today we are going grocery shopping in
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
[Music]
I have brought you with me here to the
Village Grocers to do my weekly grocery
shop because as part of my living life
in Kuala Lumpur series I thought this
one would be a great idea to show you
exactly how much money you can get for
your book shopping in Malaysia and
whether it's cheap or expensive to go
food shopping in Kuala Lumpur let's go
shopping
[Music]
I love coming to this little butcher
section as well to get a very good
steaks and lamb I'm actually gonna grab
two so for this strip loin steak it was
only 19 ring at 82. I'll put the
conversions here but it is only 0.16 kg
so it is a small one but I feel like
that's a bargain and we have that like
three times a week so the cheaper the
better
foreign
s in the whole Supermarket this is the
tin section and this might sound really
stupid but when I say that they sell
Heinz beans in the supermarket I feel
right at home though for this 110 it is
a 5 ring at 50 which is actually quite
expensive back in the UK you can
definitely get maybe not Heinz Park but
you can get like a cheaper alternative
pack for like a pack of four for like
one pound fifty yeah something like that
so it is like over a pound per
um tin but definitely add that to my
basket thank you very much are you
really in Asia if you don't have pretty
much half an aisle actually pretty much
the whole aisle for instant noodles oh
my god there actually are some instant
noodles that I need to get for a future
video I'm gonna try these Maggie hot cup
noodles everybody's been telling me to
try them oh that nearly fell everybody's
been telling me to try these and the
price for this is two ring at 20. it's
so cheap
[Music]
if you've never been to Malaysia before
I'm going to break it to you right here
right now alcohol in Malaysia is damn
expensive although if you're coming from
a Western Country it's probably about
the same but if you are coming from
somewhere else in Southeast Asia such as
Thailand where you can get a beer that's
cheaper than water this is actually a
lot more expensive than those kind of
countries for this pack of six tiger
beers which are cans so they're 320 mil
this is 41 ring at 65. 41 ring at 65 for
a pack of six I mean I've become so
accustomed to that now let me know in
the comments do you think that's
expensive okay so then before this a
pack of four Heineken it is 33 ring at
19 for this I think the tax on the
alcohol is high in Malaysia and
obviously because they're imported
I don't know I think that's the reason
why the alcohol is a lot more expensive
in Malaysia than other countries I mean
for me I feel like that's actually not
too bad but maybe I'm just used to the
price now
[Music]
again the milk here in Malaysia is
pretty much all imported every brand is
like Australian I can't see any like
Malaysian branded milk here so this is
the milk I always get and it is nine
Ringgit 45 but the cheapest one is only
like seven ring or something so nine
ring at 45
and the milk's actually really really
good this one is good I'm from the UK I
am no expert when it comes to Rice I
actually don't need rice but I wanted to
show you in the supermarket they have
like all different types of rice I don't
even know what half of it means but I
did notice that they have these massive
bags of rice that would literally keep
you going for the longest time and the
average price is between like 30 to 50
Ringgit for a massive bag of rice I feel
like this is one of them where it's like
tell me British about telling me British
we love cereal we do but one thing that
is a little bit annoying about the
supermarkets that I visited in Malaysia
is that my favorite cereal is really
expensive I mean in the UK it's not the
cheapest but look at this right so for
this box of Special K 30 ring it
90 cents 30 ring at 90 cents
for that that you're probably gonna
get like a few bowls out of I just
thought that's really expensive cereal
this pound a cereal
yeah put that one back
let's talk about toiletries in Malaysia
I mean I don't know about you but back
in the UK we have like average size
shampoo conditioner and shower gel but
in Malaysia everything in a full body
wash and shampoo tends to be like this
size I actually struggled to find
something a little bit smaller which is
fine for me because that will actually
last as like the whole month but yeah I
just thought that was a really
interesting observation everything is
just in like massive bottles
um could be a pro could be a pecan I
guess it depends but for example this
huge bottle of shower gel is a 15
Ringgit 90. and as far as I can see
that is actually the cheapest uh shower
gel that I can see here
[Music]
of course you can't come to a
supermarket without looking some
vegetables but you know one veg that
I've found to be kind of expensive here
is this good little bobcore here
broccoli which I absolutely love but
because they package it I don't know why
they put it in uh in plastic it's kind
of ridiculous really and then but um
yeah this is 10 ringing for a broccoli
I might just be in Thai but I feel like
that's expensive for broccoli
I don't know again anyway
[Music]
right I've got everything I need it's
time to pay I'll catch up with you when
I get back home
[Music]
so I'm back home I've unpacked all of
the shopping and the grand total for all
that food that I bought was 210 Ringgit
90. which isn't too bad I've got there
like three maybe four days worth of
meals obviously Village grocer is the
one that I go to but I'm sure there are
lots of other supermarkets that maybe
are cheaper this is the one I go to and
yeah I'm always happy with what I get
but just while we're here I do want to
let you know about a new platform I have
just joined called Nunu so Nunu is kind
of a new platform for creators to create
content to allow Their audience to have
more involvement on what they do what
they eat what they see all that kind of
stuff so I post on Nunu two maybe three
times a week posting things such as
should I eat X or should I eat why and
then you guys can vote and tell me what
you want me to eat I'm gonna post some
more things about traveling countries do
you want me to go here or do you want me
to go there so if you'd like more order
to say on what I get up to particularly
whilst I'm here in Kuala Lumpur then
head over to my new new profile I have a
link in the description box below go
check it out go vote on the poll and let
me know what you'd like me to do see eat
all that kind of stuff thank you so much
