Inside Singapore’s Salted Egg Chips Factory | IRVINS Salted Egg
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Remember the salted egg craze in Singapore a few years ago? Well, IRVINS Salted Egg potato chips would probably come to mind if you mention salted egg.
But when COVID-19 struck, this homegrown brand wasn’t spared from the economic impact, especially with Singapore’s ban on tourists and their airport snack stores having to close.
Find out how they bounced back and continued producing over ten thousand snack packs per day!

It’s really quite expensive, but worth the taste once in a while.
How much is it
@@classicpotato3352 think it was around $10 for a small 150 grams bag.
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!

@@tama3442 i rather worship salted egg chips than your annoying ass spammy cult
I’m surprised they’re not selling in Indonesia and Malaysia
Second that. Indonesians always bring Irvin's home.
@@raissasabrina2970 it's halal?
@@user-oh6wb5rj2qCannot help you much because I am ok with non halal foods. But I guess so, they use no pork or alcohol derivatives.
Lionel Pang ever wondered how much SGD16 is worth in Indonesia or Malaysia???? People there can live off that amount for days.
Cody Lim that’s true hey
If Indonesia was more Chinese-friendly at the 90's, Irvin would still be a Indonesian now and the chips would probably be Indonesia's top snack.
May 1998 won't be forgotten.
If he's still in Indonesia, he's probably gonna have different path of life anyway and Irvin's mightn't even exist.
This would went waaaaay back to the mid 60s.
... top snack that only the rich can afford....
Won’t happen.. different circumstances create different path
Can sell abit cheaper? We promise to buy
yah theirs is still the best brand for salted egg chips. But walau $12 bucks per packet damn hard
Premium. No money dont buy.
@@xxxxxx8818 tell that to 77who press the likes.🤣 so to u everything has a premium tag too?
@@BB-qk5zz $12 for chips is premium. If you cant afford it, nobody is forcing you to buy it. And like someone above mentioned, it's the most established brand in the market with constant demand. They do not need to lower the price for people to buy the chips. Wanna know what's not premium? Pringles and jack&jill. Stick to those if you can't afford salted egg chips.
@@xxxxxx8818 well.. i feel 78 people that they could still afford to pay for that pack of chips. Just that, we could get more if it's cheaper? R u representative from irvin? But your logo looks like u r from.... haha
Watching this video as I'm eating the Salted Egg potato chips. So good! I hope you can have sales or can ship to Japan soon!!

Love this chips but it's really quite expensive for a regular Filipino like me.
Irvin's is simply the best snack human ever made.. the taste is too good, it's feels like want to die
lololololol
kudos to them, hope they survive this economic downfall and emerge stronger

This news is kind of late haha .. 2 -3 years ago everywhere in Singapore was like long Q and this Irvin fish skin is always running out of stock. Although is expensive but people will still buy 1 cartons or many packs not just one pack. Than when it get popular my friends from Thailand will ask me to help them to buy when I visit them. Now Thailand have the branch there and all over the world . I guess in Singapore it slowly down but the taste is still so far the best fish skin in Singapore market . One thing I didn't know that this Singaporean born products is actually Indonesian. Read about him he came to Singapore when he was still a child.
@Haytham Kenway wha Lao of course I know lah . I am just trying to answer to those who say that this snacks main customers are tourists. What I know is 2-3 years ago the main customers are locals and not the tourists. Because of the q catches the tourists attention and that is how it started and I am one of them to q up but now the local crowds kind die down they need another strategy to help in the business even without covid-19.
@Haytham Kenway he was born in Indonesia . Yes I know he had migrated to Singapore and become a Singaporean and he got this idea when he came to Singapore and this is a Singapore product I know yeah so? Irvin Gunawan is his Indonesian name. Why are you so possessive and narrow-minded and trying to act smart? 🙄🤮
I think most Singaporeans know this ain't worth the price, maybe as gifts, but nothing more
Nah man to me its quite nice i buy it once in like a month hahahahahah
I think its expensive bcs of the packaging. I wouldn't mind if the changing packaging honestly if they make it cheap
Never really ate this, but after seeing the people behind it and hearing their story, I shall go try it 😁 Just a really feel good story, the way they changed their business strategy to overcome the effects of the pandemic.

Sad, I was expecting to see how they packed the gecko
their mom is so cute
I didn't know the owners are so down-to-earth people! I am so glad I've recently made a review video of their products... It was really good! 🥰
How about the $1 truffle chips selling everywhere now? Always wondering why so cheap and soooo good
You mean the meadows brand that one?
wait you guys are getting chips for $1?
I want to know your location
Bruh. The Meadows brand one tastes horrible. Poor quality chips
I don't believe you Believe.
@@rey-gb3hs yes, u can find meadows $1 truffle chips In 7/11 and fairprice.
fast forward to 2023 - IRVINS chips and salmon skin is available nationwide in the USA at Costco. This is not an insignificant milestone.
I'm a Malaysian studying in TW.I used to buy a lot of IRVINS snacks from taipei101 but due to the pandemic it was closed now😭
This is really delicious. The owners are cool people too.
WTF dude, why are you everywhere? Are you trying to get viral or something?
Ahmad Aminuddin it is his strategy to attract attention
Why u guys hating. Nothing wrong with commenting
Um.....
Salted egg lizard.....
@@brannonwinchester7054 it did became a nuisance, such effortless, bland comments
please come to Malaysia. craving for the fish skin, but due to covid, cannot go to Singapore to buy.
HAHHA 😛
You guys are poor. This bag cost SGD7-8 here and in Malaysia it will cost RM22-25 just for that small bag. You guys cant afford it.
that price tag for chips? guess ill stick to calbee... whether or not its convid lol
I don't typically eat chips but i love these. I live in canada and theyre quite expensive, 26$ per bag
LOL! When I heard his accent at first, I knew that he was Indonesian rather than Singaporean and yes, my guess is right!!
I remember going pass the 313 store and the shop front was usually empty. Then, one day, this chips became so popular my friends from overseas were asking me to buy it for them..
if it's a dollar cheaper I'd buy it every week
It’s yummy. I can buy once in a while but not everyday chips for me , too expensive. LAYS is just 2$. Lol
Never buy a single packet before. A luxurious snack for the well heeled
In Vietnam they have salmon skins with salted egg and potata chip with salted egg for sale just less than $2
I love salted egg chips but I’d rather look into other brands that can sell at a lower price

these chips tastes divine!!! super worth it! ❤️
oh LIZARDS EVERYWHEREEEE. do Pokemon CHAR-LIZARDS theme next!!
Searching Scottish Indians made me find a city called Kolkata, India and made me buy a soft drink called Irn-Bru from Scotland this year. Next year, would like to buy Singapore's Irvin Salted Egg snacks online because I have been to Singapore by transit before. My budget is $US250 for online purchase a year.
I order them about 4 times a year as a treat, since it’s quite expensive.
You can buy on Amazon too
Rich parents definitely opens a huge path to opening a new business
It's so good!
The price is ridiculously high
Most of the comments, the price is pretty high. Wonder if they move the factory out from Singapore whether it can lower down the price.
I hope they change the price and more affordable for customers 😘😊philippines always like a cheaper price
Hope they will use more eco-friendly packaging
It only reminds me of lizard
First comm. never mind..
another nice video from OGS..
so how did the lizard get into one of the packet?
Poor lizard...got fried
Delicious ❤
1:05 selling $12 bags of salted egg chips/fish skin isn't going to be easy.
No they sold better than expected not worse
@@wojak6793 i never said how well the items sold. You think the average Singaporeans will buy $12 snack more than once?
Hope it will come soon in italy
First, it’s Bengawan Solo and now it’s Irvin.
Lol. You, Singapore are seriously good at poaching Chindo talents. 😂
Always wanted to try these, but it cost around 8$ for this in Taiwan. It’s 160NT and above here where I can find it. 🙃
Irvinsaltedegg.tw
zqlimy whats the point of sending me this? Hahahah did you see the prices in the website? 210Nt for small 420Nt for big = 10$ SGD for small 20$ for big one lol
Haytham Kenway bruh, Affording something is never the matter to me. It’s about wether the product fits the price, if it’s worth it or not. If you think getting a “big” bag of chips filled with 50% air in it for 20$ is worth, suit yourself. As long as you’re happy 😉
*fyi, I would have you know that 20$ here in Taiwan can get you estimate 8-10cups (depending on stores) of pearl milk tea.
wheres the segment on salted egg lizards?
We need these in the UK!
When it is every where...the feeling of exclusiveness is lost and ppl will soon start to lose interest.
Why not reinvest in johor and reduce the production cost?
It'll cost more in terms of food security, theft security and laundering risks. Who dares invest there?
Interesting...
He has opened branches globally but not Indonesia even though he is Indonesian lol
unhealthiest food , sky rocketing yr cholesterol level
Why their accents not like Indonesia accents but more to Pinoy accents?
No, he has indo english accent.
@@charlesmartell2396 i guess i must have misheard or their accents seem close to pinoy accents.
@@tommyfield8449 we indonesian sound like that when speaking english😂. But his accent not very heavy.
Sy pertama kali dengar itu adalah orang indo...ternyata benar dugaan saya.....
Why they haven't selling in Malaysia yet??
16sgd x 3 , even Lays is considered expensive in Malaysia already with rm18 per pack 😅
Salted lizard skin got anot?
u mean cicak goreng?
I wonder are they hiring ppl at this time?
Yeah i see no potential market for Indonesia because all they ask is cheap price and halal certified although Indonesia wasn't religion based country
Are they Singaporean’s? Serve NS ?
No
So expensive for what? 🤣
KAYA MAHAL..KC MAAYOS PROSESO..ISA PLANG NATIKMAN KO UNG POTATO CHIPS SPICY
Indonesia banget aksennya
Never eaten before. Zorry.
do u sell in japan
Why are your products so expensive?
Capitalism
Ridiculously expensive. Flavour also not as good as in the beginning.
Id rather eat fresh fried salted egg fish skin at restauranrs
it’s really not worth the price tho
I've never eaten Irvins, even $5 a pack, how to afford? I can eat a set meal at Macs loh.
Isn’t this the one with the lizard inside the chips
yup
Wow !! Taste better.
the lizard jumped in when they are busy waving at us LOL
Salted egg chips PRO PLUS
@@vespertines. it's a joke 😂
The poor lizard got fried
👍👍👍👏
Where are the true blue Singaporean entrepreneurs?
ive never had this chip, and i am singaporean. lol
Where do the lizards come from?
The salted eggs used are salted lizard eggs from Vietnam.
too expensive
Do you have “Chiobu Flavor” ??
In the USA. It cost like $13 and the bag isn't that big. Big bag of chips are mostly $3 and i'm talking about party size bags. If i'm walking in a snack aisle and a big bag of hot Cheetos is only $3 i'll grab that instead of the $12 chips. lol
Raw material is fish..
The quality is very inconsistent, the first we tried the product it was very nice, however the next few purchases, the product its totally tasteless, and the fish skin is all clump together.
$10 potato chips??? this must be the most expensive potato chips in the world. it would not sell when sold in a supermarket where there are other similar products. probably can sell at changi airport when people look to buy this as a “gift from singapore” ... but not as a pack of potato chips.
Singapore labour and infrastructure costs are also not cheap leh. It's a premium product with a flavour people would pay for.
Lol i bought this at a super hmart cuz i wanted to try something new so yes it does sell at supermarkets
Too pricey for chips.
You try to be atas and only sell in your stores and mainly to tourist....now pandemic hits, you need local help. The local should be your main focus, not tourists.
Still same price tho. $16 for a 230g pack. Never decrease price at all even tho no tourist to chop.
Try golden duck is cheaper tho
@@mingzmings88 he got say mainly sell at tourist already. Easy to chop
@@mingzmings88 in the way is right. But if you listen again he said " one of our store" is serving tourist not in whole that what he mean. I think he should referring to the one at orchard 313 branch. Initially it was the local to buy and create long q and the tourists are curious about it and buy as well. After eating they kind of like it and started to buy in carton back to their countries because Irvin doesn't have branch back at their home. That is how when tourists buy they would bought it by carton and many packs. Now the local slow down. Irvin must have another strategy to sell it online and oversee to expand their business
@@eugeneho8677 if you listen again I think he said " one of our branch are serving tourist is it? " I think is the one at 313 orchard ? Maybe not in whole . I remember I q up with my friends to buy when they just stared at orchard. Mainly the locals . But tourist will buy even more because they don have Irvin back in their countries. They bought in cartons haha
Halal?
Haram and pls shut up
What is this lizard comment ?
Someone found lizard in their irvins salted egg packet
Shitty chips that always have lizards and other “treats” in them. Free extra carbs 😂
Damn xpensive, bad for health.
I am surprised at how well fish skin is received by people when its just some recycled junk.
it's delicious! delicious recycled junk!
Not worth it at all, given the "premium" pricing, chips are stale and doesn't feel fresh, not a lot of salted egg flavor. A much cheaper bag Lay's taste way more fresh.
This product is priced exorbitantly high. I make it myself at home and it cost me less than $1.
this chip is overrated... lays is much higher in cp value..
*Sadly, it is not vegetarian*
Fish skin gave it away
He's not even Singaporean...
Overrated. Not worth buying
Dunno why many people are into this salted egg crap. Comes with high cancer risk.
His mom is my ex-boss..
:)
Damn
