Haha I am sorry buzzfeed but you could have picked better Singaporean food. Everything before the satay are not really what Singaporeans eat. So excited when I saw the title but disappointed at the food choices. But at least you guys picked satay!
As a Singaporean, I think there are better food than those snacks used in the video, apart for the satay and you have to eat with the ketupat. I reckon there isnt much choices in States.
I would have loved to see them eat some Chicken Rice, Kaya Butter Toast, and maybe Teh Tarik and other drinks you'd expect from a Singaporean coffee shop.
I'm Singaporean, I suggest you try out these foods: Laksa ( Thick Rice Noodles in Curry like soup) Chicken Rice ( The rice tastes like chicken, I'm sure you'll be amazed by what it tastes like) Chili Crab ( the holy grail, this is sooo good, can't get enough of this!) This few are quite popular in SG, Singaporeans, I want you to comment below the best Laksa/Chicken Rice/ Chili Crab you can find!
I used to live in Singapore for 8 years, which is literary more than half my life (I'm 15) and not eating the food makes me feel sad. Also I am saddened by the fact that there is no chili crab involved. Or Old Chang Kee chicken wings. I feel hungry right now. SMH
1.Red melons seed is eaten on the new year as like a snack 2.Thanks for the sauce compliment 3.There is no such thing as a street food here in singapore (unless you consider china town, which is only legal there) 4.Finally! No hate shit about my country! FYI, Singapore is a multi racial country (that means we have food from everywhere and anywhere)
I think you mean "multi-racial" or "multi-ethnicity," multi-rational doesn't really mean anything. But you're right, your part of the World has many different rich cultures and heritages that all provide their own flavor.Plus, I don't know if I've ever had ANY Asian food I didn't like. Then again, I hit the Asian grocery at least once a month and I snack on dried cuttlefish. I'm a weird American.
They should try NASI lemak and durian..... First off many Malaysians and Singaporeans don't like it but it originated from here SOO..... Yea and NASI lea am is heaven don't ask... And wat about dim sum and ice cream potong char kuey teow and Asam laksa ahhhhh more heavenly food
Honestly, just because you have food from everywhere and anywhere doesn't make it Singaporean. You can get pizza in Malaysia, but no one classifies it as Malaysian food.
Those aren't Singaporean food, those are just chips/cookies from the corner store. Also the satay was Malaysian/Indonesian food but you can say it's Singaporean, also you are eating the chicken satay WRONG.
Mad Gamer Road to 100! LOL how am I annoying, did I post this a 100 times? It's only 1 comment. Also "some things are better not known" well if you were from that region wouldn't you care?
Should have Part II of this Episode Where Americans Try more Singapore Cuisine: Some other suggestions (Both Mains and sides) for you guys and gals from BuzzFeed to try: Chicken Rice, Chendol / Ice Kachang, Laksa, Chicken Curry, Roti Prata, Nasi Lemak, Cheng Tng, Popiah, Goreng Pisang (Deep Fried Bananas), Curry Puff, Tauhu Goreng.
malaysia and singapore basically share the same foods. malaysian go to singapore to eat hainan chicken rice and they often come here to eat nasi lemak and laksa. other than that, singlish and manglish are basically the same Rojak language. we speak the same language anyway. we're the same country until the separation. and this both country share alot of similarities to indonesian cuisine when it comes to savoury. instead of just mentioning 'Singapore', you could mention Malaysia too.
Hey guys love this video and all the other taste test videos. Can you do a test taste from Malaysia. Our food here in Malaysia is awesome! I'd love it if there was a video of that. By the way, satay is from Malaysia although they sell some in Singapore. Thank you 😊😊😊
+SaraHaris I know right As much as I want to hate on Singapore, I really don't care about it. I mean I'm not a hater so I don't hate things but I'm not a lover so I don't like things I'm just neutral. But Malaysia is a pretty awesome country and I guess Singapore ain't that bad. Btw I'm malaysian
haha Dharveena Velan I like Singapore though but I like Malaysia much better. Probably because I am Malaysia. There's only one thing I don't like about Malaysia but I'd rather not say :3
+Buckeye Lizzy (eambuckeye) You have to head into the heartlands for more authentic food :) Chinatown, Little India and Orchard Road are just for tourists and are way overpriced!
melon seeds are mostly consumed by the older generation (pioneer batch). Its meant as a past time snack plus it gives the person something to do with their hands and mouth. Remember in the olden times, there was only 2 tv channels that broadcast for like 6-8hrs a day and 4 radio stations (a station for each major language). Most people don't have much to entertain themselves with, so eating melon seeds kills time plus its inexpensive.
they aren't saying satay wrong. they are just saying it the way they would read it and why is it different? because they don't speak singlish. i understand that to you, their pronunciation is wrong but they aren't actually so... and the food? singaporeans do eat em the vague term is 'food' pretty sure the video shows them eating ~food~ no hate because i am a singaporean and a satay and food lover
toilet paper I don't think so. Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisines are very different. A south east Asian person might say European cultures are nearly the same too.
Why are they not eating chili crab and fried hokkien mee and chicken rice and laksa and and and.... They were fed... SNACKS?!? Haw flakes frm china?!? Alamak... Lol Glad they liked satay tho... 😋
Percabethisawesome i am singaporean and i have never even heard of any of these except for the last ones, every country has their foods and just because we are in the same region as another country docent mean we have the same foods
For all those saying that the foods originated from their country, I'm pretty sure the countries use different spices and stuff to make the dishes different or more unique. Just like how there's Singaporean curry, and Indian curry, and Thai curry. They don't sure don't taste the same, but they're sort of the same dish. There's also the Singaporean Laksa, and laksa from other countries, yes? So stfu and stop trying to take ownership of a dish that other countries perfected when yours couldn't.
instead of the notion that drives them to thinking that "just because the food originates from their country: it's theirs', I believe it may innately be more of a political connotation that drives them to such arguments. Like the whole thing with satay, where the Indonesian street food culture is actually highly politicised (obviously, for tourism revenue) and satay happens to be one of the main attraction - and seeing this video indirectly claim it as Singaporean - no surprise over the apparent backlash.
as a singaporean i can assure you they only tried the mediocre foods, there are way better options out there, i suppose they aren't available in America
Jaspar Chong nasi lemak is malay and chicken rice (or hainan chicken rice) comes from china....i think chai tow kway (fried carrot cake) is singaporean tho.
Wrong Hazim. Singapore is a Malay island and the indigenous people of Singapore are Malays. Therefore satay, ketupat, lontong, asam pedas, kuah lodeh etc etc are also Singaporean food.
+Sabrina Tan I dare them to eat mee rebus, char keow tiao and curry laksa without drinking any water, and after that i dare them to have eat a whole bunch of durian without spitting or stop halfway xD
I'm pretty sure the countries use different spices and stuff to make the dishes different. Just like how there's Singaporean curry, and Indian curry, and Thai curry.
They need to send these guys to the countries where the food is from. That would be great... Lol... Because there's more to Malaysian / Singaporean food than the items that were chosen.
Obviously, but they can't give them all the foods. That would be too much food and too long of a video. No one with a brain is going to assume Singapore doesn't have any foods besides the ones shown in the video. This is just a small sample, and I think most people get that.
I'm an Indonesian, but yeah.. I do think chicken satay with peanut sauce is a south east asia thing. But the sauce is a little different between countries. It's a hard to determine where it is originated... So in conclusion, there's a thai chicken satay, there's a malaysian chicken satay etc
my life malaysian comes from many indonesian islands. that's why indonesian island is called 'malay archipelago'. read up on your geography and history dik...
amirul fazli That's like saying Americans are from England. Malaysia and America are pretty diverse so there's no telling where they're from since they're ancestry are from all over the world. You must have confused nationality and ethnicity.
They should have tried chilli crab which Singapore seems to be famous for. As someone who has visited Singapore several times the best three things about Singapore in my opinion, apart from the food are: 1. Changi Airport, Singapore's international airport is by far the best airport in the whole world. Clean, modern, very easy to get from one part of the airport to another and so many things to see and do that the airport is almost a tourist attraction unto itself. 2. Singapore Airlines, easily one of the world's finest airlines and far superior in food, service and comfort than any airline in the USA and better than many European airlines. 3. Mustafa Centre, a very big department store where you can buy just about anything and it is open 24hrs!
NO THAT's NOT HOW YOU EAT SATE (SATAY) YOU DIP THE SATE AND YOU EAT RIGHT OIT OF THE STICKS DUDE😩😩 oh and in indonesia we usually eat satays with lontong which is like rice but like shaped. Cant explain it sorry jahahhahaha
Korean food! Kimchi, dduk bokki, soondae (pig intestine filled with noodles, rice, etc.. very delicious if you get the image out of your head), BBBig ice cream (red bean) etc. I could think of so much, and I'd be willing to send some in if buzzfeed accepts donations lol....
Everything before satay isn't exactly "Singaporean" singaporean food... you guys should have tried other local food here like chicken rice, nasi lemak, laksa and chilli crab. No one eats haw slices and melon seeds every day... those are just snacks and i don't even know where they originated from.....
sidi marajo oh watever... singapore, indonesian and malaysian food has no diff... singapore has malay, chinese, indian and westerners... so its a whole new country with 4 diff races..
Jang WC ya okay they aren't something we eat everyday but i guess it's hard to get sg food in the us? especially getting an authentic one? Although to be fair to your comment, I don't eat melon seeds EVER. Like never did O.o Also those saying satay is not singaporean food well i guess it isn't but at the same time, the version that singapore has just doesn't taste the same as indonesian one! it's the chili maybe or a different sweet soya sauce :/
I agree with you my friend, like come on!! Squid chips?!?! And that round thing, I think i know what's that but "in fact" it's not packed in the classic small cylinder pack that we know in singapore, if there's fast food to portray, it's gonna be Maggi instant noodles, agree?
I'm Vietnamese and my grandmother used to always buy dried pumpkin seeds & red melon seeds! We eat them during Lunar New Year, and they're so fun to crack :D :D :D
I was borned in Singapore and it's my home land but i never even seen red melon seeds! I know that our snacks and chips are pretty great and we had alot of them growing up, oh! My parents love pumpkin or pistachios for the lunar new year and also in Chinese 'bah kuah' it's like a roasted pork meat and it's kinda pricey for us but realllllllllyyyyyyy delicious! (We only buy these roasted pork slices/meat during the lunar new year because it's pricey for the poor to normal economic people ,unless you are rich and you love it so much but it is unhealthy if you eat too much )You Gotta try it out! It's better than the chicken satay u guys tried! Please try the 'bah kuah'! It's a must try!
There are so much more snacks then just these OMG as a singaporean I'm slightly offended. What about the Chilli crab? Or like Mee Pok or something. Or maybe Yong Tau Fu. Granted some of these are not exactly 100% singaporean but still.
Okay..(Anyone from Malaysia or Brunei and Singapore please correct me if I give wrong information) Singapore is a part from Malaysia before... Actually Brunei,Sabah,Sarawak,Tanah Melayu and Singapore is a part of Malaysia.. Yeah I mean Sabah and Sarawak actually a country Brunei withdrew before the independence of Malaysia.. Three years later Singapore left Malaysia... That's why Malaysia,Brunei and Singapore foods have a same similarities
I dropped everything when I saw this like WHAT SINGAPORE And all the food except the last one I'm like Aw You could eat some better ones XD Like Why no Prata? Chicken rice, Chili crab, maybe Tom Yam? Oh oh and Ice Kachang! Would Kaya toast even be considered? Like the Kaya toast with the eggs? What is that snack... Sweet peanut snack? Hwa sen tang? And if its all just snacks then the White Rabbit sweets Mamee (god I hope they actually USE the seasoning) Also guys, guys You say the food all come from all the different countries I get that but if that was the case there'd be like nothing to be under Singapore's name. If the recipe was brought over from the original country and in Singapore so long, it would have changed bit by bit. I'd like to call what is in Singapore here and now Singaporean food, unless it's those shops that are like "Imported from [insert country here]"
EVERYONE! Singaporean food is not originally singaporean food because its a multi raitial country so all foods come from other countries :) as a singaporean i should know because i am one :)
There's lots of Singaporean food. Hainanese chicken rice, Chilli crab, rice noodles, etc. You'd know this if you had traveled there and weren't an ignorant.
Pollory La La Wow your racism is so positive and fills me with joy. It's so great that people go around dividing races and insulting others! :D But no seriously can you not. It's hurtful. Plus we're all asians, we stand together.
***** i mean malays are the one who always argue with indonesians over culture and stuff.. hourgmorn should've specify that coz chinese and indians has nothing to do with malay and indonesian culture
Can you go to their neighbor? Indonesia has a lot of chicken and peanut foods. * ^* gado-gado, ketoprak, rendang ayam, ayam mercon (very spicy), ayam srundeng.
That last scene of Keith+Eugene trying the squid thing and he's making the squid 'noise' and floating in water motion. Omg, cracked me up. Backed the vid up several times it was so good. XD
Satay is not from Singapore... Duhhh... Satay marinated with spices and herbs, served with peanut gravy, that's Malaysian satay. Indonesian satay like satay padang is different. The meat is not marinated and the gravy is so delicious and spicy. Its not peanut gravy. Singapore claims they own satay, that's absurd.
Animal00Kaiser Well tbh Singapore and Malaysia are pretty similar both being multi cultural countries. So I'm not that pissed when they make that mistake. I'm only pissed when they think Singapore is in China.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Would any of these be considered as Singaporean? They're all from different countries. Haw Flakes and the seeds are from China, Squid Chips are popular all over Asia, And Satay is general South East Asian, but originally from Indonesia. I get that Singapore is a melting-pot of different cultures, but I don't think anything in this video is "Singaporean food". Maybe they should have tried other foods that are uniquely Singaporean, food you can only find in Singaporean cuisine and no where else. That would have been far more interesting.
haha I just need to get thing straight. because satay originated in java, Indonesia. and I though malay peninsula are only borneo and sumatra, so it's wrong to say that this cuisin originated in malay peninsula.
Who's from Singapore ?
meeee
me!!!
Meee
meeeeee
Grace T Channel MEEEEEEEEEE
'Americans try a weird selection of Singaporean food that no Singaporeans eat'
( except satay, satay is awesome :D)
Haha!
Yeah satay
Lol
Yeah obama
I feel like I'm the only Singaporean that doesn't eat satay sometimes... :(
Haha I am sorry buzzfeed but you could have picked better Singaporean food. Everything before the satay are not really what Singaporeans eat.
So excited when I saw the title but disappointed at the food choices. But at least you guys picked satay!
Satay is pretty much South Asian food, not authentic Singaporean food. We have satay in Thailand, Indonesian, Malaysian, etc.
agreed. the first few choices made me so disappointed
yep, agreed with the previous guy, even satay is not really singaporean
I think the foods before Satay were Chinese foods though
Exactly. Wish they had featured more Singaporean food though...
As a Singaporean, I think there are better food than those snacks used in the video, apart for the satay and you have to eat with the ketupat. I reckon there isnt much choices in States.
I would have loved to see them eat some Chicken Rice, Kaya Butter Toast, and maybe Teh Tarik and other drinks you'd expect from a Singaporean coffee shop.
SET A ! And our snacks ! like the potato wheel, icing jems, spicy tapioca chips and many many more.
MILO DINOSAURRRR !
+cassi leka rawr!!🐊

you know satay and ketupat is malaysian food
YOU DONT PEEL THE SATAY OFF THE STICK GOD DAMN IT
+w Chaeri ikr...oh well, they just don't know
+Cassandra Marie They still need to know
IKR OMG
+junhoe's wife DRAMA QUEENS >_______________>
Ifkr
I am so amused by how they were eating the satays. But great to hear that it was tasty hehe
I'm Singaporean, I suggest you try out these foods:
Laksa ( Thick Rice Noodles in Curry like soup)
Chicken Rice ( The rice tastes like chicken, I'm sure you'll be amazed by what it tastes like)
Chili Crab ( the holy grail, this is sooo good, can't get enough of this!)
This few are quite popular in SG, Singaporeans, I want you to comment below the best Laksa/Chicken Rice/ Chili Crab you can find!
Adding to that list: meegoreng, maya toast, and nasi lemak
You forgot Prata. The most important food
My mouth is watering just thinking of that. :))
Opps! I forgot bout those!
Those sound really good but I live in Canada... I never even had maple syrup yet D:
I used to live in Singapore for 8 years, which is literary more than half my life (I'm 15) and not eating the food makes me feel sad. Also I am saddened by the fact that there is no chili crab involved. Or Old Chang Kee chicken wings. I feel hungry right now. SMH
Old Chang Kee!!! OMG, I totally agree with you!!! How can anyone not love it ???
ikr
+Qianqi Zhao cause it's like only their curry puff that it's unqiue.You can get everything else off you hawker centre

*sigh* You're just eating the melon seeds wrong
+Andrew Vo ikr they eat with the shell on
***** Wait what?
Here in the states, eating warmelon seeds isn't a thing,you see pumpkin, and sunflower, but never melon.
Jacqueline Johnson Oh I live in America
I'm just asian
'The phallic nature of it'
KEITH IS MY ONE AND ONLY
1.Red melons seed is eaten on the new year as like a snack
2.Thanks for the sauce compliment
3.There is no such thing as a street food here in singapore (unless you consider china town, which is only legal there)
4.Finally! No hate shit about my country!
FYI, Singapore is a multi racial country (that means we have food from everywhere and anywhere)
I think you mean "multi-racial" or "multi-ethnicity," multi-rational doesn't really mean anything. But you're right, your part of the World has many different rich cultures and heritages that all provide their own flavor.Plus, I don't know if I've ever had ANY Asian food I didn't like.

Joe S. I had a typo on multi rarional
They should try NASI lemak and durian..... First off many Malaysians and Singaporeans don't like it but it originated from here SOO..... Yea and NASI lea am is heaven don't ask... And wat about dim sum and ice cream potong char kuey teow and Asam laksa ahhhhh more heavenly food
Chan Khayi i like malay/muslim food!
Honestly, just because you have food from everywhere and anywhere doesn't make it Singaporean. You can get pizza in Malaysia, but no one classifies it as Malaysian food.
Those aren't Singaporean food, those are just chips/cookies from
the corner store. Also the satay was Malaysian/Indonesian food but you can say it's Singaporean, also you are eating the chicken satay WRONG.
What do u expect dude. They don't even make an effort to research the local food that they should eat.
Yeah man, agree with you. Chicken Satay is Indo/Malay food.
Where's the Chicken Rice anyway ? that's the Singaporean typical food.
ahmad aqel musa Singapore is a country with tons of races so yeah...
Afeeq Hasan Your annoying, whiny and to put it simply, a little bitch.
No one needs to know this okay, because somethings are better not known.
Mad Gamer Road to 100! LOL how am I annoying, did I post this a 100 times? It's only 1 comment. Also "some things are better not known" well if you were from that region wouldn't you care?
Should have Part II of this Episode Where Americans Try more Singapore Cuisine:
Some other suggestions (Both Mains and sides) for you guys and gals from BuzzFeed to try:
Chicken Rice, Chendol / Ice Kachang, Laksa, Chicken Curry, Roti Prata, Nasi Lemak, Cheng Tng, Popiah, Goreng Pisang (Deep Fried Bananas), Curry Puff, Tauhu Goreng.
OMG YESSSS
it's funny that none of these are actually singaporean food
And chilli crab
Crispy Gar Spot on! Chilli Crab!
bro all food that u r stating r Malaysian food-_-
malaysia and singapore basically share the same foods. malaysian go to singapore to eat hainan chicken rice and they often come here to eat nasi lemak and laksa. other than that, singlish and manglish are basically the same Rojak language. we speak the same language anyway. we're the same country until the separation. and this both country share alot of similarities to indonesian cuisine when it comes to savoury. instead of just mentioning 'Singapore', you could mention Malaysia too.
so truee
As a singaporean, i have to agree with you. At least we know whats happening yrs ago. Unlike some people from a certain country. Smh
All the food are not even Singapore food... -_-
Ikr! They mistook Singapore for China..
It's not China food either
Lei Wenxuan then?
Then...? =/
Lei Wenxuan where does the food come from?
I love the guy in the green shirt with black tie! He should have his own channel on RUclips.
Hey guys love this video and all the other taste test videos. Can you do a test taste from Malaysia. Our food here in Malaysia is awesome! I'd love it if there was a video of that. By the way, satay is from Malaysia although they sell some in Singapore. Thank you 😊😊😊
haha XD
Err no. Satay actually originated from Indonesia though both Malaysia and Singapore sells it. Peace.
They practically did it in this vid
+SaraHaris I know right
As much as I want to hate on Singapore, I really don't care about it. I mean I'm not a hater so I don't hate things but I'm not a lover so I don't like things I'm just neutral. But Malaysia is a pretty awesome country and I guess Singapore ain't that bad. Btw I'm malaysian
haha Dharveena Velan I like Singapore though but I like Malaysia much better. Probably because I am Malaysia. There's only one thing I don't like about Malaysia but I'd rather not say :3
Americans or Non Singaporeans,chicken on a stick is satay.Welcome to my world!(I'm Singaporean).
Hadya Alisha hahaha 😂😂I feel u

Hadya Alisha I'm already in your world.. I'm a Singaporean!

HOW HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN CHICKEN SATAY
me too, except for the satay hahah
Cause its malaysian..
Canadian food next? Beaver tails, Nanimo bars, poutine...
Elia Neeley Also ketchup chips :D
I agree.. but I feel like they should put something that would be an acquired taste. It would make it more interesting, you know? Like, Oka cheese
Yeaaaass omg
Beaver tails are so good. My all time favorite Canadian food.
are u serious. beaver tails??
I love chicken satay. Ooo, and the roasted duck. Chinatown, Little India, and Orchard Road have the best food in Singapore.
I just satay at Lau Pa Sat for New Years yummy!
+Buckeye Lizzy (eambuckeye) You have to head into the heartlands for more authentic food :) Chinatown, Little India and Orchard Road are just for tourists and are way overpriced!
+Anon Kash yeah it's definitely overpriced there.
+Elizabeth Newman (eambuckeye) you can go to chong pang city for the most delicious chicken satay.
I've eaten it in China. It's great
I lived in Singapore for about 12 years and have never even heard of all these food... :/
how could u haha they're nice XD
Especially SATAY!!!!
Teehee
My dad is going to work in singapore. very soon
wtf? …I've lived here for a total of 5 years….though i only know haw flakes, and satay is almost a must
Chicken balls (not actually a rooster's balls, just balls of chicken stuff)
Chicken rice
Naomi King Bubble tea isn't Singaporean at all? =.=
Naomi King Bubble Tea is from Taiwan.
LOL true bubble tea is from Taiwan
I'm singaporean and I dont't even know what's red melon seeds
Angelo Durano I think those are the normal melon seeds that are sometimes eaten during Chinese New Year... except in red colour ._.
Angelo Durano chinese eat them during cny. I never liked it lol. Tastelesss
Omg ikr me too what are those lolol
we like to eat other food of course we don't know lah wahliao
melon seeds are mostly consumed by the older generation (pioneer batch). Its meant as a past time snack plus it gives the person something to do with their hands and mouth. Remember in the olden times, there was only 2 tv channels that broadcast for like 6-8hrs a day and 4 radio stations (a station for each major language). Most people don't have much to entertain themselves with, so eating melon seeds kills time plus its inexpensive.
1. those aren't really what we eat. they are like..beer snacks
2.YOU GUYS EAT SATAY WRONG SMH
ikr
True Dat
Tru dat
they aren't saying satay wrong. they are just saying it the way they would read it and why is it different? because they don't speak singlish. i understand that to you, their pronunciation is wrong but they aren't actually so... and the food? singaporeans do eat em the vague term is 'food' pretty sure the video shows them eating ~food~ no hate because i am a singaporean and a satay and food lover
Natalie Lim *eating*
but I agree with you
Is there really such a thing as Singaporean food? Wouldn't it be just Chinese, Malaysian or perhaps Indian?
Aragiss I'm afraid there isn't
Nope, not Malaysia
toilet paper I don't think so. Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisines are very different. A south east Asian person might say European cultures are nearly the same too.
Aragiss as there are some food created with combined cuisines like chinese + malay or indian + malay etc
Yes there is such a thing as Singaporean food duhhhhhhhh
It's the first time I've seen you guys not convulse in disgust with anything you do on this series.
Because Singapore is known to be a food haven :D
YOU'RE EATING THE SATAY WRONG. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DIP THE STICK INTO THE SAUCE AND EAT IT. NOT TAKE IT OUT... :(
I only saw 1 person doing it that way
many did that
Stop trying to boss them and tell them to do the way you singaporeans are doing.They're americans so they freaking don't know your way la. Elysia Teo
It's my problem, so you better shut the eff up
It's my problem, so you better shut the eff up
Why are they not eating chili crab and fried hokkien mee and chicken rice and laksa and and and....
They were fed... SNACKS?!? Haw flakes frm china?!? Alamak... Lol
Glad they liked satay tho... 😋
Same but they ate the satay wrong...so disappointing:/
June Hor check out the video Americans taste test Singaporean food they had laksa, chicken rice, char Keat teow and chendol :D
Damn! You guys should try Durian...
they tried it in another video and half of them died before they could even taste it
What video was it?
Exotic Asian Food Test
I have heard of that word but never seen it.What's it look like?
in english must be called "Thorns Fruit"
because durian is clearly indonesian word
This is south east Asia food not Singaporean
Singapore IS in a south east Asia -_-
No he meant not only these foods are from singapore but all south east asia has the same kind of food...
Singapore is made of Chinese, Malaysian and Indian settlers
syrf hsini Does it matter lmao they're americans. they probably think the whole region is like a chinese colony or soemthing.
Percabethisawesome i am singaporean and i have never even heard of any of these except for the last ones, every country has their foods and just because we are in the same region as another country docent mean we have the same foods
I visited Singapore once and it was the cleanest, prettiest country I've ever been to. ^.^
For all those saying that the foods originated from their country, I'm pretty sure the countries use different spices and stuff to make the dishes different or more unique. Just like how there's Singaporean curry, and Indian curry, and Thai curry. They don't sure don't taste the same, but they're sort of the same dish. There's also the Singaporean Laksa, and laksa from other countries, yes? So stfu and stop trying to take ownership of a dish that other countries perfected when yours couldn't.
100% agree
instead of the notion that drives them to thinking that "just because the food originates from their country: it's theirs', I believe it may innately be more of a political connotation that drives them to such arguments. Like the whole thing with satay, where the Indonesian street food culture is actually highly politicised (obviously, for tourism revenue) and satay happens to be one of the main attraction - and seeing this video indirectly claim it as Singaporean - no surprise over the apparent backlash.
Yeah, and Singapore is made up from people from all over the world, so of course, the main idea of the food will originate from some where else.
It seems like the only food Buzzfeed liked the most was Singaporean food.
as a singaporean i can assure you they only tried the mediocre foods, there are way better options out there, i suppose they aren't available in America
Singapore doesn't really have it's own food. We have a mixture of everything. Heh :)
Chicken rice and nasi lemak are singaporean foods :)
Chicken stae is from Thailand!!!
Jaspar Chong nasi lemak is malay and chicken rice (or hainan chicken rice) comes from china....i think chai tow kway (fried carrot cake) is singaporean tho.
surinna boollor we have it too in indonesia. Asia food rocks! 👍👍👌
Chilli Crab is from Singapore
Lool on "Singapore doing it right" when satay actually came from Malaysia. Means they didn't like Singaporean food but they liked Malaysian
Wow, really go learn history you dumbfk :)
It's just food from the whole m'sia-indonesia region. It's not malaysian, more like malay food.
Wrong Hazim. Singapore is a Malay island and the indigenous people of Singapore are Malays. Therefore satay, ketupat, lontong, asam pedas, kuah lodeh etc etc are also Singaporean food.
the conclusion is satay is malaysian,singaporean and indonesian food.
Satay is from Indonesia go study b4 commenting la like ur Najib holding the coconut
Please do Americans try to eat Malaysian food...
yeah!!! I agree!!
+Sabrina Tan me too
+Sabrina Tan I dare them to eat mee rebus, char keow tiao and curry laksa without drinking any water, and after that i dare them to have eat a whole bunch of durian without spitting or stop halfway xD
+Chien Yih Tham woahh... Sedapnyaaaaa 😋😋😋😋
+Chien Yih Tham it's char kway Teow and it's from Singapore same for Laksa
These malaysians be commenting like 'satay is our food not singaporean food'
We indonesians be like 'yeah right'
+Indra ggx EXACTLY LIKE THAT WAS ALL I WAS THINKING!!
Lol
IKR!!
I'm pretty sure the countries use different spices and stuff to make the dishes different. Just like how there's Singaporean curry, and Indian curry, and Thai curry.
racist.
They need to send these guys to the countries where the food is from. That would be great... Lol... Because there's more to Malaysian / Singaporean food than the items that were chosen.
Obviously, but they can't give them all the foods. That would be too much food and too long of a video. No one with a brain is going to assume Singapore doesn't have any foods besides the ones shown in the video. This is just a small sample, and I think most people get that.
CHICKEN SATAY IS INDONESIAN FOOOD!!!!!!!
Agree
Felicia32151 actually if u check wikipedia satay is indonesian food so suck it up and get your facts right
Felicia32151
chill,you don't have to be said all that bad words....+you're not even 100 percent right...
ITS ALSO THAI FOOD !!!!!
I'm an Indonesian, but yeah.. I do think chicken satay with peanut sauce is a south east asia thing. But the sauce is a little different between countries. It's a hard to determine where it is originated... So in conclusion, there's a thai chicken satay, there's a malaysian chicken satay etc
YAY another Singaporean video!!! I'm a proud Singaporean
Kieth acting like a squid was the best thing in this episode.
OMG IM SO MAD THEY DIDNT EAT THE SATAY PROPERLY OMGOMGOMG THEY TOOK THE CHICKEN OFF THE STICK ok im overreacting.
satay so delicious when you deep in the sauce
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DIP THE WHOLE STICK ONGOGMOGMGOGNGOGMGOGNGOGM
i knowwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol
me too
Chun Meng Quek I eat satay like that an im a singaporean :/
Satay is malaysian tho
Sharing is caring. Singapore used to be part of Malaysia so OFCOURSE we have similar foods. Especially since we have malay people toooooo 👍👍
sidi marajo malaysian came from malaysia. Not indonesia
They are all awesome tho
my life malaysian comes from many indonesian islands. that's why indonesian island is called 'malay archipelago'. read up on your geography and history dik...
amirul fazli That's like saying Americans are from England. Malaysia and America are pretty diverse so there's no telling where they're from since they're ancestry are from all over the world. You must have confused nationality and ethnicity.
They should have tried chilli crab which Singapore seems to be famous for. As someone who has visited Singapore several times the best three things about Singapore in my opinion, apart from the food are: 1. Changi Airport, Singapore's international airport is by far the best airport in the whole world. Clean, modern, very easy to get from one part of the airport to another and so many things to see and do that the airport is almost a tourist attraction unto itself. 2. Singapore Airlines, easily one of the world's finest airlines and far superior in food, service and comfort than any airline in the USA and better than many European airlines. 3. Mustafa Centre, a very big department store where you can buy just about anything and it is open 24hrs!
NO THAT's NOT HOW YOU EAT SATE (SATAY) YOU DIP THE SATE AND YOU EAT RIGHT OIT OF THE STICKS DUDE😩😩
oh and in indonesia we usually eat satays with lontong which is like rice but like shaped. Cant explain it sorry jahahhahaha
Ooo... I love lontong
It's not spelt as sate but satay
Kai Li Lee nope. it's sate in bahasa.
Zahra Adjie in malaysia we called it sate minang
nasperawan in America we call it Crap.
"CHICKEN ON A STICK!"
NOOO, It's SATAY!
You should really try our local food ! like durians,chicken rice,and many more. like if agree
Dominique Tan they would puke if they try durian,not everyone apreciate durians
Judy Khoo actually i will aso puke after eating durian i was just stating a fact
WOOYEA SINGAPORE POWER!!!! 💪 #proudSingaporean
lel
I want to travel to singapore again just to eat salted egg chicken, sweet jesus so good !!
Korean food! Kimchi, dduk bokki, soondae (pig intestine filled with noodles, rice, etc.. very delicious if you get the image out of your head), BBBig ice cream (red bean) etc. I could think of so much, and I'd be willing to send some in if buzzfeed accepts donations lol....
Everything before satay isn't exactly "Singaporean" singaporean food...
you guys should have tried other local food here like chicken rice, nasi lemak, laksa and chilli crab. No one eats haw slices and melon seeds every day... those are just snacks and i don't even know where they originated from.....
sidi marajo oh watever... singapore, indonesian and malaysian food has no diff... singapore has malay, chinese, indian and westerners... so its a whole new country with 4 diff races..
Jang WC ya okay they aren't something we eat everyday but i guess it's hard to get sg food in the us? especially getting an authentic one? Although to be fair to your comment, I don't eat melon seeds EVER. Like never did O.o
Also those saying satay is not singaporean food well i guess it isn't but at the same time, the version that singapore has just doesn't taste the same as indonesian one! it's the chili maybe or a different sweet soya sauce :/
I agree with you my friend, like come on!! Squid chips?!?! And that round thing, I think i know what's that but "in fact" it's not packed in the classic small cylinder pack that we know in singapore, if there's fast food to portray, it's gonna be Maggi instant noodles, agree?
Jang WC I love haw chips, just saying.
But yeah, you can't find them anymore. Ironically, I get them from Malaysia.
Annabelle Chua you can actually get them in older stores... like those near Bugis (near the temples) or Chinatown or any old provision shops.
I'm Vietnamese and my grandmother used to always buy dried pumpkin seeds & red melon seeds! We eat them during Lunar New Year, and they're so fun to crack :D :D :D
Next episode.... "Rich People Try Poverty-Stricken Food"
(A few suggestions): Sugar water, Syrup sandwich, Gov't cheese sandwich, Mustard sandwich, Ramen noodles w/ scrambled eggs & leftover smoked sausage, Fried Bologna sandwich, Apple Surprise (1/2 cut apple- remove core-add peanut butter), etc...
I was borned in Singapore and it's my home land but i never even seen red melon seeds! I know that our snacks and chips are pretty great and we had alot of them growing up, oh! My parents love pumpkin or pistachios for the lunar new year and also in Chinese 'bah kuah' it's like a roasted pork meat and it's kinda pricey for us but realllllllllyyyyyyy delicious! (We only buy these roasted pork slices/meat during the lunar new year because it's pricey for the poor to normal economic people ,unless you are rich and you love it so much but it is unhealthy if you eat too much )You Gotta try it out! It's better than the chicken satay u guys tried! Please try the 'bah kuah'! It's a must try!
It is nice!!!
I LOVE BAH KUAH!!!!! I LOVE SINGAPORE's FOODS!!!!
Jun Jie see!! Someone here loves it too!! It's a must try!! And like what ***** said, chicken rice is also yummy!!
LOL!! Chicken Rice is not my favourite food but I have a instinct on eating it.
BAK KWAAAAAA!!!!
There are so much more snacks then just these OMG as a singaporean I'm slightly offended. What about the Chilli crab? Or like Mee Pok or something. Or maybe Yong Tau Fu. Granted some of these are not exactly 100% singaporean but still.
No one in the US knows how to cook these, so they just let them try packet snacks
Nerissa Goh True... So offended.
Nerissa Goh they need to stop insulting us
Very offending if u are Singaporean. I am Singaporean from the west
I can understand you that you are offended and I respect that but they can't let them try every snack. But still I respect your opinion
Okay..(Anyone from Malaysia or Brunei and Singapore please correct me if I give wrong information)
Singapore is a part from Malaysia before...
Actually Brunei,Sabah,Sarawak,Tanah Melayu and Singapore is a part of Malaysia..
Yeah I mean Sabah and Sarawak actually a country
Brunei withdrew before the independence of Malaysia..
Three years later Singapore left Malaysia...
That's why Malaysia,Brunei and Singapore foods have a same similarities
lol I'm in Singapore right now and never had anyone of those. Except for Satay. Om nom nom nom nom.
Most of the snacks are pretty old, so it's kinda tough to find them on the shelves here
Kevin L. i think most of us born in the late 80s and onwards typically only have them during cny at our relatives' houses yea?
I dropped everything when I saw this like
WHAT SINGAPORE
And all the food except the last one I'm like
Aw
You could eat some better ones XD
Like
Why no Prata?
Chicken rice, Chili crab, maybe Tom Yam?
Oh oh
and Ice Kachang! Would Kaya toast even be considered? Like the Kaya toast with the eggs?
What is that snack... Sweet peanut snack? Hwa sen tang?
And if its all just snacks then the White Rabbit sweets
Mamee (god I hope they actually USE the seasoning)
Also guys, guys
You say the food all come from all the different countries
I get that but if that was the case there'd be like nothing to be under Singapore's name.
If the recipe was brought over from the original country and in Singapore so long, it would have changed bit by bit. I'd like to call what is in Singapore here and now Singaporean food, unless it's those shops that are like "Imported from [insert country here]"
YES
Yes!
That's the way bro
except Mamee *is* imported from Malaysia. Just saying. But I'd rather eat the food than argue about what country it is from.
Tung Jean San Good enough **opens new packet** Want?
IS THIS JUST KIDDING NEWS MUSIC?
You're gorgeous
+CrAzYsNiPezzz234 you know you said that to a guy right? XD
Mudda JK is the best
ur profile pic tho... taetae♡ I'm an army btw hehe! :)
EVERYONE! Singaporean food is not originally singaporean food because its a multi raitial country so all foods come from other countries :) as a singaporean i should know because i am one :)
Lol... I'm so happy seeing this:) Singaporean for life:):):) and the food is AWESOME! U haven't tried the REAL food yet
When your literally praying
"Pls pls plsss don't pull the meat off the stick"
But in the end they still did
*sighs in depression*
The way you eat satay is TOTALLY WRONG
*sigh*
its ok
YEAH
and they are suppose to eat the things inside the melon seeds , not the whole thing -.-
Anime Lover So, how are they eating Satay wrong? And I know plenty of people that eat the whole seed that are from Singapore.
+Aubry Connor are you from Singapore? Cuz you don't take it of the stick!!!! You can chose to but it is not the right way!
Eugene and keith TRYING STUFF TOGETHER!! OH HELL YES!! my two fave try guys!!
"Singaporean Food". Yeah, right. Plus, those aren't real foods, more like snacks to me.
Tahu takpe
snacks are food if you didn't already know
chris jones I believe you understand what I meant.
They can be found in most asian countries :/
There's lots of Singaporean food. Hainanese chicken rice, Chilli crab, rice noodles, etc. You'd know this if you had traveled there and weren't an ignorant.
When he said hot Dudu I literally started crying
THE NERDY ONE / ASIAN COMBO IS PURE GOLD
Charlotte Downes Toney Agreed.
I'm watching this with headphones next to my sleeping infant and I accidentally woke her up during that scene from laughing LOL
I knew there would be arguments between Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian... Can you guys not...
Malaysia and Indonesia are always arguing
hourgmorn especially those malays
chinese and indians are cool with everything
Pollory La La Wow your racism is so positive and fills me with joy. It's so great that people go around dividing races and insulting others! :D
But no seriously can you not. It's hurtful. Plus we're all asians, we stand together.
***** i mean malays are the one who always argue with indonesians over culture and stuff.. hourgmorn should've specify that coz chinese and indians has nothing to do with malay and indonesian culture
andrew looks so deadpan the entire time and i love it.
wow I'm singapore an and I Loke the satay ♥♡♥♡ love from singapore!!!
u have the same name as me Aisyah!
Its Me Catsterz but urs is Catsterz
Aisyah Honeystars i just dont wanna put my real name..
Its Me Catsterz you just did.....
umm?
The chicken satay is more of a Malaysian food and do a American tastes Malaysian food
Actually...sate was from indonesia....if u know sate kajang(one of the famous sate restaurant in malaysia)....its precursor is from indonesia
As long as there are Malays/Muslims in Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia its the same no need to be selfish
TheFOOTBALLMANIAC96 ?? why am I selfish
Nurin Sabrina oh ok thanks for telling
lol i though it was malaysian food but i just found out it indonesian
Can you go to their neighbor? Indonesia has a lot of chicken and peanut foods. * ^* gado-gado, ketoprak, rendang ayam, ayam mercon (very spicy), ayam srundeng.
You`re making me drool and I`m fasting (╬⊙д⊙)
God dammit... Me too...
xD im sorry!!!
Malaysia is better
Shahrizal MatRifin excuse me??
That last scene of Keith+Eugene trying the squid thing and he's making the squid 'noise' and floating in water motion. Omg, cracked me up. Backed the vid up several times it was so good. XD
Try swedish food!
I'll send you some, if you pay me Buzzfeed!
I like Swedish meatball with lingonberry, not sure if that's authentic Swedish but I like it
***** that shit is waaack
***** that shit is waaack
***** I don't think many of them would get past opening the can
Satay is not from Singapore... Duhhh... Satay marinated with spices and herbs, served with peanut gravy, that's Malaysian satay.
Indonesian satay like satay padang is different. The meat is not marinated and the gravy is so delicious and spicy. Its not peanut gravy.
Singapore claims they own satay, that's absurd.
When did Singapore said they own satay. Thouught it originate from Indonesia?
By the way i am from Singapore. Hello:)
Satay is from Indonesia...
And satay is also from Malaysia, not from Singapore.
Make up your mind
It's south East Asian food lah bodoh
To you all westeners out there, Singapore is a multi-racial country not a Chinese country... Im so pissed right now looking at the comments...
Same
Even worse when they think its just a city in Malaysia :/
Animal00Kaiser Well tbh Singapore and Malaysia are pretty similar both being multi cultural countries. So I'm not that pissed when they make that mistake. I'm only pissed when they think Singapore is in China.
Poi Yee Chow Yea, dat distance plz
Anonymous - We don't need your kind either. So please use birth control as well.
fav try guys in the intro, ty buzzfeed for the pleasant surprise
When an American says it's too sugary... IT'S TOO SUGARY
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Would any of these be considered as Singaporean? They're all from different countries.
Haw Flakes and the seeds are from China, Squid Chips are popular all over Asia,
And Satay is general South East Asian, but originally from Indonesia.
I get that Singapore is a melting-pot of different cultures, but I don't think anything in this video is "Singaporean food". Maybe they should have tried other foods that are uniquely Singaporean, food you can only find in Singaporean cuisine and no where else. That would have been far more interesting.
When I went to Singapore all I ate was freaking chicken and rice
omg the same haha
when Keith did the octopus noise I started drooling out of hunger
"Singapore is doing it right."
Fucking damn right we are
I am Singaporean and I have never heard of red melon seeds
its the thing that ppl eats during cny, they r just bland and tastes like nothing......
Yea. We eat it for cny
Well, I always saw people eating that in china or hk.....
I kinda think that the black seeds tastes better
Try Caribbean food next specifically Haitian food..:)
Yeesss that would be amazing
I love how he doesn't miss a beat when he says "The phallic nature".
I'm from Singapore and do you guys have something against Singaporeans?
In some only
And the sauce is peanut sauce
Make them try Malaysian food pls!
I had some yesterday in JB... XD So good!!!
All I taste is airliner fuel and surface to air missiles.
Matt H how rude can you be honestly
Welcome to the internet, it's not a nice place.
yeah, and then there will be a big fight in the comment section whether it's malaysian food or indonesian food....
But but but isn't chicken satay from Indonesia?
(I'm asking. No need to reply with harsh words)
Mohamad Qabir i see. Thank you my friend!
its Indonesian. Its available everywhere in Indonesia too -_-
Mohamad Qabir really? I though malay peninsula are borneo and sumatra only. Indonesia is a lot bigger than that.
Okay, let's focus on satay :p
haha I just need to get thing straight. because satay originated in java, Indonesia. and I though malay peninsula are only borneo and sumatra, so it's wrong to say that this cuisin originated in malay peninsula.
The first 9 seconds.. Holy crap that building!!! SUPER FUTURISTIC!!
l was born in Singapore and l never in my entire life heard or saw red melon seeds before
yall need to chill singapore is a congregation of so many different cultures and races, theres bound to be overlapping with other countries.
God dammit if there are more comments about food being from other countries and not from Singapore again,I'm gonna kill myself
Bcos indonesians know nothing abt migration.
@MotoGP Update really?
so glad there was a ep on sg food and u guys enjoyed satay too!
I'm from Singapore but where is Roti Prata, Chicken Rice , Nasi Lemak and all the popular good food?
Basically they r doing snacks....not really rice or noodles or meals
The phallic nature of it. Ahahaha
Do GREEK food! We have greek salad, soublaki, guros!
We need these people back in the new buzzfeed videos.
