I married into a Chinese family that lived in Vietnam, so I learned their Vietnamese influenced chicken rice. It's fun to see so many different versions of it!
Glad you love the food from Singapore! Makes me proud as a Singaporean when our foreign friends enjoy our local favorites. Please try Char Kway Teow (Stir fried noodles with dark soy sauce), fried carrot cakes (White and Dark), Nasi Lemak (Famous malay food in SEA, coconut rice with fried chicken wings and other condiments of your choice)
SG is a food paradise, i'm a Singaporean and still never fail to be impressed and amazed by the food variety and quality in SG. Have fun while you're here!! Our lo e for food is something that binds Singaporeans together and i hope you will enjoy your trip here in a country of food lovers!
Hi Mike! I'm from Singapore and my Brother and I absolutely LOVE watching your videos! We always watch your video right away when it comes out! Hahaha that's just how much we love you. We see that you enjoy the chicken rice so much and decided to send you a Chicken Rice paste from Singapore - you can use it to make your own chicken rice in NYC! Look out for it!
That fried banana you had Mike is no regular banana. It's a burro banana that is smaller, stubby and short shape than the average 🍌 . Because they are so soft, custard-like and sweat they are often used in Vietnamese desserts like saygo puddings, fried battered as is or sliced and fried into sweat chips. Not only found in Asian but in Mexico too! Please "like" this comment so he could see this! Thanks!
Mikey, I am a vegan now, but I remember eating chicken. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. I love watching you eat just for the purpose of how much enjoyment you give me, by enjoying your food SO much. YOU ROCK.
Hi Mike!! I from Southern Malaysia (Johor), neighbor country of Singapore. My best chicken rice version is add dark soya sauce onto the rice + chili sauce. Then mix it well, combine with the hot soup. WOW!!
YEAH MIKE FINALLY CAME!!! Well as you can see many Singaporeans have the bad habit of staring too long haha, we're definitely not used to seeing people vlog in hawker centres, let alone someone who looks like Jackie Chan😂 Hope you enjoy your stay Mike, there are so many spots for you to visit from food to culture!
I love the fact that he's Chinese viewing food, so each kind of new food is relative to his massive knowledge of Chinese food and nothing is that "exotic" to him. Love the fact that he went to Singapore looking for Hainan Chicken Rice since it's pretty famous among Asian foodies.
ahahah i dont think he has ahahaah! jiren is in the new dragonball super, he is said to be stronger than the god of destructions in his universe. The arc now is the tournament of power where different universe fight so they wont be erased by zeno sama
The likely reason as to why the banana is so sweet, is that it could very well be a Gros Michel variety of banana. Much sweeter in flavour, unable to be gotten in North America. North America typically gets the Cavendish variety. Nowhere near as sweet or flavourful.
I love chicken rice I got addicted to it in Singapore my friends from Singapore brought me over chicken rice stock so I could cook it here in Ireland your video make me want to go back to Singapore
Welcome to Singapore. BTW when it comes to Chicken Rice, everyone has their own favorite. You should have someone bring you to Geylang and eat. The 2nd unofficial Chinatown in Singapore.
Youre in Singapore? Head down to changi village and Bedok Corner for food, dont just go to the popular places, heartland areas are where the good foods at man.
That oyster pancake is from a town in Fuzhou called Fuqing, and we put cabbage, seaweed, pork, shrimp and oysters inside a batter made from mung beans and rice
How many watching in 2019 who still haven’t been to this place and are still watching this at 2:47 in the morning while chewing on cookies as we have been for the last two years?
Welcome to Singapore I'm a Singaporean and I live in Punngol I am just telling you that I went to Google Map but every time I go to places it just brings me back to the same spot!! I can even get my way home..I'm only 10... Seeing Singapore the little red dot!
Hmm Mike, Chicken rice is a dish by the local Hainanese in Singapore who as a dialect group are known to be good cooks and own many coffee shops cum restaurants on the island. Thus the chicken rice DID NOT originate from Hainan Island China.... their chicken dish is not tender, does not have jello broth under the skin and does not use pandan or wentong ginger which are found in Southeast Asia.
Mike, you're finally in Singapore. Seriously you're the best foodie ever please outdo the Michelin fellas and even Anthony Bourdain where our street food is concerned. You haven't tried char way teow, prawn soup noodles, buah keluak chicken, minced pork noodles, kambing soup and honestly the list goes on and on and on.... But yeah, live it up like you do :)
omggg u gotta try: curry puff, ondeh ondeh, fish ball noodles, char kway teow, prawn noodles, lor mee, mee siam, nasi lemak, briyani, roti prata and so much more!!!!!
When you visit Singapore next time, please compare the Tian Tian Chicken Rice with the Ah Tay Chicken Rice (which is a few stalls down Tian Tian's). Supposedly, the former chef of Tian Tian had a fight with the owner and set up Ah Tay. I tried it and personally liked how more unctuous the Ah Tay rice was, while the chicken was more or less the same. I'd like to know your opinion on that. Nothing quite like a food rivalry as an excuse to compare dishes. :)
You finally came to Singapore! Enjoy the country - definitely visit Chomp chomp at Serangoon gardens and try out the hokkien fried noodles there along with some sugarcane and chicken wings, to die for!
I just saw yr post on Instagram about the meet up in singapore.i am not that active on instagram.too late.mike i hope u read this.thank u for making me come out of my shy self.just like u,I LOVE FOOD SOOO MUCH.but at times it makes me feel kinda shy to eat how much i want to n express how delicious it taste however i want to infront of the people around me.but after watching yr videos,it makes me feel like im not alone:)its food,me n thats it.thank you mike!!!
the original hainanese Chicken Rice did come from Hainan, but its different, the rice are in rice balls and the chicken is different. Theres also no chilli too IIRC.
Henry Ettoit It’s an adaptation and tweaked to be different. Singaporeans and Malaysians argue about whether Singapore created it or Malaysia created it but most will agree it doesn’t come from Hainan. Not even my Singapore Hainanese friends consider it to be a dish from Hainan.
@@san-ju30 the initial inspiration came from hainan. thats why its called haninanese chicken rice instead of singapore chicken rice. In malaysia you can still find chicken rice with rice that comes in rice balls.
Just got back from S'pore and miss it already! Also at Maxwell, don't miss the porridge at Zhen Zhen, the peanut roll at Weng Pancake, the tapioca and onde onde at Xing Xing, the almond tofu at Lao Ban,,,and almost everything can be had for about only US$3.00 or less...
He might get it sponsored/free for the publicity. Also, he used to stay in cheaper hotels, but he has (maybe 4?) youtube channels that have been doing well.

The more i watch him, the more I'm amazed at how much he can eat. Dude ate two plates of chicken and rice and went out to eat more. Legend.
Chicken rice, not chicken and rice. This seems to be a common intentional misnomer for some reason.🤣
That banana's a pisang raja, which translated, literally means king banana. When slightly overripe, it becomes really soft and sweet.
the best part about mike chen's video's are the people's reaction while he's recording lol
xSEVEROHATREDx agreed especially at 1:10 😂
True 😂
I married into a Chinese family that lived in Vietnam, so I learned their Vietnamese influenced chicken rice. It's fun to see so many different versions of it!
I just binge watched most of your previous videos. I love and enjoy your videos by the way.
Thanks for watching :-)
Strictly Dumpling pls come to Sarawak,Malaysia next
Dayak Gaming not only that, north east malaysia, you know, Sabah
That is exactly the way Singaporeans eat chicken rice. Chilli sauce over the rice, enough with the dipping, just pour it right over the whole thing.
I eat chilli rice 😂
Glad you love the food from Singapore! Makes me proud as a Singaporean when our foreign friends enjoy our local favorites.
Please try Char Kway Teow (Stir fried noodles with dark soy sauce), fried carrot cakes (White and Dark), Nasi Lemak (Famous malay food in SEA, coconut rice with fried chicken wings and other condiments of your choice)
As a Singaporean, your videos just make me love Singapore more. So proud

Amindge. ee loooool was about to comment this XD

You must go to east coast area famous prawn noodle !! It's sold out literally before evening even come around !
The only thing better than a mikey chen video is a strictly dumpling video.
Mikey, I am a vegan now, but I remember eating chicken. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. I love watching you eat just for the purpose of how much enjoyment you give me, by enjoying your food SO much. YOU ROCK.
Singapore! About time. I've been waiting a couple years for this.
Hi Mike!! I from Southern Malaysia (Johor), neighbor country of Singapore. My best chicken rice version is add dark soya sauce onto the rice + chili sauce. Then mix it well, combine with the hot soup. WOW!!
seeing the picture of Anthony Bourdain hit me right in the feels.

Crystal Gemstone I have my prelims tomorrow crieee

I love the fact that he's Chinese viewing food, so each kind of new food is relative to his massive knowledge of Chinese food and nothing is that "exotic" to him. Love the fact that he went to Singapore looking for Hainan Chicken Rice since it's pretty famous among Asian foodies.
Omg you have to figure out how to make this and teach us!! That chicken rice looks amazing!!
You ! In Singapore makes my eyes wet. Maxwell , the food paradise I miss so much. From a Singaporean long time away from home
I really want to try that chicken rice, because by presentation alone it looks so plain, but Mikey really is enjoying it.
truss it looks bland but its really good and cheap x
I love the stares you go from the people in the background at maxwell
Finally you're here Mike!! Welcome to Singapore, the (hygienic) food haven in south east Asia!
You're making me hungry near midnight but I can't stop watching... Welcome to Singapore!
Love this channel. Supersaiyan Son Goku Vs Krillen? hmmm what about Jiren vs yamcha is it that different?
dont know Jiren, but might as well be Yamcha vs Saibamen. XD how's that for a comparison? i'm sure Yamcha STILL hasnt lived that down... lol
forget jiren. It's like Monaka, Mr. Satan AND Mr. Popo teaming up against... emperor pilaf or something.
Afric Network LOL
ahahah i dont think he has ahahaah! jiren is in the new dragonball super, he is said to be stronger than the god of destructions in his universe. The arc now is the tournament of power where different universe fight so they wont be erased by zeno sama
ahahaah word, I liked pilaf forreal, one of my fav dbz movies.
I feel so happy Singapore food is being praised!! CHEERS FROM SINGAPORE!
The chicken rice and fried banana (goreng pisang) look amazing! Ah, so many food memories! 🤤😂
hi mike, its good to see this video. we met at maxwell food court. keep making great videos!!!
The fried banana is called Goreng Pisang (it's Malay), and it's a particular breed of banana native to South East Asia
Mike food channel is the BEST channel here, I only watch his! Go Mike!
have been waiting for this for so so long😄
Just started watching your videos yesterday and I can't stop!! Absolutely love your food enthusiasm and your videos!! 😇😇☺️☺️
I'm Filipino and I have been to a few Asian countries incuding Singapore. Talking about food, Singapore tops my list.
Jeremy Ceniza Filipino food is the best!!!
You are spot on here. Singapore hawkers foods is the best in Asia.
The fast turn over made the foods taste fresher
I LOVE Singapore! I haven’t been there for over a decade. I’m missing it so much watching this!

Welcome to Singapore. BTW when it comes to Chicken Rice, everyone has their own favorite. You should have someone bring you to Geylang and eat. The 2nd unofficial Chinatown in Singapore.
Raymond Chia ...What is good to eat in Geylang nowadays? Kindly share as I used to stay in that vicinity.
Geylang is good for chicken . . . of another kind.
M&M 😂
Geylang the main thing that comes to mind are Claypot rice, Frog Legs Porridge and food from various parts of China. P.S. I am talking about food.
Good to finally see you in Singapore
Youre in Singapore? Head down to changi village and Bedok Corner for food, dont just go to the popular places, heartland areas are where the good foods at man.
Mul Ismail no reply 😂well that is life and that is why I don't subscribe 😂😂😂
he literally went to all the touristy places to eat 🤨
Omg!!!! You are in Singapore!! I was talking to my parents about how I wish you come to Singapore to try the food here the other day!
Those oyster pancakes originated in Fuzhou, China. Grew up eating them, for sure the best street food.
That oyster pancake is from a town in Fuzhou called Fuqing, and we put cabbage, seaweed, pork, shrimp and oysters inside a batter made from mung beans and rice
YOURE IN SINGAPORE!!! OMG
How many watching in 2019 who still haven’t been to this place and are still watching this at 2:47 in the morning while chewing on cookies as we have been for the last two years?
They all looking like "who's this weird guy talking to a camera"?
Welcome to Singapore I'm a Singaporean and I live in Punngol I am just telling you that I went to Google Map but every time I go to places it just brings me back to the same spot!! I can even get my way home..I'm only 10... Seeing Singapore the little red dot!
it's so hard to watch this while on diet.
titin buawel ae I was literally thinking this seconds before reading your comment
titin buawel ae i
It's more harder when you're fasting
I thought chicken and rice(small amount) is a common dish for dieting
I love your honesty.. . Most food vids say everything is great 😂
You have missed the tapioca cakes which sold out by noon. 🤤 is super soft and nice.
Welcome to Singapore, Mike!! You make awesome vids and finally you've visited my country!
Look's great Mike going to Singapore in October, how to you manage to keep slim with all that food WITHOUT DIETING .
Omg MIKE!!! I'm a Singaporean! I'm so happy you came here to try our local food!
Singapore!!!!!!! 💯😍😍😍😍
I swear, when you cut the oyster pancake open, I could smell the oysters!!!!! Now if I could just taste them!!!! Yum!!
The man in 6:18 tho tacking Photos of him haha.
Kavin Sarker omgggggg
Probably thought he was Jackie chan
Kate T lol probably
Kate T lol how ignorant can you be? He knew who mike was and the photo is on instagram.
BZB well he could just ask after recording
My dear mum used to make incredible Hainanese Chicken rice for us on a weekly basis ... Singaporean food ... it will never go out of style!!
Hmm Mike, Chicken rice is a dish by the local Hainanese in Singapore who as a dialect group are known to be good cooks and own many coffee shops cum restaurants on the island. Thus the chicken rice DID NOT originate from Hainan Island China.... their chicken dish is not tender, does not have jello broth under the skin and does not use pandan or wentong ginger which are found in Southeast Asia.

Cum restaurants..... sounds interesting

You haven't tried char way teow, prawn soup noodles, buah keluak chicken, minced pork noodles, kambing soup and honestly the list goes on and on and on.... But yeah, live it up like you do :)
Chicken Rice is amazing! I personally prefer Char Sui Rice, more fat and flavour, especially with the chilli sauce all over!
I love all equally :-)
Strictly Dumpling that guy at 6:19 taking pictures of you though....lol 😄
you need to try char kway teow and hokkien mee
Owen Ho ive tried both, tasty! Im a rice guy and i love my nasi lemak

Are you still in Singapore?

feelsbadman
I'm following his blog in youtube he is in mongolia right now riding horses and eating large meat shanks!!
follow his insta, he was in Mongolia before went to Singapore
The best oyster pancake is in Jalan Besar food centre. Their homemade chilli sauce really good. The one in Maxwell uses normal chilli sauce.
The dude behind mike at 6:20 is taking a picture of mike
It’s actually pretty disrespectful
@@NakulA2730 why? mike is videoing the dude as well
You finally came to Singapore! Enjoy the country - definitely visit Chomp chomp at Serangoon gardens and try out the hokkien fried noodles there along with some sugarcane and chicken wings, to die for!
"Ssj Goku Vs Krillin."
Now I like Mike even more hahah

Glad you enjoyed yourself here in Singapore! 😄
You’re the Jacky Chan of food bloggers 😂
Welcome to Singapore Mikey!!! There are not many exciting stuff to do here but there are sure a lot of different types of nice food to eat here.
Who's from Singapore 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬me
Karma I MEEE I NEED TO MEET HIM.. SO HAPPY HE FLY SO FAR TO COME TO US
Karma I meeeee
Karma I me but school :(
THIS IS HOMEEEEE TRULYYYYY
Karma I from sengkang
I love his face when he took the bite of chicken rice! I want some too.
Just from curiosity - is there any particular reason why you accomodate in expensive hotels? You travel so much, they must cost you fortune.
He might get it sponsored/free for the publicity. Also, he used to stay in cheaper hotels, but he has (maybe 4?) youtube channels that have been doing well.
The hotels in asia actually aren't that expensive so he could definitely afford that
Cindy Duong Not Singapore or Hong Kong, unfortunately.
when you travel as much as he does you kind of want/ need that extra comfort, plus if he can afford to why not!
Cheap hotels are only a bit cheaper than nicer ones, it's worth the cost when it's a difference of a few dozen bucks (USD¿ haha)
Am getting hungry evrytime I'm watching Mark Weins and Mike Chen!!! :):).. i loveee Hananese Chicken , one of mu faves!
Did Mike steal the teleporter from GoT or something?
Welcome to Singapore! You have a lot more food to eat...I hope you've brought along your 2nd AND 3rd stomach!
How do you know if you ate something amazing? When you hear dubstep coming from your mouth.
Omg I was binge watching ur videos and was thinking how it would be like if you're here in SG! Glad you get to try the great food here!!
OMG CAN I MEET YOU !?!?!?!
Ya, shd bring him to eat the rest of the delicacy here. :)
Finally! Knew you would love Singapore!
that auntie is lying.you can find that elsewhere,it is just not as common as chicken rice.
RonLarhz She probably meant the Fuzhou style.
Yea there are oyster pancakes like in Bugis, but the style of preparation is different.
They should sponsor you, I decided to visit Singapore and Japan this summer because of your videos.
I'd feel so awkward with all those people
Pro-Widow, aww, really?
Ye singaporean is like that, they basically are nosy and likes to lets say ^ be extra ^ Ahah
That chicken rice looks so good. Then you got a whole plate of the chicken and of whole plate of rice. It must've been so good!
