prawn rolls are a popular chinese snack in southeast asia. it comprises of a fried springroll skin, wrapping dried shrimp that has been cooked with a mixture of spices and chillies (depending on where you get them), which is then deep fried. its most commonly eaten during chinese new year. love from singapore :))
I love them too! It might taste a bit fishy at first, but the crispiness from the fried spring roll really helps to balance it. In Indonesia it is called as 'sumpia udang'. We often serve it during CNY or you just simply have it at home as a snack.
Lol I had to search the comments to see if I was the only one who noticed! I’m so glad it wasn’t just me but a lot of people, and how did Ollie not notice?
Singaporean here! and the prawn spring roll is a real snack here! And yes, we do snack on it, but the taste is very subjective since it has a very strong fishy smell.
Indonesian here. I agree with you but the prawn roll depends on the prawn floss. If you got prawn rolls with fresh & better quality prawn floss, it won’t be fishy.
The Prawn Roll is made from dried prawns, quite prevalent in Asian cuisine. And yes, it really pongs 🤣 But I am THAT person who goes "I want a snack, gimme a prawn roll" 🤣
Very cool! They look delicious! I'm not a fan of fish or anything that tastes fishy, but I do love salty, spicy, umami flavors. This sounds like a fish I could get behind 👍
The prawn rolls is actually a part of the snacks usually found in homes during CNY, but can also be a year-round snack. Its filling is what we call the "hae bee hiam", a Hokkien name which is translated as "spicy dried shrimp sambal". This is also used as a culinary sauce, which goes well with kangkong (water spinach). As for the noodles, they were dead popular when it was initially released, but faded quickly because for me it was quite "jelak", a Malay term meaning that you'd get sick of eating something after awhile.
Irvin's is BIG in Singapore, they even have a collab with Cotton On with their designs on shirts and stuff. It's a pretty premium product though, much pricier than regular crisps (though it's pretty worth it for the quality).

hello from Singapore 🇸🇬!! i remember you guys trying the Salted Egg Fish Skin with Shandy and seeing this video, makes me realise how long ago that video was😭 I don't even like Salted Egg stuff but seeing your reactions to the food is very refreshing and you guys really made me laugh🤣🤣 Ollie: "Give me some skin" 🤣 Keep up the good work and hope to see you guys in Singapore 🇸🇬!!!💜
I'm dying at "You would've been a rubbish Noah" LOL. Rather than offensive, that's got to be the greatest subtle insult I've ever heard. Well done, Luke! 😆👏🏼
Yea Josh got it quite right, its actually dried shrimp that is blended into powder form and mixed in with some spices. Usually quite the main character of the show during a Chinese New Year reunion in Malaysia and Singapore. and it is easily, and i repeat very easily finished if one likes it. I finished a bottle of that watching a 30min tv show episode....my throat does not like it after that
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EARLYYYY BUT I WILL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU GUYS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU BOTH AND I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT I CAME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL FIVE YEARS AGO. THANKYOUU FOR MAKING ME LAUGH AND MAKING MY LIFE BETTER
Ay, Jolly trying one of the most expensive Singaporean snacks. (I'm not kidding, it costs about 8 Singaporean dollars, already expensive compared to the other snacks in Singapore.)
Wow, that is too bad. I love to eat fish and I was going to ask a friend to get me some bags. I will stay with fried small fishes with lemon then. Where I am from, there are small fishes that we eat fried as if they were chips and we get a lot of them and it is not expensive.
It's funny how when Ollie burps at @6:24, they just left it as it is and even zoomed in on his face. But when Josh burped in the past, they dubbed the sound of an eagle over it and covered his mouth with a picture of it as well! 🤣🤣🤣
Ah... Salted Egg Fish Skins. So good, so jelak, so many calories, so dangerous Edit: Prawn rolls are a nice snack during Chinese New Year but I wouldn’t go for them on a normal day
You guys NEED to try an actual salted egg by itself…. It really good. I normally have it with tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber with rice and like s grilled meat or grilled fish. Sooo good.
They just knew what salted eggs are?? SO THEY NEVER TRIED THE ACTUAL SALTED EGG?? Come on, Jolly!!! Indonesian here, you NEED to try it. (I eat it with plain white rice, its perfect as it is)
In Malaysia, many start businesses from their homes. One that my family regularly buys from sells salted egg cornflakes. You don't eat it with milk, it is just something you munch on while watching the telly.
Time to try the actual salted egg then. Its easy to do. I make my own, though not duck eggs but regular chicken eggs. Boil them for 6 to 7 minutes. Then boil equal parts of water and salt. Boil it to dissolve the salt. Let it cool. Place the cooked eggs in a glass container and top it with the cooled salted water. Leave it for 25 to 30 days. Enjoy it chopped with chopped onions and tomatoes.
Why u cook your egg? To make salted egg you start with raw egg. Put it in your brine for at least 3 weeks. To make sauce, you just use the yolk. I’d use the white to season rice congee.
What a great video to watch after breaking my fast. Anyways as someone from SEA, I think I speak for almost everyone that we do love salted eggs and yk next time maybe try the real salted eggs
I'd destroy a whole container of prawn rolls every time I visit my friends for Chinese New Year or Hari Raya. I'm not Chinese nor Malay hence why I rarely get to eat it unless it's at a friends house. They are amazing especially if it's spicy. One of my favourite snacks ever.
Omg, the BEST Singaporean snacks, everrrrr!! The shrimp rolls are very much for Chinese New Year and are on the coffee tables in many households for visiting guests. But the fish skins, salted egg yolk chips are newish invented snacks - Irvins is the go to brand, but there are other snack companies out there too.
Def should try salted egg just by itself, along with its many other uses! You could put it in congee, and even try the salted egg custard bao (流沙包) found in many dim sum restaurants. Quite versatile :)
This reminds me a lot of the "Wall of Fame" era in the JOLLY channel... they should do a second round and try more snacks and see which one is the best! Again! Or maybe instead of snacks, different spreads or national dishes! I know they've tried many national dishes, but seeing them rank them all and make a series out of it would be pretty fun to watch!
I would love to see more “bloopers” or have longer videos I laugh so much while watching your videos. pls include more of the material you guys gathered while filming it would be so funny. Love you guys and the crew behind camera! 🥰😂☺️
I am having a really hard time lately and you guys have saved me. Your videos bring light into my darkness. Thank you for the laughter and joy. I am almost done watching and 👍 every single video on all your channels. Much ❤️ and so grateful God brought your videos to me 🙏
My mother used to make and sell salted duck eggs in our neighborhood in my younger days. We had a duck poultry in the past, all rejected eggs were made into salted eggs that will be sold to our neighbors and relatives. Me and my brothers were always the first to taste it after it’s done cooking before we sell it 😂 Our favorite is eating it with tomatoes, onions and lime. Just mixed it together, it’s really good 👍 😊
@@oxoelfoxo eggs with a little cracks, soft shells and if the size is too large or too small are all rejected. Boiling process are done after brining the eggs.
Ollie's words aren't even scripted. How is it that everything that comes out of his mouth is pure Gold? All great lines that will look fantastic on t-shirts.
Oh my! I'm laughing so hard right now. I've just realised that I move my mouth imitating you guys when you are tasting new products. I can't stop laughing. Best wishes to you and all the Jolly crew. An amazing video, as always.
I love the way they have no problem sharing, like even a burger. Cause they’re best friends, probably closer to brothers, and they know it is fine. Yet it reminds me of that clip where a politician just touched the elbow of another and the guy that was touched had to begin to loudly say “I am a married man!!’
I used to live in Singapore and as much as Irvins taste great, I just think they're overpriced 😅 the prawn rolls however, is the GOAT! It's an acquired taste but is very normal on a South East Asian cuisine. I personally love it.
As a SEA, salted egg chips is one of my favourite snacks to have along with boba. I also love the salted egg by itself and dishes prepared with it. There’s even a sweet dessert called Liu Sha Bao that’s like a custard salted egg lava bun that’s just phenomenal.
I went through like 4 or 5 packets of salted egg fish skins, on a 2 day trip to singapore. And im not even ashamed ! IT WAS SO WORTH IT. its so sad that i cant get it where i live now.
Fish skin is so common in East Asia and Southeast Asia, like we eat most of our fish with the skin on, in fact we cook the whole fish as is. So when I came to the UK and found out fish skin was weird for British people, I was pretty shocked 😂 We love our fish skin, and we love our fishy/seafoody smell!
The snacks are usually flavoured with the egg yolk of the salted egg only. Usually the eggs are hard-boiled, cut by half along with the shell, then the egg white and egg yolk are scooped out and eaten with congee. That is one of usual way to eat the salted egg. During mid-autumn festival, the egg yolk is used as filling in the mooncake. The mooncake is filled with sweetened lotus seed paste (there are mooncake with sweetened red bean paste filling), with the yolk in the center of the filling itself. The festival is observed by Chinese, and similar celebration also can be found in Korea, Japan and Vietnam.
When my dad comes back from the Singapore, those snacks are a MUST to bring back home! Prawn rolls are pretty normal in SEA countries. Over here, you can find a lot of those prawn rolls served at people’s houses when we celebrate Eid Mubarak and we usually snack on those along with other snacks. Its actually really good. But plain rolls are really good too. You just fry those rolls with nothing inside and sprinkle with salt and dried curry leaves(?). Its pretty addicting!
The brand Irvin is a very popular Singapore based snack company. I’ve seen their products as far abroad as Texas and it’s still the bomb. Not cheap though, one bag is about $6-7 Singapore dollars which is £3-4 or $5-5 USD if my math works. The founders used to be in the Zhi char (Chinese family style dining) business and they transitioned to making snacks after their salted egg recipes were a hit. Salted egg generally refers to duck eggs that have been marinated in salt and charcoal to bring out a very unique flavor. Recently, there’s been a trend of adding salted egg sauce and pastes to food to make it more appealing
Salted egg is very common across Southeast Asia. We eat them as a side (just like some would do with hard boiled egg?) with plain white rice in Malaysia and Indonesia (malay cuisine), and use the salted egg sauce in many southeast Asian Chinese / Thai cuisines. (Stir fried salted egg chicken / pork / fish / prawns / squid). We also use the salted egg yolks, in traditional Chinese savoury sticky rice dumplings in the region.
The salted egg flavor is just the flavor of the yolk of any kind of egg (duck eggs are best) that has been preserved by "pickling" the egg in salt. Once the egg is "salted" (cured) you treat it like any other egg and hard boil it. The white is just plain salty (use it like you would table salt) and the yolk taste like "salted egg flavor". We use salted egg as a condiment to eating rice - kind of like how you would use table salt.
definitely a fan. and I remember the best salted egg flavoured pot noodles is from indonesia/Thailand. that brand is literally soooo good, and they have actual salted egg and stuff, u guys would luv it so much, coz me n my dorm mates r sooo addicted!!
Ollie dancing at the beginning and Josh looking at him funny is literally me and my mom lol I'd be randomly dancing to kpop and she's always looking at me weird, silently questioning if I'm okay LMAO
😏 I love when Jolly isn't just about food. I often find myself excited to have fun with you guys. :D You guys are so much more than just food. You guys are fun and I love the sense of community in the channel and seeing everyone evolve.
Their remarks are the best and the most awaited haha. Especially, Ollie's. As always, I'm thankful to every video you guys upload. Thank you JOLLY! See you JOLLY soon~
fun fact : indomie released a salted egg flavored instant noodle way back when, it's discontinued now due to luke warm response , which is a shame because personally i think it's delicious.
It divided the nation though, there are people who like it, and there are people who really really hate it. I haven't tried it to be honest, but lots of my friends said their burps smell like salted egg even hours after they ate the noodle. Josh and Ollie should've tasted that though, since they're a hardcore fan of Indomie Mie Goreng...
@@MelisaWijaya it is quite polarizing isn't it lol, and the burp thing is kinda true, but worth it in my opinion. and i agree Jolly should try it, if they can find one. that would be an interesting episode. but i have a feeling that ollie would hate it.
Singaporean here 🇸🇬. I can definitively say that Irvins is super overhyped. There are much better alternatives to get your salted egg yolk fix in Singapore, it’s just that Irvins is much more readily available.
@@jessicalau3152 appreciate your reply :). just to clarify, since IRVINS started selling in 2014, we always sold our 105g packs at SGD 8.00 and 230g packs at SGD 16.00. never changed the price, even when everyone else does :)
let's be honest. gyoza flavored everything is just THAT good. if someone managed to make anything gyoza flavored taste bad, it's their fault. not the gyoza.
The nasi goreng you had with Nigel had dried shrimp in it too, So the prawn roll is just the intense version where shrimp fried in sambal/shrimp paste (aka chili not so jam) is wrapped in spring roll skin and deep fried.
I went ahead and ordered some myself after watching your video last week as I had no idea these were a thing. I am now in some kind of snacky, crunchy heaven after eating some of the normal salted egg potato chips and the black pepper salmon skin :O :O I can't wait to try the other Irvin snacks in my box; thank you so much for showing these off!!
Singaporean here. Prawn rolls (done well) are next level amazing. Dried shrimp (used in prawn rolls), fermented shrimp (chinchalok and belachan) and salted fish are traditional umami flavours in South East Asian cooking. That fist hit of pungency might shock. But if you love it, you will hard core love it.
Salted egg is actually very common in Indonesia (and various other SE Asian countries), so common in fact that during a field trip in my middle school, we went to a duck farm and actually helped in the brining process of fresh duck eggs, my aunt used to brine duck eggs at her home (both to eat and sell), and you can just buy some fresh salted egg from street vendors, it's everywhere here! And in almost every restaurant you can find foods cooked in salted eggs (most commons are seafood, so like salted egg crab, or squids, etc)

Hey hrithika - where do you live? Just curious
2:08 That's THE most relatable reaction to a food i think i've ever seen.
Fish skin is so common in East Asia and Southeast Asia, like we eat most of our fish with the skin on, in fact we cook the whole fish as is. So when I came to the UK and found out fish skin was weird for British people, I was pretty shocked 😂 We love our fish skin, and we love our fishy/seafoody smell!
The snacks are usually flavoured with the egg yolk of the salted egg only. Usually the eggs are hard-boiled, cut by half along with the shell, then the egg white and egg yolk are scooped out and eaten with congee. That is one of usual way to eat the salted egg. During mid-autumn festival, the egg yolk is used as filling in the mooncake. The mooncake is filled with sweetened lotus seed paste (there are mooncake with sweetened red bean paste filling), with the yolk in the center of the filling itself. The festival is observed by Chinese, and similar celebration also can be found in Korea, Japan and Vietnam.
30 seconds in and Ollie referring to fish skins as shiny costumes has already made my day 😂
Thanks to JOLLY, I've really started broadening my horizons food-wise. Never knew how much I was missing out on!
Salmon is not "just another fish!" Try line-caught Pacific salmon that's been cooked skin-side down until the skin is crisp. So, so good!
“It’s a prestigious fish... salmon” seriously reminded me of the pelican in Roald Dahl’s the giraffe the pelly and me 4:51
When my dad comes back from the Singapore, those snacks are a MUST to bring back home!
Prawn rolls are pretty normal in SEA countries. Over here, you can find a lot of those prawn rolls served at people’s houses when we celebrate Eid Mubarak and we usually snack on those along with other snacks. Its actually really good. But plain rolls are really good too. You just fry those rolls with nothing inside and sprinkle with salt and dried curry leaves(?). Its pretty addicting!
U south indian?????
@@sreelakshmi4341 No. Malaysia.
Careful tho. Those are pretty pricey. XD
@@withluvmia i always thought curry leaves were a south indian thing....... 😅🤷♀️🤷♀️
That's the reason i asked ..... Guess i have a lot to learn
@@sreelakshmi4341 you just need to widen your view.
Yayyy! jolly is backk :)
love from Indonesia
anyway those snacks look good
The brand Irvin is a very popular Singapore based snack company. I’ve seen their products as far abroad as Texas and it’s still the bomb. Not cheap though, one bag is about $6-7 Singapore dollars which is £3-4 or $5-5 USD if my math works. The founders used to be in the Zhi char (Chinese family style dining) business and they transitioned to making snacks after their salted egg recipes were a hit. Salted egg generally refers to duck eggs that have been marinated in salt and charcoal to bring out a very unique flavor. Recently, there’s been a trend of adding salted egg sauce and pastes to food to make it more appealing
As a Japanese speaker, I was so confused by how Josh said “gyoza” until I realized he was bringing in his Chinese pronunciation. Now I see…
This channel has become my place to do some healing, so much helping with relaxation after work, thanks Josh and Olly❤❤
I love salted eggs, they're so good as a topping or just a little something more as a flavoring. You guys have to try the actual thing at some point.
Salted egg is very common across Southeast Asia. We eat them as a side (just like some would do with hard boiled egg?) with plain white rice in Malaysia and Indonesia (malay cuisine), and use the salted egg sauce in many southeast Asian Chinese / Thai cuisines. (Stir fried salted egg chicken / pork / fish / prawns / squid). We also use the salted egg yolks, in traditional Chinese savoury sticky rice dumplings in the region.
"That is more bland and I'm absolutely loving it" how British can Ollie be 🤣
Yeah, no. I don't taste my food and say 'thats nice and bland'. Or 'not bland' enough add tap water. It's a stereotype from rationing during ww2.
The salted egg flavor is just the flavor of the yolk of any kind of egg (duck eggs are best) that has been preserved by "pickling" the egg in salt. Once the egg is "salted" (cured) you treat it like any other egg and hard boil it. The white is just plain salty (use it like you would table salt) and the yolk taste like "salted egg flavor". We use salted egg as a condiment to eating rice - kind of like how you would use table salt.
Lol at Ollie’s face during the “unpaid advert” announcement
im feeling so down today and binge watching jolly vids really helps. thank tou
i'm always so happy when a new jolly episode comes out :D
definitely a fan. and I remember the best salted egg flavoured pot noodles is from indonesia/Thailand. that brand is literally soooo good, and they have actual salted egg and stuff, u guys would luv it so much, coz me n my dorm mates r sooo addicted!!
"I feel like I've run out of animals."
"What? After the 4 that you've named?"
"YOU WOULD'VE BEEN A RUBBISH NOAH."
Burn 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly I'm so glad you did the sortedfood colab. Otherwise I would never have discovered your channels ❤️
Now that you’ve both tried salted egg snacks, you should give the actual salted egg a go!
If you’d like to be more adventurous, try century eggs 👀
Ollie dancing at the beginning and Josh looking at him funny is literally me and my mom lol I'd be randomly dancing to kpop and she's always looking at me weird, silently questioning if I'm okay LMAO
Sad that they hate prawn rolls. Sumpia is so good
😏 I love when Jolly isn't just about food. I often find myself excited to have fun with you guys. :D
You guys are so much more than just food. You guys are fun and I love the sense of community in the channel and seeing everyone evolve.
Oh what a jolly monday!
I highly recommend salted egg wafer biscuits (you likely had the sweet version as kids) they are savory and just a thing of beauty.
I woke up just in time 😂 y’all are amazing
Their remarks are the best and the most awaited haha. Especially, Ollie's. As always, I'm thankful to every video you guys upload. Thank you JOLLY! See you JOLLY soon~
fun fact : indomie released a salted egg flavored instant noodle way back when, it's discontinued now due to luke warm response , which is a shame because personally i think it's delicious.
It divided the nation though, there are people who like it, and there are people who really really hate it. I haven't tried it to be honest, but lots of my friends said their burps smell like salted egg even hours after they ate the noodle.
Josh and Ollie should've tasted that though, since they're a hardcore fan of Indomie Mie Goreng...
@@MelisaWijaya it is quite polarizing isn't it lol, and the burp thing is kinda true, but worth it in my opinion.
and i agree Jolly should try it, if they can find one. that would be an interesting episode. but i have a feeling that ollie would hate it.
Every Chinese New Year I'm just holding onto a container of prawn rolls, snacking away xD my fav CNY snack
Singaporean here 🇸🇬. I can definitively say that Irvins is super overhyped. There are much better alternatives to get your salted egg yolk fix in Singapore, it’s just that Irvins is much more readily available.
Exactly. When it started it wasn't so expensive. They became so.overpriced. I can buy "non branded" salted fish skin elsewhere
I prefer the Golden Duck brand and Crusry brand over Irvins
@@jessicalau3152 appreciate your reply :). just to clarify, since IRVINS started selling in 2014, we always sold our 105g packs at SGD 8.00 and 230g packs at SGD 16.00. never changed the price, even when everyone else does :)
I’m dying in pain on the couch from my period. Thank u for saving my day 😭😭😭😭
let's be honest. gyoza flavored everything is just THAT good. if someone managed to make anything gyoza flavored taste bad, it's their fault. not the gyoza.
The nasi goreng you had with Nigel had dried shrimp in it too,
So the prawn roll is just the intense version where shrimp fried in sambal/shrimp paste (aka chili not so jam) is wrapped in spring roll skin and deep fried.
싱가포르에서 고등학교 다녔을때 편의점에 있었는데 다른 과자에 비해서 너무 비싸서 안먹었던 기억이😅
Just Ollie starting the video with Voguing. Classic Ollie. LOVE ITTT
JOLLY !!
2:55 “Say that to the fish!!!” lolllll Ollie’s comedy gold
Even the intro shows how extra ollie is HSNXJSJSJ
"You would've been a rubbish Noah!" Best behind the camera comment EVER!!! HAHAHAHAAA!!!
Hi!
Hi UwU
I love that Ollie's burps are much more gentle compared to Josh's that no eagle cries are needed
Ollie's burps right before the prawn chips are kiiiiiilliiiiing me! 😂😂😂
I went ahead and ordered some myself after watching your video last week as I had no idea these were a thing. I am now in some kind of snacky, crunchy heaven after eating some of the normal salted egg potato chips and the black pepper salmon skin :O :O I can't wait to try the other Irvin snacks in my box; thank you so much for showing these off!!
Singaporean here. Prawn rolls (done well) are next level amazing. Dried shrimp (used in prawn rolls), fermented shrimp (chinchalok and belachan) and salted fish are traditional umami flavours in South East Asian cooking. That fist hit of pungency might shock. But if you love it, you will hard core love it.
some REALLY good prawn rolls can be soooo addictive it helps get you through the house visits during festive season haha
i can imagine ollie as noah saving sea animals and leaving everything else behind lmao
Salted egg is actually very common in Indonesia (and various other SE Asian countries), so common in fact that during a field trip in my middle school, we went to a duck farm and actually helped in the brining process of fresh duck eggs, my aunt used to brine duck eggs at her home (both to eat and sell), and you can just buy some fresh salted egg from street vendors, it's everywhere here! And in almost every restaurant you can find foods cooked in salted eggs (most commons are seafood, so like salted egg crab, or squids, etc)
