Hello Kecos san. Greetings from Ampang, Selangor. Nice to meet you. I just found your channel. Man, your English is better my Japanese, honestly. I can only manage to use Japanese in words only 😅 I really enjoy your videos, now watching your older ones. Looking forward to more videos from you. But more importantly, hope you and family are happy and healthy. Take care!
I think Malaysians said our food is more unhealthy because we have a lot more overweight/obese people as compared to Japanese who generally more lean. So we blame the food, well it's one factor contributing but it's also combination of more things. The food and drinks are more sugary and sweet, we also have too many variety of food/snacks (it's because we are a diverse country with a lot of races and ethnicity) which make us always craving to snack on something all the time. Our portion is also quite big as compared to Japan, while the price is not too expensive so people don't feel guilty buying a lot more food. And personally I feel like people don't eat enough vege and fruits, there's just too much refined sugar, carbs and fat. The lifestyle is also contributing, in Malaysia you rarely see people walking long distance like 1km 2km 3km (except when they are really exercising), we prefer taking our own car/motorcycle even if the place is near. That is because Malaysia weather is unpredictable sometimes too hot, sometimes raining, so people don't like the hassle and become very sedentary as compared to Japan, Japanese walk everywhere all the time, small children or old folks will all walk, we don't see that normally in Malaysia.
Hi, Mardhiah-san. Thank you very much for your Thank you very much for your insightful comment. In my view, Japanese are likely to enjoy jogging rather than gaining muscle in terms of exercise. It might give us on impact in physique. Surely, I saw some Malaysians with obesity. But no worries. In the past, I stayed in Canada, I saw a lot lot more there, XD. One of the triggers for obesity in Malaysia is that Malaysian food is too yummy, isn't it? Due to hot and humid weather, it is even dangerous to jog in Malaysia. Instead, many condos in Malaysia have wonderful swimming pool and treadmill. It's really awesome!

Hi, Angah-san. Yes, we 've been having more square (cubic) cars including mine these days, haha. One of the reasons is that people here are more likely to use car for car-dwelling (camping). Flat space within the care is very convenient for it!
Just watched your video. Love it and had I LIKE it. It is so glad that you love Malaysia love "Asam Laksa", "Cendol" & "Bak Kut Teh". When it is something delicious "Just Eat" ha ha ha
Do autumn usually start around October? It feel like the seasons been push further back compared when I was small back in the 1980's. Back then, we were taught that the 4 seasons up north are Spring start in March, Summer in June, Autumn in September, and Winter in December. And regarding Malaysian food, I do agree that some of our food are indeed unhealthy. And I'm not taking about those instant food or processed food. I meant the traditional foods. One of the many reasons is that they use coconut milk, which we called Santan, in the cooking. That's why some dishes like curry or rendang look so oily because the coconut milk contain oil. Coconut oil to be precise.
Sense of autumn depends on in hich part of Japan you live. Enven here in Hokkaido, the eastern area have autmnal season earlier. I see. Coconut milk! It's definitely iconic ingredient of Malaysian meals. I didn't know it contains oil. I really miss it!!
@@LostinHokkaido Yup, long before palm oil popular as cooking oil, people in SEA(I think in South Asia as well) been using coconut oil as the main cooking oil since ancient time. And coconut oil is known to be high in saturated fat. BTW, while typing this I was thinking, what do Japanese use as cooking oil in the old days before modern cooking like what we have today easily available?
@@LostinHokkaido He said the Bak Kut Teh packaging is clearly said from Singapore. 🤣 Which is true, but we also have it here in Malaysia. And in my city, there is a stall that sell Halal version of Bak Kut Teh, using cow meat and organs.
I think its about our version of the food, macam tomyam daripada thailand, tapi sebab kita dah biasa makan, so dia mcm kita 'punya' la haa gitu x tau mcm mana nak explain hehe Edit: he's a foreigner anyway, and malaysia ada chinese so, kalau org kata dimsum tu drpd malaysia aq pun percaya.
Any high carborhydrate, high sugar and oily food unhealthy. In the long run you will become diabetic and can lead to high blood pressure, kidney failure and heart problem. Its true that YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.
Hi, Pang-san. In the past, many people said, "Chinese cuisine is very oily and unhealthy." But now, the average life span of Hong Kong people is the longest in the world. Maybe Malaysians will follow the same way as the per capita income grows more.
@@LostinHokkaido I checked 85 years on average. Japan behind by a fraction. But the Oldest Japanese is above 120 years old. I still think diet of white meat and fibre is the way to healthy and long loving. Malaysians need to cut deep fried and coconut milk based food.

I strongly beleive that Malaysians eat less oily food and less sweet drink when the median ages get higher like the Japanese experience as of today.
Generally healthier than Msian food. The average Japanese live longer than the average Msian.
