Well good morning good morning.
Today we are having a late breakfast.
It is probably close to ten in the morning and we're at a place called Old Town White
Coffee.
So we're going to be having Nasi Lemak which is one of the national dishes of Malaysia.
And it basically consists of rice cooked in coconut milk.
Steamed with coconut milk.
So that should be really tasty.
We've ordered two different varities.
Sam already has his white coffee here so he'll be having that.
And you have?
And I got I forget what I got.
Something with lime.
Lime juice?
Lime tea?
Lime juice?
I had a sip of it and it has a natural nice lime flavor.
Oh la lah.
So try that out.
Really sour.
That will wake you up in the morning.
Yeah.
So considering the name of this restaurant.
It is called OldTown White Coffee.
And the reason we're laughing is because I screwed this up on the previous clip.
It is called Old Town White Coffee and white coffee is basically it is a coffee that originated
from the city of Ipoh.
So if you're traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Penang you're going to pass along.
Probably pass thorugh there.
Yeah, you're going to pass along that it is on the west side of Malaysia.
Anyways um the coffee is really cool because it has condensed milk.
It is made with condensed milk.
Yeah, to sweeten it.
And it is a lighter roast as well.
Yeah, exactly.
You can even see that in the color.
It is a uniquely Malaysian coffee.
So let's try that.
Were you about to say Manilan?
It is a Manilan coffee!
It is a Manilin coffee.
No.
We are struggling this morning.
We've just woken up.
English words are not being spoken.
Yeah but at least your first language is Spanish.
I don't have a default language to fall back on.
When I'm not speaking English well there is nothing else to fall back on.
So anyways what I wanted to say it has a nice rich, frothy texture.
There we go.
You can definitely taste the condensed milk and you can also taste the sugar that has
been added in as well.
But yeah, it is a lighter roast and it doesn't have that strong like overpowering coffee
taste.
Bitterness.
Yeah, it doesn't have that bitterness and it is a little bit more palattable and it
goes down a little bit easier.
Yeah, so we have a bit of a funny situation on our hands.
What is that?
So we ordered two mains and dessert.
We were hoping the dessert would come after but it was the first thing to show up.
Haha.
And it is made with ice so this is going to start melting which means we have to eat it
first now.
In fact, it already is melting.
Yeah, look it is like soupy.
Um, so anyways this is Cendol and basically it is ice with coconut milk.
It has palm sugar which you can see in here.
Then this green stringy stuff.
It can be made from rice flour or mung bean.
We also have some rice balls here at the bottom.
Yeah, and this I'm not entirely sure.
Oh, this is probably the red bean paste.
Yeah that would be it.
Alright.
Okay, so let's grab.
And it is the best dessert slash drink that you can have in Malaysia to cool down.
Especially mid-afternoon when you're like dying of the heat and humidity.
Haha.
Mmmm.
When you're walking around.
That is really nice.
Is that nice?
Mmmm.
So refreshing isn't it?
So sweet and refreshing.
I even think this is like coconut cream.
It is not even milk.
It is so rich and thick.
Oh wow.
Good stuff huh?
And then the palm sugar.
Palm sugar.
I have to say I really like palm sugar.
Yeah.
We've been having a lot of desserts and they usually bring you like this miniature picture
filled with palm sugar and I just pour it all over my desserts so let's just go all
out.
Mmmmm.
Well, we're starting off with something sweet.
I can't say I mind really.
Dessert for breakfast.
Yeah, you know what?
We're that is not too much of a stretch for us.
We're the type of people that would eat dessert for breakfast.
We've been known to have cake for breakfast.
Oh yeah.
Cheesecake, cheesecake for breakfast.
Of course.
Why wouldn't you?
If it is available.
Hahaha.
What do you think?
You're right.
That is really good.
Yeah.
Really rich coconut taste which I love.
And then just the refreshingness of the ice and then all of the other ingredients.
I like the that there is some chewy components to it.
Like the beans and also the little green strips.
Those are really good.
I can't say I've ever had Cendol with the little rice balls.
That is something new.
And it kind of reminds me of the rice balls we would have in South Korea.
So yeah, this is really refreshing.
Really tasty and we do need to finish it before it melts.
Okay, so we got two different kinds of Nasi Lemak.
Yeah.
Sam, do you remember the name of yours?
I better say it quickly.
Ayam Masakamara.
And ayam means chicken.
Yes.
And it looks like it has a kind of a I'm guessing it might be a spicy kind of gravy on top of
it.
So I'm going to go for the chicken first.
That looks good.
I'll have a bite of that.
Oh.
Mmmm.
At first you think it is just really sweet with a lot of like uh ingredients and spices
but then it really hits you with the hot peppery spices as you're swallowing it.
Woah.
That is spicy.
And what else do you have on your plate?
So what else.
I have coconut milk rice.
So it is rice that has been cooked in coconut milk.
And that is really really tasty.
That is probably my favorite part of a Nasi Lemak.
Really good.
And then over here we have what appears to be some crackers.
So I'm just going to use it as a little spoon.
Mmmm.
This is nice and light.
Super light.
Not a strong taste there.
And then over here we have the sambal.
Sambal.
And that is supposed to be a spicy and sweet sauce.
We'll see how spicy it is.
It actually is.
Mmmmm.
That is really really good.
Yeah, it is spicy but it is really sweet too.
It is very very sweet.
Very rich in its taste.
And then cucumber.
To finish off we have some cucumber with it.
So yeah.
I think the classic is actually supposed to come with peanuts but maybe because we ordered
chicken they didn't put the peanuts in it.
Yeah, that is what I think.
I was hoping for those.
The roasted peanuts are really good.
I like those.
I know but the chicken is delicious though.
Oh yeah.
Alright my turn.
Okay, so I had initially ordered the tumeric chicken but they didn't have any!
It was gone.
So my backup plan was chicken curry.
Curried chicken.
How do you say it?
Chicken curry.
Curry chicken.
No, I think it was chicken curry.
Man, it is interchangeable.
The fat.
I don't like the fat.
There I like my meat lean.
So I'll get a bit of this.
I actually thought it would be kind of like diced chicken in a thick curry.
That is what I'm used to when I order curry.
Liked diced chicken breast.
I know.
Getting fancy.
Okay, so let's just grab a bit of everything.
Chicken, rice and sambal.
Mmmmm.
Is that good?
Wow.
The sauce kind of has a fishy flavor.
It does.
Yeah, it does.
Like anchovies.
I should have mentioned that.
Yeah.
I wasn't.
Definitely.
Woah.
Definitely anchovies.
This is hitting me right now.
And what is the other.
You have something else too?
Yeah.
That is different from ours.
It looks like it could be some potato wedges or something.
Let's see.
What is that?
It is potato.
Yeah.
It is like a boiled potato but I think then it has been pan-fried lightly to make it kind
of golden and crispy.
Yep.
So what do you think of the Nasi Lemak?
It is pretty good.
Yeah.
Do you like the coconut rice?
Mmmm.
I do.
Yeah.
That is my favorite part.
It is not like a super strong coconut flavor.
I'm not sure I'd notice on my own right away.
My taste buds aren't that refined.
But it is good.
And I've been eating this at the hotel for breakfast as well in the mornings and they
kind of have like the do it yourself thing where you can scoop out the rice yourself
grab some peanuts and anchovies.
The sambal.
The little veggies.
So it is a dish that I feel a bit familiar with.
Yeah, oh man but the sambal.
It is really hitting me today.
Yeah.
And the other thing we should point out is that you can have this anytime of day.
It is breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack or whatever.
It is readily available.
Um, it is so easy to find.
Basically pop into in fact most restaurants have it I would say.
Okay, so that was a big breakfast meal.
That is a really big breakfast.
If you're not that hungry you probably shouldn't order that.
That was a really big breakfast.
Anyways, in terms of price point that came to 42.90 Ringgit which is just under$10 US
dollars.
Nine something.
And yeah, that was for two drinks, two mains and a dessert.
So yeah.
And you can find this place inside the Central Market here in KL.
Yeah.
We probably didn't need the dessert for breakfast but you know that is just the way we roll.
Bloopers.
So considering the name of this restaurant.
It is called Old Time White.
What is it?
Old Town.
It is called Old Town.
Try that again.
White coffee.
And we're going to be having Nasi Lemak which is like one of the traditional breakfasts.
Break-fasts.
Breakfast.
We're going to be having Nasi Lemak.
Which is one of the traditional break-fasts.
Breakfasts.
It actually has a kind of a rich frothy flavor.
No.
It has a rich flothy.
Frothy.
Coffee has a rich frothy.
What do I call it rich frothy flavor.
