Hey, if you're coming back to singapore and more interested to explore more heartland spots rather than the usual touristy food spots, let me know! I don't mind hosting for a private tour for free as a collab!
I love that you guys did both research and keenly observed how locals would order/eat!!😆 That’s actually pretty smart! After watching many vlogs, I realised that a lot of tourists miss out because they didn’t do adequate research nor observe what the locals do…🥺
nice video promoting local street food . more videos like in this in near future . looks tasty and delicious hope to visit there someday and try your country street food .
That 3 coloured drink is basically tea or coffee with evaporated milk and gula melaka (coconut sugar syrup). Coconut syrup is already sweet so that won't be condensed milk as it would have been ultra sweet. Because you ordered teh halia (which means ginger milk tea) and you asked for the 3 colour drink as well, she assumed you wanted the tea option too. Appam is made from fermented rice (hence the sourish taste). That roast stall is super popular. You see people queuing before they open and they are preparing bulk orders behind the shutters lol. The guys are very friendly even to locals :) That soy sauce is usually made the "drippings" of the char siew as they roast and they will add other ingredients.
Oh wow! Thank you so much for all the info! Teh halia is a new favourite, it’s absolutely delicious - we are so pleased we got the tea version of three colour drink, but next time we’ll have to try the coffee one - that also sounds yummy! 😍
try teh halia from indian drinks vendors next time. As theirs would taste stronger and more authentic. Like those at Tekka hawker centre in Little India. You see them using real crushed fresh ginger.@@2Passports1Dream
@@2Passports1Dream adding onto what simplyme3306 said, the tri-colour from evaporated milk and gula melaka mellows out the coffee, so it is perfect for someone who is not too into coffee. There has also been a trend recently where I see coffee being made with coconut water, which also mellows out the coffee a lot. Being a mix of culture, we also have other really great drinks (although you might also find it in neighbouring countries) like bandung (rose syrup with evaporated milk) and calamansi (a type of lime) with (preserved) sour plum to name a couple off the top of my head.
Lao Ban Beancurd is really popular in Singapore! they have many outlets! Good choice! i love the layer on top that has a nice texture to go along with the silky softness of lower layer!
@@2Passports1Dreamexactly!! This was what i had for many years, and still my favourite up till now! Mom would buy both the beancurd and the drink every now and then ! Their almond flavoured one is nicer in my opinion!
Milky broth fish bee hoon is a banger that tourists tend to overlook, but locals know it’s as good as some of the more well-known foods! It actually kinda reminds me of Cullen skink (also delicious).
@@2Passports1Dream well done for eating in Singapore surprised you haven’t tryd faffles with the amount of money your making what’s next Brixton for a bit of carabean food
Love this tour through the food stalls, with all the lovely dishes, nice people, surely amazing smells and sounds as well! Thanks for bringing us along and sharing your happy vibes again :-)
Härligt att ni valde Maxwell! Har besökt detta HC sedan början av 90-talet och har aldrigt blivit besviken. Det var egentligen min far som tipsade om detta Foodcentre som han besökt redan i början på 60-talet, så det har några år på nacken 🤓 Tian Tian är kanske lite överreklamerat men det finns mycket annan god mat där som ni visar i vloggen. Gott nytt 🥳🎉🥳
Just found your channel. Great videos. Makes me want to fly to Singapore now 😁I am from Indonesia, been to Singapore uncountable number of times. Greetings from Colorado, USA.
Skip the chicken rice at Maxwell 😅 over rated by a western chef , not a local favourite 😂 Chin chin at Purvis Street next to raffles hotel, or at the basement of an lost in time mall - Golden Mile Tower at beach road . Both within the city area.
Appam is a South Indian cuisine mostly regular in Mangalore (from Karnataka) and Kerala.. the batter is prepared with rice, coconut milk, and Yeast (improves fermentation of the batter & gives that fluffy nature to it). You are right it’s mostly savoury goes best with good fish or chicken curry or black chickpea curry. You guys should come down to South India to try this in this authentic form.. it’s my favourite just like you both ❤️🤗 soooo much love to you guys from Bangalore ❤️
I visited Maxwell Hawker Centre during my first trip to Singapore. Even though I wanted to sit inside the building in the middle of the hustle and bustle, the temperature was just too hot. Sitting at the outside tables was definitely the way to go!
@@2Passports1Dream do note that Heng Heng Ondeh-Ondeh and Tapioca Cake is closed on Sundays. Best to go on Wednesday or Thursday at around 9.00am, where they have the most items available. They will close around 12pm so be sure to buy before they close. The stall owners start preparing at 3am and open their stall from 7am to 12pm
Thank you!! 😍 it’s one of our favourite things about travelling - being able to try new foods and drinks! 😍 we amaze ourselves every day at what’s out there that we’ve never usually even heard of!
Another tip Teh Halia is best enjoyed when bought from an Indian Stall that also sells Teh Tarik. The reason is that they brew their Coffee (Kopi), Tea (Teh) and Ginger Water (Halia) from scratch. Such stalls will have an elaborate metal tank system with 3 separate columns with taps for the Kopi, Halia and Teh. A fourth tap is included for dispensing hot water, which can be heated by electricity or by a gas flame. I just wanted to let you know that the stall that you ordered the Teh Halia from used Instant Ginger Tea Powder that comes in a packet and is already sweetened with sugar.
@@2Passports1Dream you can try ordering a teh halia tarik at an Indian Stall next time. Do note that Teh Tarik uses condensed milk, so it will be very sweet. If you don't want condensed milk, just order 'Teh Halia C' instead. Evaporated milk will be used instead of condensed milk.
There are few types of apam in Malaysia, one of them like you said is apam balik, fold pancake. Apam could also be steamed cake or cupcakes. Once in a while, I like to make apam pisang, steamed banana cake, sprinkle with fresh grated or shredded coconut.
just an interesting note for you on why they add milk to the fish beehoon soup, the milk was originally to make the soup look thick and white like its boiled for a long time with fish bones.
Even though I don't live in Singapore, it's always a joy to see how tourists like both of you enjoy our hawker food. Just one little tip, if I may: Before using your plastic cutlery, it might be a good idea to avoid placing it directly on the tables as they can potentially accumulate germs. We want your dining experience to be fantastic, so this small precaution might help.
What an amazing tour of the food stall but the best bit was when Adriana said I'm pretty full already --- oooh as she walked up to the Crepe shop, so funny anyway Happy New Year to you both and I hope 2024 brings you Peace, Love and Happiness
The sweet beanccurd you guys were eating have different names in many places. It is origined from China. Douhua, Taiwan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian; in northern China, douhua refers exclusively to sweet variants In Fujian, brown sugar is added to sweet Douhua, while salted Douhua is flavored with dried radish, fried garlic, cilantro, dried shrimps, etc. In Taiwan, beans such as mung bean, red beans, and peeled peanuts are usually added, as well as soy milk, fruit, or taro balls. Doufuhua 豆腐花 Southern China, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore In Hong Kong and Macau, brown sugar, sweet-scented osmanthus syrup, and ginger juice are usually added to Douhua. Chili oil or powder is normally added to it in southwest China. Doufunao 豆腐脑 North China, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, Shanghai, Zhejiang Northern doufunao (lit. "tofu brains") are often seasoned with "salted stew", and Henan people usually eat it with local snacks. Tofu brains in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are generally salty tofu brains like the northern ones. People in Hubei and Anhui also call it as tofu brain, but tofu brain in Hubei is generally added with white sugar, which is the sweet version. Laodoufu 老豆腐 Tianjin In Tianjin cuisine, Northern-style savoury "tofu brain" is a common breakfast item known as laodoufu (old tofu). Doufusheng 豆腐生 Taizhou, Zhejiang Sweet Douhua there is topped with syrup and some sweet-scented osmanthus; the salty one is topped with mustard tuber, seaweed, spring onion, etc. Nendoufu 嫩豆腐 Hubei In Hubei, people call spicy Douhua "silk tofu."
Congratulations to you guys for heading Singapore 6 days ago in 2023-2024 to shows these amazing places & Landmarks 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE your amazing videos from across Southeast Asia 2024❤❤❤
I think about thag place all the time. The best food ever. I had a gude showing me around. Best Chendol I had at SEA. That coconut pancake in Malaysia was the best ever too.
next place chinatown.. make sure you try the poh piah by chinatown among others that you can try at Chinatown hawker Center. The apam that you tried before is call "chinese pancake" - mee jiang kueh in most hawker center. You should try nonya pastry (kueh) in many places.
oh you are in paya lebah.. there is a hawker center at old airport road that has very very good food. Enjoy. Also the east coast parkway hawker center is on the green MRT line also @@2Passports1Dream
@@2Passports1Dream We have lots of different drinks to combat the heat, but always try to order the option with less sugar 😂 I normally go for the cold oolong tea with no sugar.
There's two variations of teh halia (ginger tea) or any hot drinks really, you get the chinese style from the Chinese drinks stall or the indian style from the indian drinks stall.
You need to take melatonin when you time travel. We do a 14 hour time change from Canada to SE Asia and melatonin really helps. You need to get out in the sun immediately on arrival. Take melatonin at your new bed time. To be honest for us coming back to Canada travelling eastward is harder than going westward to SE Asia. Getting some sleep on the plane really helps. Stay healthy and enjoy!
I'm going to SG at the end of February, what was the name of the place where you got the Char Su pork and duck, tried to look thru the comments and couldnt find anything.
U missed a very interesting n important site thats just next to Maxwell Hawker center, the URA City Gallery, about Singapore land use planning, master n concept plan, past, present n future, .. Safe travels.
Think your last dessert is similar to silken tofu, perhaps sweetened and flavored. I used to make nice desserts from silken tofu , enjoy seems your having a great time. ❤
3 layers should be gula melaka, a type of sugar. Appam, naturally fermented rice flour batter made into pancakes. 😊 come again next time, and visit Some satay store
FYI, if you don't want to wait in line for Tian Tian, then check out Ah Tai. Ah Tai is operated by Tian Tian's ex-chef, who had a falling out with the daughter of Tian Tian's owner when she took over. Some locals like Ah Tai more.
I’m sorry if you have ever answered this question before. You said you are vegetarian but eat fish, do you mean you are a pescatarian. Also recently saw your Australian content and you stayed at the Brady’s hotel 50 meters from my work. Glad you enjoyed Australia 😊
The Vietnamese lady running the appam stall did not know she was applying for a stall designated for Indian food. She had wanted to sell Vietnamese food instead. When she got the stall and was told she was expected to sell Indian food, she was quite dismayed but went out to learn and did very well for herself.
@@kamariahabdrahim6963 There is a certain balance, I think, to be maintained in hawker centres. Certain stalls are reserved for certain foods. Although I do find it strange that in certain hawker centres, there are only one or two stalls selling Malay or Indian food. Not very balanced.
@MelvinSimKH Is this legit? Do you have a fact? Could it be the Vietnamese food that she wants to sell is not permitted in Singapore ( Insects consumption? ) certain foods.Singapore has a stringent regulation on food safety and health. Factsheet On Insect regulatory Framework from Singapore Food Agency.
I just wanted to let you know that some hawker stalls selling Sliced Fish Bee Hoon Soup might ask if you want milk in your dish. If you want, they will add evaporated milk inside. These stalls use the evaporated milk as a shortcut to give the soup a milky appearance. However, there are other stalls that don't add milk. These stalls have the best Fish Soup because they deep fry the meat and the bones, then add water to boil it into a soup. Such a soup has got a milky white colour without the need for milk. I will recommend you to try the Fish Soup from Tang Kay Kee Fish Head Bee Hoon at Hong Lim Market and Hawker Centre. They do their fish soup the deep fry and boil method
I would describe it as seafood-briny. The soup base is usually pre-boiled using bittergourd, fish bones, shaoxing wine, & I think also ginger & scallions. A slice of tomato is usually added during actual cooking, & the fish slices themselves (Batang Fish/Spanish Mackerel) are also mildly sweet & very delicious when fresh. But the resulting broth is not sweet for some customers, & so they would ask to further add evaporated milk. Very flavourful either way, like family-recipe comfort food. I love it with white rice, plus a chilli padi-soy sauce dip as condiment of course.
So difficult to find a good glass of 3 layered tea or coffee in Malaysia not sure about Singapore, white colour usually are condensed milk and the black colour is coconut sugar syrup.
@@2Passports1Dream u should try a few more time but for me the main character in 3 layer tea was the coconut sugar syrup because very few use pure coconut syrup which will have so much flavour in it

Another tip
Teh Halia is best enjoyed when bought from an Indian Stall that also sells Teh Tarik.
The reason is that they brew their Coffee (Kopi), Tea (Teh) and Ginger Water (Halia) from scratch. Such stalls will have an elaborate metal tank system with 3 separate columns with taps for the Kopi, Halia and Teh. A fourth tap is included for dispensing hot water, which can be heated by electricity or by a gas flame.
I just wanted to let you know that the stall that you ordered the Teh Halia from used Instant Ginger Tea Powder that comes in a packet and is already sweetened with sugar.
Oh noo! It was still so delicious 😍 next time we will have to have a proper one!!

Ooo thank you for the recommendation 😍
I am so happy you figured out the way to use the spoon and fork the ASEAN way!
The only right way!! 😍
One needs to mix the grated coconut and sugar, so can be aet using appam as flat bread. Similar to Tanpola in Mangalore India.

Thank you! We purchased some melatonin because our bodies were completely upside down 😂 the worst case of jet lag we’ve had in a LONG time! 😅
Chicken rice chili garlic sauce is the best part of chicken rice. Glad you also tried Char Siew rice
Absolutely delicious food 😍😍
I'm going to SG at the end of February, what was the name of the place where you got the Char Su pork and duck, tried to look thru the comments and couldnt find anything.
The hawker centre is maxwell and the place is called Fu Shun Shao La Mian Jia! Enjoy 😃
@@2Passports1Dream thank you 🙏🏽
Aww I miss Singapore 😢
Aww ❤️ it’s such a wonderful place!
From this old boy from Perth Down-Under;
Thank you for sharing your video vlog awesome ....2/03/2024
1:24 Adriana says : because its chicken meat, i don't eat meat.
4:48 Shows Adriana eating a slice of fish meat.
🤔.....😲.....🤤....🍜......😋
Hahaha I am pescatarian most of the time in Asia as it’s easier, I meant the rest of meat 😅
U missed a very interesting n important site thats just next to Maxwell Hawker center, the URA City Gallery, about Singapore land use planning, master n concept plan, past, present n future, ..
Safe travels.
Fish soup should added with milk n rice wine delicious 😋🍲
Tea Harlia which is Ginger tea from our Tamil drink stalls
Would recommend to try wobbly dessert like item here in India made from first milk of Cow n Buffalo.
Your pronunciation of Lao Ban is spot on.
Wohoo! 😍
Quiet convenient! Using English is common in Singapore. Felt at home, except very warm all year around. Enjoy!
Oh yes, it’s very welcoming 😍🙏🏼
There's also Apam Balik in Singapore.
Amazing 😍
@@2Passports1Dream In Indonesia its called Martabak Manis or Apam Manis.Manis mean Sweet.
Think your last dessert is similar to silken tofu, perhaps sweetened and flavored. I used to make nice desserts from silken tofu , enjoy seems your having a great time. ❤
Oh yes, so delicious! 😍 I can only imagine how that would incorporate perfectly into desserts! Thank you 🤗 we are!
Welcome to Singapore!
Thank you!! 😍😍
3 layers should be gula melaka, a type of sugar. Appam, naturally fermented rice flour batter made into pancakes. 😊 come again next time, and visit Some satay store
The observation that Appam has a sour (lactic?) taste reminds me of sourdough youtiao/ pancakes. Similar concept.
You need to try Prawn Noodle soup! Its super good
😍😍
FYI, if you don't want to wait in line for Tian Tian, then check out Ah Tai. Ah Tai is operated by Tian Tian's ex-chef, who had a falling out with the daughter of Tian Tian's owner when she took over. Some locals like Ah Tai more.
oooooh interesting, thank you for sharing that!
If the food goes into your mouth, then you're doing it the right way 😂😂😂 you are a star hon🔥
Hahahaha it’s too true 😂😍
Singapore and Malaysia have the most yummy food and its cheap in comparison to Thailand. We need to visit again.
Absolutely fantastic food (although we have to say, Thai food is our all time favourite hah!)
I’m sorry if you have ever answered this question before. You said you are vegetarian but eat fish, do you mean you are a pescatarian. Also recently saw your Australian content and you stayed at the Brady’s hotel 50 meters from my work. Glad you enjoyed Australia 😊
Yes usually pescatarian when in Asia, as a lot of things have fish sauce or seafood in them! 😀 I usually try to have vegetarian when it’s an option! 🥰
The orange colour sauce is garlic chilli sauce fyi.
Delicious 😍
The Vietnamese lady running the appam stall did not know she was applying for a stall designated for Indian food. She had wanted to sell Vietnamese food instead. When she got the stall and was told she was expected to sell Indian food, she was quite dismayed but went out to learn and did very well for herself.
How is that she can't sell vietnamese food? Is there a rule?
Oh that’s so interesting!
@@kamariahabdrahim6963 There is a certain balance, I think, to be maintained in hawker centres. Certain stalls are reserved for certain foods.
Although I do find it strange that in certain hawker centres, there are only one or two stalls selling Malay or Indian food. Not very balanced.
@MelvinSimKH Is this legit? Do you have a fact? Could it be the Vietnamese food that she wants to sell is not permitted in Singapore ( Insects consumption? ) certain foods.Singapore has a stringent regulation on food safety and health. Factsheet On Insect regulatory Framework from Singapore Food Agency.
I just wanted to let you know that some hawker stalls selling Sliced Fish Bee Hoon Soup might ask if you want milk in your dish. If you want, they will add evaporated milk inside. These stalls use the evaporated milk as a shortcut to give the soup a milky appearance.
However, there are other stalls that don't add milk. These stalls have the best Fish Soup because they deep fry the meat and the bones, then add water to boil it into a soup. Such a soup has got a milky white colour without the need for milk.
I will recommend you to try the Fish Soup from Tang Kay Kee Fish Head Bee Hoon at Hong Lim Market and Hawker Centre. They do their fish soup the deep fry and boil method
Is the soup a little sour ?
I would describe it as seafood-briny. The soup base is usually pre-boiled using bittergourd, fish bones, shaoxing wine, & I think also ginger & scallions. A slice of tomato is usually added during actual cooking, & the fish slices themselves (Batang Fish/Spanish Mackerel) are also mildly sweet & very delicious when fresh. But the resulting broth is not sweet for some customers, & so they would ask to further add evaporated milk. Very flavourful either way, like family-recipe comfort food. I love it with white rice, plus a chilli padi-soy sauce dip as condiment of course.
Thank you for the information! The milky creamy broth was incredible! Felt like the perfect meal for a sore throat haha 😍
2:14 wow its already 6 dollar for chicken rice ah walawe
So difficult to find a good glass of 3 layered tea or coffee in Malaysia not sure about Singapore, white colour usually are condensed milk and the black colour is coconut sugar syrup.
Hehe it was super yummy in our books, but we have no comparison since it’s our first time trying it! We’d definitely buy it again!
@@2Passports1Dream u should try a few more time but for me the main character in 3 layer tea was the coconut sugar syrup because very few use pure coconut syrup which will have so much flavour in it
one learning Thai and one learning Mandarin can go a very long happy way
Will you come to Thailand?
Definitely!! Soon 😍
You don't actually put the chilli into your food that will be too overwheming. It's actually used as a dip for your chicken or fish.
Hehehe I like it spicy 🌶️
Not true. Its upto indivisual's taste.
Such a shame seeing how many of the hawkers have closed down over the years. Thanks for promoting these guys!
They’re amazing and they really feel like much of the soul of Singapore, from what we’ve experienced! 😍
Happy 2 c u back

Believe me, don't ever rest your utensils on the tray or the table, if you do not want an upset stomach.
The ginger helps remove the fishy smell. 😊
