So I thought in this video, we'll check
out Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur itself.
so the place is also known as 'Chee Cheong Kai' or 'Petaling Street,
Anyway, the good news is that Chinatown
is very accessible by train now.
And you can either take the MRT or the
LRT -  and get off at the Pasar Seni
Station and you're in Chinatown already.
I think you guys would have probably
guessed, right? We would have hit
Petaling Street at one point or another.
Couldn't avoid that. But from what
I've heard is that a lot has changed in this area because
they've done a quick revamp,
and they've got a lot of new blood
coming in, offering a lot of new food. So
I don't know. That's what I read on the
Internet anyway. so I'm actually quite
curious today. I just want to find out
So basically the whole idea is to really
encourage younger people to come out and
start their own business in trade.
Rather than letting them waste their
time trying to be YouTubers, or even
watching too much YouTube videos.
OK, you got your traditional stuff which is
all the jewelry, and all your clothes and
all that. Hey, you've got Bathing Ape too.
Check it out.
Maybe a giveaway for that, perhaps?
And this is the very popular Soya Bean
place, guys.
And I think it must be my lucky day,
because there's literally no queue.
So I'm gonna get me a drink now.
It's OK. It's OK for a hot day.
I don't know why I keep
choosing these times, man. It's so hot.
It's hot as hell. Let's go
Let's go find something to eat now.
I really like this one. This is just a
simple 'Apom'.
And you can literally just get
a few of these and walk around, and eat
and check out other food. So i'm gonna
get me one of these.
See? Simple....paper thin....and
very yummy.
It's like a Chinese sweet
cracker sort of thing.
Sort of a very delicate flavour.
Easy to eat.
I've always been very fascinated with this.
This is Dragon Beard Candy.
And that's a piece of honey he has in
his hand. So what he's gonna do is, he's
basically gonna mix it with flour,
and he's gonna pull it where it
basically looks like, 'string' and all. I'm not sure how he does
it. But what he's gonna do is, he's gonna
mix it with some crushed peanuts and
he's gonna just keep pulling this thing,
and he's gonna serve it in a small
bite-sized candies.
This is what the end-product looks
like, guys. Dragon Beard Candy.
Bite-size and with peanuts inside.
Chewy.
I think what's really interesting about
Petaling Street is that you can come
here any time of day, it is still
packed nevertheless. Irregardless, you
know.
OK, so this is something else that has
caught my attention. Basically the Leek
Pie.
Which looks a lot more like a pasty.
It's probably a Chinese Pasty of some sort.
Anyway, only one way to find out.
This is what the Leek Pie looks like. And
I kid you not, it's actually quite heavy
and dense.
so if someone tries to actually
rob you, you can literally hurl it at
that person and it's just going to
injure him.
The texture itself feels a bit like
it's very close to bread.
And there's obviously a lot of greens
inside. And I can see some egg.
And also it looks like a
noodle-like Vermicelli sort-of-thing.
Alright,  first taste.
It's got a lot of garlic.
It also has like, Vermicelli I think.
Noodles...and I think there's egg.
Hang on.
There are egg bits. So it's basically a deep-fried dough, right.
with flour and a lot of garlic,
eggs and Bee Hoon (Vermicelli).
Personally, I think this one is a
bit of a full meal.
I think it need some sort of sauce maybe.
Maybe a chilli sauce or something. Maybe they have it, I don't know.
It's 5:30pm now. All the shops are
fully-opened.
And I can tell you the crowd is really
coming in. And it is al- business from
here.
Mango. Marinated pickled-mango.
A lot of flavour. Thank you. With 'Assam'?
OK, so traditionally we see it with Guava. But this one they also have
it with Mango and and also with pineapple. Interesting. Thank you.
This one really caught my attention, guys.
This is basically a stall that sells
everything salted egg. OK,
so they've got salted egg prawns. They've
got salted egg chicken.
They've got their mushrooms and all that.
It almost feels like we've discovered
the holy grail or something.
I meant, we have got to try this, guys. Look
at this guy work.
I'm gonna go with the deep-fried salted
egg prawns because that
seems to be like the most popular thing
in the menu right now. It's quite a crowd
there. You can tell from the back.
It's quite a crowd.
I thought it was bigger.
These are shrimps, not really prawns. But
OK, let's try.
Beer snack.
This one made the
trip alone worth it.
These are quite interesting. Rice cakes
coated in
crushed peanuts and also black sesame.
OK, let's just give these a go.
What really attracted my attention was
the green one. So this is quite unusual.
I've not really tried this one.
I think it's green bean or green
peas. I'm not sure.
We'll find out.
I don't know about this one, guys.
Let's try the traditional peanut
version instead.
Call me old fashioned, but I'm gonna stick to the norm.
The taste is just ordinary.
I think what this thing does not have
going for it
is the texture, It's not that chewy
texture that you you expect it to
have.
It's more like that... I don't know.
It's just a bit squishy.
I guess you can't win them all, guys.
Let's try something else.
This one is OK, at best.
I think I want my money back.
The only reason I decided to try that was because it had the word 'Taiwan'.
And I've been so excited.
Because I read that it's going to be
like a whole Taiwan street and all.
So, definitely I think we can find better ones.
OK, so these guys were definitely
drawing a crowd. I mean the queue was
actually getting quite long. So I had to
go check them out.
so this is basically Fried Oysters.
Better known as 'Ho Chien'.
And look at the size of the oysters, guys.
These are huge.
Alright,  I think this one is worth
queuing up for.
Let's find out, guys.
I managed to get it at last. And
you know what? I actually
hardly line up for food. But really
excited about this one. Just looking at
the size of the oysters. Holy cow.
Let's find a spot now, get some water
and check out what this one is like.
So this is what i'm looking at, guys.
The 'Ho Chien'
it's kind of big. Well actually
it was a lot bigger just now when they were
frying. I think it shrank.
And i'm pretty sure these guys didn't
swap it because I was there all
the time.
I was literally just lining up waiting
for these guys.
You know what, let's not
talk too much.
Try! Try Try!
OK,  first taste.
It's actually not bad. I like it. And i
can't stop eating, man. This is actually
quite nice. And it's got that
slight burnt taste.
Call me weird, but that slight burnt
taste that I like.
So I think this one would actually
elevate the taste.
Here you go. Bring on the heat.
OK, start with this first.
OK,  let's go.
Better.
Very spicy.
OK, maybe not too much of this chilli.
Because I think if you put too much of
the chili, it kind of
manipulates the taste a bit too much.
It doesn't compliment it per-se.
If today's episode was a comparison.
I think it's a very
close tie between the
salted egg prawns that I had, and the
'Hor Chien'.
This 'Hor Chien' has got standards. I like it.
This is good, guys. I think you should
come down and try this one.
And it's not like some places where you
go to. You know where you can barely
taste the oyster.
And they give you like really small
pieces that...come on.
This one is worth the money.
That 'Hor Chien' just now was really good.
I think that one tops a lot of
the 'Hor Chiens' out there -  in KL
and PJ, to me. By my standards by Tummy
Trails TV standards.
If you ask me, the best way
to actually describe Petaing Street is
'Chaotic' - for sure. But at the same time
it's also quite organized, in its own
respect.
So I guess if you ask me to describe
Petaling Street in one word - the
word is 'Chaotic'.
If you ask me to describe Petaling Street in two
words,  it's 'Organised Chaos'.
Which sounds a bit of like an oxymoron.
But it is what it is, guys.
So I think
it's time to walk off some of the food
that we ate. I want to take you guys to
another tourist attraction that's just around
the corner. You're gonna like this place.
OK, so here we are, Jalan Panggong.
And this place is actually quite interesting
because it has a fair bit of
history behind it.
So this place is also known as 'Kwai Chai Hong'.
In the old days this was basically a
notorious place where a lot of vice was
happening. I don't want to get into the
details. But today
it is a very Instagrammable place.
Lots of young people hanging out, taking
pictures and all that.
So this place is definitely worth
checking out. I mean the artwork on the
wall.
You can definitely appreciate it.
I mean, take a closer look at this one.
What's this one supposed to be?
What the hell?
OK,  it's a barber's chair.
I actually thought it was like an electric chair or something.
Sorry guys. And I think there's like a
bar or a restaurant here in this alley.
Hang on. Let's go find out.
OK,  it's some sort of
coffee joint or a bar. Hang on.
I think it's a bar. And in case
you plan to visit this place,
the name of it is called 'The Concubine'.
So I hope you guys enjoyed the tour around Petaling Street.
And also checking out concubines for the day.
I'm stuffed and it's dark, and I want to
head home. As usual, we've got more
videos coming
up. If you enjoyed watching today's video

And I will see you in the next one. Ciao.
