Trying EXOTIC food/fruits in Kuching, Sarawak Borneo! Why does Malaysia taste so good? EP34

Great video again n again, thanks for sharing. 10:36 Lemon grass = Serai, 10:43 Curry leaves = Daun Kari, for masak (cooking) not "massage", 10:55 Petai = stinky bean, 12:18 Jering = Nettle, Do come back to Malaysia. Your contents as a whole are unique... unlike most Youtubers'.

I suddenly saw my husband in this video @ 14:30 (the guy with dark shirt) asking if "you are from Korea?" 😊😊😊 I myself is a Chinese but taken care by a Malay. family since baby. 😊 Hope you really enjoy your stay in Kuching Sara

The beauty of the people of Sarawak. Most of them can converse in English.

The tropical weather in Malaysia one of the reason why our fruits taste delicious. Also the soils that rich with substances for trees to grow. Here in Borneo Island you can find the tallest tropical tree in the world located at Maliau Basin, Sabah (formerly known as North Borneo). Both Sabah & Sarawak have the most indigenous & ethnic groups in Malaysia. 28 indigenous group found in Sarawak, and about 43 ethnic groups found in Sabah. Malaysia in a Muslim country, but the majority of people living in East (Borneo) Malaysia are Christians. And every year both states celebrating their harvest festival. Kaamatan Harvest Festival is celebrated in Sabah on the 30th & 31st May, Gawai Harvest Festival celebrated in Sarawak on the 1st & 2nd June every year.

I'm from Brunei but I have many cousins living in Kuching -- it is a GREAT city for foodies!

Wow Yan! This is amazing. I remember meeting you in Iran a couple of months ago, when you just started you channel and had about 12 views on your videos. Great to see you have travelled so far! And i see that thousands of people are enjoying following you. Have a great trip!

So many exotic fruits and foods and the people are friendly. Thank you for sharing. I must visit Malaysia.

Hi welcome to my hometown. The pink flower is called ginger torch. The last greyish fruit is a cousin of the the stinky beans. They are called jengkol beans. Those cakes are called kek(cake) lapis(layered) our iconic Sarawak cakes. The round snack is called penyiaram..its made with flour, rice flour and palm sugar. You should try our famous kolo mee, Sarawak laksa, Kueh Chap to name a few. If you want to know more about Sarawak culture, you should visit our Sarawak Culture Museum which is the biggest museum in Malaysia and the 2nd biggest in South East Asia.

Wow . Thank you for visiting Sarawak. My home. If ever you're heading this way again contact us .. just anyone in the comment section. i am sure there will be more than a dozen people willing to share with you the beauty of Sarawak. esp . the hospitality.

Actually, a lot of the tropical fruits are also found in Yunnan and Hainan, far from Anhui. China is also very diverse and full of pleasant surprises, even to Chinese.

thank you for sharing the fruit and the cautionary statement! love your videos!!

10:37 - yes she's tying up the lemongrass in bundles. 10:45 - curry leaves, used for cooking curry and add aroma to some dishes eg. butter prawns, oatmeal prawns/chicken, salted egg seafood/chicken

Great video with pleasant presentation showing the local food culture. Two thumbs up and keep up with the good work.

Mexican hat pastry 🇲🇽 thats soooo funny 😂... Looks like i just learnt new local food item thanks to you, amoi 😘...cheers

It is anazing that you went to Sarawak and even tried durian. You are more educated on S.E. Asia than 99.99% of Chinese in China who are not interested in ethnic Chinese people living outside China. You did an excellent job. What is sad is that most Chinese in China are not interested in ethnic Chinese living in other parts of Asia. I have watched other travel videos of yours too. Good job!

I feel so homesick at the same time happy to see you enjoying my former hometown as I have migrated to Australia . I have not been home over 2 years now because of covid but I am going back in May next year . Thank you for the presentation

Used to live in Kuching for several years and your videos brought me unforgettable memories.

The fern is called "midin". It's really delicious stir-fried with garlic or with belacan (shrimp paste). Can also be made into a pickled salad with shallots and chilli.

That big banana is called plantain or cooking banana. As the name implies, you cannot eat it raw. It tastes a bit tart. Usually we cut it into 1cm thick slices without peeling the skin and steam for 3 to 5 minutes. Another way of cooking is to pan fry this pisang tanduk slices on banana leaf.

Hi Yan, you should visit the northern part of Sarawak too. The prehistoric Niah cave in Niah National Park where the birds nest are harvested by climbing bamboo poles. Then the Mulu National Park, where you find one of the biggest caves in the world. One of the wonders of the world. Cheers
