PETALING JAYA: US Ambassador to Malaysia Brian McFeeters and other American US Embassynstaff tried out various Malaysian childhood snacks in a charming video celebrating Malaysia’s National Day.
In the nearly three-minute video posted on YouTube on Tuesday (Aug 31), McFeeters and other American embassy staff members were filmed having a taste of unique Malaysian flavours.
Starting off, McFeeters tried durian-flavoured popcorn, showing off his Malay as he commented on the taste.
“Makanan yang paling istimewa (A special type of food). It’s pretty nice, I am a little hesitant about the durian, but this is kind of light and like the Malaysian version of Cheetos,” said McFeeters.
“You can smell (durian) if somebody’s even had it in the hallway before you got there but this does not have a strong smell. Sedap. Enak. (Delicious), rasa garam (the salty taste) is nice,” he added in the video.
Another staff member named Michelle had a bite of the Dahfa fried fish fillet snacks, pleasantly surprised that she enjoyed the taste.
“It’s not bad though, I kind of like it. It’s salty, I could probably eat a lot of these,” she said.
Another staff member named Sydney enjoyed the Aiskrim Malaysia, a type of flavoured popsicle contained in a plastic tube.
“It looks like an American Otterpop. It looks really good, and I like mango a lot,” she said.
