- FIRST NIGHT IN MALAYSIA Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is known for many reasons, however, the food scene in Kuala Lumpur is one of the best in the world! In the next videos here in Malaysia I'm going to try much of the local food, but in this video I went to the Jalan Alor food street and ate the first foods I found! Many more videos to come from Malaysia!

They all can speak English. Even the Indonesian woman that work there also can speak in English. Salute to Malaysian.
Malaysia is truly Asia.. diverse with melting pot of Asian, Eastern and Western cultures foods and cuisines..
Everything is here.. enjoy your stay here 👍🇲🇾😊
Exactly!
Three ringgits for one piece of jack fruit is over priced! I like the atmosphere of Jalan Alor, with great variety of foods. Thank you for sharing ❤ hope you enjoy the trip in Malaysia 🇲🇾
Loved the mixture of food cultures in Malaysia, spent a while in Johor Bahru, the food courts also in Batam Indonesia were unreal. Fantastic videos, I'm heading for Cebu and Samar in 2024 and can't wait to sample some Filipino food
That mixture of food culture is incredible here in Kuala Lumpur! Local, Indian, Thai, etc… When you’re in Cebu city go to Sugbo market at night for the best food!
@@TravelEscapesDetourm
@@TravelEscapesDetour I'll be staying in lapu Lapu-Lapu but from what I can see it's only a short ride there, saw your video on it, and the epic search for beer 🤣 March can't come quick enough.
@@mduckod992you should come this 3rd week of January, our biggest celebration in Cebu City. which is the Sinulog Festival. 😊
Johnny Sins invades Malaysia 😆 Loved the first episode, keen to see more travels around the world!
🤣 that will be a separate channel haha… your matcha scene in your Japan video might make me go get some matcha right now. Looking forward to your Malaysia series as well!
Hi Jonathan, glad to see this second channel. Just subscribed to this channel as well. The Jack fruit sounds amazing. Glad to know what it tastes like.
Hey Ben!! Thanks for joining over here as well! I don't think they have Starburst over here, but American viewers should know that comparison haha
Anthony Bourdine's favourite was Laksa Sarawak (east Malaysia). You also can find it at Kampong Baru. It is possible to get it in Melaka as well along the river.
He’s the reason I went to Georgetown looking for Laksa! I found it!
@@TravelEscapesDetour Not sure if you've found his favourite laksa. He had his favourite laksa in Sarawak and that laksa is called Laksa Sarawak. Sarawak is on the other side of Malaysia. In Borneo island. Although it is possible to get Laksa Sarawak in certain parts of Malaysia but if you mention Georgetown, a Malaysian would think you have Laksa Penang since it is a Penang dish and it is completely different from Laksa Sarawak. There are many types of laksa in Malaysia so make sure you are spesific when mentioning laksa.
Laksa Sarawak, Laksa Penang, Laksa Kari, Laksam, Laksa Nyonya, Laksa Utara, Laksa Kelantan, Asam Laksa, Laksa Johor
Thanks, Jonathan and CONGRATS on the new channel! Can't wait to get to Southeast Asia this coming Spring, landing in PH and heading to Bali!
Thank you! Southeast Asia is best region in the world in my opinion!
Awesome, John! Looking forward to follow along :)
Thank you for following along!!
you are too pro for the first video in this channel... maybe it's too late, but I highly recommend you try local authentic food such as nasi lemak, laksa penang, nasi kandar, ramly burger, nasi kahwin, cendol, roti john etc... btw welcome to malaysia!
Oh I’ve been eating it! Laksa is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! Nasi lemak is realllly good too! And of course I are the Ramey burger and that will be in a future video! What did you mean I’m too pro? And thank you for the suggestions and for watching!
@@TravelEscapesDetourI think he meant you're too pro for this to be your 1st vlog not knowing this is your second channel
oooooo gotcha@@willg023
Dropping in before you hit 100k here too!! Great vid mate 👍🏾
Hahah.. thats a looooong way away
You will never escape the hospitality of the Philippines...they are everywhere...😀😜

Took me awhile to find your first channel but it quickly became my favorite for all things PH related! Glad to have discovered you, keep up the fantastic content!
oh nice!! thank you for saying that!! the link on this page didn't work to bring you there?
@TravelEscapesDetour what I meant was, after searching for travel vloggers in Asia, I found your first channel. It took me a week or so of watching filipina pea and a couple others before I found your channel recommended, but once I did, it became my favorite!
Music wasnt bad at all... can hear you with no issues! And that food looks amazing!
Ook great! Thanks for the feedback!
No 7 suportado sa vlog mo pare 👋
Thanks so much!
Watxhing now, enjoy your travels and stay safe Jonathan 👍✈️

Hi Jonathan, so happy I find your another acct ❤️
HI Maria! Thank you for coming over here to find me!
Great video, smart to start an eating channel as another income stream. 👍

Oh I’ve already rented my apartment for next month in the Philippines haha.. this is just a trip. Thank you for watching!!
I was subscriber #436! 🤘😁🎸
hahah nice! Thank you for the support!!
Jalan Alor, tourist pice!
Haha yeah it seems so from the comments
Incredible place. I have never seen a market like that. The food looked very good and was inexpensive.
Johnathan, you ran out of hands to eat and film, you see that's were Anne comes in ..🤣🤣🤣
😂 she didn’t join me in Malaysia. That would have helped though! Haha
That's good Jonathan. Don't just stay here in the Phils. Yourchannel will grow more if you go around the world.
Philippines is home base for sure.. but I love traveling and seeing new places! Always have!
what a coinsidence! while watching this video,im also craving a ripe jackfruit..ohhb wow..mouthwatering hmmm
I loved that jackfruit!!
Just subscribed to your second channel bro...
Awesome! Thank you for the support!
God bless Anthony Bourdain's soul. I simply love his humility, adventurous palate and dark sense of humour! Yeah, missing him. Hey, you could be the next Tony Bourdain! Good job!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😉😉😉
I completely agree! He's very descriptive and articulate. I'm reading "a cook's tour" by him now and love his style of writing. He always spoke his mind with no filter. He's a legend! And thank you for watching!
You should watch the late Anthony Bourdain's vlog in Borneo,visited the IBAN 's longhouse n enjoyed our Sarawak Laksa ( Breakfast of the God's)....
@@margaretekalaiabdullah8745
Already watched it, I forgot how many times! 😉😉😉
Welcome to KL, Malaysia.
Thank you!
@@TravelEscapesDetour 😄
This help me a lot
I'm glad! Thank you for watching!
Hello Jonathan. I love the content. I began watching your videos with your first day in Manila, PH and binge watched everything after that. I have a request/question. I am a recently retired 53yo who has never had an opportunity to travel, but now would like to start. This may sound stupid, but I have no idea how to get started. I was wondering if you might be able to put a video series together that explains how to make your first trip abroad safely and well prepared? Thank you and thank you for the wonderful content... Subscribed.
Hi Mike! Thank you for following along this whole time! I’m not sure if I could do a full video on that topic, but feel free to ask if you have any specific questions!
Takoyaki here in Philippines is only less than a dollar for 4pcs. 🥰 Some Bahasa words are the same with tagalog words like gunting(scissors), mata (eye), buka (open) etc. 🥰
Done ! keep safe always!
thank you!! I will!
Done forget to come to explore Penang.., food heaven
JALAN ALOR STREET MALAYSIA KUALA LUMPUR JACK FRUIT DELICIOUS FOOD.CoConut Milk
I loved that Jack fruit!
Hi Jonathan, make sure you announce this new and second channel of yours. Because I didn’t know until you replied to my comment a few hours ago. I’m the 4th subscriber here. And as always, another great video! So exciting to follow your travel journey. See ya in the next video! 👍🏼 And good night. It’s almost 1am here in Chicago.
Hey thank you for watching!! Haha, yes, this was an experiment to see if a new channel with no subscribers could get views without any promotion. I think the answer is no 😂 I’ll promote it on my other channel soon!
sweet jackfruit❤
Same here in the Phil.masarap
I can't believe I've never eaten it fresh like that! It would be a perfect dessert! @@esperanzaabada8560
yeah! It's the same word for delicious in Malay! @@esperanzaabada8560
Hey Dude! Came across your video, come to Singapore and I show you around! Thank you. :)
I’ve been there once before but I’d like to go back and make some videos there!
The food wow
Yeahhh!
Welcome to Jalan Alor.. Where tourists get ripped off. 😅
😂
Once awhile is OK. Not everyday
You are brilliant. Use Bahol as home base. There are a thousand places in Asia that I love. The food everywhere is super, homemade and fresh.
You are right, Thai food is very top, less good as you travel Westward. But even India has some great cusine (Acquired tastes) thanks for the expansion... Love the decision
Yeah I’m still based in the Philippines! But I’m definitely a traveler, so I always like visiting new places. And I’ve grown to love Indian food in the past few days in Malaysia. The Indian food here is incredible! Thanks for watching!!
@@TravelEscapesDetour There is a great food culture in Malaysia, Penang, Port Dickson and many other towns and Islands are great. There is a small Chinese village on stilts, raising fish in the SW not a long drive from Singapore. Yummy fresh fish and Authentic Chinese cuisene, better than China. I bought stingray skins for tanning there and in Bangladesh, good eating too. Skip the Jelly fish though.
It is nice to drive to singapore exploring the places. You would like a hidden gem for banking and business on Labuan, Federal Territory, Victoria... It is a kind of paradise for companies and Banking, a quiet "Singapore" but better. I almost took my old company there from the US 30 years back. Still had huge possibilities but never a giant. Good fishing etc.
I started watching your chhannel when you first arrived in Manila and love it. You are so good at it. Had an office in Cebu, B'kok, Denpasar, Kaohsiung and Bhavnagar, and Mumbai, I miss the friends and close business ties very much. Great people everwhere. Thanks for all you do, David C.🌴😏⚓Palm Beach Gardens
Hi jonathan welcome to malaysia from 🇵🇭 enjoy
Thank you!!
Gahaha
hi Jonathan
i been there in Malaysia before at kotakinabalu... try Mi goreng basa..
hi! Mi Goreng basa, ok! it's on the list thank you!
Jalan Jalan 😄
Haha, Jalan means street, right?
@@TravelEscapesDetouryes, jalan mean street. But jalan jalan means go for a walk.
@@TravelEscapesDetour Correct 👍🫶
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!!
Bro go to pampanga here in luzon try thier famous sisig chef anthony also went there and cebu he also tried lechon cebu
Night market is available all over msia. Jalan alor night market is the most famous among TOURIST. Also they open every night. While other night market opens only once per week. The day they operate depends on each location. For example, the other night market famous among locals are at jalan tunku abdul rahman or jalan tar. It opens every saturday. Another famous one, the longest night market 2km long is at taman connaught. Opens every Wednesday. Hope you can review these markets too, as they're not as famous as jalan alor 😊
That’s the ripe jackfruit Mr Jonathan, the one you cooked with coconut milk was the younger jackfruit
oook gotcha, I loved it this way! Super sweet!
Hi Jonathan, kumusta? How's KL? Jackfruit is my favorite fruit of all. Enjoy, ayo-ayo, amping 💕
KL was awesome! I love jackfruit now as well! Thank you for watching!
Perfect timing, im in KL in 4 weeks 😅
Oh nice! The food is insanely good!
Waiting to see how their hospitality compares.
I haven’t been invited into anyone’s home yet 😂
Hi Jonathan, the fish in the Takoyaki are Bonito flakes 😊
Oooo I didn’t know the name! Thank you!
Anthony bourdain ate laksa sarawak in borneo and named in bfast for the kings.. u should try bro
I’ve eaten it a few times now in Malaysia because of him!
I tell others that ripe jackfruit reminds me of pink bubble gum. think bazooka joe or maybe the tape bubble gum. You can eat the jackfruit seeds too. They kinda remind me of eating chestnuts. BTW, i'm from fort walton beach. i'm guessing you're birmingham.
You need to visit the local pasar malam to get the best malaysian food experience. The prices are not touristy and you ll get value for your bucks.
There's a lot of good food in Malaysia. Should go to Melaka state lots of good food
jackfruit is big and tiny spike unlike dorian ismidium size with big spike ,what did you ate is ripe jackfruit and young jackfuit is the one you ate in bohol with coconut milk
The fruits name Rambutan and Durian come from Malay/ Indonesian language. Rambutan come from the word Rambut literally means Hair. So for Durian come from the word Duri which literally means Torn.
oh wow I didn't know that! I love learning things like that, Thank you!
Same as Orangutan. Orang means people and utan(hutan) means jungle.
Boundary of Malaysia is Brunei .. I work there before ..then sometimes we exit malaysia boundary wherevwe can buy alcohol but only 3bottles of wine u can but bck to brunei bcoz not allowed in country of Brunei to buy much alcohol..good if u visit also coz just boundary by land travel only..
Delicious in malay is "Nyaman"....
ooo interesting! thanks for the info and for watching!!
Nyaman is Sarawakian Malay, standard Malay is Sedap.
I remember when i worked and lived in Japan for years to work, when im in Manila i would speak in Japanese lol.
Im in❤
Thanks for following along!
There are another fruit looks similar to jackfruit...called cempedak....but normally we don't eat it raw like jackfruit.....we will deep-fried it like deep fried banana....
I’ll be on the lookout for that one as well!
Salamat! 😆😂
So the main channel is gonna be strictly Phillipines. And this one all other travel?
Philippines videos will go on the main channel and maybe some other countries as well. I’ll see how it goes!
For ur dinner, as a local...
1. The beer is expensive in Msia
2. The main food is heavy portion.
I would want to pay 30 % less.
yeah this seems to be the area where tourists go, so prices of course reflect that. I went a few blocks down the street the following days and prices were very affordable!
Salamat in Malaysia means Safe
Jalan Alor is full of tourists, its a tourist trap
Try other local markets or food truck place
I reckon if had that same food & beer in Taman Connaught market, it will probably cost you rm30 instead of rm52
Rambutan is Malay for hairy (hairy fruit) not a Thai word
Do go to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman night market
Thank you for the tip!
@@TravelEscapesDetour you're welcome
OMG - Filipinos are just friendly by nature-Lol
Hahaha yep! My next video (on my Main channel) will be going to the Filipino mall in Malaysia where I meet plenty more Filipinos
sedap = delicious. Sirap = syrup
ooo thank you!
Saying Terima Kasih to non-malay locals kinda make u so touristy.
I would think going to other countries only speaking my own language would be a touristy thing to do also.
Show the blue clear waters please❤🎉❤
I haven't decided if I'll go to the islands where Ken Abroad went or not, we'll see! They looks super nice!
@@TravelEscapesDetour I wish I could be there.
Kl is far away from east coast islands and borneo islands. That is why they are not crowded. These are some east coast islands:
1.perhentian islands
2. Rawa island
3. Kapas island
4. Redang island
5. Lang tengah island
6. Tioman island
7. Tenggol island
Ken abroad only touched perhentian islands.
I saw 62 subscriber prolly I'll be #63....I return to this comment when this channel come big. And hopefully, you'll stay the same guy(Jonathan) from "#TRAVEL ESCAPE"❤❤❤
You are the 63rd! Thank you for the support early on! The other channel is still the main focus, but I’ll post on here as well!
@@TravelEscapesDetour don't worry I'll watch both, and also my mother was from Bohol, I live there ig, for 5 years but that was when I was in Grade 2-3🤭 still a kid, then we transfer to the city up to now and never been to the places you been, felt a bit envious🤗. But, hopefully, one day I'll be able to visit Bohol again, I love to swim too....and ig, I need to have a license so I can travel around like you do😬✌️
Anyway, Enjoy your stay #Jonathan, take care man✨🙏
thanks so much for the support! Yeah! You definitely should visit Bohol again but definitely want to be able to drive a motorbike to explore the island!@@FrayMiigwetch13_4
✌️😁🇲🇾♥️🇺🇲🇨🇦
Thank you for watching!
@@TravelEscapesDetour you welcome sir✌️😁
looks like a lot of locals too? or SEA tourists?
Yeah, from everywhere really! I’ve met so many locals from other countries.
Solo Travellers' problem: extra food, left over food
😂
Haha yep! That’s more than enough for me
Salamat oh not salamat 😂😂😂
😂 it’s a hard habit to break!
Street food in Malaysia? Filipinos are everywhere 😂
Everywhere! I got recognized by Filipinos in Korea and Japan 😂
That piece of jackfruit costs RM3? That's cuthroat. I can get 6 pieces for RM2.
I guess it’s Just the location
Her worker using bare hands while she puts plastic gloves on for you😂😂😂😂
🤣
So, you go to Malaysia to eat...Filipino food. Did you win a free trip there?
I definitely ate a lot of local food! I ate Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Indian food, Thai food, Chinese food, again more local food... Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines.. These other countries bring their authentic food with them, so you can get some of the best food from all over Asia all in one place!
@@TravelEscapesDetour Roger that, you have a good one.
Very touristy prices ! ...locals don't go to Jalan Alor ...coz it's dominated by non locals.... none of the vendors are Malaysian...besides fruits , none of the food sold are Malaysian food. Jalan Alor is meant for tourist to sample the other ASEAN countries fare.
I won't say none. Chinese food is malaysian food as well. Thai food is malaysian food too. We hv thai malaysian here. If you are referring malay food, well less compared to kampung baru.
Cocunut milk
Bloody expensive meal
@TravelEscapesDetour
Tako-Octopus
Yaki-Grilled
takoyaki-octopus grilled
oooh thank you for the explanation!
Ooh any time dong
Why so many tourists so hype to go this Jalan Alor...lol you got ripped off no joke...RM3 for 1 pc of jackfruit, RM15 Mango Sticky Rice... that ridiculous! Go to Kampung Baru, Jalan Tar, or Pantai Dalam...more "local price"
Ooo thank you for the recommendations!!
1 piece of jackfruit is rm3? jalan alor is so expensive and overrated.
