Hey, Zae Zae. Yeah.
Do you like nasi kandar? Yeah.
Is it your favorite? Yeah.
How do you like it?
I love it so much.
Baby is all about that. Sotong (squid) guy.
Sotong boy.
You like sotong?
Hey, fam.
Welcome back.
Today's vlog, I am super super excited about.
I've been patiently waiting.
It's been three weeks.
We've been in Malaysia for three weeks now
and I still haven't had nasi kandar.
Because I was waiting for this moment.
Rachel's gonna try nasi kandar for the very very first time.
So I was waiting for the right moment where we can able to go out and
capture that reaction of her trying it, right?
I'm really excited.
When was the last time you had nasi kandar?
Over two years ago.
And not only Rachel hasn't tried nasi kandar,
my mom over here she's joining us today too
and she has not tried nasi kandar herself
and Zae Zae hasn't tried nasi kandar too.
So we got lots of people trying nasi kandar for the very first time.
How my mom hasn't had nasi kandar? I don't know. (And baby too.)
It's like...
I just don't know. I like it. It's so amazing
but I'm so excited.
Hey Zae Zae.
I got a question for you.
What?
Are you excited to eat nasi kandar?
Are you excited?
Oh, man. I am super excited.
Can you say nasi kandar?
Nasi kandar.
Can you say louder for daddy, please?
Nasi kandar.
Good job.
Rachel's going to order her nasi kandar for the very first time.
How are you feeling?
Is your heart beating fast?
I don't know how to order it.
You don't know how to order?
I think you start at this side.
Bro, just get the regular stuff for the nasi kandar.
Salted egg with chili and all.
You got to get the regular stuff.
All right. Look at that family.
This is a monumental historic moment in the life of Rachel Joy Kumaar.
First time having nasi kandar.
I just kind of like try to get a little bit of everything.
A little bit of everything.
You got to get the veggie. You got to eat everything.
All right. I'm just gonna take a bite. Yeah.
How's that, huh?
Yeah?
It's like a party in my mouth.
Party in your mouth? Yeah.
It's sweet. It's spicy. It's tangy. It's salty.
It's.. Every flavor you can imagine is going on right here.
That's awesome.
Wow.
Now I understand why you like this one.
This is like it's so much flavor.
Try one bite with the salted egg, the vegetable and stuff and just the curry without the chicken.
Oh, original. Original.
Yeah?
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you. Wow.
That's where it's at.
Okay, finally my turn to order.
This is the ordering part, so it's really exciting because they have a lot of stuff.
Bro, one nasi kandar.
I want salted egg.
Cabbage and onion.
What is that?
The bottom one.
Bendi (lady's fingers).
Oh, lady's fingers. Lady's fingers. Yes, lady's fingers.
I forgot the name. Lady's fingers.
Okay, fam.
Finally, I am in food heaven. Literally.
I got Ky Ky right here with me.
I got Zae Zae right here with me.
Lens is not too wide to show them but you know.
Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
You're getting off a bite without the chicken. First bite.
Kuah campur (mixed gravy) is 100% the way to go.
There's just no other way.
So if you're going to try nasi kandar, do kuah campur.
It is so good. It's so good.
And you guys know Nasi Kandar Pelita is like a chain.
They have it everywhere.
Food is pretty good but amazing.
Also, I do have my fam joining here with us.
Say hi everyone. Hi.
Looks like... So Ma, did you get nasi kandar or not? No.
No nasi kandar? Oh, next time you gotta try kuah campur, okay?
Next time. Next time.
How's your nasi?
Very nice. Very nice? Nasi kandar.
Nasi kandar? All right.
Do you do the kari campur or not? Yes. Kari campur. All right. All right.
How's your food?
Is it good?
A bit hot.
A bit hot? Okay, spicy. It's a little spicy.
But did you get the kari campur?
No. No. Just.. Just fish curry.
Only fish curry. Okay. Okay.
I just love how everyone have like their own customized version of like their food
But...
sotong (squid) seems to be a good hit.
Except for my mom and Rachel who do not like sotong.
Mom took already. I see. I see.
I see one sotong. Okay. Okay.
That's progress. You're making progress.
So how's your food?
Have you taken a bite yet?
Not yet. Not yet? Okay. Okay.
Okay, I see the sotong is so popular.
Everyone took sotong. Yeah.
Have you had nasi kandar before? Yes. Yes? Okay. Okay.
Do you like it?
I love it.
Okay. Awesome. At least, I have a friend.
Cement dinosaur. Can me see the mouth?
Open your teeth.
Aaa. Aaa.
Uh huh? Cement dinosaur? Oh my goodness. Open your mouth.
How come cement dinosaur got so many teeth?
He demands to wash his hands down after every meal.
Yeah, that's how we do it.
You'll never see a thing like this in America outside for people to wash their hands.
Yeah. The thing is, in America, they don't usually have sinks anyway in any restaurants you go to.
If there's like places that have finger food like fried chicken or whatever,
they just give you napkins.
And so like the first like one or two years in America, I kind of struggled with that.
I struggled... It's not 2 years. It's been like 10 years and you still complain.
I still complain
but now I'm just like, "You know what? It's okay. I'll just use the napkin and wipe".
I just feel like it's just not clean enough, you know.
You have to wash it with soap and water.
Well, anyway... Oh.
Patti is like being a trooper watching both the kids
But we gotta go put the kids down on a nap.
I don't know what we're gonna do later.
I wanna go hunt for more food.
Kuih (Malaysian traditional snacks). Kuih.
Stay tuned.
What's this, bro?
Cucur sayur (Vegetable fritters).
Cucur sayur.
Rachel, cucur sayur.
We got cabbage, carrot, garlic chives, onion, chili api and green chili.
Whoa.
So... this fritters...
I want...
How many?
3 for RM1. 3 for RM1? Yeah.
I want all of it.
All? All.
Oh, while waiting can try.
Thank you.
For you to try.
This is banana fritter? Yeah, banana fritter.
Thank you.
How is it?
So good. So good?
You like it?
It's sweet. It's sweet. And crispy.
Wow, this banana fritter is so good.
It's very famous. It has been more than 20 years.
Really? Yeah.
It has been 20 years? More than 20 years.
23 years.
It has been 23 years. Oh, man.
This one is so good.
Thank you, sis.
Thank you so much, sis.
One thing I really love about like Malaysian culture
is you can go to like one of this stall like this.
They sell kuih (traditional Malay snacks) or whatever and you can just chat up the people.
Yeah, it's so nice here. So friendly.
They're so awesome. I love it so much. Yeah.
And like I had a blast and I'm like I just want to hang out here with this uncle
and that kakak (sister) because they're awesome.
I love it.
I'm going to miss like
the conversation and...
There's definitely a very lovely sense of camaraderie here.
That's a good word for this. Yeah.
Just you know, you're coming to buy some kuih but like you're a person too.
Yeah, I know. I love it.
So that's it for today.
Our food adventures, nasi kandar.
So any last thoughts about nasi kandar?
I know I've asked you that like 20 million times.
My only question about it and last thought is when can we get it again?
Hey, we're going to have it almost...
You better be careful what you say because we're going to have it a lot on this trip.
All right, guys.
Thanks for watching. We love you.
See you in the next one, all right?
Bye. Bye.
