Hello Jonathan and family! As a Singaporean I'm really glad that you guys managed to explore some of the more local hawker centers, to get nice and affordable food. I would advise you to not leave your utensils on the table or tray, as they are not really clean for the most part. I was shocked to see Forest sitting on the floor and you guys being so chill about it, most parents here would yell at their kids as the floor is dirty! 😆 If you come back to Singapore, I recommend you all to go to Bedok 85, a local hawker centre in Bedok, the eastern part of Singapore. Their bak chor mee (minced pork noodles tossed in a tangy sauce with mushroom, fishcake etc) is really good, and you can try some other local delicacies such as satay, BBQ chicken wings, oyster omelette. Great to order a few dishes to share with the family! Also, sorry to see that Granite got a little upset after being yelled at by the Duck Rice stall lady! A lot of hawkers tend to be more impatient, especially when there are long lines. They just want you to quickly order so that the line can move along, and are not in the mood for small talk / too many questions haha. The older hawkers might not be very good in English as well and might not have understood Granite, which made them shout at him. Hope this young man is alright, and will not be deterred to try ordering again by himself! It's great that you and Kelly are training them to be independent since a young age! You are great parents and your kids are so well-behaved and eloquent. Hope to see you guys come back to Singapore in the future! 😃
Yeah Im American and I was suprised too that they let him do that 😅my parents would have told me to get up it’s dirty which I’m glad they did 😂 I guess some families don’t care
Thanks for the yummy recommendation! I'm not to worried about the floors in Singapore vs some of the other places we've visited in different countries. :-)
Mai xiasuey leh, why wanna side angmos? Maybe she didn't scream and he lied? Maybe there's communication barrier? Don't everything assume angmo number one and xiasuey yourself.
@@KosongIce nowadays a lot of Chao angry weird SG men online LOL all typing stuff like rabid dogs Damn funny. Why y'all always get so angry when you see people having happier and better lives?
Aww granite did so well at the ordering! the hawkers can get very shouty, it’s true. Hope he doesn’t feel discouraged from ordering on his own in sg in the future. The chili chicken looks amazing
Oh no, Granite look a little upset after what he had experienced. I hope this little champ is alright. Cheer up, Granite! We all love you and your family.

You should go 40 years I had been there once Only recently we had been there and always at 8pm After work ,left 2 stalls open But almost closing Nice chi zhar
Theres over 100 hawker centres in Singapore, I doubt many Singaporeans visited more than 50 of them in their lifetime. The funny thing is that when you come to RU-vid, only about 10-15 were ever featured (the same ones featured over and over because tourist never left tourist areas and just visit the ones they found on youtube). This is one of the few rare channels where the hawker centres visited are in the heartlands and is really adventurous to try different types of food.
Am Singaporean. Thanks for introducing our local Singaporean food, Bags packed family. It’s steam turnip inside the spring roll by the way. 😂 I enjoy watching your Singapore episodes. Sorry, some hawkers are more impatient and grumpy during peak periods. Hope Granite is not discouraged to order more local Singaporean dishes going forward. Have fun. 🎉
Hi..I’m so happy that you’re featuring Singapore local cuisine. 😊 please visit Bedok north block 85 food market! (And the evenings is the best, 7-8pm). Must try: Bak chok mee (minced pork noodles), Sambal Ray Fish with rice (spicy), Sambal Kangkong (morning glory/spicy), Satay, Pork Porridge and many more!! Enjoy! 👍🏻
hahahaha i love how u let forest just sit on the floor when he wasnt in the mood. an asian parent would start screaming at the kid cos of how dirty it is 😂 bless u guys haahah
Thank you so much! Sometimes Forest just needs a little time out when he starts feeling upset. His going on the floor is a way for him to self-regulating and work through his emotions. I hope that makes sense. :-)
@@BagsPackedFamily A suggestion... How about doing a video on your experiences in raising your children and teaching them how to self regulate their emotions... Forest does a great job in this! Will be very useful for parents!

Hi Jason i have just recently got to know your video and find it so lovely to watch how your kids are so adventurous with the food. Hope you enjoy Singapore and we do have really good vegetarian food for kelly as well and it will be wonderful to see a video of hunt of vegetarian food for kelly.
For a lot of asian food, you should eat the protein and the carb at the same time. the protein is usually intentionally made very salty from the sauce, and you moderate that based on your personal taste with the carb that tends to be less salty.
Hi Jess! Thank you so much for your continued generosity for our family! The kids are learning so much by traveling in this part of the world. This summer, we'll spend a little time in Indonesia before for heading back to the USA for a few weeks. We have some bug channel announced coming soon! :-)
Hi Jess! The kids just posted a video over on @bagspackedkids with a special message for you at the end of the video! Thank you so much again for all of your support for our channel! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EzjobsCNCBU.html
@BagsPackedFamily is there anyway you can buy (or have cedar pick out) my daughter a colorful bracelet from another country? I would gladly send funds.
Hi Jess. Cedar just picked out a special bracelet for your daughter, which we'll feature in an upcoming episode! Can you reach out to us on Instagram, or you can email us from the RU-vid About page. 😄
Hi Guys, love your latest video yes this is exactly the heartlands hawker centre that should visit more often. Not just their more affordable and there is more variety to choose from. From the comments I see there is already plenty of suggestions for other hawker centre no need to recommend anymore. Lastly do take note of the operating hours (most can be google). Look forward to more of your new video adventure soon. 😁👍👍👍
From Wikipedia: Grass jelly, also known as leaf jelly or herb jelly, is a jelly-like dessert eaten in East and Southeast Asia. It is created by using Chinese mesona (a member of the mint family) and has a mild, slightly bitter taste. It is served chilled, with other toppings such as fruit, or in bubble tea or other drinks.
Hi there, love your Singapore food videos. Dont forget to try Nasi Lemak, Char Kway Teow ( fried flat noodles ), oyster omelette, Mee pok dry noodles with soup on the side. Also dont forget to visit the newly opened BIRD PARADISE (Park), Botanical Gardens, Joo Chiat Katong for Peranakan food / snacks, MacRitchie Reservoir Nature Reserve TREE TOP WALK for a bird's eye view of a rainforest. Lots to do and see in Singapore !! Cheers !!! .
Wah...first time seeing videos from your family! Subscribed! Being a local, i havent been to sims ave hawker, the chili chicken seems interesting! Thanks for sharing 😊! Glad u and your family explored the local hawker food! Have a good stay and safe travels!
i worked near this food centre many years back... see this video brings back memories of enjoying the food there with colleagues everyday during lunch break.
GRANITE , I have been watching you all this time, quietly, but now i m telling you that you are a WONDEFFUL, POLITE, N CARING young man . Keep it up buddy, you will be a great man when you grow up . HIGH FIVE .😊😊😊😊😊❤
I love all the videos, my mum loves Forest! Maybe I’m noticing this in the incorrect way, but I found it very awkward for Sally to sit there and not be offered any food.
15:32 see that beehoon nasi lemak store? It's actually really popular, its already closed cause it's all sold out, also there's a carrot cake place directly opposite, the one towards the right end that's really popular😊
The spring roll filling is stewed shredded radish and bean sprouts. I think it's absolutely amazing parenting to let tweens learn independence and practise executive functioning skills
If you enjoy both the grass jelly and soy milk, you can order a "black white" or michael jackson next time you order. Its a very good combination, truly the best of both worlds
Over here in Malaysia we have a drink called Michael Jackson. It's a mix of the soya milk and grass jelly together. Maybe next time you guys can give it a try
@@chuanguan8510 Actually it's also known as Michael Jackson in SG for the longest time even if they don't print it on the menus. Like a secret code thing.
I second that suggestion. There's also a really reasonably priced Yong Tau Foo near the Laksa place and a pretty nice dessert store there too Also, there's a vegetarian/ vegan restaurant called Real Food and it's located at a picturesque spot at the Yishun Pond / Tzu Chi Humanist Centre.
I feel sorry for you guys, some seller are very rude I admitted it.. if you are longer here you would know anyway enjoy your vacation in Singapore Take care stay safe always.. Love you guys
Fun fact - do you know you can order "Michael Jackson" from any of the Soya drink stalls, it is a mixture of Soya drink and Grass Jelly drink! Grass refers to a kind of Herb it is made from.
Peace be upon you, Bags Packed Family. Do you guys plan to visit the very very modern & futuristic sites of Singapore like 'The Gateway Towers' or 'New-age HDB blocks' or any other futuristic locations you can find there?
What happened to Sally? She left halfway. She looked like being left out while your family enjoyed the food and talked among yourselves. You guys had a fell out?
Lol, i was literally wondering that myself. From the footage shown, it just feels like the family was doing their usual filming and ignoring the guest. I understand that it's a job but if you're bringing a guest along, shouldn't that be the highlight? (Aka, well travelled American travellers showcasing Asian food to their American friend) I mean that would be a different concept that'll bring in more views, no? If the guest was uncomfortable with the filming, (i mean, first of all they should have given the guest a heads-up before filming) they should've taken the footage of her out altogether or just not post the entire outing because the end result just feels like a murder mystery, lol. I honestly don't believe that she wasn't feeling well because there wasn't anything mentioned in the filming about the guest leaving at all, in fact, aside from the 1 question asking the guest if it was her first time in a hawker centre, there was absolutely no other engagement with her in the video. I mean... why include her in the video in the first place then? However, there might be other factors involved. Maybe the guest did not enjoy hawker food (i mean, she literally did not order any food of her own) and knowing that the host is such a conversant fella as seen in other videos, i find it weird that he did not engage with the guest at all. Perhaps then it might be true to the original comment about them having a falling out. All in all, it just raises more questions than is necessary for a travel vlog but i still like to think the Bags Packed Family are a wholesome bunch so heads-up guys, just be mindful of your edits because this video makes you guys look very self absorbed about filming the vlog and ignoring the guest/friend altogether. If there really was a falling out, maybe it just might not be worth it to post the video at all? But then again, i had to scroll all the way down to find others mentioning this sentiment so clearly the majority doesn't see it as a problem. Oh well, it's only my 2 cents and it ain't worth alot, lol.
Wait im a bit confused as to why your friend Sally was introduced but didn't eat anything at the table and disappeared from the video rather abruptly without y'all acknowledging her? O.o
Just so you know, it is general practice that if you need any extra plates, bowls. or cutlery, the hawkers will provide if you ask. You can always buy tissues at the drinks stall. And where is your friend?
Long long time ago, we brought a down under Aussie for a hawker meal, Curry Fish Head. 🤭 When our local girl chopstick to dig up and ate the Fish Eyeballs, the Aussie nearly puked out his mouth.... 🤣😂 may be it was a disgusting culture shock for him.
Grass Jelly is sadly not a very good translation. The "grass" is a literal translation from Chinese, in this case meaning more like "herb". The herb used in is literally translated as "Fairy Herb" or "Herb of the Immortals(mythical creature/person) " ... So the better translation for this drink would be Fairy Herb Drink or Herb of the Immortals Drink
You're 100% right I'm building the kids confidence I started when I was little at like 11 years old things were different back when I was growing up my mom needed like $200 out of the bank she called the bank and I rode my bicycle up there to get money cuz she couldn't drive a car to pay furniture people when they were coming to our house that will make your right that'll make your kids be able to do things this world is hard out there and God bless you you're preparing your kids the right way you're 190 zillion percent right
I'm a Singaporean I used to spent about 100$ food hunting in Singapore and Johor , not to evaluate how delicious it is but to taste at different areas especially Malay food 🤣😅😂🤪😋😛😝😜
Tips if using both utensils Spoon with right hand Fork with left hand. Put food into mouth with right hand only because we use left hand to wipe our a** in toilet And scoop rice with spoon
