@@EiIeenAldis I enjoyed watching. One of the biggest downsides to moving to Singapore is the cost. Everything is very expensive, from groceries and bills, to Western luxuries like alcohol and certain foods
Loved it but I just wished it was longer… you are both so good that it always seems it’s too short! It flows story telling and editing always on point ! Well done if I ever to Singapore 🤞🏼 I would want to try this amazing restaurant and visit little India! Well done 👏🏼 I can’t wait to see more All the best for 2023 Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
aww thanks, Sabrina! ❤️ Glad you liked seeing Little India and, yes, this restaurant was great! I loved eating off the banana leaves and the dishes were full of flavour. I have to work on my spice tolerance haha ;) Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2023 too! ✨
I love the funky music and all of the vibrant colours in Little India. Adding it to my bucket list! Keep up the great work and look forward to hopefully visiting Singapore myself one of these days.
Sooo happy to travel vicariously with you again! I LOVED the restaurant and your lovely word pictures of the food! .....I especially liked what you had to say about the banana leaf serving plate! ….Just when I was wishing to see more of your surroundings….OUT you went! What a lovely place….And you describe everything so well! ….LOVED THE VIDEO….!!! ........PS: SAFFRON for me!
Thank you!! ❤️ Eating off the banana leaves was great and makes for easy clean up too! Glad the video left you wanting more...there are plenty more videos to come in our Singapore series to stay tuned :) By the way, glad we agree about the saffron ice cream! 😁
Hi Eileen and Marc! 🥰 I like both Saffron and Pistachio, and since I've not had Saffron icecream, I'm not ruling it out! I am a huge fan of Pistachio Gelato however! Fun to spend a little time with you!! Thank you and Enjoy! 😉🥰🤗
Hey Gina! Mmm pistachio gelato is great, yeah. When I think of pistachio as a flavour that's probably what I mainly associate it with actually. Hope you're having a great day :)
as a SG local. warm welcome to SG! i do suggest you exploring Singapore heartlands such as Bishan or AMK via the Red Line MRT to see a different lifestyle than the city! ( or a newer estate area at Punggol waterwaypoint! ) food might be cheaper there too! Also do consider *Song fa* Bak Kut teh! ( its the Singapore version with pepper instead of herbal ) Song Fa Brand has a few outlets around Singapore that you can google map it ) lastly Mince Meat noodle ( Which is quite common in most hawker ( with extra vinegar ) just check the noodle booth
Thank you for the welcome and these great recommendations! We always appreciate that :) Curious if you've seen the other videos in our Singapores series so far? They're here if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/m9AQ8MY4gI0/w-d-xo.html There are lots more to come as well. This was our first time in Singapore! The hawker centre was great and we did try one of the dishes you suggest which I assume was the Singapore version but you'd know better when you see it.... :)
Love all the vibrant colours in little India. What a cool restaurant! I’ll definitely be trading in my plate for a banana leaf going forward :) thanks for another great video!
I love these inspiring glimpses you're giving us to this fantastic city. I was enjoying some chicken tikka masala as I clicked on your video! I adore Indian food. As for the kulfi, my partner always chooses pistachio (his favorite flavor), so I'd have the saffron. Works for me! Cheers, lovelies. 🙌😘
Hey Michael! Sounds like you were eating the perfect pairing for this video...how fortuitous! Hope it was delicious. 😋 Your partner and Marc clearly have similar taste in ice cream! Honestly they were both great but I maintain the saffron was my personal favourite. 😉 Delighted to know you're enjoying this Singapore series! Have a wonderful weekend ❤️
Finally checking out this video from yesterday. Super excited to watch it. ..... ; That Mango Lassi drink did look really yummy. Equally yummy is all of that Indian food you & Marc tasted.... ; Great video as always. Looking forward to the next one when it comes out.
Hey Kevin! The mango lassi was delish and extra good in the Singapore heat! We love Indian food and this feast was wonderful, as you can see. Glad you enjoyed it! Lots more videos to come in this Singapore series - hope you've been having a great weekend :)
Sounds like you had the perfect background to this video already on! So happy to hear you enjoyed this little overview of Little India. The meal was delicious too. Always love seeing your comments!! ❤️
@@EileenAldis Hi... As a Singaporean myself i have been to that restaurant and enjoy the food there. Most of the time its always crowded. hahaha. How long will you guys be in Singapore?
@@sudheshkumar732 Glad to hear that! Always a good sign when a restaurant is crowded ;) Sadly we've already left Singapore but we still have many videos and Instagram stories to share!
Being an Indian, have travelled Singapore many times, try out hot and crispy tower dosa with dollops of butter, you guys will love it, love from 🇮🇳, currently located in 🇬🇧
Hello! Thanks for the suggestion! That sounds delicious. Whereabouts in the UK do you live now? That's great you've visited Singapore so much. What do you like most about it?
@@EileenAldis live in London now. Singapore is a true global melting pot inthe East, mostly in terms of food. Just like Little India, you should try to soak in the vibes and yummy cousine of Arab Street. The city is safe for the locals and the tourists. Singapore offers something for all the tourists - young and the elders. The public transportation is just bang on. The city has a nice balance of modern and classic architecture, and greenery with developments. One left to wonder how this small sleepy coastal town turned around in a span of half a century, isn't it!
When in Rome do what the Romans do. Both of you would have had the full experience of a good lunch, had you followed some of the locals dining at the Banana Leaf, that was eating without cutlery; instead with your hands. No one would have batted an eye, especially the staff. I have always done it in Indian restaurants in Singapore and is perfectly acceptable and encouraged. The restaurant does have sinks for patrons to wash their hands before and after the meal. One rule though, only use your right to touch your food and your left hand the serving spoon/s. Do it should you go again.
Hi! We were with a local at the restaurant :) Unfortunately not easy to eat with your hands when you're filming haha. Hopefully we can do that another time. Do you have a favourite dish at the Banana Leaf you'd recommend?
@@EileenAldis their dishes are all very good and it depends on what one feels like. I am impartial to their mutton(being goat's meat) and any one off their one off their menu will do. This meat needs to be cooked a certain way to bring out the best and they do justice to this meat. I am salivating as I am typing this reply.
Oh dear haha - if you've heard it before it's likely because creators are using the Epidemic Sound database as it's quite popular. Would love to hear what your favourite Indian music is.
Marc and I disagreed on which ice cream was best...what do YOU think sounds better: saffron or pistachio? 🍨
Dunno. I never had saffron ice cream and never liked pistachio ice cream. Send me some samples.😆
@@ianstuart8697 haha if only I could, Ian!
I love the sound of saffron...
@@toobydude41 It was my first time trying it and I knew I had to order it when the waiter said it... :)
Saffron. I would have it to follow 1] Veggie Biryani 2] Chicken Korma and 3] Chicken Madras
Eileen, I love watching your videos, your joy and enthusiasm is contagious. Love it, thank you! :)
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate hearing that ❤️
Singapore is one pretty exciting place, especially if you’re visiting Singapore for the first time.
It's really nice!

This was our first time and we absolutely loved visiting!

Guys, beautiful video, like always, I even smell spices in the Little India, beautiful place and food. Big hugs for you 😘😘
Thanks so much, Ewa! Happy to hear you can imagine the amazing spices too! 💕

Really, I did not know the benefits of banana leaf! Cheers!
Me neither! So cool to learn that added benefit.
U chose a great place! Love the meats and fish here :D
Thank you! We really enjoyed it. It was super busy over lunch hour too. Do you have a favourite thing to order here?
👍🙂👏🙋
👋😁
WOW Lovely South Indian food. Thaali Meals..
Hi! It was delicious ☺️
@@EileenAldis Lovely Dear
Oh I am so happy to watch this! I have Bollywed playing on the TV at the same time! I love the history lesson on Little India.
Sounds like you had the perfect background to this video already on! So happy to hear you enjoyed this little overview of Little India. The meal was delicious too. Always love seeing your comments!! ❤️
Hi..Thanks again for another video at little India.. The food choice looks awesome.. Trust you guys enjoyed the Indian food.
Hey and thanks for watching! We enjoyed the food and love Indian food for sure :) Have you been to this restaurant or have you heard of it before?
@@EileenAldis Hi... As a Singaporean myself i have been to that restaurant and enjoy the food there. Most of the time its always crowded. hahaha. How long will you guys be in Singapore?

@@sudheshkumar732 Thank you! Another new one on the way!
yummy !yummy !
Yes! This whole meal was delicious and the mango lassi and ice cream helped cool us down! Which dish looked best to you?
Love ur Vlog.
2:05>>> Not Pappadam. Pappadam is the crispy wafer kinda stuff probably in the basket.
Thank you! We put the name pappadam there because I said it but we don't have a closer up image to go with it :)
Those pots the ice creams were served in are soo cute!
Agreed! It was COLD and a little hard to scoop out but so worth it! Excellent way to cool down in the Singapore heat too 😁
It's kulfi indian ice cream
@@EileenAldis Kulfi is just that 😏

Tired of listening to this background song in every india related video or vlog. Its like there is only one song which was ever created in India
Oh dear haha - if you've heard it before it's likely because creators are using the Epidemic Sound database as it's quite popular. Would love to hear what your favourite Indian music is.
