Japanese YouTuber couple can't wait to return to Malaysia

Eager to enjoy the authentic Malaysian food experience, Jimmy and IChang eat rice and curry with their hands.

"Inside the badak (hippopotamus) we put grated coconut soaked in palm sugar. It is very delicious...can get us addicted. When I make (badak berendam, made with glutinous rice flour) I put lots of coconut inside and eat it non-stop (that I might become as big as hippo)”.

The sense of humour of the young couple from Japan - Jimmy and IChang - as they devour the famous traditional dessert badak berendam’(literally translated as soaking hippo), has endeared them to their viewers on their YouTube channel (iChang), which has amassed over 132,000 subscribers.
