  • I went to two "Singaporean" Restaurants in Italy. It disappointed me. Get Surfshark VPN at Surfshark.deals/ojisan and enter promo code OJISAN for 85% off and 3 extra months free!
    Don't get me wrong, the food was generally nice at both locations - it's just that... watch the video to find out. It's quite shocking.

    When you travel for a while, you'll sometimes crave for your local cuisines, so you went out searching if there's anyone selling them. Happy that Ghib is searching them for us and also showed that there's still room for Singapore foods in these countries.

    Haha people go overseas to eat and travel but our dear Ghib-san went overseas to find Singapore food which we are really appreciative of! Always have that curious thought how our dishes could be localised in other countries.
    I agree with your wife that Duck Tacos won't be approved here in Singapore haha. The duck dishes found in Singapore are mostly broth and soupy like the Teochew braised duck or those dangui charcoal roast duck. They are heavier in terms of taste ;) really glad to see you and hope you and your wife have a super enjoyable and safe trip!!!

    I moved from Singapore to Netherlands 23years ago. It is very common to see Singapore noodle with curry spices on the menu in Europe but is not actually Singapore dish. Only in England Chinatown u can find good and tasty Singapore n Malaysia foods. Ghib San go to Australia ( Melbourne n Sydney) you can find many delicious Singapore and Malaysia foods.
    Most of the Chinese restaurants in Europe are run by ppl from China.

    Actually we use frozen peas, carrots and corn for home-fried rice. We also use luncheon meat instead of char siew. Fast and easy. We don't make char siew at home and if we buy, it won't last long enough to go into fried rice. Sweet and sour pork was invented in Singapore/Malaysia by one of the 5 famous chefs in the 1950s. I guess you can say that is the only authentic dish that's from Nanyang.

    It's just like American-Chinese food (Panda Express, PF Changs, etc) -- I've never eaten orange chicken or beef broccoli in China (or even egg rolls or chop-suey), but those are the typical "Chinese" dishes in America in smaller cities (not NYC, SF, LA, Seattle, etc). My Chinese friend used to run a Chinese restaurant in Spain that served sushi, pho, and bulgogi because it was the only "Asian" restaurant in the area!

    Here’s the misinformation fact, I have China netizens and I taught China students before…in their China CCP textbooks, Singapore is part of China …. And the world is being brainwashed that Singapore is part of China….that’s why in CNN, they refer Singapore as a city state…
    I have to educate my China students that Singapore has declared independence and it’s a country by itself and dun belongs to China….
    And if your wife had noticed the 1st restaurant’s name is Xing Zhou….the Xing is written as star, unlike Singapore written in Chinese is written as ‘new add slopes” (direct translation) 😂and there’s a place in china calls Xing Zhou…
    As for the Merlion is a Singapore trademark, so if they used it, they can be sued😂
    Malaysia get sued once for using CNA trademark….so their Merlion needs to go on diet to avoid being sued 😂

In Singapore the authentic one is called Xin chow (which sounds like Singapore in Chinese) noodles but there is no curry powder

    I think you’re annoying to keep saying EU EU, when you only went to Italy and second, EU is an organization. Not a location. It’s not wise or respectful to take away others’ identity.
