Seriously though, I think that stuff would do great in an American city. I always told my Malaysian chef friend that if she came to America to be the face of my food truck, we could make a lot of money selling roti canai to drunk hipsters. Make it gluten free and make a killing

Kill😅..pls just come back to Malaysia No more wearing face mask outdoors Only indoors like malls ..

@@kcheise I think that is a good idea.. Roti canai n roti john, satay and ramli burger should do.. You could make lot of money with only that menu.. Kaya toast and apam balik (peanut pancake) would be hit too..

@@burgerkill6705 I think I could! So the problem here would be that people would not think it was "authentic" if they saw me or my wife making it. I mean, once they try it they would be hooked though!

@@kcheise ya, I see your point.. I wish you can find someone, gud luck..

Thank you for your nice comment!

Ha everyone keeps saying just make the noodles. Apparently I will have to give that a try!

Thank you for your kind words. We miss Malaysia so much. Musim panas depan kami akan balik. Saya harap. Only to visit but cannot wait. Seriously it hurt us too but still worth it. Like we said in the video, for American it was very fairly priced.

Haha

Ha when we first went to Melaka it was so weird to see that everywhere. We were so confused!

So nice to chance upon yr vlog on Malaysian food hunt in the States. U must have stayed in Malaysia long ENUF to love the country & its fóod. Lots of foreign KZfaqrs caught during the Corvid lockdown in Malaysia had returned to revisit the country & discovering the old normal Malaysia, now that the country is open to foreign visitors. Selamat datang kawan2.

@@fredslhor254 We got to see the biasa and the berbeza. Love all of it!! Miss Malaysia setiap hari

There are some great videos on KZfaq about Buckees. Kara and Nate make great videos and they “lived” at the langsat Bukee’s for 24 hours. Check it out!

Terima kasih kawan saya. Iris dan saya sangat rindu Malaysia. Tak sabar balik.

@@kcheise How long both of you been in Malaysia??........ You able to construct three sentences in one go! And its not random sentences ( related to comment) and i understand what you saying.

Soon. Well tahun depan. But we are already planning and thinking about it. We miss Malaysia and kawan kami so much!

Aaaaahhhh. We saw that when we Google. Was it real banana leaf like in Malaysia??

@@kcheise Naa. It was just named Banana leaf but the best way to described it is perhaps , a kopitiam out of Ipoh. Offers the usual Malaysian hawker fare, nasi lemak, chicken rice, mee mamak, that sorta things... Also, they have another branch across the street, back then...not sure if the branch is still operating. Will try out Makan in DC in mid May.

Banana leaf food usually refer to indian food..they just stack rice, assortment of curry gravy, may be chicken or beef curry, some vegetables and etc on top of a piece of real banana leaf and wallaa..u got one banana leaf food 😁

Terima kasih. Sudah tinggal di KL untuk Lima tahun. Rindu pasar Ramadan. Sangat rindu!

Also, a bit late, but Eid Kareem kawan saya. Maaf zahir dan batin.

@@kcheise begitu juga dengan saya...maaf zahir n batin

@@kcheise owh...saya bangga mendengarnya, hebat...big clap thumbs up

terima kasih. Harap balik tak lama lagi!

Terima kasih Zailin! Kami bercuba tiket untuk musim panas sekarang juga! Kami sangat sangat sangat rindu Malaysia!

Terima kasih for subscribing. Harap balik Malaysia tak lama lagi. Mungkin musim panas. I mean, for sure next summer! It is a long flight, so we cannot come for hujung minggu or something like that. We are already planning out all our old favourites we want to visit!

Ah! Where in Malaysia??

@@kcheise Pahang. :)

Ha terima kasih. Saya atau isteri? Dia banyak lebih comel kemudian saya

Terima kasih kawan saya. Sangat rindu negeraku.

Thanks! I give all credit to Iris, my wife. She is the true star!

Terima kasih. Saya harap boleh bercakap lebih banyan. I have lost some of it living here. No one speaks it! Tapi pelajar saya suka dengar bahasa. Semalam saya ajar mereka “senyap”. They liked that!

@@kcheise If you haven't already done a video on this, I'm sure a lot of people would like to know how you got to this level of fluency. Looking forward to it! 😃😃

Typo LOVE U

@@mohdroslyothman1219 Thank you my friend for you comment! We miss Malaysia setiap hari

Thank you. Tapi kami tinggal di KL untuk 5 tahun jadi BM kami tak bagus when you consider how long we lived there! Everyone was too nice and kept bercakap dengan kami di English!

Terima kasih kawan saya

Setiap makanan melayu sedapnya. Rindu ia. Dan rindu negaraku.

Aaah! My wife and I were just talking about this place yesterday. This is next on our list to try. It is only like two hours from us, and we have friends that live nearby who would we want to visit anyway. Was it good??

So...if I am being honest, I would put it in the top 3 foods. Obviously I love it the most because I lived there...but Thai is pretty good too. But you are correct. I think Malaysian food has the best diversity. Chinese, Malay, Indian, and more!

Tq my friend. Cinta dari USA padi Malaysia!

Terima kasih kawan saya!

Terima kasih!

Ha yeah. Although the place was tak sesak

Thank you for subscribing! The opening was the first thing we though of for the video, like before we even went to Texas!

Good enough…for now. There are a couple places in Washington DC, only a few hours from here, that we still need to try

I visited Pappa Rich in Hong Kong and it is a high end eateries, and I was like 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and say no thank you

@@chiewata Malaysian food outside seems to be like a high class foods and I’m surprised! It’s like the price when we ordered them in some 5 stars hotel in Malaysia…a char kuey teaw can goes up nearly RM40 while on the street we can get it for RM5 🤣

@@adibyasin5495 I once ate a bowl of curry noodle near Victoria Market in Melbourne that cost me almost RM40, but at that moment I find it worth becos that's the closest thing I can get to heal my Malaysian soul, I am homesick 🤣🤣

Ha your comment made my wife and I laugh. Everyone is way too nice usually about our Malay but we always think it is terrible and we need to learn more! Orang Malay sangat sopan. We lived in Malaysia for five years so really our Malay is nothing to be proud of. We would be comfortable ordering at a restaurant or having a conversation if people bercakap perlahan lahan . We came back to the states musim panas 2020. Rindu negera angkat kita. For many reasons

@@kcheise Omg😲you can also write in malay👍yup malay people are more polite when speaking..I know because my mom is from Penang Malaysia and I’m mix of malaysian/portuguese (eurasian)

@@audreyDsouza Ah very nice. I have always been better at writing than speaking. Listening is my big problem.

@@kcheise yup it's hard because most of them speak fast with different slangs..most of them will change slangs spontaneously if we don't understand much, to make it easier for us to communicate they will use sentences that we can easily understand😁

@@audreyDsouza right on the nose 😆😆😆..as a malay myself..we tend to mimic the kind of langguage the other party was using..we use chinese slang malaysian version to talk to malaysia chinese..we use indian slang malaysian version to talk to malaysian indian..etc..etc..etc..so to make the other party comfortable when we were having a conversation with them..that's how we are since long ago 😁

Ha If Malaysia wants to adopt us and make us the official American Eaters of the country...yes! I would take that in a second!

terima kasih kawan saya. Cinta cekap BM. Di Richmond, tak orang boleh faham kami jika guna BM. It's like our own secret language!

You guys..come to Malaysia..let me hug you two...teddy 🐻

Okay, so there are lots of reasons to visit San Francisco but I would seriously consider coming just for these restaurants!

Ha tak pandai. Mungkin sikit. Isteri dan saya tinggal di Malaysia untuk lima tahun. Bahasa melayu kami tak baik sekarang. Tak orang malay ke bercakap dengan

Ha thats Awesome! And totally something i want to do now!

Love lemang! I made it once for here in America. The big problem here is finding bamboo. Any bamboo I buy in a store is for decoration, and has chemicals in it. I made it wrapped in banana leaf only. It was okay. Better than no lemang, but not as good as you can find in KL on the side of the road during eid!

@@kcheise wow you have made it too.. that’s cool..

Love pasar ramadan...or pasar malam...or any pasar! We were excited to go one last time before we left, but covid ruined that!

Soon...well, tahun depan, but that feels so so close. We have already started looking at flights. We both miss Malaysia so so much!

Terima kasih kawan saya. Kami harap dapat kembali musim panas. Mahu lawat KL dan jumpa kawan dan makan!

Ha, yes....yes we do!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Musim panas depan. Melawat. Dua bulan saya harap. So much food I want to eat in that two months! Honestly I miss it so much. I have to check the weather everyday here. In Malaysia every day the same!

@@kcheise Malaysia also have 4 seasons 😁

@@xchaix Ha I was told that there is musim panas, musim hujan, and musim durian.

@@kcheise no no no 😁 hot, very hot, wet, very wet 🤣

@@kcheise Musim panas Musim hujan Musim jerebu Musim denggi

Ha yeah. That sounds about right. It is not easy to find. Which stinks, because I think Americans would love it!

oh KL! I miss it! There is no traffic or Haze here. I do not miss the Haze...ha or the traffic! But still, I miss it!

@@kcheise 😂there is no more haze over here but the heat really at its peak, but of cos coupled with raining in the evenin. 😅 . When is yr next trip to KL?😎

@@TaRunaX musim panas depan saya harap. We are both teachers, so we have the summers in America off. Basically June and July. So we are hoping to come to Malaysia for those two months.

@@kcheise hi , you are most welcome to neverending summer -but humid and now mostly rainy and sunny. Well sometimes it is just unpredictable, thats Malaysia.

Ha yeah I miss Malaysian food a lot. A huge amount, but I would not fly across the country for it. We are only two hours south of Washington DC. If I am feeling truly desperate, there are a few places there to get Malaysian food

Salam dari Richmond!

I hope they love Malaysia as much as we did and still do. We miss it a lot. We lived there for 5 years, so it did feel like it was time to come back to America. We have a general plan to visit at least every two years...maybe more. We are both teachers and in America that means we have June, July, and some of August off from work. We are already planning to return next summer!

Berjaya Malaysia! That is the whole reason I got it. And obviously I HAD to wear it when we went to Pappa Rich!

Ha maybe. I think they are from the west coast. America is not like Malaysia, it is HUGE! If they are in California, that is like a 5 hour flight away, and like a 5 day drive away!

@@kcheise Now that you put it that way...it's easier to imagine the size of it. It's really huge. Thanks for sharing.

@@izounokuda5461 Ya very huge. We always told our Malaysian friends this and they never believed me. It took us 6 hours (no traffic) to drive from KL to Georgetown. If I drive six hours in my home state, NY, I would still be in NY probably. My kampung is 8 hours from NYC. Right now I live in Virginia, and am only 7 hours from NYC. I used to live in New Hampshire. 9 hours from my kampung. But only 6 hours from NYC. Ha...my point is, USA is huge! AND most of it, the western part especially, is empty!

Agree about laksa! We have been to Kuching and had Sarawak Laksa. Love it! Of course we had some of it in KL too! So we have made nasi lemak, rendang, and lemak at home before. Roti canai I just cant do!

Making roti canai is a bit tricky. Here we have those frozen ones which is as good as the ones at mamak. I tried making canai too .. failed miserably. Am still tweaking it to make it work 🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼🙋‍♀️💕🧡

@@noyungletchannel4073 I can find paratha here, same kind I would see in Malaysia in the super market. But no roti canai, not yet

Tak lama lagi saya harap tapi mungkin musim panas depan

@@kcheise 😍

including the parking right in front of the restaurant! 😭😂

you are correct! Hunting for Malaysian food here is a bit harder than I would like, but still fun!!
