When I asked Rachel out for the very first time on a date,
I brought her to a steakhouse.
Chili's is not a steakhouse.
It's not? No.
Chili's. It's a steakhouse. No, it's not.
They have steak.
Okay. Okay. That's fine. Whatever.
So I thought it's only fair...
to bring Rachel again while we in Malaysia to a steakhouse in Malaysia,
so that she can try Malaysian style western food.
You want to know something funny? Yeah!
I've been to Malaysia seven or eight times now
and I still have never had western food here.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Seriously? Seriously. Why would we eat western food?
We're always here for such a short amount of time.
I don't want western food. That's true. That's true.
I wouldn't actually go to a western food place because....
But yeah, you're gonna be in for a treat
because western food in Malaysia, it's different.
It's different than American western food.
You guys may not know it, you guys may know
but you're in for a treat.
Okay, let's see how it compares to western food in America.
Are you ready to go eat some western food?
All right.
We've been checking out the menu.
Do you see anything that floats your boat?
Okay, I actually have more questions than answers.
Like I want to know what sizzling chicken spaghetti is?
I want to know what Shatin chicken is. What??
Shatin chicken. I don't even know what that is.
I want to know what cheese baked rice is.
Momma, this is your menu.
but it's all under western food and I have no clue what any of those things are.
One thing's for sure is we have to order one chicken chop, one lamb chop and a steak.
Okay.
Okay and then anything else you see like exciting that it's supposed to be American food.
Okay, western cheese baked rice.
I think I have to try that. Cheese baked rice.
Okay, we can do that. We can do that.
Dadda! Dadda, I want this one.
Which one?
That's cheese baked rice, baby. We'll get that for you.
Pink guava
No sugar? Yeah. Okay.
Zae Zae, apple juice for you
First impressions?
First impressions, this looks nothing like American food at all.
The fries I guess a little bit. I guess.
Kyren is demanding the fries right now.
But it's funny. I feel like even Americans cut their fries like...
Usually they don't give crinkle cut at steakhouse.
Usually they steak fries.
Usually you don't get sizzling plates unless you get something like fajitas
and usually the food doesn't come as hot.
Because in America the food gets cold really fast.
So all of this is looking very not American western.
But I haven't even eaten it yet. So we'll see.
So Rachel, this is western food in Malaysia.
If...
If there's not enough sauces for you, we got more.
A giant bottle of chilli sauce. A giant bottle of chilli sauce.
All right. Thanks for the plate. Thank you.
All right, so...
That's huge
You will never get chilli sauce with any food you order in America ever.
You might get Tabasco. Hot sauce. Sriracha, maybe?
All right, I'm gonna start with the chicken chop.
Is that cool? Okay, go ahead.
Let me get you some chilli sauce.
First impressions... Uh-huh.
It is absolutely delicious.
Is it really? I really like it. That one has mushroom sauce underneath.
I really like it. It does not have American flavor to it at all.
It's too flavorful.
It has very complex notes to it.
Dude, this is good. So good.
And usually mushroom sauce in America actually has like chunks of mushroom
and it's very different.
But it's really tasty. Like I would choose this over what you could order in America similarly.
What is ? I still don't know.
I really don't know.
Fried chicken with mushroom sauce would be very gross compared to this.
So for me, I tried the chicken chop, it's... it's okay.
For me, it's like I would say like slightly above average for my taste buds.
It's okay.
I do not like fries. The fries....
Is it bad? It's not good
Right?
It tastes like frozen.
Yeah. Store-bought ones that you just try to fry.
Mm-hmm. That's a good way to put it. Yeah.
As Rachel tried the lamb chop, this was like luxury for me growing up
and it would be like we'd get special we'll get a special...
Dadda! We'll get a special... Hold on, baby.
We'll get a special treat
whenever like I do good in school or something like that
we go eat lamb chop and that was my jam, right?
So I have high expectations for the lamb plus...
black pepper sauce. My favorite.
First impression though is that it doesn't look like lamb chop in America.
Lamb chop in America comes kind of like almost looks like ribs
What would you say? With the bones and everything. With the bones and everything.
And then also usually it's served with like a side of like something with a mint sauce.
This is black pepper sauce. Very different.
Usually it's dry. Very dry. There's no sauce all over it. Yes.
Yeah, so you have like the lamb chop separate and then usually like kind of a mint
and then I would say typically it's served with like roasted potatoes or mashed potatoes.
French fries, close enough.
Very not American taste again.
How do you like it, though?
I like it. I like it. I would say that...
I like the way lamb chop is...
Oh, you want some more? Okay, baby.
Kyren's eating over here.
I would say I like the way that lamb chop is actually better in America.
Oh, really?
I do. This is a little chewy for me.
I feel like how they cook it in America is a little bit...
more to my liking.
I like this a lot.
But the black pepper sauce is nice
So far this is a winner for me.
Like... I'm like...
Maybe for nostalgic reasons. Maybe.
But like it tastes so good.
Does it make you feel like you brought home a good report card?
Yeah, which rarely happened.
So you wanna know what cheesy baked rice is? This is it.
Okay, this is listed under Western food and...
I'm pretty sure you will not find cheesy baked rice anywhere on any menu.
Okay, let's see. Whoa!
The top actually looks like mac and cheese.
Wow, it looks like spaghetti.
It looks like spaghetti? No but yeah.
It looks like spaghetti cheese.
It looks like what?
Spaghetti cheese. Okay.
Okay, I got some cheese.
You know what's funny though, I've never had like cheesy baked rice here in Malaysia ever.
It smells divine but this does not look like anything you can get in America.
There's mushrooms in there.
Oh, really? Oh, yeah!
Look at the cheese. Look at the cheese, yo! Very cheesy.
It smells so good.
It's not so good. I haven't tried it.
It's very buttery. Yeah.
You know, what's funny the texture of the rice...
The texture of the rice is still like...
You know, like rice is not like 100% all the way cooked.
But it's still got like that little tiny like bite to it. That's what the texture is.
I like it, though.
It's very... It's very buttery. Very buttery and decadent.
Oh, man. I cannot... Like, I don't know if anyone could finish the whole thing.
I mean I'm pretty sure a lot of people can but like it's so rich.
Okay, so the steak. The quintessential...
American food. I want some french fries.
Here you go, baby.
French fries.
Quintessential American food. Let's get a bite.
What else? Steak is like you know American food
And tenderloin also cooked medium, apparently.
Did you ask for it cooked medium? Yeah. Yes.
So from the outside,
it definitely does not... I think it's overcooked already. I can see it.
But, we'll see.
Is it medium?
It's really hard to say. It's hard.
Yeah. I mean I would eat it to kind of determine but I can't really see anything in there.
Can you?
I don't see anything.
Yeah, so might be overcooked.
You want to try?
Yeah. Can you give me a piece? I'll cut it. Thank you.
All right. Thank you so much.
Okay, got a lot of sauce on there.
Again... Saucy. We don't really find saucy steaks.
We don't get sauce on anything.
No, everything is very dry.
It takes me a while to actually appreciate saucy food.
And again steaks look a little bit more proper, a little bit less sloppy.
But this smells divine.
It's black pepper, yeah?
You're going to be really disappointed.
Really disappointed? Okay.
Let's see how it measure up to American steak.
Why is it so chewy?
Not a fan at all.
The black pepper sauce overpowers the whole thing, but it is so chewy.
So like... Is that...
No, that's not how it's supposed to be. That's not how it's supposed to be.
It's really bad. It's really tough. 100% overcooked.
That's not medium at all. I should have asked like raw.
Maybe I would have got something edible.
Can we still have the cow moving?
No, that's not...
The sauce is pretty good, though.
I'll give them that.
The sauce I think it's overpowering for the cut of meat.
I think it's a little too... tangy
but it's still good.
I prefer that on my lamb.
I think that's bad.
And I'm a Malaysian, so that's bad.
It's not. I can do the chicken chop. I can do the lamb chop.
But that steak, no no no.
But honestly, I mean is it western food-ish?
Is it good?
Most of it.
Okay, so how many percent of western food is this?
Oh, gosh!
Is it actual western food?
No, I would say it's not.
Let's not say western food. Let's say American food. American food.
How many percentages of American food? Oh gosh.
Maybe like 15%. It's very low percentage American food.
Yup. Very very low percentage.
Here you have it, folks.
Can I have more chilli? Yes, you may.
He wants more chilli sauce.
There you have it, folks.
This is Malaysian food.
Not American food. Not western food.
Don't fool yourselves, all right?
You want western food but what you really want is Malaysian steak, right?
Let's be real.
But to be totally honest, I would 100% choose...
Malaysian Malaysian food over Malaysian Western food.
Every time. Same. Like I don't think I'm going to seek this out again.
I would. I would have the lamb chop. Would you? I like the...
I mean the chicken chop is fine. It's just...
I like the sauces. I really do.
I like... I do like a saucy steak or a saucy lamb or even chicken or whatever. I do like it.
I just wish the steak was cooked a bit better
Better luck next time.
Anyway guys, if you want like real western food or American food just come to America.
but if you want something that is like it, go to steakhouse in Klang or anywhere in Malaysia.
15% of it. 15%.You'll get a little taste. A little snippet.
But honestly, just go eat Malaysian food.
That's my advice.
I'm done. You're all done? Okay. He's all done.
You guys, thank you so much for watching.
We really appreciate all your love and support.
