@@SortedFood 👑👑👑
Realising there are only 3 more videos in the advent calendar is bumming me out... but like you said... Savoring these while I can
The withdrawl in jan is gonna be hard
The commitment to bring the cloche across the world is just outstanding. I wonder how the airport security guy reacted to that 😂
Jamie had it confiscated at one building we went into. Had to collect it on the way out! Haha
@@SortedFoodYou guys are the Best 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
@@SortedFood Oh Jamie Jamie Jamie 🤣🤣🤣 For some reason I can hear the tuba music 🤣
Love the fact that you took the cloche to Singapore for the reveals 😂
At this point, I feel like the cloche needs a name. It's an essential part of the Sorted Crew now 😂
Clint the cloche is my suggestion
@@RBRB431 I'de vote for Chloe the cloche, personally
As a Singaporean, as much as I love Western food, going back to Asian food just makes me go "Ahhhh this is the best". Hahahahaha
This advent calendar has been such a wonderful gift guys! Thank you so much! Been loving every video!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Merry Christmas
@@SortedFood Even merrier thanks to You guys 🎄🎄🎄🎄
@@danielsantiagourtado3430 You too, have a Merry Christmas!
What are we to do on the 25th?🥹
Haha that December cpm hits different! It’s been wonderful
No question about it, you have to bring more of the Sorted crew back here to Singapore! There is no end to the great food here and everyone deserves a try.
Yes please!!! ❤
bang on there is still so much more they can discover
"have you eaten" feels like a very general asian greeting especially with family/friends. i know chinese people say that very frequently, and my grandmother would often ask me and my cousins this whenever we visited as kids.
Understanding the geo-politics of Singapore and Malaysia, most "Malaysian dishes" pre-dates the formation of Malaysia as a country. So a lot of the same dishes can actually be found in both Singapore and Malaysia, with both countries having equal claim.
There are also a few varieties of laksa available in the region. Katong Laksa (the one that you guys are more familiar with) and Siglap Laksa originates from Singapore whereas Penang/Asam Laksa and Johor Laksa hails from Malaysia.
Also, don't forget that it was the merger of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo that led to the formation of Malaysia... even though Singapore got kicked out in less than 2 years afterwards and became an independent country. So it does get difficult to pinpoint the true origin.
*Cue the Food wars, with Indonesia also jumping in with a bat *
but seriously, SE Asia all more or less have similar food... especially the former colonies due to the flow of the people looking for better money especially from China and India.
As for the laksa, singapore's is more on the coconut fragrant where in penang's is more on the texture with the sardines and a lot more on the sweet side from the pineapple
Oh no please no more food war! LOL! Us Southeast Asians should band together and remove all country and state lines when it comes to delicious food! Be proud of the region and each other!
Hahahaha! Yeah, f*** those food fights. We all have great tastes because of all our collective efforts - Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, even maybe lil Brunei, though I'll be damned if you ask me what is Brunei food? Idk, but I'm sure they contributed something into the mix
All sea food are actually imitation/ copycat from the original country of china
Lmao if we wanna pin-point the origins of the culture in the Malay Archipelago, we will need to go back all the way to the days of Majapahit, or even earlier.
That said, the earliest recorded history of laksa specified that it was created by Peranakans on the west banks of Malacca, hence calling it a "Malaysian dish" is not inaccurate. But that doesn't mean that the Singaporean variants are any less authentic, as culture is always in flux. Many dishes that can be found in one part of SEA can easily be found in another part of SEA, often with a different name and ingredients. And all are just as validly part of that country's culture.
so happy that you guys enjoyed the food here!!! the next time you try the chilli crab, remember to order the fried mantou (a kind of sweet bread) to mop up all that sauce, i guarantee it takes it to a whole other level:D but truly, this video made me so happy to be a sorted fan and singaporean 💕
yes that's the first thing I was thinking!! if you don't get the fried mantou you've never had the proper chilli crab experience omg.
yessss the mantou is the best!!!
AND GET THE BLACK PEPPER CRAB TOO! Equally good, some might even prefer black pepper crab over chilli crab
yes and crab bee hoon soup :')
@@DragonBonder
Where do you recommend for the best chilli crab? The guys didn't mention where they went
Singapore was my love at first sight, I can't wait to visit it for the 3rd time. Its by far the best country/city I have ever visited.
Singapore was my love at first sight too!! Except I've never figured out how to summarise what I feel about the place in one sentence until I spotted your comment :) These two videos made my heart sigh!
I can only imagine how much work this is for the Sorted Team but I just wanted to thank you for the daily videos. I look forward to them every day! Love the content, the creativity, and comraderie.
Like most bigger youtubers they pre record stuff.
@@SilvaDreamsI think it is still a lot of extra work from 3 videos a week to suddenly 7 videos a week for 3 weeks.
@@Withur You'd be amazed at how back logged they might have videos and they are just scheduled to release on a certain day and time. Use to help others do this sort of thing. We could have an entire month of content sitting in the waiting.
@@SilvaDreams And thats still work, and a lot of it. It kind of looks like you didnt get the point of the first comment or you just wanted to completely miss it.
They have about 20 people working for them now? so pretty good .
Going to the shop with the longest queue is a quintessential Singaporean trait - well done! Also, I've absolutely loved the range of our food that you managed to try this trip but can't help but think of even more foods that you missed out on... guess the only solution is you guys have to plan a second trip back for more food! Maybe we'll find something that really "challenges" Jamie next time :D
Off my head I'm thinking: Singaporean-style Bak Kut Teh (more peppery compared to the herbal soup seen in Malaysia), Char Kway Teow, Bak Chor Mee (both dry and soup versions for two different options), Orh Luah (oyster... pancake? omelette?), sambal stingray... this list is never ending! Also maybe this might challenge Jamie - Kway Chap with braised pig innards (my personal favourite is the large intestine, but you can try a bit of everything!). Okay, I'm hungry now haha
Roti Prata with mutton curry for breakfast, bak kut teh and sambal stingray are some of my top recommendations! ^^ Please do come back and experience more of our great food!
Cute, but we all know that the best Singaporean food is...
A Malaysian food.
@@enkryptron oh wow it's almost like we hv the same history, culture and geography
Almost but not quite. We have a richer, longer and better history/culture. Geography-wise we are bigger and more diverse than your glorified island-town.@@princesssupernova5300
hahahaha youre damn funny sia bro hahahahhahaahhahah fking joker@@enkryptron
@@enkryptron Malaysia - "WE HAVE BETTER FOOD!!!"
Singapore - "We have more Michelin stars. Our food is globally recognized to be better without the use of MSG."
Malaysia - *Uses MSG*
Singapore - *Facepalms*
This random Malaysian commentor - *Claiming their food is the best while yelling hysterically and waving the MSG bag as a banner of war*
Yes, do come back! Lor mee, bak kut teh, hokkien mee, prawn noodles, nasi lemak, Indian or Chinese rojak, char siew/sio bak, oyster omelette... just so many awesome dishes left to try!
Where are the best food places to get these please? 😊
@@chesca7295 almost every hawker center/food court will have some of the foods here, granted if you want the supposed best versions of each dish, you'll have to travel around the island.
@chesca7295 Ask 10 Singaporeans and you'll get 10 different answer for all those dishes 😂. Good rule of thumb at hawker centres is to look at which stall has the longest queue. Mike Chen also has many many videos on food in Singapore.
@@kyris66 hahaha fair enough. A sign of good food everywhere. Thank you and Merry Christmas 😊
@@chesca7295 malaysia lolllll😂
Singaporeans don marah ha....😅
Really happy to see my favourite Fuzhou Fried Oyster Cake stall featured here, and even better, that you enjoyed it! My family has bought from this stall for decades!
I love how Ben just forgoed the gloves and went barehands for the chilli crab!! That's the way~
Singaporean in the UK. I hope you enjoyed our island nation!
As always, I love your travel videos! What a wonderful job you've all created for yourselves. Also, you are all charming ambassadors for the UK.
I can't tell if Ebbers is sweating from the climate or from the heat of the food lol. Love it. Great job y'all! Looks like you guys enjoyed your time in Singapore.
Love the fact that you lads came all the way here to sample the food :). FYI, the other famous oyster cake stall (Fu Zhou Poh Hwa Oyster Cake) is in Berseh Food Centre. If you only had a few days to spend to try hawker food in Singapore, I would suggest Old Airport Road Food Centre (accessible by the subway (or MRT as we call it) , Circle Line: Dakota Station) which has one of the greatest variety of hawker stalls and some of the famous hawker franchises in Singapore do set up their branches here. Another favourite hawker centre of mine is Hong Lim Market & Food Centre (accessible by North East Line & Downtown Line : Chinatown station). Famous stalls include : Outram Park Char Kway Teow, Ipoh Crayfish Hor Fun, Ji Ji Wanton Noodle Specialist, Curry Chicken Noodles (both stalls are good) and my favourite Cantonese Delights stall which does a really good Chicken Cutlet Noodles. Be prepared to go early though as long queues form up by 11:30am for most of these stalls.
LOVE your travel videos guys! Its among your Best 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Not always as 'popular' as studio stuff... But we love doing them and those that do watch seem to really enjoy. So thanks for your kind words! 🙌
@@SortedFood Always guys! 🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
Great episode! More suggestions: a typical S'porean breakfast of kaya toast, Roti prata, half-boiled eggs with soya sauce, yutiao (crullers)Lunch: lor mee, oyster omelette; Dinner: claypot rice.
This video could not have come out at a better time! I'm about to go to Singapore in January and I can't wait to go to these places that you've visted. Definitely sending this video to my mum 😂 Thank you!!
I don't have a comment but as a Singaporean I want to be part of your video statistics when you look up how much engagement your Singapore videos get so you'll try more of our food and come back for longer!
South East Asian food is just so amazing. Together with Japanese food it is my favorite food.
Ahh I miss Singapore. I used to travel there (or through there) 4 or 5 times a year in the last 10 or 15 years of my working career. Retired now. My personal preference is Pepper Crab with steamed or fried buns to mop up the sauce and a side of seafood fried rice. On a trip there with my twin brother (he flew from California, I from the UK) we found a fantastic Laksa place outside the main city which had won awards... you sat on plastic chairs on the pavement (sidewalk) and were approached by a beer seller who was a separate merchant to the unlicensed Laksa seller. Fantastic rustic delicious.
Yes!! Pepper Crab is more yummy!. Congratz on your retirement, I'm jealous so I will eat some food from illegitimate sellers on your behalf haha
One of the things I like about this format is that I think we're seeing stuff from trips, special guests etc, that may not have shown at the time that they were shot but that are still very fascinating to us! So don't feel that you have to put all related things together to post at the same time!
100% you must return to Singapore and explore the food scene even more. This was a treat to watch!
The noise suppression is working overtime in this one. Bang up job by the editing team! And as always amazing video!
Please come back to try even more food so that you can include them in the cook offs! Flavours in Singapore are so unique, I would like to see how everyone does their own take in the Sorted kitchen!😆😆
So… unique? Feel like it’s the opposite of that, most, if not all our food is from another country.
Best food/ entertainment channel! No yelling at ppl who don't have experience. ( Except for Jamie yelling at himself)😂❤
So happy for this Advent Calendar! I normally only get them for my son, so being able to excitedly "open" one every morning (Aloha! 🌴🌺) too has been such a wonderful treat! Thank you, @SortedFood! 🥰
Good morning to Hawaii :-). I think you have some amazing food on your beautiful islands as well ?
@@swissfoodie3542 Aloha kakahiaka (Good morning 😄)! W definitely do and I hope that they feature it someday beyond musubi (although that is delicious 😁). Laulau, kalua pig, poke, loco moco, huli huli chicken, poi, haupia... So much to try... They should just come here. 🤣
My all-time favorite is opaka paka with rice and broccoli. Ah, I dream about. Mele kalikimaka
@@janmay3901 I went to school with a girl with your name! How coincidental! 😄 Mele Kalikimaka e Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! 🎄🎆🤙
Awesome video! I’m Singaporean but never know where to bring visitors so I’ll have to co-opt your excellently curated places for friends coming over next year! Glad you guys had a great time!
always warms my heart to see people enjoying food in singapore! ❤
Laksa is one of my favorite dishes, but sadly you cant get it in Switzerland :-(. So I am just enjoying it in my mind whilst watching Jamie and Ben eating it.
I live in center of the US and have seen Laksa on menus. but it was far from a good Singaporean (Penang) Laksa. same with chicken rice, so I make my own. hope you at least try to do yourself, it is fun.
I tried several times, but I never got anywhere near where it was like in Malaysia or Singapore. I guess sometimes for me, a really special dish like Laksa also is so delicious because of the memories I attach to it. I think I would travel to Malaysia again, just to be able to enjoy the faboulos Laksa several times more. All the best to you in the centre of the US and have a good festive season.
Buy it online. Search for Prima Deli Laksa
If you guys ever come back to Singapore, there are so many other things for you to try!
There’s the Beach Road Prawn noodles that’s located at Upper East Coast road
And also a Chinese version of Fish Head Curry that tastes really different from any curry that you guys might be familiar with at NaNa’s Curry at Bedok interchange
Your travels have given me so many foodie destinations! Thanks guys!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
I'm glad the boys had such a great time. I'd definitely love to see more of Singapore.
Great, now I have to go to Singapore. Thanks for this highlight on food that looks absolutely delicious!
I am confident saying that Laksa could be the absolute pinnacle of human achievement.
Hokkien mee!!! Where they cook the noodles in a rich pork bone/prawn shell broth and stir-fry at the same time so it has both the wok hei char and the slurpy goodness of soup infused in the dish.
If you're looking for something that might challenge without going overboard like a durian, kway chap. Large flat sheets of rice noodles, served in a fairly delicate dark herbal soup, but often includes pig intestines as one of the various sides.
I am Indonesian living in Europe, and this video is the closest thing to home, thanks guys!
A list of things to try when you come back to Singapore
1. Singapore-style Hawker Centre Coffee (Kopi). I highly recommend you to try Kopi 'O'.
2. Minced Meat Noodles (Bak Chor Mee) at Kovan Hawker Centre (e.g. Chun Fu Fishball Minced Meat Noodle, Fa Ji Minced Meat Fishball Noodle and Yam Mee Teochew Fishball Mee).
3. Chomp Chomp BBQ Sambal Stingray at Bedok 85 Market.
4. Lorong Ah Soo Lor Mee (Braised Noodles) at Hougang Hainanese Village Centre.
5. Koh Brother Pig's Organ Soup at Tiong Bahru Market and Hawker Centre.
6. Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee at Tiong Bahru Market and Hawker Centre.
7. Dumpling Noodle from You Cai Wanton Mee at 58 New Upper Changi Rd.
8. Tapioca Cake and Ondeh-Ondeh from Heng Heng Ondeh-Ondeh & Tapioca Cake at Maxwell Food Centre.
9. Claypot Rice from Lian He Ben Ji Claypot Rice at Chinatown Complex Food Centre.
10. Green Bean Soup, Red Bean Soup, White Wheat Porridge (Pulut Terigu) and Chinese Sweet Soup (Cheng Tng) from Xi Le Ting at Commonwealth Crescent Market and Food Centre.
Live in Australia and Laksa is one of my favourite dishes. Because I'm a sucker for cheap but good, and meaty meals, there is an Asian Restaurant near me that has Laksa with Chicken, Pork, Tofu, Prawn and Squid, along with the sprouts, some fresh chilli and a beautiful broth. Of course it's not normally all that meat, they are just the options and I get a combo.
You are absolutely right, Jamie, when you say that some restaurants have just noodles, broth and toppings that are all quite separate from each other, it is always great when you find one that balances all the elements to perfectly compliment each other.
And after writing this comment, I decided on Lunch. Laksa here we come!!!
This advent calendar has been such fun! I really appreciate all the hard work that went into it. I'm hoping you might find a way to do it again next year!
Thank you for this wonderful video of a British chef trying out Singaporean street food 👍
Oyster Cakes, Samy's Curry, Lau Pa Sat Satay Street are all considered old school dishes. These are establishments that have been around in one form or another since before even the 1980s.
The "egg omelette" in the laksa is actually taupok, or dried beancurd. It's a key ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine.
And Chinese cuisine...
Wonderful stuff fellas. I’ve been to Singapore many times and dream of its food especially Nyonya which is a trial to make but well worth it. I also speak Bahasa so just a minor correction on laksa pronunciation, the first (a) is pronounced like the last, more of a U sound. So Lucksah would be closer to the phonetic. We’ll have to wait and see if you had time for High Tea in the series but I hope you did. Singapore really know how to put on a show when it comes to the food experience. Australian Chef in Europe, Steve.
You need to visit us more often for more food tasting! Love to see you enjoying the food here!
Just wondering, did Ben and Jamie get some of those fried buns (man tou) to dip into the chili crab gravy? Because if they didn't, they have definitely missed out on another layer of enjoyment
That banana leaf meal reminded me of home in South India. Love to see that Singapore does it so well!
I love the advent calendar of videos this month!! Thanks for all the hard work and i hope you all enjoy your vacations after this month and are able to get some rest and relaxation!
Happy Christmas. This advent of videos was fantastic.
i used to work near maxwell and i have the oyster cake once a week. it’s so freaking addictive.
Ahhh local here who works near Maxwell food Centre and I must say, wonderful video! The laksa stall is one of my personal favorite hidden gems and the oyster pancakes are a bit more well known among locals but not so much to tourists so thanks for trying them out!
Also great strategy when choosing the satay stall, picking the one with the longest queue - that’s how we locals do it too! 😂
this December has been incredible with the daily uploads, in the future after december i think we would all enjoy a more structured upload schedule, every “x” days or on certain days of the week
These back to back video posting is amazing. I’m going to crave it after new years :(
Great job with all the videos and content, especially the travelling ones make me what to go out and try the food for my self. It would be awesome if there was a guide like this for every city and food.
Love to see it!! (it's pronounced as "Laak-sah")
Great video guys!!! The best part was the Laksa. Soooo good!!!
Yes you have to, and you will, go back! Singapore hawker center roti paratha with chicken curry, that I first tried in 2002 (about $2 AUD back then), remains one of my top 5 foods of all time! The melting pot (*pause...drink*) of Chinese, Malaysian and Indian cuisine in Singapore is so unique and just incredible!
This calendar is so much fun! Kuddos to you for doing this and planning so much ahead!
Next time, you have to try Bakkutteh (meaning meat bone tea)! It's a specialty of Teochew (my people) and Hoklo (Hokkien/Fujian ethnics). It's one of my most favorite foods I can't find easily so whenever I visit Singapore (or the nearby Indonesian island Batam where a lot of my family lives), I always eat a lot of those, and if I had my way, every day!
I hope you guys do the full South, Southeast and East Asian food tour. So many countless spots and dishes that must be reviewed.
Ooh wish I'd seen this and the first vid before going to Singapore in March this year. Had some good food but now I have to go again and check some of this out! Thanks SO much for the calendar! Merry Yule! 🌲
Normally we have deep fried slightly sweet soft flufy buns to dip into that chilli crab sauce…
Next time when you lads visit try Roast Paradise Bbq Pork at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre… Mikey Chen loves it too
This video advent calendar has made my holiday season! Thanks, guys 😊
I've been watching your videos since the first Sorted kitchen/studio. I am so happy to see Ben and Jamie enjoy the food in Singapore!
that why my country Singapore is called a food paradise almost every kind of fusion food you can find here hope you come to Singapore again if you guys can please try stay in singapore for at least 2 weeks i'm sure you can explore most of the food we have that way
😢 the 24th is coming too fast. Going to miss the daily uploads. Thank you guys for all the hard work you've put in
I totally agree, after the 24th, I will have withdrawal syndroms ;-). Having a new Sorted Food video each day is just really amazing.
@@swissfoodie3542absolutely
I just had lunch and watching this my mouth is watering again!😋
A very merry Christmas to you all at Sorted! Thank you so very much for the advent calendar and all the inspiration and smiles you share.
Will definately miss my daily video fix.
Kind regards from Bulawayo Zimbabwe.
Would love for you guys to come back to Singapore!! Still have loads of amazing food to try
Great to see you guys try the local food at hawkers and coffeeshops even though the weather here can be quite humid! 😊
Minds blown. Incredible places I plan to visit, thank you.
Like your closing, Clean, Green and food scene is Mean! Do come again, one of the best place u ever Been! 🇸🇬
I’m sad… no one tried the fish eyes! They pop and are so good!
Satay Street:
Ben: takes a bite
Jamie: takes the whole thing
😂😂😂
I really love the advent calendar this year. I am sick most of this month so having everyday something to look forward too is nice.
Singapore food FTW! I'm so happy for you boys checking out my home! ....even though I was on holiday while you came here LOL
1. Most Laksa stalls in Singapore don't normally give prawns. Cockles are more common. While having the sambal chili helps to enhance the flavour, it is possible to request for 'no chili' for laksa if you find it too spicy.
2. Mud Crabs are the most common crabs seen for sale in Singapore. In second place, it will be the Flower Crab.
I was waiting for this! And now, I guess that's the end (for now) of your Singaporean Food Adventure. You've hit all the high spots - Chicken Rice, Chilli Crab, Laksa, Fishhead Curry, Satay (at Satay Street!) and my fave - Char Kway Teow. You want more recommendations?
1) Ethnic Diversity - Singapore is a GREAT place to try Indian Food. Head down to Tekka Centre to try Indian food. Geylang Serai Food Centre (currently under renovation, done sometime in 2024), for Malay food.
2) If the Chilli Crab is not spicy enough (Jumbo's Chilli Crab is sweeter and less spicy - some say more "eggy". Longhouse's Chilli Crab is supposedly spicier.) Try Black Pepper Crab, the slightly lesser known sibling of Chilli Crab. Also, you did not order Mantou. It's a fried bun that you can use to soak up Chilli Crab sauce. I once ordered naan from an Indian stall and use that to dip into the chilli crab sauce. Only in Singapore. (And I believe some places offer White Pepper Crab.)
Petition for sorted food to try all Singaporean dishes 😁
the lady laughing behind 😂 adorable.
Thank you for this month😊
waited so long for part 2!!
Oh man, I miss food from that area soo much. Need to go back soon! It's just not the same when I try to make it at home lol. I miss Singaporean Mei Fun as well.
So happy you guys came to my country!! I'm amazed you guys even ate Oyster Cakes...which most Singaporeans haven't even tried before. YAY
Would love to see the rest of the boys back in singapore with you guys
As a Singaporean, as much as I love Malay foods at Geylang Serai & Indian foods at Little India. Have to try! ❤
Luv it! Many thanks ❤❤️
That Laksa looks soo good!
Oysters are my favorite seafood and those fried oyster cakes are calling my name!
Love your video
Great video! LOVE everything you guys have showcased in the 2 episodes on Singapore food! but I might be biased. :)
A tip on the chilli crab. 1 crab is pretty big, and you can ask them to prepare half the crab in chilli and another in black or white pepper. Some might argue that Black Pepper Crab is better than the Chilli Crab at Jumbo.
So glad that you visited Samy’s curry! It’s my fave place for fish head curry!!
"The sauce is almost like a gravy" said while having curry. Never change, Jamie. 😁
Love this channel 🎉❤
bridging the west and east! good work fellas!
