for those who don't know Malaysia well, every location in the video is situated in SS2, Petaling Jaya, a suburb in the Klang Valley which is about 25-30 minutes drive to the KL city centre.  All the places Sonny ate at are within walking distance of each other in a large square surrounded by plenty of restaurants around it.  SS2 is really a food haven and I've been going there for decades since my school days in the 80s.

3:19 Not a kumquat. It's actually a type of lime. In the US, they're called "Philippine Lime". Filipinos call them calamansi and in Malaysia, they're called kasturi.

I'm American, but Malaysia has been my home since 2003.

With regard to the "danger" of things like the blood cockles, I've learned during my time here that Americans are kinda uptight with regard to food safety. There are a lot of things here that most Americans would feel is unsafe. However, instances of food poisoning and other food-related injuries or illnesses don't seem more common here than they did during my 30+ years in the US.

That Durian shop showing a legit Malaysian durian hospitality. When he enters the shop he didn't even pick or buy the durian but the owner still picked one, opened & show it to him eventhough he wasn't sure sonny gonna buy it. Malaysia will always be the king of durian & durian hospitality. It a pleasure and proud moment that our people being the best hosts for durians! ❤️🇲🇾

Hey Sunny! I've been told that the Hainanese were mostly cooks employed by the British during colonial Malaya. That's why they have their own 'spin' to classic western takes. Unverified though! Glad you enjoyed your meals and selamat datang!

Sir, let me explain about the Hainanese Western Food.... it is not the case of  "somebody watched a lot of Hollywood movies which gives the ideas what the westerners eat"... the Malaysian western food has its own origin way back during the colonial era in the late 1800 until our independence   in 1950's
During that time a lot of Hainanese in Malaya worked as kitchen helper for the British officers or European planters or European tin miners.
The Brits and other Europeans taught all this Hainanese kitchen helper to cook some food that mimics the Europeans food by using local ingredients... thus came the existence of Chicken chop, chicken grill, lamb chop and bistik (beef steak) with homemade French fries...just like what you see
After we gain independence,  most of the Hainanese chef lost their job and they started to open their own coffee shops (kopitiam) and introduced these western foods to the public... since then the Malaysian style western foods has gone through a lot of changes with the touch of fusions...
Hopefully all westerners understands the origin of our style of western food. It is called western food  not because of our imagination but because of history....

Believe me, I can handle my noodle. I have 12 kids to prove it. I really miss Malaysia. Can't wait to go back. Best country I have ever visited, and I have travelled extensively. Met my wife there. ;)

You absolutely risked your life here, I can't imagine the fear you had when eating that cucumber.

Thanks for reviewing my godfather Sunny's stall and we are glad you enjoyed the Char Kuay Teow. 😊
Also, for fried oyster you should have ordered from Uncle Choy's stall (the one you ordered the stingray)
He makes one of the best fried oyster on the street.
The hainanese western food serves one of the best garlic sauce ever.
We hope you enjoyed our food in SS2!
You are always welcome again to our little part of the world. And thanks for the selfie the other night! Best Ever Food Review Show!
The queue you saw at the beginning was for Uncle Pao's nyonya mixed rice. He serves a variety of very good dishes and there is always a long queue at 4pm onwards. He is usually sold out by 8pm.

There's a lot more to try in the many other states in Malaysia Sonny! We hope you'll try em' all! And you're right, Malaysians are deadly serious about their durians!😂

13:48 It’s called chee cheong fun - pig intestine noodle. Looks like it too, but it’s just sheets of rice noodles rolled up and steamed them left like that instead of being cut up into strips.

Malaysia.  My home for 17 years.  I miss it so much.  One of the best places on the planet.

$100 is like RM460 for most of us malaysian that is our 1 month worth of grocery, so no way one can spend RM460 on street food alone, but great video as always, entertaining 🎉

“Hainanese” Western Food? 🤔

I used to laugh at that. It turns out due to Malaysia's colonial past, in the 19th century, Hainanese immigrants arrived for work and many Hainanese found themselves working in service roles such as cooks, waiters, and servants in hotels, restaurants, or wealthy European households. That exposure and adaption to ingredients available to them led to the creation of Hainanese western food.

If you and your team have plans to visit Penang Island aka Food Paradise of Malaysia. Will be more than honoured to host all of you bringing yall for the best food only locals will go! Also Penang is famous for our Char Koay Teow, you'll never eat else where anymore once you tried ours. All the best, Ahh Peace..

I've been there but stayed most of the time in KLCC. Every street food I put in my mouth made me wish I can stay much longer. And yes, Malaysian fried rice is better than Chinese fried rice in my opinion.

These sloppy street food burgers in Malaysia are so good!

Finally seeing Sonny back in Malaysia again. Thank you for reviewing my country's food. Here's to you hoping that you have a great experience in Malaysia.

In other countries, because of fresh sea food one dish would cost 45€ + tips, but in Malaysia with only 10€ you can feed a whole family and a neighbors if they join in.

For those who looking for cost in “RM”, (I round up the price higher BTW)

3:17 - Stingray = RM30.80
5:50 -Kue Tiaw = RM8
7:00 -egg with oyster = RM15
9:29 - Kerang and Rojak = RM10 + RM8 = RM18
13:13 - Young tau foo – RM12
15:23 – Burger Kambing – RM11
17:34 - Durian Kayangan-RM142

Total in RM = RM236.80

Durian is pure creamy heaven …. Nobody beats Malaysian durian
