hi my name is josie and welcome back to my channel today we are in brickfields a part of kuala lumpur
in malaysia and we are going to try something i have been waiting to try for so long
banana leaf and i'm really excited but first this is batu cave
so we are here in batu caves in kuala lumpur malaysia and while i like to travel a little
bit local you still have to come and see these amazing sights of these tourist attractions
sometimes because this is so beautiful obviously a lot of hindu a lot of indian people make up the
culture here in malaysia and this is obviously a really special cultural place for them to visit so
or see or have here so that's why we're here today and it looks stunning okay so
we have started the ascent up these massive staircase it is so big it's very colorful
super pretty really nice baby monkey attached to that one there oh it's under its belly yeah by
the way there's monkeys here and i haven't seen a monkey before out in the wild so i'm like really
scared and nervous apparently they can pick at things so be careful i'm not sure if they'll
take my glasses if they do we're in trouble because i can't see a thing but they're over
there up on these uh on this big fence next to the stairs just look at the city in the background
okay i'm four steps up and i'm tired i'm not gonna lie i'm tired already
so where we are heading right now to the shrine is one of the most popular
and most visited hindu shrines outside of india if i'm breathing really heavy it's because i'm
climbing this massive staircase and it's actually quite hard it's very steep it's almost vertical
this statue at the front is lord maroon i believe tell me in the comments below how to say it
properly but he's 43 meters high which is about 140 141 feet so it's very tall and he took three
years to build we're walking up these stairs now and it's tough these were wooden at one point so
imagine it being like this hard to climb up but also like unstable and falling apart as well and
they actually did fall apart which is why these ones were built in its place and it's been these
stairs ever since these really colorful vibrant very vertical and hard to climb stairs i've never
seen monkeys out before i haven't been to bali haven't been to like where they like i haven't
been i didn't even go to places in thailand where they really had them i've never seen monkeys
i think they're staring at me i'm scared
oh they're kind of cute aren't they
and it's got a baby like clinging to its belly and stuff
oh look at it oh my goodness oh my god oh my god
oh just like climbing on it they fall just wrap around don't they they just
hang on for dear life those little babies she just runs that's so cool
what you doing she eating funny food the baby's nice oh okay so i just made it to the
top there's about 270 something stairs so almost 300 stairs i'm in probably the worst condition of
my life right now and i made it up so you can too believe me but from up the top here everyone down
below looks like ants like we're so high up it's actually kind of crazy and in here is the shrine
and all of this limestone you see inside this cliff they believe is 400 million years old or
something like that i'm pretty sure okay so we got in the cave then we walked across the inside
and it's like paved it's got some um things up on the side of the cave as well and there's a
group down there singing and doing like their songs which is pretty interesting to listen to
we've unfortunately picked half of a rainy day so there's lots of water flowing on us
right now as where we're walking up to through our second set of stairs is like an open top
part of the cave so you can see the sky through the top and because it was raining a little bit
i feel like there's a lot more water here than usual wow oh that's it up there wow
the monkey they're screaming the monkey wants the food oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my
god he's coming oh oh there's so many face got bananas look oh you shut up they're following me
oh okay all right i feel like they stare at you as you walk fast
just to make sure you don't have any food or something okay so we just made our way down
the stairs almost got attacked by monkeys a few times close calls that was my first
experience seeing monkeys that's crazy but now we're heading down and we're going back to show
you some special food something i've been so excited to try since coming here to malaysia
and you can get here a couple of ways we're getting back on the train which is not far of a
walk and you go past this beautiful like waterfall sort of greenery part um or you can get a grab so
we've got to grab up here then we're gonna get the train back down into our next destination let's go
okay so we just got off at the central station and right near central there's an era called
brickfields which is also known as little india and it is awesome i love it we stayed sort of
near here in banksar as well i love this area it's got these like ark sort of things in a very
traditional style i love it it looks pretty and we're gonna find some of the best food here
i'm really excited let's have a look it has just started raining on us but there is a little
sort of street market mini one going on back here while we look for this banana leaf
trying to protect my camera but it's really cool and i've got like vegetables greens
all this like spices as well delicious
oh what's this one
thank you so excited i've been waiting to try this for so long i had a taste the other day
of eating with my hands at the roti and i really like it so everyone else is doing it here as well
and i'm really excited my favorite my mouth's watering we went over there and they had like
the baine marie's full of like curries and sauces and like chickens and things like that so sweet
sweet yum thank you a couple of things we have cabbage we have i'm not i didn't quite
hear what that was we have a whole bunch of rice and he just came over and said that this
is something sweet which i'm excited for it's like a little yellow round ball yes
thank you
spicy oh no no thank you i'm not very good with spice so that wouldn't have worked very well
we have a poppadom added as well and i love cocktails i love bread
we also have a mango lassi and a milo ice on the way if you know me can't miss my milo eyes
mix it together with your right hand and just eat it
oh yeah that didn't go that fast try and squeeze it together more so you make a ball okay it's
actually harder than it looks all over your face all over your face oh yeah get it all together
that's good i'm not sure what that is it's a little bit spicy oh yes
thank you thank you so much thank you oh okay i'm so excited about this
milo ice is my favorite so here we have a mango lassi and it's like a mango kind of
like a milkshake but it has like yogurt and stuff in it as well um and i really liked it back home
so let's see how this one compares oh even better like way better like a nice mango yogurt smoothie
i love i love that i love not as much as cheese or roti what's the sweet thing oh yeah i don't know
it's like a sweet bowl that he told me about very compact he's a very compact little ball
i'm not actually sure what it is if you know what that is tell me in the comments below
because i'd be really interested to know oh the flavor of that green one is really nice
like really nice i'm not sure what it reminds me of that's delicious okay so just come out of the
banana leaf that i've tried for the first time um i don't think i've got the hang of that yet
i might take a few chances or a few tries to get the like scooping motion into your
mouth but it is pouring down rain here in brookfield right now most of the vendors
down this street are kind of like half under cover and so we should be able to go through
here and pick up a couple of indian traditional desserts hopefully so let's see what they have
bye thank you so much thank you
so this is pani puri which is one of the most i think popular street foods in india correct
me if i'm wrong but that's what i think and they're like this little like ball of
like pastry and it's filled with like this like flavored water it has like some like
mashed potato maybe some chickpeas or something i think the actual thing like round ball itself is
meant to be a little bit sweet while the water's a little bit sour i'm pretty sure never seen this
before in my life so this is pretty cool i like it oh it's so spicy oh it's so spicy
i can definitely this is so confusing because i can taste this the sweetness
but i'm crying because it's so spicy it's actually most of it is sweet that's the confusing part
but then you get hit with a little bit like chili and i can definitely taste
that sour part in it as well like overall this is really nice i just
it's a bit too spicy for me look it's honestly a kind of a bit of a messy snack but i'm
learning since being in kuala lumpur that messy usually means tastier so i'm not mad about that
all right we're heading through here now and i think i need something to take away
that spice the rain is everywhere i need something to neutralize my tongue because
i am on fire my mouth is on fire right now thank you so much everyone's huddling under the shade
from all the rain so i asked him what this is i saw some sweet ones and he told me it was pal
milk one and it's the color of milk so that's really cool i also tried a
coconut one from him before i thought i'd just try this and see how it goes
and the coconut one was really really nice too so we'll see how this one
tastes in comparison alright so this one is milk and sweet still my favorite things
very chewy really sweet really good kind of like a fudge that's probably the best thing
i can think of like a fudge i love indian cuisine it's one of my favorite things so brookfield
was high up on my list of things to do here in kuala lumpur if you like
indian food if you like any of that cuisine you have to come here i think it is
a must-see in kuala lumpur i loved it if you want to pair it with the same sort of thing you
can visit batu caves like we did as well this morning which is a big tourist hotspot but if
you like this video i know you're gonna like one of the ones on the screen also from malaysia and
make sure you like and subscribe if you like my videos and i'll see you in the next one bye
