Finally someone who doesn't run to Chinatown when visiting Singapore. Thank you for exploring the Sultan Mosque area and experiencing our Malay Muslim (and Indian) food/culture. You're the man! 😊✌️
Assalamualaikum Brent, i'm a chinese muslim in Singapore, so happy you're finally here. you went to the right place at Zam Zam and their chicken/ beef murtabak is the most famous in Singapore. Can't wait to watch the rest of your vids 😊❤
Zam Zam an Victory (literally next to each other) are the more popular ones and my go to when there. . Tks for sharing the Al Tasneem which I hv nvr tried but will do when I return to SG next. You simply MUST try the Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang during this fasting month before u leave. Best 2 go in the evening.
Being a Muslim from the UK, I have been to Singapore 3 times and every time I have been to Sultan Mosque and ate food along Haji Street and the surroundings around the mosque - it was awesome and didn't disappoint
Next time you come over to Singapore i recommend you visit Geylang Serai market, and Bedok Corner hawker center it is a heaven of halal food spoilt of choices.
@@ittherose7192 I will definitely look into this when I do visit again which could be highly likely as 2 day stopovers to other parts of SE Asia. Thank you very much for your recommendations
The Malay world (which includes communities of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Southern Thailand and Indonesia) can do wonders with the three magical ingredients…. Pandan, Palm sugar and coconut!
The call to prayer is beautiful. The voice you can hear is the imam of the mosque reciting the prayers out loud, u normally only hear this inside the mosque but they must have windows open and speakers in full blast . ❤
If you want to explore Muslim foods in Singapore you shoul go to these 3 Muslim areas 1. Pasar Geylang Serai area 2. Masjid Sultan area 3. Changi Village area
The beauty of Halal food in Singapore is that you get to savour food from all over the world in accordance to the Halal guidance that's given strictly by the Islamic Council of Singapore. I mean often times when you have Muslims coming to certain countries they'd be skeptical or apprehensive on whether the food is Halal or not so they'd only resort to only consuming food that they're familiar with. Like when you have Indian Muslims or Muslims from the Middle-east coming to Singapore, they would not venture food that's beyond their own culture. But given the melting pot of Singapore's culture we [Singaporeans] are lucky get to try food from all the corners of the world that are in accordance to the Halal preparation. And for that we're glad to say that we're progressive enough from being tunnel-visioned and expand horizon in trying not just food but our way of thinking as well.
Haji Lane is more hipster style, arabic food and indian food. Geylang Serai is the main local hotspot for the Malay community which has more variety of authentic local Malay dishes. Tour guides don't normally bring tourists to this area which makes it underrated.
sultan mosque is the only mosque that can call to prayer with ultra loud speakers. for muslims, we pray 5 times a day. the call to prayer takes abt 3mins each prayer itself takes ard 10-15mins. after prayer, the imam usually reads more supplications for ard 5mins. when you add it all up, yeah its around 25-30mins total :) and its 5 times a day! thanks for enjoying the halal food scene in Singapore! appreciate it alot! :)) btwww epok epok is pronounced as aye-pok eh-pok/(like how u say the letter A) a-pok/aye-pok. hahahah
You should try "hajjah maimunah restaurant" its nearby the mosque. Best to go in the morning to avoid lunch crowds. After lunch they only sell leftovers.
Yes, most foreigners wud try only Chinese food in Chinatown or in food court town.. Dat wud be more expensive.. Go around and do explore the island, ask the locals where are the great food joint, more of wat the real local foods were.. We have 4 (Chinese, malay, Indian & others) or more races here in Singapore, do try their own respective food and eat like the locals.. Makes your trip here worthwhile at least..
Bro its not the call to prayer , its recitation of the Quran during prayer which is only read out loud during Farj(morning prayer) Magrihb Prayer (sundown Prayer) Isha (night prayer) And Jummah prayer Friday prayer . But you'll always hear the call to prayer before every prayer.
Finally! A vlogger that explores & reviews Singapore food truly! Thank you so much for sharing our delicacies to the world😊Truly appreciate all your vlog about Singapore foods 👍
Singapore arab st won the first prize photo in IG showing Sultan Mosque.While some other tourists doesn't recognised arab st that well.Its either Chinatown or Lil India.Thanks Brent for informing other viewers that halal food do exists in Singapore.Enjoy your holidays.🇸🇬🤜🏼🤛🏼
Dudeeeeeee you are soooo cool! As a muslim Singaporean, I'm so glad and proud that you as a vlogger you explore Arab Street and tried the Halal foodies here! You got me and my partner to subscribe to your channel and sharing this to my friends and family. 😁👊 Have a safe trip wherever you are now!
Just by showing respect to the call of prayers earn you a new subscriber. Not taking anything away from the wonderful content though. Hello from a new subscribers from Singapore.
I'm a Malay/arab/Indonesian Muslim in Singapore, born here and have lived here ever since... Sultan mosque or masjid Sultan is the only mosque in Singapore that is allowed to record their prayers and call of prayer through the speaker to be heard throughout the area. What you've been hearing is the call of prayer or adhan for the first five minutes and the rest is the heavy prayer called sholat. If i was there i would have recommend you to have dinner at Kedai Minang it mainly prepare dishes from padang(west Sumatra) and locally malay dishes, as a cook i can really say it's quite delicious
Brother, Salam to you. I saw you took a pause during Azan (call to prayer) TQ brother, that means a lot to us muslim. Be safe out there, wherever you are brother. Salam.
Chancing upon a youtuber channel who really EXPLORES a city instead of just being a tourist, really is like finding a hidden gem. Instead of just visiting the touristy & expensive places like Marina Bay Sands, Merlion etc, i love how you embrace the different cultures here in sg and tried the local food. Singapore is really a melting pot of diff cultures and we boast variety of food originated from diff countries too so migrants feel a sense of belonging here eating food that they are familiar with. But with a singaporean twist😉Thank u so much for respecting the religions/cultures and really appreciating them❤ we are happy to have you here in sg🔥
Wow, this is such a nice compliment. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope I earned your subscription. I try to show all sides of life, especially for those that are on a budget.
Teh Tarik/ Teh Terik - is pulled tea. Tarik means Pull. The tea is made frothy by pouring from one glass to another glass from a distance, back and forth.
Hi Brent , Teh (Tea) Tarik (Pull) describe a drink of sweet tea with milk, prepared by pouring the liquid back and forth repeatedly between two containers so as to produce a thick foam on top.
Thank you so much for making this video! Many travellers rave about the food in Singapore, but they mainly try east asian food, and forget about south asian, southeast asian neighbours, and middle eastern cuisine here.
When you’re enjoying the cup of cendol, there is a ladder to the side of you. This is a unique feature of these shophouse where the residence is upstairs. They would climb the ladder to enter the house, then pull the ladder up after them and shut the trapdoor which is just above your head. Not too many people know of this feature.
Hey bro, if you're still in Singapore, you should check out Geylang Serai Bazaar during this fasting month. The food is pricier but soak in the festive vibes. Enjoy Singapore!
No such thing as "Muslim food". Food can be halal or non halal, but each Islamic country has its own culture & cuisines which vary greatly from others.
Victory vs Zam Zam… Walking down memory lane… back then, at the same vicinity there were 3 reknowned restaurants famous for their Murtabaks & Briyanis. There were Singapore Restaurant on the left, Zam Zam in the middle & Victory on the right. However, since 1985 until today there’s Singapore Zam Zam & Victory. Personally, Victory’s Murtabak is the best but Singapore Zam Zam’s Briyani is good. Nonetheless, the best Murtabak in Singapore was from the defunct Queens Murtabak located near the former Queens theatre at Lorong 40 Geylang & the former Jubilee restaurant that served yummilicious Briyani back then alongside Islamic restaurant at their old location. Wow how time flies 🙏🏻🫡🤟👍🏼😊
Bless you for being a positive voice for Muslims when they need it the most and when the whole world is bullying and spewing hatred towards them. May Almighty bless you beyond - Amen ✨
Hi Brent... What you thought was the call of adzan is actually the prayers recitation. For congregational prayers at Sultan Mosque, the Imam's recitation is broadcasted over speakers (it's the only mosque allowed to do that in Singapore) > with exception during Ramadhan, where most mosques are allowed to broadcast the prayers recitations.
Brent welcome! In the day you have to go for Nasi Padang in front of the Sultan Mosque, and you have to go to Geylang Serai Market Food Court for more classic traditional sweet Malay desserts and food. Its a variety there.
The Briyani you had Zam Zam - the cucumber is called acar (pickled cucumber), then that’s the sambal egg (egg in chillies) and the curry is mutton curry.
Hi Timm Best biryani : Shami banana leaf (mutton & chicken) at Northpoint shopping centre at Yishun Best Lamb mandi : tabbouleh at arab street Best carrot cake : sengkang kopi tiam ( halal) The place that you went to is for tourists. Perhaps you can try taking the train and explore more of Singapore
Beg to differ....Arab Street is best for tourist because of Sultan Mosque and the history behind of this area.The tourists come here to take pictures.BUT the locals love to come here too.
Thank you so much for making this, really was looking for a video like this one to see what kind of halal food Singapore has. Looking forward to visit in October. Looking forward to other videos of you. Greetings from a Dutch Moroccan
Hello Brent u asked about the prayer at the mosque. Muslims pray 5 times a day. So 4he azan call to prayer happens 5 times aday. And the prayer u had that took long was actually the actual prayer. That was 1 of rhe night prayers
You have yet to try the Malay / Nusantara food: Nasi Ambeng (originally Javanese meal) at Padi (Bussorah Street) / Nasi Padang (originally West Sumatran cuisine) at Rumah Makan Minang at Kandahar Street / Pariaman - Kandahar St /North Bridge Rd/ Hjh Maimunah (Jln Pisang)!😋😋😋
Please let me know if you would like to see me keep doing food vlogs. I’ve received a lot of feedback that people don’t like when I only focus on food, and since my goal is to entertain you, I only want to create videos you like. Thanks for watching!
If u are still around, go to the Geylang Ramadan Bazaar (now ongoing) in the evening. The atmosphere, the people ... the crowds will simply BLOW YOUR MIND! 😅
Couldn't be any more happier for u to hit almost 150k subs. Been following you since you had 3k subs. Great personality bro. Khuda hafiz for now n cheers 🎉
Crispy Potato or Sardine Curry Puffs are always nostalgic. In our early not so rich years of Sg, our Makcik (Malay Aunts), carried a basket go doors to doors with their home made curry puffs. Then was like 5 or 4 delicious piece for a dollars, best with Kopi.
In the mosque First one was call for prayer. And then 5 minutes was the actual prayer service. In some places the prayer also made on loudspeaker if the sound doesn't reach the attendance in the back.
Salam Brent! Thank you for visiting Sunny Singapore and eating Halal food! I got particularly offended at the behaviour of the Zam Zam staff. Price shown was $17.00 and then proceeds to tell you its $20.00. I think the person is pushing you to pay higher price because you are a tourist. It hits my morals. I just felt its not right. I felt so bad such behaviour was displayed to you. Nonetheless, i hope you enjoyed Singapore, just like how i enjoyed watching your video!
Explore the hawker culture here next time! We have plenty of hawker centres selling hearty homecook like food which is close to the hearts of many singaporeans!!😊
Hi Brent, looking good you enjoy singpore halal food. Singapore Murtabak, I belived its much tasty then Malaysia or Indonesia. There are many halal food in Singapore. Go to Geylang Serai Hawker Center, there you can find malay authentic food which is halal. There are so many stall and very nice local desert.
We don't have deer farms in Singapore nor do we have wild deer in Singapore. At least, not that I'm aware of. You can find them at the Singapore zoo though! 😂 I'm pretty sure their deer meat supply is imported from Malaysia or Indonesia. P.S. It's nice to see a tourist doing a vlog on muslim food. Muslim food in Singapore is sadly always overlooked by travel vloggers.
Hey Brent, you can try Teh Halia (tea) or Kopi Halia (coffee). Halia is ginger. So it's ginger milk tea or ginger milk coffee. You can tell them kurang manis - pronounced "koo-rung maH-nis" if you want it less sweet. I usually love it hot.
Hi Brent if you ever hit arab st / victoria St again the best Murtabak is at either Zam Zam or Victory Restaurant these 2 have been around since before Singapore independence. These 2 restaurant have been rivals to each other. If looking for cheap eats head down to South Bridge Rd, Golden Mile Food court.
Thanks for visiting our country! Epok-epok (Pronounced Ayepoke-Ayepoke) is known as "Curry Puff" in English. Usually, it has has Curry paste/Eggs/Sardines as filling. I would reccomend you trying Teh Tarik (Less Sweet) and also Masala Tea (Which is tea with spices). Next time you come back to Kampong Glam, try Bhai Sarbat Teh-Tarik (Famous tea shop, try their Masala Teh C Less Sweet)!
Singapore is still mostly cash based. Credit Cards are mostly accepted by restaurants and in most shopping malls... But small mum and pop shops still prefer cash.... No commission needed to pay to the banks...
@@arbaeyahmohamed5688 Yes.... Singapore has a system called "PayNow" which you can pay by using your phone to scan a QR code. But for the average Western or non ASEAN tourist... Unless you have a bank account that has agreements with the local banks... That won't be possible. Most hawkers and small business owners refuse to accept Credit Cards is due to the fee imposed by the banks and/or the Credit Card company.
I feel you. I like going cashless so it sucks if credit or contactless payment not accepted or available. But then again, i don't like that some place is charging customers for credit or contactless payments.
if you want to eat Halal food for 24 hrs. You only need to go two place Geyland Serai and also Tekka - for cheap and very good Halal food. I am surprised not many people suggested that to you.
The popular usage "786" - mostly in the signboards of Indian Muslim shops and restaurants. It is a number which symbolizes the Arabic word "Bismillah-irrahman-irrahim". As a short explanation, the Arabic alphabets are assigned with numbers where Alif is ascribed as the number 1, up to Ghayn which is ascribed the number 1000. When all of these numeric values in the word "Bismillah-irrahman-irrahim" are added, the sum total would be 786. This is how this number is used as a numeric form of the word "Bismillah-irrahman-irrahim". Therefore, instead of writing the word "Bismillah-irrahman-irrahim" on the signboard, they just use the number "786".
has no islamic significance in accordance to hadith and quran, it was a thing from the south asian continent, According to Hinduism 786 means “Trimurti” that represents Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. Brahma the most superior among Trimurti related to number 7. Lord Vishu “The Preserver” relates to number 6 and accordingly, number 6 denotes to “the destroyer of evil and transformer” lord Shiva himself. According to Vedic dharma followers 786 means “OM” has a connection with Kabbalah. In one of the books of Rafael Patai, he says that there are few similarities between Tantra and Kabbalah which give an indication that the number 786 gets originated from Hinduism. There are 3 Lokas in Hinduism, Swarg Lok (heaven), Prithvi Lok (earth) and Patal Lok (below the earth). The heaven where Inder dev resides relates to number 7. It is also believed that any human who follows good deeds will get a place in heaven with Inder Dev. Number 8 relates to Prithvi Lok which is Earth. It is also called as Mirtyu Lok which means the world of death. It denotes that every person who takes birth on earth has to attain death someday compared to the Swarg Lok. While number 6 relates to Patal Lok which means the surface below the earth. It represents the region of the Nagas, ruled by Vasuki (demons of the serpent).
@@keemarotichaibro, just because the words Lima is used in Peru and in Singapore, doesn't make it the same meaning. Same logic applies to 786. Every indian Muslim local knows it refers to Bismillah.
@@johnwig285 bro, there is no basis in the religion for it. It was never mentioned in religious texts nor by esteemed scholars. It is only prevalent in indian subcontinent. It has been passed down from generation to generation. It is derived from hindu numerology. Ur analogy is baseless. It is not used in the general muslim world. Just because its used by indian muslims doesnt mean its correct. There are alot of practices in the indian muslim diaspora that have their roots from hindu practices. Its not a religion thing. Its a cultural thing. Dont confuse it.
best place to eat is the area you at. Especially those arabic restaurant or best malay meets western fusion, is malayan council. Malayan council desserts are not bad too. But if anybody wish to visit a trendy food and halal, well this is the area to be at.
Brent, food as long as it's meat you've to check if it's halal, fish, vegetarian and drinks are mostly halal by default except for alcoholic beverages. Singapore has a clear halal sign on every store and we've a variety of halal foods, so we go for an officially halal establishment usually, where even the fish is not cooked in a non-halal kitchen. You need a much longer time to explore all the fusion foods here, hope you enjoy it while it lasts 😊
@@BrentTimm btw this video is 10/10 the type of content that people will love watching. Please no Collab with tasteguy and others, you don't need them, your USP is being a lone wolf exploring and showing us the exploration
@@shahmamun1869not true, it's a numerical representation using an old numerical system that can be applied to Arabic. It means just as much as "Bismillah" or any other system to represent Arabic in another manner.
When it's about murtabak and briyani, zamzam is the place to go to. You should try soup tulang merah and beach road food centre if you're still in Singapore
The respect he showed by not talking while Azan! Thanks & keep it up!
Respect!!💯
Finally someone who doesn't run to Chinatown when visiting Singapore. Thank you for exploring the Sultan Mosque area and experiencing our Malay Muslim (and Indian) food/culture. You're the man! 😊✌️
I second this! Most of the vloggers that I watch usually don't do this. I mean, I don't blame them. We got the reputation of being mini China
What's wrong with visitors checking out Chinatown? Visitors are free to visit whatever they choose. No need to be offensive.
Are you offended when people visit Chinatown? Are you making this a race/culture issue?
@@su-chinglim7416 dont get triggered. hes just stating what he views. are u making it an issue?
You are nuts. Kittypinkee is racist. THAT is an issue. Why put down Chinatown? @@downtown_coffee
Assalamualaikum Brent, i'm a chinese muslim in Singapore, so happy you're finally here. you went to the right place at Zam Zam and their chicken/ beef murtabak is the most famous in Singapore. Can't wait to watch the rest of your vids 😊❤
Thanks for watching! Zam zam was so good! I wish I had good like that where I live!
zam zam and victory are both the same in terms of quality. both enjoy legendary status here. zam zam has been overhyped slightly more.
Zam Zam an Victory (literally next to each other) are the more popular ones and my go to when there. . Tks for sharing the Al Tasneem which I hv nvr tried but will do when I return to SG next. You simply MUST try the Ramadan Bazaar in Geylang during this fasting month before u leave. Best 2 go in the evening.

The Malay world (which includes communities of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Southern Thailand and Indonesia) can do wonders with the three magical ingredients…. Pandan, Palm sugar and coconut!
Such a perfect mix of flavors!
That's so true. So many varieties of food and desserts with just that 3 ingredients.
The call to prayer is beautiful. The voice you can hear is the imam of the mosque reciting the prayers out loud, u normally only hear this inside the mosque but they must have windows open and speakers in full blast . ❤
Brent Trim I was Amazed what a good Human Being your are know’s how to respect 🫡 while the Azan, preaches Kudos to you man!

There is a mengo fruits but the store lazy to buy the fresh one. Chendol made from Pandan flour, red bean, coconut milk and plum suger
The Briyani you had Zam Zam - the cucumber is called acar (pickled cucumber), then that’s the sambal egg (egg in chillies) and the curry is mutton curry.
Normally, Briyani comes with Mutton Dalcha haha I’m hungry now🤣
The mosque in the background looks surreal it’s absolutely stunning. I want to visit Singapore one day ❤
Great exposure bro Brent, you made the world know that there's Muslims of various race and halal food in Singapore. ❤🇸🇬👍
Happy to share :)
Your Enthusiasm makes your video very interesting to watch. Your honestly also very much appreciate. Welcome! Hope you have a great time.
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me!
Hi Timm
Best biryani : Shami banana leaf (mutton & chicken) at Northpoint shopping centre at Yishun
Best Lamb mandi : tabbouleh at arab street
Best carrot cake : sengkang kopi tiam ( halal)
The place that you went to is for tourists.
Perhaps you can try taking the train and explore more of Singapore
Beg to differ....Arab Street is best for tourist because of Sultan Mosque and the history behind of this area.The tourists come here to take pictures.BUT the locals love to come here too.

My pleasure
I’m glad I found your channel! You’re very entertaining and respectful 😁

Zam-zam is my favorite for murtabak and biryani in SGP but if you wanna try authentic Malay/Indonesian cuisine please go to Hajjah Maimunah 😋
Thank you so much, I will definitely check it out. I really appreciate your recommendations!
Thank you so much for making this, really was looking for a video like this one to see what kind of halal food Singapore has. Looking forward to visit in October. Looking forward to other videos of you. Greetings from a Dutch Moroccan
AsSalaamu'alaikum brother Brent.
Just saw this channel.

I’m really in love with Singapore! I hope I earn your subscription
@@BrentTimm
Definitely!!!
Marry Singapore one day and live here. 😝
Have a great time OK ? And take care of you. 👍
Hello Brent u asked about the prayer at the mosque. Muslims pray 5 times a day. So 4he azan call to prayer happens 5 times aday. And the prayer u had that took long was actually the actual prayer. That was 1 of rhe night prayers
Thanks for the info!
You have yet to try the Malay / Nusantara food: Nasi Ambeng (originally Javanese meal) at Padi (Bussorah Street) / Nasi Padang (originally West Sumatran cuisine) at Rumah Makan Minang at Kandahar Street / Pariaman - Kandahar St /North Bridge Rd/ Hjh Maimunah (Jln Pisang)!😋😋😋
Please let me know if you would like to see me keep doing food vlogs. I’ve received a lot of feedback that people don’t like when I only focus on food, and since my goal is to entertain you, I only want to create videos you like. Thanks for watching!
I would love to see you get some Palestinian food!
If u are still around, go to the Geylang Ramadan Bazaar (now ongoing) in the evening. The atmosphere, the people ... the crowds will simply BLOW YOUR MIND! 😅
Hello guyz
Hello bro
The place is so clean, it almost looks like the streets you get at theme parks.
Because he didn't go to Chinatown. Its dirty there. Local Chinese aren't dirty, but mainland Chinese is a different story.
Go to Mustafa centre, you will find south east asian food! Such as Bangladeshi food also many regions of Indian food.
Bangladeshi bd Indian are south Asian…. Not south East Asian
You're making us drool!! Can't wait to see more foodie adventures in #VisitSingapore
More to come! Let’s connect on Instagram, and create something really special together!
Couldn't be any more happier for u to hit almost 150k subs. Been following you since you had 3k subs. Great personality bro. Khuda hafiz for now n cheers 🎉
Wow! You have no idea how happy this comment made me. 3000 subs feels like a lifetime ago, so I am very thankful and appreciative of all your support.
@@BrentTimm u absolutely deserve it bro. Thank you aswell
The beauty of Singapore - Being able to sit in a quiet alley, do your thing and have some good food ....
Crispy Potato or Sardine Curry Puffs are always nostalgic. In our early not so rich years of Sg, our Makcik (Malay Aunts), carried a basket go doors to doors with their home made curry puffs. Then was like 5 or 4 delicious piece for a dollars, best with Kopi.
❤❤❤ thanks for making singaporean food look stunning!! U just got subscribe!! ❤❤❤
There are not deer farms in Singapore, I think. There are deer farm on the Malaysian peninsular and on the Borneo island especially in Keningau.
WOW!!! I really enjoy following your channel for the Muslim and Pakistani food tour! Your videos are amazing with all the glorious food!!!! ❤
In the mosque First one was call for prayer. And then 5 minutes was the actual prayer service. In some places the prayer also made on loudspeaker if the sound doesn't reach the attendance in the back.
Salam Brent! Thank you for visiting Sunny Singapore and eating Halal food!
I got particularly offended at the behaviour of the Zam Zam staff. Price shown was $17.00 and then proceeds to tell you its $20.00. I think the person is pushing you to pay higher price because you are a tourist. It hits my morals. I just felt its not right. I felt so bad such behaviour was displayed to you.
Nonetheless, i hope you enjoyed Singapore, just like how i enjoyed watching your video!
Thank you! Yes I’m still shocked by that price increase.
Teh Tarik = Pulled Tea caused the tea is pulled to create those foams on top of the tea.
The place where you had the briyani is indeed AMAZING
Enjoying this Singapore 🇸🇬 series!
Thank you for trying and tasting the Halal food in Singapore plus your honest review. Hope you enjoy the experience.✌🏽
Thank you too!
Explore the hawker culture here next time! We have plenty of hawker centres selling hearty homecook like food which is close to the hearts of many singaporeans!!😊
Next time! 💚💚
Hi Brent, looking good you enjoy singpore halal food. Singapore Murtabak, I belived its much tasty then Malaysia or Indonesia.
There are many halal food in Singapore. Go to Geylang Serai Hawker Center, there you can find malay authentic food which is halal. There are so many stall and very nice local desert.
You have a very positive vibe and can see your genuine interest and respect to learn more abt other's beliefs and cultures. :) Keep it up!
We don't have deer farms in Singapore nor do we have wild deer in Singapore. At least, not that I'm aware of. You can find them at the Singapore zoo though! 😂 I'm pretty sure their deer meat supply is imported from Malaysia or Indonesia.
P.S. It's nice to see a tourist doing a vlog on muslim food. Muslim food in Singapore is sadly always overlooked by travel vloggers.
Hey Brent, you can try Teh Halia (tea) or Kopi Halia (coffee). Halia is ginger. So it's ginger milk tea or ginger milk coffee. You can tell them kurang manis - pronounced "koo-rung maH-nis" if you want it less sweet. I usually love it hot.
Thanks for the amazing video. I've done a list of iftar places for this year 2024.
the big mural at the Teh Tarik shop is brand new, only a few months old, and one of the many murals around Arab Street.
Yes the teh tarik is damn gooooddd! Hope you had a good time in Singapore
Wow! Didn't realize that Singapore has so many varieties of Biriyani. Thanks for uploading it.
I’m happy to share! Thank you for watching
Tasneem..my all time favorite!
Welcome to Singapore!
Hi Brent if you ever hit arab st / victoria St again the best Murtabak is at either Zam Zam or Victory Restaurant
these 2 have been around since before Singapore independence. These 2 restaurant have been rivals to each other.
If looking for cheap eats head down to South Bridge Rd, Golden Mile Food court.
Thanks for visiting our country! Epok-epok (Pronounced Ayepoke-Ayepoke) is known as "Curry Puff" in English. Usually, it has has Curry paste/Eggs/Sardines as filling. I would reccomend you trying Teh Tarik (Less Sweet) and also Masala Tea (Which is tea with spices). Next time you come back to Kampong Glam, try Bhai Sarbat Teh-Tarik (Famous tea shop, try their Masala Teh C Less Sweet)!
Beautiful video man. Love your positive vibes and personality.
Welcome to my country, Singapore🇸🇬🇸🇬! AND to my birthplace: the district of Kampong Gelam: Singapore's very first Malay-Muslim urban centre. 🎉❤❤❤🤩😍
It's great to see that you are still using the shirt you bought from Bangladesh
I love this shirt! Good catch!!
Hi Brent, welcome to singapore.
Brent I really like your vlogs , pls continue food + travel vlogs.
Love your vibes dude!
You make anything ordinary look exciting, love your enthu and happy go lucky character 😁
Singapore is still mostly cash based. Credit Cards are mostly accepted by restaurants and in most shopping malls... But small mum and pop shops still prefer cash.... No commission needed to pay to the banks...
I believe they do accept payment paywave n hdphone tapping.Like Malaysia n Indonesia.Even small stall we just tap our phone to pay.So convenient.
@@arbaeyahmohamed5688 Yes.... Singapore has a system called "PayNow" which you can pay by using your phone to scan a QR code.
But for the average Western or non ASEAN tourist... Unless you have a bank account that has agreements with the local banks... That won't be possible. Most hawkers and small business owners refuse to accept Credit Cards is due to the fee imposed by the banks and/or the Credit Card company.
I feel you. I like going cashless so it sucks if credit or contactless payment not accepted or available. But then again, i don't like that some place is charging customers for credit or contactless payments.
if you want to eat Halal food for 24 hrs. You only need to go two place Geyland Serai and also Tekka - for cheap and very good Halal food. I am surprised not many people suggested that to you.
Wow, this is my first time hearing of those places. Thank you for the recommendation and I will try to visit soon.
@@BrentTimm yes geylang serai but most shops will sell out around 3-4pm. Most stall at Tekka food centre will open till 7-8pm
@@BrentTimmthose 2 places dont serve 24hrs. geylang is usually a ghost town by 4pm, best to go there in the morning.
Restaurant Hajjah Maimunah - must try 🥰
🇲🇾🇸🇬✌️
Hi, Brent happy to see you again 😊😊😊best wishes from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
The popular usage "786" - mostly in the signboards of Indian Muslim shops and restaurants. It is a number which symbolizes the Arabic word "Bismillah-irrahman-irrahim". As a short explanation, the Arabic alphabets are assigned with numbers where Alif is ascribed as the number 1, up to Ghayn which is ascribed the number 1000. When all of these numeric values in the word "Bismillah-irrahman-irrahim" are added, the sum total would be 786. This is how this number is used as a numeric form of the word "Bismillah-irrahman-irrahim". Therefore, instead of writing the word "Bismillah-irrahman-irrahim" on the signboard, they just use the number "786".
has no islamic significance in accordance to hadith and quran, it was a thing from the south asian continent,
According to Hinduism 786 means “Trimurti” that represents Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. Brahma the most superior among Trimurti related to number 7. Lord Vishu “The Preserver” relates to number 6 and accordingly, number 6 denotes to “the destroyer of evil and transformer” lord Shiva himself.
According to Vedic dharma followers 786 means “OM” has a connection with Kabbalah. In one of the books of Rafael Patai, he says that there are few similarities between Tantra and Kabbalah which give an indication that the number 786 gets originated from Hinduism.
There are 3 Lokas in Hinduism, Swarg Lok (heaven), Prithvi Lok (earth) and Patal Lok (below the earth). The heaven where Inder dev resides relates to number 7. It is also believed that any human who follows good deeds will get a place in heaven with Inder Dev.
Number 8 relates to Prithvi Lok which is Earth. It is also called as Mirtyu Lok which means the world of death. It denotes that every person who takes birth on earth has to attain death someday compared to the Swarg Lok. While number 6 relates to Patal Lok which means the surface below the earth. It represents the region of the Nagas, ruled by Vasuki (demons of the serpent).
@@keemarotichai Whatever the meaning for the other cultures does not matter. As far as for the Indian Muslim community this is what they mean, period.
@@keemarotichaibro, just because the words Lima is used in Peru and in Singapore, doesn't make it the same meaning. Same logic applies to 786. Every indian Muslim local knows it refers to Bismillah.
@@johnwig285 bro, there is no basis in the religion for it.
It was never mentioned in religious texts nor by esteemed scholars.
It is only prevalent in indian subcontinent.
It has been passed down from generation to generation.
It is derived from hindu numerology.
Ur analogy is baseless.
It is not used in the general muslim world.
Just because its used by indian muslims doesnt mean its correct.
There are alot of practices in the indian muslim diaspora that have their roots from hindu practices.
Its not a religion thing.
Its a cultural thing.
Dont confuse it.
@@kbmkbmz there is the misguidance.
The stubborness to maintain misguided practices which are clearly a bid'ah.
In other words, regarded a major sin.
best place to eat is the area you at. Especially those arabic restaurant or best malay meets western fusion, is malayan council. Malayan council desserts are not bad too. But if anybody wish to visit a trendy food and halal, well this is the area to be at.
Brent, food as long as it's meat you've to check if it's halal, fish, vegetarian and drinks are mostly halal by default except for alcoholic beverages. Singapore has a clear halal sign on every store and we've a variety of halal foods, so we go for an officially halal establishment usually, where even the fish is not cooked in a non-halal kitchen. You need a much longer time to explore all the fusion foods here, hope you enjoy it while it lasts 😊
786 is usually associated with saying bismillah
Oh wow I learned something new! Thank you.
@@BrentTimm btw this video is 10/10 the type of content that people will love watching. Please no Collab with tasteguy and others, you don't need them, your USP is being a lone wolf exploring and showing us the exploration
786 means nothing... it's just misconception 🙄🤷🏽♂️
@@shahmamun1869not true, it's a numerical representation using an old numerical system that can be applied to Arabic. It means just as much as "Bismillah" or any other system to represent Arabic in another manner.
Sami Jannat 786 has nothing to do with Islam
Please go to Geylang Serai food market on Sunday
first time watching your content, i love how respectful you are🫶
When it's about murtabak and briyani, zamzam is the place to go to. You should try soup tulang merah and beach road food centre if you're still in Singapore
