Ready? No way.
Let's race? Let's see who gets there first?
-You know I will. -No, you won't.
[music]
It's 7:00 in the morning. This dark.
And we are already waiting for our train to Batu Caves.
We got a Grab car until the train station,
the one that seemed to be relatively closer to where we're staying.
It was about 15 minutes from KLCC until Putra.
Here we got the ticket. It's this token here.
You pay according to the distance.
It was RM 2.30 from here to Batu Caves, the end of the line.
The screens announced that the train was arriving,
that the train was here, and that the train left,
but there was no train at all.
And we don't know...
-Wait here? -Man: Yeah, yeah.
Oh, great. Thank you.
So, screens and trains are not coordinated.
The train was just late.
It is a very good train. Very silent and air-conditioned.
[Announcement] Last station - Batu Caves
Last station: Batu Caves
Thank you for using KTM Komuter
Trains every hour.
And then there's a gap here of two hours.
I want to catch the 10:18 am at the latest.
Yeah, the train station is basically in front of the caves.
We were in the very first train to here
because we wanted to arrive exactly like this, before the crowds.
This place gets really busy.
Also, it gets very hot during the day.
[music]
This is a limestone hill with five caves,
most feature temples and Hindu shrines
and there's one science-related.
But everyone comes here for this
It's the biggest statue in the world of Lord Murugan,
an important God in Hinduism.
He is the God of War.
And the main cave - Temple Cave - is located all the way up there.
-Ready? -No way.
Let's race? Let's see who gets there first?
-You know I will. -No, you won't.
[laughs]
To come here, you need to be properly dressed,
because this is a temple.
You have to wear pants that will cover your knees.
And also shirts that will not expose too much here
and also will cover your shoulders.
There are ladies inspecting there.
If you don't pass the test,
you gotta rent a scarf there for five ringgit
or buy something to cover up.
For men, there are lots of men here wearing shorts,
so that doesn't seem to be a problem.
Where are the monkeys?
Because there was supposed to have monkeys here, too, right?
-Oh, sleeping. -Too early for them?
-The crowds aren't here. -Yeah.
Okay, you only beat me because I let you.
Okay? Shoot the images first...
[laughs]
I let you take that
Uh-huh.
Everything for the vlog.
This rock formation is very impressive.
The steps are very steep.
But if you exercise regularly, you'll be fine.
And if you don't, you can stop along the way.
Lots of people do that.
You can also take pictures. There's a nice view.
So, you'll be fine.
When you come here and if you want to go inside the temples,
you got to take off your shoes
for this up here or the ones down there.
But the Hindus that come here for devotion,
they already climb all the steps bare feet.
[music]
Here the rocks are open up there.
Really beautiful.
[music]
Seeing that celebration was one of the highlights of the visit.
Something special to witness.
Just like during Thaipusam, that festival we showed in Singapore.
But she was the first woman I saw doing the sacrifice.
272 steps.
[music]
Now it's much busier.
But at least during the morning, it looks like the stairs are in the shade.
[music]
There are a few caves and temples, some are paid, some are free.
It's now 9:30 in the morning and it is so hot already.
And it's getting really busy, too.
On weekends, it tends to be even busier.
So, if you can, prefer a weekday to come here.
[music]
We wanted to try some authentic Malaysian food.
We came to this restaurant here to try roti canai.
It's actually a breakfast meal.
We didn't really have a proper breakfast today.
And actually now, it's way past lunchtime.
The good thing is that they serve this all day long.
We came here because they have a huge variety of roti dishes.
I didn't choose the conventional meal.
But, you know, we're going to try something with cheese
because I love cheese.
Wait a second, you're getting the big one?
No. I just want to be closer.
Okay
[Waiter] This one, roti; this one, naan
Okay, good
[Waiter]: Pan making, and this one, oven making
Okay, thank you.
This is good.
It is spicy. Just a little bit spicy.
There's cheese inside, it's so good.
I absolutely chose the right one.
This is a curry sauce. It's the flavor you expect, you know?
I'll try this one here now
Look at how delicious.
It comes with a few sauces.
Wow.
Ooh, it is so hot.
Mmm.
This is so good.
Also, right here, very famous tea.
It's called teh tarik. It's tea with condensed milk.
For tea lovers like me, it's a must when you come to Malaysia.
So, so, so, so good.
It is hot.
Outside, it is hot, too, but it is still worth it.
It's that good.
[music]
The Petronas Towers.
[music]
To say good-bye to Kuala Lumpur,
we have to come back to the most iconic place in town,
the Petronas Towers,
because, of course , we wanted to see them at night, too.
And it is so beautiful.
So many people had the same idea.
It is so crowded here, but it is very nice.
And, you know, because the Towers are really tall,
it is hard to capture both of them with a regular camera
or even with your cell phone.
There's no angle. Not enough space here.
There are a lot of street vendors here selling adapters,
a wide-angle lens adapter for your phone,
and that seems to work.
Big business here.
[music]
Do you wanna know why so many people come to this area here?
Because there's more going on in the park right behind the Petronas Towers.
This show happens every day.
Sometimes lights and music, sometimes just lights,
and it repeats throughout the evening.
[Gordon] Hello
A lot of work.
Kuala Lumpur is such a diverse city. Everything is so beautiful.
People are really friendly
and prices overall are amazing compared to Singapore.
Everything is so much cheaper.
Now, we'll visit a few more cities here in Malaysia
and that's what you'll see in the next videos.
We'll start with Putrajaya, the federal administrative capital.
So, see you there.
And it looks like it was even coordinated.
As soon as the show was over, the mosque started.
It's called 'roti ca...'
I ordered a break... [laughs]
The monkeys are here now
They're so smart, they only come to Batu Caves when it's full of tourists
Among the things forbidden on the train,
indecent behavior...
[music]
