Absolutely love Singapore, Singaporean, their unique accent, efficiency, FOOD and weather (yes its hot but in Japan its too cold). Been studying in Singapore since 2011 and now working in Singapore for my 5th year now. Shiok la!
would love to see you try authentic Malay food as well while you're still here in singapore! hajah maimunah would be a great place to start with as they have a variety and their food isnt bad nor super pricy! id recommend the ayam merah (a spicy chicken made with roasted dried chili) lemak chili padi (coconut milk based gravy with a surprising amount of spice) and definitely begedil (potato cutlets! a nice soft potato texture atop with everything else)
As a westsider in Singapore, i can confirm Jurong Point is probably the best mall in Singapore, with all the varieties of shopping, food and even the layout of the place is good. Its very easy to get from one end of the mall to the other, the carpark is massive and NEVER full even on peak periods. The MRT is right beside and the bus interchange is inside the mall. Don Don Donki is opening there at the end of the year as well! This mall literally has everything, can be crowded at times but it sure isn't as bad as Jurong East's JEM.
I was having an absolutely awful day, but, Mr. Chen, your videos never fail to put me in a better mood. Your attitude never fails to elevate mine. Thank you!
I live about five minute walking distance from this mall.. there were times I walked around for more than one hour just deciding what to eat for dinner because there are just way too many options. If only I had Mike’s appetite and metabolism then things would be easier😂 Speaking of the west side there’s also Jurong east mrt station with its three malls.. (there’s also the visual exchange area near the station).. within the malls 2 don don donki outlets and their food courts, ikea and its foodcourt, and myriads of other food options I feel stressed everyday choosing what to eat hahaha
😅😅Very true.. Being someone recently moved in to SG and staying at a walkable distance from here .. I'm always confused what should I try in Jurong Point..Mostly endup my regularl Indian restaurant with a guilty feeling.. 😔 😭
You were in my neighbourhood... BTW, the small dish which they "give", quickly refused just before they put on the table, no matter how tempting it is. Some restaurants will ask if you want it before serving it. And you mentioned if they re-use, a very good reason not to accept it.
I prefer to support the mom&pop stalls, or hawker stalls... in the malls... It would have to be a pretty superior dish to get me to go to a chain shop (like crystal)... Really hate the shops which (deceptively) issue you items, dishes, napkins etc to charge you without asking... The pork belly bun is on my list... lol
Monaka has been my favorite style of ice cream sandwich since my visit to Tokyo three years ago...sooo good! I think I'd gain about 20 pounds if ever I went to Singapore with how much good food there is to eat out that way. Japanese curry is a favorite thing of mine to eat as well, and CoCo Curry Ichiban was a good place to go--but next time I go? I will definitely seek out the curry places you liked in Jinbocho! (I bet Miss Christine got a laugh out of you being chewed out by the Auntie, too.)
Wow that mall is huge and looks amazing 🤩 I want to visit and see that mall. It’s like walking on the street seen all those food vendors in that food court. Every food has his own place 😊 that food look so good
You really should turn SG into your second homebase. From there you can easily explore plenty of original Southeast Asian food culture with a simple plane ride in the weekend. Malaysian, Thail, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Pinoy foods are some of the bests in the world and deserve more recognition.
I feel the same way… but it feels like Mike is only interested in East Asian cuisine, which is a shame because there’s so much else out here in Southeast Asia :/
Love all your videos details and informing us about the best dishes.I can't believe you mention our favorite spot in Glendale Din Ti Fung yes Alitalia pricey but so worth it enjoy your stay in Singapore
What's the thing with those wet napkins and the extra food they just bring out without explaining, feels like a bit of a scam to leave them on the tables and then go "oh they're not free". wtf
Very near where I grew up… from no JP at all to JP1 and now JP1&2 with this Japanese food street… used to be my favourite hangout in my school days, miss those days!
I don't think it's usually. Should be all of them. Some of the staffs don't really got bothered by it and just don't try to bring tons of outside foods or do it when it's crowded, and you'll be fine.
Ladies and gents, kids of all watching, note, NOTE, eating and posting what you eat IS a viable career. The above guy is proof and so is best ever food review show.
Loll. I was thinking if someone will tell him off for eating in the foodcourt because there are people who will do that if you bring in outside food. Turns out same thing there. But thats common here as most places don't allow outside food.
Been watching your channel for quite some time and love the content. But damn dude if you're going to wear a t-shirt everywhere at least iron the f****** thing!.
Putting out a dish and tissues in front of you and not specifying that they cost money is DODGY in my book!!!...... and no, you shouldn't have to "already know" or ask the waiter person either!!!
Hey Mike. Happy Monday, & Halloween 🎃. Not sure if u celebrate. But ijs! The meals look great.. Be safe tonight if u are out.. I know u travel. But yea... 🐞😋❤️
If only you could come to Singapore earlier as before renovation Kopitiam at Jurong Point had a store selling curry beef brisket with rice which I always patronize but sadly it has been permanently closed since last year before the renovation & what I heard was they stopped because of raising ingredients cost & rental This dish was so rare to find because I haven't seen anywhere else sold curry beef brisket and that store was very close to me
Even the fishball noodle stall that was previously at where Harvey Norman is currently, then moved to JP1 pre-renovated Kopitiam, also gone after renovation. Me and my sister really liked their Laksa.
I live near there and almost had my meals twice per week there!!! never got to meet u TT and you should have tried the legendary dimsum !!! its really goodd
Mikey, I loved that Whistling song you played as you walked on to Japan Street! What was it? Oh and you can't fake how bad that last restaurant really was lol
Thats a good t-shirt idea . When I want random food I go to the buffet ! 😆 Or a shirt that's says "flavor inspector" please remain silent when I'm recording. Any good bubble teas places? I like good food and tea , they go together .
Yeah Crystal Jade relatively expensive for what it is one arrr. Nice Xiao Long Bao. It's the first restaurant I went to when I went to work in SG. Real estate agent take me in between visits to overpriced condo la. Anyway I rent something that day. REA happy. Im happy and food shiok la
To mister Mikey Chen my mom uses salt if something is too sweet I also use alittle salt when something is too sweet sea salt is really good especially the pink kind that also helps and honey is good just have a spoonful of water down orange flavor honey that should help and then drink water after that also gets rid of the sweet flavor and drink milk if it’s too spicy oh there’s soy milk that’s good if you you’re lactose and intolerant or coconut milk is good and goats milk should be okay my oldest brother can’t drink cows milk he can only drink goats milk.
Hey mike love your videos! But hope you explore other cuisines as well. Don’t see you trying much Indian food or Malay cuisines when in fact these also make up the core food culture in Singapore.
I know the reactions may be drummed up for the video.. but Mikey's reactions to the flavours and fragrances from the food in Singapore makes me wonder and worried, how bland is the everyday diet in the US...?
Hi is there a place where I can eat my take away food if it's not allowed in a food court? I was planning to travel to Singapore one day and would like to know.
You can eat at the food courts provided you buy from the stalls in that food court. No outside food allowed. If there aren’t seating area available, you can eat at the seating area that some Malls have. Usually, there are some of them for people to rest for a while.
