This is like Singapore Cuisine 101. Thanks for giving us a tour of it. Someone should build a Hawker centre down under. Neil Perry should visit this and let the couple who runs this restaurant teach him what a Singaporean dish looks like.
There have been several attempts to build hawker-like establishments here. Sydney has the spice alley, Melbourne has several pop-up events featuring hawker food, and Adelaide.... Well, is just a sad foodie destination 🤣... Hawker fare will sadly be largely watered down here in Australia.
We are flying into Adelaide from North Queensland to have dinner at The Botanic again in August. I know where we are having lunch now. A Singaporean guy going to a Singaporean place for ten years? Good enough for me!
Ha yes, Singaporean cuisine is VERY hard to find. When in Adelaide, here's a tip.... Absolutely AVOID the restaurant called SINGAPORE HOUSE. The only thing Singaporean about it is the name, and it's a constant bug bear with the local Singaporean community at large. Enjoy your trip to Adelaide!
Yeah damn it. Now I want to go here whenever I’m back in Adelaide! I like a good Hokkein mee (Also, you’re so close to 10k subscribers, hopefully soon! 😁)
Yes... Hokkien mee... As far as I know 5 Stones is the only place to get it like that. Next week I'm off to Europe on another filming soirée. Another travel series awaits! 😉
Every time I go to Singapore, my first stop is always to go secure Roti Parata and an Iced Milo (Hardcore Milo drinkers know the Milo in Australia tastes different to what you get in Asia). I could spend hours at the Hawker centres alone. Sad that some of my favourites weren't on the menu at 5 stones but that salted fish nasi goreng looked God tier :O Thanks for sharing, amazing content as always!
@@nilskyproductions nothing beats prata for brekky... With a sick fish curry, that's my fave combo. You're right, Milo tastes different indeed! My fave in the Malaysian one. Shit, everything taste better in Malaysia... Even their KFC!
Yummy! I remember playing the 5 stones game in Sri Lanka as a 10 year old in the 80s while on holiday with the local kids there. I don’t remember what they called it, but the premise was the same although they used small rocks and also marbles. Playing marbles over there was really popular and our preferred game- it was easy to follow along while unable to speak a word of Sinhalese at the time!
@@ryansofly I am fourth gen Australian on Dad's side (mostly English originally), and Mum was a ten pound pom, we played this game as kids with an old family heirloom set of knuckle bone shaped pieces in a little case. We called it knuckles. My wife has Lithuanian/ Polish background and had a similar set of knuckle bones. She called it Jacks. Sometimes I played it at school with pieces of gravel and we called it Jacks then, too. I think it was pretty well universal.
@@nuyabidness1887 yes I think you're right. Someone else from NZ responded to this video with similar information. Must've been an European thing, seeing how Singapore was also under British rule.
I think in the 80s here in Australia they had that game too. They were plastic white knuckle shaped things. Toy stores used to sell them. But in third world countries where flashy technical toys are a luxury, they made do with simpler things.
am attacted to hor fun! nice for winter! ❤
I love horfun...
Thanks for the recommendation. Adding to the priority list!
Please do .. support small businesses. And the food is awesome.

I'm beginning to wonder if this game came from THAT part of the world. I seem to remember my south Indian neighbours playing this game as well.

Hi Ryan, we used to call them knuckle bones in nz when growing up. Similar game. 😌
Strewth! No way! Hahaha... Were they little bags of sand as well?
I think in the 80s here in Australia they had that game too.
They were plastic white knuckle shaped things.
Toy stores used to sell them.

@@ryansofly haha no, I’m talking late 50’s early 60’s. I had a set for many years. 😊
@@rachkate76 yes white or silver looking knuckle bones downunder.
Very appertizing I am sure, but Ryan, I am a stick in the mud, pea, pie & chip guy for which I make no apology for. I await your next video !
Haha hey that's fine too, because my husband struggles with my meal choices! He's pretty much like you! 😉
