What's your all-time favorite food in Singapore? We're torn between duck rice, bak chor mee, and fish porridge/soup
You got to try out Laksa which is spicy creamy with coconut taste noodle.
hokkien mee
The fish bee hoon (white noodles) with milk soup at Bugis (Tan Quee Lan street, specifically) is my favourite. I will go there a couple times when I travel from US to Singapore. Can't find anything like that in the US, super good.
Glad you like the food here. Very torn between laksa, oyster omelette, chicken rice, mutton soup, lobster porridge, crab bee hoon and the list goes on.
All time favorite foods maybe, just too many 😂
Well done for going all the way to GM Market, not many tourist go there. But it's one of the local favorites island wide!
Wow I agree not many tourists will go to Ghim Moh Market. It has one of the best carrot cake in Singapore and the queue is also very very long and will sold out by noon.
Wow Sarah is so fair and beautiful. White and smooth as alabaster, porcelain, Cant help noticing. Glad u guys enjoying the local food...
Hi-Chews are my fav too! Lol. Reminds me of the innocence of young love😂
That fish soup looked so satisfying. I'm living vicariously through your travels through Southwest/east Asia. Thank you for that!
Here in Los Angeles, we have most of the things that you have experienced. Los Angeles has the most diverse, truly ethnic food cultures in the entire world. It's expensive though.
Lies again? Handsome America White King
You're most welcome - glad you enjoyed. The fish soup was such good comfort food!
We always hear that from our Los Angeles friends too - that you can get the best, widest variety of food all in one city. We've only been through LAX so haven't had a chance to see for ourselves yet. We'll definitely take a trip there some day. It sounds amazing!
The chicken rice is made by boiling rice is chicken stock, chicken fat , garlic, pandan leave ,
It’s a shame that not too many tourists go to our many hawker centres scattered all over Singapore to try authentic, diverse, cheap and yummy local food. Eating out in Singapore doesn’t have to break your bank if you know where to go.
We agree - so delicious and affordable!
please recommend me one, i'm in Singapore rn, still confused where to go 😢
@@mnlscw any of the HDB estates hawkers center all got authentic local food.
@@jjyf78 omg omg omg thankyou sm
come back again some day~ this fishporridge is a Teochew regional variant different from cantonese jook/congee. but still a comfort food thats easy on the stomach.
The Teochow version was so tasty! We'll definitely be back one day :)
Welcome to Singapore.
I really like how you travelled to the heartland to experience the real local life.
Thank you! We really enjoyed the chance to visit
Very wholesome video! Thanks for visiting :)
Thank you for watching! :)
Thank you for visiting our little red Dots ❤
Good vlog.
For your information, sour plum juice is made from pickled or fermented ume that's a product from Japan. You can check it out in Wikipedia under "Umeboshi".
It's popular in Singapore among the older generation. They often eat it (bit by bit) whenever they feel nauseating from illness or motion-sickness, it helps to suppress the feeling of wanting to vomit. The Singapore version (all imported) is pickled/fermented until sour but covered in salt. Hence the sour taste with a bit of saltiness.
Lastly, too bad that you went to Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre late, if you go before the lunch time crowd, you'll find a lot of the stalls are open. This food centre has a number of stalls that's awarded with the Michelin Bib Gourmand. Unfortunately, because of this, they also tend to have long queues resulting in most of them finishing early and closed; usually by 1.30pm - 2.00pm.
We really appreciate the info - Thank you! We've seen umeboshi before but weren't aware that's what this sour plum juice was made from. It was fun to try! And yes, sadly we couldn't fit in a trip to the market earlier due to our limited time - we figured we wanted to still give it a chance and got lucky with a few stalls
Glad both you enjoyed your trip here!
Hope to see your next trip videos...👍
They're best in the mornings and early afternoons
Sadly could only fit in a later stop this trip. We'll have to visit again next time!
At Gim Moh Hawker Centre,you guys should have tried the famous Braised Duck Rice coated with thick sticky sauce
That sounds so tasty! We'll have to try next time
Oooooh some of the best local dishes around. Even if they are not on the top of the list of favorites or most popular. So shiooook!!
👍👍👍
good 👍💯
For me, Ghim Moh are the following:
Char siew rice and the beef horfun somewhere in the middle stretch of the market.
But the rest of the food are good food too, really.
Both sound really tasty (we especially love beef horfun) - We'll have to try next time we visit
@@twobetween you can also consider the same market - the duck rice u havent. its also one of the better store beside the charsiew rice and beef horfun
Come back to SG soon!
Love how you guys are one of the few folks who travel inland ..
Away from the usual "tourist spots" many travellers frequent :>
Hey there! Thank you for showcasing Singapore and thanks a million for visiting Ghim Moh Food Centre! I'm saying this because I live in Ghim Moh Link, which is the newer estate across the market via the linkway. The market's well-known in Singapore. Yeah, the best timing to go there is in the morning and/or lunchtime where many of the well-known stalls open.
I'm sorry that you missed eating the shaved ice (we called that Ice Kachang, which means shaved ice with beans). If you go there again, be sure to visit the one and only dessert stall 金燕。Also, roast duck rice from 九江. Try steamed rice cakes from Ghim Moh Chwee Kueh. Food in Singapore tends to be less heavy on sugar and salt as the government wants use to make healthier choices.
You guys happened to chance upon the night market (pasar malam in Malay) situating around the place that's not always there. They move around from place to place selling street foods.
We'll definitely be stopping by Ghim Moh Food Centre again next time we visit. The Ice Kachang and Chwee Kueh sound delicious! We kept talking on our way to the market about how nice the area was near Ghim Moh. You live in a lovely area :)
glad u guys enjoyed your stay! Cheers 🎉
Thank you! :)
Yes the chicken rice is cooked in a delicate chicken broth with garlic and ginger.
I see, no wonder the rice was so delicious!
GM is such an underrated place to eat. Although if u were to visit next time, I would suggest eating the Beef hor fun there, its so delicious with tons of wok hey! Other than that, enjoy ur trip :)
Thank you! We'll have to visit again - we tried beef hor fun once at a different hawker center and really liked it, so I'm sure we'll love it at Ghim Moh too!
i think I will love the Tutus. Anything with peanuts is good for me 😁
You would love them 😊 great peanut flavor!
Hope this helps any tourist whom is looking to try the prawn donut, tutu kueh and tapioca pancakes. They are sold at the Pasar Malam (known as night market) they are roving so you might not always find them at Ghim Moh, so don’t worry if you don’t see them the next time you visit, they can be located elsewhere at another estate 👍🏻
Thank you for the info! We're glad we got to try some tasty treats at the Pasar Malam while it was there
Welcome to Singapore!
Thank you :)
Really love your videos!!
If you were to come back to Singapore, I would definitely recommend Lagoon Hawker Centre & Changi Village Hawker Centre.
Thank you so much! We're really hoping to visit again so will add those to our list :)
Oh wow, you managed to visit a night market! We call them “Pasar Malam”. It’s a malay language.
Pasar = market
Malam = night
Even for singaporeans pasar malams are a rarity because it randomly pops up. No one knows when or where LOL
Ohh we're lucky we caught it then - very tasty treats!
u need to visit Ghim Moh market in the morning, most of the stalls are close after 2-3 pm. They serve a breakfast/lunch crowd.
Yes, sadly this was the only free time we could visit during our trip
It seems that you arrived a bit late to Ghim Moh and many stalls have already closed. Good that you still found a few good stalls that operate after lunch hours.
We still enjoyed it this time, but we're definitely going to come back earlier next time we're in Singapore :)
Welcome to Singapore - you have just tried one of my favourite snacks, tu tu kueh! They are quite traditional, glad you enjoyed Ghim Moh hawker centre, you should have gotten their duck rice as it’s famous!
Thank you! We really loved the tu tu kueh. :) We'll have to try the duck rice next time.
That's a good Market. Even during office hours, we do go there once in a while even if it's a distance away. Crazy queue during lunch too with many office workers. Before you learn how to make Chicken Rice, you can buy the premix in supermarket too
Thank you. Yes! it's a good market. We want to come back here again during the day time so more stalls are open. If I live in Singapore, I would eat at hawker stalls any day.
Tiong Bahru Market has one of the better chicken rice stalls in Singapore, should try that out honestly.
Oooh the queue for that stall was huge every time we went, it must be really really good!
Good boy pretty girl goodluck guys
It’s great that you guys stumbled upon a mini night market! They’re set up across the year at different locations
Thank you! We loved the night market. So many great snack choices.
You two are so cute👀
Hi, welcome to SG! I live near where you all are staying, so I noticed that you did the 10 minutes walk to Tiong Bahru MRT.. it is a nice walk and all, but I hope you are aware of the “Transfer” scheme for public transport in SG. If you take a bus and then take MRT within the hour, it is counted as a single trip as long as it is different public transport (from bus to MRT, or from bus to another bus of different number). So even though it is only 2 bus stops from Tiong Bahru market to MRT, many locals would take the bus if they plan to take the train anyway. Enjoy your stay in SG! :)
Thank you! We weren't aware it would count as one trip. That's so convenient! We appreciate the tips :)
@@twobetween You’re welcome! Oh, if you need any ideas on where to eat around this area other than Tiong Bahru market, other great options nearby are Zion Riverside, Redhill Market, Bukit Merah View and Chinatown Complex :)
If you go earlier in the day, you should try the braised duck rice and the fried rice noodles (fried kway teow) there. They are 2 of the popular stalls at Ghim Moh market.
Thank you. We heard they're delicious! Next time we visit, we'll definitely have to try
It’s Vadai an indian savory snack n not a doughnut n need eat with raw green chili.
Thank you for the info! The stall had it labelled "Shrimp Donut" - Sounds like vadai would be really tasty with green chili :)
I guess it’s a gimmick for tourists or for those who don’t know what vadai is. 😁
Tutu Kueh is one of the things i missed eating when I was living in the USA. Simply cant find a substitute lol
Just some other suggestions, U should also try Boon Tong Kee chicken rice, and the roti prata shop in upper thompson road :)
Thank you for the suggestions!
You have to visit Ghim Moh Road Market in the morning. That's when everything is open haha. More varieties to choose from. More incentive to bring more people there to share all the food that you can try.
사라님은 미스유니버스 나가시면 입상할거같은데 😁
ㅋㅋㅋ 정말 감사합니다. 세라가 댓글 보고 웃네요
@@twobetween 🤭
Most of the hawker stall open on the days time, best go morning .
Yes sadly couldn't make it earlier - will hopefully visit again next time we're in Singapore
Ghim moh is more of a day market, so breakfast/lunch not so much dinner which y so many stalls are closed. But kudos for being adventurous!
Thank you for watching! Yes, we learned dinner wasn't the best time for the market. Maybe next time, we'll try coming here for lunch.
👍👏💪🇸🇬
The public announcement when waiting for the MRT train:
"There will be a delay for about 3 minutes"
Foreigners: No problem
Singaporeans: 3 #%^* minutes!!! This is wasting my time!!!
😂 we thought Seoul public transport was on time but Singapore is another level!
Tutu kueh is steam rice cake
Ghim MOH food centre is mainly a morning market. From your video, it looks like most stalls are closed. The Chinese mee Siam stall is really good. So are man other stalls. The Indian ginger tea is really good too.
Thanks for the info! We'll be sure to visit again next time we're in Singapore to try more :)
Best go in the morning to the hawker centre. Try the fried kway teow, satay mee hoon and fried chicken wings. Monday usually hawkers rest day.
Thank you for the tips! All those dishes sound tasty
You know how to appreciate fish porridge.... as the best you've had. Hmmm
4:11 this fish porridge is Teochew style while congee is more Cantonese style.
Ahh that help explains it. It was our first time trying Teochew style and we loved it!
You guys missed one of the best roast stalls in Singapore (Jiu Jiang), need to be in Ghim Moh Market in the morning..
Ah yes, we were running to try and catch it but just a few minutes too late! Sadly couldn't fit in a morning visit this trip but hope to be back one day
Ghim moh market is a morning market. You should go in the morning or early afternoon. You just missed out a lot of the good food which is available only in the morning.
Yes, sadly we didn't have any free mornings on this trip but we'll be back again next time we're in Singapore :)
The fish soup go well with rice or rice noodles
Noodles sound nice too. We had it with some rice
there is no sour plum in korea?
I don't think so, or at least we never tried it in Korea.
Try Bentong Kee chicken rice
Thank you! We'll have try that one next time we visit Singapore :)
Glad you both enjoyed being in Singapore
But have you guys tried DURAINS?
It's rather cheap now due to over supply
We love durian (especially Seunghyun) 😊 We regret not getting any during this visit but will try to next time we're in Singapore
Did you try durian .
Seunghyun was very tempted to try it but he decided not to.
There's nothing wrong with dark sauce on chicken... it's how we eat chicken rice too
The indian’s shrimp donut taste better with a piece of green chilli 🌶
That sounds delicious! We'll have to try with chili sometime
the chicken rice is cooked with chicken fat broth
Thank you, that explains why it was so delicious!
The fish soup is made by boiling lots of fish bones
They made it so yummy! Lots of good fish flavor
Are all the food video showing are organic food?
Are they encourage to eat organic food ?
Base on the price of organic ingredient, the organic food are tasteless and no much sweetness and flavor.
Should use approved more industrial food chemical to enhance the flavor of organic food.
Can make more things in the end out.
visit pakistan
For tourists visiting , don't be afraid to visit any hawker center. It will be a memorable experience
We would love to visit! Hopefully one day
