So hard to find Malaysian food in other countries. Really happy to find it in Istanbul!

i wish you guys are the owner

Malaysians still have a long way to go in promoting their food heritage abroad n have their own brand overseas. 😀

Probably you could find one soon in Romania Steve and Ivana. Great to see they have most of the staple dishes of Malaysia but I definitely doubt they will have Sup Torpedo on their menu. Hahaha

@@kcliew2493 😂😂😂

Yes! So happy to have it again

U guys’ eaten the best. Roti canai sarang burung.

Of course! You two would be all over this roti canai 😁 Thanks a lot, guys!

They have roti canai over there 🤣🤤

Thanks bro! Hope this shirt will reach many countries. Figured it would be perfect to wear for this video. Haha nasi lemak definitely stuck in our blood

Thank you so much! When you spend a year in a country and fall in love with the food, it sticks with you. Also not easy to find Malaysian food in other countries, so it was great to find it here!

@@FoodandFootprints OK...you made me look...there IS Malaysian cuisine in Philly! Will need to think of what the kid should order as a starter to get him into it. Gotta avoid peanuts in the dish.

@@SorgiStories That is awesome! Would say he should try roti canai - it is a perfect starter and unless they use peanut oil to prepare the roti or curry (doubtful), it should be fine

Couldn’t agree more! And nasi kandar too

@@FoodandFootprints Lovely. 😁

That is very true. Definitely missed some heavier lemongrass and lime leaf flavors here, but overall still nice

Highly recommend visiting, guys! So glad it is at the top of your list. We’ll have a lot more to come

It was great to be transported back to Malaysia for a few hours 😁

Thank you very much, Chaw! Totally agree the umph is there when eating with hand. Was a little rusty after months not eating with hands often though 😂 Istanbul is such a beautiful city and we will include scenes of it often while we are here

@@FoodandFootprints My pleasure....well, l could see that you are eating with your hand efficiently...👏👏👍 Wonderful to know you will be including scenes of lstanbul in all your coming vlogs...would be nice to watch both food and scenery there.

Yay, second.

Thank you very much for always supporting, Yasin 😁

@@FoodandFootprints Thanks for your wonderful videos. 😁

Thanks a lot, guys! Another reason for you to make it to Istanbul sooner than later

So happy it did!

@@FoodandFootprints Simply wonderful. U guys had a video, just about nasi lemak, terrific. I remember Jumi holding nasi lemak wrapped in banana leaf at a river in Kedah. So much memories of nasi lemak. Nasi lemak with spicy fried chicken, nasi lemak with beef or chicken rendang, all delicious. 😁

Thank you

Great meal for your last day before lockdown!

Of course! But also happy to be traveling

@@FoodandFootprints That's true. Travellers need to see new places n enjoy new food. 😀

Spread your wings n explore... bring us together... otherwise we are stuck here with Covid19... 😅😅

@@faridahfbp6592 We will!

@@FoodandFootprints It's really wonderful to see many good comments for this video, n some familiar channels. Lovely. 😀

Yup same one!

It is! Stay tuned, we’ll have lots more of the architecture to show. Really cool to find Malaysian food here!

Thank you so much, Linda! 😁😁

@@FoodandFootprints You're both almost welcome 🤝

Haha at least 4-5 months!

Thank you!

We did! It was our first meal of the day quite late in the day too. We miss Malaysia very much and even if the flavors aren’t exactly what we are used to, it still satisfies the cravings. Thank you very much! We would love to make it back to Malaysia sooner than later

@@FoodandFootprints great, looking forward to your next Malaysian food adventure.

Goes great with rice for sure 👍

Took lots of practice! Even then I (Greg) was a little rusty since it has been a while 😂

Yes! You guys have to try it out when you get back to Istanbul

Great choice! Love that nasi lemak

Thank you!

Yes! It is a great location to have a Malaysian restaurant too

Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot, Serhan! Appreciate that 🙏

Thank you very much! You too

The nasi lemak, roti canai and teh tarik in particular were closest to what we had in Malaysia

Really enjoyed the roti canai and teh tarik! Definitely brought back good memories

We definitely were! Not easy to find in Thailand

@@FoodandFootprints Glad u did. 😁

@@FoodandFootprints U guys had so much Malaysian food at that restaurant, it reminded me of my experience in Chennai (your step dad is from Madras, right). I was trapped in a hotel for two weeks, busy making preparations for an incoming business trade n investment mission delegations from Malaysia. But I got a few hours off my duty n sneaked out to a Malaysian restaurant in Chennai, had roti canai, had pasembur @ rojak, n another dish with teh tarik, unbelievable. And also took that opportunity to get a tailor suit made from Raymond. I was overloaded with food, but it was worth d while. 😀

@@Yasin_Affandi Yes he is! Ohhh pasembur - it is so nice with teh halia. Can imagine how good it must have tasted to satisfy that craving in India

@@FoodandFootprints Yes, it was, n I hope it was a wonderful experience having d Malaysian food in Istanbul. I'm quite sure, u guys r having awesome Turkish food right now or soon for dinner. 😀

Highly recommend when you get the chance!

Yes both were the highlights along with the teh tarik 👍

@@FoodandFootprints Both dishes r so good with teh tarik, or teh halia. 😀

@@Yasin_Affandi Totally agree. Miss teh halia!

@@FoodandFootprints 😀

Absolutely! A must order

For sure, especially when it isn’t so easy to find Malaysian food

Thank you very much, Karen!

Ohh nice! We were definitely excited seeing that big menu

Yesss! How can we forget

Back for one episode 😂

@@FoodandFootprints 😂

Extra curry is always good 👍

It did for a few hours!

It is 👍

That menu is massive! Easy to miss dishes on it

Ahh if only! Of course - we will always love Malaysian food!

Thank you very much, Wendy! We miss those bold smoky masak lemak cili api in Malaysia. Thankfully we ate A LOT of it during our time.

@@FoodandFootprints Next time in Malaysia, do try d smoked catfish, ikan keli salai masak lemak. And for d smoked beef, try with d masak tiga rasa, d Thai 3 flavors recipe.

Thank you! We are really happy with our decision 👍

Love sambal 👍

@@FoodandFootprints Sambal belacan, sambal tempoyak, sambal budu, sambal cincalok, sambal kicap, sambal manis, u guys had it all. 😀

Haha be prepared for more to come from Turkey. After being here almost 3 weeks, we can highly recommend Istanbul. 😹😹😹 we are cat lovers, so we are really happy to see them everywhere. 😂😂 wore that shirt for a taste of Malaysia since it is out friend’s boxing gym there

😂😂😂 yup!

😂😂

So great to have Malaysian food here!

Thank you very much! We will come back to Malaysia again for sure 🇲🇾

It is! Can imagine anyone missing Malaysian food who finds themselves in Istanbul will stop by for a meal here

Oh yeah! Believe it was around $14 USD for everything, so about RM59

@@FoodandFootprints Brilliant price considering its in another country... oh wow. In all honesty the both curries looks a tad bland but I hope they were packed with flavors.

The masak lemak paled in comparison to the rich and bold ones we had in Malaysia. Fish head curry was solid but also not as bold as what we had in Malaysia. Would say the first set of dishes were best

@@FoodandFootprints i would say it is because of the coconut cream that they used may not be the fresh coconut cream i.e,instant or packed coconut cream....

@@FoodandFootprints I was thinking d same to comment, but I felt that u guys already know better. U guys explored d food in Malaysia for more than a year. D cost, surprisingly affordable. 😀

We aren’t really into cooking, but we would love to taste test for anyone who would be interested in making Malaysian food in the US.

Will never forget it!

That was fish head curry 👍

Haha it can be a bit messy with the oil and yolk but still satisfying. 😂😂😂 you are a great brother. Can totally picture you yelling that

Oh yes! 🇲🇾🇹🇷

Thank you!

Missed makan by hand! 😂

Yep, because we usually eat nasi lemak with spoon and fork. In fact, when we eat out we eat with utensils and not with our hands. Love fish head curry, even much more than masak lemak which is not a favourite of mine even though I’m from Negeri Sembilan where that dish originates from.😊

Can imagine! Hope things get better ASAP so the Mamak can be back in all it’s glory

Yup! Just forgot to name the dish in the video 😂

@@FoodandFootprints ✌️🤣

Great start!

😻😻👍

@@FoodandFootprints 😁

Yesss!

In Malaysia you cannot find Salmon Fish Head Curry..

Oh yeah!

*Because Singaporeans they do measure/control (by weight) meal portions*

😂😂😂 bet we could’ve asked for more if we wanted though

😁😁😁

*Was it as close to those here in Msia?*

Nothing beats the masak lemak cili padi we had in Malaysia, especially in Kajang at Itik Salai Masthar. But also those ingredients aren’t easily found here, plus the itik + daging salai are absolutely next level

Would say of everything, the nasi lemak, roti canai, teh tarik and mee goreng Mamak were closest

@@FoodandFootprints *I meant the Fish Head Curry ... was it any good?*

@@adamghaniahmad It was enjoyable, but definitely not as bold and rich as some of the great fish head curry we had in Malaysia. The one from Annuar in Bangsar is the best we had!

Can’t satisfy everyone
