Background music playing. Today we are standing in front of Malaysia's
-
most iconic building the Petronas Towers. There are lots of different vantage points
-
around the park so that you can get your shot with the Petronas Towers and this is one of
-
them. The Petronas Towers took six years to build
-
and they were the tallest buildings in Asia until Tapei 101 took them over and I've been
-
to Taipei 101 and these are more impressive. Background music playing.
-
We're standing at Merdeka Square which means Independence Square. This used to be a former
-
Cricket Field but now it's being used for something completely different. And just behind
-
us we have the Sultan Abdul Sahmad Building which is quite impressive.
-
Background music playing. Massive. Absolutely gigantic flag in the back.
-
Background music playing. And this flag over here it absolutely massive.
-
The flagpole is 95 meters tall and it is one of the biggest in all of SE Asia.
-
Background music playing. We're going to take you on a high speed journey
-
from KL Sentral station to KL LCC station at night. Let's go for a ride.
-
Background music playing. Continuous background music playing.
-
Bright and early. It's on seven twenty in the morning. And I've been dragged out of
-
bed by someone to go visit the Batu Caves early in the day. And how are we getting there?
-
We are taking the commuter train from KL Sentral. One ringgit each! It was cheap.
-
Background music playing. Today we're visiting the Batu Caves. It's
-
only thirteen kilometers north of Kuala Lumpur and this is an important Hindu Shrine.
-
The caves takes its name from the Batu river and is dedicated to Lord Murugan. Looks like
-
it's feeding time for the pigeons over here. Bird noises.
-
Background music. Who said money or food couldn't buy you friends.
-
Background music playing. Here I am on step number one. I've only got
-
two hundred and seventy two more of these bad boys to climb. Up we go.
-
Background music playing. There are lots of Mac ques or little monkeys.
-
It's the first time I've seen monkeys up close, so it's all that I'm taking pictures of at
-
the temple. Finally, two hundred and seventy two steps
-
later we have made it to the top. Background music playing.
-
Music being played - traditional style drums and horns
-
So this is actually my third time coming to the Batu Caves but this is by far the earliest
-
I've come and what a difference it makes. There is hardly anyone here. It feels like
-
we have the place to ourselves. We've had intimate encounters with pigeons, monkeys,
-
roosters. There is a performance going on. My tip to anyone is to come early.
-
We beat the first tour bus group here. Look at them coming. Hahahaha!
-
Background music playing. Background music playing.
-
So today we're having dinner at a great little restaurant. It's located right across from
-
the Pudaraya bus terminal in Kuala Lumpur. And it's Indian food. My favorite.
-
Nothing like refreshing fruit drinks to start the meal. Here is our food. Ooooh! Nice. Thank
-
you. Background music playing.
-
So what we are having today is called Roti Canai and it is an Indian flat bread. I got
-
one that has cheese inside and I'm going to dip it in the curry sauce. And the roti canai
-
is actually the Malaysian form of Indian bread. Oh yeah!
-
What we're having here is roti canai. And Roti means bread in Hindi and Malay. Canai
-
in malay means to roll out the dough. How do you roll it out? Show me ;) Nice.
-
It's made with flat egg flour water and in special cases where there is special ingredients
-
like this one right here. It has cheese. Sam's feeling a little shy because there is
-
people watching him eat right now. Is it the freckles? Is it the t-shirt? Is it because
-
he's using his hands? It's a spectacle. What could it be?
-
Background music playing. There are two ways to eat roti canai. By hand
-
or by utensil. And believe me I will not give up an opportunity to use my hands. Demonstrate
-
for us. Mix it up good. Ewww, that's sloppy.
-
Hahaha. You just wiped it on your pants. No, I didn't.
-
And Audrey here will be having it using utensils. Well, I on the other hand am eating like
-
a lady using a fork and spoon. Oooh Lala. Keeping it classy.
