- We have been travelling (and working) in Malaysia for over 5 months now so we thought we would share a few travel tips from our time here.
If Malaysia has never been on your bucket list before, make sure to visit Malaysia in the very near future. A fantastic country with endless adventure just waiting for you! Did we also mention Malaysian food yet.... :P

Travelled in Malaysia? What advice would YOU give for someone travelling here?
Beer For Breakfast prepare yourself for hot & humid weather 😆
Be ready to be fatttt !!!
just eat..
that you will never get used to haha
Fooddd everywhere
Food heaven
I think one of the important tip to share for the tourists, especially tourists from the US, Canada and UK or EU countries, they should always bring their own tissue or toilet paper.. Malaysia did not commonly use a toilet paper but rather we just use water hose to clean afterwards. But, there is also public toilet that provide it and you can buy it before entering the toilet, It'll cost you like range from RM 0.20- RM 2.00 depends on the location. Yeah, I think that's just one tip from me.. I'm sure my fellow Malaysian are gonna share another useful tips for tourists and foreigners. Enjoy your time in Malaysia. 😁👍
I found this also quite common in Thailand!
We are currently in KL!! We absolutely love it here! Wish we could stay for as long as you guys have been here!
The Everlasting Adventure be safe.. pls keep ur personal belongings safe too..Welcome to Malaysia! Enjoy!
Thank you!!
Hey guys - this video was great, informative and engaging. You have really sold Malaysia to us, showcased it through your videos so well. Looking forward to seeing you guys in Borneo...
Thanks so much guys!
As a fellow malaysian, this are my tips:
1. Bring your own toilet paper everywhere for the toilet. Wet wipes is also convenient.
2. Use sling bag if you are going to crowded places, like morning or night markets.
3. For women travellars, avoid using Grab late at night. Travel from 8pm to 10pm is safer.
4. Malaysian food is sometimes too spicy and hot for foreigners, drink lots of water.
5. You must try Roti Telur and Teh Tarik for breakfast.
6. Most Malaysian can speak basic english. Even the food hawkers.
7. Avoid using the public transportation during the peak hours - Malaysian office hours is from 8 am to 5 pm. Avoid using any LRT, MRT, bus around 7am to 9am and 4.30 pm to 7pm. The heavy traffic is insane especially in the big cities, like KL, Penang, Johore Bahru and Kuching.
Great tips!!
The best thing I can think of is... Having both of you here in Malaysia , watching your lovely videos and your beautiful smiles. Thank you for sharing the positive side of Malaysia. I'm glad you girls having good time here and very happy for you. Cheers!! 😍🙏🏼
Awwwwww our hearts are melting. Thanks for your comment. Really happy that you enjoy watching our videos
My advice to other travellers is watch your wonderful youtube channel.
awwwwwwwwww we are totally blushing. thanks for your comment
A massive gday from Australia. I've been lurking in the background and eagerly watching all your travels around Asia. I'm visiting Malaysia next week and will be filming my foodie adventures as I follow in your footsteps! Keep up your incredible content!
Ooooo how exciting. Please let us know when we have the videos to share. We would love to see what food adventures you get into. Happy eating 😬
I cannot wait to leave Australia for Malaysia. My stomach is already grumbling with excitement!
This was great! I really want to visit Malaysia some day! :)
Arbitrary Exploration dm me for transportation..i will give best price with your budget😊😊😊
Great video for travel guides & tips!!
Make friends with a local and see if they are willing to take you around their hidden spots especially for yummy 'locals-favourite' food. No TripAdvisor will be able to show you these hidden gems. Have fun in Borneo girls. If you're visiting Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, please visit Mari-Mari Cultural Village and the Sabah State Museum to learn more about the diverse culture in Sabah. I can't wait for Borneo vlogs. Stay safe. 💜
Patricia Peter yep!!!agreed on you!!!
Great idea 🇲🇾🇲🇾🌎👏
Thank you for your great travel vlog in malaysia,, cant wait for the next vlog,, love u guys so much😘😘😘
Thamk you 4 the series. Whether you're moving from one state to another, crossing into Thailand, or staying in one place like this one, your insights are incredible 👏
I'll be starting my digital nomad journey in Malaysia in August, so I've been absolutely LOVING all the Malaysia content!! Getting me soooo excited!
Hey there! Thank you so much for your comment, you gonna love Malaysia! It’s so easy to travel around and the internet is usually pretty good wherever you go 👍 we just checked out your channel, so cute ! Congratulations on starting your CZcams channel! We’ll check out some of your videos 💙
Great vid. Missing malaysia so much...will be back to malaysia next year, in sha allah...
Can't wait to watch you guys on your next journey trying new malaysia cuisine!!! have funnn...
Thank you soooo much !!! 😍
I enjoyed your video. and now look into all of your videos. great job girls.
i love you guys im always checking on your videos. Thanks for the contents im a proud malaysian
Thank you for showcasing our country. I like all your Raya experiences the most especially the bazaar and the open house bit. Cameron Highland also an eye opener of some places that I have yet visited. Most importantly you guys safely back home.
Tips for others, please use public transport and grabs, car hopping with strangers need to be selective. Prepare to give up your diets and try our food as much as you can such as Nasi Lemak at Village Park in PJ, Rendang (anywhere you go) and Nasi Kandar at Pelita near KLCC or up north in Penang which is famous for. Have fun!
Superb guide. A tip on getting cash in Malaysia - Some ATMs charge no fees and some are higher fees - I used the the ATM Fee Saver mobile app - it gave a list of the fee free and low fee ATMs in Malaysia. Also showed the withdrawal limits of the ATMs there for foreign card holders. Was very handy to save up on unnecessary expenses. Worth adding to your list!
Very good and useful information, girls.
Nice tips! 😄😄😄
Nice channel ! We subscribe ! 😄
My advice when you travelling all around Malaysia is to try the state special food.
Each state has their own special dish. One example is Laksa. Laksa Penang, Laksa Johor and Laksa Sarawak. All different.
Try to engage the local and asked them about the signature food in that state. You will have the time of your life.
Wuuuu....cheers to freedom...
Nice ...thanks for been here...
Malaysian people loves both of u....
I'm super jealous you're going to Borneo. Can't wait to see the videos.
glad i found your channel becos i stay in malaysia too, but suddenly its becos this is not my country and my husband chinese busy to his work. we dont have time to explore diffrent place of malaysia. but now that i found your channel i will use this as my guide travel. thank u so much

What a helpful video! Thank you! Would you mind also giving tips on what to wear while traveling through Malaysia, especially if one hopes to see all parts of the country? Thank you!
Wow, I'm early 😄
cannot wait for next vlog.
In a few days. Next video will be about Johor 🤗
when is it? lol
You guys are awesome! You're doing such a great job promoting Malaysia and I'm glad that you like it here. Malaysia is such a great place but not many people realize it and you have experienced Malaysia in a way that's more than most of the local people.
You have made me feel very proud of our food and friendly people lol.
I have never been to Borneo before, but I have heard great stories about their people and culture and I definitely will follow closely with your videos as a reference in future trip!
P.S.: Not sure about youtube's policy, but will it be better if you split your videos to few parts at less than 10 minutes each so that most people can finish the whole video and maybe in any way could benefit your earning more?(Just my humble thought)
Hey friend ! Thanks for such a kind comment, we are just truly in love with Malaysia and the people out here .. such an ‘easy’ country to be travelling around, most importantly, very safe and no one has ever been rude to us here 🙏🏼
love you guys
Yeah finally to johor bahru... you will experience the total different taste food from the north or east Malaysia which you have experience...southern food is the best and heavenly tasty...here some food you should try while in JB...murtabak singapore ( kampung kurnia ), laksa Johor, mee rebus ( restaurant sup tulang ZZ ), kacang pool( balai bomba larkin ), asam pedas ( abit different from melaka ), biryani gam ( its a must ), soto,lontong, nasi ambeng, otak-otak, ice kacang, go to medan selera tepian tebrau for ikan bakar, sotong kangkong, cakoi bakar.....i guess its too much for both of you to try in a short period of stay hahhahaha but still there plenty of food and trust me you wont regret and might be craving more for southern taste....anyway enjoy and cant wait for your next vlog...cheer guys 😊😊😊
Woww...very accurate comments and information of Malaysia as good as local commentators. Congrats girls
That makes us feel very happy
hello friends how are you today?
I suggest you to sabah. Sipadan island, kapalai island, kota kinabalu (kk) market philipines, roch reff island, mabul island,Mount kinabalu, sandakan and tawau.
Thanks 4 promoted our country Malaysia to ur viewers.. 😘
It has been our absolute pleasure
Hey. I’m from malacca. Can’t stop smiling while watching yr video.
Awww that’s lovely
Great tips for travellers!
Agree with someone suggestion that if can find locals to be your tourist guide but must be careful too.
Mostly foods here is delicious whether it's Malay, Chinese or Indian.
Only one food both of you & me that's cannot be accepted is stinky tofu!
Thanks for your great tips vlog 👍😘.
Stinky tofu!!! Oh no haha 🤣
If you purchase Touch and Go card you can use it for all Malaysian trains, public city buses, road tolls, parking and even some restaurants and theme parks too. You can always top up anywhere. Since the card is usable for almost anything you can cut ticket queue and finding smaller changes
love u guys
Malaysia Hospitality the best!
Enjoy the rest of your stay in Malaysia. Really missing home though. There is another tip that a lot of foreigners/tourists do not know, it is that most Malaysians are proficient in English. It is a huge advantage for them to make navigating around Malaysia easier. Although when it comes to rural areas, it can be difficult, but still. English is ultra-common here.
GRAB service is great . Good both of you choose it .
Keep it up and have a safe journey to Johor.
Thanks ‘ ☺️
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽...I think you’ve given better tips than I could have (as a malaysian 😅)
Bless your heart 😘
Can't wait to watch your vlog in Borneo...!!! I just love Kota Kinabalu. Will you climb Mount Kinabalu...??? Hehe... In the mean time, enjoy JB. They also have great foods. Laksa johor, nasi briyani, juat to name a few... 😉🙂😄
We cannnot wait to explore it all ! 😍
I will be in Johor this weekend. Hope to meet you.
yeay..finally borneo
Have a adventurous day in Borneo.... i hope you will take every chances to explore the truest nature there.... refreshes you mind with all green forest and beautiful island.......and the seafood is veeeryy cheap there....
Thank you darling!! We cannot wait !! Eeekkkk!!! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
awesome
love your content! Any insights on how to stay in Malaysia long term ? As a canadian, 90 days is given, but I'm trying to explore more ways to extend my stay without applying for the MM2H pass which is quite heavy on the pocket! Thanks, and please continue making these great videos!
Appreciate your comment, Dr Who! I am sure it's quite possible to stay in Malaysia long term, we haven't done any research on that tho. We would always do a little border run and always come back for another 3 months haha
Welcome to Kuching!!! (In advance) 😬😬 You girls gonna love RWMF.
thanks darling :)
Absolutely Malaysia is a food heaven for all.Goin to Johor?that's also a very well known of the largest state in Malaysia.Lot of food and culture to explore like,soto,kuah lodeh,nasi beriyani gam,kacang pool,nice ikan bakar spot at tip top restaurant,ikan siakap goreng kg pasir puteh,and many more...good luck guys.happy travelling.
Thanks for all of that info, never been there before so looking forward to the food scene
The largest is Sarawak and followed by Sabah...Johor is maybe the largest for peninsular of Malaysia..
Mohd.Firdauze Azahari sorry..one of the largest..missing one words there😁. The largest in peninsular is Pahang.

That's the toughest question everyday for us Malaysian...
Don't worry🎙️ ..🎼🎼 be happy🎙️🎼🎼🎼. Happy nice trip to Johor and Borneo..in Sabah don't forget to explore cheaper seafood ..🦐🦀🦑🐟
Since you're going to Borneo(Sarawak) here are some food(Local delicacies) recommendation from me:
Food:
-Laksa Sarawak(usually Mom's Laksa or Choon Hui. Others also can but these are the best)
-Topspot Seafood. Stall No.25 (order local delicacies Midin, salted crab, butter prawn)
-Mee Kolok(ask local ppl where the best they know for sure)
-Nasi Goreng Ikan Terubok
-Linut
-Chicken Bamboo
-Siniawan Night market at Bau
Travel around:
-Bako National park, Talang-Satang national park, Sarawak Cultural Village(a must if wanted to know each ethnic of sarawak tribe), Wind cave and Fairy cave at Bau.
Yeah.enjoy some random bar at Kuching. The vibe at west aren't same with Borneo.
Cheers :)
Thank you so much for so many great recommendations!!! 🤩
Welcome to sabah. Hope to run to you guys here
Ur both should try this menu in Johor.. Mee Bandung, Nasi Ambeng, Kacang Pool, Mee Rebus, & Laksa Johor
Enjoy!
My best advice is spot and ask the local people about everything especially in tourist spot places.
If you in Johor don't forget to visit the "end of asia continental land". The same in Sabah, you can visit "the tips of Borneo".
If you a food hunter you must visit Muar for the asam pedas and mee bandung. Batu pahat known for nasi bryani gam and laksa johor.
i'm waiting you guys in jb...
im glad you guys love malaysia just like i do hehehe 🇲🇾❤️💙☹️
hi..i absolutely love your videos.. i’ve only watched a few, and i noticed u guys never mentioned rivers or waterfalls or hot springs..if u guys never been to one here, u really need to check it out..especially natural hot spring 😉
travel tips level: expert
hahaha thanks. We still have so much info to share. Maybe we will film a part 2 after our time in Borneo
In johor, Have Indian food in Kerala Restaurant.. Have Mee Rebus And Soto in Zainal's Place restaurant. Have Roti Canai / Roti telur at Roti Canai Bukit Chagar. Have roasted duck rice at Ya Wang in town and then buy kuih and desserts from hiap joo bakery nearby.
Also, if u see a truck late at night that is brightly lit , laden with various raw ingredients , surrounded by tables and speakers blaring techno music, u should stop in and try LOKLOK. Basically they have various uncooked food on trays in the truck and u just walk around and choose your ingredients. Once ur done, u hand ur ingredients to the owner and ask him to cook it the best way for each ingredient (I usually ask them to deep fry everything but u can boil some stuff or steam them too) and ask them to put the chilli powder on it as soon as it comes out of the fryer.. Then grab a table (or share a table) and chow down! They also have different dipping sauces and sambals to add to the flavour.
Please add Sate Wak radol at Kempas along with Otak2, Kacang Pol at Larkin Fire Station and Rojak Asma at Angsana Mall, Bandar Baru Uda :)
there are some of best crocodile farm in Sarawak, pls keep one on the list & stay safe yea ladies cheers 😊
best tips as a malaysian is bring me next time when u in KL :)
❤️❤️❤️
I would highly recommend Sabah! You can check out the orangutans and proboscis monkeys there, or go to Desa cattle farm in Kundasang if you want to feel like you’re in New Zealand ❤️
Please try kacang pool haji while you are in johor bahru. In Muar, famous dish are asam pedas and mee bandung (some stall had special type where there is big prawn). Also, durian cendol. Besides, although you might had tried laksa before, but it differ for each states. So please try laksa johor as well. I'm not sure in batu pahat there is still nasi beriyani gam or not but it was so famous before. Hope you can enjoy johor! Btw i'm a johorean 🙋
welcome to JB..
go to jalan tan hiok nee in johor, must try the banana cake! i love it. while in kuching, pls try mee kolok, laksa sarawak, kueh chap, belacan bihun, kek lapis, ice cream gula apong and lot more. for drinks u guys can try metahor and white lady. go to song kheng hai food court, then can walk around Jalan Padungan to buy some rice crackers too. can go to open air market for famous siew mai, 101 food court at night. i believe lot of kuching people will tell u guys more nice place to hunt for food.
go to sabah & sarawak next
Oh wow you're going to Johor?? My hometown! Be sure to try Mee Rebus! If you do have time please stop by Mee Rebus House in Johor Bahru (you can find the shop in FB), my sister manages the place and it specialises in Mee Rebus..other Johor specialties are Nasi Beriyani Gam, Kacang Pool, Rojak Asma, Asam Pedas & Mee Bandung. Johor itself is huge and different districts have their specialty, for example if you go to Batu Pahat they have this dish called Mee Racun (literally translated as poisoned noodles). I recommend visiting Salahudin Bakery , it's Johor oldest bakery (100 years & counting) and Hiap Joo Bakery (banana cake is a must buy)..both located in Jalan Tan Hiok Nee in the city centre.
Have fun exploring Johor!
Thank you soooo much for all these recommendations! 🤗👍
I hope you girls stay here longer and make more videos.At the same time, you are actually promoting our country.I also hope that some day you will be sponsored by some big companies or by the government of Malaysia for the excellent job that you have done.
Thanks so much. We hope so too ☺️
you guys should try chilli pan mee at kin kin restaurant.. i heard the food is amazing..
If you go to Kuching Sarawak, please go to Top Spot Seafood.you can find variety of delicious seafood and very cheap.u can try also mee kolok,laksa sarawak,nasi lalapan etc...enjoy your trip...
Thank you !!! 😍😍😍
If you going to Johor, go to pasar karat at JB Square, nite market is wide
My tip for foreigners visiting Malaysia- go to East Malaysia and never ever miss it! Bus trips here are super long 😂😂😂
And don't forget to shower twice a day at least. Oh if you go to Miri go to Pasar Malam Saberkas. It's newly renovated!
if you're going to Johor Bahru, don't forget to have bigggggg breakfast at "Medan Selera Plaza Larkin" it's near the Larkin Bus Station.. It's full of awesome food you should try out such as Mee Rebus Johor, Soto, Lontong, Kacang Pool(addictive!), Asma Rojak, Pisang Goreng, and sooo much more. At Kampung Kurnia, there's a Murtabak stall (Murtabak Majid Special Cheese No. 1) you should try out Murtabak Daging Special..It's super delish! layers of roti +minced meat, onion and eggs..the cheese version is also super nice.. At ZZ Restaurant, for breakfast you should try-out their Mee Rebus Tulang (Bone Narrow)
as dziaugiuosi, kad esate labai laimingas ir megaukites aplankydami mano nuostabia sali ... (sorry if it's not a correct way to wrote it) - I'm glad that you are very happy and entertained when visiting my wonderful country ... -
Hehehe so cute !!! Did you use google translator for that ? 😀
actually i ask one of my brother's staff she is from Poland, well i used to travel & staying with my brother over Europe so it's good to learn some of the words & their language too right..
Food advise. Go to Klang and try out the Bak Kut Teh. Both soup and dry type.
Hey! I enjoy watching your videos ! Wonder why didn’t you guys chose Bangkok, Thailand ? Being Malaysian myself & based here, I do believe it has got more to offer for travels.
wedding feast video? nice tips hope u can travel sabah and sarawak too
The wedding is off 😞
Glad both of u enjoyed. Terima Kasih. Sayang kamu haha
If you go to sarawak, you must try 'laksa sarawak' and 'mee kolok'
added to the list. thankyou
Beer For Breakfast 'Umai'. You must try 'umai' and the dabai fruit.
Beer For Breakfast dont forget try the ikan terubuk masin. Fermented fish from sarawak
im peninsular malaysian and i absolutely am missing laksa sarawak....i never see any laksa sarawak sold here
el mago there is a few shops sold laksa sarawak. If u are in kl, head to dayang sarawak corner located at sungai besi.
Hey babes, great content so far travelling all over Malaysia. When you do go over to Sabah & Sarawak, you have to stop by Kuching for the ever famous Sarawak Laksa (find the one Anthony Bourdain went to) and the special fern that only grows there. Total yums. And of course the wonderful beaches, caves, mountains, bamboo dancing and drinking. Sabahans can really drink (you drink from a large barrel with a long straw). Cheers to Freedom!
otaktakcenter The special fern is called sayur midin..
In Kucing do go to this place called Top Spot for fresh seafood, plenty of stalls available. Opens around 4 pm I think till 11 pm. It's more fun eating out at night. It's like a must visit place. Sayur Midin is available too.
My Irish friends use to buy Pil Chi Kit Teck Aun (diarrhea traditional remedies) due to spicy food intolerance :)
i think one of the most important thing to always be aware in malaysia is cultural sensitivity. malaysia is a hodgepodge of multiple races with different values and beliefs. predominantly malay muslims, malaysia is typically a conservative country which may be overlooked by the more open minded travellers.
Try to go to go to bukit ampang to watch KL view on top of the hill and enjoy night market there....
Instead of using bus to travel to other state, u may check the flight ticket because sometimes flight ticket is even cheaper than bus. Esp for Air Asia flight.. U can save money and time! I used to travel from KUL to my homestate, KBR and the lowest flight ticket i got is not more than RM10 for 2ways 💃
woooooaaaahhhh that is impressive. whenever we have looked for flights, we have found that they aren't that cheap. ALTHOUGH, we normally travel last minute, so it pays to be prepared haha
Beer For Breakfast after all, its about luck! Hahah... Btw, I'm glad u guys enjoyed staying here. U are more than welcome to stay here even longer.. 😘
Since you'll be coming to Borneo, assuming you''ll hit Kuching City first for the RWMF 2018, there are a few suggestion I really really really want you guys to do:
F&B:
1. Try Kolok Mee - the best I ever taste is Kolok Mee Haji Saleh, Satok area. A should visit spot.
2. Laksa Sarawak - My favourite is Mom's Laksa
3. Kek Lapis (literally Layered Cake) - there are few famous shops selling it, my favourite would be Mira Cake House opposite waterfront, in a place called Boyan.
4. Try seafood at Topspot - there are quite a number of stalls there, but my favourite is stall no 25, you both MUST taste the delicious Soft Shell Crab Telur Masin (telur masin is a salted egg) don't let the name doubt you, you'll never regret it. Trust me on this >.<
(ps: do note that all the above food are from my own preference, other opinion might differ ^^)
Place of interest:
1. Sarawak Cultural Village - experience all how the locals live from our various tribes, all in one place. As this will be the same location for RWMF, might as well visit this place during that time.
2. Semenggoh Wildlife Centre - I personally never been here but I always suggest visitors to visit this place. lol. So far the feedback are always good.
3. Bako National Park - will involve lots of hiking. PLEASE wear shoes. Picturesque views. You guys wouldn't regret it.
4. Semadang Kayaking & Rafting - You guys can click on the link for details. www.semadangkayak.com/ . Kayaking along a clear river in Borneo. What else can I say, ~_~.
5. Jong's crocodile farm - as the name implies. Sarawak's nickname is Bujang Senang, coming from the name of the biggest crocodile ever caught. Can google this place to know more.
6. Sarawak River Cruise - A boat cruise along Sarawak River, dinner will be provided on the boat, depending on which package you get. Drop points are located along the Sarawak River, most popular is Waterfront point.
7. Puncak Borneo - Another picturesque location in Kuching. Google the image. Ugh dem feels.
8. Visit museums (if you're into these kind of things) - we have Sarawak Museum, Islamic Museum, Chinese Museum, Cat Museum, one largest museum in Sarawak is currently under construction, unfrotunately.
9. Pasar Minggu Satok - Weekend market at Kubah Ria. Selling hundreds of local products. Should visit if you have the time.
10. Local favourite chill spots in Kuching - Kuching waterfront, bing (famous local coffee shop), lepak at vivacity or spring, taman sahabat (friendship garden), Satok uptown (Friday night and Saturday night)
11. Serikin - a bit far out from the city. about 40 minutes to 1 hour driving, located at the border between Malaysia and Indonesia. Famous location for super duper cheap items. Same items that sell for hundreds in the city, selling for only a fraction of its price. If you bring along your haggle skills, might get a lot more cheaper price. Be extra cautious here for your belonging though. Wear something simple as it is hot as hell here.
12. (reserved) I know there're gonna be some location I miss. So I'm gonna leave this point here. If other Kuchingites have better ideas/locations, just hit this post up.
(ps: all these locations are within Kuching city or just outskirt of Kuching City. There are other great locations outside Kuching that you should totally visit. Do let me know if you want to know more about them)
Cheers to freedom. ^___^y
hi. which route can you recommend for a two weeks trip? which island/beaches can you recommend, which are not that crowdy but still offers opporunities to have supermarkets, fruit stands, restaurants?
In Malaysia, always use ‘Grab’ or ‘MyCar’ apps for transportations. Taxis are really really expensive and I expect taxis will charge even more for tourists ! A tip from a local here 😁
Muar, Johor is my "kampung" you must go there and try Nasi Ambeng, laksa johor and Mee Bandung, those are the signature dish in Johor. and while you are in Johor Bahru.. well, it is like KL 2.0 😆 there are Cats Cafe, the JDT Football Club, Forest City, Legoland, shopping malls.. and dont forget to try Restoran Kacang Pool Haji at JB.. and there is a place called Tanjung Piai located in Pontian Johor where you can stand at the southernmost point of Peninsular Malaysia 👍🏼 and if you want to enjoy waterfall, you can go to Gunung Ledang in Tangkak, Johor. (dont go there during wekends) . that is all from me 😆
Thanks so much for the info
