Thanks for clarifying that
Subscribed! Just found your channel. Great tips for my upcoming trip to Taichung. Didnt see you eating "chow tau foo" ? From Malaysia :)😀
Thanks for the sub! Unfortunately, chow tau foo won the battle of intimidation this time but some day, I will get a win. What are some top cities you would recommend for foodies to visit in Malaysia?
I don't want to be rude, but, the Bay is one of the only places where chao Chinese exist. Vien houng in downtown Chinatown is a staple. I will definitely fight you on that.
Hey I’m all for suggestions and I don’t find your comment rude at all. No worries. I do plan to keep expanding my video library as time permits to other areas as well so will keep Vien Houng in mind
stop talking talking talking, especially unnecessary rubbish.
Meals at your dinner table must be very 🥱. I do really like that word “rubbish” though
Get out to west Sydney for the best ban mi
Thanks for the tip
@JumboHotdog888 Wow and that's all it takes for you to show your true colors? I'm sure you were waiting in the shadows like a vulture for the slightest negative response so that you could you use the "constructive advice" reason to justify how you really feel and your even more harsh words about me just now. If you feel aggrieved by the way I speak and even when I eat, sorry not sorry but maybe you need to look yourself in the mirror and do some soul searching within? You communicate like no one ever taught you how to do so properly whether it is in a personal or professional setting. You can twist the situation anyway you like but I have no respect for someone who is a disrespectful person. Period.
thanks for visiting Sydney, I'm glad you enjoyed the stay. I must comment that you both have great taste in watches. 😊
A fellow watch enthusiast perhaps! Thank you for watching my video
Thank you, Jeff! I'm in the bay area. Hopefully you do a part 2 of this and make it the affordable hole in the wall kind please!
You’re welcome and yes the prices of most of these places were definitely on the pricier side but also me feeding a family of 4 that day too didn’t help with the cost 😉. Definitely will try and find & share my experiences at some more hole in the wall spots
You really love your food!
I was very sheltered from good food as a kid 😉
Jeff, will you ever make a video explaining your decision to quit your corporate job and what inspired you to start this channel?
Yes I do plan to for sure!
Mostly East Asian cuisine
Thanks for the insights 😉
Thank you for this video. I'm going to Taiwan in 3 days 🎉🇹🇼 It has been 24 years I haven't visit my birth country🙂
You must be super duper excited ;) Enjoy all of the good food and everything amazing your birth country has to offer. Safe travels :)
@@fomoyolotravel I'm too excited 😊
The Brit’s would call the pea mash “mushy peas”
It's Mrs Macquarie's Chair rather than Point. Mrs Macquarie was the wife of an early colonial governor, and the story is that she used walk to the chair-like rock most days just to look at the view. I wonder what she would have thought of all the changes since then. And congratulations on pronouncing "Quay" correctly. Many US tourists don't manage that
Thanks for those insights. The word "quay" is more foreign to US folks for sure. I butchered it myself when I first moved to Singapore many years ago and called Boat Quay and Clark Quay "kway"
@@fomoyolotravel You would not have been the first person to do that.
Thinking about this again, Key West comes to mind. A quick check gives ambiguous results, but I'd not be surprised were there a connection.
Next time you come to Australia you should do even more exploring. I would love to see more of your impressions. Also with the condiments… You don’t always get charged. They do tend to in Sydney though. City mentality and all.
Perhaps someday I/we can make it back to Melbourne. Thanks for all of the comments and checking out my videos!
As an Aussie I am keen to know where the authentic food is so thank you for this video!
You’re absolutely welcome and eat some Gai Tod Hat Yai from Caysorn Thai for me 😉
@@fomoyolotravelI will next time I’m in Sydney. I want to try all the three dishes you tried there. I have done the nuclear noodle challenge. How would you say the spice level compares?
@@Angelicwings1 the spice level was not uncomfortable at all and very well balanced. I do think you can ask for more though if that something you prefer and they’d happily accommodate
@@fomoyolotraveloh I am happy with whatever heat they tend to have in Thailand. I don’t want whitened down version. So whatever is authentic I will try.
🤣
Pro tip… If you go to the QVB and aren’t there so much for shopping… It’s even better super early in the morning. Especially at Christmas time. They have a giant tree with crystals and when it’s practically deserted you can really take in the architecture. I’m not sure if you got to see Hyde park or the Domain but if you get off at museum station it’s right by the park. You can walk from there easily to the epic Cathedral which is free to enter as well as a major Museum and the Art Gallery. The museum is a tiny fee but the Art Gallery and Cathedral are totally free. Taronga Zoo was an absolutely brilliant choice. It’s a lovely zoo. However, darling Harbour offers four attractions within walking distance. Madam Tussauds, another small zoo and the Aquarium (which has Pig the Dugong!) are all next door to each other and you can get a pass for all three. About 15mins walk away there is the Maritime Museum which has submarines and things you can explore as well as really cool exhibits.
Thank you so much for adding so much additional info for me and other future viewers reading your comment. Super helpful 😃
@@fomoyolotravelNo worries! I don’t live in Sydney. I actually live 6hrs away by train or about 3-4hrs by car. I have family in Sydney and I’m a musical nerd so I go when I can and I love to explore though. How cool was the view from Taronga though? Also the ferry ride is so lovely.
Jeff, will you ever make a video explaining your decision to quit your corporate job and what inspired you to start this channel?
I absolutely could and wouldn’t mind sharing more of personal story and how I came to the decision if you and others feel it would be something of interest?
@@fomoyolotravel Absolutely! It’d also be great if you gave us some insight on how you got started with trading.
Australia is actually the only country that has its coat of arms on its menu! haha . Not just the Kangaroo as u stated but the emu. Both animals do not walk backwards , which is symbolic of Australia moving forward. The other thing with the pylon on the Sydney Harbor bridge is u pay a small fee of around $ 30 to walk up the 200 steps. What u were referencing was the bridge climb which takes u to the very top of the bridge, but u wear a harness and u climb with a group. Appreciate you sharing your videos and have a safe and happy journey. One last thing to mention is Ballarat in Victoria , u have the oldest continuous Chinese community outside of mainland China. Many Chinese arrived there in the 19th century during the height of the Gold rush period.
Thank you for watching my video in its entirety and for sharing the insights and clarifications you did. I was unaware of the Emu dining option and I will say kangaroo tasted like a fine piece of steak when I had it. We really enjoyed our time there. Perhaps Victoria is a place we can check out some day. Thanks again!
Kangaroo is so flavourful when you cook it right.
Great vid Jeff! Some of the places you went to I haven’t even been to and your content of syd is great from a tourist perspective! Very different take compared to some of the other content creators on this platform!
Thanks for that honest feedback. I appreciate you… 🙏🏻
You mean South Bay…
Sure 👍🏼
Totally agree on your first choice wanton. It has a smoked flavour which nobody has it.
Thanks for checking out my video
Thank you for recommendation 🎉🎉
You’re welcome!
That's not traditional bean curd,that's pudding....
Maybe tell that to the owners of the shop?
Singapore has the best foods in the world, and we are spoilt for choice.
100% agree 😎
Hi Just watched your video great we're will be in singapore in march 2025 so will take up your advice. Many Thanks
Enjoy your time out there! Thank you for watching my content.

Thanks for checking out my video!
Interesting that you said the best part of duck was the soy sauce-My experience at Mr Wong was the worst- terrible service- tea was bitter - duck was dry- not recommend at all
I’m sorry to hear that. We did enjoy the food there albeit on the pricier end for sure. I also was referring to the hoisin sauce that brings the flavor all together for Peking duck dishes
new thainatown has the best boat noodles
So happy to see Syd receiving love for their seafood and other eateries too! Thank you! : D
You’re welcome and thank you for watching. The fish market food was spectacular!
Never eat at geylang from poring 4 to poring 40. All the food stalls are frequented by prostitutes and their sexual clients, most infected with venereal diseases. And all the food stall food handlers are unclean.
Just stumbled across this video and enjoyed it - thanks for your frank reviews! The editing is great too. Hope you return to Singapore sometime!
Thanks for commenting and checking out my video. I hope to capture & release more Bay Area centric videos in the near future as well
Mmm.??. Yes, S'pore is good, better than most other hawker styles in South East Asia.I still think M'sia still has an edge over S'pore. And the exchange rate makes it a lot cheaper. There is also Ipoh, where many streets has its own special hawker variety..and everyone knows about Penang. But many do not know about the Malay style Nasi Lemak where every state has its own twist of accompaniments.
Thank you for commenting and I haven’t spent enough time in Malaysia (only KL & JB mainly). I’ve heard great things about Ipoh as well but did not know of the variety of Nasi Lemak throughout the country but would love to check it out someday
some good stuff
Thanks for watching and I hope you found it useful
😮
The way he pronounces kao xiong infuriates me. He keeps saying kao song kao song kao song. It’s KAO XIONG
Wow you get infuriated very easily and it ain’t good for your mental health. Instead of being a hater on pronunciation, maybe just appreciate the fact that someone, a foreigner, is actually sharing with the public how beautiful this city in Taiwan is 🤙🏽. If you can’t handle it, go ahead and make sure to smash that “Dislike” button. It doesn’t bother me
@@fomoyolotravel I’m watching the Taiwan breakfast episode now
wanton mee is lousy lah
That’s funny 😂. I want to know where you go for the “non lousy” stuff then so I can try next time or are you also going to keep it a secret like 90% of people with comments like this? Sharing is caring 😉
@@fomoyolotravel I like the one at Duman Food Ctr
😮😮😮 You have made me hungry. 😮😮
😋
This is the worst Wan Tan mee. The mee is too soft. The Wan Tan is small. The best Wan Tan mee is Hong Kong. Second is Malaysia.
Oh boy… 🤷🏻♂️
No slupping Jeff. It’s not Korean or Japanese noodles. If you do, the chilli will get you. Not a good idea.
Haha learned my lesson🤣
Cool , it looks really tasty , I like to suggest to you , when showing tasty looking food , why not talk to chef , and share how to ? And ingredients needed and how , list . So on your video link to your website to order the lists on how to cook at home ? Something to think about , travel and make extra income to pay for the trips .
Absolutely. I would totally try incorporating more food preparation / kitchen walkthroughs for future food travels at establishments that don’t mind sharing how they prep and if they have time since a lot of them are very busy. It’s a personal space thing and since I’m a small channel, most have shoo shooed me away 😉. Great opportunity for income as you suggest but honestly, my current stance for my channel is not really doing TH-cam for money. I’m having fun just creating content and sharing my adventures. If the income continues to come, even better. Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻
thank you Jeff.
Thank you for watching
Great stuff, bro! I just found your channel, and I’m kind of in the same boat in life as you are, leaving the rat race behind to travel more. I also just went to Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore as well. Keep up the great content!
Awesome about the big change in life. It can be nerve racking for sure and there are certainly pros and cons but it's given me a whole new level of freedom and peace. Good luck to you in that journey and thanks for watching my video
Thanks Jeff for sharing. Even though I stayed in SG all my life I have never been these places. I am going now, today and tomorrow 😅.
You are very lucky to have so many amazing food options to choose from now, today, tomorrow, and the rest of your life 😉
PAY ATTENTION ALL TOURISTS! OLD AIRPORT ROAD HAWKER CENTRE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSING FOR 4 MONTHS from 1ST JUNE 2024 FOR REPAIRS AND RENOVATION/REMODELING WORKS. PRIOR WARNING SO YOU DON'T GET DISAPPOINTED.
Jeff I fully agreed with u that this wan ton needle stall is real DELICIOUS !!!!! Never mind others NEGATIVE replies. U've me standing side by side with u !!!!!
Thanks for watching and yes, nobody can change my mind about how delicious the wanton mee is there. Haha thanks for having my back! The negative and deliberately hurtful comments actually just make me laugh. Losers focus on Winners 🤣
I'm still craving for that plum powder. Can't get it here in Hollland. Used to live in Taichung Dakeng area
Those things are addicting for sure at the night markets! Thanks for watching and I hope you get to make it back out to Taichung / Taiwan soon
I loved Singapore I stayed for one month, and loved all their specialty dishes, especially the chili crab and they’re steam chicken over rice was their signature dish and the Ramen noodles and the homemade steamed dumplings. Everything was delicious. I took a boat ride up the canal at the Quay and shopped at all the little shops, and went to Chimes to Sunday Mass there, such beautiful church very special place. I can’t wait to go back.
That’s awesome and sounds like you had a wonderful time! People often say you don’t need more than 3 days in Singapore if you’re visiting. If you’re a foodie though, you can stay way longer than that and still wish you had more time 😀
Bay Area Asian food diversity is amazing and delicious day and day. Quite enjoyable video presentation. Grace Upon Grace.
100%! Thank you for commenting and watching!
Need to check it out. Thank you
I hope you enjoy it like I did if you do make it there :)
