We give you a tour of the serviced apartment we are renting. A serviced apartment (or service apartment) is a furnished apartment that you can rent for short- or long-term stays; serviced apartments are fully furnished and often provide typical hotel amenities (housekeeping, front desk services, a fitness center, and ours has a pool.

ABOUT US
We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children. We sold our home in Alaska, USA, eight years ago, and headed overseas. We are teachers and found fantastic teaching positions in Chennai, India. Two years later, we moved to the United Arab Emirates. Three years after that, during the beginning of the pandemic, we made the move to our current teaching jobs in Indonesia. We love traveling and finding adventures as a family. We hope that our travels will inspire and provide our children with the confidence to meet new people, try new foods, and enjoy learning a new language. We hope our vlogs will inspire you to get out and travel, too!

Why? It's like that???, no closing vlog about Philippines???? Please explain???
Hi Alfie, sorry about that rough transition! That's something we'll work to improve. Our family lives in Indonesia full time where we work as teachers in West Papua. We do batch filming during our school breaks. The Philippines was filmed during our winter school break, and Singapore was filmed during our spring school break, nine weeks passed from when we left the Philippines and started filming Singapore. During those 9 weeks in between, we were back in West Papua teaching at our small private school.
Kelly and I are discussing creating "day in our lives" vlogs here in West Papua. Would you have interest in watching something like that?
Yes please!
@@BagsPackedFamily Thats why im so confused about granite. He looks teenager now unlike your last video when you are in the philippines. Now i know why he became like that so fast.
@@BagsPackedFamily west papua should be independent nation
@@knightjustinsambajon5206 it’s amazing how fast they’re growing!
A note of correction. Singapore tap water is one of the safest in the world and you definitely can drink directly from the tap anywhere in Singapore.
Yes! Thanks for the correction.
❤❤❤ the best
I was from the Testing industry ~ Singapore control n maintain water networks very stringently.
All fittings are tested for heavy metal content prior to sale. “Gunmetal” fittings is not allowed. All the plastics/rubber parts within are tested for out gassing that assist bacterial growth. The test actual “sealed n locked” parts for 1 month b4/after for bacteria counts. All the water tanks must be washed annually and tested for portability b4 turn on for usage. All plumbers must be certified to held to accountability for buildings projects.
FYI ~ all food, fish,vegetables, fruits are tested for food safety b4 sales. All eating outlets like restaurants/fast food r regularly checked n swiped for food safety checks as internal controls. All food handlers are certified for proper food handling.
There r proper checks n monitors in place ~ however, there r cases where poor/bad practices occured and Gov shut down those places during enforcement. But generally, Singapore food safety is the best ensured in SE Asia.
@@angxiang3186awesome explanation 👍👍👍
@@slavenger82
Only those ignorants, uneducated and stupid would made such madness statements.
Do you know the poop is natural fertiliser for vegetables. And cow poop n camel poop are used for cooking for centuries.
Singapore is recognised as a model city for integrated water management and an emerging Global Hydrohub - a leading centre for business opportunities and expertise in water technologies. Even our closet neighbouring country/state buys Singapore treated water.
Cold Storage is notorious for being an expensive supermarket. If you stay Orchard point, you can pick up the same groceries from NTUC Finest at centerpoint (probably 30 plus percent cheaper) and good japanese meat/ groceries from Don Dondoki at Orchard Central which are both closer to Orchard Point than Paragon
Seems like this might be a CS + OPSA sponsored video?
Not always true. Cold Storage is cheaper than Fairprice for many items. You just assume that just because it is Cold Storage they are always more expensive.
Your family is so wholesome and specially all your kids are well mannered and gifted with good genes 😊👍🏻
watching forest grow up so well puts a smile on my face. He is just too cute and adorable.
i would love to see him on your upcoming videos! Goodbye!
I got a good question for you have you ever talked to Luke from the outdoor boys they're really good people and obviously you're really good people and you're both from Alaska now did you ever know them when you lived in Alaska I'm just curious and did you do you know of the Summers of Alaska they're good people also they have a TH-cam channel they're very good people also are you aware of them
When you eat the half boiled eggs, always add a little black sauce, a little pepper. Then stir the eggs. It will taste yummy and you can eat together with the bread.
This is the traditional way of eating for us locals.
If you find your coffee too sweet, tell the server to add less sugar and milk. Our way of drinking here….avoid diabetes.
Hi. For the eggs from YaKun, you may want to ask the staff for dark soya sauce + white ground pepper (complimentary). You just drizzle the soya sauce and pepper onto the egg and mix everything up. It will bring the soft-boiled eggs to another level. I enjoyed your video and your children are very beautiful. Good on you.
Thank you so much for the yummy suggestions!
@@BagsPackedFamilyit's not a suggestion. it's a must. 😅😊
@@fishonatic786 it's an order soldier !! lol
@@putrapetir9568 i Served the Blue. Not the Green but nonetheless half boil must eat with pepper and soya sauce. 🤣
Your family is so charming and humble and grateful for every little thing. Like many have said there are cheaper grocery stores with the same quality of produce nearer to you. Hope they surgery goes well!
KAYA TOAST:-
Kaya Toast is a classic Singaporean breakfast, especially when served alongside a cup of kopi and two soft-boiled eggs. An oldie but goldie. There is good reason for the sustained popularity of such a simple sandwich: the sweet, pandan flavours of kaya (coconut jam), salty pat of butter, and mouthfeel of white bread make quite an irresistible combination. Traditionally, kaya is served on thin, well-toasted slices of bread for a very crunchy, coffee dunk-able bite. However, there are many new renditions of Kaya Toast, usually swapping out the crispy toast for different pieces of bread: steamed, thick toast, french toast, and crackers. You get the gist. A great family doing great vlogging. Love ❤️ how well mannered your kids. Good luck with your wife appointment.
Interesting. Is this all vegetarian?
Could you tell me about the steamed bread it looked yummy.
The green color in the kaya jam is from pandan leaves which is like the local version of vanilla. You can taste the pandan taste more prominently in pandan chiffon cake that can be found at local bakeries such as Bengawan Solo cake shop that's in almost every mall in Singapore.
Great to see your kids trying different things
Wishing Kelly a speedy recovery on her surgery knowing how well she managed the injury I'm sure she will recover fabulously💕 Love your channel beautiful family ❤
Thank you so much for the good wishes! It means a lot to our family!
$3.50 for sausage bread at any bakery in Singapore is daylight robbery. To anyone watching this please go to any local bakery (many mrt stations not in the city area have them) and you can get them for $2 and under. Or sometimes even $1+ if you go after 6pm/near closing time
Loveee the grocery haul so much. My favourite activity for sure hahaha. And i love how involved the kids are in shopping as well
Welcome back guys! I've got a suggestion if you need fresh produce, meat & seafood included, at a much cheaper alternative ($700 at Cold Storage is STEEP! ) which is Tekka wet market and hawker centre. Its in Little India but ya'll need to travel a little bit. Maybe from your apartment you can walk to Dhoby Ghaut and take the NEL (purple line) train to Little India but with all the groceries ya'll can take a family Grab car or cab back to the apartment. The wet market opens in the mornings only but the hawker centre shld be open till late afternoon. Else, 111 Somerset has a small NTUC or alternatively a further walk away at Takashimaya, also has a supermarket at the basement. Orchard Central has DonDonki for anything Japanese if you need any.
I hope Kelly goes through a smooth procedure and may she have a quick recovery!
Thank you so much for the tips! We'll definitely check out Little India! Kelly is doing great!
Maybe next time I’d recommend FairPrice Finest for your grocery run.
@@mingzmings88 my grocery runs are like 200 a week max at NTUC. Fresh produce only. I have 4 kids and 3 adults in my home. I buy my meat at The Meatery only. But we rarely have steak.
@@mingzmings88 I don't even know what to say abt your assumption. 🤦🏻 Nvm I'll save my energy and mental sanity for smtg else. It's ok you win.
@@imanibrahim6268 doubt they will save much , your diet and them are different , those steaks are probably air flown premium , that why so expensive
the good point about your channel is that you make it so natural and not fake.keep it up...
Your lovely kids have grown up so tall since the last clip I watched a couple of months ago, enjoy your stay in Singapore ❤
Hello and Namesty Bag packed Family. Good to see you travelling around Singapore. Seems kids are enjoying very much. They are growing fast too. Happy to see you guys keeping well. Best of luck, stay safe and blessed.
i proudly welcome you to my beautiful homeland! i hope that you will have a enjoyable and relaxing journey.
keep up the good work . i love all of your videos.
Thank you so much!
aww! The youngest and cutest travel blogger in youtube Forrest! I love your travel blogs hope to see more videos of the Philippines soon!
Thanks so much, Mike! Forest is a natural!
Love all ur videos, always look forward to them…I luv it how when u walk by ppl, seeing cutie Forest puts a smile on everyone’s face🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
Forest reminds me so much of Joe from Modern Family! What a beautiful family. Wishing you guys a good time in Singapore 🤩
Hi, you should go to Little India (as suggested by some one earlier)where you can shop your grocery not only at the Tekka Wet Market but also opposite this wet market, there is a local well known supermarket , Sheng shiong, which offers very good value for your money! Well, you can try these places the next time when you and your family are here in sg!😉
After Manila, Now In Singapore. Wow... Paragon, Orchard Road
I often go there when I go to Singapore and it's a very famous traveling and shopping center there
do take the mrt to popular heartland areas like Tampines, Woodlands, Punggol. there's also interesting parks for kids like in Admiralty Park or Labrador Park.
Singapore groceries are in general expensive but the hawker food is affordable and really good. You can also take the small boat from Changi Village to Pulau Ubin. A lot of affordable and good food in Changi Village. U can take the train to Tanah Merah MRT and then bus number 2 to Changi Village - you won't get lost as it is the final stop. Love your vids!
You guys can try out the newly open bird park! Even as a local i heard its a nice place to visit, especially w kids!!
You are so blessed with woderful good kids ....love them all❤❤
Lovely family, Welcome back to Singapore!
Surprised & happy to see you all back in Singapore👏
Am a subscriber. Watched many of your videos . Enjoyed every one. Great family ! 3 well-behaved, intelligent children. Forest is more vocal now. Cute chap 😘 Granite & Cedar .. very supportive 👍
Jon & Kelly : wonderful parents 🤗
While you are still here, please try more local food like meesiam, mee rebus , mee soto, Indian rojak, etc etc …. some of which are vegetarian .
Thank you so much, Mandy, for your kind words and suggestions!
I literally love these family, ive been following this channel a year ago. Always watching every videos when its published. best regards fans from Indonesia ❤ God Bless your family sir Jonathan
Thank you so much! We are so excited for an upcoming trip to Java Island! Kelly and I are talking about creating some vlogs about our daily lives in West Papua, Indonesia. Would you have interest in watching something like that?
@@BagsPackedFamily yes absolutely sir. I cant wait for it 🙏 😍
Sending so much love from the Philippines! We love your vlogs a lot and are coming to Singapore this month so I was looking forward to your videos there! They arrived just in time! 🥰😍
Thank you for your channel membership! It means a lot to our family. I hope hope you enjoy Singapore. The Philippines was fantastic, and we are already thinking about another trip there. :-)
You have a beautiful family and you are a such a humble person. Wish you the very best in life.
Welcome to Singapore ! True that good quality groceries cost a bomb here. The local chain of supermarkets away from Orchard road like Fairprice and Seng Siong has firendlier prices. Have a great visit !
Thanks so much! In some future videos, we'll have to explore more local shops!
@@BagsPackedFamily Blessings to your lovely family. All the best to Kelly's full recovery ❤
Breakfast Yakun in the basement is fantastic and awesome cos the place is cool and calm not like steamy warm hot smokey crowded hawker centres
So kudos!
You have a wonderful family, hope you did enjoy your stay here.
So lovely that even Mum n Granite enjoy n smile to what Forest has to say at the end...i love each n everyone in the family. Hopefully Granite Cider n Forest will remain humble even if they turn to an adult.
Well, as long as they have them as parents, I am sure.. Sanskar bhi koi cheez hai 😂 in any condition this family has disrespected anyone across the world .
Thank you so much for your kind words of support! :-)
The half boiled egg need to be added with white pepper and soy sauce, then dip your bread which filled with kaya and butter. That’s is totally a new degree of food. You will be amazed. Try it next time please, highly recommended! 😊
Such a great parent and teacher 👍
I hope your are all happier with your stay in Singapore ! Keep Safe and always take care wherever you are ! God Bless 🙏 watching from Japan 🇯🇵
Thank you so much! Japan is definitely on our travel bucket list!
love to see u guy again in singapore ..cute baby they look so pretty handsome. nice house very expensive .. hope can stay longer time in Singapore make more video here .
Glad you are bsck with us 🎉🎉🎉
On the site that Paragon is located was once a grand supermarket called Fitzpatricks (60s thru 80s). It was a big deal. It was later acquired by the same company that owns CS Gold ( I may be wrong here as the history of the acquisition is a little fuzzy)... So yeah, that location has a history of wow supermarkets... a little location history there...
Really hoping that Kelly gets nutritious food, especially necessary after any operation. Dark eye circles means, being tired. I enjoy watching your videos, Family! Have Fun! When you have fun, we have fun watching more 😻
Try going to the supermarkets in the heartlands, such as NTUC Fairprice, Giant or Sheng Siong, it'll be much cheaper! :)
Welcome back! For a change of teaching destination, both you & Kelly can apply for teaching position at Singapore-American school. The salary is good. Little wobbly leg, Forest, has grown a lot taller.
It's amazing how fast they are growing, especially Mr. Wobbly Legs. Singapore American School is amazing! It would definitely be on our bucket list of places to work!
i shared your channel to my frens n they all love it...
Hi one tips on the Ya Kun u actually can put some pepper and soya sauce in the eggs and mix it together u can dip the bread after u mix it its the best combination im Singaporean by the way enjoyed your stay 👍
Love to see you do videos like day in our life vlog kind of a thing❤😊
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!
Wow!! Those Steaks Were Highly Expensive!! Never Imagined Groceries would be So Expensive !
Always Enjoy Watching The Family❤❤ Florida. I Feel I Am On Vacation Watching You All & Your Travels. Absolutely Love The Kids Kelly is Awesome!❤❤❤
Your Family Is Wonderful. Better Than Any Education.❤
Enjoy all yr videos!
I’m so addicted watching you guys😘
Hello there! I love watching your travelling videos 😆 not sure if anyone mentioned this, but you can add some dark soy sauce and pepper on the soft-boiled eggs to make it even tastier. Try it next time!
Thanks for the yummy suggestions! Next time for sure!
Lovely Dears.. Watching all now...
FOREST Super Hero Yellow.. RAINY and Humid..
if you're still here and u can see this, big tip for a good grocery hunt!!
opposite you is orchard Central mall and u can find Don Don Donki which is a GIANT japanese supermarket and u can find anything and everything from Japan and sold at reasonable prices, fresh and cooked food included!
if u walk past that mall along Killiney Road and not orchard Road, you'll actually end up at an NTUC, which is the supermarket where all locals shop at, that branch isn't the biggest but you'll find everything u need at cheap prices. it's located at orchard grand court
enjoy your stay and don't forget to add pepper and soy sauce to your eggs 🙂😊
Thank you so much for the helpful information! On the kids channel, @bagspackedkids, they have a video coming soon from Don Don Donki!
Here's a tip how to get the best of half boiled egg.. Put half teaspoon of salty or sweet soy sauce.. Malaysian prefer salty soy sauce and then just add small amount of white pepper.. After that mixed them well and u can dipped it with toasted bread or steamed bread..
Thanks for the yummy suggestions!
Welcome back to singapore. Selamat datang 🇸🇬
Hello welcome back to Singapore. Just an input at Ya Kun Kaya Toast, the half-boiled egg are supposed to add with sweet soy sauce + pepper n dip it with the crispy kaya sandwich bread. Love watching the backpack kids video and cutie Forest. 🙏🏽
the soy sauce is not the sweet type😁
Thank you so much for your support, mamboy72!
Wooh your no longer in Ph but you will always meet Filipinos around the globe your an educator now i know why your childeren are so smart .
the only things that are expensive in singapore are the apartment and cars, the food are quite reasonable compare to country like korea,japan and western country but the area you stayed in is orchard so it's expected to have higher prices because all the rich people stays there
Nice to see your back in Singapore
It's great to be back!
You can also request for less or no sugar/milk in your coffee/tea in any drink stall👌
Welcome to Singapore! You arrived at a super hot time of the year haha😅
Welcome Back!😊
Love this family so much
Beautiful family 💞
What a happy family. God bless u all 🙏
You can try Don Don Donki for Japanese food and groceries too!
Watching Forest speaking more now is making me happy. And that "so many entities" part is so funny -- he is possessed into not sleeping. hahaha
He is such a funny little guy! :-)
By the way, you can ask for coffee without sugar or less sugar
Next time you guys can come and visit to sabah ( borneo) and try our local and traditional food. You must try the smoked wild boar 👍👍
That apartment is kinda nice and cool to hangout. Well that's load of grocery 😂 and good dinner. All three kids are amazing as always. Great children and you both are great parents too.
Hey Jam Rock Jr! Thanks for watching!
@@BagsPackedFamily you're most welcome. I was away for some work I didn't get to see the past 2 weeks so yeah gotta do some catching up on your vids. 😂 I'll never miss your videos. Thank you for making awesome vids with your family.
love this video! and I love forest he's so cute XD
Welcome back to Singapore! It's a good time to visit the Zoo as the bird park was recently relocated to the Mandai Reserve area. You can visit all the wildlife parks at one go.
Thank you so much for your suggestion!
Welcome back 🎉🎉
The kaya toast half boiled eggs should eat with a dash of soya sauce & pepper.
Thanks for the yummy suggestion!
Hi guys missing u all from here in nepal mostly being in mountain...enjoy ur time Singapore
Thank you so much! We're thinking about another trip to Nepal later in 2023! :-)
@@BagsPackedFamily that would be wonderful. can't wait to see the kids
Nice.Thankyou
Welcome to Singapore🇸🇬. A nice family w a pretty daughter and cute | good looking sons. Here we have many delicious local delicacies y’all can take your time to try it all. Btw 11:08 you can order kopi o, which means black coffee, it’s not sweet at all. More to learn & explore …. 😂
Kopi O kosong is not sweet 😂
@@P53eud0nym05 Oh yup 😂 I forgot the word kosong but o is bitter too & I hate it, let’s not say kosong😅
love your cute kids...
Nice and lovely couple. Well behaved and beautiful kids. I wonder if they missed their schooling back in the states. Shout out to Forest, so cute😊
Hi Rico. Interestingly enough, our kids have never attend school in the USA. We left back when they were very young (3 and 1). We've lived in India, Dubai, and now are located in Indonesia. Kelly and I are both International school teachers. :-)
@@BagsPackedFamily
That’s so awesome. You’ve raised excellent kids. My wife and I enjoy
watching your blogs most especially your Philippine series.
We are Filipinos living in the states for 3 decades now. We feel like we’re home just by watching those series. Keep up your good work featuring unique cultures of the world. 🇺🇸🇵🇭
Awesome video love you all❤
Thank you!
No idea service apartments were a thing...good to know 👍
Was in Singapore for a few days in March and ended up finding that ice cream guy in the park you guys visited!
Hey Andrew! That's so cool. Did you get the durian ice cream?
@@BagsPackedFamily it was a toss up, but I'm a sucker for chocolate! Sometimes theres durian at the festivals in Tokyo, I don't actually mind it!
We love air bnb. During Covid lockdown we had staycations at local (under 3 hours drive from Sydney) airbnb since we couldn’t go overseas. We booked some beachfront mansion or houses with own jetty. It was around $1200 per day, not expensive when there were three couples to share. Also stayed in airbnb in Hongkong. Nice apartment at convenient locations. No more hotels for us when travelling.
Correction. Singapore Tap water is the safest in World. Singapore's tap water is well within international guidelines set by the World Health Organisation, as well as the United States Environmental Protection Agency's drinking water standards. It is suitable for drinking without further filtration or boiling. It is treated with chlorine, fluoride and sodium hydroxide as a disinfectant which are added at the point of production. However, you can always boil or treat the water with ease of mind.
Welcome to Singapore
700 Sing $ !!! In my memories, you can eat every day in wonderful hawker centers, with a wide range of food, for less than the half…and you don’t have to cook and clean after….
the soft boiled egg, u got to add in a little bit of pepper and soy sauce ...
Welcome back to Singapore, half boil egg put abit of dark soyasauce and pepper mix with egg dips your kaya bread 😅
Half-boiled eggs eaten with sweet black soy sauce plus pepper, are more tasty !
Hi
During this week hope u hv chance to visit the new bird park call Bird Paradise opening 8 May.
Btw, if u mix the half boil eggs with some light soya sauce n mix with the toasted bread b wonderful too
Have a good time in Singapore n best follow up on the surgery.
I'm Singaporean who is living in South Carolina USA now for about 2 years.
The place you went to buy your groceries is expensive 😬
It's cheaper if you are living in rental flat in the housing estate 😊
How sad you don't even have goodbye vlog to Philippines we will be missing you guys staying in the philippines
Thank you so much! We'll be back! :-)
Hyy guys really enjoyed your vlogs ❤️
Thank you so much!
Awesome family
Forrest.. the cutest kid ever!!
Dipping the bread into the eggs should combine with the black sauce and pepper
The Kaya Toast shop should have given you the soya sauce n pepper for your half boiled eggs which have to be mixed fine before slurping it up.The eggs are never consumed without those additions.😅
Dark soy. Light soy with half boiled eggs is an abomination 😂
omg i didnt know u guys were back in sg!!!
after i see kaya butter, i also went to make in my kitchen lololololololol its something very commonly found in Singapore homes
This vlog was different and nice 👍
Thanks, Praveen. We're thinking about incorporating some "daily living" vlogs from were we live in West Papua, Indonesia. Would you have interest is watching something like that?
That would be great
Hi Johnathan and family.. welcome to singapore.. me and my brother loves forest so much.. (fans of forest) 😂😂😍😍 such a cutie baby.. we would love to bump with your family is singapore in future.. 🙏🫰
And speedy recovery to your wife..
