Welcome to our very special episode all about food in Malaysia! Having traveled the entirety of East Malaysia from Kilometer Zero all the way to the Tip of Borneo and down to Tawau, we have eaten all sorts of incredible, unusual, and exotic dishes, including one that we found repulsive. And we’ll show you all of it in this video!

I hope you’re hungry, because when it comes to exciting food, Malaysia has it all!

When you’re riding a rental motorcycle in a foreign country, there are some worst-case scenarios that are the stuff of nightmares. Putting bad fuel into your motorcycle is one of these, but even worse than that is suspecting that it might be DIESEL!

It’s the last day of our rental, and this is DEFINITELY not how we wanted to end our great motorcycle journey across East Malaysia…

One thing that we’ve discovered while be in Malaysia is that Malaysians are an extremely diverse group of people. Besides the ethnic Malay, Indian, and indigenous Dayak groups, Chinese immigrants have had a huge impact on the country.

So as we ride our KTM 250 Adventure motorcycle across East Malaysia, we discover the extent of the Chinese influence in Sarawak. And as a stunning and fascinating back drop to our explorations, we visit one of the largest Chinese Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia.

Malaysia may be amazing, but it also has a dark side.

We came face to face with that dark side when exploring Niah Caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. The deep cavernous labyrinth that we explored is no ordinary cave system – these are huge pre-historic caves that are situated in the heart of one of the world’s most inhospitable jungles: the ancient rainforests of the island of Borneo.

And here in Niah Caves, the many remains of neolithic dead humans in this cave is fascinating. But the creatures we found that were very much alive… That all equated to one of our most terrifying experiences yet.

This cave in Sarawak, East Malaysia isn’t just a cave, it’s an enormous cave! And more than being even just an enormous cave, it’s an archeological site with some of the oldest modern human remains in Southeast Asia.

So how big and impressive is Niah Cave? Well, you’re just going to have to take the journey with us into the darkness to find out…

One thing you find a lot of when traveling around Southeast Asia is people. As one of the most densely populated regions of the world, we did not expect to come across a long stretch of beach without a house, a piece of garbage, or even a single person on it.

But then we stumbled upon this hidden gem while riding our KTM 250 Adventure motorcycle through East Malaysia. 40 kilometers, or 25 miles of pristine sand and shimmering waters… Undeveloped, unpolluted, untouched, vast, and empty, this beach is so natural and unscathed by human development that it’s probably in the exact same state that it had been hundreds, if not thousands of years ago.

And we were about to ride our motorcycle on it! Discover this gorgeous corner of the world with us, and enjoy the ride!

Our first time crossing into Brunei was a rained-out disaster. But this time the sun is out, Marisa is feeling better after her sickness, and we are ready to experience Brunei and its world-renowned bridge for all it’s worth.

Actually, it is up for debate of whether the Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge is the longest bridge in Southeast Asia (more about that in the video), but it’s certainly a spectacle to behold! Brunei might be a tiny country, but it has made a bold statement to the world with its engineering feats and impressive construction. This bridge is not only long, but it’s gorgeous, and riding along it, and passing through its stunning archways is like being transported into another world…

You’ll see what we mean.
