Get more details about the Laksa Carnival: Follow on Instagram: Day 3 on this trip to Langkawi was the big Langkawi International Laksa Carnival, a gathering and festival to celebrate laksa, a dish of noodles and curry. There are many different types of Malaysian laksa, and just about every state in Malaysia has their own version. So the Laksa Carnival is an annual event in Langkawi that brings together the flavors of laksa in a single place. There were many states in Malaysia represented and there were also some other countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, and Chinese represented. In the morning we drove over to the Laksa Carnival and began by eating a variety of different laksas from around Malaysia. The day before, I had already eaten hand pulled noodles from China and a couple versions of laksa from the Malaysian state of Kelantan, so other than that I got a bowl of laksa Pahang, laksa Penang, laksa Perak, laksa Sarawak, and laksa Johor. They all had stalls represented at the Laksa Carnival, but I got a bowl of each and sat down to taste them all. All the different types of curry and noodles were quite different, some were more clear broth, others were more rich and creamy looking. After tasting all the different types of laksa from Malaysia, I would have to say that my favorite was from Sarawak, which is the Malaysian state on the island of Borneo. The flavor of the curry was delicious and I also loved the combination of ingredients. The Johor and Penang laksa tied for second place for me. The Laksa Carnival was a very fun even to attend, and I enjoyed the variety and the authenticity of the laksa served. Thank you to LADA and Naturally Langkawi for inviting me to the event. After slurping down multiple bowls of laksa we then headed to Cenang Beach to go on a jet ski tour with Mega Water Sports. The tour lasted for 4 hours, and we headed to a number of different beaches and got a tour of different islands and the landscape of Langkawi. The jet ski tour guide was very safe and responsible, and I thought it was an amazing and well done tour. It was my favorite time to ride a jet ski, and it was one of the most fun things Ive done in a long time. I couldnt believe how fast I could skim through the water. After coming back from the jet ski tour in Langkawi, we then took a drive over to Privilege Restaurant, a modern fusion Malaysian restaurant. We ate their Degustation Menu which included a number of different courses. My favorite course were the king prawns masak lemak, fresh prawns marinated in coconut milk and turmeric.

Your recent 3 videos in Langkawi and trying Malaysian dishes just made me love not just what you're doing but love you yourself more and more I always welcome you to our country. Guess this is your second time in Malaysia where your first was eating that nasi campur, roti canai, nasi lemak, teh tarik, and rice with Indian curry at Indian restaurant in KL? Good job Wiens. By the way, one of the chefs who judged the Festival was one of Malaysian famous celebrity chef, named Chef Jo, bald head with white beard and 50's look, yeah that one Well just trying to say you're so lucky and having invited to such Fest is a quite big significant as the name Migrationology. com and Mark Wiens show that You. Are. To. Grow. More. Famous. after this. After all, good job, Wiens

Im really thorn between wanting more tourist to visit Langkawi to discover It's beauty and Also worry that Too many irresponsible tourist who will pollute the islands. Does anyone know that Langkawi is a duty free islands? There's another beautiful island off the east coast Malaysia Which doesn't take reservation from travel agency, especially from a certain country, where by thier tourist come by the thousands, loud & dont understand the Basic etiquette of waiting in line For anything. That island has a nickname - Maldive of Malaysia but much more affordable.

Dear Mark, It's the first time I am commenting on your videos, but I'm an ardent Indian fan of yours (I hail from Dehradun in the State of Uttarakhand in India. I am also a fish lover and I literally loved the king prawns skewered in Lemongrass stem) and was amazed to see the speed with which the Malaysians prepare their noodles. It is simply mind boggling to see their dexterity and also your passion for food. All in all, a great video. three cheers for Mark and Ying.

Hi Mark, really glad you had some of the different Laksa, especially the Sarawak Laksa. Please do make your way down to Kuching Sarawak to have some of the best Kuching Sarawak Laksa and Kolo Mee. You can try Chong Choon Cafe in the middle of Kuching Town, it has one of the best Laksa in Kuching.

1st thing I do I hit like, 2nd is let commercial go all the way without skipping because I want Mark and Ling to get full payment for ads Mark you should go back through all your vlogs to reload the 5 second ads to all older vlogs, I'm sure that you will get more revenue if you do this, Cheers Eugene

Ahhh. another point scored for S'wak laksa from a famous foreign foodie. Being a S'wakian i'll be biased if i say it's the best in M'sia. But i've seen/heard enough from foreigners/expatriates who say S'wak Laksa is their b'fast of choice when they are here.
