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.

No gas, no food, no towns, no hotels. Pure jungle.
It’s one of the most remote roads on the island of Borneo, through one of the densest and oldest rainforests on earth. So of course we wanted to ride through this interior road into the heart of Sabah, Malaysia, but there were a few major problems with this trip.
The first is that there are very few amenities on the road. Without camping gear and no hotels along the way, we simply have to make it to the other side or we’ll be stuck in the jungle at night.
Also, there are no gas stations. So we planned on packing extra gasoline in plastic 2 liter water bottles strapped to our KTM 250 Adventure motorcycle. But will it be enough?
And the final problem is that I have a horrible fever, and because of a time constraint on the rental motorcycle, we HAVE TO go to today.
I’m beginning to wonder if this was such a good idea…

They call them “water villages” or “kampung air” in Malay, but I call them “fantasy floating villages” because they remind me of fantastical cultures of people that live completely off of the ocean. But these people are real, and there’s more than 50,000 of them in Malaysia, with an estimated 10,000 water houses built on stilts over the water.
So of course, while we rode across the island of Borneo on our KTM 250 Adventure motorcycle, we had to check one out, and see how the people there actually live. And it’s like stepping into a video game world that’s straight out of someone’s imagination…

“Avoid ALL unnecessary travel to Semporna, Malaysia,” states the UK travel warning. Pirates, kidnappings, beheadings of the tourists… unfortunately, these are the things that Semporna is infamous for. And yet, thousands of tourists descend up its streets, and travel to the shores of its islands every year to experience the magical sights that make Semporna what it is.
So of course Tim and I wanted to see what was actually going on here, and to see if we could answer the question, “Is Semporna, Malaysia really so dangerous?”

Have you ever heard of ? Well, after watching this video, you won’t forget it. I call it the Grand Canyon of Southeast Asia, even though it’s not a canyon at all, but when we went there, it was that same jaw-dropping feeling of overlooking a spectacular natural wonder that is one-of-a-kind, found nowhere else on earth. It’s that feeling of being small in an awe-inspiring, huge world. Bliss amidst breathtaking beauty.
We thought maybe the pictures online that we’d seen had been touched up, but this video will prove to you that this may just be Malaysia’s most beautiful place. And you might even consider it the most beautiful place in the world.
Enjoy the views!

Believe it or not, some people actually take their side mirrors off of their motorcycles when coming to Asia. Is it because of the crazy traffic, or because there are simply different rules of the road? And does that mean that mirrors are completely useless or even a hindrance in certain situations?
As we struggle with our own mirror issues while riding through East Malaysia on our KTM 250 Adventure, we discuss why people do this, and what our thoughts on it are.

Some monkeys are nice, like the proboscis monkeys of the island of Borneo. But some monkeys like the macaques… well, let’s just say they are the evil ones.
We've been riding our KTM 250 Adventure motorcycle around East Malaysia, and were now exploring the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Reserve when we had a very mischievous wild encounter with the monkeys here. And one of them in particular wanted my nice KLIM helmet! What was I supposed to do?

We were always told not to feed the wildlife, especially human food. But when we visited the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Reserve, and we saw that they were feeding the proboscis monkeys there “pancakes,” we began to wonder how ethical this place actually was.
But as we delved into the history of Labuk Bay, as well as information regarding the proboscis monkey, I realized that every story has two sides to it.
Just like a pancake.

I hit a bump, then the motorcycle died. It was unexpected for sure, but when riding around the island of Borneo, I’ve come to expect the unexpected.
I knew right away what it was… But the next question was how were we going to fix it? On a barren road in the middle of the jungle?
This was definitely adventure motorcycle riding at its finest.

The scars of war cut deep. Even the landscape of one of the most remote and undeveloped islands on earth has been shaped by the destructive power of mankind. In World War II, when Japan sought control over the island of Borneo, they waged a military campaign against the British and Dutch there called the Battle for Borneo. And it was brutal.
But to see the life and beauty that has grown out of a site where this horrific bombing took place is… unbelievable.
We get the opportunity to delve into the history of this island, and see for ourselves what has become of this WWII bomb crater.

The Tip to Tip Route of East Malaysia – an epic ride of 1300 kilometers (820 miles) from the eastern edge of the island of Borneo to its most northwestern point. And we were about to complete this incredible feat that few people ever have the opportunity to do, riding our KTM 250 Adventure two up from one end of the Tip to Tip Route to the other. And what awaited us at the end of this ride was one of the most shocking and impressive sights we’ve ever seen!
You’ll understand when you see it…

Could this be the greatest experience to be had in Malaysia?
We originally had no intention of riding our motorcycle onto one of East Malaysia’s most beautiful and pristine beaches. Our plan had been simply to complete the Tip to Tip Route on the island of Borneo and reach its northernmost point. But I am so glad we took this little detour to have the jaw-dropping experience of a lifetime.

For Tim and I, diving into the ocean is like arriving on a distant planet – it’s full of strange and exotic creatures that are completely unknown to us, some of which can be quite dangerous. So as we found ourselves on the shores of the Sulu Sea, one of the most biodiverse expanses of ocean on earth, we were apprehensive to go into the waters where there were spiky and bizarre marine creatures living just below the surface.
But it was the beauty of our rustic beachside cabin in East Malaysia (a place with a view to die for) that finally drew us into the Sulu Sea. Because we might only be here once in our lives…
And so why not?🥺Can’t wait for the next episode?
