What did you guys think? Any new foods you learned about? If you're a local please send us more recs! (but no seafood 🙈 we know that's hard). Thanks so much for watching and we will see you back in 🇲🇾✌🏼
99% of tourists will miss these awesome experience: 1) Order a meal at Zi Char Stall. These are great for groups to try different freshly made dishes to go with rice. Typically found in coffeeshops in the neighborhoods, and hawker stalls, usually eaten as dinner. Popular dishes are - KangKong (vegetable) with sambal sauce. Not too spicy. - Cereal Prawns are recently invented dish but usually a hit with someone trying home like dishes for the first time. It is crunchy fried prawns. - Sweet and Sour Pork. Another variety is "Pai Koot Wong". A must for kids! They willll love it! - Salted Vegetables Soup. We Asians love a good bowl of hot soup for dinner. Hot meals!! 2) If you are worried about ordering dishes with such a set up, another option would be Economic Rice Stalls. These are the stalls that you see plate loads of different dishes laid out. You simply browse, and point to the "uncle" (we address any servers who are older than as uncle or aunties, if younger, it's just hello! Lol) which ones you fancy. We typically take about 2 meat dishes with one veg, or whichever way your stomach demands. These are served as individual serving, vs the zi char cooking which is communal, family sharing. 3) Since you have had experience with Malay food in Malaysia, then try the Peranakan (Nonya) Food here. It is a heritage fusion of Malay and Chinese food. Nonya Laksa is a good way to start. Janggut Laksa in Roxy Square in Katong is good. Forget about what many tourist guide that points you to 328 laksa, inauthentic . Hahahaha. Also Nonya chicken curry, totally different from Indian curry. Eaten with French loaf! 4) If we see a foreigner, especially westerners eating the following, you have our utter respects haha: - Bak Chor Mee, and knowing to add a dash of vinegar in the noodle if you ordered the dry version. - Prawn Noodle. And making your way through the prawn shells, knowing to add a dash of dry chilli powder into the noodle or the soup. - Any Soups from stalls that sells variety of soups. These are often nourishing soups, earten for specific supplementary needs. From collagen support to aiding energy. Eaten with a plain bowl of rice. - Sup Tulang!! Beef bone marrow! This is the ultimate, you get your hands all red handling the large bones, knocking and sucking out, witj a straw sometimes, the marrow!!! 5) Assam Curry Fish Head . Truly a fusion of local heritage. Invented by an Indian and wanting to attract chinese customers many decades ago. You can ask for just the vegetables, skipping the fish head😂
if you do go back for Kaya Toast, make sure you remember the pepper and soya sauce - there will also be small spoons which you can help yourself to - that is what you use to eat the eggs with! Some people like to eat the eggs separately from the toast, some like to dip them. There's no right or wrong. If you go back to Malaysia (especially Penang), some breakfast coffee shops will also serve toast and half boiled eggs. The toast usually will be butter and sugar in most places. The Singaporean version is more elevated - both slightly different. Neither better than the other - no food fights here, the fight is ongoing on another thread!
What a legend you are Eugene! We do appreciate the advice :) We're just here to try new foods and learn, that's all. Zero interest on silly fights... hopefully we do get to go back to both places, but based on this, it seems like we would try it again in SG. Thanks again ✌🏼
And we love making them! We don't eat much when we're making the other videos hahaha so these ones guarantee the calories for the whole week 😂 it was a miracle we made this one though... we were hungover for 4 days and didn't sleep much, so we're proud of ourselves 😂
Usually our coffee is favoured with condensed or evaporated milk depending on whether you order kopi(condensed) or kopi si(evaporated). If you just want black coffee, we order as Kopi O.
Kaya toast is an iconic dish with kaya (coconut egg spread, pandan often) and the eggs should be eaten with white pepper and soy sauce plus the toast dipped into it.
HI :) Thanks so much for sharing this! Oh we had no idea about adding white pepper and soy sauce to the eggs. They didn't really come with anything else! Next time I guess.. 😊
I just got back from Singapore and gotta say the one thing I truly appreciate is the cleanliness of their public/mall toilets. Altho I did miss the bidet or "bum gun" as not all toilets there have it. 😅
@@waysoftheworld_ as some may have said in other comments, add some pepper and dark soy sauce and just eat it. i had the soft boiled eggs since young even before kaya toast was so popular. some may like to have the toast dipped into it, but i prefer them seperated. haha
@@waysoftheworld_ You will need to try popiah though! Check out how the popiah skin are made! There is a long standing popiah shop in Joo Chiat that you can see how they are made :) Old Airport Hawker has a stall that make them not too bad! Look for the stall with a purple signboard "QiuLian" if I recall the name correctly.
It's slab of butter NOT magarine. Th e butter is kept cold in ice so it still maintains its shape when layered in the warm bread. And the dollops in the drink are condensed milk.
The soft boiled eggs take a little getting used to. Adding some soy sauce and white pepper is the way they are normally eaten. It’s been ten years since I was last in Singapore and I still have cravings for kaya toast and eggs.
hahaha yes! Also, wish we had known the proper way to eat them honestly. It sounds like a game changer to add soy sauce and white pepper. We hope you get to satisfy your craving soon 🙏🏼
Welcome to Singapore🌹FYI the half boil egg should come with black soya sauce n pepper for you to add to it's flavour，n oso a small spoon to scalp the egg white inside the shell🙏Hope u will enjoy your stay here🌹💞
Thanks so much! We had a great time and still need to go back to see more and to visit our friend of course :) and yes, we have to try the kaya toast again!
guys....i love your videos and such great tips!!! i will be in Singapore in november and was wondering where you stayed in singapore. Love it that you often stay in airbnb's.......please if you have good tips for places to stay let me know. keep on making great videos please. Greetings from Amsterdam The Netherlands
Hiiii! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️ We would have stayed in an Airbnb for sure, but we have a close friend living there, so we stayed with him. Sorry we don't have any accommodation recs 🙈 PS: G's parents are Dutch - we were just in AMS in June visiting his opa ;) We'll share a food tour video in a couple of months (we're behind) - Take care and safe travels to SG 😊
So murtabak, kaya toast, satay and carrot cake are the same food available both in Singapore and Malaysia. Popia is also available in both countries, albeit differently made. The Din Tai Fung in Malaysia also have some uniquely Malaysian dishes only. Its local food for both these countries as the locals in both of these countries are of a similar composition. Peace ✌️
@@waysoftheworld_ Outskirts maybe. Tourists areas perhaps not so. But then again the exchange rate is 1 SGD to 3.2 MYR. Try eating in urban JB (Johor Bahru).
The 2 hawker centres (Lau Pa Sat & Newton Good Centre, Satay By The Bay) u guys been to are the touristy ones. U should venture out to the public housing estates and u will find much more affordable and yummy food.
U should try the best Kaya toasts from either Ya Kun or Killiney Kopitiam. U get real original butter version with butter slices sandwich in the toasts and not the Planter margarine version.
If you like DTF soup dumplings (XLB) you must go to Taipei, the original. The chain restaurants can't compare. Popiah is usually made with a crepe like wrapper. You didn't say how much that Singapore Sling cost...in 2018 it was around $37...😁
OMG we would die with the food in Taiwan! We want to spend some time there next year, so fingers crossed 🙏🏼 - and yes, the Sling was $37! Ouch! I guess the price has not changed in 5 years 😂
Noooo ! I don’t know why tourists / foreigners dip their kaya toast into the soft~boiled egg 🤔 By the way, we add dark soy sauce into the egg. Eat the toast separately as it’s nice & crispy. Why soften it in the soggy egg ?🙃
Even for locals some dip and some don't as well. There is no hard and fast rules to how one eats their toast and eggs. For me, sometimes I dip, sometimes I don't. Depends on my mood.
@@waysoftheworld_we would also take the entire saucer and slurp it up directly! Some people love the yolk so much that they don't beat the eggs and just scoop out the yolk and eat it as a whole..so that it bursts in their mouth instead.

Singapore 🇸🇬 is not your typical South East Asia city that you have visited i.e. Thailand🇹🇭, Philippines 🇵🇭, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Indonesia 🇮🇩, Vietnam 🇻🇳, Cambodia 🇰🇭, Myanmar 🇲🇲 or even Brunei 🇧🇳. A combination of Modern Architecture surrounded by old British 🇬🇧 colonial buildings with lush foliage on the skyscrapers. Very westernized and contemporary yet still preserve the old rustic looks of old village settings. The price of accommodation and food tends to be on the pricey side if you dine on a mostly touristy flank. Go to hawker centers for cheaper options in Singapore 🇸🇬. There is plenty of it here and to approximate is beyond comparison. Hope you relish the adventure of staying here in Singapore 🇸🇬.
@@waysoftheworld_ There's usually small baskets holding a pair of condiments (dark soya sauce & pepper) near the counter for your 'self-service' to bring it along with you to your table to have them with your soft-boiled eggs (& return the baskets to the stall after finishing your meals).

Or if you can see any patrons finished using them on their tables, just ask them politely if you can have them, they will most likely say 'go ahead'.
Not recommend to watch this video on empty stomac 🤣 I literally had to pause the video and grab something to eat 🤣🤣 . Thanks for another delicious video 🤩🤩
Carrot Cake is literally translated from Hokkien dialect. “White” Radish and “Orange” Carrot we all knew as in Hokkien are both called “Cai Tao”. So “Cai Tao Kueh” literally means “Carrot Cake”.😊
Great video, I am surprised who cheap the food is considering that Singapore is expensive. I would carry a rubber band for Aimara for the chopsticks lol, jk Cheers
Yes, street food is not bad at all and some restaurants as well were surprisingly affordable. We ate out the whole time we were there and it was always WAY CHEAPER than the US... that being said, alcohol is pricey and so are entrance fees and accommodation. AND I actually like the idea of the rubber band lol 🤣 Have a great weekend Julio! 😊
Singapore was a state in Malaysia until both split. Before that it was part of straits settlement like penang and melaka. Obviously the food is similar
@@waysoftheworld_ You may want to tried the toast at home. Its easy, boil the eggs for about 4 mins. Add little soya sauce and pepper. Toast your white breads or steam them to get soft nice breads. Then dip the breads in the soft boil eggs. This is how we have our breakfast early in the morning in both Singapore and Malaysia.
Hi :) We had just spent 30 days in Malaysia and went back to KL after SG for 9 more days. We made 12 Malaysia videos, including food specific ones. So for this video, we decided to feature other foods for the sake of not having repetitive content. Nothing to do about not wanting to highlight Malay food. We love Malaysia so much, as you can see in our Malaysia travel series ;)
@@waysoftheworld_ This is a dish where deep fried popiah is one of them. So that uncle was not wrong. But what you are looking for is not this type. The correct one is not fried. You will see the hawker take a white circular thin wrap and put some vege, eggs, etc and then wrap them up, like the wraps.
KFC and McDonalds are from USA. Aroy Thai Restaurant is from Thailand, Some Cantonese Dim Sum outlets are from Hong Kong. Some Hot Pots restaurant are from China, Some Turkish Restaurant are from Turkey. Pho Restaurant is from Vietnam, Jolly Bee from The Philippines, Saboten Tonkatsu restaurant fromJapan, Bronga from South Korea, Mr. Smith Fish and Chips from UK........
No. In fact many food in both S'pore and Msia originated in China and neighbouring countries. I am sure S'pore chinese are able to create new dishes too. Did Msia create Singapore Sling too ?As for the 'carrot cake", the S'pore version is made of raddish and rice flour (Msian version was made of rice flour only ,and was called "角粿‘ ,not sure if they hv diff version now）and has the white version that Msia didn't hv in the past.
@@choyjoonkit Let's be honest, when tourists and foreigners praised the food in Singapore, Malaysians like you are often triggered and turned salty. Singaporeans on the other hand are often magnanimous to say Malaysia have nice food too. If based on what you said that authentic food in SG is from Malaysia, how can the food taste bad, you are contradicting yourself!
Fun Fact: eating Malaysian food turns you into a ridiculous green-eyed monster who will readily jump into a forum talking about Malusian food when the topic is about Singapore food.

That's is not margarine, it's butter. Margarine contains unsaturated fat and is definitely not healthy compared to butter.
ok then, butter it is ;)

Malaysia certainly has alot to learn and copy from Singapore
Fun fact: every authentic food in SG is from Malaysia. 😏
No. In fact many food in both S'pore and Msia originated in China and neighbouring countries. I am sure S'pore chinese are able to create new dishes too. Did Msia create Singapore Sling too ?As for the 'carrot cake", the S'pore version is made of raddish and rice flour (Msian version was made of rice flour only ,and was called "角粿‘ ,not sure if they hv diff version now）and has the white version that Msia didn't hv in the past.
@@kaiserlow652 let's be honest, SG version of food taste bad 🤧
@@choyjoonkit Let's be honest, when tourists and foreigners praised the food in Singapore, Malaysians like you are often triggered and turned salty. Singaporeans on the other hand are often magnanimous to say Malaysia have nice food too. If based on what you said that authentic food in SG is from Malaysia, how can the food taste bad, you are contradicting yourself!
@@choyjoonkit so are you saying that all tourists who visited s'pore are not honest?
Fun Fact: eating Malaysian food turns you into a ridiculous green-eyed monster who will readily jump into a forum talking about Malusian food when the topic is about Singapore food.
