THANK YOU FOR LOVING SINGAPORE MIKE! THANK YOU for not going to the tourist traps, and instead introduced all those food that we locals love! Also THANK YOU for getting all the food match-making right!
I could watch you review food alllll day. From your facial expressions, your vivid description of what you're eating to the production is fantastic. Keep it up!
As a singaporean, im sorry on behalf of the guy who shouted at you and told you to leave. Thats not a way a singaporean should act towards foreigners visiting singapore. So i am very very sorry mike. i hope u like it here in singapore😊✌
FIFA Syarzawan ....for all I know, that guy who shouted may not even be Singaporean as service providers in our eateries are now mostly foreign workers. Some of the service rendered can be truly atrocious.
Our hawkers are pretty scared about being filmed due to fears that it may be sabotage by competitors or that you are working undercover for the AVA. :D Even I, as a local, was once stopped near an eatery while photographing the neighbourhood, and he asked me am I from the AVA! ;)
That was not entirely the bus driver's fault. The guy was drunk and dropped his pants. The lady on board the bus that was monitoring the people entering asked him to leave. He then stumbled off the bus and fell and the rest is history. Both parties are to blame, if you think about it.
Hobbits' meal of the first 1/2 day: Breakfast - 7am. Second breakfast - 9 am. Elevenses - 11 am. Lunch - 1 pm. Mike's meal of the first 1/2 day: Breakfast - 7 AM Second breakfast - 8 AM Third breakfast - 9 AM Fourth breakfast - 10 AM Fifth breakfast - 11 AM Lunch - Noon This guy bring hobbits to shame.
I think to myself - it's late, I'm just gonna watch the thing, no eating... Then, not 5 minutes into the video I am munching on a bag of salted peanuts, with a chocolate bar sitting on the side just in case...
I watch it and think I have the munchies, what can I have? I have food allergies and there's so much I see on TH-cam I want to try, but I can't. The eggs are doing nothing for me, can just about stomach them, but snotty and so runny no way.
I love how accurate you were with all these! Especially with how you ate each item and how nasi lemak has a few basic items, everything else can be customised to how you'll like it! Lor mee is something most people forget about so thank you for featuring it! Glad to know you've enjoy our local food as much as we do!
IMO Singapore has the best food in the whole world! And I have travelled a lot, lived in Europe and in America now, but originally from Malaysia. I miss Singapore so much, my family lives there! Whenever I am back there, I seriously am ready for a few kilos weight gain! But all worth it!
Hey Mike, your videos just kept getting better and better! I can vouch as a Singaporean that you're 100% on point when describing why/how certain dishes are so delicious unlike some other TH-camrs who just kept moaning, nodding away and fail to communicate to the viewers. You are the real deal!
I live in that area (Yio Chu Kang/Jalan Kayu) and there are 4 famous prata restaurants here. Out of these 4, there's one that used to be the best (but is now the worst among the 4) and is famously proud of that fact. I have seen their employees scold customers so I imagine that's the one Mike went to. It's a good thing because these days, their prata is a small, ghee-soaked and pale version of the original.
But luckily Mike didn't let that spoil his day and ended up at Casuarina. That Prata champion in the kitchen is hilarious! I love the banana or onion prata at this place!
@The Stammering Dunce its a well known fact he travels with a companion most of the time thats holding his camera. And sometimes he ask a random person to hold his camera for him.
@The Stammering Dunce he mentioned it once..atleast. i have not watch all of his vids. But seen most of them. And he mentioned it once. Casually. He says something like asking strangers to film him when he is not travelling with somebody.
Mike, your unique combination of channels is like no one else's in the Tubesphere. Food, travel, conspiracies and world mysteries. It's like some of the dishes you eat. Seems a bit strange at first, but always worth coming back for more. 😁
I grew up in Singapore and miss the food so so much. I love Roti Prata. So so good. Favourite snack/ meal after school was Roti Prata and a small bowl of curry sauce.
Peranakans (male: Baba, female: Nyonya) (土生华人) are the descendants of Chinese Fujian migrants in the Malaysian region who have mixed with the local Malay population. They identify as Chinese and still hold on strongly to their Chinese roots in terms of culture. They're not a special indigenous race that brought foods over. They're Chinese people that applied Chinese cooking techniques on local southeast Asian ingredients. Edit: In any case, Nasi Lemak is a food of native Malay ethnic origin. That's a further error there. The Peranakans may have their unique take on it (such as the Nasi Lemak was linked to Nyonya in this video), but its historical origins should lie with the Malay ethnicity. BTW, big fan. Keep these videos coming please. :)
Carrot cake isn't radish that's been cooked till it's mushy and soft. It's basically shredded radish made into a steamed cake with added flour. The radish is just for flavour.
I really respect the heritage Peranakans have in SEA, however nasi lemak was not invented by them. Sure, there are many dishes the Peranakans made popular throughout SEA, nasi lemak just isn't one of them. That's a dish born out of the Malays and SEA, whatever cultures that might be ✌🏼
Nasi Lemak is definitely a Malay food. They are clever to cook rice with coconut milk and the Chilli sambal is perfect marriage to it. Definitely not Peranakan, folks.
@Fadzlina Majid @Adeline Gan thanks for the corrections. I merely followed up on his Nyonya link without thought. A quick google search has shown that you are likely to be right. Original post has been edited.
Nasi lemak brought over by Nonyas? I'm pure Nonya but I dont recall my late Nonya gran cooking this dish. I have always recalled it being a Malay dish. And that potato thingie in the nasi lemak is "begedil".
He is referring to that particular stall which named Mount Faber Nasi Lemak. It is a "Chinese" style nasi lemak. Not the original Malay style Nasi Lemak. Tsk!
Thank you for including the addresses of your amazing food stops. It really helps with planning! So far I have your spots in Singapore. Jakarta, Dubai, London and Lisbon on my list starting in January. Oh and Disney in November 😂
Ever tried chinese nasi lemak. The rice is just plain rice. Maybe the shop stingy on the coconut milk or maybe into healthy living. But honestly nasi lemak is not nasi lemak without the 'santan' (coconut milk).
bro I'm getting jealous 😅 u ARE enjoying ur Life by eating whole day and night,n u maintained ur body very well,n how could u eat all dis stuff,love ur videos bro❤️ keep making more videos🤘love from India🇮🇳
I love to watch your youtube channel because it makes me feels like i am watching AFC or Nat Geo People on my phone. Hihihi.... Hello from Indonesia!!!
I just pre-ordered your book! I have been watching your channel for a few years now and your blog is a go to for me for comforting vegan food. Thank you for all your hard work. I feel like I owed it to you to buy your book after years of free recipes!
you hit the singaporean trending tab, good job! normally i dont get attracted to this type of content but its nice to see content covering local things in general where the presenter / host isnt paid and doesn't make me want to cringe straight past my skull and into the next room :)
Yup! It possibly is! Actually their government has strict rules against littering and some heavy fines, and the citizens themselves care about not littering too
Nasi Lemak is a Malay dish and means 'Coconut Rice'. Malays are native to Singapore and Malaysia. Malay food is wonderful. Singapore is truly a food paradise.
for me, nasi lemak is all about the egg, the cucumber and the sambal. runny yolk and good sambal, one of the best thing on earth, then dip the cucumber in that sambal, one of the best salad.
Singaporean here. Your friends really are on point with the recommendations in terms of what to try. You really should thank them. Hope you enjoy(ed?) your stay!
Mike, this is one of the few videos featuring local food done by a foreigner that shows adequate respect and some discernment of the product. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Several things:1) Nasi Lemak is a Malay dish. The tofu you had on the plate was a Chinese concoction though (confusing, I know).2) The white pasta-y bits in the carrot cake was not radish, but made from a boiled solution of rice flour and water. The name carrot cake is the result of a literal translation of the dish's Chinese name into English (Luo2 Bo4 Gao1). Luo2 Bo4 refers to both radishes and carrots in Mandarin. The slightly salty bits you tasted in the dish were dried radish - hence the name. Your Lor Mee recommendation at Old Kallang Airport was entirely on point. I see no risk in affirming this in public and potentially destroying what I love, as the lines are already serpentine and keep out all but the most dedicated Lor Mee seekers.
When i was younger, we used to put pandan on steamed rice and it makes it more fragrant. Anyway, the best mee goreng is in kovan :) im also obsessed with the curred tofu in serangoon
It is so nice to see foreigners come and embrace and enjoy our country :) thank you for coming, for being such a gracious guest and for the great video ^-^ ♡♡
Hi Mike, I'm new to your channel & love it! You have such a passion for food it's addictive. I get hungry watching you eat! Have you ever consider being a food critic as a career? Look forward to more videos in the future :)
I never liked Lor Mee until I ate the one at Old Airport Road. Usual for me is $6 bowl with cut chilli but without vinegar. I can find a few Prata places where I wouldn't mind eating but none for Lor Mee. It's that good and unique.
Mickel Tee ...their selling point is using real fresh fried fish chunks and the slurry gravy is nicely balanced with spices and soy sauce. I have been eating their Lor Mee since 25 years ago and $2 can get me a substantial bowl with plenty of fish meat. To think now you have to pay up to $6.
Adeline Gan no argument there :) yes they increased over the years. 2 years ago a $5 bowl for breakfast could last me till dinner. Same portion increased $1 since then. The ladies - their memory power la. Take advance orders and never get them wrong 👍
I love all your channels and I think they should give u a spot on food network traveling around trying different food while giving information on those places you visit. Kind of like mixing together the two channels of your I watch together haha.
As a Singaporean, I'm glad you enjoyed breakfast here in Singapore! Your video really encapsulates the fact that being in Singapore, you have a wide variety of affordable food (not just breakfast) to choose from and still not be disappointed. Although I have to apologise on behalf of the stallowner of the prata place that shouted at you to leave, not sure what was the real issue behind it but I'm very sure no food stall owner will shoo any customer away here in Singapore, because we really like it when foreigners love our food. Make sure to try durians and the standard sugarcane drink at the hawker centres! It is a must not miss! Looking forward for your next visit here! :)
Mike you have to try black carrot cake with chili, it works really well with the sweetness! Maybe then you'll like black carrot cake more than white :D
The best thing for breakfast, at least back in 2006, was the roti prata that was hand made everyday in the hawker stall across from Farrer Road. Every Saturday we used to go get some and wait in the line, watching that man flipping the eggs into roti. Yesssssss!
Casuarina Curry sounds utterly fantastic and someplace I'd gladly go to scarf me some curry for breffix! You are making me want to go to all the places to eat all the things like you do, Mikey!
" Im always excited for a brand new day so I can eat again."

these are words to live by lol
3layah911 My thoughts before I go to bed. XD
When his breakfast is until lunch
truth
oohh damn
V
I want praise your parent, they have brought you up with such a positive out look on life. You are like kaya toast to starving viewers.
THANK YOU FOR LOVING SINGAPORE MIKE! THANK YOU for not going to the tourist traps, and instead introduced all those food that we locals love! Also THANK YOU for getting all the food match-making right!
Mike learns fast indeed. He lives to eat, remember?
It sounds like he asks locals for advice. More tourists should do that.
He went to Lau Pa Sat and Chomp Chomp earlier. So I guess you could say he did introduce some tourist traps. Still not too bad though.
I did LOVE singapore, what a beautiful city full of awesome people! I will be back :-)
i must find one weekend follow his breakfast itinerary
All throughout the video , im wondering how you could eat this much and still feel a little hungry. How I wish I have that superpower
But you would have to spend more money...
I don't think he ate everything alone
Ain't we all
Just be a fatass
I could watch you review food alllll day. From your facial expressions, your vivid description of what you're eating to the production is fantastic. Keep it up!
As a singaporean, im sorry on behalf of the guy who shouted at you and told you to leave. Thats not a way a singaporean should act towards foreigners visiting singapore. So i am very very sorry mike. i hope u like it here in singapore😊✌
FIFA Syarzawan ....for all I know, that guy who shouted may not even be Singaporean as service providers in our eateries are now mostly foreign workers. Some of the service rendered can be truly atrocious.
Adeline Gan lol dont try and defend a Singaporean if you're just gonna throw a foreign worker under the bus---it ain't cute b
Our hawkers are pretty scared about being filmed due to fears that it may be sabotage by competitors or that you are working undercover for the AVA. :D Even I, as a local, was once stopped near an eatery while photographing the neighbourhood, and he asked me am I from the AVA! ;)
where is the part when he is shouted????
That was not entirely the bus driver's fault. The guy was drunk and dropped his pants. The lady on board the bus that was monitoring the people entering asked him to leave. He then stumbled off the bus and fell and the rest is history. Both parties are to blame, if you think about it.
FINALLY! A video about singapore food done by a foreigner that doesn't make a local cringe :) good job!
Natural and honest description. I still don't believe this dude is hungry after a number of dishes 😱
I agree!!! Finally a video that hits all the hidden foodie gems!
He's also correct that the Lor Mee needs one hour wait(not exaggeration at all)
HE EATS SO MUCH
#stopspamming
All new updates about this game. shortlink.im/3eLkQ
Seeing how much u like our Singaporean food is so cool.
If you slurp the eggs straight from the plate, the Singapore government automatically makes you an honorary Singaporean.
HAHAHAH IKR!
yea slurp it ! i like with a steam meat bun then kaya toasts that will be perfect oh dont forget coffee(mix)
Just how i slurp my pussies.
Klinsen Soh you're supposed to eat the egg on its own
Klinsen Soh trUe
3:12 That guy in the back got us
LOL I just realize that. 😂
get this man a coat
Ah fckk he got mw
Hobbits' meal of the first 1/2 day:
Breakfast - 7am.
Second breakfast - 9 am.
Elevenses - 11 am.

Mike's meal of the first 1/2 day:
Breakfast - 7 AM
Second breakfast - 8 AM
Third breakfast - 9 AM
Fourth breakfast - 10 AM
Fifth breakfast - 11 AM
Lunch - Noon
This guy bring hobbits to shame.
And he's taller, too!
He's one of the tallest hobbits we've seen in Singapore. :-)
And 4th breakfast is only at 10 because he had to queue for an hour. Otherwise it would be at 9:15.
I was thinking that as he went to the 4th breakfast...lol Go Mike!
I think to myself - it's late, I'm just gonna watch the thing, no eating... Then, not 5 minutes into the video I am munching on a bag of salted peanuts, with a chocolate bar sitting on the side just in case...
w-who are you?! how do you know me??
I watch it and think I have the munchies, what can I have? I have food allergies and there's so much I see on TH-cam I want to try, but I can't. The eggs are doing nothing for me, can just about stomach them, but snotty and so runny no way.
almost 4am in singapore here
Sweet Peas n
Apollo 440 I'm also eating
You are so incredibly fun to watch! So entertaining so open to all kinds of food and so optimistic!!! Also, your ability to eat a lot is astounding!!
I love how accurate you were with all these! Especially with how you ate each item and how nasi lemak has a few basic items, everything else can be customised to how you'll like it! Lor mee is something most people forget about so thank you for featuring it! Glad to know you've enjoy our local food as much as we do!
love your descriptions and facial expressions. glad you love singapore :)
Ever seen Mark Weins?

That Prata establishment that chased mike away just made the biggest mistake of their life...
I live in that area (Yio Chu Kang/Jalan Kayu) and there are 4 famous prata restaurants here. Out of these 4, there's one that used to be the best (but is now the worst among the 4) and is famously proud of that fact. I have seen their employees scold customers so I imagine that's the one Mike went to. It's a good thing because these days, their prata is a small, ghee-soaked and pale version of the original.
intrinsical ayy Sg ! I live in Bedok resevoir😂
Care to reveal the name of the establishment so I can avoid this place next time I head down for prata? heh
But luckily Mike didn't let that spoil his day and ended up at Casuarina. That Prata champion in the kitchen is hilarious! I love the banana or onion prata at this place!
intrinsical do you mean Jalan Kayu Prata? i head that one was famous but the size of the prata decreased over the years and price also increase
You must be kidding me !! Did you really ate all this in one morning !!!
You're extremely naive if you think so.
dago you're extremely naive if you don't think so
@@dagowow you're the uninformed one here. Mike is known for his appetite.
@The Stammering Dunce its a well known fact he travels with a companion most of the time thats holding his camera. And sometimes he ask a random person to hold his camera for him.

Who ever handles you music edits/ sounteck is a beautiful amazing person. Great picks and brilliant edit

Sensei noticed me! 😺
I enjoy your narrative with each dish! Also...You seem to be very kind, I like that quality in people.
Mikey reminds me of the hobbits. " What about second breakfast?"
jrh0369 YAS A LOTR FANNN
That was 5 all in all though. Lol.
jrh0369 oh i misread it. At first i thought u said "mike reminds me of hobbits." i almost got offended there. Almost...
It all looks so good! I love that everyone is an "auntie", "uncle" or "grandma" in the Asian culture. Keep up the good work of eatin'
Tôi rất thích việc giữ vệ sinh môi trường của Singapore, nó rất tuyệt vời

Sabrina when was the yelling part?
I grew up in Singapore and miss the food so so much. I love Roti Prata. So so good. Favourite snack/ meal after school was Roti Prata and a small bowl of curry sauce.
I love how Mike is doing Singaporean food right. As a Singaporean, I'm very happy for him ✌🏻

Khinwee Pang thank you so much for clarifying!! Appreciate it a lot. And yes,nasi lemak is a Malay dish :)
You can bring some Kaya spread back. It is readily available in almost any convenience store :)
InfernoBeer Sambal chilli too!
Nasi lemak brought over by Nonyas? I'm pure Nonya but I dont recall my late Nonya gran cooking this dish. I have always recalled it being a Malay dish. And that potato thingie in the nasi lemak is "begedil".
I agree :)
I thought it was malay too. so confused when he said it was nonya lol
He is referring to that particular stall which named Mount Faber Nasi Lemak. It is a "Chinese" style nasi lemak. Not the original Malay style Nasi Lemak. Tsk!
Windsor Lim chinese style nasi lemak is very popular in singapore though
Thank you for including the addresses of your amazing food stops. It really helps with planning! So far I have your spots in Singapore. Jakarta, Dubai, London and Lisbon on my list starting in January. Oh and Disney in November 😂
Mikey you can eat!🤤🤤 I wanna eat too but here I am munching on veggies stick 😞😖 wish we had smellivision.
I always love your vids dude
I'm a simple man. I see a video uploaded by Mike, I click.
Jamie Eveler So you smash when other TH-cam's upload?
Mikey you managed to try ALL my favourite breakfasts! I'm a Singaporean studying abroad that's missing local food now more than ever 😂😭
This was actually much more entertaining that I thought it would be.
I'm a Singaporean who's overseas and your video is making me so hungry and homesick! :)
Yay! Casuarina curry! Very delicious prata I must say :) I enjoyed eating there as well
YAAAASSS FINALLY A MALAY FOOD! (Nasi lemak) 😍😍😍 You should try it at an authentic Malay stall next time!!!
Nadz A. Yeah I second that! Adam Road market!
Ohh yes!! Delicious nasi lemak 😋
Ever tried chinese nasi lemak. The rice is just plain rice. Maybe the shop stingy on the coconut milk or maybe into healthy living. But honestly nasi lemak is not nasi lemak without the 'santan' (coconut milk).
bro I'm getting jealous 😅 u ARE enjoying ur Life by eating whole day and night,n u maintained ur body very well,n how could u eat all dis stuff,love ur videos bro❤️ keep making more videos🤘love from India🇮🇳

Love from Singapore! If possible you should totally take the short trip into Malaysia as well, their food is just as incredible!
Fals3Agent. That is well said...both countries got their own good food👍👍
Your description of the eggs...
I'm dying. You're too good at this.
I just pre-ordered your book! I have been watching your channel for a few years now and your blog is a go to for me for comforting vegan food. Thank you for all your hard work. I feel like I owed it to you to buy your book after years of free recipes!

I've been told by people who have visited most of Asia,
Singapore is the cleanest city in Asia, ✅
Clean, Awesome and Innovative place it is
Almost too clean.....
Yup! It possibly is! Actually their government has strict rules against littering and some heavy fines, and the citizens themselves care about not littering too
Coming from a Singaporean here, I would say that Japan is MUCH cleaner. Singapore is getting dirtier nowadays.
Misty Violet, Republican. Yeah.. if you get caught littering they literally whip you.
Love it breadfast in. Singapore I,v eat there and coffee to go with the. Beautiful food thank you for sharing very good healthy food .
I'm watching you devour these delicacies, and I'm over here eating a peanut butter sandwich 😩😭FML!
Your Singapore videos are awesome! All that food look so good. It's great to see you having so much fun!
I spent a couple weeks in Singapore when I was younger. Loved the place and the people. I hope one day I can revisit it. Thanks for the nostalgia :D
LOL the guy in the background checking out the girls from 11:50-11:52
mysticstarlytes LOL
mysticstarlytes BUAHAHAHHA i bet he didn't know that camera was recording him and he is now on the internet forever
Such awesome videos 👍 keep it up
Nasi Lemak is a Malay dish and means 'Coconut Rice'. Malays are native to Singapore and Malaysia. Malay food is wonderful. Singapore is truly a food paradise.
Uh what, malays were in singapore even before stamford raffles (we ain't native m9 lmao)
please don't forget us Bruneians when talking about Malays
As a Singaporean, I FULLY RECOMMEND EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO ESPECIALLY THE LOR MEE! The hour long wait is DEFFO worth the wait!
my first ever video i have seen from this guy and the thing that i like most about him is that he has such a good additude
Thank you for sharing these amazing foods with the world dude, you rock!
I enjoyed this episode so much. You are simply amazing, Mike!
Hey mike, the Essence of nasi lemak is actually the rice and sambal.
Don't forget the anchovies.
I only eat the peanuts and sambal.
MrPopcorn .-. Your poop must be peanutty and your sphincter must have melted a while ago.
leo ll dude what is ur problem 😂😂😂
for me, nasi lemak is all about the egg, the cucumber and the sambal. runny yolk and good sambal, one of the best thing on earth, then dip the cucumber in that sambal, one of the best salad.

Besides the kaya toast, best thing I've had Ya Kun is the steamed bun with kaya and butter.
Mikey I don't know how you do it. I'm a fat man and I can't eat as much as you do. Keep the awesome videos coming.
THeKevinSOG I don't get it . How does it all fit in that tiny body ??
I'm so happy to constantly see you on trending. I'm glad your videos are getting noticed. You deserve it !
You can really eat. My goodness. So much for breakfast but I enjoy watching you eat. Makes me hungry.

Mickel Tee what the..any place selling lor mee is usually $4
DevilluTionisT gri Yes they start from $4....
Dude.. I'm watching this 1.39am in the morning Singapore time.. and dude!!! U just make me hungry again!
I love all your channels and I think they should give u a spot on food network traveling around trying different food while giving information on those places you visit. Kind of like mixing together the two channels of your I watch together haha.
He makes me feel happy that i live in singapore to enjoy all these food.

Yep, that's Singapore.
timebernerz that’s a little racist
@@desynk5798 nah it the truth tho
@@desynk5798 How is this racist? Singapore is constantly improving it's infrastructure. That's a defination of a world class city.
Amen brother
Travis Lim bruh how?
As a Singaporean, I'm glad you enjoyed breakfast here in Singapore! Your video really encapsulates the fact that being in Singapore, you have a wide variety of affordable food (not just breakfast) to choose from and still not be disappointed. Although I have to apologise on behalf of the stallowner of the prata place that shouted at you to leave, not sure what was the real issue behind it but I'm very sure no food stall owner will shoo any customer away here in Singapore, because we really like it when foreigners love our food. Make sure to try durians and the standard sugarcane drink at the hawker centres! It is a must not miss! Looking forward for your next visit here! :)
You are really good at finding food in Singapore. Good video for people like us who want to go to Singapore!
Nasi Lemak literally translates to Rice Fat :) Glad you enjoyed Singapore breakfast! My favourite is carrot cake, try it next time!
best food is food in the military
Mike you have to try black carrot cake with chili, it works really well with the sweetness! Maybe then you'll like black carrot cake more than white :D
Yes, with lots and lots of chili (always have to remind hawkers to put in lots of lots of chili for my food).
Frankly though, Old Airport road is sufficient because they have so many stores!
I never knew anyone who can tell a story about nasi lemak like this guy. I guess it isn't just some nasi lemak, for him it's like an orchestra.
I don't know why but I LIKE YOU ! YOU'RE A GREAT PRESENTER !
There is the ikan bilis , roasted peanuts, fried egg, chicken wing and the fragrant coconut rice with an otha
What about the cucumber!
There are cucumber here
I'm actually wearing the same tshirt but with Minnie Mouse on it! twinning~ p.s love your videos as always ^-^
Ash Carrot o
yay shirt buddies!
Strictly Dumpling shirt buddies!! 🙌
your breakfast is more than my two days meals 😂
The best thing for breakfast, at least back in 2006, was the roti prata that was hand made everyday in the hawker stall across from Farrer Road. Every Saturday we used to go get some and wait in the line, watching that man flipping the eggs into roti. Yesssssss!
Why do you eat, exactly like I do??? Watching your videos make me want to travel to Asia SOOOOO bad. A man after my own heart. I love what you do.
your reactions were adorable, i'm glad you loved the food 😂
Go get some chwee kueh!!!!!!!!!!!!
the best ones r from tiong bahru!! x
Haha you missed one awesome combination: Prata add curry + SUGAR. Party in the mouth. - Singaporean here
Jeremy Chan
Right!if I saw him I would have told him that too.
Now u make me crave for some...
Nowadays, virtually never saw anyone eating prata topped with sugar.
Jeremy Chan no wonder once in a blue moon I am given sugar with my prata.
I even add sambal + sugar on prata then dip in curry. awesomeness!
Michelle Tham yes I was served sambal at times with my prata
I was heading to bed & then I started watching this. I couldn't handle under cooked eggs. Everything else looks excellent!
Casuarina Curry sounds utterly fantastic and someplace I'd gladly go to scarf me some curry for breffix! You are making me want to go to all the places to eat all the things like you do, Mikey!
