- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- This is our first time in Malaysia so we spent the day discovering Kuala Lumpur and exploring the downtown area of Malaysia's Capital city to see what it is like today. We tried local street food in KL for the first time, visited central market, saw some main tourist attractions in the city and explored Malaysia's Chinatown as well as the variety of Indian foods here.

That mosque looking building is called Dayabumi complex..earliest skyscraper and used to be the tallest building in Malaysia in 1984....it is not a mosque but a commercial building with Islamic architectural influence....similar to the KLCC building . .it's also owned by Petronas property....
The place where 2 rivers meet is actually where Kuala Lumpu got its name from.
Kuala = river mouth
Lumpur = muddy

Just found your channel a few days ago. Loving your Malaysian content! Great country to visit. Can’t wait to go back. April 2023 is looking like our next visit.
Thanks, it really is!
Try and go to putrajaya government office around 45mins from KL to Putrajaya

Hurry and make new videos! And longer! I watched all and rewatch alot because watching the both of u helps my anxiety for some reason
its tourist area..try to local area more cheaper..around 10-15 only .. u should go to ( danau kota ) setapak area ..there have nite market everyday ( downtown ) more local .
Go to genting highland,cameron highland,fraser hill ,langkawi,
I have been to kuala lumpur..such a nice place and modern place,very very safe place to visit..and kuala lumpur 0.0% with slum
You guys are doing good.... As expected.... more views, more followers, more subscribers ..... joining you guys on your adventures....since the lockdown days in Laos and till this point..... and beyond....
Thanks a lot, we thought this day would never come 😂
Wow you guys really.... can eat!
That is Menara Dayabumi, It was one of famous buildings in KL bcs it was once the tallest building back in the early days
What a great looking city. Maybe next year.
Thanks for the video.
It's our favourite, place to visit. Highly recommend it.
Always be For Riel......
You are in kuala lumpur at the right time. because this 31 August we are celebrating our independence day! be sure to join our National Parade "Raptai Merdeka" at Dataran Merdeka KL. starting from 7:30 till afternoon. its gonna be fun. there will be a marching , and a lot of people celebrating and singing in harmony.
Maybe see you there😉
3:32 - Central Market (a.k.a Pasar Seni) formerly known as _Pasar Besar Kuala Lumpur_ which sold wet goods such as fish, meat, chicken, vegetables and groceries, the goods sold were daily necessities for the residents and tin miners in Kuala Lumpur.
The market once again changed its face when in 1985, it was renovated and upgraded. Near this market is an LRT station, the "Pasar Seni" station. Today, Pasar Seni with its art-decorated building is a cultural center for the exhibition and development of culture, arts, and the field of "handicrafts" in Malaysia.
Pasar Seni is a group of shops that focus on Malaysian handicrafts that sell traditional clothing and items such as traditional Malaysian batik.
7:49 - That is a call for Muslims to indicate that it is time to pray
U must try Indian rice feast with alots of side dishes..it's healthiest and yummy too
The building is the Dayabumi Complex. It is the central Post Office, shops and businesses. Food-wise, look out for Roti Canai
Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Wanna go to KL and explore right now hehe
Love what you guys did in your channel. Keep it up folks! 🤗
Thank you 😊
It's still quite funny seeing the river in Kuala Lumpur.
Really good to see the channel doing well in KL. Keep the videos coming....onwards and upwards. 👍👍😊
Thanks so much for always supporting our channel 🙏😊
The building is ' Dayabumi Tower' ....consists of offices & Petronas HQ...
Hi guys, both of should try "teh tarik/ pull up tea" come together with your roti canai/roti tisu or even mee goreng/fried noodle if you going to mamak restaurants/ Indian Muslim restaurants. I am guarantee you love it...it so cool man. Pls try...Milo ice as well
It's very odd until now, those stalls in Petaling Street still quote double the price of what they intend to sell to you finally. That's why all tourist need to be care when buying anything from Petaling Street. Don't just ask for a small discount. You need to ask for at least a 50% discount just like your sunglass. Another place where you need to ask for at least a 50% discount is our neighbouring country at Hatyai, Thailand.
Thanks for the tip 👍
Hi Sean...sorry for my absence...Will tell you all about when speak?? Just catching up with you...The dance group were really cool. OK their not diversity but they were good..Nice little festival..catch later M
So excited to see you guys in KL! You’re energy is palpable and it’s making us soo excited to travel SEA in a couple months! Happy travels!
Thanks! Best of luck on your travels 👍
You guys should really really highly recommended to hit the local night market. Not the one in jalan alor. Either in jalan TAR - saturday only. Or ask locals around where the biggest nearest pasar malam available. It'll blow your mind
Thanks, it's on our list now!
Do join the Malaysia independence day parade this coming 31st august 2022...at Merdeka square Kuala Lumpur. Huge event with crowds
See you there!
That building which windows made it look a mosque is called Kompleks (for complex) Dayabumi. Used to be occupied by the Malaysian Postal Service. Now I'm not sure.
One of my favorite places in the world
Selamat pagi. App khabar?:)
Hey and hello to Both of you! I just watched you're vlog and would like to thank you very much! I've lived in KL for 8 years and your video brought many, many memories. It's still haven't change that much and food prices still totally affordable and yummy.
Just to share couple of stories, the street you've unfortunately over paid a little for sunglasses was without roof top for decades. It was rough during monsoon season. Believe me, monsoon can be tough in Malaysia. For example, the river you've been admiring while on bridge, went so high many years ago during one moonson afternoon, literally off to the streets.l! Anyway I love cuti-cuti Malaysia! Enjoy your day. Cheers from North Germany PS. Dosa is such a unbelievable dish!!!!
One question, did you go to the 1st floor while in Central Market?:)
One humble suggestion, if you've got bit of time then Taman Negara National Park!!! Your up for amazing rainforest experience, one of the oldest on the planet! Besides a chance to meet the original inhabitants , " orang asli"...:). Borneo, Kuching is fantastic too...1love
Thanks so much 🙂 it's nice to hear what it used to be like years ago, we didn't go up the stairs in the Central market just on the entry level. Those places sound amazing, we love nature and definitely want to visit some tribes whilst we are here. Thanks for the suggestions, have a good day!
@@TravelsonToast you're most welcome folks! Malaysia has a great diversity. Overall lovely place to live. I still have a friends who are in KL for something like 20years and counting...:). Again thank for replying, perhaps I'll make a move back to Asia next year....:)
@@rafalkotowski3621 welcome to come visit Malaysia again 🇲🇾
@@lilianpoon5580 Malaysia has really captivated my heart. Cuti cuti Malaysia lah!:). Terima Kasih Lilian:)
The building is call Dayabumi..
Great! We love your video. Enjoy your stay here.
Having visited KL countless times, I enjoyed watching your experiences. The food is awesome and very affordable. Just stay away from the beer in Malaysia if you don't wanna break the piggy bank. On the other hand,the cheap price of food balances out the expensive beer. Keep us posted you two ultimate travel legends !
Thanks man, we're not having beers atm, a little detox is ok 😉
Welcome to kuala Lumpur for both of you... actually there is a lot of the best food that u never know in kuala lumpur.... Chicken rice(Nasi AYAM) that is one of the best food. . 😎😎 im glad both of u...
Maybe try going to Kuching, Sarawak in East Malaysia. Its about 1hr 45mins flight .You will be mermerisedby the uniqueness of the pkace... different tribal grouo, its nature, etc
Thank you for dropping by at our booth in Central Market, hope you had a great time in Malaysia.
No problem! We are loving it 😊
Loving you guys' spirit and openness! Malaysia is made up of 3 main races - Chinese, Malays and Indians - and that's why everything such as our food, culture, architecture etc. is made up of those/has those influences. And due to colonisation, you will also see influences of British (the red post box that you guys saw), Japanese, and Portuguese & Dutch (prevalent in the state of Melaka/Malacca), throughout the country.
For street food, you gotta try Ramly burger. A little bit of history, the patties were created by a Malaysian due to what he felt was a lack in "halal certified" burgers at the time (it was mostly Western franchise) back in 1984. Today these patties are sold to street food vendors all over Malaysia where they then open their own "Ramly burger" stalls. Each stall does it a little differently (like nasi lemak), so try till you find one you like.
Here are the keywords to help you order, mix and match to your liking:
Chicken = Ayam (pronounced i-yaam)
Beef = Daging
Egg made in a ring/ egg patty (no meat) = Benjo (you can always order this even if they don’t have it written on the menu)
Egg wrap = Special
Single patty = Single
Double patty = Double
Triple patty = Triple
Veggies = Sayur (pronounced psy-yor)
Cheese = Cheese/Keju
Sauce = Sos
Mayo = Mayo
More = Lebih
Less = Kurang
Without = Tak mau
My go-to is the ayam double special cheese (double chicken patty + egg wrap + cheese) but maybe you can order 2 burgers (1 chicken and 1 beef just to try both out). Special note though, not all street burger vendors sell Ramly burgers (some do their own patties, so make sure you ask for Ramly. Or if you have more time and stomach space, do try the vendors' own patties as well! Enjoy!
Thank you so much 😁 We will be trying ramly burger very soon and this will be helpful so thanks!
kwai chai hong petaling street art. part 12.30min. near the art wall there is a bard code, if you scan it, it will tell you the story of the art, through scanning the bard code..yea nice bro
Should try the keropok lekor on the right instead of fried wonton. That is local delicacy of east coast peninsula.
We will next time!
And also the banana fritters, so naturally sweet
The tall building that has windows thatresemble the mosque is Dayabumi.
Welcome to m.sia bossku👍👍👍🇲🇾🇲🇾

Go to melaka.. Penang.. Langkaei... Genting highland... 🤩
Try MTR restaurant in Brickfield for good South Indian food.
That is dayabumi..post office
That's building that you guys though is a mosque is actually a government buildings called "Dayabumi". At the bottom part of the building is national postal service HQ. First building in Malaysia that can withstand earthquake.
the building at 5.40 min is called the Dayabumi Building..its an office building..it was built back in the 1980s..its the very first ever skyscraper in Kl and use to be the tallest building in Malaysia.

Welcome to Malaysia....
Welcome to my birthland guys...hope both of you enjoy your stay. Cheers
thank you!
Try chicken rice with pork. Yee Mee. Hokein Mee. Char siu Pau( steamed pork buns.) Claypot chicken. claypot pork. Beef with Kailan and rice.Wan Tan mee dry or soup. Roast pork rice.Char kway Teow. A good refreshing beer to cool you down.
They added sugar , you can see it at 1.25 onwards. Well they’re made of some concentrated nectar juice
5:45 that's Dayabumi building... Petronas' old headquarters before they moved to the Twin Towers
Please max out your 3 months and visit other cities and towns. You can, for example take the train (KTM) or bus and visit Ipoh. It’s only 2.5 hours away.
We will try to see as much of Malaysia as we can!
Hi....feel free to take the ETS train from KL to Ipoh...I might be able to bring you guys out for a street food tour. Won't be available next week as I will be in Laos ( don't be jealous) and shall be available week after!
Have a good time in Laos! Thanks for the offer, send us a message on Facebook or Instagram 👍
Independence day is 31st august. You can watch the parade.
thanks for the heads up for the glasses price
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n thanks for showing your day explorations in KL.
Glad to know that u guys realized that some of d street food in Malaysia r really good in value. D artistic hidden place in chinatown is really beautiful.
Keep up the good content!
Thanks man!
Yes you have a look around first before you buy sure you get a good price. That is KL City Council building. The food in Malaysia is very cheap. The Mural painting was done during Covid19
You must try ICT shah alam place like a disneyland
Expats who stay for a longer time. 3+ months.
How do you manage your money and pay for things?
I imagine you dont bring heaps of cash to exchange it everytime?
Currently have a wise card. Are you able to pay with card in most places?
Or do you have money on lets say a Wise card and go to a local atm spot and withdraw cash?
Thanks!
We just have a travel card that doesn't charge the transaction fees when abroad, like monzo, revolut or starling. You would only need to pay an ATM fee to withdraw cash, but Malaysia doesn't have ATM fees anyway 👍
The chanting is actually a call for all muslim people to pray or a reminder for them to pray...its call azan or adzan") btw i love yall...epic travel
31st of August is Malaysia Independence day…Before covid, in the eve of the 31st there was always fireworks at the Twin tower KLCC area and also at the Dataran Merdeka ( Merdeka Square)…Am not sure if there will be fireworks this year but since everything is back to normal now, I foresee there will be fireworks in that area again as this year’s celebration could more special after 2 years of lockdown…you can enjoy it at the KLCC twin towers area coz normally the road will be closed for cars, so the people can enjoy the celebaration, but expect massive of people there…you can also enjoy it from Saloma link bridge which is a beautiful beridge, and your footage of fireworks at the twin towers will be awesome as the bridge is covered with LED panels that changes colors every few minutes…The bridge connects KLCC twin towers area to Kampung baru area by walking.
Can't wait to see the National Day celebration! 🎇
@@TravelsonToast it's today 31st August in Dataran Merdeka!
Someday come to jakarta Indonesia and try hight speed railway 350 km/ hours. GO to bandung use car 4 hours, but with hight speed railway only 45 minuts amazing guys wow😮😮 very very fast
Indian and Chinese food are almost as authentically Malaysian as Malay food - hence the low prices because they're catered to locals. Most have been here for generations.
Foreigners usually confuse Malays = Malaysians and don't consider chinese/indian as Malaysian. Many lerned or only realized that Malaysians = all races when they come though
It's expensive there in chinatown market and the staff there normally they kinda force u to buy after asking the price...try to danau kota uptown it's cheaper there
Thanks, we'll have to check it out!
For street food, you can try Masjid Jamek Market (nearby river of life) every Friday lunch hours and Taman Connaught Night Market every Wednesday night. Theres also Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman night market every Saturday night.
Thanks for the suggestions, we will check them out!
That curry looks delicious !! 😋
We here in Malaysia can get cheap food everywhere with the most freshest ingredients ever! Most of the foods were made with good hygiene. So seldom to make your tummy sick. But be wary of that spicy foods tho. Sometimes the spiciness can make your tummy upset. I'm not a fan of spicy food too. Have a good travel to both of you. Stay safe. 👍🏻
We lived in Laos for couple of years so spicy food or raw food is our friend 😅
I really enjoy to watch ur video 👍🏻
Thank you so much 😊
aww you guys would of bought the banana one to me it the best snack ever
Its not a mosque...its office building. Many petronas subsidiary companies in dayabumi complex
we would love to see you guys skateboarding at the local skateparks ✌🏼
Will do!
50 storey mosque... that's actually funny 😂😂😂
Most vloggers when arriving in Malaysia inevitably become food vlogger.
Enjoy Malaysia. Truly Asia.
Guess the food is the main attraction 😅
Nice
Kampung baru is where malays are located in kl. But others live in the outskirt too. Kl was founded by a chinese named mr yap ah loy (the kapitan of kl).
Not exactly correct but I give it to you. According to the late Prof Khoo Kay Kim, the real founder of Kuala Lumpur is Sutan Puasa. And Yap Ah Loy is the prime mover of building KL into what it is. But both are interchangeable depend on whose naration you want to choose.
should go to Batu Caves , you guys will love it
You can go yo Genting Highlands 🔥🔥
It's on our list!
In Malaysia, street food or some shop still add some sugar, but you can ask for no / less sugar.
U will get affordable authenthic chinese indian malay street food everywhere in malaysia.
Mario, that's a drink (Jarritos) very common in Mexico.
A masala dosa for 45p? nice one.. approx £7 in England now! Will go to that woodlands in Dec when we do another year out!. Hey the Roti Canai' are an Indian/Malay dish.. you'll see a massive flat pan that they cook the Roti on on the outside edge of the cafes that serve them!
(｡♡‿♡｡)
We don't miss England for prices like that! Roti canai is on our list to try 👍
@@TravelsonToast just double checked.. cheapest dosa here £7.45 :( ... :)
Really want to eat nasi lemak in the middle seat of kualalumpur city, salam dari jakarta👋
hi,try the food at chef ammar restaurant. i think you will be satisfied. but you should prepare more money.👌👌👌
I love your videos...honest and no bullshit...u just earned a sub...cant wait for more
Thanks so much, we try to stay true to ourselves!
I chuckled when you got excited of the monitor lizards. They are beloved by us, rat's natural predator and they eat snake eggs too.
You really love Indian foods...yummy..🤤
Olivia and the British colonial post box is hilarious 😂
Daya Bumi building the 1st Petronas Office building
Actually she added sugar for both drinks. see minute 1.26 to 1.36 she pour in one spoon sugar syrup each cup. Street drinks in Msia all is sugar added unless u request no sugar. If no sugar added the drinks taste less due to lots of ice cubes added
Oh we didn't notice, it still didn't taste too sweet. 👍 We will make sure to ask next time
5:46 It's Dayabumi, formerly it housed the Petronas (National petroleum company) HQ before they shifted to The Petronas Twin Towers....Now it is occupied by Pos Malaysia (Nasional Post Service) as the building next to Dayabu is the main Post Office
Thanks now we know 😊
15 seconds in seeing you guys buy things in Chinatown, I immediately thought "yup these tourists are so getting ripped off there". You can get knockoff glasses like that for rm15-20
go to kampung baru i guess, i saw many people like japanese visiting there to feel the malay vibe, btw i dont live in kl so i can't say that my suggestion is correct, maybe you can dig some information about it😊
Video coming soon on this 😁
