PERFECT DAY IN KUALA LUMPUR BATU CAVES, STREET FOOD & WATERFALLS (MALAYSIA)
hello everyone it's day two here from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and we've just arrived at Batu Caves so this is one of the main sites that we wanted to see around Kuala Lumpur and it's quite close to the center of Kuala Lumpur it was about 20 minutes and how much did the ride cost 18 Ringgit ring it yeah Carol always forgets the currency yeah anything I think it's less than four dollars very affordable yeah very affordable and that's a grab they don't have Uber here right only grab and this is it already so look at this you won't expect to find a place like this just 20 minutes outside of the downtown area and yeah that's the iconic statue there that I've seen in many photos it's funny that they have this huge Limestone Mountain out of nowhere yeah out of nowhere we were driving here and we didn't see any other Mountain around so I think it's only this part maybe yeah bizarre quite big too so the power in right now we haven't actually paid to come here I guess we have to pay over there at the entrance so this Temple you're gonna see a lot of monkeys get in the Coconuts it is a Hindu temple so yeah you have the Hindu Godzilla Ganesh that's one of the only gods that I know really I need to get more familiar with the other gods nice and colorful if so I don't know if it's like a temple or something super colorful Carol we thought Nepal had a lot of pigeons yeah I think here they have more of them thank you so we head in inside now gonna be a bit of a workout in this humidity got those stairs and I just read that that statue is 43 meters high I think it's quite recent like 2006 they built it and the statue is of Lord murugan I think in other countries they might say a different name for that Lord It's a god of Victory and War and it's especially famous with the Tamil people from Tamil Nadu in India so I guess a lot of the Indians that are here in Malaysia were from the state of Tamil Nadu so it looks like we don't actually have to pay anything right no no we were expecting to have a ticket counter or something here but nothing yeah we thought this was a ticket place but it wasn't it's just a few shops just an entrance I like how the stairs are all colorful though I think in the past they weren't actually painted I think this is quite recent does make it look cooler though maybe we should have bought water yeah it's very steep yeah it is quite steep look at this for a cave entrance absolutely massive for the the ceiling some water dripping down here not sure what I was expecting but I didn't expect a big space like this no I think it's probably the biggest kitchen yeah it might be right yeah this is the biggest cave we've been in by far I think huge open area so all around the cave you have different little like shrines with uh statues all along the walls got a temple looking structure here some more statutes too foreign so even inside the cave there's some more stairs here lead into some other areas there's like some hens and roosters in here didn't expect to see those guys around here as well okay those guys so this part's pretty cool because all of a sudden there's like a hole at the top of the cave open area so I think this is as far as it goes there's another sort of uh Temple or Shrine here whatever that is it's cool though because now we're in the light because of the hole so you can see it really clearly I think there's not that many people in Malaysia traveling right now because everywhere we go is quite empty right yeah I think we see some people that are living here and now they're like doing business like expats experts yes but Travelers Not a lot yeah that's why this place is basically empty I think catch some excuse me I think during many periods this place would be absolutely packed unusual formations aren't they like that one there thin this part looks the coolest here got like these rocks dangling down bizarre and I think through here it's just another little sort of shrine laughs foreign so we've come to a food court here right in front of the battle caves got a few different options and here the noodles are really popular in Malaysia so I got one called mihon Goreng and carols is migoreng yes I think I think that's how I see it almost the same name okay so yours is like thicker noodles I think yeah and yours is rice rice noodles yeah so mine are like really thin I don't know what's in there there's some veggies some tofu I think and they also got this like they have in the Philippines like a little calamansi I think I don't know what they call it here and then I also got a plain Lassie so that was six and kind of went for the Coca-Cola 250. it's good yeah spicy and spicy what is the sauce is that soy sauce yeah it is but not much yeah only a little bit of vegetables foreign so we just got in I grabbed about 15-20 minutes and we come to a spot here called kanjing kanjing waterfalls and we had to pay eight per person to come in here the seven waterfalls but the only problem is it shuts in an hour so we've only got an hour and the guy said it would take about an hour to get to the seventh waterfall so we can't go all the way to the seventh but he said that we should be able to go to the fourth at least so yeah we're just walking there now so this is what's so cool about Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur that within about 30 minutes from the center you can come to a spot like this completely in the thick jungle not many capitals where you can find a place like this so so close so it's a bit of a dirt path down to this one luckily it hasn't rained so it's not slippery I can tell that this would be real slippy wouldn't it yeah that is steep I need a hand so we think that this is waterfall number one looks like a nice one just a small area though there's one over here that looks a bit bigger yeah this is waterfall number two well not this one that one over there really cool ah more monkeys man monkeys everywhere in Malaysia oh that's a big guy that's really cool it's almost like two different waterfalls absolutely beautiful can I pass here all right how to cross to the next one without being attacked excuse me guys get out of the way come on that's the thing you never know with monkeys right they can be aggressive yeah from water is red on the the reviews of this place these monkeys here they're a bit aggressive and they're not afraid of humans so I think they're all stealing food of the bikinis and stuff like that yeah we saw them iron up that guy's picnic over there yeah Mickey monkeys man there's loads though look they're on this pathway as well all right you can go first this time go you can get attacked and this place probably the most monkeys that I've ever seen but absolutely everywhere look they're all around here they were drinking water from here this one here they were Silly from the guy oh really yeah and this right here is the third waterfall so once again a really beautiful one more swimming areas in this one to cool down you didn't bring any swimwear though did you yeah so I just came like this no bikini yeah well there's nobody here in bikini so I don't think it is okay by the looks of it foreign when I checked online it seems like it's just this humid all year round I don't even think it ever gets that cool really so now we're on the top of that third waterfall fit some pretty good use come up there and I think this is a final waterfall that we can go to with the time limit that we have anyway ah no monkeys up here finally I think that's the highest waterfall we've seen so far pretty cool how close they are yeah between them yeah it is steep to get to some of them that's why we are very sweaty right now and I think in 20 minutes you can see all four they're right next to each other so this one's just flowing straight into that third one down there very close is it cold but not like freezing just cold enough like a nice amount yeah oh yeah yeah so this is probably going to be the first place of many waterfalls that we see here in Malaysia but a good place to start a good introduction to Malaysian waterfalls beautiful still reminds me of the Amazon light we said yesterday although funnily enough we barely saw any monkeys in the Amazon when we went they're over there now up to no good it was funny I saw one of the monkeys eating a chicken wing so so somebody definitely got their picnic stolen all right so we're in bukit pintang now which we filmed in yesterday's video but we filmed it during the day so now we're gonna check out Malaysia during the night and we're at that area where we went to the shopping mall this shopping mall here and yeah it's just as Lively as it was during the day maybe even more likely right yeah and the lights are very bright yeah it looks really cool now with all the lights everywhere so we only came here to go to a mall so Carol could find some curly hair cream no look no luck once again so now we're gonna check out uh food Street that's around here a very popular food street so this area also looks pretty cool here reminds me of Las Vegas when we drove here from the airport we drove through this part and me and Carol both thought it was like Las Vegas very Lively just lights everywhere here comes the happiest Shopper what did you get some blouses expensive or no it was like eight dollars each oh yeah all right let's get some food yeah I'm starving yeah some live music over here so probably check that out wouldn't you believe foreign so right next to that area where the music was playing is the food street that we wanted to come to right here it's called Jalan Alor I think Jalan means Street in Malaysia it's already got loads of unusual looking vegetables look at that red one there very very strong smell of durian yeah that's it right yeah look at this oh what is that so I think normally it is more lively here it's pretty dead at the moment but in general Kuala lumpur's been very quiet as we've been traveling around so I guess that's why I've seen this place in a video before and like all this was packed the thing over here you got loads of seafood some sort of food on sticks over there can't really work out what it is oh this spots are a lot busier I think we were just at the start of the street before so even here there's music foreign got some juices or smoothies they got a bit of everything here everything you can eat and drink oh check this guy out smoking all right so we've stopped at this barbecue place where they have a bit of everything they even have like vegetables here on the skewer and I just got some food here I got crocodile uh chicken and lamb I think each stick has a color yeah over there has the price for each color black is five I think crocodile is five I don't know how much so this was 13 overall and this is the crocodile that I've never had before it tastes like chicken to me oh but they got a really nice sauce on it oh yeah yeah whatever sauce they put on this is absolutely delicious yeah it's hard to see what the meat tastes like because I'm just tasting all the the sauce and whatever spices they put on really nice though maybe they saw you chicken yeah and just said it was crocodile I think it is crocodile oh yeah and show them over there they have a frogs we'll try that later on I've never I've never eaten frog before I might order a frogland so now we're going for the frog look at that front look at the size of that frog it's heavy too I thought it was going to be like a tiny little frog or something no no a monster truck how do I even eat this once again to me it just tastes like chicken really yeah even the texture is like chicken it's good though chubby frog legs yeah yeah lots of meat on them working out yeah oh and this was um 20. so just this was more expensive than all the others but probably the same amount of meat overall it's so big like a specialty I guess as well so this is the other style that the place has where I ate so the Frog was just down there but if like octopus yeah some oysters I'm not even sure what a lot of this stuff is like what is that I could have a sweet corn thank you so we've come to one of the Thai restaurants for karachui for some reason like half of the places to eat here are Thai Thai food not sure why Thai food so popular here we still have other things though that's like Chinese there Korea Tapas Korean food what are you doing again then I think go ahead I'll have fried fish with sweet and sour sauce okay how much is that I don't know they have three different sizes I will get the smaller one with I think 50 50. yeah yeah and I'm still a bit hungry so I might try the mango sticky rice never actually tried that before very popular in Thailand one thing's for certain Carol's not gonna be hungry after that look at the size of the fish look at the size of that face as well yeah I think that's for two people not just one two people could eat that and here's my uh sticky rice mango whatever they call it so it's really interesting I don't know how we've never tried it before because we've been to Thailand I thought the rice would be in pieces but it really is sticky rice it's just one big piece of rice and it's like a coconut cream or something on it it's really tasty is that like sour sweet and sour sauce or something whole pieces here and carrots yeah I think they do that in Thailand though don't they they mix like some fruits and some vegetables yeah yeah I'm very good you can taste a lot of the sauce you can tell when it's kind of fresh so that's good so we just left that food Street and right next to it is what appears to be like the party Street so over here there's just bars these are all bars I don't think any of them are restaurants are they so all bars and clubs oh yeah they have the football or soccer or whatever you want to call it so that's going to be it for this video we're just heading back to our place now and that's it from Kuala Lumpur as well because tomorrow we're gonna head to Penang which is another famous touristic destination here in Malaysia yeah we just really like Kuala Lumpur I think we like that it's like the mix of City jungle right yeah you can have like nature places to visit and to relax and you also have the Lively and noisy part of being in a big city but it's nice like you have everything like malls and all sorts of restaurants parties parties everything yeah a bit of everything so definitely a really awesome Capital so as I mentioned the next video will be from Penang so stay tuned for that if you like this one just drop a like to support us subscribe to see more videos like this and we'll see you around
