  • I traveled to Kampung Baru in Kuala Lumpur to find the best Nasi Lemak, a local dish that is a staple here in Malaysia. It was my first time trying Nasi Lemak so I asked the locals where the best was. Along the way I ate some other authentic Malaysian foods and chatted with some of the friendliest people you will ever meet.

    There are lots of Indonesian migrants and traders there. They could not communicate well in English and came across as aloof. Malaysians are genuinely friendly and curious like that Putu Piring guy and they can converse well in English. Putu piring is difficult to get because making it is a slow steamer process.

    Jacob / Jacobo such a beautiful name tater. It's safe to say Jacob is one of the all-time classic name choices for baby boys. From the Hebrew Ya'aqov, Jacob can mean "to follow, be behind," but it can also mean "to supplant, overreach" or come from the Hebrew word for "heel." It can also mean "may God protect." All are based on the biblical story of Jacob.

    Kampong Baru is the Malays heritage village in the middle of KL city centre. It turned into a food village. There are many alleys with streetfoods n restaraunts other than the main entrance gateway that u stand at the end of the video. At some corners it has a thai vibes. Generally cheap and varieties of authentic malaysian foods in KL where the locals go.

    There are many good nasi lemak. A real good nasi lemak comes with pandan coconut rice, crispy anchovies n deep fried salted peanuts, sambal thats sweet n spicy or mild spicy, a hard boiled egg, and lastly fresh cucumbers. Mixed them together and eat up. Best way to eat nasi lemak.
    The beef (daging) or lamb (kambing) rendang, curry chicken or squid(sotong) can request to be served separately.😊
    Can try those nasi lemak from pasar malam ( any pasar malam one of them is PJ SS2). Its great. But pasar malam if different day on different spot.
    Penang char kuey tiao is a must try. Or clam char kuey tiao. Also roti canai with curry or rendang is best. Bak kut teh in klang is good too. Seafood fried rice as well. Claypot chicken rice is also reccomended.
    Beef or kambing satay deep in satay sauce and ketupat. All taste good. For drinks can try teh tarik ( can request for less sugar or non sugar - kosong), milo, and asam or sam suan or mata kuching.
    Enjoy😊😊😊

    Its the reason why i ask first if its spicy or not and then i ask them to provide me non spicy dishes instead or atleast to lessen the amount of spice for i had a terrible experience in Indonesia and its like a torture really. The dish is good though its just that its insanely spicy to the point that i ask someone to find me and buy me milk at alfa mart to ease my discomfort 😂

      Our government do try to restrict the use on plastic bag carrier and the ban on using plastic straw. But somehow we missed to impose the law on using plastic container for food. Probably our ministry still surveying the best solution to substitute the plastic. There are few inventions came up but so expensive which will definitely make the price of food to be higher which is not in our favour generally. As a food provider myself, I do hope Malaysia will come up with better solution soon. We can show our support by dine in to avoid using so much plastic. Locals can bring along their container to fill in when they prefer eating at home.

    I don't mean to discriminate but the first stall owner you went to selling Aceh cuisine is probably Indonesian which is why it's hard to get a response since they usually don't speak English. The second one on the other hand is Malaysian - you'd be hard pressed to find a Malaysian who don't speak English or is at least able to get across what they're trying to say. That's actually one of the more difficult aspects for travelers is actually trying to distinguish a Malaysian citizen which consists of Malay, Indian & Chinese compared to working foreigners usually from Indonesia, India, Bangladesh etc. Hope you safe travels & God bless~

    Wanjo is not my favourite Nasi Lemak....But it definitely is most accessible to tourists ....Still ok
    Right opposite there is Kak Som, u can try Nasi kerabu. Nearby got nasi kukus I think.
