The dish which the Mandarin-speaking girl was eating is generally known in English as 'Five-Spice Rolls' 五香卷. But it is more popularly shortened to either 'ngoh hiang' or 'gor hiong' depending on dialect (the Mandarin pronunciation is 'wu xiang' 五香). The full name is 'ngoh hiang hae piah' ('wu xiang xia bing' 五香虾饼) or, for older folks like me, 'tow kuah hae piah' 豆瓜虾饼. The stalls selling this dish typically has many deep-fried meatballs, rolls, fritters, etc. to choose from. They are mostly seasoned with Five-Spice Powder 五香粉, hence the name. She had specifically picked the prawn fritter ('hae piah ji' 虾饼煎) & one type of meat rolls 肉卷 (AKA errorenously as 'lor bak' since the meat may not be braised).
Great video that reminds me of the early classic days of ghib exploring Singapore. Always fun to see fresh faces having a first look at our food and culture. Especially on their day 1 visit.
So heartwarming to see Ghib promoting our local hawker food to his fellow countrymen. You can tell that Ghib loves his hawker food and he is so proud to share it 😊
Thank you Ghib for always producing videos of Singapore in such a fun, humorous and knowledgeable way! Always keep up the good job! Maybe you can try to film some free activities in a video as bagpackers usually wanna do! Thank you and keep up the awesome content!
This is thoroughly a great experience for them. Introducing them our vast options on food. Glad Ghib managed to also introduce Prata and Rojak. Thank you to the students who are game to try these food at the hawker centre.
Mass media and commercials really skewed foreigners impression of Singapore, glad that Ghib helps to show the normal Singaporean culture, food and people.
@@GhibOjisan red bean soup nvr add coconut one. Red bean add the dried cny orange peel, last time mothers will collect all the peel after we eat ,dry under the sun to use for red bean soup. You ask ur MIL😊
Thank you Ghib’s time and video for being Singapore Food ambassador … As always, your videos will made me need to grab something to eat😂😂😂. How I wish our hawker centre can be more cleaner ….especially the toilets! Sometimes so xia suay to the public and tourists .
Agree. People take their plates, bowls away but left a dirty table behind. The cleaners are slow in cleaning the tables and the subsequent diners have to live with a dirty table.😢
The tied packet, there's a trick for it. U take the tip of the red string, then goes opp direction, it will un-tighten the whole thing, at the end u can open it easily. (For example it was tighten in clockwise, u go anti clockwise) 是非試して見てください 😁
This is very interesting to watch. Ghib san should get some locals to intro them more about our local food? Maybe that would help to explain more stuff to foreigners.
Great episode….intriguing how they find certain foods interesting like coconut drink with straw Why title is Japanese girls....got boy also ma Right? Lol
Ghib is promoting Singapore's amazingness in the inside instead of what Singapore looks from the outside. I appreciate how you love our local foods here in Singapore. Might as well just call you bro now since you are like a true singaporean to know so much things xD.
Awesome video Ghib! Always so fun to learn Japanese with your videos. The parting statement of Jippun Lang Zao Liao would have been hilarious 😂 また、ありがとうございます！
Correction, the 'red bean' dessert is not red beans but pulut hitam which is black rice. It is actually a porridge eaten with coconut milk and is a hot dessert.
Hi Ghib n all,, that asam tea that kosei san order asam means sour thats why its sour,, and that red bean thing its called Pulut inti hehe,, i m scared he will get lau sai 🤣,; tonikaku mina de isyobi tabete tanoshikatta ne,, Ghib 今日 のお誕生日 おめでとう ね🎉🍺👍😅
In telepathic videos its possible to deliver smell, and taste for viewers! Secret services have been using this feature for over 15 years, and its about time to publish it for the whole world.
Am I right in thinking that Koh-san must be from Guangdong? Her mum cooks Cantonese porridge and her surname is also dialect. It's actually exactly the same as some Singaporeans.
OMG! I think I am having a brain explosion watching these beautiful sheltered people. Assam is probably my favourite tea. I think a lot of Westerners adore Assam and Assam type of strong black tea. Sour? Was it mixed with something? Lemon? A huge mug of hot Assam tea (without any extras) is the best thing in winter.
Apparently. i will come here at least one a week to have my breakfast...... Porridge and Chee Cheong fun ...sometimes the Soon Kueh as well...which is just located behind when the girls were sitting... LOL
Ngo hiang aka wu xiang (五香) originated in China so it exists there, just not the region where Koh is from. It is only found in Fujian region where most Singaporeans' ancestors come from. In Taiwan where most of their ancestors also come from Fujian, it is also called 鸡卷 (ke-kng). In Malaysia Penang its called lobak (卤肉).
have you tried prata from Indian vegetarian stalls? the few I tried serve prata with a different gravy (either with dal or veg curry) and they do not add chilli, so it's not spicy (ie not hot). I personally prefer my pratas from these veg stalls. actually the chinese veg cai png (mix veg) stall at alberts food centre tastes like home cooked food and a taste I associate with the earlier generations. its one of the tastes that's disappearing with more senior hawkers retiring
Why do Singaporeans eat do peppers? You may want to explain that peppers grow well in the tropics, and are a spice that adds flavor and interest to any food, including vegetables . More importantly combined with the heat and the spice, one tends to sweat more and that is the natural way your body keeps from overheating. Do not forget also that India was known for their spices, and that is why Columbus ventured out to find a passage to India to bring the valued spices to Europe. You may want to do a video for new immigrants to Singapore what they should do to try to put up the heat and humidity. Keep on doing what you are doing.
Jajan felt something like ta-da, way of expression. From Google: an imitation of a fanfare (typically used to indicate an impressive entrance or a dramatic announcement
Yup... Even some locals have trouble untiying coffee, chili or any sort of tied package... So, only 'true locals' can do it... And order coffee in Singlish... 🤣😂
somehow I am glad Lau Par Sat or Newton Hawker Center isn't the first 2 places he brought them.. these 2 places are seriously overhyped and famous for overcharging tourists...
