Wow, you have learn alot about Singapore, welldone.
The Food Courts in Singapore 🇸🇬 shopping Malls are Airconditioned and big enough sitting.
lol in HK it is stressful to eat sometimes, the moment we sat down they were expecting us to give the order immediately. Once when I was eating the polo bun the auntie already took back the plate for washing. very efficient lol. I think suits guys who eat fast.
Totally understand what you mean. They need to increase the table turnover rate, that can really give stress to customers. 😝 Office workers or blue collar workers like going to cha chaan teng, quick & efficient.
When u go back to hk b4 at airport inside can take back some money back. That means u must keep your recit which that u buy things from shop. That is mean u can take back gst back at the airport
Oh I see
Hi Karman. Chance upon your channel. Keep it up. May I ask u, what is your favorite food in Singapore?
There’re so many!! I like laksa, chicken rice and bak kut teh. Any good recommendation?
My personal experience working in HK, people leave work late not because they are hardworking (I meant those that I know, of course not everyone) but they spent a lot of time talking/complaining during the working hours and even if there isn't urgent stuff to do, they will still stay late, with the mentality that the later you stay the more hardworking or busy u are. Then the next day they will complain how late they've worked yesterday and the time could have been used to do actual work. Personally, if I have dinner plans, regardless in HK or SG, then I will plan my work accordingly to finish on time or do it later after dinner, because heading to the restaurant later will usually mean no seats or have to queue. Also given that its Covid situation where most eateries close at 10.30pm, most of us adjust the meeting time to earlier time so that we can have more time to catch up.
Agree that it also comes down to personal level, everyone’s habit is different. It’s always better to plan ahead.
Singapore 🇸🇬 have 4 Different cultures and food choices and mixed food between Western and Eastern Chinese crudités.
There is GST added to price.
The last few phrases u mentioned are not singlish. Eg of singlish are "catch no ball, sure one, can one, u eat already etc etc. If u send your daughter to local kindergarten she might pick up one or two singlish to surprise u.
I’ve no surprise when my daughter picks up Singlish. Haha~
EPIC presentation it gets as good as it possibly can over the edge cultural/straight forward comparison extensive research/detailed works have been done factual ----non editorial elements is highly appreciated profoundly thank you god bless
Thanks for your support!
7、8同台灣都一樣。對了，請問新加坡的餐廳會不會早於7半、8點就閂門？
不會，約9點、10點吧
before we have Cafe.. we have Coffee House... Coffee House and Coffee Shop is different... Coffee House is a somehow a high class dining house where it not only act as a cafe, but you will also be able to order simple western dish too like fish and chip, steaks, sandwiches and atas coffee
I didn’t know there’s Cafe House, sounds a bit like HK-style western restaurants (港式西餐廳), e.g. 花園餐廳 in Hong Kong. Still available now or replaced by cafe already?
@@MsKarman you dont get to hear this "Coffee House" any more :P.. you either hear Cafe or Bistro now.. but sometimes you will get to hear some old folks in SG still use the word "coffee house"
Yes, coffee house are popular in the 70's. They normally sell western food like steak n serve coffee or soft drinks. I still remember a set consisting of soup, main course n dessert cost about $10.
Good memories!! Those were the days.
Hi Karman,
Wow after staying here for one year, I notice you are a very observe person that is very good. Hope you enjoy staying here and please do stay safe.👍👍👍
Thanks Dennis for your support all along! There’re so many things I want to share, quite interesting to observe our surroundings. I just took second dose. You take good care too!
For the WFH, I would say one of the key point is the typical household living space in SG is wider and spacious if compared with HK counterpart. Probably WFH in Sg is easier to adhere with
Good observation! And as the approach for dealing with covid is different, other measures are able to stabilize the situation and no need WFH measure
Good video..keep it up..spore vs hk, differences..forever an interesting topic
It’s because everyone’s perspective is not the same especially people from different countries with diverse background. 😁
Hawkers normally don't charge GST. Also not all restaurants charge GST & service charge
Water in restaurants are mostly free because they charge 10 percent service charge
We don’t do set meals because we like options. If 2 people go eat, we can have 6 different dishes to share. And a lot of times people will ask if they can change items in a set menu, so honestly it’s just easier if they don’t do sets at all, unless a set meal is discounted a lot.
Water is not free because they want you to order actual drinks since it’s the highest margin items on the menu.
Actually if the food is served very quickly in restaurants here, customers get upset. I feel like eating out is a time to get together and relax and unwind, so service has to be good and not rushed. It’s acceptable in SG to tell the kitchen to serve food slower if the restaurant is not too busy. If you’re looking for a quick meal like lunch on a work day, you would go to a hawker or takeout instead.
Love to hear the local’s perspective 😁 The points all make sense to me now. I feel the difference because I didn’t get used to it at the beginning.
I Strongly Recommend that you and your Family Must Visit Singapore 🇸🇬 Orchard Road Shopping Belt Corridor Christmas Decorations 🎄 2022 shown on TH-cam video.
马来西亚观众 🙋♀️ 新加坡同大马有好多野係好似，因为我地都係多原种族的国家。我都经常去香港，好中意香港 😊
Hello 你好！香港人都覺得你地兩個地方嘅文化相似😄 我好掛住香港嘢食😋😋
@@MsKarman 馬來西亞人會覺得：新加坡的濃辣炸各方面都比他們清淡！
@@lengyeowang4147 😆😆
Enjoy your Singapore 🇸🇬 lifestyle
Thanks!! Experiencing diverse culture here
民以食为天! 食以安为先!!
Hawker Centre 的确係新加坡的一大特色！又有更多选择, 又沒食安问题!😋
Hawker centres 實在太方便，平靚正！
Do you know hawker centre is listed in UNESCO as cultural heritage. Hawker centres (open air and no air-con) are under the government while those stand-alone or in shopping mall with air con are under privatise businesses
There are various types of kopi in SG...... Which I think HK doesn't.
True, kopi is another signature in Singapore.
Did u order fish ball noodles(dry) b4? They will add tomato sauce in it🙈 if u ordered with no chilli........ tatz nvr happen in hk......
I haven’t tried it before. That sounds…..special. 😝
@@MsKarman as for ppl from hk, i really dun recommend to try it……😂😂
@@cyjenkin Hahaha I trust you.
Alamak , can your video speak in Mandarin please ? we don't understand Cantonese ...
I added Chinese and English subtitles. Hope it helps.
@@MsKarman please don’t change to mandarin. Love to have Cantonese channel or channel of different dialects and languages
@@joyong5547 Thanks for embracing diversity!
Fast doesn’t mean efficient. We can’t generalize the speed of serving. It depends where and what you order. I lived in HK for many years. It’s a stressful and noisy environment due to limited and expensive space per capital.
Sometimes it’s quite stressful to order in those popular cha chaan teng in Hong Kong. I can understand they just want to increase the turnover in order to accommodate more customers and pay the high rent.
Hello Karman, Thank you for another of your cover. Love Hong Kong and the food there too. Hope to visit when this lock down is over. You have a lovely personality and hope you enjoy living here. Stay safe!
I’m very happy that you also like Hong Kong and the food. Everyone misses traveling a lot!! I enjoy staying here, thanks for being so welcoming!
在台灣24小時都可以約吃飯，夜市小吃很多很方便裝食物的盒子跟杯子有些很漂亮，缺點很變胖
夜市小吃實在太多選擇及美味，我要與朋友分享，才可以上更多不同款式
哇
HK same as Malaysia, someone must be on the table to reserve the table.
Using tissue or staff pass is no different to someone standing at car park slot to reserve the car park.
It’s really an unique culture here. 😆
加油。
Hawker centre, was brought from Guangzhou and HK to Nanyang by those cantonese.
Oh really?! Good to know
常吃棘東西，皮膚可能會變差。我覺得套餐會比較便宜，分開單點可能比較貴。
在香港的餐廳套餐是比較便宜，這裡的hawker centres單點已經算是便宜 😃
新加坡也有套餐啊！
有的，只是香港絕大部份餐廳也有，連茶餐廳都有
餐馆的确係唔收小费, 因为已经有在10%既Service Charge, 不过如果妳很满意餐馆的服务水准和菜色, 都係可以打赏嘅!🤗
The Hawker Centre must AirCon
You mean in SG or HK?
@@MsKarman SG
Singlish 係新加坡嘅恃色之一, 就不晓得K妈学左几多?🤔
在努力學習中，要與locals多聊天才行
I am a fan of HK's 下午茶 (烧鸭+白切鸡 combo), sometimes I'd swap the 奶茶 for 例湯. My go to cafe is in Jordan, near side entrance to Kowloon Park.
I miss the breakfast and tea time in Hong Kong. 😋 The way you describe makes my mouth water.
Hk food also nice
Yes, like dim sum and seafood. 😋
Karman knows very well about the business model of a coffeeshop! To be honest, many locals or foreigners may not get the difference between hawker centre and coffeeshop, because the food served are similar.
Yes, I found it very similar at the beginning. It seems the most obvious difference is the scale.
@@MsKarman But you have got the differences between hawker centre vs coffeeshop very clearly. In terms of location, coffeeshops are mostly those which are located at the level 1 of HDB blocks. There are also coffeeshops which can be stand alone not with HDB blocks. While usually hawker centre is usually located next or near a wet market. But I have also seen hawker centre which is not with wet market.
As for size, usually coffeeshop have around 7-10 stalls, but I have seen really big coffeeshop which can go up to close to 20 stalls. While hawker centre is usually bigger with many more than 100 stalls, but I have also seen hawker centre smaller with around 10+ stalls. Really confusing, that is why sometimes even locals don't know how to differentiate... haha
I did some research before making this video. If not, I can’t really tell the difference. Haha~
仲有，哩度嘅carrot cake唔係蛋糕(其實佢哋應該叫turnip cake至啱)
Haha 香港都有turnip cake/ radish cake, 蘿蔔糕好食呀！雖然我鍾意西餅carrot cake多D
Yes spicy is interest in Singapore bc there neighbor country love spicy.
Does spicy food help to adapt the hot weather? Or just different races share similar food culture?
@@MsKarman I would say cultures. Imo , soup could help adapt to the weather.
我嘟係比较鍾意香港多，因为香港夜景好靓😂
夜景黎講，香港真係冇得輸！山頂望落去好壯觀
感觉新加坡港式茶餐厅还是太少了，甚至还没有上海多！难道新加坡人不喜欢吃港式的吗？
我也想有更多港式茶餐廳😋😋😋
我記得系香港叫一碟辣椒系要給錢，系屬於單叫，唔系免費，所以有d朋友佢香港旅行會自備辣椒🤣，頭一次佢街市食野，系佢旺角花園街街市食妹記生滾粥品，冇冷氣。
辣椒可能要錢，辣椒醬就唔使😆 聽到食粥，覺得好熱😂 可能部分街市裡冇冷氣
原来香港也有hawker centrr
是的，但本地人真的很少去光顧😜 家附近實在有太多選擇
@@MsKarman 难怪新加坡的hawker centre能被申遗。。。
我本身系新加坡广东籍华人，但系我从未去过香港，亦都唔想去。从小到大，我亲眼睇同听我嘅亲戚讲话个态度同声量，我自己都受唔住。依我自己嘅性格嚟讲，如果我去果度，我可能会同香港人打起交。
我哋新加坡做任何事，都系依 ‘尊重’ 为先。所以睇到 ‘紙巾’ 喺台面，我哋唔会去 'challenge'、摞出 ’民主‘ 或 ’人权‘ 嚟辩驳，又或者以 ‘无人喺度’ 为由嚟坐低。更唔会一睇到你食完就叫你走，因为你 ‘阻住地球转’。
以我嘅睇法，香港人系唔管咩系 ‘尊敬’ ；香港人基本嘅 ‘思想’，就系 ‘金钱’、‘身份’ 同埋 ‘权力’。所以 ‘戾气’ 特别重，整个社会都无咩 ‘快乐’ 可言。讲话大声、步伐紧凑，一讲唔通就闹粗口，就系我对香港人嘅睇法。
多謝分享你嘅睇法，明白你當中嘅感受，尊重真係好重要，求同存異才可以和諧共處。可能某些行為及言語係一攝人嘅習慣，如果有機會，還是希望你可以親自到香港感受一下我哋真正嘅風土人情，品嚐地道美食，可能你有另一番體會。
@@MsKarman 早排睇到一个喺新加坡工作嘅港女做嗰视频。喺里面，佢话佢曾经喺公共场合感到唔舒服，后来因有新加坡人上前帮佢而感到 ’不可思议‘。佢话系香港，依D ’有人扶持、帮忙‘ 嘅事系唔会发生。我留言话如果一个人觉得 ’一个人帮助或救援另外一个人‘ 会 ’不可思议‘，咁果嗰人应该去想下做乜会有咁嘅想法。
香港最大嘅问题，就系港人畀 西方 ’民主‘ 同 ’人权‘ 意识洗脑，最终成为咗一个 ’病态‘ 嘅社会。我闹你 'DLLM' 系我嘅 ‘人权’；记者乱写野系佢哋嘅 ‘新闻自由‘。再加上大家都住系窄小嘅房屋，日日 ’逼逼埋埋‘，使到大家精神都紧绷，以 ’个人‘ 为 ’中心‘。做乜事亦都要 ’快‘、’急‘、’狠‘。2019年嘅暴动我一D都唔意外。今年我46。有生之年我应该都唔会踏入香港。
每个人的見识和胸襟不同 見解就不一樣！
@@dantlanz2225 你對人權了解有問題吧？你在台灣日本或者歐洲國家罵類似DLLM的當地話，是犯法的，不能拿人權做借口，甚至某些程度是反人權的，因為不尊重人！
Mei Nu
be kiasu like me. i just take a cup and fill the cup with tap water >>>> free water . water quality here is much better than WHO standard.
Can I request for tap water in restaurants? 😝
Only麻辣香锅stall will ask you what level of spiciness you want.
Some other stalls usually ask me if I prefer chili sauce or not.
食辣就嚟食到变成辣妈！
I’m so hot…the weather haha~ 😂
你好像黑了☻
的確係～👩🏾
