Hi Steve, good to see you over You-tube again. With all of us stuck home and limited travel opportunities, it's nice to watch life overseas. Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
Nice to see you back again, steve. I like the weather there and enjoy watching your video so much,especially driving with campervan and staying overnight. Thank you so much.
That giggle when you were driving up the hill & saying you feel for the cars behind you! 🤣 Thank you for showing us the oyster place & the park. You’re right, the drive up is really scenic & is still charming on a gloomy day. And that parking spot at the park is perfect for kicking back in a camper van, looking out! The White Hippo life, one that we can only dream of in SG! Thanks for letting us live it through your channel. The oyster place reminds me of my days in Melbourne when I would eat fresh oysters at the standing oyster “bars” at the markets for under 2 AUD each. A small handful of restaurants in SG do sell under $2 “fresh” oysters but usually only on certain days/ at certain timings & the oysters tend to be pathetic in size 😩 I haven’t had fresh oysters often enough in SG due to the cost but it seems like while we do import oysters from many places they are always the briney varieties. I love briney oysters (mmmm taste like the ocean 🤤) but I also really like the sweet (not salty at all), creamy ones. Do they have those in NZ? Hope you do well in your remaining exams 👍🏼
Haha me too! Didn't get to each oysters too often in SG. I don't think I've ever tried the creamy ones you mentioned... (are they nice? Sorry keep imagining oysters with like creamy foam on them 😅) thank you as always for enjoying my video and leaving a comment Sylvia!
Woah the oyseter pie looked delicious!! live in Tauranga and you have inspired me to get a campervan during these lockdowns to get out and about. Nice to see you on RUclips again. I really enjoy your travel videos of New Zealand :)
Hey Amy thank you!! 😊😊😊 yes you should definitely get a campervan before summer! I've not been Tauranga for a long long time but I know it's a very beautiful and popular place! Thank you again for your kind comment and have a good weekend!
@@ReddotDiaries yes iv already been looking at can’t wait to get one!! Happy to take you up the mount when you visit Tauranga and you can feature on my RUclips video 😂🙏🏽
Hey Steve! Always so happy to see your new videos and they really provided me with some comfort and relief from the crazy Covid situation here in SGP! Good luck for the rest of your 5 papers! 💪
Finally, you've uploaded a new video! I have been binge watching your videos.. Lol... I've visited NZ in 2017, self drive.. Beautiful country. Btw, am frm S'pore. Love your work! Keep it up!
Love the scenery, Hope you can do more videos but can understand you have ur study and exam. No stress ya:) Anyway, you know we are here to give you support ya! From SG here! :))
Hello!! Thank you so much for your support! I also want to do more but like you pointed out have to study...😓😓 plus being slow and editing does not help 😅
The oysters look so fresh and delicious. And they've got different flavours, even tempura oysters. The views of Clevedon are totally awesome and the nice people working at the shops are really friendly too. Great to see you relaxing outside of studies.
Jus love your unique Singlish accent you had with your nasal tone. Even when you converse with the local, you stick to the same accent. Miss those small tranquil town where you roam with fresh air and nice restaurant and cafes to choose from Last experience of such was 2018 where I spent 2 weeks in Tazzie. Definitely miss NZ 😊😊
Congratz on passing your first exam! Your dad will be proud of you. Don't give up! Also, air travel has been picking up these days, looking forward to you being my SIA pilot in future!
Steve... get some freshly squuezed lemon and a bottle of tabasco for your fresh oysters next time.... you will enjoy it even more. I envy you for the beautiful view and weather.
Mmmm that sounds great too! I'm craving for them again today. Hey you too can always visit nz too once borders open and enjoy these yourself!! Really hope you do that one day!
Steve, thanks once again for the lovely video.Visited Auckland years back in 1987. Lovely but very chilly. Those oysters were so plump n nice. Could not get them in SG. Now we hv our Christmas Lightings up along Orchard Road. Pretty, to cheer us up. Congrats for passing yr 1st exam. All the best for the rest. Still with yr Singapore accent. We miss you, do visit us. Enjoyed every bit if yr videis. Do take caren be safe! God bless!
ahhh Orchard Rd Xmas lights are so special! I remember in my early days in sg I rented a room at Oxley Road (right next to LKW!) And walking to orchard one night and seeing all the lights. Wah 87 is some time ago! Auckland hadn't changed that much since then I guess and I hope you can visit again!
Congrats ~ STEVE for your passing of your exams . 👏👏👏 Thank U for all the wonderful videos of sceneries & food U got there . Awesome & enjoyed them . 😘
Hi Steve. Thanks for showing the surroundings. Oysters looks scrumptious, I'm sure it's full of flavours. By the way, you can always try to cook oysters omelette. Just scramble some eggs and fry them till almost done, then add oysters in and continue stir fry till done. Add some soy sauce for taste. Good luck on your exams and stay safe/healthy.
@@ReddotDiaries Not necessary to add starch. Normally you do find that most hawker do add starch to the oyster omelette, but there are some who does oyster omelette without this. Of course the price will be higher due to adding more eggs and oysters. Making oysters omelette requires you to prepare the eggs differently. By the way, the starch is used is actually Tapioca Starch and is added to water. Also you need to make sure the texture of the starch liquid is not too watery nor too thick, should be like that of full cream milk. If you do decide to try with the starch added, then you need the flame to be high for the starch to be partially cooked before adding the eggs (without scramble), then while the eggs is being cooked (fried) is when you break the yokes and spread them all all over the starch and stir (mix) them altogether. Only when these 2 ingredients is done do you add the oysters on the side to cook (the oysters) for a short while before mixing everything together. You need to add soy sauce on the oysters before mixing. If you like it spicy, you can try using belachan chilli paste as it is dry (with oil) by spreading the chilli with back of the spatula and spread all over the mixture. Another way (if you can't find the paste or you like to have chilli sauce added while eating) is to get chicken rice chilli sauce as this is sour in taste. The normal oyster omelette chilli sauce is made with chilli (blender-mashed) and lime/calamansi.
Simply delicious oysters naturale , the way to eat it take the shell up to your mouth and slurpppp it Yum ! No need for a fork . Good to hear from you Steve and congrats on your exam pass 👏 Ps oysters naturale goes well with lea & Perkins just a drop yummo
Hey buddy how are things with you? Sorry I've subscribed to your channel on this account which don't have yt premium so keep missing your update bro. Hope you're well and taking good care.
@@ReddotDiaries Hey bro! That's alright. I'm still in SG. My visit pass got extended till 15 Dec. I might be going back by then if I don't get the role I recently applied for. Take care!
The scenery is nice and beautiful. If sunny can c the scenery more clearly far from uphill. The oyster is big and yummy. Tempura oyster crispy and juicy . Thanking for sharing the place to us. Enjoy ur fresh oyster😋😋😋😋😋
Your video make me miss NZ so bad.. The oysters in NZ taste great I still remember. Also the view on the road is so NZ. I missed it.Congratulations on passing your paper. Great seeing something different from Singapore.
Hey Jennie how have you been? I think that view is quintessentially NZ. Rolling grass hills with sheep that just never ends. Well NZ is waiting for you to come back and they'll open the doors in April next year!
@@ReddotDiaries Maybe our local oyster omelette is nicer. Oh dear, I am craving for it now. I am ok. Hope your life is more fulfilling than ever. I am taking a break from work to spend quality time with my dad.
HELLO KELVIN!! I've never come across any singaporean since I came here 😅 apart from the boss at epacs.. I live in Glenfield and work at paknsave on weekends so say hi if you ever shop here 😅😅😅
Hey Steve, Nice food, nice weather, nice scenery .You really know how to enjoy life. Haha. The oyster pie is so special, didn't see it in sg before. All your food looks so yummy 😋always makes me hungry. Congratulations on your passing of your 1st round of exam, all the best for the rest of the exam. Look forward to your next vlog. Take care
Hey! Yes the weather, food everything was so nice that day! Haha I don't think I know how to enjoy life..😅 just normal life stressing about exams and bills to pay. So it was definitely nice to take a day off and go away. Maybe you can buy a mince pie from fairprice today and add some oysters to it! Have a good night 😊
Hey that has definitely been on my mind but due to the lockdown here there hasn't been much progress with zero flying. I think a lot of schools are really struggling without international students .. ( including my school) once we can go back to school and I have a few more exams up my sleeve I will do so! Thank you 😊
@@ReddotDiaries Explaining the structure and what it takes to get your commercial pilots licence would I’m sure be of interest and not just the actual flying. Many thanks
Wow! So nice & scenic, the vastness of nature. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Makes me feel like we're locked up in a tiny island for far too long! And you're a very greedy man, always eating. Hahaha.....no offense. Take care & stay safe yah ;)
Hey Perry haha actually I do get really greedy when it comes to food and often ending up eating too much.. 😅 sg and nz have their pros and cons la.. and hey at least from sg you can travel to many places now right
Ohhh I never thought about that combo with chicken rice chilli sauce. I remember having oysters at some fancy restaurant in sg and it was so ex! U can come to nz and eat next time la 😂
Haiya sorry sorry how have you been? I always remember your comment la 😂😂😂 planning on going to surfing school this weekend so will show you around that too! Have a good weekend!!
Clevedon looks like a cute little down. I'll add it to my list! At this rate, I will have to stay at least a month to see & experience everything! I'm so excited for you about passing your first written. I've honestly never tried oysters, they kinda scare me. 😆
Hey Trellyn, why why why would you not try oysters 😅 they're so yummy. Maybe you can try the fried ones first next time. Thank you! I was so stoked to pass and hope the next five won't be too hard. Take care!
@@ReddotDiaries I know...there is just something about them that my brain says, NOPE! If I'm ever given a chance to try the fried ones, I will in honor of you. 😉 I'm positive the next 5 will go smoothly! I got my fingers crossed for you!!!
@@trellbell don’t be afraid to try new foods. If you find you don’t like it you don’t have to have it again and all it’s cost you is a few minutes of your time and a few $. You might just find a new favourite that you will have for the rest of your life . From my experience you will have many many good experiences and only the odd bad one.
Hey Steve, Your Video randomly came across my feed. I am ex-singaporean living in Auckland now for over 30years. There are quite few places in AUckland that has good Malaysian food. Let me know if you wanna catch up over a curry laksa!
Would you happen to know of any recent vlogs of singaporeans life in NZ? Most that came up in search are like 2 years ago or more. Yours is the best latest! Very nice updates! 👍
Hey the speed limit here depends but it's pretty restrictive. And as for the mechanics I don't really know but when I service my car, the boss always complain young mechanics go to Australia to work so short man power..
Hey Anna, yeah they can. In fact surfing, fishing and golf all can without mask so long as outside. People here seem to have big resistance towards wearing a mask compared to sg.. personally I think its a small nuisance but most people take it off when outside. The one I dapao tasted really good too! Definitely worth it for $26
OK tbh I wasn't road hogging la. Probably going 70-80 which is the speed limit but on these rural roads lots of locals especially those driving trucks tend to drive pretty fast.. and I don't blame them tbh. The roads are so twisty and nice to drive!
Hey! Apparently it's not.. and it's not as strictly as enforced as SG.. no safe distancing ambassadors also 😅 I think people here are just getting really tired of lockdowns now. Imagine going through full CB again 😅 but it's almost over now!
wow, you ate a lot of oysters 🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪 How did you feel after that. I don't know how you even find these places..I'd never even heard of Clevedon and had to look it up on the map 🧐 oh my gosh NZ roads are so narrow (dangerous 😭). The campervan takes up the whole space. But at least everyone can see you well 😁
Fun fact - the plural of "sheep" is "sheep"! These words are known as "mass nouns" and do not have a plural form! And things in Singapore are pretty much the same as when you left, masks everywhere, WFH default, primary school is still on, 5 from the same household can eat together, but only 2 if you're not!
Hey Sean! Haha thank you for pointing that out. As I was editing it crossed my mind but what to do 😂 ahh ok thanks for the update on what's happening there. It actually sounds pretty similar to how it was when I left. I think I was a bit concerned from reading news about the number of deaths but understand most of them were u vaccinated or had other health issues. Either way please stay safe and take care!
Congrats for getting through your first written exam Steve. Good luck in the coming ones. You are getting closer to your goal.. Press on…
Thank you Sam for always encouraging me! Hope you have a good weekend
Hi Steve, good to see you over You-tube again. With all of us stuck home and limited travel opportunities, it's nice to watch life overseas. Thank you for sharing and stay safe.

Steve, the oysters are too tempting. You made us saliva. Thanks for bringing us to the nice scenic parks. God bless you.
Thank you Jessie! Hope you go and enjoy some oyster omelettes instead for me! 😊
Nice to see you back again, steve. I like the weather there and enjoy watching your video so much,especially driving with campervan and staying overnight. Thank you so much.

I'm so excited for you about passing your first written.
I've honestly never tried oysters, they kinda scare me. 😆
Hey Trellyn, why why why would you not try oysters 😅 they're so yummy. Maybe you can try the fried ones first next time. Thank you! I was so stoked to pass and hope the next five won't be too hard. Take care!
@@ReddotDiaries I know...there is just something about them that my brain says, NOPE! If I'm ever given a chance to try the fried ones, I will in honor of you. 😉
I'm positive the next 5 will go smoothly! I got my fingers crossed for you!!!
@@trellbell don’t be afraid to try new foods. If you find you don’t like it you don’t have to have it again and all it’s cost you is a few minutes of your time and a few $. You might just find a new favourite that you will have for the rest of your life . From my experience you will have many many good experiences and only the odd bad one.
Nice video Steve.
Thank you!!
Miss the NZ scenery!!
Come visit next time!
Hey Steve, Your Video randomly came across my feed. I am ex-singaporean living in Auckland now for over 30years. There are quite few places in AUckland that has good Malaysian food. Let me know if you wanna catch up over a curry laksa!
Hey thank you and sorry for the late reply! And yes please do let me know! I would love to grab some good msian food and chat. You can email me too!
Nice video Steve. All the best for your exams.💪🏻
Thank you so much Lucas ☺
All the best with the rest of your exam papers! The examination will be over before you know it. Enjoy your video and the familiarity of your voice.
Thank you so much for wishing me luck and enjoying my videos!
very beautiful!=)
Yes agree 100%!
Nice video! Nice camper van.
Are car mechanics hard to find over there?
Whats the speed limit of the roads there?
Would you happen to know of any recent vlogs of singaporeans life in NZ? Most that came up in search are like 2 years ago or more.
Yours is the best latest! Very nice updates! 👍
When in Rome...
Hey the speed limit here depends but it's pretty restrictive. And as for the mechanics I don't really know but when I service my car, the boss always complain young mechanics go to Australia to work so short man power..
U too used to wear mask in SG..that why...can't get the habits off.😁😅
Yah exactly. Still got that habit 😅
Just wondering can people over there jog or cycle during the lockdown?
The oysters look good! and the one you da pao is really of a good deal!
Hey Anna, yeah they can. In fact surfing, fishing and golf all can without mask so long as outside. People here seem to have big resistance towards wearing a mask compared to sg.. personally I think its a small nuisance but most people take it off when outside. The one I dapao tasted really good too! Definitely worth it for $26
Very nice place ah steve
Ehh Clovis how are you 😆 yah very nice here. Come when border opens la
How slow are you driving? I’m curious. NZ is beautiful.
OK tbh I wasn't road hogging la. Probably going 70-80 which is the speed limit but on these rural roads lots of locals especially those driving trucks tend to drive pretty fast.. and I don't blame them tbh. The roads are so twisty and nice to drive!
Hi Steve, it isn't a must to wear mask outdoor, is it ? Take care, Stay safe.
Hey! Apparently it's not.. and it's not as strictly as enforced as SG.. no safe distancing ambassadors also 😅 I think people here are just getting really tired of lockdowns now. Imagine going through full CB again 😅 but it's almost over now!
Good too see kiwis on you tube!!
Thank you Brandon!
Any nice cafes around? I think once the border opens up, many Singaporeans will come and look for you at NZ to makan and chill. 🍰☕
Hahah the borders are going to open in April! So happy. And yes if you come can look for me for sure la 😂
Love your cap! Yishun is doing well and look forward to revisit. Stay safe and well and look forward to your next video :)
Hahaha that's great to know. Used to go there to ride my bike a lot ☺
wow, you ate a lot of oysters 🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪 How did you feel after that.
I don't know how you even find these places..I'd never even heard of Clevedon and had to look it up on the map 🧐
oh my gosh NZ roads are so narrow (dangerous 😭). The campervan takes up the whole space. But at least everyone can see you well 😁
Haha yeah you know i can eat a lot 😋
@@ReddotDiaries Healthy appetite 😁
melu boooos ☕🔔
Don’t you just miss oyster omelette back in SG? Or oyster misua from Shilin.
I really do! I think its one of those dishes that should be easy enough for me to cook so going to look that up!
may be check if aircon gas needs a top up, get into the basic check first.
I think that's the problem also.. hope its not going to be too ex :(
Fun fact - the plural of "sheep" is "sheep"! These words are known as "mass nouns" and do not have a plural form!
And things in Singapore are pretty much the same as when you left, masks everywhere, WFH default, primary school is still on, 5 from the same household can eat together, but only 2 if you're not!
Hey Sean! Haha thank you for pointing that out. As I was editing it crossed my mind but what to do 😂 ahh ok thanks for the update on what's happening there. It actually sounds pretty similar to how it was when I left. I think I was a bit concerned from reading news about the number of deaths but understand most of them were u vaccinated or had other health issues. Either way please stay safe and take care!
The boy who made the tempura oysters is kinda cute...
😂😂😂
always present sis ☕🔔
Thank you!☺
Can ask them to do oysters omelette ?
No la where got 😂 although if they sold them I think it can be quite popular
Enjoy that NZ seafood price bro hahaha
😂😂 spent almost $50 including that smoothie 😓
뭐라고 말씀하시는지는 모르겠지만 재밌어요~! ! 자막있으면 더 좋을 것 같네요
안녕하세요! 자막 다는데 시간이 너무 올래걸려서요 ㅠㅠ 재미있게 봐주셔서 감사합니다! 😊😊
Stock up chilli sauce in your campervan!
I'm definitely going to do that!
Do you feel more energetic after the oysters lol
Hahahaha u know what I mean 😂
