Some fun facts worth knowing Part 1 1. It is best to find a seat at a hawker centre first before queuing up to buy food. You can 'chope' a table using a packet of tissue or even your bags. Singaporeans will avoid occupying tables with a packet of tissue or bags on the seats. 2. The $408 Golden Pig that you mentioned at 1:50 is typically used in traditional Chinese Wedding Ceremonies. The groom will present the whole roasted pig to his in-laws as a symbol of the bride's purity. The roasted pig will then be cut up and the meat is distributed to the bride's relatives. The pig's head and tail will be returned to the groom to signify "a good beginning and end" to the marriage. Such Golden Pigs must be pre-ordered, the hawker stalls don't prepare it unless an order has been placed and the customers will be notified to collect it once it is ready of collection. 3. The eggs featured at 2:25 are Braised Eggs, not Tea Eggs. Tea Eggs are rarely sold at hawker centres and they are typically found as a standalone item, not found at a stall selling Duck Rice. Braised Eggs can also be found at Chicken Rice stalls like Tian Tian. 4. When eating noodles with chopsticks, make sure to eat with a spoon. There is no need to complicate matters by bringing the plate off the tray like in 6:11. Also make sure to mix everything inside the plate as the noodle may not be evenly coated with sauce so it is necessary to mix everything so that the noodles are evenly coated. You will need to use the chopsticks and spoon together to mix everything. 5. The crispy bits at 6:30 is actually Crispy Pork Lard. Crispy Pork Lard is 1 of 2 products obtained when frying Raw Pork Lard. The other product is the rendered Liquid Pork Lard. The Liquid Pork Lard is used in cooking while the Crispy Pork Lard is used as topping.
Some fun facts worth knowing Part 2 1. I noticed that you patronised the stall that sells Tapioca Cake at 16:00. However, the cake that you bought from the stall is not Tapioca Cake. It is called Kueh Kosui, which is steamed cake made from Tapioca Flour, Rice Flour, Palm Sugar (which gives the brown colour) and Pandan. Actually the original items that the stall sells are Tapioca Cake and Ondeh-Ondeh (pronounced as 'On-day-On-Day'). Tapioca Cake is a steamed yellow coloured cake made from grated Cassava (known locally as Tapioca), mixed with Coconut Milk, Pandan Water and Sugar. The Tapioca Cake is then coated in Grated Coconut. Ondeh-Ondeh is made from Tapioca and powdered Palm Sugar is placed into each ball, before it is placed in a pot of boiling water. During the boiling, the Palm Sugar melts and becomes a liquid filling. Ondeh-Ondeh is also coated in Grated Coconut. This stall's Tapioca Cake and Ondeh-Ondeh are their bestsellers. 2. For Maxwell Food Centre (the food centre that you were at), if you want to get the most options, make sure to visit Maxwell around 10am. I believe the stall might have run out of Tapioca Cake and Ondeh-Ondeh by the time you reached there, as this stall is a very popular stall and they open for business at 7am in the morning. 3. If you like hot desserts and peanuts, be sure to try out the Peanuts Soup from 75 China Street Peanuts Soup. The stall can be seen at 6:00 with the the number '75' on its yellow signboard. The stall also sells 2 other desserts such as Tau Suan (Split Mung Bean Dessert) and Red Bean Soup (which contains brown rice and peanuts other stuff, which makes it a wholesome dessert). Glutinous Rice Balls (Peanut Flavour or Black Sesame Flavour) are available at extra charge.
You have indeed done your homework, choosing a hawker centre. Unlike others who had not and ended up complaining after paying high prices eating in expensive restaurants!! Enjoy🎉
Yes, I had watched some tourists' vlog and they kept saying Singapore foods and drinks were very expensive after they ate at restaurants, cafe, bristo bar, etc.
many of your destinations are in my bucket list and have crossed some of them after watching you guys. Now m thinking of Singapore too! And Shelbs you get prettier every year. much love from India:)
Hi, I like your foodie Singaporean 🇸🇬 hawker videos. One suggestion, if you want to avoid the lunch crowd in any hawker food centres, either go there early, like 11:30 a.m., or at around 2:30 p.m. ~ish. This way, you can easily get a table for two 👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome to Singapore! Those are braised eggs at the first two hawker stall. 😊 To eat the dry noodles, u can add a spoonful or two of the side soup into the noodles and mix it up abit. Usually the sauce will be at the base. The noodles are starchy, so they stick together once they start to cool down from going through hot water. The way we eat chicken rice: 1) the dark soya sauce drizzle on the rice 2) the chicken meat to eat with the chilli sauce & ginger sauce (optional for those who do not like it) The dumplings you guys had previously were more of China Chinese cuisine. The duck noodles & chicken rice are more of local chinese food. Ondeh ondeh is malay dessert snack, made of coconut shavings, glutinous rice and gula melaka which is palm sugar. Milo is pronounced "my-lo", which is a cocoa powder drink. 😊 Milo Dinosaur is a milo drink with added sweet condensed milk & milo powder sprinkled on top, double chocolaty! 😅
good thing some seller store are understand english and speak...they famous for Laksa noodle soup and duck... The dessert you eat is look like here in philippines... sticky rice or glutinous ground with water.. cook with coconut milk and sugar..option that you sprinkle with old coconut shreded...
I had tian tian chicken rice maybe twice so far. I dont like it the first time. Years later i tried again to reconfirm and indeed i still don't like it. The sauce which they drizzled into the rice makes it salty and i couldn't tell that it is fragrant. Secondly they dont have a side soup
Milo was developed in Australia and its spread in the region. It’s marketed as a health drink and it’s usually associated with sports with a longstanding tagline “it’s marvelous what Milo can do for you!” In Singapore, school sports days are graced by a Milo van the school hires and cups of Milo are dispensed to kids. It was also Australia which has stipulated that Milo can no longer be advertised as a health beverage due to its high sugar and high glycemic index.
Thanks for the info! We were kind of wondering why milo was advertised as a health drink since it does have a very high sugar content! 😂 so that’s good they don’t advertise that anymore haha!
the kind of Chinese food u get in Canada and US like panda express we have it here too. like your typical Fried Rice, Chow Mein, sweet n sour pork, stir fry dishes, we have it here too. If we wanna eat those we get it from the Economical Rice stalls, where u get to pick a few dishes for cheap prices.. and then at night if we eat with our family we go to Zi Char stalls, where u order a plate of say sweet n sour pork, stir fry vegetables, a whole steam fish, egg omlette, chilli crabs, etc... these are more pricey though but we usually eat them for dinner with our family.
Tian Tian is edible but it’s way overrated. Many times you only find youngsters, tourists with magazines and guidebooks in their hands queuing. So now you know…you can’t trust Michelin lol. Noodles….its not meant to be sticky, you need to mix it with the sauce and separate the noodles first. Just like pasta, if you don’t mix with oil or sauce, they clump together. The chili oil does have shrimp paste probably in the form of something called Belachan. You didn’t get ondeh ondeh….that would have been sold out by the time you went. That is a famous stall. Kueh Koshy…you were spot on…palm sugar probably gula Melaka, rice flour/tapioca flour. Milto is like hot chocolate but sweeter. It’s from Australia but popular in SEA. Dinosaur….add the powder on top of your iced Milo. The health comes from providing energy, which was important in the Singapore of old. Guess the marketing stuck. Glad you enjoyed the food but just to note, the only really “famous” stall you went to was the ondeh ondeh stall. If that’s even important, it shouldn’t be.
The rice is always the most important part of the chicken rice dish IMO. Anyone can make chicken tasty, but if you can create a fragrant rice with chicken flavor, that is another level
In Singapore don't trust Micheline unless it's a fine dining establishment haha! For hawker centers you just walk around and ask the locals who are eating there for recommendations and you'll never go wrong.
Yeah glad you guys tried that duck/char siew noodles stall. The stall owner doing the serving is very friendly. If you like char siew, you can try Hawker Chan's char siew noodles at Chinatown Complex. I personally prefers his char siew to his soy sauce chicken. That tapioca cake stall sells out their tapioca snack super fast! It is extremely popular. Hope you can try it again. If you don't see at long queue at that stall it means their popular items are sold out hahahaha! And finally a tourists/youtuber trying other chicken rice stalls instead and saying Tian Tian is overated.
At last !! A wise foreign youtuber ….. who does not like Tian Tian chicken rice too. It’s not nice . Black sauce & soup is not provided unlike other stalls. I have not heard anybody mention Boon Tong Kee chicken rice which is my favourite. The shop provides other yummy dishes too 😋😋
There are actually 4 hawker centre in the Chinatown vicinity - Hong Lim, Peope's Park, Chinatown Complex, Maxwell and 5, if you include Amoy Street (all these within 500m radius)
Milo powder on its own isn't usually sweet. The ones served in stalls often come with condensed milk which sweetens the drink and gives you the milky texture.
How about you guys take in 1 of the hawker centres outside of Singapore’s urban area and share the vibe there? I can recommend the recently relocated Bukit Timah Wet Market & Food Centre. It's at an interim location 100m north of where it used to be.
@@DavidKearns4 there are two versions. It can also be made with sweet potatoes. Another popular ondeh ondeh/tapioca stall is at Hong Lim market. Their version is made from sweet potatoes. Very good too.
Malay here. Honestly I don't think we should be dictating what others should or should not eat. Especially since they are not Muslims, they may not want to eat halal food and that's okay. But if they want to, then great. Let's be respectful and gracious hosts alright? 😊
@@danialroslan1531 Perhaps maybe it isnt marketed as well? I mean, i dont think tourists purposely only eat chinese food right? There has to be a reason why they eat certain foods.. maybe its more visible to them or marketed to them?
We do have some version of “Canadian Chinese”-sweet and sour, fried rice, etc.-but there’s so much other stuff that it’s lost in the sheer variety. 😂 Most Chinese food in North America is derivative of Cantonese cuisine (since they were the earliest immigrants), and there are Cantonese Chinese Singaporeans, so there’s bound to be some similarities. 🤗 Also, roast chicken number 1! Everyone’s on Team Steamed Chicken but imo the average roast chicken is better than the average steamed chicken-so unless you know for a fact that the steamed chicken is top tier you’re almost always going to be better off going with the roasted chicken.
Guysssss...please try other races food of Singapore. Geylang Serai Food Market, Haji Lane,Tekka Market, Eurasian Food. Singapore is not just Chinese food
You should have ‘choped’( reserved) a table by placing an inexpensive belonging( eg. 2 packets of tissue or umbrella) before going around to buy your food.
you probably waited too long to eat the noodles.. it's starting to cool and clump together.. need to pour some of the hot soup on it and mix it up a bit..
@@ChaseandShelbs Malaysia's Hokkien Mee and Singapore's Hokkien Mee are different though. much like bak kut teh they're totally different. Now before the Malaysians come in and start saying their food is authentic and taste better, let's just leave it at that. Good hokkien mee are a rare breed in singapore these days... if u ever make your way to Golden Mile food center, the best hokkien mee and chicken rice is right there... golden mile hawker is just within walking distance from haji lane... the hokkien mee and chicken rice stalls are in Basement 1... and they're beside each other...
Us Singaporeans spend a lot of money at hawker centers and spend a lot of money too on gym memberships, and then hit the hawker center again after gym. 😭
If the soups you got came with the chicken rice, it kind of washes your platter a lil so you can enjoy your food thoroughly. Many of them are not meant to be flavourful.
The first food item probably gets cold by the time you guys sat down. Too bad. I bet it taste better while its still hot and while the noodle is not stuck together yet.
Yes Tian Tian chicken rice is overrated..sorry Tian Tian die hard fans..tried it twice..I agree the white chicken is fresh n good..rice average..I still prefer Bedok interchange hawker Pin Xiang chicken rice..the rice there is good..
Us Singaporeans would never go to a stall like Tian Tian. It’s bland and overpriced. Chicken rice is everywhere in Singapore and it’s hard to F it up, cos if you do you’re outta business immediately. Go to any stall in Singapore for chicken rice and it’d be better than TT.
You don’t like tian tian chicken rice??😮 I’m a chicken rice lover. I reckon you don’t know what a gd chicken rice should taste like to A local 😂. The Q is horrendous but it’s really the best!
A China friend wanted me to take him to eat Maxwell's Tian Tian's Hainanese chicken rice. So, I decided that we went there at 4 pm; there was no queue and we could find a table under the fan. I don't understand why tourists have to choose to eat during peak hours.
Do Caucasians only go for Chinese food when they visit Singapore? We are multi racial. Are you not interested in trying food from other cultures? Chinese food are overrated, you can find them in your own country.
I’m assuming you haven’t looked an any other videos on our channels. We’ve been to multiple different countries, India included. We felt like Chinese food so that’s what we ate. 😂 and no actually Chinese food is NOTHING like it is in Canada. Look it up and inform yourself. You are making yourself look silly!
u guys are right. there's a lot of misconception regarding Milo...like growing up this will be a staple breakfast drink.. our parents and grandparents would often make us a cup of hot milo thinking this would have enough nutrition like a meal, but it doesn't... u're also right that this is like Horlick... horlick being inferior to Milo just like Pepsi being inferior to coca cola.... and Milo falls under Nestle and we know the controversies surrounding Nestle in recent times....
At last !! A wise foreign youtuber ….. who does not like Tian Tian chicken rice too. It’s not nice . Black sauce & soup is not provided unlike other stalls. I have not heard anybody mention Boon Tong Kee chicken rice which is my favourite. The shop provides other yummy dishes too 😋😋

SHELBY.... you don't know how many legit points i just gave you for calling out Tian Tian because they are exceedingly overrated.
Ikr, it’s mid at most and not worth the queue. Sorry to any tiantian die hard fan.
Hahaha yes!! I’ll take it. It was honestly terrible and I’ve had a ton of chicken rice! 😭
Honestly, the chicken rice at any Cantine by Kopitiam is leagues better than tian tian.
Best chicken rice for me in Singapore is at B1-35 Golden Mile food centre
Haha as a singaporean, I had never had tian Tian chicken rice before. As I know the place is so touristy 😂

@@NazriBuang-w9v Huh?
So delicious food 😊😊 Singapore amazing City ❤❤
There are 4 big hawker centres in Chinatown. Maxwell, Chinatown complex (level2), People’s Park complex (next to OG) and Hong Lim hawker centre.
You guys know your food, down to the ingredients , which usually is not apparent to visitors from overseas.
Aw thanks! We can agree that we tend to do pretty well with pin pointing flavours and ingredients. It’s our love for food 😍
Milo powder on its own isn't usually sweet. The ones served in stalls often come with condensed milk which sweetens the drink and gives you the milky texture.
and what you pay is also business district price, if you go to local place, it is 1/2 or 2/3 what you pay.
The milo dinosaur probably has condensed milk which makes it sweeter
Maxwell hawker centre, Lau pa sat are tourists area so prices are more expensive. Try others the places are cheaper.
How about you guys take in 1 of the hawker centres outside of Singapore’s urban area and share the vibe there? I can recommend the recently relocated Bukit Timah Wet Market & Food Centre. It's at an interim location 100m north of where it used to be.
Tian Tian chicken rice is overhyped. It is one of the worst chicken rice around at Maxwell. I worked near that area, had it once and that's it!
I AGREE! Would never go again 😂
anyone still remember a study some time ago that TianTian chicken contains one of the most E. Coli among about 100 stalls in Singapore?
Yes you are right . Tian Tian is a lousy chicken rice
The tapioca cake is looks delicious the famous one is in old airport in Singapore in hawker food center 😁
You got to chope your table.
CHOPE \chōp\ transitive verb (Singapore slang): To reserve a seat in a place to eat by placing a tissue packet on it.
Onde onde is made from sticky rice, palm sugar, coconut, and pandan.
Oh no way! We didn’t realize that. 🙏🏼
@@ChaseandShelbs plus Hawker Center Vendors don't give out napkins, so you'll need those tissues anyway. :)

@@simplyme3306 what they had isn't ondeh ondeh. We call it kuih kaswi in Malay. Not sure what you guys call it in Chinese though. 😂
Singapore is not only about Chinese food. Try out Malay & Indian cuisine as well

Apparently they only go for Chinese food so far.
Use a packet of tissue paper to place it on any free table to reserve a table before buying your food.
Guysssss...please try other races food of Singapore. Geylang Serai Food Market, Haji Lane,Tekka Market, Eurasian Food. Singapore is not just Chinese food
Yes we know. We just wanted some Chinese! ☺️
You should order the freshly squeeze sugar cane drinks.
You should have ‘choped’( reserved) a table by placing an inexpensive belonging( eg. 2 packets of tissue or umbrella) before going around to buy your food.
the secret to thick, sweet Milo is condensed milk!!
WELCOME... NICE COUPLE...
Why is that dessert ‘ kueh ko swee’ so huge ? Most places sell these at about quarter of the size so you can pop one into your mouth.
you probably waited too long to eat the noodles.. it's starting to cool and clump together.. need to pour some of the hot soup on it and mix it up a bit..
Ganda mo madame shelbs. Thanks for the tip.
Haha the way you pronounce milo is like my grandmother 😂
it’s actually pronounced Mai-Lo and the dinosaur just means the extra powder on top!
Please try a Hokkien Mee sometime!
We have tried Hokkien mee in Malaysia on camera It’s super delicious!! ☺️
@@ChaseandShelbs Malaysia's Hokkien Mee and Singapore's Hokkien Mee are different though. much like bak kut teh they're totally different. Now before the Malaysians come in and start saying their food is authentic and taste better, let's just leave it at that.
Good hokkien mee are a rare breed in singapore these days... if u ever make your way to Golden Mile food center, the best hokkien mee and chicken rice is right there... golden mile hawker is just within walking distance from haji lane... the hokkien mee and chicken rice stalls are in Basement 1... and they're beside each other...
when you see the noodle and glazed on the sauce.. you supposed to put a spoon of the soup to soften the noodle..
Us Singaporeans spend a lot of money at hawker centers and spend a lot of money too on gym memberships, and then hit the hawker center again after gym. 😭
That brown thingy dessert is like toffee taste
Locals pronounce Milo as mylo. And there’s a Godzilla version 😊
Ohhh thank you! That totally makes sense ☺️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍👍👍😀😀😀
I was just there yesterday!
The recipe for a sweet milo drink is to add condensed milk.
tian tian isn't bad per se, just that I wouldn't put it in nomination for the best chicken rice if given a choice.
❤❤❤👍👍👍
I guess some things with Michelin grade cannot fully be trusted especially in Singapore 😂
No they can’t!! 😂
Tian tian wasn’t that bad!!! But defs can get on par or better :) but definitely worth a try
Oh gosh it was the worst one I’ve ever had! But maybe I had it on an off day? Who knows 😜
It's just so-so. Definitely not worth queuing and they are more expensive!
damn all disposable utensils, thought it wasnt
If the soups you got came with the chicken rice, it kind of washes your platter a lil so you can enjoy your food thoroughly. Many of them are not meant to be flavourful.
Guys! Never heard of blueberries 🫐? Of course blueberry juice lah LOL
Milo is originally from Australia and there are variants of Milo from different Asian cities
It's pronounced as "My-low" and it's a confectioners from Australia
Milo is pronounced as "My..Low..."
The first food item probably gets cold by the time you guys sat down. Too bad. I bet it taste better while its still hot and while the noodle is not stuck together yet.
Everything was perfect! ☺️
@@ChaseandShelbs glad you enjoyed it!
you had a milo dinosaur... but... there is a milo GODZILLA!!!
Oh dang 😍😍
YESSS Tian Tian is way way way over-rated!
Hi guys how are you
Hi hi. We’re doing fantastic as per usual, hope you are doing super good ❤️❤️
Yes Tian Tian chicken rice is overrated..sorry Tian Tian die hard fans..tried it twice..I agree the white chicken is fresh n good..rice average..I still prefer Bedok interchange hawker Pin Xiang chicken rice..the rice there is good..
Yeah it wasn’t good at all. Everything about it, there’s soooo much better. I’ll have to try that one some time. ☺️
Weird. Tian Tian has one of the best chicken rice!
Us Singaporeans would never go to a stall like Tian Tian. It’s bland and overpriced. Chicken rice is everywhere in Singapore and it’s hard to F it up, cos if you do you’re outta business immediately. Go to any stall in Singapore for chicken rice and it’d be better than TT.
😂🌹👍
You don’t like tian tian chicken rice??😮 I’m a chicken rice lover. I reckon you don’t know what a gd chicken rice should taste like to A local 😂. The Q is horrendous but it’s really the best!
A China friend wanted me to take him to eat Maxwell's Tian Tian's Hainanese chicken rice. So, I decided that we went there at 4 pm; there was no queue and we could find a table under the fan. I don't understand why tourists have to choose to eat during peak hours.
Because we go out to eat when we get hungry. And we were hungry when we went 😋 we don’t choose our eating times. They choose us lol
It's pronounced "My-low" not "Me-low"
White women eat hawker and happy about it..
No malay or indian food???????
No we felt like Chinese!
It's my lo not me lo
Good to know!
Wow, you have great palate. Tian Tian chicken rice is horrible and over-rated. Same for that Michelin soy chicken rice.
Yes yes yes! I was so disappointed haha
Tian tian is overrated over priced. There are lots & lots of other chicken rice stalls all over Singapore that serves great tasting chicken rice.
With so much tiantian hate comments... Lemme say this, I do find it overrated. But no way in hell isit terrible lol.
Do Caucasians only go for Chinese food when they visit Singapore? We are multi racial. Are you not interested in trying food from other cultures? Chinese food are overrated, you can find them in your own country.
I’m assuming you haven’t looked an any other videos on our channels. We’ve been to multiple different countries, India included. We felt like Chinese food so that’s what we ate. 😂 and no actually Chinese food is NOTHING like it is in Canada. Look it up and inform yourself. You are making yourself look silly!
u guys are right. there's a lot of misconception regarding Milo...like growing up this will be a staple breakfast drink.. our parents and grandparents would often make us a cup of hot milo thinking this would have enough nutrition like a meal, but it doesn't... u're also right that this is like Horlick... horlick being inferior to Milo just like Pepsi being inferior to coca cola.... and Milo falls under Nestle and we know the controversies surrounding Nestle in recent times....
Milo(mai.low.)
At last !! A wise foreign youtuber ….. who does not like Tian Tian chicken rice too. It’s not nice . Black sauce & soup is not provided unlike other stalls. I have not heard anybody mention Boon Tong Kee chicken rice which is my favourite. The shop provides other yummy dishes too 😋😋
i know right！ one of the very rare white tourists who know what they are doing
