Welcome back guys
You are now kicking it with the Kumaars
So we've had a lot of people ask us to do a Q&A session and we decided now is the perfect time to do it
And we're going to be doing more of these in the future
So if you have a question, you want to ask us feel free to leave it in the comments down below
Alright first question
So Mohd Taufiq asks Kumaar, can you letak (put) translate Bahasa Melayu?
So we already have subtitles for all of our videos in both english and in Malay
To access those subtitles, all you have to do is click on the cc or the three dots
Next question, uh Mohd Taufiq again asks, Kumaar are you a malaysian?
Yes, I am a Malaysian
I have always been a Malaysian and I plan to always be a Malaysian in the future, too
Jayakumar asks, which part of malaysia you are, bro?
I'm from a little city called Klang which is in Selangor and in Klang
I'm from the neighborhood called Palm Grove
Emma asks, uh, she has two questions for us one is if you were offered three wishes, what would they be?
Three wishes each or combined? Let's do combined. Okay combine wishes. Alright
Well, I think a big one for first wish would be
For covid 19 to be completely wiped out and for this pandemic to be over. I agree with that. Yeah, that would be so nice
I think for me I have a passion of you know, helping homeless people, so I really hope like someday
We can be able to eradicate homelessness completely right and there'll be no homeless person at all in the streets
I know it's a big ask and a lot, you know
A long stretch for it
But you know
There is still hope and I feel like we all have a part to play in it and then one day this can be possible
I feel like for number three a huge wish just in general is for all of our family our friends and for you guys as
Viewers just to be healthy to be safe
And the next question is would you both mind to share us your education background since kindergarten until college. I was homeschooled
kindergarten through high school
And I know it's not very common in malaysia
But it's fairly common here in america. And then for college I went to a university down in southern california
And called biola university and then I got my master's degree
In behavior analysis at a university called florida institute of technology
And for me primary and secondary school, I went to La Salle in Klang then
I went to inti college in subang to do my undergraduate
Degree, and then I came over to america to do my master's and I went to DeVry university and I did an MBA in
Project management and yup, that's pretty much it.
So Ramesh asked, bro, can you talk in tamil?
Uh (speaks in Tamil)
Uh, basically i'm not really fluent in my Tamil I can speak a little bit and get by but that's pretty much it
Diana asks congratulations Rachel and Logesh, beautiful family. Love your vlogs. Oh, thank you. Diana. Do you have instagram?
We do we have instagram facebook and twitter. All you have to do is search for Kumaar Family
Make sure you spell Kumaar with two a's
k-u-m-a-a-r
And don't forget to follow us on all the social channels. We love connecting with you guys
Igot7once asked, am I the only one who thinks that Kumaar looks like Fikry Ibrahim?
Nope you are not the only other thing I look like Fikry Ibrahim
So many people think I look like Fikry Ibrahim
So Emmy asks, how did Rachel do
berpantang, is that how you say it? Yeah
After deliver the baby the american way
There actually is no american way. There's no special meals. There's no special rules. Yeah, there's no american pantang at all
so with Zaden, I didn't do anything special after I delivered however now with kyren,
We have been following a book actually with different meals. It's more of the asian way of
Yeah, so it's called the first 40 days, uh, that's something that we've been following this time around. Not a sponsored post
We just were recommended this book by a really close friend
And so i've been making all the recipes from there and helping it to this pantang now
so Justin asks
Why do westerners eat rice with a fork?
I have no clue. Till today, I still have no idea why they choose a fork over a spoon
So it actually probably took a good
Two years into our marriage for me to stop eating rice with just a fork and to actually use a spoon and fork
And I don't know why maybe americans are just really stubborn, but we don't have a lot of rice in our diet
And so maybe that's why we just don't eat a lot of rice. They just don't know how to do it
however, we're all really good at eating pasta
We eat a lot of that
Radradenku
This is just a sincere question, why do you have to drive so far almost every time. Sorry for the ignorant question?
There's no such thing as an ignorant question. You guys you can ask us anything
Like with our sign ask us anything. Oh, oh
Sorry, I didn't get the memo. We're awkward sometimes like this
But seriously, you can ask us anything. But yeah with driving so far
We live in a very large state called california. So to get anywhere you have to drive 10 15 20 30 minutes
It's pretty common to have to drive far to get where you want to go. Yeah in malaysia things are close by each other
So it's very easy and accessible to go to places but here it's very different. You need to really drive out
Just to get somewhere. Afiq asks
If in America, where does brother Kumaar get all the ingredients?
I think Afiq is referring to where do we get all the ingredients to
do all our cooking and stuff and making the kuih and stuff like that. 80 to 90 percent of all ingredients
We get it from asian grocers here. They are asian grocers, but there are some items that we can't get it here
So whenever we go back to malaysia, you know, I buy all those ingredients
to bring it back here. Oh great follow up questions. So Kay Afandi asks, may I know?
How do you get the belacan? Again belacan is something that I have yet to find it here in america
So every time I go back to malaysia I buy like three, four blocks of belacan and bring it back here
So jr. Player asked, bro
Can you speak Malay?
Definitely can because I am from Malaysia
Basically he's asking me if I can speak Malay. And yes, I can speak Malay
Meaning how long have I been in the united states? I moved here in 2011 and i've lived here since so it's
Nine years coming up to 10 years next year. Peach Peach asks, I wonder do you normally cook back in Malaysia?
Answer is no I have never cooked in malaysia before moving here
But once I moved here
I learned how to cook because I miss all the malaysian food so much and it's so difficult to get those foods here
So I was forced to learn and to cook by myself
Hi, baby. Did someone wake up from his nap
So Zairul Ismail asked, sorry Logesh, just want to ask why Americans never use spoon. Is it just for a soup dish?
First of all don't apologize. You can ask us any questions at all. And secondly, I have no idea it
Drives me crazy when I don't see them using spoon
Then this goes back to what you're saying earlier about americans just being really stubborn. Growing up
We only had spoons at the dinner table if we had cereal or if we had soup or something like that
So, I don't know maybe they're just not used to it. I guess not. Cam Chin asks
What camera do you use to film? And what do you use to edit? So I use a nikon z6.
It's a mirrorless camera by nikon to film all our videos and I use
Lumafusion which is an app on the ipad to edit all our videos
So monitor Jiwa asks which part of SF you stay guys? My buddy, love teh tarik
Me too. That is my favorite drink
And for those who don't know SF means san francisco, so we live in what we call the san francisco bay area
It's in northern california and the bay area is fairly large. We live on the east bay side
So we're across the bridge from san francisco
Uh, we live in a little city called san lorenzo. We're about 30 minutes away from san francisco
Yeah, so victor echo says bro bila nak balik malaysia?
Basically, when am I going to come back malaysia? Hopefully early next year to middle next year
Uh, it all depends on covid 19 and the situation how it improves also because we have a newborn right now
So hopefully as soon as possible, but we just don't know at this point
next part, uh
Basically do I miss nasi kandar?
Bro, I miss nasi kandar everyday.
I miss it so much. There is
No place in america that I can find nasi. kandar, and I don't know how to cook it
So I need to learn how to cook it eventually, but I do miss it so much
Olivia asked bro. May I know about the weather there. Compared to malaysia, which is hotter
So malaysia is definitely much more hot and much more humid
However, it does get warm here in the summer and we actually don't have aircond here
So when it gets hot outside, we feel very hot inside
Yeah, so overall it's definitely much hotter in malaysia and it's colder here
But it can get a little hot sometimes here.
Khairul Baker says Kumaar you look fit. What's your secret workout?
It's really not a secret at all. I'm not that fit. I think I still can improve my
my physique
You're very fit
well somewhat but
what I do is you know, I just
Try to eat a healthy diet as much as I can. Control my portions
And I do crossfit that's pretty much all I do
Eventually, I want to share a video about my transformation because I had a lot of weight before and I lost significant weight
So if you do want to watch that video
Let me know in a comment below and I will hopefully create that video sometime in the future
Stephanie asks why your sound so calm and well behaved
It's so rare. I would just like to say that our two-year-old is just like any other two-year-old it is through
the magic of video video editing that you see
The angel that we typically show in the videos. Yeah, he does have his moments
He does tantrums every now and then like a normal two-year-old would
Just that obviously, we don't include that in the video, but in video he does seem like he's a perfect angel
But that's not always the case. He's a pretty good boy, though. We'll give him props for that. He's a good boy. He's a good kid
Kenneth asks, two questions
Would you return to live in malaysia and why?
the answer is
Absolutely. We love malaysia so much. We love the food there. We love the lifestyle. I have a lot of family and friends there
The weather is decent. I know a lot of people, you know, who leave malaysia talk really bad about malaysia
And malaysia is not a perfect country guys, and you know, there's no perfect country out there
But honestly, I have learned to appreciate malaysia so much more after leaving malaysia and the answer is again
Yes, we would absolutely move to malaysia if the opportunity arises in the future and yeah and live there
All right, and the second question is would you like to have some easy one, two, three four five steps easy recipe for pork ribs
Absolutely, that sounds delicious. Yup. So if you like to please send it over to my email
So teddy x kenshin says nice i'm from malaysia feel pride. Can I be your youtube friend?
Absolutely, we love making friends. So if you want to connect with us even more,
Just follow us on instagram, like us on facebook and we can stay more connected there
Okay, so stephanie asks, what is kumar's day job. Is he a cook or a chef?
I can assure you. I'm not a cook or a chef I cook for my family and sometimes for my friends out there
But that's pretty much what it is. Day job, I work in the field of marketing and I work for a marketing agency. Okay
Kang Munir has several questions for us first question. Can you make Q&A
Absolutely. We are making a Q&A right now. That's exactly what you're watching. Are you malaysia or america born?
I am a malaysian. I was born in malaysia. I will always be a malaysian. Are both your parents work in america?
Both my parents are here in america and work here. However, Logesh's parents both live in malaysia and work in Malaysia
Are you study there? Yes, I came here to do my master's which i've already completed and now i'm working
But that was the reason why I moved to america in the first place. Are you work there?
Yes, we both work here in america. Yes, and how you guys meet, uh, we met at church
Actually, there was a little youth group hangout session and that's kind of where we met. Yeah
Matcha asked do you miss to be called 'Hey macha'? All the time. I know back in malaysia
all my friends say that 'hey macha' and all that and I do miss it a lot but
A lot of our fans audience subscribers have said 'hey macha' to me
So I do feel a little bit at home through your comments. So thanks for that
So Muhammad Hussaini asked, how did you guys meet each other and how did mr. Logesh succeed in tackling mrs
Rachel? Uuhhhh, wouldn't you want to know?
So like we mentioned before we met at a church youth group hangout session and how do they succeed in tackling mrs. Rachel?
Um, not sure. I mean first and foremost, I was just myself, just be yourself
If you're trying to tackle a girl.. You cooked for me. I cooked. Yeah, so maybe that's.. you know I cooked for her
First date I brought her out to a malaysian restaurant. It was actually a test to see whether she likes malaysian food or not
And she loved it. I was like, yes
There's a possibility with this girl. If she didn't like the food, it would be like probably no second date
The first malaysian food I tried was chicken rendang and that is still my favorite favorite malaysian dish
Yeah, but besides that yeah, I just guys just be authentic. Just be
yourselves and
If it's meant to be for each other, you guys will just meet the right person. Muhd Ha asks, i'm just curious
Did you teach your son malay? I'm just asking and your son legit look like neighbors kids and he's five years old
Yep. I definitely have to taught him a couple of malay words. Let's let's see if he learns anything
Okay, Zae Zae what is this. Susu (milk)
What is that? Susu (milk)
He knows susu
