FACT: Singapore is actually less expensive compared to most western cities like New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Sydney, etc. in terms of public transport, local food and everyday household items incl. groceries.
Welcome to Singapore. That's char siew (roasted pork, not duck @6:18 Tian Tian chicken rice with that long queue is only popular amongst the tourists. Those queuing are all tourists. Is Malay/Muslim food, we don't call it Malaysian food per se. You can get local coffee or tea at the hawker centres for less than $2 and a breakfast set for around $5.
Such great memories, I was there for the first time in October! A friend from there took me to Uncle Loius' as well and it was delicious! From there we also walked over to Marina Bay through many alleys and building lobbies. The orchids there are amazing, we also went to see many more in the Botanic Gardens. It's too bad you didn't go up to the bar on top of MBS, the snacks are good, the drinks are great and the view is amazing... even if you've never watched Crazy Rich Asians :) Thanks for all the great vids from SE Asia, I'm still here enjoying it all and I appreciate all the great work you did shooting and editing your posts!
"Futuristic twist on nature"... seems like an apt description! Yeah that Marina Bay Sands is such a head turner isn't it. Sure appears to be a ship, or a train running across the top. Food looks yummy. (though a little taken aback by the sight of the duck head LOL). I hear Singapore's airport is absolutely mind blowing, ranked #1 in the world. Also people say you can literally eat off the street it's so clean. Haha yes I'd be looking for otters too! Loved the video...what else is new....and the closing goosery (what the heck was in those dumplings? LOL)
Honestly, I wouldn't say Singapore is even in the top ten most expensive cities we've ever been. The Hawker Centers make up for it for sure. Cheap, delicious food everywhere! 😋
Welcome to Singapore, the city in a garden. You guys look like a fun and chill couple! Glad you liked the local food in the hawker centers...and they are cheaper than visiting restaurants.
Otters r out early morning n sometimes evenings. Local coffee is less than $2 n tastes better with caramel notes. U r in town n breakfast n dinner r served near people's homes. Try d town centres when u pass by again.
Wonderful video with great shots of all the sights and food. Yes, some orchids have beautiful fragrance. I have plant envy that you saw all those beautiful plants.
You don't have to stay at the Marina Bay Sands to go to the top. The rooftop Skypark is open to the public at $32 each but that would blow your budget :)
Fantastic video, fantastic Singapore! Please go over your budget slightly and see all the reasonable priced places! Will definitely visit the Food Courts! Where's my $100, ha, ha? Southeast Asia will miss you lovely ladies! Please keep on making these entertaining uplifting informative videos! Thanks and loves!😻💜
The most expensive expense in this video i think is the starbuck coffee , you should just buy from the hawker center a iced coffee/ kopi peng which normally cost less than $2.50
Come back soon! Bring more money! But seriously, there are lots of free things to do in Singapore. Did you miss the Jewel at the Airport? That's mostly free (except for some ticketed attractions at the top floor). There's another light show a Marina Bay Sands in the evening, also free (next to the Apple Store). Hope the sample of Singapore you got will lure you back in the future. Bring more cash to buy souvenirs! Our merchants need to make a living too! Glad you had a good time and that this was worth it. Do come back soon. With or without a big budget. The duck noodle seller misses you!
Have followed your travels from the beginning when you arrived in Bangkok where I reside and have loved each VLOG since. SAD you are leaving SE Asia and hope you might consider returning soon and calling BKK your home base as you expand your channel. Actually wish you could spend Christmas, New Year's, Songkran, Loy Krathong, Pride Week and other holidays in BKK which I'm sure you would enjoy.
If you stay in Hotels in the city, it'll definitely cost higher. Try staying on the outskirts of city, better rates and also nearer to local hawker centres. Anyone coming to singapore again, can drop me a msg. Glad to know more ppl
Was the hawker food $5 to $7, MRT train $1.50 to $2, taxi fare $1.20 for about 1 minute journey for normal taxi (not grab) expensive compared to say New York, Paris , Zurich , etc ?
Cost of living is a tricky one because it can be easily manipulated for an infinite number of variables so it's impossible to define and generally offers a poor representation of the actual cost of living in the country e.g. what your basket of goods is, whether you're an expat/tourist/resident, whether you are looking to own a car, and the list goes on.... The high cost of living trope that gets pushed around ever so frequently, especially in western media, generally considers cost of rent, owning a car, and having meals at lavish restaurants for expats (at least for foreign publications). So budget travelling is actually possible in Singapore and one can still enjoy the food, culture, and local scene without breaking the bank (might even be more affordable), especially if you're a tourist travelling from a developed economy with a competitive salary.
Uhh..the duck noodles had a good serving of roasted pork too. The reddish ones were duck and whiter ones are pork. I think first bite for both of you were the roasted pork..
As a local we care , just that we are not that outspoken. holding hands still ok but anymore intimate acts especially infront of our kids and family, will get a reaction from us. Respect go both ways.
Just from watching their videos, Asia in general doesn't like excessive PDA but holding hands or a quick kiss is ok. They just are mindful of where they are.
Some say money cannot buy love, but people truly love money, therefore money can buy love. The one thing that money cannot buy is time. So if you have time on your side, consider yourself very lucky.
I wouldn't wait for the otters...they are very unpredictable and might not show up. If you are touring the place, you probably can't afford to waste your time waiting for otters to show up.
I never considered Singapore to be super expensive. I just assumed it would be similar to the rest of southeast asia. Thanks to this video I'm going to have to rethink when and how long I'll be staying. 😅
Singapore is the only developed country in the region. You cannot compare a developed country with other developing ones around it. Try comparing with other developed Asian countries or cities.
@@simplyme3306 I don't know what you're trying to mean. I'm just saying I didn't expect Singapore to be that expensive that even Westerners say so. I was assuming expenses will be similar to central Manila but looks like I have to bump up expectations to be more in the higher end of Manila.
@regrr1774 Manila and other South East Asian countries are all developing countries. Many visitors tend to forget this as they compare Singapore with them. Singapore is a developed city state comparable to New York for example. Or to Japan, Australia. You would have to compare developed country to another developed country.
@regrr1774 Philippines is far off from Singapore. Further down than Malaysia. We have affordable hawker food and fully connected and affordable public transport system. Only thing that is considered expensive for visitors is accommodation.
Jill doing everything to avoid food containing green beans. It all looked lovely. Question (this might blow your mind Jill it's about public transport lol) If you wanted to treat Hannah to a bus ride do you scan your credit card twice or will the bus think you got on and decided to get off again ??? Safe travels looking forward to your next adventure
You actually wont be able to do that with your credit card upon entry into the bus if you try to tape it twice. It will just say "Entry Ok" until you tap out, then it will register as a new bus ride. The rides are also calculated based on distance, so if you forgot to tap out, your card will be charged the maximum amount possible from when you enter till the last stop of the bus route.
Hi! Greeting from a born local Chinese. Taylor Swifts brought in western women. Singaporean thanked her. This morning I met at Queenstown hawker ctr. An Italy lady married a born local Chinese guy. Her daughter is mixed blood beautifully. Their son is 2 yrs old he is growing up well. I thanked the couple for contribution to total defence, because 20 yrs later the boy will serve national service. Singaporean welcome western ladies &, we offer a country of many nation.
And i think that's is why Singapore is so expensive, because Singapore have to buy everything from other countries... water, energy,food everything,even the nature they have to build it from scratch.... don't have enough space for aquaculture, farming....and for park a ship..they have to park a ship on top of hotel...omg can you imagine how expensive it is?😁 But Singapore is amazing
The world's most expensive city? Only if you want it to be that way. Not sure if the content creator is deliberately doing this for clicks or she is really ignorant that you can spend a lot less in Singapore.....
What is this ? Some kind of Hotel California such a lovely place ? Californication.Red Hot Chili Peppers ? Been the before the place called N.T.U.No thanks Haha
Welcome To 1 Day In Singapore, Bummer. Wonder how much you paid for hotel? Did you know hotels can be found for. under $$75.00US in the red light district and 1 in Chinatown?? (( might only be good for 4 Hotel rooms that day )) I am extremely interested in going to Universal Studios, Chinatown and Little India. Yummy and delicious roasted duck. Yum dumplings. I guess no Japan, So Sad. Outstanding All Around
Hi! Inflencers brought up ways to work in Spore. Migrant to expat. Times changed. It is not $1000 and $30000 salaries. It is do we have what it takes to earn it? The term foreign talents. Work very hard. Singapore has alot to offer. I mean no harm. An advice. Careful of PRC.
I'm not surprised the ones who disagreed with u were Singaporeans themselves. Some Singaporeans are just unable to accept any form of highlight, feedback, complaint and criticism as they are infamous for being self-entitled and in self denial 😂
seriously you picked a bad city to be on budget ... what I am surprised you managed to do it . I do not have to pay for housing , and travel , still end up lot more than 100... I use to make about 5K SGD before tax per month it would vanish .

12:37 It is so cool that you're visiting the Cloud Forest during the misting period! :)

You guys both are so gorgeous.. I can’t stop looking at you and hearing your voices…. 😊
Yes, there are otters around but you might not see them often.They can come up as a group and even roam the streets
You don't have to stay at the Marina Bay Sands to go to the top. The rooftop Skypark is open to the public at $32 each but that would blow your budget :)

The taxi $1.20 is wrong, the meter start at $3.30 or $3.60 , couldn’t remember since it’s some times i took a cab myself.

I’m a gay woman. What countries/cities do you you guys feel comfortable holding hands and showing PDA vs countries you don’t.
Lgbt is legal in Singapore. I would say majority wouldn't care.
@@jefflim3559agree. Just don’t do/ bring any nonsensical stuff here. 😊
Be civilised, respect the locals who are still conservative and nothing over the top.

Otters can be found near gardens by the bay. Wait for their appearance.
Then watch them eat pet fish 😢😂

Visit Singapore I like tourists from San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Newark, Washington, Denver, Vancouver, Toronto, and
Montreal.

Singapore public transport is one of the best in the world when I go there I actually enjoy taking the bus. Hot as balls 😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
hawker centre has good enough food at reasonable prices., no need to go restaurants
And i think that's is why Singapore is so expensive, because Singapore have to buy everything from other countries... water, energy,food everything,even the nature they have to build it from scratch.... don't have enough space for aquaculture, farming....and for park a ship..they have to park a ship on top of hotel...omg can you imagine how expensive it is?😁 But Singapore is amazing
You guys should pick up the standard grip for chopsticks. There're some tutorials on youtube.
100 USD is 134 SGD . Singapore Median salary income in 2023 is 5200 , daily 173 .33 . So 100 USD is not enough for a median salary worker
Hope you girls visited the Jewel in the airport? If not, it's a good reason to come back. 😂
next video!
One day i will get there.
Next South korea, Dubai, japan...
Singapore is expensive city especially for foreigners. Thanks for sharing 🙏 nice video
Its expensive even for the locals lol
Not if you do enough research.
The world's most expensive city? Only if you want it to be that way. Not sure if the content creator is deliberately doing this for clicks or she is really ignorant that you can spend a lot less in Singapore.....
Equal switzerland's zurich
gonna go to singapore just to get myself a cute tiny bowl
JK GOING FOR THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA LIGHT SHOW TOO the way I GASPED when I heard the opening chord lmao
lol lets goooo
Y'all don't sound like you're from the South. The food looks great, but I can say for certain that Starbucks is not legit coffee!
They grew up in Florida, that's why. They lived in Nashville after college.
@@MrsSajberry3 Maybe that's why I like them (besides them being funny)- I'm a Floridian too!
lol thanks! I agree - I've had Starbucks a couple times since and I can't drink it 🤢
What is this ? Some kind of Hotel California such a lovely place ? Californication.Red Hot Chili Peppers ? Been the before the place called N.T.U.No thanks

Singapore is relatively cheap compared to the US.
Singapore is still very affordable compared to New York City
That's it? Only visited KL? You have seen less than 1% of Malaysia 😂
$100 (SGD)? Last you over a week in the residential area and you are not required to be smart. Just don't be dumb.

Expensive??? Visit Switzerland
Singapore 🇸🇬 used to be really cheap, but now it’s super expensive….have fun 🥂
Please stop putting the labe that Singapore is the World's Most Expensive City , cos in reality it is not as you must have discovered !
Nah, overrated city
Over rated by you? Because you didn’t do enough research and just believed wholesale the first article you read?
You are just jealous.
I'm not surprised the ones who disagreed with u were Singaporeans themselves. Some Singaporeans are just unable to accept any form of highlight, feedback, complaint and criticism as they are infamous for being self-entitled and in self denial 😂
Hi girls.
Not the most exciting city in the world and yes.... very expensive.
Take care
seriously you picked a bad city to be on budget ... what I am surprised you managed to do it . I do not have to pay for housing , and travel , still end up lot more than 100... I use to make about 5K SGD before tax per month it would vanish .
i live in Singapore and trust me not EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!
I see u stayed at our red light district area 😂
