Hey guys! The much-requested JB Grocery Shopping Vlog is finally up! Just wanted to point out a few things in the vlog: 💹 Exchange rate used is SGD1 = RM3.3 (missing the RM3.5 days…) ⚠️ JB’s Aeon and SG’s FairPrice are used because they are pretty similar in terms of brand rep & quality. ‼️ Of course you may find cheaper alternatives at various stores and when products are on sale, but for ease of price comparison, I’m using largely everyday non-promo prices from the two supermarkets. 💁🏻♀️ If you have better lobangs to share, please don’t gatekeep and leave your tips in comments below!
It's helpful that you also put the dish that you all cooked with the ingredients purchased! It gives us inspiration for what we can cook at home with those ingredients too 😊 And nope... pads aren't TMI at all, in fact, would have liked to see a comparison with Venus rather than Fairprice for that (as well as their soap refills) since Venus generally has more competitive pricing for such items than Fairprice does. But all in all, really, appreciate the effort put into all this and thanks for sharing! 🥰
Thank you!! Thanks to my MIL, we get to enjoy the fresh produce in yummy dishes heh. Oh the price of the pads were specifically compared to Venus pricing bc I buy there too haha! But yeah you’re right, the soap refills could be cheaper there too!
I used to stock up Milo powder from Malaysia 2kg packs many years ago as it’s so much cheaper. However I realised Malaysian made Milo is really sweet compared to the ones made in Singapore. Then my neighbour told me not to drink their Milo as she has a friend who works in Nestle Malaysia factory and they actually add something dubious to the milo powder. That explains why your throat feels scratchy and sandy after drinking it. The worker said most Malaysian Chinese know about it and won’t touch Milo, it’s mostly drunk by the Malays there. 😅 Anyway I switched back to SG made milo and I find the quality much better.
Omg whattt. I never knew that! Also, I found it incredulous that there is no Milo Kosong sold in JB supermarkets. In fact many of the instant beverages do not come in kosong ver.. bless their health 🥲
Most of my Malay friends don't drink Milo because of boycotting. They switched to Vico or local brand like Oligo choco, Malco. Even my friend who work in Nestle marketing also said that their sales dropped in past 2 years. Maybe because she said that their biggest consumer mostly are Malay.
Super Vlog! ❤ Love the grocery shopping at AEON, one of my favourite grocery stores in Malaysia. Also, love Cold Storage for the imported products. Looking forward to more shopping vlogs in Malaysia ❤
I discovered this Aeon Mall Permas Jaya in March this year as I stayed in a hotel in Permas for a week while my SG house toilets were being renovated. It is not crowded at all and few Singaporeans. Great for dry groceries but the fresh produce there are not fresh!! 😅 Permas Jaya has quite good eateries but it is a bit laid back and nothing much happening there. Giant in Perling Mall is also good if you want to avoid crowds like Lotus at KSL which sucks.
FR?? We found their fresh produce quite fresh! Much better than Lotus. And yes PJ has a good selection of eateries and kopitiams, at local friendly prices. I found Giant to be the most overpriced supermarket in JB so we’re never going back haha
It's the first Jusco in JB and used to be crowded, but getting lesser ppls becos other mall offer more variety of shop. But its a good choice if you're going there for groceries.
Like that we get to hear your actual voice now haha! But wah, Malaysians are gonna hate us even more now when we crowd their supermarkets and chope their groceries lol 😅
Warming up to voice commentary haha! Actually I see Singaporeans & Malaysians as collaborative. They come and work in SG, we go and shop in MY, both are contributing to the economy in diff ways, win-win hahaha
Lebih 50% mahal, no wonder lah orang Singapore selalu beli kat Malaysia. Kalau aku jadi orang Singapore, aku pun sanggup beli kat Malaysia. Dahlaa dekat
for prawns, i always have a slight pinch on the head. if it's firm and hard then good, if its soft n mushy then skip. homesoy is sold in sg ah, just that it's alot more ex compare to malaysia so yea i drink homesoy when i am in malaysia. in sg if buy i buy yeos
Actually, that's the typical, very authentic char siew type in Sarawak. It's always like cardboard thin, no fat, just lean meat. The classic type for kolo mee in Sarawak.
yes you should not share. And do take note and you should inform everyone, the Singapore customs don't check everyone but mostly will and when they do, they will ask you to throw away all the raw meats and seafood.
I used to like bukit indah area bcs there are barely any singaporeans when i started going there from 2017, but from mid 2023 onwards i noticed that there are more and more singaporeans. So i discovered a new place where there wasnt any singaporeans in sight, however noticed just a handful of singaporeans lately, probably because of a recent article which promoted 2 food stalls from there. Please dun crowd my new place, the food items are also much cheaper there
Chances are , the shops themselves will start hiring influences and managing their own publicity . Shops can be gate kept for a while , after that they themselves will want to start making money non linearly
People keep saying things across the border are cheaper. That is because of our strong currency. If you work there with their salary you will not say things there are cheap. About the Milo I once bought a packet and indeed the taste was weird.
Hi, have been following your vlog Thank you for posting the JB adventures, may I please check which is the peking restaurant, there are 4 branches in JB and looking for the same one in your vlog, thanks so much 😊
Thanks for sharing. Sorry for being nosy but I am a bit concern that you are attracting unnecessary attention on the import GST as you "documented" what you bought on a day trip including medication which can easily exceed the relief amount. Just be careful lah 😅
@@yuldazeHong Yun Food Court at Setia Indah. inside the got one lala noodle call Bostun Steam Lala. They also got fish and prawns. I like prawn because nicer than lala. And also nearby got one cafe call Mat Dou Dak. Their Hokkien mee sibeh nice.
just the pad might be a little bit tmi 🤣it takes time to actually check for the same item to make the comparison, kudos to u. Overall is an excellent informative video

Wow, loved your voice and commentary.... perfect mix of voice over and subs.... keep it coming pls... passed #1 fan (Me :P ) test 😛👌🙌

Even better - I find Aussy milo to be the choice of milo for me ..
@@GooLid-eh4og ooh I prefer sg one cuz more chocolatey

Shut up, you're just making up a story, anything made in Malaysia is superior to Singapore in terms of quality, taste, price and everything.
my comfort youtuber to watch! always looking forward to your videos 😁
Aww you so sweet , thank you💕
Super Vlog! ❤ Love the grocery shopping at AEON, one of my favourite grocery stores in Malaysia. Also, love Cold Storage for the imported products. Looking forward to more shopping vlogs in Malaysia ❤

Really a smart thing to do .. instead of say staying in a serviced apartment . Airbnb ?
Simply love your vlog and sharing. Addictive channel !! Thank you 🙏 ❤❤
Heh thank you for supporting the channel!!!💕
So intrigued to try kopi-o now! May I know which brand is your fave so that I can check if I can get here in the PH? ❤
Do try it! I like Coffee Hock but I think it’s gonna be hard to find in PH! Maybe Gold Killi might be easier to find
@@yuldaze ill try to check those!
It's the first Jusco in JB and used to be crowded, but getting lesser ppls becos other mall offer more variety of shop. But its a good choice if you're going there for groceries.
Oo didn’t know it’s the first in JB!

I always frequent tai hong kopitiam too when visiting jb! Must have their thunder tea rice & yong tau fu! Glad you liked it as well!❤
Ooh was contemplating between thunder tea rice and kolo mee. Thanks, will try it next time!🫶🏼
Is it allow to buy fresh seafood and egg from jb to singapore?
Yup! Check qty limitations on SFA website
Always watching your vlog every week!😊
Yay TYSM 🥳
Liking the new commentary style for this week’s vlog 📢
Hahaha thank you! The introvert is warming up to voice overs

hello! may i know where is the first hardware store you went to located at? :)
Ahh sorry I didn’t take note of the shop name! It was just a shop we passed by after brekkie
for prawns, i always have a slight pinch on the head. if it's firm and hard then good, if its soft n mushy then skip. homesoy is sold in sg ah, just that it's alot more ex compare to malaysia so yea i drink homesoy when i am in malaysia. in sg if buy i buy yeos
The home soy in sg is produced in Thailand! Has diff taste from the one produced & sold in my.
Im just afraid that the food bought in Malaysia dosent have the same strict safety checks unlike in SG, even though they might be cheaper.
So far so good!
Singapore has specific limits on the quantity of cooking oil you can bring in. It’s essential to check the latest regulations before your trip.
5L / person?
Actually, that's the typical, very authentic char siew type in Sarawak. It's always like cardboard thin, no fat, just lean meat. The classic type for kolo mee in Sarawak.
Ooh thanks for sharing!
Hahaa! I am laughing. Gong Cha's roselle tea has always been overly sweet and sour, though requested to be less sweet. It's like a sugar bomb!
Ya omg sugar bomb is the right word. It caused my wrinkles to surface after that face cringe 😭
@@yuldaze 🤣🤣🤣
yes you should not share. And do take note and you should inform everyone, the Singapore customs don't check everyone but mostly will and when they do, they will ask you to throw away all the raw meats and seafood.
🫡
Did u bring an ice box? We never buy fresh meats/ seafood, veg ok, because we were concerned about keeping them fresh.
Yes! We bring ice box and thermal bags ! So far so good! Can still makan & pump petrol before heading home haha
Thank you for the effort ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I usually tell them no box for the mooncakes 😂 and they'd give me the 😲 look
😅sucks that packaging is already priced in 🥲
NTUC Fairprice and Sheng Siong worried.
I think not until the RTS is ready hahaha
Thanks for sharing. Sorry for being nosy but I am a bit concern that you are attracting unnecessary attention on the import GST as you "documented" what you bought on a day trip including medication which can easily exceed the relief amount. Just be careful lah 😅
Haha thanks for the reminder! Actually the amazing thing is we didn’t exceed SGD100 per person 😆 all good!
@@yuldaze That’s good to know and put on record 😂 You are very safe now 😂
HAHAHA
It also becomes $500 for 48 hours or more . And $100 for less than 48 hours .
Cardboard should be 纸皮 not 子皮 😅
😳 the bane of depending on hanyupinyin hahaha thank you for the spot
3:53 T-shirt stained liao 😂
IKR it’s permanently yellow 😭
Hongisbored’s recent vid on mustafa at 34:56 got this stain remover he said very good. But must use immediately.
Sucks to RUclips for deleting my post for mentioning Mustafa’s full name. Like WTF
Ugh YT does the darnest filters sometimes. Thanks, I think I will need to soak it in vanish cuz it’s been weeks LOL
If earning in SG and spending in MY is definitely worth it. However, if earning in MY and spending in MY, it’ll be very painful.
Absolutely 🥺
ABSOLUTELY
几够力一下咯， 赚新币花马币投伊党
