My Caucasian friends from USA, UK and Canada swore the best food they ever tasted in their lives are Malaysian food. The amount of varieties in Malaysia are insane! The big problem now is... they no longer are satisfied anymore once they are back to their own countries. They are all craving for the insane Malaysian food again....and are already making plans to return to KL at the end of this year just for the Malaysian food LOL!

1. Malaysian food is absolutely incredible. 2. I feel like she felt you couldn't afford more food so she gave you the omelette 🤣 Ain't that an amazing lady haha

The Malaysian palette is the most advanced since we've been multicultural for a long time...hence why any other country's dish becomes next level when they're sold in Malaysia, otherwise they won't be able to stand neck to neck with local food. As you say, they have to bring their "A-game " ! Famous international chefs secret destination to get a balanced palette POV is Malaysia!

Wow great sharing my friend , looks so yummy yummy food there❤❤❤❤

while most bird uses twigs, leaves, and random objects to build their nests, the one you're drinking is the nest of swiftlet bird (burung layang-layang in Malay) which is made from the bird's saliva and it is rich in collagen and famous among Chinese people

I love how confused you look😂😂😂 And how you're so enthusiastic about trying everything once😂😂

If you never have rice anywhere else, you must have it when you're in Malaysia. We have so many absolutely delicious rice dishes from all the different cultures here in Malaysia. You wouldn't want to miss out when you're visiting here.

Love the video bro❤

Thank you for this wonderful video. Welcome to KL, Malaysia.

Enjoy your stay in our beautiful country, food haven ! ❤

The round things in the bird nest drink is dried longan. Fresh longan is white, dried longan is brownish, we use dried longan in dessert drinks.

Awesome 👏

Please max out your 3 months visa and explore other parts of Malaysia. Each state has its own specialty dish. You will love them all. After that, move to Malaysia. Permanently; food alone is a good enough reason. 😊

Yes you can eat bird nest and it is very expensive. It contain lots of protein and carbohydrates. Improves overall health🤩.If you have heaty body bird nest drink is good for you. Bird nest is very popular among chinese community

Watching from Melaka, Malaysia 🇲🇾🌺

Thanks.

Birds nest are pretty expnsive but they are good for you, u can eat the whole thing. Its kinda like Chinese medicine. Me personally, love them as they are hard to find in the US even at Asian markets

Suhanjaya Lian enjoy watching....

The Bird's nest drink is a very common drink for the Chinese community not only in Malaysia but around the world. It's a nourishing drink that has high amounts of collagen, and it's supposed to have anti ageing properties in it. They're not cheap, though, and yes, Malaysia is the definitive food capital of the world!😂

Try the place called Rebung by chef Ismail. It’s a Malay buffet. A bit upscale but totally worth the price. Another place is Sambal Hijau that has 80 different dishes. Nasi kandar pelita for Muslim Indian and definitely lot 10 for Chinese food. Look for restaurant called KinKin for the iconic chili pan mee. There is kin kin in the lot 10 food court 😊

sir ur eyes is really pretty.. nice vlog btw

Bird’s nest drink is a nutritious concoction made from the nests of swiftlets, a type of bird found in Southeast Asia. These nests are made from the bird’s saliva and are rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, and iron. Bird’s nest soup is a popular dish in Chinese cuisine, but bird’s nest drink is more convenient and can be consumed daily. It is believed to have positive effects on one’s appearance and health when consumed regularly.

Sambal balado looked awfully tempting, nothing like a hidden gem of a place in a huge metropolis

I love how she gave you the omelette to help fatten you up or something haha

God bless Anthony Bourdain's soul! I simply love his humility, adventurous palate and dark sense of humour. Missing him too! Keep up the good work! You could be the next Anthony Bourdain, maybe? ❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😉😉😉

welcome sir✌️😁🇲🇾♥️🇺🇲🇨🇦

Respect your courage to try a bird nest drink..it is only recently available in a soft drink style

When eating out don't be surprised by random strangers or restaurant owners or hawkers giving you free food. Its our culture to give food treats especially to our guests or visitors as a token of our hospitality. Birds' nests are very expensive delicacy and very commonly consumed by the Chinese. The bird's nest itself consists of tasteless strips. The round things inside are probably longan fruits which are very commonly used in desserts.

Jonathan, thanks for your compliment about Malaysian food, especially laksa. There are many versions of laksa in Malaysia that vary from different states, like Penang laksa, Johor laksa, Nyonya laksa, Pahang laksa, Terengganu laksa, Sarawak laksa etc. And they are my faves too! 😋 P.S: The bird nest drink you had was a blend of honey and white fungus, if I'm not mistaken. It's a refreshing drink and I hope you enjoy it! 🥰 @TravelEscapesDetour

Bird nest is from bird's saliva..it's been cleaned up thoroughly before processing into health drink..it's not cheap either but is very good for vitality and health.. Malaysia is one of the biggest bird's nest producers in the world.. Malaysia is a melting pot of Asian, Eastern and Western cultures, foods and cuisines.. Malaysia is truly Asia 🇲🇾❤️😊

I was just looking at flight options to KL or Penang from Cebu. This was timely. Now I need to know what's up with that bird's nest drink.

Bird's nest - kinda solidify swiftlets saliva. Originally used by Chinese as traditional refreshment drink, especially to the ladies. It keeps their skin good and with glows.

I loved tofu sambal ..nything that is sambal is ❤

👍👍👍

Beef rendang is the best for me. It's just really spicy

Yeh..many options if you eat any type of noodles or laksa, they are all different, such as MEE goreng, curry, bandung, hailam, mamak, kahwin, hoon, and many more noodle, and LAKSA Johor, Penang, Sarawak, and Kedah.😅

Hi jonathan welcome to malaysia ❤🇵🇭

Bird's nest is mainly a Chinese delicacy that is very expensive because of the scarcity and prep work to get it ready for consumption. Nowadays people rear the swiftlets in concrete buildings, but traditionally, the nests are harvested in caves or high cliffs. A very precarious job.

That is egg tofu.. my favourite 😋

Nah i'm in love with mozambican foods ❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊

Hi Johnathan, Birdnest is not made from twigs and straw. The bird brings up a semisolid product that they put on the rock surface in a cave or overhang to build a nest. Popular in China and S Asia. I still love your videos... Maylay has changed a lot since my days there. (In a good way). So many places to explore.😊

Self-service karinderya.. that's cool 😊

Truly All Blue.

Nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, nasi lemak, nasi campur. Plus indian cuisines, chinese cuisines

Hi Jonathan, great video of your food tasting experience in Malaysia. That Bird's nest drink was sure unusual. It sounds disgusting but the floating stuff almost looked the color of an egg and it was in the shape of a very young baby bird. Must say you were brave to try it. With it having the taste of a honey tea was most unusual.

Welcome to our beautiful Malaysia, anyway you have beautiful eyes 🤭😁🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

The bird nest already mix with the water. Actually the things that you eat is fruit name longan

Birdnest is the nest of a bird that uses its saliva to make their nest....we use the nest as a flavour to make a health drink

i think round floating stuff is longan fruit. the white fluffy thing itself is the bird's nest. It is "supposedly" to be nutritious but it's just bird's saliva imo, nothing special. it's expensive because it's very difficult to obtain

Mate that's the weirdest plate of food I've ever seen anyone get ahaha. Where is your flippin rice?!

Bird nest is extremely good for the skin, its also really expensive

sir make more video👍😁

normaly in bird's nest drink, there is also Chinese dates in it. Bird's nest itself has no taste, that's why they put some fruits and honey to enhance the taste.

I hope you've googled BIRDS NEST by now. you'll be happy to discover that it's not made from sticks and twigs but a much better alternative. regurgitated spit and saliva hehehehe

Roti canai was no. 1 in 2022, then this year we are no 2 (2023).

I love that Bird Nest drink. Prefer the rock sugar version :)

👍👍👍🥰🥰

8:36 😂😂😂 or you can get one from the tree.. my chuckled just getting worse after this.. it starts slowly when you get confused about bird nest.. because i knew what you are thinking.. 😂😂😂

Hi Andrew😊

Brid nest is a collagen drink

WELCOME TO MALAYSIA❤

Swifts make their nest with bodily fluid. Don't think of it as saliva - it's not the normal kind of saliva. We consume animal bodily fluids all the time. Think of it like milk or honey - animal fluids. It's mostly collagen so it's mostly jelly-like. It's generally tasteless - it's more of a texture kind of thing - just like jelly. You can flavor it with any flavor you like.

Laksa is my favorite one 😅😮

Hi Jonathan

Street food is the best!...just follow the locals 😊

🇲🇾♥️👍

Swallow nest, rich in collagen

Bird nest in the bottle 😂 look struggle to digest 😂

Hahahaha it’s quite good I think that’s hilarious 😂

i'm muslim. Watching our India aunty foods make my mouth watering, but we can't eat them😭

bird's nest benefit : kzfaq.infokI3mjOIo0GE

Birds nest is made from birds sliver. Your primary KZfaq channel link doesn’t work tho

That is egg tofu not soy bean tofu. The drink at KK Mart is swiftlet bird nest...

If you love laksa..you should go to borneo to taste sarawak laksa..👍

No worries mate dat bird nest isn't anything like d one u probably conceived in yur mind,dat bird nest is loaded with goodness not only fit fr human consumption but it's kindda elixir bro,gud quality ones can cost few thousand ringgit

Why no rice bro?

what ?? if that so, i am eating the best food in the world...like every meal of my life....🎉🎉🎉😂

Rm9 ringgit for one tofu one fried egg n 2 small chunks of chicken with one bottle water is expensive😳

Chinese eat bird's nest. Bangla workers don't and it is expensive. Usually bird's nest + rock sugar + longan fruits. You asked a bangladeshi, he will not know even in 100 years time.

Your chances to meet a local Malaysian in Kuala Lumpur is probably 65%. The rest are foreign workers , foreign students and foreign tourists😂😂

Dude . Get some rice!!!😂😂😂

It's funny how the dude had to say "bird nest" like 3 times before you could finally wrap your head around the fact that it's an actual bird's nest 🤣🤣

You must eat rice with those chicken etc

I eat at the indian food stall every other week. She definitely over charged you at the beginning but felt sorry and decided to give you an extra omelette. But don't feel bad, as she does that to locals as well. She charges depending on patrons affordability. If she thinks you are a manager, she will charge more than junior executives.

the birdnest drink its not made from the actual sticks and leaves of the birdnest but the spit of the bird. Those noodles you tested was the spit

I visited Malaysia twice and i fail to appreciate or eat the food that made me wanna go back again..none.

Fabulous food? Nahh.. you're just hungry . But its smart of you to avoid tourist spots but just blend in with locals instead. Mind you food prices in the city is still relatively high.

Foods by regions : Arab & middle Easten Asia foods ..very meaty & hardly any vegetable in their foods. Indian, Bangladeshi & Pakistani foods A-Z curry😂. Chinese foods is comprehensive but The Chinese foods have no raw vegetables aka salad. The Philippine foods are very heavy on pork dishes. Vietnamese food has a lot of raw vegetables+spring rolls but lack of spices. If you want to compare what come close as the best foods countries are Thailand , Indonesia and may be the Japanese foods but while their foods is very delicious it lack of varieties to make it represent truly Asia's cuisines.

you not in philipines anymore??

Shake a bottle and u can drink bird nest easily...

Welcome to the food capital of planet Earth..😅

She's an Indian ,so what was she cooked and sell are Indian food or at least there's a twist of indian foods. And yeah you ate small amount ,everytime you'll be in food trip try some more because your not often eating rice so you will not be full immediately.

I am not a Indonesian but I travel to Jakarta for the food once a month. Gado dado, Tahu goreng, Nasi Uduk, cendol, bakcang, satay.... cumi mentegga and plenty more

Bro i think u eat chinese food will suit u..coz they're not spicy at all!!

Dn't trvel alone

Dude , not might have. They have . Experience it how a local eat , the way you eat ……….westerners style . Youre not Really experiencing the local way. Dont bother looking for local local food . You stick to the touristy area

Yes malaysia is a melting pot, try travelling out of the capital to other states

Baluk & a bird???

U must be kidding
