I miss Sg food! Can't wait to be back in July. Will definitely visit Tiong Bahru where I spent the first six years of life, and enjoy a nice bowl of prawn noodles which I grew up eating almost every weekend.
You packed in a lot of food stops for just a short layover! Agree with you 1000% - there’s something special about Singapore’s Hainanese chicken and rice! So good!
I loved Singapore I stayed for one month, and loved all their specialty dishes, especially the chili crab and they’re steam chicken over rice was their signature dish and the Ramen noodles and the homemade steamed dumplings. Everything was delicious. I took a boat ride up the canal at the Quay and shopped at all the little shops, and went to Chimes to Sunday Mass there, such beautiful church very special place. I can’t wait to go back.
That’s awesome and sounds like you had a wonderful time! People often say you don’t need more than 3 days in Singapore if you’re visiting. If you’re a foodie though, you can stay way longer than that and still wish you had more time 😀
@@fomoyolotravel Better that you did before than never, and I presume some attractive opportunities took you to where you are now. Plus, you never know what tomorrow may bring. All the best!
This is a good video and I love the way you introduced Duxton Hill and Tanjong Pagar, Maxwell hawker Centre and Chinatown area because I just went to explore that area last 2 weeks and ate at the Great Nanyang Cafe too. Food was delicious! Wish you and your family had a great time. Stay safe and have fun! ❤
Thank you for watching and for the nice words! 🙏🏻 It’s always a treat for me to come back to Singapore. The other food options on the menu at Great Nanyang looked delicious too!
The pleasure was mine and thank you for watching. I know I just scratched the surface and there are many more foods I’ve yet to cover. More videos in the future 😀
A hankering for guai ling gou is how you can tell someone is Cantonese. 😂 I’m Team Roast Chicken rice too. Can’t beat the roastiness, savoriness, and umami of a good roast chicken rice !!
Tian Tian is more popular amongst the tourists. Majority in the queue are tourists as there are many more good chicken rice options and cheaper than Tian Tian.😊 You have actually packed quite a lot in your stopover.
@@fomoyolotravelTian Tian is too commercialised now due to their busy business. They have cut off supply for garlic ginger sauce, dark soy sauce and chicken soup which are the soul of chicken rice. I prefer Ah Cai Chicken rice which is few stores away next to Tian Tian. The boss is the ex-chef from Tian Tian.
@@siewchankong1319 Thank you for sharing that information for a little more backstory for others reading. I will add Ah Cai to the list for a trip in the future. I did wonder why there was no soup! At the end of the day, I'm happy for their success which I'll assume is a product of their great food during perhaps their glory days. Personally, I had to try it since I never made it out there and I did truly enjoy the food (minus no soup).
Good. Next time stay in Singapore. Give your family maybe 4-5 days and explore from Jurong town and tampines and to explore the heartlands amd some popular touristy spots away from downtown
Thanks for watching. I haven’t spent enough time out in those areas when I lived there. Would definitely keep that in mind. Any specific spots in Tampines and Jurong you recommend?
My fav. place forlunch🎉is at a small Indonesia stall at basement of the the World Plaza? I've forgotten the name but this plaza is at Orchard rd next to a small cafe which is next to the Bee Chiang sweet pork squares. This plaza is just before the Singapore plaza which is next to the MRT. The small stall serves home- cooked Malay food. Its right at the end of the small food Court and it has its own Kopitiam with tables and chairs for customers of the Indonesian stall. 🎉
It amazes me how there are so many well known as well as so many gems still to be discovered. Thank you for sharing that. I miss a good Nasa Lemak speaking of Malaysian food!
They aren't design to resemble the durian. It just happen to be associated by the visitors as such. The design concept of the esplanade is that of a 60s mic that 's ben slice into half as a roof for each of the building
Another viewer previously mentioned the same thing you did so thank you for confirming. Beautiful structures either way and would personally enjoy watching a music venue there some day
@@fomoyolotravel Sorry, my comment is not a critcism, just a correction. I enjoyed yr vdo very much, well done. You packed a lot of great eats and scenic spots in a short layover. Hope you and family will return for a longer stay. I love Singapore too, happy memories.
@@minniec.9127 no it’s ok and you’re absolutely right in that it is poached. I corrected that in a more recent video. I do appreciate you watching the video as well
I've tried both malaysian & singapore chicken rice. Singapore hainan chicken seriously top the list, the juicy meat & rice aroma lingers in your head whenever you think if it.
@@fomoyolotravel try B1-35 golden mile food centre chicken rice if you ever have another chance. A good chicken rice needs to have skin ruclips.net/video/Vj6XwimK1CE/видео.htmlsi=CZ_83KVgXTpA_uL9
@@KeoNz I think it’s just a matter of opinion. For me, it was superb and a place I always wanted to try! I don’t mind when people offer an opinion but then if someone is going to say it’s “not the one”, then suggest an alternative to viewers reading the comment then (i.e. Katong Chicken Rice, Wee Nam Kee, etc)
@@fomoyolotravelFun fact: U'll tend to see that sourgrape country fly into all singapore related posts & they'll tell u they're better country than Sg or ask u to go malaysia instead🤭😆
I try to be fair and squeeze in a bit of both touristy and local things to do as there are plenty of viewers out there who are researching and can appreciate both in their planning. If you actually watched my entire video, you would probably realize that but you most likely didn’t and jumped at the first opportunity of a touristy place in my content to be a “keyboard warrior”. I do love comments like this though because it just boosts my video rankings 😉

Hi, fyi, the white Hainanese chicken 🐔 rice is poached in water, not steamed over water.
Yes I don’t know why I kept calling it steamed. Actually corrected that in my other video just released a couple of days ago. Make sure to watch it 😄
They aren't design to resemble the durian. It just happen to be associated by the visitors as such. The design concept of the esplanade is that of a 60s mic that 's ben slice into half as a roof for each of the building

Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it! I get excited for releasing each new video but found myself super pumped up for this one 😅
If you put it in the refrigerator, and wait till a layer of gelatin is formed under the chicken skin it takes the enjoyment to another level.
😋

Love Singapore!
You have to tries Boon Tong Kee chicken rice some other times.
You should try Clayfish Hor Fun at Hong Lim Complex

Hainan chicken (white version) is poached, slowly simmered in its own broth with ginger, scallion, lemongrass and other seasonings. Not steamed.

Changed your life for the worse or better? Probably worse. The food you ate in Singapore is so unhealthy.
