So they filled the place with water. Some say it haunted.
No its not Haunted bro. Its a sacred area which developers tried to develop. Theres a mother Mary statue in that old convent school.
The problems started when they tried to move that statue. when it was flooded, the waters could never be drained. till today it remains one of Mother Mary's miracle actually
Thanks for the explaination bro. Been staying in seremban for so long and i thot its just another abandoned project.
Please visit Restoran Mama World at Seremban 2 and try Siput Sedut or eat Mee Rebus Haji Wahid at his stall nearby.....if you have time also can visit the new Masjid Sri Sendayan
Negeri Sembilan is famous for Nasi Padang, Minacabau cusines and minancabau kampong houses due to lots of influence and migration from Sumatra in the early days. Have fun ...Stay safe kiddos!
Minancabau cuisine uses a lot of fresh herbs for their cooking even in their curries, they don't usually use powders (curry powders, coriander powder and etc)
Saya orang Seremban🥰
Bro by your experience.. which country u like to travelling?
We liked every country but our top three are myanmar, laos and Malaysia of course 😁😁😁
Dont forget to try Gulai Lemak Daging Salai and Rendang Maman... that is my favourite food when i back to. my hometown...
CMCO in Selangor, KL and Putrajaya from Oct 14-27
Seremban is a definitely a good place to be during the covid19 pandemic. It has one of the best hospitals that can treat the disease in the whole country..

I (Cristiana) slept most of the way 😂 sooooo relaxin
You take the vip bus from Kuantan to Seremban?
No, we had a quick stop in KL to sort something out and then we came to Seremban from TBS station, we only paid rm6 each for this bus
Welcome to my town ! Enjoy your day and have fun 🙂

I think they have explored almost every inch of malaysia since two years ago 😅
@@aa.r2588 oh really? damn i think i need to watch all of the episode from travelgrammer then hahaa
The giant pool was an abandoned construction site since early 90s
I’m really impressed with both of you! Obviously you have done some research before making this trip. It’s a pity you were not allowed to visit the church.
It’s ok, the first church shares the same grounds as a school so we absolutely respect their decision the second one we went around the place and was nice, we went just before the mass so there was no people and we could go inside but we didn’t feel the need to as we could see it from outside 🙃
Travelgramers ... really glad you finally managed to view the church! How many days will you be in Seremban? I suggest you try the authentic Nasi Padang whilst you’re here.
We’ve been here for quite a few days already, i think a week 🙃🙃
morning...stay ssfe
You too 😉😉
You shud go to Sri Menanti for the history & Palace there.
are you guys still in seremban?maybe we can meet
We are 🙃
0:20 Major destinations in West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Ipoh, Seremban, Malacca - will usually have one or more "luxury" bus lines such as the one you took here. The ticket price is inevitably higher and the bus description will mention "luxury", "super comfortable" seats or similar.
We paid RM6 each for the bus, we had very comfortable ones when we went to malacca but nothing compared to this one 😁😁
@@Travelgramers
Wow RM6 - that's like nothing. Good for you.
@@Travelgramers 6 ringgit!!!!! Wowwww... That's cheap!
@@Travelgramers RM6 or US$6?
Ringgits.
We took this bus from tbs as we went to kl to sort something out after the road trip 🙃
Hiiii ! Have a nice day ! In Seremban
Thanks 😊
@@Travelgramers welcome
Finally 🤗❤🇲🇾
😁😁😁😁
Sunday morning mass....
We went on Saturday afternoon not to attend the mass tho but to see if we could take a peak, we went before everyone arrived to avoid walking around when people were there and not to disturb them 🙃🙃
Take care n stay safe..
You too 😁
I think it's a sewage pond !?? opposite the oyo hotel
It’s not a sewage pond, there was a convent that was demolished so a shopping centre could take its place, they started the construction process but for some reason the construction didn’t go through so that’s the result, it’s been like that since the 90’s.
There’s some tales about the lake, some say it’s cursed and some say the waters have the power to heal....
@@Travelgramers thanks for explaining.
@@Travelgramers Most likely 'curse' cause lake with fences around it usually bound with a backstory such as the lake usually drown/take soul person who come nearby every once a year 😜👻
I often follow you guys on your channel vlogs. I live in Seremban. Do get in touch if you'd like us to show you around or the outskirts 😁
Thanks so much, we are leaving soon 🙃🙃
@@Travelgramers no worries. Safe travels 👌
