Malaysian Cuisine: Making Sense of Southeast Asia's Most Complicated Food Culture(s)

Please "Like" if you enjoy the video, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications! - If you ask ten people in Kuala Lumpur, Penang or Johor Baru the question of "what is Malaysian food?" you might get ten different answers. In a vastly diverse country where the melting pot never melted, each village, district, or neighborhood might have its own distinct cuisine- from a dozen versions of Malay-Chinese, to the Mamak Malay-Indians, to the ethnic Malays themselves, and that's not even mentioning the countless tribes of Borneo; sixty percent of the Malaysian landmass in the provinces of Sabah and Sarawak. In this video, our goal is to find the common themes, to try the iconic specialties and to make sense of the concept of Malaysian food- whatever that actually means. - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going.   / otrontheroad   Website: http://www.OTRontheroad.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/otr.offther... - 0:00 - Introduction 1:20 - The Melting Pot that Never Melted 4:05 - Nasi Lemak 8:14 - Breakfast 10:10 - The Golden Peninsula 12:16 - Kopitiam 13:58 - Laksa and Beef Soup 19:34 - Malacca 21:04 - Curry 23:51 - Itik Salai Masthar 26:34 - Masak Lemak with Smoked Duck and Beef 31:20 - The Oldest Recipe 33:46 - Ikan Bakar Malacca 36:41 - Borneo 39:41 - The Best Meal We Didn't See Coming 44:10 - Linopot 49:54 - The Reason for the Problems 54:37 - Roti Canai 1:00:33 - Malaysia 1:02:26 - Bak Kut Teh 1:06:13 - Last Thoughts - Video Credits:    • Famous Deens Maju NASI KANDAR | Things to ...      • ASAM LAKSA | 7th Most Delicious Food In Th...      • Nasi Kerabu ASLI, Tak Pakai Pewarna Tiruan...      • Best Restaurant in Penang, Malaysia - 9 Mu...      • Ultimate Food Paradise! Malaysian Food Tou...      • Malaysia STREET FOOD Heaven!! 🇲🇾 27 Meals ...      • Malaysia Street Foods in Penang Island      • I Only Ate STREET FOOD for 24 Hours in VIE...      • BEST THAI STREETFOOD in CHIANG MAI (72hrs)      • Uncle Roger Review HIS NATIONAL DISH (ft. ...      • Jaclyn, Laurie, & Kate Leave The Resort | ...      • Zoolander 2001 - Kill the PM of Malaysia S...      • Wonders of Malaysia | Most Breathtaking Pl...      • Borneo Rainforest From Above | Dynamic Nat...      • Borneo Death Blow - Full Documentary      • The last nomads of Borneo | DW Documentary      • Kuala Lumpur's Little India: A Sensory Ove...      • 🇲🇾Chinatown Penang | Lebuh Penang Lebuh Ch...      • BEST ROOFTOP Bar in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾      • Johor Bahru’s World-Class Transformation: ...
