Today we’re going on a Malaysian food tour in Balik Pulau, on the opposite side of Penang Island from Georgetown. We’ll eat our fill of amazing Malay fish head curry and try some of the world’s best durian straight from the source.
Follow Lindsay and Richard for durian and fruits tours: / durianwriter
Kim Laksa Balik Pulau (maps.app.goo.g...) - First for breakfast we stopped at this historical restaurant to try two different types of laka, typical Penang sour laksa, and Siam laksa, both of which were delicious. Price - 7 MYR ($1.49) per bowl, 3 MYR ($0.64) nutmeg juice
Pak Wan Kari Sembilang Kuala Jalan Bharu (maps.app.goo.g...) - Next up on this Malaysian food tour we continued for some amazing Malay food including catfish curry. Price - 49 MYR ($10.40) for everything
Eryna Cafe Curry Claypot (maps.app.goo.g...) - One of the places I was most looking forward to eating at today was Eryna for their claypot curry fish head. It was so good I wanted to drink the curry! Price - 25 MYR ($5.31) per fish head
Next I met up with my friends Lindsay and Richard (www.yearofthed...) durian lovers and experts. They took me on a durian tour to some of the premier durian farms in the mountains of Penang. Thanks to Nature Fruit Farm Resort and Soon Huat Durian Farm!
It was one of the best days of food in Penang, Malaysia!

I'm malaysian been to penang 5 times but mark wiens know better places to eat than me.
Will definately visit those shops and support local businesses.
kim laksa tu nampak sedap sgt!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Tq Mark... for promoting Malaysian Food to the world.
Just had dinner, but got hungry again😂😂😂
Close ur eyes and hear 😅
Hahaha me too!! 😋
Lol me too
Yes 🤣
Mark seems to have that affect, for sure
Malaysian durian is the best in the world. While traveling around Melaka recently saw a group of young China students in a school trip buying durians to eat instead of spending their money on snacks and ice cream…durian is not cheap & that area is touristy so it’s even pricier
Balik pulau durian has its own grade compared to other places and that's why it's a bit pricey.. U can find a bit cheaper in Perak.. Here they sells musang king with a reasonable price
@@mamitaita9863 What's roughly the prices in Asia/Malaysia?
@@thorpet6235 depends on which place u buy. Nowdays usually around 25-45 per kg if black thorn.. Musang king is cheaper
@@thorpet6235
Cheap = RM7/kg
Normal = RM15/kg
Expensive = RM50/kg
Flagship = RM150/kg
The no name kampong durians around the Ayer Molek area of Malacca is a secret amongst durian connoisseur
Penang instantly attracted my attention and now is a top 5 destination added to my bucket list. The turmeric & coconut milk curry looks super satisfying with the addition of fresh herbs, chillies, veggies, & fish heads. The seared prawns married in that curry sauce had my senses activated just by imagining the flavors and aromas Mark was experiencing. Omgoodness Mark's reaction alone ignites my curiosity and cravings for these delicious dishes. I have been fortunate to enjoy authentic southeast Asian curries so I can imagine how delightful these flavors are. However, it's more fulfilling when you're actively in the motherland of these cuisines surrounded by lushly tropical landscapes with the fresh salty seaside aroma tasting the local ingredients and flavors of this amazing cuisines. Durian is an addictive sweet & nutty richness that makes you feel good inside thoroughly wholesome. Wow what a pleasure to experience overall!! Thanks Mark for this phenomenal content and introduction to these fantastic dishes in Penang!! Wishing you safe travels always & many more blessings!! Cheers!! 🍈🍍🥥🍆🌶🥘🍲🍛🍹
man,mark wiens & his friends really embrace their asian side esp on the durian side..the enjoyment of eating it,just priceless..
These Malaysian dishes make my mouth water😋
Come to Malaysia... 😅❤
Not all there are some which make you face food poisoning and diarrhea
Not all there are some which will make you fall sick, food poisoning and diarrhea
@@indyvaarmani7924
Come to Malaysia 🤩🤩
Penang Asam Laksa are cooked using Mackeral fish.
Shrimp paste in Malay is Petis, in Penang, the Malays there called it Otak Udang literally translated as shrimp brains.
The Vietnamese corriander leaves in Malay are called daun (leaves) Kesum, part of the Asam Laksa. condiment.
As with Johore laksa, the Vietnamese corriander leaves is served as a raw condiment.
Ikan sembilang is a coastal sea catfish.
Northern Peninsula states prefer to cook fish in spicy curry gravy, while Southern peninsula Malaysia prefer to cook fish in Cili gravy called Asam Pedas or Asam Tumis
Sembilang fish is not like farm raised catfish but they are caught wild from the sea so thats why it doesnt taste muddy. Great vlog Mark!
Sembilang and baung are the best catfish you can ever had!
pakwan kari is most delicious malay curry in penang..also pakwan is very kind and he cook the dish is from the bottom of heart..very sincerely to give people eat ❤
Sembilang is salt water catfish, Keli is freshwater catfish and they look similar😁
Easier to scoop the rice mixed with veg, protein and gravy. Forks and spoons are available at every eating place. You can choose to use them.
@@Berley_1234 for muslim, eating with your right hand is considered following one of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him* traditions.
It is the most satisfying way to eat. Especially when eating Eastern foods
@@Berley_1234 1. The flora and enzymes on our fingers are ingested when we eat with our hands, benefiting our digestive system. 2. When we touch the food with our fingers our mind sends a message to our stomach that we are about to eat causing it to start the digestive process even before we take the first bite.
@@Berley_1234 because that's our culture and we like it that way, and it's convenient too
Yayy! Another Penang tour! Been following this since the start and I've learned so much about Malaysian food. Amazing production as always!
you are so good with people! you can talk with anyone anytime, in any situation and it's never awkward :) I wish I had your social skills!
My friend in Penang Island bought a durian and cut it open in the room we used for me to cook an Italian dinner for a group of 12 people. I was about to throw up... he said, "You have to eat a piece, and the nausea goes away." He was right, but it was the hardest bite I ever took!
Malaysian people are very hospitable.. i really love malaysia..
Scooping the sembilang's gravy with your curry-soiled right hand like a true Malay old folks, you're really in the zone 👍🥰
Thanks for coming to visit Mark, was a super fun time to share some durians and geek out on flavors 😃
I was lucky enough to live on Penang at Jalanbunga Rampia near George Town as a child in the early sixties. The Durian masterclass was exquisite Mark. Well done. Catfish head curry is something I remember very well. Remarkably the island has stood up well to modern life. I can't wait to go re-visit in two years time.
Thanks Mark for Making South East Asian Foods more trending. Another 5 more Malaysian Food Series! Go go go... Happy hunting 🇲🇾
Enjoying the Malaysian series Mark! I hope you get to try Sarawak, and Sabah food. Kuching Laksa is very different from Penang, you should try it!
Thanks for letting us know Mark. Cant wait to see you again in Ghana.🇬🇭♥️🌍
Mark, Sabah is waiting for you. I remembered your early days of UA-cam (Migrationology) you did a short video in Kota Kinabalu. Do come back to Sabah!
Loving this very ‘local’ series in Penang island and mainland… man i miss my home state… gulai sembilang my ultimate fave…
🔥
i’ve been to penang many times but never knew pak wan’s curry exists, thanks for the review 👍🏻
Mark can really eat spicy 🌶️ food. Hats off to him 👏👏👏
Mark still going strong and as enthusiastic as ever👍🏼😄
Wow Penang has so much good food! Super affordable if you are coming from the US
I really envy you all.. for being able to eat durian at the original orchard... at the place where the durians fall... so fresh
Sometimes i wonder if he was really honest because everthing he ate seem super delicious with the same ecstatic expressions.
He has some videos where he didn’t like the food.
tq for having great time in Malaysia 🇲🇾.
I loved Malaysia. The people, the food, the culture, but not so much the durian.
u should keep tey eat durian,when i was a child i cannot eat durian too,after keep trying ,now i love durian
You can try tempoyak..
Dudeeee Durian is The creme de la creme….its our staple after rice and sambals 😂😂
No worries - it’s either hate or love - i don’t like the smell but my whole family love it.
Haha, don’t feel bad about it. If everybody loves durian then we durian lovers will be in trouble🤪
Greetings from Trinidad! Loving the curries feast vids!!!
I'm not a big curry fan, but after hearing, u describe it. I'd give it a shot. Great video.
Careful, it is spicy
Mark speaks so fluently and clear.. Normally I need subtitle when watching hollywoods movie but I can catch up every word he said
I am Malaysian and actually have worked and lived in Penang for 3 years in the late 80s and now resides in KL. After watching this video, I will definitely go back to Penang for at least a 4 days holiday to try out all the foods.
Mat Salleh hosting a Malayan durian eat out got to be the first i've have seen here.
Dude she is not ordinary mat salleh. Her name is lindsay . published a book about durian.
Lindsay is the most knowledgeable durian expert in the world. She is also known as the Queen of Durian. She is from Hawaii and there are durian on that Island too
Lindsay from Oregon, her husband Richard is from Sweden. She's a world renowned durian connoisseur
@@RainBaha Then she should meet me, I am coffee connoisseur ☕
So unique indeed durian mukbang?
I can feel the taste from the video itself. Super awesome content Mark!
My favorite food is curry with noodles, the Malaysian curry in this video look the same to my country ❤
Where is your country
@@AhmadAkmal-ry8qn Cambodia
Eating food is my passion, who is gonna invite me? Mark.🇬🇭♥️✌️👌
You have the best channel for SEA food!
Mark really knows how to enjoy food
Hi Mark….. it has been a while since I commented. I tend to drool each time I watch you eating. Welcome to Malaysia again.
That whole "fizzy and gassy" durian-eating experience was entertaining to watch... :D
Love to watch this series of Malaysian food.Mouth watering and looks so delicious.Thanks for sharing Mark.❤ Amazing video.
Balik Pulau is my hometown ❤
Oh Mark. You are soo mean. Enticing us with all these lovely food.
Pak Wan.....terbaik
Malays and Indians in Malaysia r friendly
I ❤Mark. Polite n Cheerful!
I am from this hometown ….. Balik Pulau ….. makes me homesick !
Been there. Amazing food! Thanks Mark for another great video 🙌 🇸🇪
Amazing Malaysia. I love Malaysia and their people so much.
Amazing wonderful eating and culture and people's of Malaysia.
new drinking game.. take a shot whenever he says oh ... dead in minutes
Penang the best❤❤
all kinds of durians. wow.
Let's put the fish head into my plate to explore it more lol Rare sight for a Westerner who can enjoy fish head curry and using his hand 👍
Yummy fish head curry. The prawn claypot curry also yummy too. Try the ice nutmeg juice there, out of this world experience.
Noticed that the Malay restauranteurs always give you free food, while for the Malaysian chinese ‘we serve you,but busines is business’.
Nothing wrong, but that’s the beauty of Malaysia
As a Chinese i have to say usually malay are more friendly and open
Malay always been taught 'sedekah' will bring more blessing from Allah SWT
What's your point?
@@Atr72fc he's blowing his own trumpet.
Muslims everywhere i think i went, not just malay in malay peninsula have that culture that come from islam teachings that treating guest to your best are one of most honorable thing to do is religion regardless if their different race or religion, regardless of their background, treat guests with great respect and hospitality because it is a fundamental principle in Islam. This practice of honoring guests is deeply rooted in Islamic teachings and is a valued part of the culture in many Muslim communities around the world
Love all your penang series !!! Hope to bump into you
I need to fly to Penang tomorrow😋
Finally Mark come to Malaysia and promote our good food, hope you enjoy and love your video very much.❤
Legitimately entertaining every time all these years. GOAT
I'll take that meal! Fish head, curry sause and rice. That's my kind of food too.
Thanks mark for making me fell more and more homesick. Its been 2 years since I ate a proper authentic Malaysian food. Damn I am feeling hungry watching this as I am eating my sad bowl of cereal
cereal is good for health, keep it up
@@Presso99sihatlah sangat😂😂😂 bukan real food pun.
Thanks for the awesome video, as a foodie myself and now bed bound due to illness I cannot eat much anymore. You're videos I wait for with baited breath to watch and be transported. Wish you could come to Durban in South Africa. Such great diversity of food here, fondest regards Shelly
Take care. I know cape town has malay ancestry with fantastic food.
Hi Mark! Come and visit Alor Setar!
Malaysians like it shrimp paste, it gives the extra ommph!. We will be in Penang next month and looking forward to durians (first) and food second.
like, watch n not skip ads ✌🏼
Thanks for taking me back to Penang, Best meal I ever had in my life was there.
What did you get?
Started with an incredible seafood salad. With 12 different shellfish and the seasoning sauce, yum.
Then, a fresh local fish (no idea what it was) but seasoned mildly, with a red curry sauce on the side, very nice.
Then, a porterhouse steak (about 2" thick), with asperges and baked sweet potato. All cooked perfectly.
And all that on a poor sailor's budget, it came out to be about $5 US. Incredible meal, incredible tastes, incredible price.
@@garyhervig3327 that sounds amazing. It makes me want to plan a trip to the area
Sedapnyaaa! I love durian, kari ikan, assam laksa!
I can smell the curry from your video 😂
lol I think Mark is sold on the eating with your hands thing :D
I would never eat a pipis hot curry with my hands.
True legend.
Kampung (village) durian is less fleshy, less filling but more complex taste. I love it more than Musang King.
Well originally durians came from village durian. But Malaysian scientists performed grafting of the varieties to perfect the species. Thus d197 musang king was a success all over the world.
try tok litok durian in Kelantan to taste different
Those dishes looked amazing and I have to say that the Malaysians and especially in Penang the people are soooo friendly and kind. Compared to Europe? Damn no comparison! The Malaysians put almost all the Europeans to shame. Once you visit this Island you always want to come back. Maybe I need to relocate from San Francisco to Penang, Malaysia! ❤💖😋😋😋😋
No matter what’s the outcome of the food whether it’s sour, spicy, sweet, salty, tasteless or delicious, Mark’s facial expressions remains smiling at all times. That’s the gist from the land of smile 😀
Sedapnya tengok mark makan nasi campur..
All those places are just minutes from where I am in Balik Pulau haha. Loved that you covered them!
Loving your Penang series too Mark!
Cheers!
Your are so lucky mate
You can keep the fish heads.... I'll take the durian!!! 😂
Awesome job mark with the food vlog drop a like for you.
I still love how Mark shows he is cultured by eating rice with his hands in Malaysia
He was raised in Kenya. That's probably where he learned that
yoo mark video is getting better and better
This guy really know to eat 👍👍👍
You shld see zermatt neo
You shld watch zermatt neo
Balik Pulau means:
Backside/Otherside of the Island
this name is believed to be popularized by people from the mainland as reference from their point of view when entering the Penang Island
Anda membuat saya lapar 😅
I love watching you eat delicious food, it's very appetizing😋
Mr Wiens, you can go to Kuching,Sarawak. Try kolo mee and laksa Sarawak
Awesome food adventure Mark 🙌🏼
Penang's food scene always amazes me, and this fish head curry is no exception. The combination of spicy curry and durian is so unique!
I love fish head curry
Very nice zabdast shering beautiful views big like
The moment you start to use your hand to eat rice, you immediately win the respect of the local Malay community and are instantly accepted as part of them. Then you get free food. 😄😄
Fish head curries looked so yummy but so spicy. Love durian but I don't think I would love to smell it everywhere I go on the island. Malaysian durians are truly the best in the world 🤤
Fun fact, the mural building actually serves a purpose. It is used to harvest birds nest to be used for human consumption
Omg, I need this food right now, can't get it, I'm salivating for real. Asian cuisine is the best!!!
damn this making me hungry again 😨🤤 as always, love your video. keep it up
Thank GOAT Foodie ..welcome to Malaysia..
Always great videos 👍
Ah, he found my favourite laksa place in Penang :) Damn this Mat Salleh is giving me heartburns with the amount of food he eats.
Mark ,you should try to go to east Malaysia . And try the different tribes foods and local food and seafoods .
Kari kepala , ya allah sedap gila
yea
Man that durian appreciation session is another level
