I'm so surprised by how detailed his reviews are. I pressed into this video because I will be going to Singapore soon and wanted to know if there are any places that locals would recommend. I was genuinely surprised by how descriptive and well thought out his reviews are. I usually find it hard to finish watching a long food video but it was so interesting that I didn't stop watching! Amazing work Alderic! I'm definitely subscribing for more content❤
Sharing my recommendations: Singapore 1. Chicken rice (I'm a westie): Ah Tai, Jew Kit, Sin Kee (Michelin Bib Gourmand), Ah Boy 2. Nasi Lemak: Coconut Club, Mount Faber, Uptown 3. Tze Char: Hillman, Sum Kee, Holland Village XO Fish Head Bee Hoon 4. Bak Kut Teh: Founders, Ya Hua, Song Fa (Michelin Bib Gourmand) 5. Others: A Noodle Story, Zhen Zhen Porridge, Roast Paradise, Maxwell Hainanese Curry Rice (the rainbow signboard)
curious tho, would u ever consider u can get inexpensive nasi lemak which is good? like from a hawker centre or coffeeshop, eg Epok Epok Central in Eunos Market. Would be interested if you have a similar intro
thank you SOOOO much for this! i will have 24 hours in singapore next month and was looking for exactly this info. will try to hit up as many of these places as possible. THANK YOU!!! PS love your personality - you and your edits are hilarious
gained a new follower here, this is the quality content i've been looking for! honestly was not expecting the char kway teow store at hougang to be featured! that place holds so many memories for me as I always visit the uncle after school :D
Was feeling homesick as a fellow Singaporean haven’t been home in a while ah watching your videos make me feel at home. Great recommendations for everyone
Chili crab with mantou still have to recommend la, I don't think mantou paired well with salted egg crab. The crispy prata at Sin Ming worth to recommend also. Carrot cake deserved a local recommendation. Tutu kueh can recommend too.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Your commentary comes across as absolutely authentic and honest. I'm a fan already. (As a European I have to admit: I'm one of THOSE people who cannot stomach the sound of noodle-slurping. But your vids are worth that bit of pain. 😁)
will definitely try out the wanton and zi char, the rest does live up to the hype to from recent memories, see you next monday alderic if a video does come. Looking forward to it!!!!
i am from hong kong and going to visit Singapore soon . am glad that i found your channel ! you are funny and your content is informative. i will try to go .
Haven't heard of these outlets. Chicken rice is kind of different, ground peanut toppings. Usually just a dressing of sauce. Like to try the greyland hokkien mee looks good.
regarding the Katong chicken rice, they used serve the other type of achar (you know the one in the spicy sauce with peanut and sesame toppings). I don't like the current type of achar which just pickled vegetables... i remember the chicken rice to be much better before they revamped the stall. i wasn't impressed by this stall the last time i had it around 2 years ago. anyway, you're spot on about the double mcspicy burger. even Mike Chen said it's the best fried chicken burger in the world.
I agree with you.. since i think 2022... the standard have dropped drastically.. .. i used to go once a week.. but now.. i dont even bother... too crowded and quality is ... really down .. compared to ... 2-3 years ago... is .. not worth the trip or waiting time anymore..
Alright, head to Singapore in the next few wks, will try your recommendations. Seem like legit since all the places are way off the central area. Thanks!
Great video! You're one of the most underrated local RUclipsrs. To add on to this "Singaporean's recommendation", how about reviewing the usual food that tourist eat in Singapore? Find out if they are really worth the try haha.
I live near the oyster omelette place, like can go everyday kind and i like it as a fried egg lover. My dad who we usually give the oyster to don't like it though.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll be visiting Singapore next month! The singapore chili crab hype for tourists is on point.😂 would def try salted egg crab😋
omg pls do a wonton mee series ! gonna be super interesting like how to review which is the best cos can be a lot of factors e.g. noodles, sauce, meat, soup, wonton, like do u focus a lot on meat or the noodles since it is called wonton mee.... , do u even consider chilli in the equation...
Google Koung Wonton mee, they just moved to geylang east centre. Old folks will tell you they helm as one of the legends in terms of Wonton mee in Geylang back in the 90s (maybe 80s too?)
If U ever do a wanton mee series, pls note there are a few types, the black sauce one, red sauce one, the no color only oil type one.. must state clear cos each type has a realm of their own. Cant wait.
idk why but these sorta videos come up in my yt feed at 12am 😞 btw it'd be nice if you'd review more malay and/or indian food in SG! pretty curious about your take on such dishes
I'm coming to Singapore next month (yippee!!!) can't wait to try all your recommendations. Can I ask - how do you actually get into Lai fa Ba authentic noodles? You said it was deep in an estate - where actually is the entrance? I can't make it out on street view or anything... Thanks so much for any help! X
on the street view, there's a building called "Prestige Building", number 71 iirc. just walk past the gantry and it should be on your far left, about 60 meters from the gantry.
almost about to throw hands when you said us locals dont care for chilli crabs, butttttttt 100% agree that black pepper crabs are wayyyyyy better. still have yet to find a fantastic chilli crab though. definitely want to try that zichar store tho, looks good!
Love all ur recommendations. But how come for the wanton mee recommendation, you mentioned about the noodles, char siew n soup but you didn't say anything abt the wanton? It's like u review chicken rice but didn't say anything abt the chicken. This brings me to another point if wanton mee wanton not nice, is it considered good wanton mee?
Epok Epok central in eunos for one of the better yet cheaper nasi lemak. To claim coconut club is good yet not overprice is a bloody joke. U wanna pay more, Dickson Nasi Lemak.

Alderic and all spore food lovers will have their own personal favourite and recommendations when it comes to chicken rice, wontan noodles, fried oysters chilli crab etc. What we see from this video is his opinion. We may or may not agree. 😊
Far east plaza chicken rice used to be nice too… Oyster omelette chilli must be good too You miss the chilli crab and the claypot chicken at the last one u featured
Err the Kek seafood, getting a bit touristy, but Former Zion Rd zi char hawker SumKee at telok Blangah is better, their XO sum lor hor fun , fish soup ,Ultraman chicken , curry beef, fish head , pretty wok.hei type.
Sorry to say, you'll likely face a 30 percent increase in price for the same portion, except horrible quality rice. if you dont mind smaller cut of chicken but arguably same quality white chicken at a much cheaper price - Zeng Ji Hainanese boneless chicken Rice. I will agree that Katong chicken rice was THE BEST. probably started to decline about 5 years ago or so.
Good choices dude! But I concur that you should have included Indian/ Malay options esp since your aim is to highlight top dishes in Sg and Sg is uniquely multi- cultural. One might think we’re a Chinese country from your options 😅
yup! I only included places that I have ate at recently and I haven't got the chance to eat other cuisines unfortunately. I'm guessing next year's list would include a Nasi Lemak.
seems like quite a few people saying this but the chicken I got on that day was super well-cooked (fortunately). like at 2:05, it almost looks like fish haha.
Bro you want aggressive moonlight horfun? Go back to katong and try the store right side of the chicken rice. If it's not aggressive enough I'll pay for your meal.
Not a lot of real foodie out there giving reviews. But from your description, I know u are the real deal. You know what u put into your mouth. 🎉

I've never seen anybody explain the reasoning behind the processes that produces the good food like you before. Please keep doing what you're doing.
I love katong chicken rice!!! Its my fave with the soup and acar
That is my favourite oyster omelette! The uncle who cooked it has been a hawker for many years. Good recommendation
thank you SOOOO much for this! i will have 24 hours in singapore next month and was looking for exactly this info. will try to hit up as many of these places as possible. THANK YOU!!! PS love your personality - you and your edits are hilarious
You deserve more views! Already liked & subscribed.
Try the chicken rice without the achar, and the soup, and then reconsider whether you recommend it as a top choice for chicken rice.
Chicken rice standard dropped ALOT. especially with the overly inflated price. did u try their rice now? Its horrible.
gained a new follower here, this is the quality content i've been looking for! honestly was not expecting the char kway teow store at hougang to be featured! that place holds so many memories for me as I always visit the uncle after school :D
your list is actually goated, good informative commentary and solid recommendations! Subscribed Alderic
Love your video! Is there a standout dish you'd recommend at Keng eng Lee seafood? :)
definitely the pork liver if you're up to it. If not the coffee ribs are also great.
@ thank you Alderic 🫶🏻
Was feeling homesick as a fellow Singaporean haven’t been home in a while ah watching your videos make me feel at home. Great recommendations for everyone
I just tried the wanton mee, it’s really 完美！
Chili crab with mantou still have to recommend la, I don't think mantou paired well with salted egg crab.
The crispy prata at Sin Ming worth to recommend also.
Carrot cake deserved a local recommendation.
Tutu kueh can recommend too.
Heading to Singa in Sept and don't want to eat where the tourists go so your video has been fantastic. Will go to all 5 with the family.
Thank you for your tips, Alderic🙏🏼
Cheers from Bangkok
i like thw way u taste the food beofre you commented on it. i like thw way u said abt chili crabs! so funny yet so true!!!
thanks for the vid. I am heading there in 2 days and litteraly spending 2 days so this is a great reference for me!
Why you gotta bully us. Its 11pm and the next meal that we can visit these places is like in 12 hours time. But im hungry rn :(
I appreciate the good sound work. That alone puts it above many many many other channels.

@@Alderic. haha bro. They see you so handsome and famous. That’s why.. 😛
Why the hor fun 10.80? Is it because it is medium-sized and not small?@@Alderic.
@@andyng5321 no eh, that's their smallest size. it's their signature I guess.
Singapore in November… can’t wait
Alright, head to Singapore in the next few wks, will try your recommendations. Seem like legit since all the places are way off the central area. Thanks!
Hi try KEK coffee pork ribs, salted egg steamed or fried crab.
Deserve my recognition! Thanks for the suggestion. Your video is truly the epitome of all delicacies.
Great video! You're one of the most underrated local RUclipsrs. To add on to this "Singaporean's recommendation", how about reviewing the usual food that tourist eat in Singapore? Find out if they are really worth the try haha.
thank you! that sounds really interesting actually. can make a trip down to Jumbo and Tian Tian heh
Now tian tian got copy cat nearby, but it's actually original chef from tian Tian,.so u must try both
I live near the oyster omelette place, like can go everyday kind and i like it as a fried egg lover. My dad who we usually give the oyster to don't like it though.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll be visiting Singapore next month!
The singapore chili crab hype for tourists is on point.😂 would def try salted egg crab😋
The reviews are AMAZING!!!!!
Nice recommendations. Are there places that serve the chilli crab sauce and mantou buns only? Not a fan of the Crab, but love the sauce. :)
thank you! I've probably come across some at bars but nothing that I would specifically recommend.
Great video as always. Has anybody tried KEK Tampines safra branch? Is it as good?
thanks a lot! I'm visiting Singapore and going to take my mom for some black pepper crabs tomorrow
The maps link of the oyster omelette in the description shows that the place is temporarily closed. Does anyone know if that's accurate?
I recently found out a gd chili crab in omote thomson branch. And the best part is u dont hv to deal with any shells.
Old Airport Road hawker centre and Hong Lim Complex
How about TianTian?
8:06
May I know if the $14.30 price is just for the bowl of wantan mee or does it include that plate of char siew and roast meat you got as well?
at that price, if u want big portion, almost perfect authethic wonton mee, google Koung Wonton mee, they just moved to Geylang east centre.
nope that is separate!
@@Alderic. Got it. Thanks!
Wish are there versions of you in tokyo, bangkok and seoul! Ive had it wity the tiktok viralisation of tourist traps.
All pretty good recommendations although I haven’t tried the wanton mee. On zi char though, I’d hand it to Kok Sen
omg pls do a wonton mee series ! gonna be super interesting like how to review which is the best cos can be a lot of factors e.g. noodles, sauce, meat, soup, wonton, like do u focus a lot on meat or the noodles since it is called wonton mee.... , do u even consider chilli in the equation...
Google Koung Wonton mee, they just moved to geylang east centre. Old folks will tell you they helm as one of the legends in terms of Wonton mee in Geylang back in the 90s (maybe 80s too?)
Har.. I love chili crab 🦀 leh.. it’s my favourite.. the gravy is good and the must have mantous n I’m a Singaporean 🇸🇬❤️❤️
This hopped onto my feed via algorithm. That's a good report.
Thanks for these recommendations!
Perfect ❤. Thanks you
Can Chinese (Taiwan not china) subtitles be added ? thanks~
If U ever do a wanton mee series, pls note there are a few types, the black sauce one, red sauce one, the no color only oil type one.. must state clear cos each type has a realm of their own. Cant wait.
and the char siew....not those dry cardboard kind with bright red dyes for me.
idk why but these sorta videos come up in my yt feed at 12am 😞
btw it'd be nice if you'd review more malay and/or indian food in SG! pretty curious about your take on such dishes

@@Alderic. Amazing thank you!
whats the price of the chicken rice? its the best but far
Thank you ! Have subscribed Liao 👏🏼👏🏼
I remember when i was in sec school 20years ago that chicken rice boss in katong drives a porche
Truth man regarding the "Crab" too mafan ... rather have something cooked with those sauce, easier to enjoy and no need special equipment.
First time watching your video & I loved it. Perfect pace and useful content. Going to Singapore in several months, open to a collaboration 😉
Definitely have to save this video. For mcd, usually i would recommend buttermilk coz its only available here
I’ve tried the katong shopping centre chicken rice but personally it’s not something I’ll go often. It’s good. But I won’t say it’s the best.
same here...not worth the hassle to go all the way there, queue and wait.
Agree with your recommendations 100%. Could easily expand to many more if include other local non-Chinese fav cuisines which tourists miss out on too.
Can u make another video best hawker stall that near to mrt? Thx Alderic
The McSpicy for me!!!:)) 😮wow didn’t know others like it like me too ~ fellow Singaporean 🇸🇬❤️
almost about to throw hands when you said us locals dont care for chilli crabs, butttttttt 100% agree that black pepper crabs are wayyyyyy better. still have yet to find a fantastic chilli crab though. definitely want to try that zichar store tho, looks good!
Your review of our iconic dish, Hainanese Chicken Rice, made no mention whatsoever of the rice!!.
I wonder why I didn't find your channel earlier!
waaaa d katong chick rice 1 person normal serving is $7.7 ?!
Love all ur recommendations. But how come for the wanton mee recommendation, you mentioned about the noodles, char siew n soup but you didn't say anything abt the wanton? It's like u review chicken rice but didn't say anything abt the chicken. This brings me to another point if wanton mee wanton not nice, is it considered good wanton mee?
Thank you! I said something like "it was okay " but edited it out since it doesn't really say anything.
Do a series on lor mee
where got WTM with egg liddat one
*side note, while waiting for ramen ya, they sold out. the WTM outside, not bad.
the egg is very cheffy but I had more than my fair share of such eggs over the last 3 months haha
BEST SALTED EGG CHICKEN / NASI LEMAK / ROAST MEAT PLSS
Epok Epok central in eunos for one of the better yet cheaper nasi lemak. To claim coconut club is good yet not overprice is a bloody joke. U wanna pay more, Dickson Nasi Lemak.
1st plate costs 22 for chicken rice....
5to maximun 6.5 20 years over ago.
crazy..
second one is considered as ok for oldies.
Coffee pork ribs at KEK is the best!
I agreed this chicken rice definitely worth to chomp down !!!!
Please do Wanton Mee Series
Why never recommend your house Alderic?

Thank youuuu my local friend ❤
I know Singaporean still do love Chilli Crab.
Far east plaza chicken rice used to be nice too…
Oyster omelette chilli must be good too
You miss the chilli crab and the claypot chicken at the last one u featured
I go to KEK frequently too but I have to say, tourist and on locals have started going there for quite a while already 😂
Err the Kek seafood, getting a bit touristy, but Former Zion Rd zi char hawker SumKee at telok Blangah is better, their XO sum lor hor fun , fish soup ,Ultraman chicken , curry beef, fish head , pretty wok.hei type.

I disagree on katong chicken rice. They use kampong chicken which is far better suited for indo/malay dishes. Texture too tough to fit hainan style
Last time i went Katong for Chicken Rice, it was pretty bad.
Never try katong chicken rice so no comment, but I will have to disagree with kampung chicken. Cai yuan kampung chicken is great for chicken rice too
@@baron17 its bad........ standard have dropped badly....
seems like quite a few people saying this but the chicken I got on that day was super well-cooked (fortunately). like at 2:05, it almost looks like fish haha.
A pity none of the dishes were below $5.😢
