- My first day in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was nothing but an adventure! From running around, trying to get to Batu Caves for sunrise to ending off the day at Federal Territory Mosque, my first day in Malaysia was one for the books!
I had NO idea about the key fundamentals of the country, I'm slowly starting to fall in love with Kuala Lumpur City. There's SO much to this city, I can't wait to share and explore the rest of my time here with you all. Safe & happy travels!

Welcome to Malaysia. Hope you have an awesome time here. Here are a list of food that you should try:
1. Nasi Lemak (National Dish) - Sold just about everywhere, they may be served in a dish, or better yet, wrapped in banana leaf
2. Roti Canai with Dhal and/or Curry sauce - You can get it at any Mamak Restaurant.
3. Char Koay Teow - some of the best char koay teow can be found at hawker stalls/night markets
4. Curry Laksa
5. Satay (Chicken/Beef) - again you can find these at night markets/stalls by the roadside
6. Chilli Pan Mee
7. Chicken/Beef Rendang - you can eat it with rice, or if you're lucky enough you can eat it with Lemang (sticky rice soaked with coconut juice and heated up in bamboo sticks)
8. Apam Balik - dessert
9. Cendol - super awesome thirst quenching dessert. p/s: make sure you stir/mix it well before eating it.
10. Ramly Burger - Ramly is a brand name for the patty and you can find roadside burger stalls selling them. Its a definite must try.
11. Teh Tarik - literally means "Pulled Tea"
ENJOY!
Did you just write this out for me you one soul ❤️ thank you so much! I’ve tried some but will add this to my list!
@@gracefkim yeah! Just wanna make sure you have an awesome & memorable time here in Malaysia. I will definitely be waiting and tuning in to more of your vlogs to see all the adventures that you encounter whilst you're here. If you do have time, make sure to come and check out these places in Malaysia as well
1. Penang - Malaysia's Food Haven
2. Malacca - Malaysia's Historic City
3. Langkawi - Malaysia's very own paradise
And don't be shy to ask the locals if you're unsure of something. Our english may not be as good, but I'm sure you'll get the info you need.
Safe travel & keep up the awesome content!
@@gracefkim pls refer to various youtuber for ideas of what to eat n where to go. Jetlag Warrior is one of them
Some Malaysian foods to try:-
Malay Malaysian food:
- Nasi Lemak
- Satay
- Ramly Burger
- Nasi Dagang
- Nasi Kandar
- Mee Goreng
Chinese Malaysian food:
- Hokkien mee
- Salted egg Prawn
- Laksa (you've tried)
- Prawn mee
- Char Kuey Teow
- toasted kaya butter bread, soft boiled eggs with White Coffee for breakfast
- Claypot chicken rice (take away balance if you can't finish the entire Claypot)
*Go to Jalan Alor (street name around 7pm), they have lots of food choices
Indian Malaysian food:
- Roti Canai
- Capati
- lots of curry flavors to try
Dessert - Cendol (be sure to mix the palm sugar completely till the melted ice becomes brownish to get complete flavors)
And lots more, just couldn't recall everything in one go. Don't need to waste money going to lavish restaurants, eat street foods or in small coffee shops or stalls you'll get to taste nice foods.
thank you🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
As I watch your travels from Vietnam to Malaysia, you're getting better at this. You seem to be better organized and your editing much more smoother. More success to your future adventures Grace, nothing clueless about you that's for sure.
hey pedro! thanks so much for that. i've been trying to get better at my craft for sure - thanks for following along since.
yes she is actually getting better🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾✌
The aerial shot of the mosque is so awesome!!
Great first video of Kuala Lumpur! Can't wait to see more! 😃
Thank you! I'm loving it here so far~
Laksa is different at different locations. You will find out. Example:
Asam laksa - penang island
Nyonya laksa - melaka
Johor laksa - johor
Sarawak laksa - sarawak
Not forgetting laksam from Kelantan
@@kcliew2493 yeah
Welcome to Malaysia grace !! Enjoy the food, the people, the scenery & the mix of all thats malaysian.. its really truly asia !!
I’m very impressed by the leaps and bounds of added production value of your videos. Damn. A new star is born!👍💕
aww thanks mark~
Malaysia has various kind of laksa. Try them all!
Yeah grace, first impression at chinatown kl is different because there are many stalls selling items. The food stalls are mostly at the backlanes which you found out. However there are stalls all over the place. Chinese are not confined to china town only. If you are free, you can also visit the pudu food court icc. Many many food stalls there.
15:55 wow.. you are sunset sunrise hunter too.. eager to see your next video..
Malaysia looks nice so far and I dnt see the noodle electric lines on the city streets like Manila. Manila needs to upgrade.
so so nice🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
We took many years to changed that. Btw have you seen bangkok?
Welcome to Malaysia, hope you enjoyed your visit!
I love the part at the beginning with all the birds. Good video Grace.
glad you like!!
yes the video is so so interesting🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾❤️ there are a lot of Chinese n Indian n they r Malaysian .
You save me 💰 by me watching you travel haha where we going next? 🤣
I'm glad my mistakes can save you 😅
@@gracefkim ... since you are in Kuala Lumpur suggest you try ...
1) Nasi Lemak Wanjo at Kampung Baru near the Kampung Baru LRT station
2) Ramly Burger at any night market
3) KL Tower for the view
... have fun
thank you so much for the lovely video🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
So my bucket list! Must visit
Ok so the food section in Chinatown is at the end of the big entrance (actually the exit) and then turn right and left again just before the MRT station. There is a row of Chinese and contemporary restaurants there, set up in old colonial and Chinese styles. The place you ate was actually inside the wet market. Btw there are more than 10 types of Laksa in Malaysia. Some Laksa are Chinese inspired, while most are Malay ones.
I realized after a second visit! Thank you for the info ☺️
Hi Grace, thanks for great video! Hope to relocate from Las Vegas to Patong Thailand next year and definitely want to check out KL as possible second spot to retire. If you can please show some rental condos and places to stay long term. 😊 thanks
Jeffrey

Thank you is Terima Kasih :)
You were so close to a fantastic cafe when you went to but to Batu caves. It was only one stop further on the train and it’s called Tiffin in the yard. Look it up you will be impressed. My daughter told me about it. James from Australia
Curry in Malaysia generally uses coconut milk as the base, where as in India and any authentic Indian restaurants, uses some sort of yogurt as the base.
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾 🤗
*Welcome to Malaysia Truly Asia Good food -Enjoyed Thanks sharing very good videos*

its lovely to be in malaysia🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
welcome to KL
Claypot Bak Kut Teh is a chinese lover food,u must try it.
Suggest you to visit "ICC Pudu" for breakfast, plenty of famous food over there. And there was a big wet market, "Pasar Pudu", pasar = market. Where locals buy groceries at cheap price over there
Welcome to Malaysia. Wow, u can handle spicy food. Try durian n mangosteen, king n queen of fruit. Go ICC pudu to eat too.
love spicy food :)
@@gracefkim it is durian season. Go for it !
The drone shot is wow! 🥰
Really nice 👍 quality video and content, you do a great job story telling. Hi from NY
For malay food you can visit kampung baru. For south indian food, brickfields (little india).
Wow i love the view.
Love is your video GK.
Such an amazing places ...Appreciate your video😊
I’m really enjoying your videos since the PI 🙏😊
That mie kari chines food...if laksa..white mee witch fish leak...and have mie kari malay version
Welcome², done subscribe!
thanks sir Bob🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
There is little korea in Ampang
In Malaysia.. every states .. KL curry laksa.. Johor laksa, melaka nyonya laksa , penang asam laksa , Sarawak laksa .. etc.. all are different
Injoy and take care always love from Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️😘
I recomment you to go to Gombak & Klang river to watch River of Life night vibe. just beside Masjid Jamek (Mosque)
I did go there!! It’s so beautiful both during the day and at night :)
I love Laksa! Although I kinda prefer Singapore Seafood Laksa. You make eating laksa look so yummy! ❤😊
Never been but need to try!
Singapore Seafood Laksa is more or less the same as Melaka Nyonya Laksa, as they are both Baba Nyonya inspired. What she had was Curry Laksa which is more or less a KL Speciality.
Oh… I just miss @Grace Kim. Don’t mind me. 😝
@@bukitkatilmp yeah even singaporeans travel to melaka and ipoh and penang for food.
WELCOME
Very interesting. Cheers for sharing :)
Thai and malaysian food are spicy, so you will enjoy your food here.
Terima (Accept), Kasih (Love/Affection) = (Please) Accept (my) Love / Affection....
Curry Laksa = Is delivered by ethnic Chinese, but the curry is Indian, so yeah... culturally diverse...
Go to Ipoh there is a much better cave temple there. I stayed at the Hillcrest Hotel just across the street.
i love Ipoh🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
You have to go to Singapore 🇸🇬 , so much to do there but if you have time the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay is a must see. 😉
Everything & everywhere at Singapore is man-made,there's no natural stuff at this small country..n it's such a tiny island..Malaysia is HUGE & has plenty of exciting & beautiful places to explore.. CZcamsrs just love Malaysia
welcome to Malaysia.. this is diversify cultural country. better every tourist go with segmenting visits, either by cultural, culinary, religious, or natural explorations. otherwise will missing certain interesting places, unless for frequent traveler, they will come many times..
There are 3 major ethnicities in Malaysia; Malay, Chinese Indians. The other ethnicities are the Indigenous, 100 races in Sarawak and Sabah (East Malaysia in Borneo Island)
Yes so I’ve been learning!! What a place here - love the diversity
The oldest Chinatown in the world is in Binondo...Philippines...you were there @GraceKim
why do we look food when it is Chinatown?
Penang Laksa is great too.
I am not sure if you stayed till the sunset when you went to the “River of Life”. If you did, you would have enjoyed their LED light and Fog show at night
Please come back to Malaysia again 😊😊😊
The mosque look like Palace from starwars.
This stall have yummy curry laksa....fave store
Remember white mee laksa yello mee is mee kari or mie kuah and more
10:41 Just to correct u a little bit, when u say "Malaysian" it covers all races (Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups) who have Malaysian nationality. Most of the Chinese & Indians here are descendants of immigrants from 19th century so they are born & bred here. Perhaps what u meant to say here is "Malay". If it's just a slip of tongue on your part, I apologize :)
You haven't tried nasi lemak yet? The national dish? That will be another 'OMG' from you.
stay tuned for the NEXT video :)
Try our chicken rice or nasi ayam also ya....the famous family chain restaurant is called ..The Chicken Rice Shop......
@@mohdzaki1089 the best chicken rice is hainanese ori chicken rice. Not the outlet ones which is so so only. However satay is not a bad option for grace to try.
Wow so Cool + the sound track my head is nodding 😄😉👌🤙, may I know pleas the title of your sound track Ms.Grace Kim 😁🙏 thank you in advance for your reply. Be safe always and have Blessed day 🤩😍🥰🤗🎯💯👌🤟🤙🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🇰🇷🇵🇭
welcome to malaysia 😊
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
There is no curry laksa, it's 2 different food - curry mee or laksa mee, anyway enjoy take care
It is 400m years old. Yes dinosaurs were around when the cave was young
yes right🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
Try visit Crab Island( aka pulau ketam )
There are also many Filipino there in Malaysia. Most likely in Sabah this is a part of sultanate of sulu. And there are some issue there. U can find in CZcams also the history..
Yes - Sabah is closer to the Philippines! Let's see if I make it out there :)
Bat mo pa minention 🤣
yes they live in Sabah🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
Love the energy! Welcome to Malaysia
You must go to Klang town and try Claypot Bak Kut Teh. Both soup and dry version.
according to google, it's temporarily closed :(
@@gracefkim the whole town is full of bah kut teh stalls actually.
@@keangwooichoo6138 yup. Within 5-6 km radius of my place alone... there are more than 20 bak kut teh restaurants/stalls... they are everywhere here....
13:08 even looking at your eating the curry itself looks yummy
Hi! Is 1 hr. enough to tour Batu Caves? Thanks for replying!
Grace,.. Go to Putrajaya please..thanks.
Haiyaaa... they are called Malays. Malaysian is our nationality. Haiyaaaaa....
Hi Grace, Welcome to Malaysia, I'm so happy to see you here. Hope you can have a good experience from Malaysians. Please go to CZcamsr Chu Bro's channel if you need references related to food in Malaysia. He is from Korea and loves food in Malaysia.
Chinese Malaysians are Malaysian. As well as Indian Malaysians. There was huge migration from China & India during British rules, therefore the majority of Chinese & Indians here are born & raised in Malaysia. I guess when you were referring to Malaysians as a race, you mean the "Malays". 😁
Hope you can move to bali indonesia.
DO YOU ASK PERMISSION FROM THE MOSQUE TO FLY THE DRONE
Sis you can try go to genting highland or Cameron Highlands 😁
saved on my list :)
@@gracefkim go on weekdays. As weekends are packed.
@@gracefkim, and don't forget Langkawi island, Skybridge with its steepest cable cars. Don't forget your jacket as Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands and Skybridge (Langkawi) are cold, basically they're all around the top of mountains.
correction: Malaysians included Malay Malaysian, Chinese Malaysian, Indian Malaysian and many more. All are Malaysians.
How did u go around? By bus? Is taxi safe
laksa is malaysia food
Hi! Do you recommend Malaysia for solo female travellers? I'm planning to go there, but I'm having second thoughts regarding safety.
I’ve only gone to Kuala Lumpur city but I felt really safe there!! And people are so friendly there as well :)
@@gracefkim will plan my trip there next year. Thank you for responding!🥰
Malaysia generally very safe. But of course common sense and pre caution needed. But malaysia is farr safe thn big european cities and of course american cities.
Buddhist temples too. Girls shouldn’t wear skirts or shorts. I did tho but I’m a guy. They just don’t want females to have revealing clothing. That’s all for respect
yes, i second that
12:52 he replied to you in malaysian (makanan=food) because he thought you were local🤭
any food in malaysia cooked by Malaysians are Malaysian food, even chinese food, is not pure chinese, it has the fussion of other ingredients from other cuisines.
If you want your Vlogs to be successful, you how to except comments, whether it be positive or negative. Whoever NAH studio sare I would reconsider their involvement.
i think Kim Jon Un has done the right thing , keeping his country beautiful
That is tofu pok.
haha🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻
