Well good morning from Kuala Lumpur.
It is actually a really nice morning.
It is not hot out and it is overcast so this is very pleasant.
So today this morning we wanted to make a breakfast video but the place we came to is
closed for some reason they haven't opened today.
So we are looking for a backup that will be equally good where we can show you some of
our favorite dishes.
So yeah, we're on a bit of a hunt right now and hopefully we'll find something really
good soon.
Alright, so we finally found a place for breakfast.
Woo hoo!
Yeah.
So we found a place called Restoran Annexe and it is found on Nasi Kandar and yeah it
is on the way.
We're heading over to KL Bird Park this morning so it is kind of on our way there.
And we just saw it and we're like yeah let's go try it out.
And they specialize kind of in at least in the morning they specialize in Roti.
Roti and prata.
Yeah, so we've ordered a whole bunch of those.
We've ordered like three and we've got a couple of drinks coming so yeah breakfast is on its
way.
Alright guys so the drinks are here.
Sam went for his classic Teh Tarik and I got myself a Mango juice because you know mangoes
are in season and all.
So let's see.
It looks really frothy on top.
It does.
Mmmm.
That is quite good.
How is that?
That is really sweet.
But you know what?
It makes me wonder if it is from concentrate instead of natural mango.
I think this is fake.
They've given me a fake.
Yeah, it is definitely not natural.
And you know what?
You can probably even tell that from the color because mangos are a bit more yellow.
This one is quite orange.
And yeah, it is like really sweet.
Really sugary.
But you know what?
It is refreshing.
It has got lots of ice so I can't really complain.
And there is a nice little juice shop just down the street where they make like fresh
squeezed fruit and vegetable juices that are like natural and healthy and just really really
tasty.
So I think I'm going to pop over there after this.
Tea time for Samuel.
Yeah, let's try this.
I burnt myself just touching your cup earlier.
Like that stuff is pipping hot.
It really is piping hot.
Yeah.
And you would think in somewhere like as hot and humid as Kuala Lumpur I wouldn't be having
hot tea but early in the morning I still.
I still crave my hot teas and coffees.
Yeah.
So this one is really good.
It has got very milky, it is sugary.
And it also has like a nice strong tea taste.
Oh.
Oh, roti cheese.
Bombay toast.
Oh, thank you.
It looks good.
Okay so we have to admit the breakfast menu was a little bit limited this morning.
When we tried ordering they kept telling us like oh no we don't have that.
Oh no we don't have that.
Oh sorry we don't have that.
So we couldn't order that much stuff to show you.
But we did manage to get Bombay Toast and just by looking at it it kind of looks like
a French Toast.
Except that instead of being served with like syrup or you know Maple Syrup or whatever
you're used to you get a dal.
Your lentil curry sauce whatever.
And something else.
So let's take this for a swim.
Yeah, it looks pretty good.
It looks like it does look fluffy like a piece of French Toast.
Yeah, it looks fluffy.
It has been soaked in milk and egg.
So yeah, this should be interesting.
Mmmm.
That is good.
Do you like it?
Okay.
Yeah.
You know it is a bit strange for me because as a Canadian I associate French Toast with
being sweet and sugary.
So I wouldn't expect it to be savory.
But you know what?
The bread is really fluffy.
So this is good.
It sops up the sauce really well.
Mmmm.
This one is spicy.
This is a spicy sauce.
The orange one.
So will this be your first time having savory French Toast?
Yeah, I think so.
I'm pretty sure it is.
I can't I'm wracking my brain here and I'm coming up with a blank so.
Alright, Bombay Toast.
Alright, swish that around.
Swish, swish.
It goes swish, swish.
Mmmmm.
You can tell that there is a lot of egg in this toast.
So yeah.
I really taste the egg.
Very omelet-y.
And you're right it is kind of like yeah I do associate Maple Syrup being poured all
over it.
I know!
Where is the Canadian Maple Syrup when you need it.
But you know what?
We're getting used to eating curries for breakfast so yeah.
This is how we roll here in Malaysia.
Yeah, but you know what?
We should pack a bottle of Canadian maple syrup when we travel.
Wouldn't that be the best?
Yeah, here come the Canucks.
It wouldn't last very long.
That is true.
Maybe like a week.
And then we'd be out.
Yeah, send us more from home please.
So next up we're going for the cheese roti or cheese prata.
They use the name interchangeably.
Yeah and they've uh they've given us a really big portion here.
Yeah, I know.
Like it is not just one layer there is like seems to be a bottom layer as well.
And you know what?
I'm seeing a lot of cheese.
Like sometimes when you order this they just put like one measly slice and they're like
that is it.
Here is your cheese roti.
I know.
I think they went all out here.
Maybe we have two or three.
Let's try this.
Mmmm.
I think that is the best cheese roti I've had.
Yeah?
And we've been eating this in Singapore and also here in KL.
Yeah, like you said there is just a lot of cheese in here.
Yeah.
They did not skimp.
Oozing.
They did not skimp out on that.
That is what makes it so good.
Also, you look like you've have orange lipstick on right now from the food.
Haha.
Hahaha.
Can you see the cheese in there oh la lah.
So let's grab this piece.
Take it for a swim.
Like Sam says.
Dunk it in there.
I know that is our new expression whenever we dip something in sauce now.
That is nice.
That is really good.
Isn't that good?
Like the amount of cheese.
The amount of cheese is what makes it.
And we've actually just ordered one more to hopefully get a sweet one.
They have a Milo roti.
So that should be coming soon.
Mmmm.
Breakfast story time.
Yeah, so I have a really cool breakfast story to share with you from the last time we were
in Kuala Lumpur maybe about two and a half years ago with my parents.
And this was just so awesome.
We all went out for breakfast, I think there was a couple of family friends so there must
have been like six, seven, eight of us.
Yeah, it was a big group.
And we ordered a big meal and there was just some friendly locals who struck up a converstation
with us and then as we go to pay we realize uh the clerk comes over and goes oh they've
taken care of breakfast for us.
Yeah.
That was so sweet.
And it was everyone's first time trying roti and the chai masala.
So those nice friendly people we sat next to you know they just quietly paid for our
breakfast and it was just such a nice you know gesture.
Yeah, a nice gesture especially for my parents because it was there first time in Malaysia.
The very first day and to have that kind of hospitality and friendship from locals is
just incredible.
That is something you never forget.
You never forget those kind of moments.
Yeah.
And that is the breakfast place we wanted to take you to this morning but it was closed.
Yeah, so unfortunately it was closed but the memory still lives on.
And it is funny because you can visit a lot of sites, you can do a lot of things in a
city and over the years you may forget some of that but it is these kind of like these
stories and these local interactions you never forget that.
Never never.
Okay, so we ordered one more Roti because we were still hungry and this one down here
has Milo sprinkled on it.
So it is not super popular but you can still get it.
You can ask for it.
And Milo is basically like a chocolate powder that you would mix into your milk kind of
like Nesquick.
Uh, so yeah this is going to be sweet, it is going to be sugary.
It is going to be good.
It is a really popular drink here in Malaysia.
You know what?
We should have ordered the drink as well to kind of compare and contrast.
We will do that.
We will order the drink.
Will we?
Yes.
Oh man.
Okay, we're still eating here.
This is like the video that never ends.
We just keep ordering more and more food.
So this is what it looks like.
The chocolate is a little bit melted.
Yeah, I would try it without the curry so you can see what the taste is like.
Yeah, I'm not dipping this in the sauce.
And we have a cat friend.
We may have to feed the cat friend.
Mmmm.
It is like the sugar is a little bit caramelized.
And that is quite nice.
Man, this would be nice with a cup of tea.
Do you taste the chocolate-y-ness of it?
Oh yeah.
That is the star.
The chocolate.
Mmmm.
You know what?
Let's see how chocolate and spice goes together.
Yeah, you can do that.
You can mix your chocolate.
Why not right?
Why not.
When in Malaysia.
Yeah, alright.
Time to try this.
In he goes for the Milo.
Yeah, you can really see how it is kind of caramelized here.
I can actually see the little flakes.
Little grains of sugar I should say.
Not flakes.
Yeah.
Mmmm.
That is really good.
You know what would be a really good one?
Getting a banana roti with milo on top.
Do they have that?
If they did.
We missed out.
They had no bananas.
That is one of the things we asked for.
Oh right.
Banana roti.
No banana roti.
Right.
I'm just remembering that now.
That would be amazing if you combined those two together.
Womp, womp.
And look.
Here is our cat friend.
Meow meows.
Sam feed our cat friend.
Come here cat friend.
Meow meows.
So this cat eats roti and dal.
Good kitty.
That is a good breakfast.
So Sam was true to his word and this is his third drink because he already had two teas.
Yeah, this is technically our forth drink we've ordered.
Because I've had two teas myself.
You've had your mango drink and now we're doing this.
We're full.
Like take a look here.
We have finished all our roti.
All of our roti.
All three of them.
So we are doing this for you guys.
Let's try it.
Milo.
Ooh.
That is sweet.
It is like having uh.
It is like having instant hot chocolate mix.
Yeah?
Oh yeah.
That is really sugary.
By the time I'm done this I'm going to be on like a fierce sugar high for the rest of
the day.
Like we have just we have been eating a lot of sweet things this morning.
We have.
And you know what?
For the milo you can get it hot or you can get it iced.
We probably should have gone with iced.
Probably.
Because the sun is starting to come out and temperatures are getting hot.
I'm already sweating.
So yeah.
So that is a wrap for breakfast here in Kuala Lumpur.
Yeah, I'm really really stuffed right now.
Uh huh.
As you should be.
As I should be.
In terms of price point that came to 18.70 Ringgit which is $4.15 and that was for four
drinks and three mains.
So yeah, that was a super cheap breakfast.
Filling.
Now we're ready to go explore.
And you know what?
We should also mention before we finish up.
Oh yeah.
There isn't just one typical Malaysian breakfast.
Because you have so many different cultures here.
There is like different meals that you can get for breakfast.
There is Malay, Chinese, Indian food.
Yeah.
In fact, we saw someone at the Central Market selling little triangle shaped Nasi Lemak.
Which is wrapped in a banana leaf and yeah that looked tempting as well too.
So you can get noodles, you can get rice, you can get roti.
There is plenty of variety.
And that is what makes it awesome here.
Yeah.
Alright, off to go sightseeing.
Tata.
Ciao.
