- Malaysia Might Have the Best Food in the World
Every meal I've eaten in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, Malaysia has been some of the best food I've ever eaten! My top local dishes in Malaysia so far are Laksa and Nasi Lemak, but in Malaysia also seems to bring out the best foods from other cultures as well, which is one of the reasons why I think Malaysia might be my top country in the world to visit for food!
My Primary CZcams Channel:
/ @travelescapesofficial
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!
😂 sounds about right!
Same. My american husband wants to go back to Malaysia just to eat.
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!
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
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
you just have to tell them dontcha,
fun fact i once have to work in one of these birds nest farms installing an earthing system, its loud as heck in there and smells like bird poop
Wow great sharing my friend , looks so yummy yummy food there❤❤❤❤
I love how confused you look😂😂😂 And how you're so enthusiastic about trying everything once😂😂
hahaha. thank you for watching!
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.
Especially only for Fried Rice
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
Thank you for this wonderful video. Welcome to KL, Malaysia.
Thank you for watching!
@@TravelEscapesDetour 😄
I love how she gave you the omelette to help fatten you up or something haha
😂 she was so confused when I showed her how little I had on my plate. I thought it was plenty, haha
@@TravelEscapesDetourI looked up the bird's nest and I think I found the manufacturer's website but I still have no idea what's in that drink! Sorry lol... I do know it's supposed to be very healthy though. So there's that 🤷🏻😄
Sambal balado looked awfully tempting, nothing like a hidden gem of a place in a huge metropolis
100%! There’s actually a lot of them like that around that area of Kuala Lumpur. So many food options there! Have you been there?
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!😂
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?
❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😉😉😉
hahah.. I'll never be as good as Anthony Bourdain.. He was one of a kind. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Nobody can be the next Anthony Bourdain without his love for the Sarawak laksa which he calls 'the breakfast of the Gods' and without his yearn to visit the indigenous people even when the way over was rough.
@stephaniejaboh8929
That is what I love about Anthony Bourdain, how simple and humble he was. He was always willing to embrace new experiences, mingling with the locals and indigenous without being prejudiced. Now, that is a real class act!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@ValC488 So unfortunate, he is gone now. I hope he found his peace.

We can pray for him, more so when I am a Catholic. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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.
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.
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
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
Hey thank you for the info!! I fell in love with Laksa here! Once I tried it in Penang I had it 3 times in the next couple days hahah
@@TravelEscapesDetour I'm so glad you like it so much! And you're welcome! ☺️
laksa original from Bogor Indonesia
@@OreoBili-fs4bz since when? 😂
@@abcdenial since long time ago before ur countfy always copy paste and claim all Indonesian belonging
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.

Thank you!!
welcome sir✌️😁🇲🇾♥️🇺🇲🇨🇦
Thank you!
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 🇲🇾❤️😊
thanks for the info about the Bird's nest! That's a good way to put it, it's the melting pot! So many different cultures and cuisines! I love it!
@@TravelEscapesDetour always my pleasure bro
Thanks.
Love the video bro❤
Thanks for watching Abz!
Suhanjaya Lian enjoy watching....
Mate that's the weirdest plate of food I've ever seen anyone get ahaha. Where is your flippin rice?!
haha... I often just try to eat meat, eggs, and nuts during the day. If I eat too many carbs I feel lethargic and am unproductive hahah. But I agree, it's definitely better with rice
@@TravelEscapesDetour Yeah man Asian foods are made to eat with rice or the flavour is all off!
sir ur eyes is really pretty.. nice vlog btw
Haha thank you!!
Nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, nasi lemak, nasi campur. Plus indian cuisines, chinese cuisines
Nasi Lemak was one of the first local foods I tried! So good!
@@TravelEscapesDetour yes soooo good
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
Awesome 👏
Thanks for watching!
Beef rendang is the best for me. It's just really spicy
Enjoy your stay in our beautiful country, food haven ! ❤
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.
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.
Oooo maybe those round balls were dates then! Yeah, the nest didn’t have any flavor
Watching from Melaka, Malaysia 🇲🇾🌺
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.
I flew into KL and out of Penang. Both have such good food! That Laksa was in Georgetown, Penang and the rest from this video was in KL. It’s very affordable and really the best food. Have a good trip!
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.😊
Welcome to our beautiful Malaysia, anyway you have beautiful eyes 🤭😁🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
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
Hahaha yes I googled it afterwards. I didn’t have wifi or cell data at the time, so I couldn’t learn about the bird saliva that I was about to drink 😂
Self-service karinderya.. that's cool 😊
Yeah I was kind of confused for a minute 😅
I loved tofu sambal ..nything that is sambal is ❤
Ooo that’s the name of what I ate?
Hi jonathan welcome to malaysia ❤🇵🇭
Hi! Thank you!!
Truly All Blue.
sir make more video👍😁
I have several more already filmed in Malaysia! I just have to edit it all hahah
@@TravelEscapesDetour ✌️😂😂😂
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.😅
Bird nest in the bottle 😂 look struggle to digest 😂
It was actually good! I just didn’t know what I was drinking 😂
That is egg tofu.. my favourite 😋
it was so good!
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.
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.
Brid nest is a collagen drink
Nah i'm in love with mozambican foods ❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊
The bird nest already mix with the water. Actually the things that you eat is fruit name longan
Swallow nest, rich in collagen
Yeah that’s what I learned later!
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
WELCOME TO MALAYSIA❤
thank you!
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.. 😂😂😂
hahaha
Bird nest is extremely good for the skin, its also really expensive
Street food is the best!...just follow the locals 😊
Definitely!
That is egg tofu not soy bean tofu. The drink at KK Mart is swiftlet bird nest...
Oo thank you for the info! I think I preferred that egg tofu, and I was able to google the birds nest later when I got wifi, but I had no idea what I was drinking at the time! 😂
i'm muslim. Watching our India aunty foods make my mouth watering, but we can't eat them😭
Why not? most indian don't eat pork and you can see they have Muslim workers so I guess they probably use halal ingredients
Birds nest is made from birds sliver. Your primary CZcams channel link doesn’t work tho
ooo really? thank you for letting me know, I'll go check it now!
here it is youtube.com/@travelescapesOFFICIAL?si=BjhYxPdvaz9S4XZ7 but if that doesn't work you could type "@travelescapesofficial" into the search bar. Thank you for watching!
It’s the saliva of a bird. But it’s called bird’s nest. It has lots of nutrients.
Roti canai was no. 1 in 2022, then this year we are no 2 (2023).
👍👍👍🥰🥰
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.
Yeah, her cooking is just mediocre for us. I don't know why you said its incredible.
I love that Bird Nest drink. Prefer the rock sugar version :)
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.
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 🤣🤣
hahah.. I just didn't know why there would be a bird's nest in a bottle haha
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.
hahah.. I researched it later once I got wifi... that seems to be bird saliva and is eaten in soups. The nest doesn't have flavor, so in this drink they added honey and probably some sugar. Thanks for watching Ben!
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
If you love laksa..you should go to borneo to taste sarawak laksa..👍
Oh really? I had it in Georgetown and loved it!
But sarawak laksa more deffrent you should try it…sarawak also part of malaysia too..at the island of borneo
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.
It was delicious! Hungry or not haha
Hi Jonathan
Laksa is my favorite one 😅😮
It’s soooooo good
Don't forget to try Our Sarawak Laksa ( the late Anthony Bourdain's favourite, Breakfast of the Gods).
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

🇲🇾♥️👍
Dude . Get some rice!!!😂😂😂
Haha everyone is bothered when I don’t get rice 😂
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
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.
Hahahaha it’s quite good I think that’s hilarious 😂
Which one is good?
@@TravelEscapesDetour the Birds Nest but your face doesn’t agree hahaha
Your chances to meet a local Malaysian in Kuala Lumpur is probably 65%. The rest are foreign workers , foreign students and foreign tourists😂😂
I noticed that! I met more first or maybe second generation foreigners who moved there. It seemed everyone I met was from somewhere different
@@TravelEscapesDetour
2nd generation? No . ALL of them are first generation foreigners. They are guest workers and will returned to their home country
You might be confused with local Malaysians. Malaysians by itself are multi ethnic, multi cultural and multireligion .
MALAYSIA is not a melting pot where everything is fused into one. Rather, Malaysians are like a mosaic, distinct in ethnics but glued harmoniously together
I visited Malaysia twice and i fail to appreciate or eat the food that made me wanna go back again..none.
😢😢
what ?? if that so, i am eating the best food in the world...like every meal of my life....🎉🎉🎉😂
👍👍👍
You must eat rice with those chicken etc
Everything is better with rice 🍚
Hi Andrew😊
Who’s Andrew?
Rm9 ringgit for one tofu one fried egg n 2 small chunks of chicken with one bottle water is expensive😳
Why no rice bro?
Welcome to the food capital of planet Earth..😅
😂 thank you!
Bro i think u eat chinese food will suit u..coz they're not spicy at all!!
Ooo yeah I had some in Penang!
Shake a bottle and u can drink bird nest easily...
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.
Yes malaysia is a melting pot, try travelling out of the capital to other states
I’ve come to Penang!
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
you not in philipines anymore??
This was filmed a few weeks ago
oh ok i was thinking damn that was fast lol @@TravelEscapesDetour
@@steveb2915 haha, no… this second channel will probably have some delayed videos pop up here and there. I might post a Turkey and Japan video here from months ago
Animal home 4 drinks 😂👍
😂
U must be kidding
About what?
Why no rice that is so sacrilegious unless your on a diet, why do review with no riceeeeeee!!!!!!
It is for dietary purposes. I agree; it tastes better with rice, though
Dn't trvel alone
