all showing you the same places Kuala Lumpur Melaka langkawi Penang but we are going on a two-day trip starting in Kuala Lumpur heading south along the east coast and at the end I'm going to show you one of my favorite spots in all of Malaysia so how is traveling on the last tour is the east coast of Malaysia will it be struggling join me and let's go excuse me do we have ice cream you have ice cream yeah oh okay hello what flavors do you have a cup okay this one or do I get a cone oh this one the cone oh we have green green uh that's the regular cone color the one that I know but this one is a green cone this one this one please maybe the taste is maybe like a matcha taste or something yeah oh okay let's see what Treasures he has in here ah oh it's all mixed colors mixed flavors uh what flavor is this vanilla manga chocolate okay not sure but it looks delicious oh okay but I'm putting it three one two three three okay I understand correctly figuring it okay okay I have five ring

thank you thank you very much thank you oh nice let's give it a try check out how big it is here and The Cone actually is it's green and looks pretty nice wow okay [Music] you want to say hello you want to say hello to the Vlog hi hello what is your name my name is Kim what's your YouTube My YouTubers can abroad can it brought oh the ice is melting so fast check it out oh my God delicious what is the name of this place ice cream ice cream no no the name of this place you want to race oh you go racing I'm not going to waste the teenagers here in Malaysia okay let's give the cone a proper try and see if it tastes any different yeah yeah maybe there's a slight matcha flavor to it but nobody's sure maybe not yeah I mean what a beautiful road to drive on you have the blue ocean on the left here actually there's also a proper main road over there but I prefer this road to be honest I'm not in a rush so rather enjoying driving a little bit slower on this road than over there on the main road wow all along the coast you can find these beautiful beaches basically empty some people some locals are chilling in the shade of the trees right there but other than that it's pretty empty here and the beach quality is of course not comparable with the beaches we saw in the previous video on for Hampton Islands but I would say it's still pretty okay here I'm definitely a beautiful scenery for a road trip basically riding right next to the ocean next to the beaches the whole journey along the coast here and I have a new friend this cat is following me hello are you living here on the beach you want some water [Music] let's see I don't have any food with me but maybe she's thirsty yeah look she's following me the whole time let's see if I can give her some water where's my bottle right here you want water maybe I can come here I have water for you here we go yeah she is thirsty okay all right [Music] okay time to get some lunch and yeah there's something that you need to try when you are traveling on the east coast of Malaysia something that's very popular here and there is and if I remember correctly that's like a fish sausage hello I would like to eat some Croley yeah that's okay I can sit over there you make fresh now right and I mix half huh okay can I get two fried and two steamed yeah and yeah I think it's like like a fish sausage and it's very popular for the east coast of Malaysia you can to be honest I I found the stall selling propoleco every few hundred meters along the road you can you can find it everywhere here it's a fish sausage right so yeah okay okay and fish okay and the sauce yes original meat your special sauce Special Sauce yeah okay we have something to drink as well then water okay that's fine okay okay so we have the steam version here already here as far as I know like every state or every Province here has their own way of making the sausage you may remember in the previous episode I tried one of these while I was on Pantheon Island and that one tasted really good and they told me it's very different compared to the gropo Lego I found here in teragano so let's give it a try maybe plain first without the sauce way fishier than the the version I had on the Hampton Island let's keep it in right there sauces like like a sweet chili sauce it is definitely a kick to it a little spicy kick actually not bad actually not bad where are you from I'm from Germany hello yeah travel yeah yeah I travel from Kuala Lumpur many days many days yeah yeah not not in one day the sauce is really good it's not an original it's like a sweet chili sauce chili sauce sweet a little bit sweet a little bit spicy really good sauce and here the sausage gets fried in the oil here actually they're the same sausage but you fry it or they're the different sausage uh the thin sources from the machine are the same and then yeah I still get that yeah yeah and then before okay so it's not a different type the same type okay okay but from the uh okay let's have a look how they actually uh make the sausage here I'm curious to see so it's freshly made here hungry oh yes okay that's okay you cannot go there I cannot go there that's the the secret place over there no no no no problem oh she's rolling it here with the hands and then you get the little sausages right here how many of them do you [Music] do it 200 kilos in one day wow it's wet oh it's red shoes so I can have a look but not good I thought maybe that's where you make your secret sauce ah it's just the yeah the floor is red over there it's only for the front for the fried chicken that's only the fried the machine and then go in here get steamed oh and then over there selling okay now I understand the whole system okay okay thank you very much for showing me but that was very interesting to see my cousin thank you thank you that's already okay curious to try it now you can try okay a little bit texture yes I will wait I'll finish this first okay okay by now the sausages here have cooled down a little bit so let's try the fried version but I would say the taste is not that different I would say you can even eat this if you're not a fish lover at all if you don't like fish the taste of this is not really fishy at all protection by the way is comparable with the texture of chicken McNuggets and McDonald's I'm sure most of you have tried chicken nuggets and McDonald's so the texture is very very similar very comparable very snack happy that I found it here what is the name of your shop here almost the same wow how much do you get chewing it only okay okay thank you very much bye bye bye-bye all right that was a nice stop here great little snack okay according to Google Maps it's 28 minutes from here my navigation system is in Germany that means Drive Southeast okay let's go and I made it to Kuala tiranganu which is going to be our stop for one night before we then continue tomorrow and yeah behind me you can see the iconic Bridge here of Kuala tiranganu it's a really beautiful bridge I have to say and actually I have a picture of myself in front of this bridge which was taken over there during the Malaysian Independence Day in 2020s or three years ago [Music] hello hello good afternoon all about quick room tour I think I'm paying 120 Ringgit here for the night I have a twin room they don't have a double room available for tonight anymore but only for one night so that's totally all right unfortunately I don't really have a nice view they are fully booked today so no better view available but uh yeah it's gonna be all right a little desk right here and then the bathroom actually looks super nice as well and nothing to complain about and I have stayed at this hotel before about three years ago and this hotel is also recommended in my Malaysia travel guide ebook and yeah I'm going to spend the evening right here now chilling relaxing a little bit and watching some videos and actually I want to watch highlights of the German Football Bundesliga but as usual the video is not available to watch and yeah that actually happens quite a lot when I'm traveling that certain type of content is not available to watch in the country that I am in but I also have a solution for that something that I can recommend to anyone especially if you are traveling a lot and that is surfsharkvpn with the help of a VPN service you can virtually change the location of your phone or your laptop to basically anywhere in the world so I am just making one click now and then I'm virtually back in Germany and suddenly the video

information your private data becomes safer which is especially important for me when I am traveling and I'm connected to a lot of public Wi-Fi's or hotel Wi-Fi's of which I'm not sure how safe they are and personally I am using surfsharkvpn for almost two years now I can highly recommend them it is the only VPN to offer one account for unlimited devices and if you want to check them out as well

great here I had a room with plenty of aircon units right outside of my window and these aircon units can be very noisy and I don't even use my aircon in the night so my aircon unit wasn't making any noise but all the rooms around me use their aircon all night so it was very noisy all night unfortunately the hotel was fully booked so I couldn't change to another room so yeah my sleep wasn't the best and yet today is actually going to be the longest day on the road since I started this road trip about two weeks ago in order to get to one of my favorite places and all of Malaysia I have to drive according to Google Maps uh about four hours three hours and 50 but that's if you're going straight with no brakes and you know I'm going to make breaks here and there so I guess it will be like five to six hours on the road today but I'm looking forward to that let's go all right let's leave Kuala teranganu actually a city that first time coming here definitely was staying a few days I I spent I think around two weeks here already in 2020 so that's why I'm not spending more time again this time if it's your first time coming here I recommend to stay at least a couple of days okay I'm at the gas station now and do you remember one of the previous videos where I learned that in Malaysia you have to pay first and then you fill up the gas hello uh I don't know how much I need I want a full tank maybe five fingers because I'm confused like if I paid first but I don't know how much it cost to fill up a full tank okay thank you I pay here okay there yeah okay Malaysian gas station so confusing do you see how the guy there is wearing his jacket like in front of him I still don't understand why people do that but it's it's like typical Malaysian style for me I see that so often here in Malaysia I think they are doing that because they want to avoid the the sun on there on their arms probably do you know what I love about riding a motorcycle in Asia you can always sneak through the traffic to get in front of the line you can't do that in Germany it's not allowed in Germany Nobody Does it in Germany but in Asia you can always just skip all the cars and be first in line I love that can't do that in Germany but in Asia and every Asian country that I've been through you you see that so not only in Malaysia also Thailand Vietnam the Philippines everywhere yeah I used to have a scooter similar like this one as well when I was younger in Germany so for a few years in Germany when I was like 18 19 years old the car was too expensive for me so I was riding a small scooter like this for several years in Germany Wow have a look at this road that is absolutely beautiful and over there is the ocean and there's another Beach I think so I'm like one hour into the journey now time for the first break and I'm hoping that it's a beach again where I can find some drink and food stalls but I think that might be not the case hello you have a menu okay okay what do you have here tea they open and this one ice cream soda but you need to mix this with water right okay yeah okay let's try the tea right here a little bit ice even and we have the ocean over there in the background and a little cat coaching hello I actually see a lot of cats around the area here during it okay chewing it little snack right here little drink not snake oh very good oh set up set up oh yeah plastic bag here [Music] thank you very much I think it's a regular just a sweet sweet black tea but a cool version of course foreign I can go ah okay let's have a look at the beach here yeah this is of course not a not a tourist Beach no beach for vacations just a random beach in a village here actually not bad I mean of course the Visa is not not high quality white sand also some some rubbish here and there which is actually sad to see but good enough to get a little wind blowing into your face oh a little refreshment also we have some clouds so the sun is not the sun is not as strong as the past days actually at the moment pretty nice I like it what is the local word for beautiful thing I learned that before but I forgot uh the beach is beautiful very nice chantic that was the world I was looking for Chantix means beautiful oh yeah yeah can I sit here yeah bully sit down yeah okay let's make a proper break here how many people live here oh maybe yep that works I think there's maybe 500. how is living around here [Music] good burgers oh I think Bagus is good good you like it okay okay she likes living around here how long are you living here already what 40 40 years I think she means 40 years ah okay and you're home home ah okay okay I think this is her home here living here for 40 years already little house here 10 meters away from the beach coconut trees around oh chantic chantik very nice I like it here yeah yeah oh very nice area this is a drone I will fly in the sky kids are always curious when they see uh me flying a drone because yeah I want to get some drone shots for you guys let's get some shots from above it actually looks pretty nice here right nice little village here lots of coconut trees around that always gets my attention okay bye-bye nice area friendly welcoming people here great little stop a little drinking stuff awesome now I'm fresh again for the next hour on the roads [Music] yeah my journey also gets longer because I'm trying to avoid the main roads as much as I can I rather prefer driving on these little side roads small rural roads through the villages the journey gets longer by doing that but I think way more interesting instead of driving on the main roads then the highways or something like that that's something that I can always recommend if you are traveling for any country by bike or by car take these small rural roads instead of the highways to see way more of the country crazy look at the amount of flags here and I see that everywhere along the east coast they must put up tens of thousands of flags all around the states here that is incredible and yeah I think there's an election coming up so I think this is probably yeah the colors of one of the parties here hey come on where are you from Germany no I drive with my motorbike coming from Kuala Lumpur and then go around today [Music] I'm picking up new subscribers here at the gas station where am I at the moment what is the name of the town Parker Ken k-e-n McKenna branch well famous you are thank you okay bye okay thank you all right let's see watch the pink ice cream here has to offer never tried this before like four and a half hours into the journey and it starts to get really exhausting I think this bike is not made for long distance Journeys I mean the first one two hours are no problem but after a while it gets really uncomfortable to sit on the bike so I have to stretch myself a little bit after like every hour or so usually I make one break per hour and yeah according to Google Maps it's like 45 minutes more to go so we are almost there and I'm really looking forward to arrive it's one of my favorite cities in Malaysia actually it's not refreshing it's very warm the water let me uh put something in my face ah yeah I started to I'm starting to feel a little bit exhausted I mean of course I enjoy the ride itself it's very enjoyable to uh to ride along here really beautiful scenery but yeah just after a while this bike gets pretty uncomfortable to sit on so yeah which part of Germany a small village in North Germany okay and I have a little problem now my phone is almost out of battery only 11 left that will maybe last another 10 minutes or so so what I always do I actually use my drone batteries as a power bank that works totally fine so I have the three door drone batteries here let's see how much I left yeah almost full so I will use them as a power bank to charge the phone and I will put the battery inside here and then you can charge the phone I'm charging totally fine like this okay I'm going to start the last leg of the journey now and I'm really looking forward to this ah that's this and yeah we are now in kuantan one of my favorite cities in all of Malaysia I spent already around three weeks here in 2020 and I'm heading now to one of my favorite places in all of Malaysia and yeah how was my experience of traveling here on the East Coast the less touristy side of Malaysia I really really enjoyed it personally I always like to look beyond the touristy places of a country to travel off the beaten path traveling in areas where you hardly see any Western tourists or foreign tourists in general and the only place where I saw other Western tourists here on the East Coast was on the pahensian islands which I showed you in the previous video and other than that I haven't seen another single Western tourist anywhere along the east coast but of course I do understand when you are traveling to Malaysia it's your first time here you basically have to see the touristy places right you can't skip Kuala Lumpur Penang is worth visiting Cameron Highlands Melaka I mean all these places are touristy for a reason because they are worth visiting but I can always recommend to also look Beyond this touristy places also travel to some areas of the country which are not that popular by Foreign tours because that gives you an opportunity to yeah really get to know the country so yeah I always enjoy that and that's why you will see me here on the channel we visiting countries that I've been to before a second or maybe even a third time and yeah now let me you one of my favorite places in all of Malaysia the quantum Riverfront right here very beautiful I spent a lot of time here while I was here in 2020 and actually I wanted to show you this place right here which was actually my favorite spot there were some cafes little restaurants down here where you can drink coffee tea have a little snack a little cake and I was enjoying sitting right here with a nice view over to the river having a coffee or something like that I did that several times in 2020 but this place is a construction site now huh that's a little bit unfortunate I'm really looking forward to sit down here now and if you enjoyed my trip around the East Coast then leave a like that really helps me out that helps the channel to grow and if you haven't seen my previous video from the prehension islands two of the most beautiful islands I have ever seen in my life then check out the video right here stay healthy stay positive and then see on the next episode ciao guys
