I am an Indian and was working in Singapore between 1999 to 2007. During lunch time my Indian colleagues used to visit only Indian food stalls but I used to die for Singapore chinese food. I have tried every chinese local dish. I got so accustomed to tofu and shitake mushroom and even till today I have them in india.
@@Ealsante The ingredients of each are different to be compared, tofu from soybean milk and Paneer from dairy product. The texture and taste are definitely different, maybe the restaurant he mentioned also served tofu dishes? Why r u assume he's mistaken between two dishes?
I am another "short timer" Singapore resident - only 3 years and I still miss Singapore - even though it's very different to my home of Scotland. I loved hawker food and once I got over the British "fear" of buying street food from stalls and realised the quality and taste for the money - I was hooked. maxwell was my local hawker place and I had food from there at least a couple of times per week. Loved the video and it's great to see more hawker places being recognised by the Michelin guide. Some of my best food in Singapore was like S$5 or less!
I lived in Singapore for middle school and I miss that place more than words can describe. Singapore made me a foodie 100%. If anyone gets the chance to go, do it! Best place I've ever been.
Thank you for bringing all this great Asian cuisine in yet another amazing video. All the places you visit are on my bucket list. So far I have only managed the Buc-ees in Texas, that video was a while ago. Keep up the great work.
bro singapore has the best street foods..those hawker centers were so cheap n yumy...back then 1998-2003 dishes cost btween 1.50 and 3 singapore dollars
Have no idea how you eat SO much! Have been watching many of your food videos and I’m full just watching😂😂😂 But I definitely have to hit the soya chicken stall - thanks!
I’ve been watching your videos for years and one day I’m going to compile a list of places to eat and I need to try all of these! Your videos the only ones I’ve consistently watched ❤
I haven't been to Singapore in over 20 yeas, US Navy. Other than food, there's a great Botanical Garden and Orchid Garden. I miss it all. Time to make travel plans...
This is most accurate video I’ve seen so far among the TH-cam videos introduce best food at Singapore. His recommendation on this video are all correct.
I can see the idea that it's a food journey with the different flavors they give to you one after another in a progression from beginning to end. With that being said, the hawker stalls are for me.
I love hawker food stalls in Singapore or Malaysia! Some of the best, delish, and affordable foods there! Also, it's been a while since I seen a Mikey vid, he's lost a lot of weight! Good for him!
I was thinking although the fancy food was beautiful maybe it was made for a dolls house party 🤣 but I guess you have so many portions you actually feel like you’ve had something to eat ! A great experience I’m sure 👌👍
Hi Mike, loves your food videos.... Simple yet informative.... You are a great inspiration... Am starting my own & hope to be as successful as you... Take Care mike...
I love the Hawker stall food & Mikey you just keep adding more stops to make! The highend restaurant was nothing special just their take on an expensive fusion 'creative' menu with some differnt twists. So many restaurant around the world are doing the same thing at $200-500 for the tasting menu! So what!!
Why not? We Chinese do that all the time. Don't you see there is always a chili oil container at the table? A few drip of chili oil in congee just will elevate the flavor.
@@loveislove2359 he's doing it less throughout the years but yeah it hurts when he adds tons of chili sauce to everything especially to cantonese food 💔
Its nice to see that the Michelin people are recognizing the hard work of cooks who work in smaller establishments. Because really good food can happen anywhere.
Not going to lie I did a double take on the chicken with the big red spot. Wasn't till the second shot it looked like a sauce or something on the inside 😂😂
I must try Sing Lung...l love Cheong Fun. My current goto is Happy Congee at Arc 380 for the cheng fun n chok. Its very good. I especially love the prawn one.
To me, a Michelin star for cheap food means that it’s good food, while a star for expensive food means that the food serves nothing more than a social label of one’s status
When you go to a high-end restaurant, it's more about the experience than anything else (and of course the food will be delicious and unique normally in these sorts of places) rather than showing off one's social status. At least normally. If you go to a $1500 a plate 5 star restaurant in some super expensive place, yeah that's the status symbol usually. But places like this, much more for the experience. As someone who went to the CIA and was training to become a chef, and worked in restaurants on the line for a while, most of these chefs are smart, dedicated people who love food. And want others to see their "vision" as it were. That being said, I know nothing of this chef - but the food and dishes all look really unique and I'd guess it's an experience thing for that place.
@@LordLOC For a sec I was wondering if you were trained by the CIA to be a spy in a restaurant then I realised it was the Culinary Institute of America! lol
@@ryanchew9229 And yet you’re critical of him adding chili oil to his congee without even trying it. By your logic, shouldn’t that be dismissed as a “Northern thing?”
Kai lan is expensive restaurants' veggies & bok choi is common veg found in Hawker Ctr food. Please know the difference! Me: I loved bok choi not kai lan!
When tourists come visit singapore... please dont go to MBS or city centre for food... instead, go to these places in the "heartlands" neighbourhoods to find hawker centres like mikey

Crazy thing is, the best tofu dishes ive ever had came from Indian restaurants
@@RileyTA846 ... have you been eating paneer all the while thinking you had tofu? Paneer is really good but it's not actually tofu...

As A
Singapore is by far KING of cheap 5 star food easily! It’s difficult to go wrong. It’s such a comfort food.
I love Singapore’s hawker culture; cheap, yummy, down to earth & lively

You can't not liking watching this guy, it's educational and a joy. Ive tried numerous places based on his videos and ive yet to be disappointed
Mike goes fancy! I like that he mixes it up between cheap eats dive places and high end fine dining.
Lucky bugger
Yeah, you can tell he’s just passionate about food and he makes it interesting
Yes, you've made me want to go to Singapore someday just to eat my way through wherever I stay, Mike! Hawker stalls, mostly, of course.
Do come and experience our food and culture 🎉
The shrimp rice rolls look so delicious. Just for $3!!!. I love Singapore’s hawker culture; cheap, yummy, down to earth & lively.
I must be weird. The cheap foods appealed much more to me than the fancy presentations. 🤣
Everybody likes different things and that's ok :)
u r not alone lol
Nah, you're fine and normal.
Your ok, because no one can taste a design.
I’ve spent a lot of time in Singapore and I’ve never been in a fancy restaurant. The cheap eats can’t be beat.
12:35 dress shirt finally, must be required 😂😂
Can't agree more - everyday is an amazing food day! 😋
Did you guys pay Mike to visit Singapore so frequently? Like how u guys pay Nas 😂
@@rejectwokeness1314 Don't believe so. The videos won't be so organic. And would probably feature government officials/endorsed artistes.
That restaurant where he's eating the noodles 🍜 and soup 🍲 looks amazing 👏 and that's gotta be so relaxing with the food and rain 🌧 outside 😊
That stall is located at Alexandra Village hawker centre. I'm surprised that Mike knows about it.
I’m drooling watching this,looks absolutely amazing.I can’t believe how talented people are with the presentation of the food,very artistic ❤
Man some chefs really are artists. The menu was so beautiful. I actually liked the quantity of food. Thankyou for sharing!
Living in Kyoto now. Not to say I don't love Japanese food, but I really miss SG food back home so god darn bad.
I enjoyed this so much. The beautiful dinner was just so incredible. What an experience.
That looks so healthy, colorful, and super yummy! 😋😋😋😋
Thank you for bringing all this great Asian cuisine in yet another amazing video. All the places you visit are on my bucket list. So far I have only managed the Buc-ees in Texas, that video was a while ago. Keep up the great work.
Hello Mike, the food looks so flavourful. 😊 Keep on uploading more amazing food recommendation videos. 👍
Waiting for your umami Singapore 7-11 video
Great food experiences, all around. Delicious 😋 👍🌻
bro singapore has the best street foods..those hawker centers were so cheap n yumy...back then 1998-2003 dishes cost btween 1.50 and 3 singapore dollars
Welcome to Singapore Mike. You have been coming here more often, great.
The shrimp rice rolls look so delicious. Just for $3!!!
This Guy knows how to EAT and Appreciate every bite!
Have no idea how you eat SO much! Have been watching many of your food videos and I’m full just watching😂😂😂 But I definitely have to hit the soya chicken stall - thanks!
It is always hard to follow a timeline with Mike's content. This seemed to be many months ago
Yes all over the place
Yea was wondering does he live here or does he film in 1 shot & separate the video into different part?
This bideo was filmed when he was still 9 yo that’s why
your streetfood looks tasty and yummy hope i can go there in your country and taste it . nice video too promoting local food .
I’ve been watching your videos for years and one day I’m going to compile a list of places to eat and I need to try all of these! Your videos the only ones I’ve consistently watched ❤

I know how much you love food and rain. I'll bet you were having a great time!!!!!!
That fancy food looks tasteless, nothing beats street food so yummy 😋
And the portions, so small
This is street food though!
I agree with you 100%
Food looks amazing, but so happy to see you dressed up, it really suits you!!
well priced great food wish the whole world would be as well priced as these
My uncle is a Michelin star chef in Singapore, restaurant table 65.
I was hoping you would visit there haha.
I can see the idea that it's a food journey with the different flavors they give to you one after another in a progression from beginning to end.
With that being said, the hawker stalls are for me.
I love hawker food stalls in Singapore or Malaysia! Some of the best, delish, and affordable foods there! Also, it's been a while since I seen a Mikey vid, he's lost a lot of weight! Good for him!
Love seeing these kind of foodie vids it shows cheap eats and high end fancy food at the same time
hawker stalls are more homey comfort food, soy chicken, hainanese Chicken, century egg congee, wanton soup, steamed spare ribs, mouth watering!
I so live vicariously thru you ! 😍😍😍
My favourites are: the soy sauce chicken, the steamed spare ribs, hainanese chicken and the prawn cheong fun.😋🤗
I was thinking although the fancy food was beautiful maybe it was made for a dolls house party 🤣 but I guess you have so many portions you actually feel like you’ve had something to eat ! A great experience I’m sure 👌👍
What an amazing experience you took us on. Thank you!
A single tomato served on crushed ice 🤣🤣🤣 "excuse me waiter wheres the rest of my salad?"🤣
The noodles with the bokchoy looks like a dream
Welcome back Mike!!
This guy makes us want to go to Singapore again, again and again.
The first time I went to Singapore, I watched one of Mike’s videos and had high expectations, and even then it blew me away.
It’s not bok choy. That’s gai lan. You should know this!!
Singapore’s hawker food is unbeatable!
I am so surprised that there is no kiasu malusian in your comment😂😂😂
The hawkers center in Singapore are my favorite place to visit
I would love to see Singapore!😀
Hi Mike, loves your food videos.... Simple yet informative.... You are a great inspiration... Am starting my own & hope to be as successful as you... Take Care mike...
Thank you for sharing this awesome experience! The food looks amazing!❤🧡💛💚💙💜
That looks so healthy, colorful, and super yummy! . Thank you for sharing this awesome experience! The food looks amazing!.
45, layers of chicken skin?
It's a great recipe for cardiovascular disaster!
You should try all the Michelin restaurants like Candlenut, Odette, etc. hehe
Love all your videos you are one of my all time favorites. I hope and can’t wait for you to do the Michelin food in South Korea.
I love the Hawker stall food & Mikey you just keep adding more stops to make! The highend restaurant was nothing special just their take on an expensive fusion 'creative' menu with some differnt twists.

Hot chili oil in century egg congee? Really?
IKR...
Pepper or soy sauce are more appropriate
Ikr... but my helper also put cut chiili and chilli squce into the porridge i prepared for her. Apparently they do not like lighter tasting food.
Why not? We Chinese do that all the time. Don't you see there is always a chili oil container at the table? A few drip of chili oil in congee just will elevate the flavor.
let people eat how they want; chili oil is fire
Can I take a second to compliment my man on his background music. It's a vibe.
I enjoy your videos!! Thank you, 😊
Whatever it is at 14:45. That looks awesome! Deliciousness
Why are you adding chili sauce to congee? That just doesn't go together
He treated it like it's salty tofu soup the breakfast thing they eat in north/western China, I had to fast forward that part it hurt my soul.
@@loveislove2359 he's doing it less throughout the years but yeah it hurts when he adds tons of chili sauce to everything especially to cantonese food 💔
salivating 🤤
My mouth is watering
I think it’s weird how everything Mikey tries in every video is the BEST HES EVER TRIED 🧐
My mouth was watering!!! Make it stop!
Being away from home and watching this is killing me😂
Chili oil into congee, seriously!?
Been to Singapore twice it’s like a home to me.
👏👏👏👏 Great video!!!😋😋😋😋 I've never been so hungry in my life😆
Love your content mike! You always make my day!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
💯💯💯💯💯👍😀
I don't know about you Mikey. But I would rather have the $2 meal. The fancy place fit for a model watching their figures. Lol
I can't watch fancy restaurants without thinking about The Menu now.
I like how mikey never irons his shirt haha
Who adds Chili oil in congee?
Wow that Taro!!!!
맛있겠다 🍴
The way the fancy dishes are presented reminds me of the menu. But since the video was posted I'm gonna assume he made it ou alive 😂
I was thinking the same thing lol
YES! Even the open kitchen concept reminded me of The Menu
Hey Mike. This was a diligent meal. The meals were unique and pretty.. Have a safe time in Singapore. En-joy!! ❤️🐞
Hannan chicken is so good.
WOW!!!! Such great dishes!!!!
Great video! Love singapore and love food ❤
Its nice to see that the Michelin people are recognizing the hard work of cooks who work in smaller establishments. Because really good food can happen anywhere.
Why does Mike always wear wrinkled shirts 👔
Yeah why isn't he wearing an Armani suit or driving a Lamborghini? Why is he dressed like a bum?
Not going to lie I did a double take on the chicken with the big red spot. Wasn't till the second shot it looked like a sauce or something on the inside 😂😂
How come Mike is always in Singapore 😅
I must try Sing Lung...l love Cheong Fun. My current goto is Happy Congee at Arc 380 for the cheng fun n chok. Its very good. I especially love the prawn one.

this video makes me wanna get on a plane and go to singapore just for the food
Same
You need to turn in your “Chinese Know-it-all” badge for continually calling gai lan BOK CHOY.
My thoughts exactly! How can he still not know what Bok Choy vs. Gai Lan is?? He’s Chinese!
Not all Chinese knows what kailan is, especially from the north....
@@ryanchew9229 And yet you’re critical of him adding chili oil to his congee without even trying it. By your logic, shouldn’t that be dismissed as a “Northern thing?”
@@ryanchew9229 even a lot of white people know what bok choy looks like. That’s in most major supermarkets and menus these days.

내가 이걸 왜 새벽에 보고있지😂

Welcome back Mikey!
While at Alexandra food centre, did you try the avocado milkshake there ? Highly recommended
Yoooooooooo saw you the other day in Chinatown
