We thoroughly enjoyed watching the scenery of Singapore, my friend! The city's beauty was truly mesmerizing and captivating. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us! 👍👍
Welcome to Singapore! I hope you have fun. One unique thing about new buildings in Singapore is that any building built over a grass area will require replacing same or more of grasses and plants within the building. That is why you see gardens in the middle of new buildings.
Hi I am a local Singaporean. Some things that are good to know for you after watching this video (Part 1 of 2) 1. The double-decker buses that do city sightseeing tours in Singapore typically have an open top for the upper deck and an enclosed air-conditioned lower deck. It is known as the Big Bus Singapore and is painted maroon in colour. 2. The green double-decker bus that you saw at 0:51 is a regular public bus, a part of Singapore's Public Transport Network. 3. At 1:29, the building that you said that almost looks like it could be a church is actually a historic building called 'Jinrikisha Station' or 'Pulled Rickshaw Station', which was built in 1903 as an administration centre for the rickshaws. There is an actual church behind Shelby at 1:18 called 'Fairfield Methodist Church'. 4. The 'Carrot' in 'Carrot Cake' you mentioned at 5:03 actually refers to the White Radish or Japanese Daikon. The typical orange carrots that we know are known as ' 胡萝卜 (Hú luó bo)' or 'Red Carrot' in Chinese while the White Radish is known as '白萝卜 (Bái luó bo)' or 'White Carrot' in Chinese. White Radish is mixed with rice flour and water and then steamed to create a white "Carrot Cake". This steamed "Carrot Cake" is chopped into bite-size pieces and then fried together with beaten eggs, preserved radish and other seasonings. The final product is known as 'Fried Carrot Cake'. Stalls typically serve black and/or white versions. The black version includes sweet sauce mixed in while cooking to impart sweetness and colour to the dish. White version excludes the sweet sauce.
@@RobertS-h7r hey, I hear ya, US should move homeless, drugs, pornography, school shooting and criminals from the streets.....a bit nauseating, to put it honestly...
Singapore tends to distract your plans, but if u get lost you will explore more than you expect ? just jump on a upper decker bus all the way to a terminal and get lost in exploration. its a fun thingy to do.
glad you guys enjoyed your walk through Singapore ! at 33:01 the first building you pointed to is called the "Esplanade" it's where a lot of theatre shows, musicals, orchestras play at. The next building you pointed to is the ArtScience Museum. I personally haven't been there so i don't really know what it entails ahhaha
Singapore was truly beautiful. So much greenery, light shows, cool buildings. Had such a great time. That’s good to know, if we ever go back we will have to see a show if ones playing!
Thanks for letting us in on your fun Singaporean journey! What’s your secret for keeping your hair and makeup so on point in that hot and humid environment?!
Just to clarify - chewing gum is not illegal here in sg. In fact you can get certain chewing gums from pharmacies and our authorities actually allow for the sale of nicotine gums for the good souls who decides do quit smoking. What is illegal is that regular folks cannot import or sell chewing gums and yes, irresponsible disposal of chewing gum will get you fined.
Its not illegal if you bring small amounts of gum for personal consumption. But come in with cartons of it and try telling the authorities its for yourself, and expect a nice big fine.
The path which had the pedestrian and bicycle sign is a Shared Path which allows power assisted bicycles, e-scooters, etc. Singapore currently does not have many dedicated bicycle/PMD paths as we do not have much land/space to do so.
It is in fact a criminal offence to walk on the right-hand side of a public footpath. You are supposed to walk only on the left. Whilst I try to obey, on the few occasions that I have walked on the 'wrong' side, I have been stopped and chastised in the street.
The "durian" looking building is a theater for performing arts and the other "lotus" shaped building is the musuem or arts and science where there are interactive art displays with technology built into some of these displays.
Also fun fact, those shophouses that you have walked past, the walkway in front of the shophouses is uniquely Singaporean. During colonial times, it was part of city planning and regulations that shophouses had to include a five foot way for shelter from the sun or rain. Literally five feet wide. That’s why shophouses in Singapore are almost perfectly in line.
@@Johnne009 it’s different. It’s not uniformly five feet. It’s all throughout Singapore that it’s five feet. In Malaysia or Thailand, you will see some shophouse protruding out. Some sunken in. But not uniformly five feet.
@@EGO0808 yes. But it’s not enforced strictly. In Singapore it’s enforced strightly. I know can be found throughout SEA. But I’m talking about island wide it’s 5ft. No matter which district in Singapore you go to
probably not uniquely singaporean.... i think probably we have similiar design style in Penang and Melaka as well.... since all cities and urban street planning at least withink CBD zone are Head quartered in SIngapore... straits settlement administration under British which is different from other malay states.
@@woonfaseng8737 I think you guys misunderstood me totally. It’s uniquely Singaporean not because of the design. But the enforcement of the width all throughout Singapore.
Most of the street murals at Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India were painted by a SG artist known as Yip Yew Chong. He was commissioned to paint these murals. You can google about him and the locations of his art works.
That left handed dumpling pick up with that bed of sauce with red chilli oil under, in a white shirt, was anxiety inducing! Glad you made it out clean!
those who have never tried "xiao long bao"...."soup inside dumpling" thingy of sorts.... do note some have very hot soup within...dont eat by putting entire piece inside your mouth. can get scalded by the hot soup inside... slowly eat and bite off the outside while still in a spoon
You need to come to Singapore for Christmas and New Year. Orchard road and marina bay sands is so beautiful and magical. And on New Year's Eve, the fireworks start at 10,30 pm or 11 ,pm and it goes on until 12 am. It is the best fireworks in the world. You gonna have the best Christmas and New Year's Eve in your life in Singapore. It is so beautiful and spectacular, you will be so happy here in Singapore and you love Singapore.
Hi Chase & Shelbs. As you mention yes indeed Singapore is Asia Switzerland. You did drink orange juice from the vending machine but you forgot to take that straw. I know you love Indian food. Go to Tekka Hawker center near to little India along serangoon road. At Tekka Hawker center, variety type of local food are affordable. I recommend go to West Coast Stall, Fried Noodle, Fried Rice, Fried Kueh Teaw all are nice. Must try the Mutton Soap with bread perfect 10/10.
Hi. You can chew gums in Singapore. You cannot import or sell them. So if you buy from outside of Singapore and chew in Singapore, it's ok. Not ok only if you don't disposed of it properly. Hope you enjoyed Singapore.❤
It is good actually not to have gum sold here. No chewed gum stuck on the pavement, lamp post nor under tables etc. Most people just look uncouth chewing gum with their mouth opened while walking around anyway. I never understand why Westerners deem it bad manners when other races chew with their mouth slightly open when having their meals and insisting that the right etiquette should be to chew with lips shut yet they are okay with themselves chewing gum with mouths opened while walking around the streets.
Welcome to Singapore. Chinatown Market literally is a market. 😂 Basement is the wet market where you get fresh produce like fish, meats and vegetables. Level one is the dry stuff. Level two is the food market. Can't deal with the fishy smell from the wet market? Go to the Maxwell Food Centre just 5 mins away. The ship on the three skyscrapers would be the Marina Bay Sands. The White building shaped like a sci-fi lotus next to it is the Art Science Museum. The durian looking buildings is the Esplanade, Theatres by the Bay. Hope that helps!
Since you are at tekka market try Singapore Indian Rojak its much better then Malaysia. Then go to Arab street find Victory or Zam Zam stall best Murtabak in Singapore. Its opposite Sultan Mosque.
Welcome to Singapore! I'm surprised you guys didn't turn in to telok Ayer and witness the oldest temple in Singapore, the thien hock keng temple! It was commissioned by the 2nd last emperor of china back then. The temple used to face the sea and after land reclaimation, you get the current telok Ayer.
The hawker center is behind you at the start of the video. Famous ‘Tian Tian’ chicken rice store. Opposite at 2nd storey is another hawker center where you both went to.
The large body of water in front of Marina Bay Sands is actually one of our freshwater reservoirs. It was originally a saltwater basin, but the government closed off its mouth and transformed it into a freshwater reservoir. It now serves as one of our source of water supply.
You just missed one of the best hawker centres around, Maxwell Hawker Centre, at the first minute of this video. It’s the one just by the traffic lights where you were when you saw the double decker green bus
The zig zag lines make the roads seem narrower than they really are and therefore drivers will tend to slow down and be more careful. The cars were driving on the line were probably just trying to give you guys more space since y’all were waking on the roadside 😅
Welcome to Singapore! The most common misconception of tourists lol. It is not illegal to chew gum in Singapore. You just can't sell them (you could only purchase legally from pharmacies for "medical" kind like dental and nicotine). Finally I see a youtuber visiting the Chinatown Complex. Majority of tourists missed this largest hawker centre in Singapore and walk all the way to other hawkers.
Even if you bring chewing gum from Johor, it's still considered illegal in Singapore. The ban applies to all chewing gum, regardless of where it was purchased. It's best to avoid bringing chewing gum into Singapore to avoid any legal issues.
Lots of people have the wrong impression about chewing gum 😅 Chewing the gum is not illegal in Singapore, you can bring some for your own consumption.... just dispose properly into a trash bin after eating. However, sale & trading of chewing gum is illegal in Singapore. 😊 The water that you guys were overlooking, is a reservoir which is also joined to the Singapore River.
(Part 2 of 2) 5. At 7:04, you mentioned that bottle that you were pouring is vinegar soy sauce, but I have to kindly correct you on that point. It is not vinegar soy sauce. It is actually called Chinkiang Vinegar, which is a Chinese black-coloured rice-based vinegar. 6. Singapore imports durians from Malaysia, that's why you can find stalls selling durians like at 11:32 in Singapore. 7. There are single-deck buses in Singapore as well. Hopefully you are able to see some single-deck buses in your subsequent days in Singapore. 8. Actually Singaporeans don't really follow the dedicated cycling lane thing. Bike and Walk means that lane is a shared lane (for both cyclists and pedestrians). You will find Singaporeans walking on the Cycling Lane and Cyclists riding their bikes on the Walking Line. It is perfectly normal in Singapore, don't be alarmed by it. The typical unwritten rule is that as long as you keep to the left side of a 1-way or 2-way walking path, you will be safe. Singaporean cyclists will typically ring their bells to let people know of their presence and for pedestrians to give way to them by keeping left.
Try to go to heartlands, Ang Mo Kio, for food try 85 Bedok or chomp chomp in Serangoon gardens alternatively East Coast park for bike ride and Laguna hawker centre.
Chewing gum is NOT illegal in Singapore. Only the import and sale of chewing gum by individuals or businesses is. They sell nicotine gum in drug stores. The urban myth is that teen vandals used to stick chewed gum on train doors etc, which caused a lot of inconveniences. So they outlawed it but never repealed it decades later. But you’d still find many kids chewing gum somehow. So it’s not illegal.
Also there is different types of buses e.g Mercedes Benz Citaro, Man A95 Euro 5/6 there are also single and double decker bus, there are also MRT which is known as trains and there are 4 companys of buses which is: SBS Transit, SMRT buses, Tower Transit and Go Ahead Singapore
It's always refreshing to see tourists/foreigners enjoying their time here and being so mind-blown by the things that we (Singaporeans) take for granted at times and see as our daily average norms. It is a reminder that we have lots of things to be proud of over here!
As a Singaporean, 7-11 in Singapore is expensive. Thats the last place i go to if i want to get anything.
That’s good to know, thank you! ☺️
But if you have YUU member because the one I go to has so idk but do get some discounts.
So where would you go?
It’s the same everywhere. A same product costs a lot more at Japanese convenience stores than in supermarkets but tourists tend to buy at convenience stores.
@@Mannouhana74 thats because as a foreigner researching japan, basically all information out there tells you to ignore grocerystores and just go convenient stores in japan. Also the prices at conventient stores are cheap compared to western convenient stores. Here the price is normally double of grocery stores

The urban myth is that teen vandals used to stick chewed gum on train doors etc, which caused a lot of inconveniences. So they outlawed it but never repealed it decades later. But you’d still find many kids chewing gum somehow. So it’s not illegal.
