Malaysia Is More Than Just Food
hello and welcome to iphone we are in ippo we're about to show you today in this video that this city is not only about food it's about culture and subculture as well so welcome and let's explore together the wonderful city of ipoh this lane is a historical lane you would see ladies here hiding in the houses because they were the concubine could you imagine so many ladies living here and offering their services to the workers from the tin mines like that's quite unbelievable now we have street food everywhere you can buy a lot of souvenirs it's a lot of different vibe than back then the old amsterdam exactly how did you put it this is the concubine lane and imagine back in the days on one side you would have ladies of the night trying to allure you to go inside and on the other side you maybe have had some obvious where people would do some shady business and this lane would have been mysterious and alluring at the same time but nowadays it kind of turned into a squid game pikachu dragon ball themed kind of a thing so you have only food and colors everywhere but here in one corner you have some interesting people hello hello i love your t-shirts ramones are one of my favorite bands yeah yes that's so cool and you have jimi hendrix on your t-shirt i'm having metallica wow so perfectly supporting the place that's so nice welcome thank you so much this is a rock bar or what is it we just finished oh i'm so sorry i cannot get you what kind of music are you playing blues oh blues is my favorite genre around 50 minutes later 50 minutes later okay i'm coming back for that for sure right because blues is my favorite genre ever yes and uh eric clapton is my favorite guitar player of all time so i have to listen to you guys all right ippo is the capital city of the malaysian state of perak it was initially a village that was built in the 1880s people came here because they discovered a lot of deposits for tin and now there is no more thin extraction but ippo is living out of uh the tourism income they receive from local tourists and from foreign tourists as well and this river is basically dividing the ipo city into you have the old part of the city here where we are right now and you have the new part of the city on the other side of the river where there was a fire back in the day and this is how the city was divided the old part of the city before the river was where the fire started and then they started rebuilding the city and then they expanded after the river so that's why that one is called the new city i know today i think maybe we're going to hang out most of the time in the old part of the city because it looks more interesting and more historical so so far i kind of like the city it's a bit rustic so i like it look we have a very nice mural over there depicting the white coffee the one that we had in the morning nothing better than a cup of black coffee in the morning keeps you up right for me it can be white coffee see it's like michael jackson you don't even matter if it's black or white gg i found a very nice like car drawing like an airbrush from malaysia club motorsports super crew shout out to perakro cool so you have uh a car scene also here apparently in uh ippo oh not bad cool together with the mural of the old man drinking the white coffee which is the symbol of the city for some reason i don't know exactly why i wonder though if they have new cars would they have also old cars because this being an old mining city you never know maybe we can find also some old cars as well what do you think that would be fantastic that would be fantastic really for sure okay let's go apparently this place is called old town white coffee let's go on this alley and continue our way towards the deep and inner side of the city now we are now in info old town and uh we're actually gonna cross through some some of the arches here that protect you from the rain whenever it's raining i love the local touch they they put a lot of vines here to cover and some umbrellas they're over there see oh yeah it's very colorful i like this kind of like vegetable mix with old architecture it's beautiful it's a natural shade from the sun so apparently i'm meeting a snowball in july okay never thought it was possible but apparently it is only in evo in our country we also eat snowballs but not the yellow ones yes you're not supposed to eat the yellow snow now we are eating this but now we're eating the yellow snow so frank's up up i'm sorry okay enough of the touristy kind of things around this concubine lane enough of the street food and all the colorful pikachus it's time to listen to some good music and try to eat time to enjoy some quality performance so i give to you ippo blues band i could oh nobody so thank you so much have a wonderful time thank you thank you amazing people thank you so much right all right let's go keyboard guys rock and roll everybody joining in the vibe here's jason we're here with him in his uh dessert shop let's call it where they make taopufa one of the beloved chinese desserts here in april the process is very simple with five simple steps but first of all we have to soak the beans then after that we're going to grind by this polishing so we're drying we'll proceed boiling the salmia and for how long do you boil it about depends on the size but usually it's less than 30 minutes less than 20 minutes okay so it goes from that big bowl when you're boiling it into a small bowl cleaning yes pouring inside the vinegar and how long does it have to stay like this it's about 20 minutes 20 minutes and after 20 minutes it's ready for eating yes really quick okay i'm curious now to try it because i never had to ever so let's see how it is okay sprinkle sprinkles fingers bring it down a little bit more a little bit more a little bit more yeah okay and now the last one are you blessed with me i'm accessing me yes now good sweet but good very good i'm not that much of a sweet kind of guy so it's good i like it the sesame seeds balance everything properly the original style the old style and now each of us have a different one i have the old traditional one the brown one and chili has the soy milky one which flower metal so you go yours i got mine okay three two one okay it's competition caramelly nice i like it sweet but a bit too sweet for me it tastes like rice milk in my country this one too i cannot distinguish between the beans and the rice kind of flavor you know i like the jiggly part but still all this sugary stuff excuse me but it's very delicate it's very delicate it's very smooth try mine and enjoy yours i think i like yours more i like mine okay interesting i think the dessert gods might have heard me and they gave me one which is not that sweet and apparently i'm supposed to try it without a spoon and slurp it in one go so let's see if i can three two one bottoms up yep a bit sweet but okay not bad for a dessert it's not that sweet as the breakfast beforehand which is kind of what i like so goes good with the food that we had before okay no more food now we can go and explore ippo without food you know guys i'm a sucker for street art and in the newer part of the city you have all this cool stuff on one side you have the murals with sailor moon and with the tourism and with some horses and some family on the other side you have a guy who's throwing a paper plane and on this side you have more of a modern kind of thing with graffiti and with a new school kind of a street art so perfect i mean ippo is a multicultural city where old style and new style and traditional kind of style and urban kind of lifestyle on the other side can all merge together into one multicultural pot that's cool yo guys we found the friend while walking around ippo we found some friends can you guys see what dj is showing you all the stylosaurus says this is this this is yes this is a green stevanos hours this is a bowl of white one a red one a blue one how much is for one adding it for three sending it for three and four one five four four four one okay i want one of course we need also one which one to get though i

fat i don't know i'm still thinking how do you call dumplings in malay tips and just like that night has arrived and we are here at this wonderful establishment at this hawker center which is called metro ipo and we're looking for a place to eat something something something for dinner and i think i have an idea of what i'm going to get let's see if we can find it here the eyes on this guy

frogs so did you are you ready i was born ready for getting frogs so this evening so now time to uh enjoy the frogs that were in the box that the guy had apparently here we get some forage to enjoy the frogs with one for gg thank you and one bowl for me and we have two kinds of frogs we have the gingery kind and the chili kind so i think for you gg you should start with the gingery guy i'm not very sure oh man this is hot uh let's go for frog we have one piece here and chocolate for me for holding the chopsticks wrong i wouldn't have noticed if he didn't say anything and frog is very good it's amazing i love it a bit spicy i don't know guys with the chili oh yes very good and the porridge is actually very good what do you think about the froggy it's good it's good the forage is amazing our frog tastes like chicken it's a softer chicken exactly that's why in romania we have them also we call them lake chicken or pawn chicken yeah but if you put this piece of meat in my plate i'm not gonna eat it this one yeah this one this just looks for like from another animal okay but it's good okay i've tried it's not my first time trying frog but it's my first time trying croco malaysia um
