We Malaysian love our foods so much! But, the hardest question to ask is “Where/what to eat (for breakfast, lunch or dinner)??!” because so many great place to choose… 😭😭😭😭😭
The "Dah Makan?" question is also asked in Tamil and Chinese (Cantonese, Hokkien or Mandarin and other dialects), as well as other ethnic dialects/languages throughout Malaysia. Same in Sabah and Sarawak. This is our common culture irrespective of race, religion or location in Malaysia. Food brings us together hence our open house culture.
Malaysia is the new Asian Food Capital. The great food has been there since ages, but only been discovered by foreigners recently. Among my favorites: 1. Nasi Lemak 2. Char Kuey Teow (both dry & wet) 3. Nasi Kerabu (Kelantanese speciality) 4. Nasi Dagang (Terengganu version) 5. Roti Canai (with sunny side up) 6. Tosai (fermented rice crepe) 7. Laksam (Trengganu's creamy rice noodle) 8. Satay Ayam (chicken skewer) 9. Nasi Putih or Nasi Impit with Chicken Taucu 10. Nasi Impit with Kuah Kacang 11. Fried Mee Hoon 12. Durian Soup / Gravy eaten with white bread (Kuah or Serawa Durian) 13. Cendol Ais Pulut (Iced Cendol with Glutinous rice) 14. Nasi Goreng (kampung, chinese, mushroom or any style) 15. White Rice with Ikan Keli Goreng Garing & Green Vege
i think,one of things we malaysian obsessed & appreciate the food so much is because before independent ,we young gen always heard the stories of our ancestors suffering/hardship due to ration by the colonizer such as the brit,japanese back then ,hence whenever we hear bout food either getting to eat/taste/dont waste it,we have our history to reminded us what has happend and learn to be more appreciate the food i think..
Yup, my grandma always told me that back then they don't even have rice to eat and only have cassava during the war. Then my mom said when she grow up, they rarely have protein like chicken or beef in their everyday meal and only get those things during festive season. So that's why they really appreciate food and that's how they brought me up.
Same with my dad actually. He was a kid after WW2 and he still remembers starving. Till now days, he never leaves a piece of food in his plate after having the meal.
@@MaxChernov then u know how it is..russia is one the world most most history of war since the dawn of time,even before russia become a russia, till modern times..and every war stories basically the same,worst come to worst,food ration is real,building get destroyed,one society will dominate the others etc..
bullshit. i have never heard of malaysians who speaks like this. THe only reason malaysia care so much about food because there is lack of activities to do compare to Japan, which has ski resorts, flower park of all 4 seasons.
I think what I like about Max interview method is that he knows how to ask good questions and follow up with his interviewer on the stories. So it feels like a normal conversation with a friend rather than being forced. The calm atmosphere background and Max giving his thought also makes it nice. Really wholesome channel, and if Max is reading this. I wanna say keep up what you're doing!
I'm curious, have you talked about Expats and Ramadan in your videos? I always wanted to know if there are any Expats that take part in Night Bazaars during Ramadan or if they join their Muslim friends in fasting. I'm especially curious about Malay x Non-Malay couples. Likewise, I am in an interracial relationship with a white ex-pat. So I am curious about what other couples go through or how they deal with it?
In Malaysia, non Muslims can even join iftar (break the fasting) at mosques..don't afraid to try if you are happen to be here. Of course we do have iftar in open space that you can join too..I guess you can find some vloggers post it on their UA-cam as well
Look at it this way. *'You are what you eat'* If you eat good food, you'll be healthy and happy. Hence, if you're healthy and happy you'll be a productive member of the society. That's one of the general perspective of why food is big here other than the optics of cultural or holistic. And economically - it generate a whole lot of money internally.
I've only been to Langkawi once in my life. Not sure when I will be able to go there again. Hopefully his restaurant is still there when I get a chance to go. I've been wanting to try some mexican food for a while now but I didn't know any that is available in Malaysia, much less in my area. Also with the halal issue for Muslims.😢
I know a few people who HAD restaurants and restaurant business is not easy. Even if you own a restaurant, it's nearly impossible to get rich and you work insane hours. Only person that I know that did well is they owned multiple franchises but that person just had staff to manage all the restaurants. They only did really well when they sold a few branches but it was tough for about 10 years.
In Malaysia there is Bangladesh 🇧🇩20% Chinese 🇨🇳30% India 🇮🇳10% Malay In Malaysia 40% In Malaysia, they don't speak much Malaysian, in Malaysia they speak more English, A colorful country
In Malaysia also there is Indonesia illegal immigrant, mostly females, and they get married with Bangladeshi, sometime they have husband and kids in Indonesia, but they left their family for their love with Bangladeshi worker in Malaysia. Most of the PROSTITUTE IN Malaysia also from Indonesia, u can get prostitute from Indonesia from as low as 10USD!. Bangladeshi worker is a regular customer for this Indonesian prostitute, most of the local is not into Indonesian hooker because of their unhygienic nature.
I don't think Bangladeshi is included in Malaysian populations. They are not Malaysian citizens. They are foreign workers. The Malays is more than 60%. Malaysia is a federation of Malay States, Sarawak & Sabah.
What’s your favorite Malaysian food?
Ahh, there r too many comfort food in Malaysia, my all time fav is nasi lemak, for Eid, nasi impit or ketupat with kuah kacang, rendang, serunding.
Malay - nasi lemak, nasi kerabu, nasi campur, rendang tok, ketupat or glutinous rice Northern style
Chinese - fried flat rice noodle, wantan noodle, cakoi or yutiao
Indian - nasi kandar, roti canai, naan, roti puri, pani puri
Lontong, Nasi lemak, Nasi dagang, Nasi ayam, rendang, lemang, Laksa Sarawak, Nasi kerabu..... Assam laksa 😋😋😋😋👍
Hard question for malaysian.. you always got multiple answer
Nasi kerabu
We Malaysian love our foods so much! But, the hardest question to ask is “Where/what to eat (for breakfast, lunch or dinner)??!” because so many great place to choose… 😭😭😭😭😭
And when in the restaurant, and some people can look at the menu like they're studying to change their religion.. takes too much time
Food is part of Malaysian culture. When we study abroad & promote our culture, we either promote our dance or our food.
The "Dah Makan?" question is also asked in Tamil and Chinese (Cantonese, Hokkien or Mandarin and other dialects), as well as other ethnic dialects/languages throughout Malaysia. Same in Sabah and Sarawak.
This is our common culture irrespective of race, religion or location in Malaysia. Food brings us together hence our open house culture.
It is the same in Thai, Tagalog, and many other Asian languages, as well.
Thanks for this wonderful video n for sharing your interview with Fadil.
You’re very welcome! ♥️

@@MaxChernov Wonderful. 😁

Another great content. Thanks for sharing with us... ❤️
Good content keep up the good work.
🙏
That's a really good tips, I guess just like everyone else I too have a dream to have my own cafe.
Yes..finally someone said nasi kandar in Pantai Remis. Its my favourite nasi kandar too, Nasi Kandar Pantai.
Haa once tried, will never forget!
Food is asian culture...hell, food is global culture
Look at it this way.
*'You are what you eat'*
If you eat good food, you'll be healthy and happy.

Great philosophy!
CAN LIVE WITHOUT MONEY, CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT FOODS.😋
Too short.... I want more bro...😅😅😅😅
What is your rating for Mexican food at his restaurant vs Mexican food at Singapore? Which one is better?
Actually, I really liked his Mexican food in Langkawi! In Singapore, there are few good places also, like Lucha Loko
@@MaxChernov thank you Max for your replied 😊
My favorite food is rice with sambal catfish = nasi campur.
I've only been to Langkawi once in my life. Not sure when I will be able to go there again. Hopefully his restaurant is still there when I get a chance to go. I've been wanting to try some mexican food for a while now but I didn't know any that is available in Malaysia, much less in my area. Also with the halal issue for Muslims.😢
Asking someone "have you eaten?" is just common courtesy. It's a Malaysian thing...no matter what race. We believe everybody should not be hungry.
Its educational thanks
You’re very welcome
Cuz the people is more. From over the world. N sometime they mix for business
Can mix... just add chilli padi!
Eat nasi goreng with nachos, that's the mix
Malaysian can mix with everyone, believe me.
Best dgr abang ni borak

Max, would it alright to share where his restaurant is located in Langkawi?
At Cenang Mall
I can't name one my favourite Malaysian Food because it infinity..😂😆, ok just one...."Penang Laksa"
i disagree when he said malaysian spicy is bland, meanwhile indian is spicy & full of herbs. i think malaysian spicy is full of flavors as well.
Malaysian Dah Makan or "Have you eaten" = "How are you doing"
Food is Malaysia love language
Rice to wednesday :V
no more content down there....he visit Malaysia for similar content .....
What do you mean? 🤔
