- Singapore, Sentosa Island - I didn't think that Singapore also has a beach like this!
My Singapore Street Food tour➡️ • 1st Time Trying Singap...
There is an island right in front of Singapore called Sentosa Island. It's actually not far away from the Singapore city center and I heard it's a popular spot for locals to hang out. I was curious so I decided to go! Join me an a day out here on Sentosa Island, a place that offers lots of things to do in Singapore. Some of the things were quite a big surprise including the amazing beach I ended up finding!

🇸🇬 My first time trying Singapore Street Food ➡ruclips.net/video/0LgCd6maYHw/видео.htmlsi=DXqC7EUp6bTR7U7j
Hi ken good evening to you🇵🇭♥️
U should definitely try magnolia ice cream if u haven’t, it’s delicious and I recommend mocha chip or whatever that’s called
Oh how I love Singapore! The people and the cleanliness and beauty of the country are all amazing. Can't wait to go back to visit. ❤️
Welcome back to Singapore.hope you have nice and wonderful holiday here👍🙏
It's getting bloody expensive though.. 😄
@@iskandartaibif you can afford groceries and a house and a phone then it isnt expensive.
@@xxDxxism Affording a house.. in Singapore? Oh boy. It's definitely expensive when you're visiting. VERY expensive compared to what it was 10-15 years ago.. back then it was more or less affordable.
@@xxDxxism it's getting difficult for many here to afford them all.
20:15 That's actually just a demarcation for a zone where vessels may not enter. It's also to let swimmers know not to cross that boundary because right after the boundary is a channel that small vessels may travel up to 16 knots.
The nearest international waters boundary are around 4 nautical miles directly south of the beach you were at, which is way beyond all the large vessels.
The waters surrounding the whole of tiny Singapore Island is the Singapore Port Limits. The southern most point of the limit is as far as Raffles Lighthouse which is about 14 kilometers from mainland Singapore. Beyond that is International waters. Singapore is the 2nd busiest port in the world. As such, we will see many ships harbouring along the coast, even at the beaches at East Coast Park.
I love ken, he is so real n funny . Enjoy watching his video. He bares himself naturally, like afraid of height, curious on python, strikes conversation with people.... all at ease😂❤
This episode should also be called Ken’s Journey to Challenge Fear, haha!
That high-altitude bar has the same concept as the Belgian sky restaurant!
That snake makes you look stylish, you're like a top supermodel!
I don’t understand why many people hate British fish and chips. I think they are delicious!
You did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing! 👍🥰🙌
Bro , I’ve been looking at Singapore vlogs for a while now and your videos are really good; I get to hear how the locals talk and interact. And I appreciate you for doing things your not comfortable doing just to give us A1 content. 💯
Glad you like them 🙏
Your videos are really nice, the pace is good and relaxed not just rushing around.
Singapore is an amazing city--organised, efficient, safe.
A lot have to give credit to the leaders , government, the unsung heroes implementing this vision n some policies however the some Americans always condemned our human rights issues,,no freedom..death penalties for drug dealing n murdering. Americans are fine with people carrying guns,,drug cartels doing drugs..daughter unsafe to walk alone late night,,they fine with that..their”freedom”
Fr I am a singaporen it’s very safe
Ken, the sauce they gave you with the fish is tartar sauce. It is served here in the US with fried fish typically. I am enjoying your videos in Singapore. Safe travels.
I love this kind of travel content where you take your time to immerse in the area. So many videos I see are so fast paced it makes me exhausted just watching it let alone experiencing myself. Your videos are much more relatable and realistic~ thank you for showing my country in your channel, maybe one day you’d come back!
Thanks a lot, happy to hear that 🙏😊 I'll be back for sure!
The blue floating barrels are just markers beyond which swimmers should not venture. The waters beyond are still Singapore waters until Raffles Lighthouse farther South. St John's, Lazarus, Kusu etc are south of that blue line. The ships anchored are waiting for their turn to offload or pick up cargo from the terminals.
Sentosa Island was developed as a resort in the 1970s.I have been to Singapore many decades ago-actually took a couple of photos on Sentosa Island with my family.
It was really nice seeing it in 2023 through your RUclips videos -thx 4 sharing.
Danke Schoen
As a Singaporean, I find it quite wholesome you tried to communicate with the chinese man at the beginning to ask for directions
This is something new to see, of course I've heard about Sentosa Island but because so many channel just highlighting most modern part of Singapore, I tend to forget such place exist in Singapore. Its small, but pretty & interesting! Your journey this time will get more interesting if you travel and enter Indonesia through Batam Island or Riau.
Been to Singapore about 6 times and loved each time. It IS very expensive, almost the most expensive city in the worl. But it is also beautiful and very ordered! Have been to Sentosa, the parks, etc. I would encourage to ride the Ferris wheel if you have not already done so. It is amazing and considerably higher than the 'ride' you were on in this vid. I did not find it frightening because of the size of the coaches. And the photo ops are wonderful.
Glad you are enjoying your stay there, as I have. Enjoyable vid.
We're all caught up with your travels now Ken. We're always amazed with your vlogs. Singapore looks amazing and very friendly people again
Stay safe and well. Best wishes from myself and Julia here in Wales 🏴🇸🇬🙏
Hi Ken! I'm your Singaporean subscriber having been subscribed for ard 2 years now. I hope you are enjoying your trip in our tiny Island! Here are some places you can visit in SG: Fort Siloso, Fort Canning Park, Clarke Quay, Arab Street, Little India, Geylang Serai, Macritchie Reservoir, Henderson Waves, Treetop walk, Mandai Bird Paradise, SG Zoo, Night Safari, Berlayer Creek Boardwalk, Tampines Eco Green, Kampung Lorong Buangkok, Punggol Promenade, Pulau Ubin, Kusu Island, Lazarus Island, Pasir Ris Beach and many more😅
Thank you 🙏
you memorised the ss textbook from primary school ...
woah this is some unique experience! thanks for showing us singapore!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Hello Ken. Yes, this is a very common British meal. I have tried it in Asia a couple of times and it was not properly made. What you just had, howevever , looks very well made, like in a good fish and chip shop here. The chips (deep fried potatoes) in the UK should be a bit crispy on the outside but quite soft in the middle. That is how we like them. In fact it is not easy to do, and some fish and chip shops do not do it very well, even here! Good luck to you Ken!
if you like nature in tiny sg.
1. walk around macritchie
2. Bukit timah hill
3. botanic garden
4. lazurus island
The reason you find many ship anchored because Singapore is one of the busiest port in the world, the ships are waiting their turn to enter the port....anyway enjoy your stay in Singapore.I enjoyed watching your videos in Singapore
Thanks a lot 😊
To be exact, Singapore is the second busiest port in the world after China, Shanghai. @@KenAbroad
That's the western anchorage.. check out the maritime port authority (MPA) for more info.
www.mpa.gov.sg/port-marine-ops/operations/port-infrastructure/anchorages
That looks great . People and food are wonderful and the beach was great .
Yes, they use batter (flour and water, sometimes beer)rather than breadcrumbs, but the worst places put it on much too thick, and it is heavy and sticky. The best ones put it on thinly and it is a bit crisp. I like the look of what you had actually, fish not overcooked. I had fish overcooked recently....hard batter on the outside, the fish was dry on the inside, not like yours!
Hi Ken! I’m new to your channel, just binge watched all three Singapore episodes. Glad that you had a good time here! Such a humble, friendly and nice tourist is always welcomed 😊 Will watch your travels to other countries!
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel 🙏
Hey, a tip for anyone venturing to sentosa island. So if you’re looking to go to sentosa island however you’d not like to pay a cost for transport to go sentosa, use the boardwoalk to the first station and then you can ride a monorail with no charges. You can also take free shuttle buses in and out of sentosa as well.
Hallo Ken thank you for your day on Sentosa Island
I will be ins Singapore , also a single traveler and it’s so comforting to see I can visit Singapore by myself and go to the beach and feel completely safe and comfortable
Lol I am so scared but will try the heights and look at the beautiful view. Will let you know if I grew a spine to attempt it 😅.
Really appreciate your video.
Enjoy your travels
There r also East Coast beach, Pasir Ris beach and Changi Beach. More local vibes.
Yes you really surprised me by showing the natural beauty of singapore coz I have the same thinking about singapore as you, modern concrete city... Lovely ❤
Singapore actually has a lot to offer 🙏
Lol.. Actually the beach is man-made.. Sorry for bursting your bubble😂
24:50, those ships are not disallowed from entering. Singapore is one of the busiest ports in the world… everything that goes in and out of Asia to Europe and Middle East pass through here. The ships are passing through/taking turns to go in and out of the port. More than 1,000 ships a day pass through.
I have been there and it was amazing....Singapore is just amazing !
I'm a local Singaporean and even I have not been to the sentosa, only just the outskirts of it while I was cycling by. looks great and awesome. Enjoyed your videos. The only pain is seeing you under the hot sun for so long, it's something that I avoid a lot. The weather is something I cant stand, and prefer indoors aircon. happy to see you enjoying the outdoors.
Hello, good evening, Ken and everyone here. Have a wonderful weekend. Great to see more of Singapore again thru' your eyes.
Happy weekend everyone 🙏
SG , beautiful landscape from birds eye view .
A million dollar view with clean water although our country surrounding ports..
The float in the sea is a safety barrier for swimmer.
The ship is actually park in the sea . It is still in the strait of singapore . Ship has to wait for their slot and permission to berth and unload their goods. Some ship just park there to wait for their assignment
Love discovering local hangout spots when traveling, and it seems like you stumbled upon something special. 🙂
SENTOSA is actually pretty touristy.. it’s an island literally built for tourists.
Hi Ken, as Singapore is also a trading n shipping port, the ships you see ankored there are waiting for the allocation to come into port n unload their cargoes n after which they will wait for their appropriate time to come but into port to loaded the out going cargoes again before leaving for other ports, also some are there waiting to be reloading their supplies n top up of fuel for their next voyage.Some ships rest there ,for a few days , to change a new crew n then set sail again
I will never go up so high … looking down is super scary.
The container vessels are in the anchorage area. They are there for various reasons - refuelling, transit, transferring containers, etc. Transferring of containers will be at PSA wharf, and they have to wait for their turn to dock at PSA (Port of Singapore Authority) wharf. The MPA (Maritime Port Authority) will run the maritime related matters with them while they wait in this anchorage area.
Swimming with ships around you and airplanes passing every minute over your head is a unique and rare thing to do in Singapore changi village beach. There are also many visitors here.
Also, you don't need to take the tourist bus while in Spore. Just take the local Sgbus and get an upper front seat and enjoy the view of the city. Have an unlimited pass n go anywhere in the island with all public transport except sentosa.
When you finish Spore, Batam, Indonesia is only 1 hour away by ferry. Crossing the world's busiest shipping lane the Singapore strait is a must and an epic experience too. Best is to depart from JB terminal as you will cruising thru the Johore strait where Malaysia on ur leftside and Singapore on ur rightside. And the fare is reasonably cheap.
Try to imagine a "$" sign on every ship in the Singapore harbor. They spend standing charges, docking charges, business charges, maintenance, cleaning & resupply charges, plus their sailors probably have their R&R and lose money at the Casinos. There are, on average, 600+ ships in Singapore's waters every day. Multiply this by the tens of thousands of "$" that each ship generates for the Singapore economy, including indirect expenses such as banking, insurance, warehousing, etc. and you begin to realize that it is the most important lifeline of Singapore. All in, the presence of many ships in the waters are, for Singapore, a lovelier sight than the empty open waters of Phuket, Seychelles, Maldives, etc.
Ken, if you do visit Singapore again, try visiting our rustic Pulau Ubin which is located on the north eastern side of mainland Singapore. You will love it.
Last time I was there, there were toucans, I wonder if there are still any
The beaches on the smaller islands like Lazarus Island and St John's Island are nicer and more secluded without fish and chips and 7 Elevens. Also, all public beaches in Singapore have free showering facilities and toilets built and maintained by the government.
Many ships are there to resupply and refuel. They anchor off the coast and wait for smaller supply ships and bunker boats to service them. Other ships are waiting for their turn to dock and load/unload at the port terminals
Hello Ken, for some time I follow your channel and videos. Really great! Next week I also come to Singapore for the first time. Me and my wife then make a roundtrip also to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. It is nice to meet these beautiful countries and people! We hope to enjoy it as much as you do. Keep going on!
Welcome to my country Singapore. Hope you enjoy your stay here and have fun exploring the rest of Asia. I can assure you the sights and sounds of Asia will be definitely different from where you are coming from. That is what holidays are all about.
Hi Ken. Loved your Singapore/Sentosa video. I went to Sentosa with my daughter in 2010 and is was nowhere near how it is these days. There was hardly anything there - just a restaurant which was fabulous and the beaches. I don't think there was the bridge either - we had to get the train across. The fish and chips you had looked amazing! That coating on the fish looked awesome. Not like most places here in Australia where they put batter on the fish for fish and chips. I would have loved to eat that fish and chips that you had, especially with the tartare sauce too. Love that. Terrific video. Thanks. x
Thank you🙏😊
Buy a large haddock. Spineless. First flour, THEN egg and then panco bread crumbs. Fry at 180 degrees. Panco bread crumbs are available in large supermarkets.
Glad that you love my country so far! Cheers!
Didnt know you are afraid of heights. You do look like a luftwaffe pilot though!
The camera angles alone made me tremble just by watching. Props to you for staying up there, my nerves would've forced me to jump off ..
There are more than 1000 vessels in Singapore port at any one time, with a ships moving in and out of the port every two to three minutes.
Singapore has many Nature parks too..Visit some.of them.
Fish n Chips does look quite good actually ! Commenting from the UK!
I love your channel very much. Great and interesting content. Thank you Ken.👍👍👍😍😍😍
hi ken, just saying i enjoy your content and love your bubbly and optimistic personality! looking forward to more videos 🔥❤ love from singapore 🇸🇬❤️
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬..looks like you enjoy be here
I’m visiting Singapore later on the summer, can’t wait to see it all. Thanks for sharing!
Brit who has been on Singapore 12 years. I take my kids to the beach quite often when it’s to wet season. It takes maybe 40 minutes on public transport to get there door to beach, and costs maybe 10 bucks.
Plenty left over to enjoy a few beers and food. There are some nice beach side bars and beach clubs just a short walk from this beach
I'm glad you love our country. Hope you visit our country again in the future 😊
Definitely 😊
@@KenAbroad Wanna know more about our country, do visit our museums 😊
Hello ken!
Incase you wondering about the ships u seen at sentosa. Singapore is the largest and busiest port for transhipment hub in the world. Anyway enjoy watching all your videos! Keep it up.
I haven't been to Sentosa for quite a long time even before covid. That small chain of little floats at the end are to prevent swimming over and safely purpose. Willkommen in Singapur
Ken, you should definitely go to Jurong East and visit JEM or Westgate.
You can also visit Changi Airport
Hi Hi Ken, FYI, Sentosa is not what it look like now back in the 80s. SG did a very good job and making Sentosa a nice holiday destination now. Back then SG "bought" what ever sand & rocks Malaysia & Indonesia willing to sell (legal or i**egally) to reclaim their land to what it is now (Not only in Sentosa but along the coastal & south to a "bigger" country. Sentosa back in 80s is unlike now without the white sand & hard labours support from its neighbouring countries. Have a nice time & enjoy your SG trip!
Yes, fish and chips are from the uk.... great to see you in Singapore... I was skydiving at ifly with my son a few weeks ago...
Keep up the the great work mate.
Andy
Thanks for watching Andy 🙏
Nice to see this! Havent been to Sentosa since i was a kid!
Fish and chips is very British.Tartar sauce is a traditional condiment.Kudos on confronting your fear of heights & handling the python.
Love Sentosa island - was a long time ago so I am sure it has expanded !
Singapore has it all!! Beautiful beaches, nature hikes, heritage old town, the modern city, awesome food and friendly people!
Love Singapore. I'll be looking forward to your upcoming videos of Indonesia and hopefully you can visit places like Java, Sumatra, etc. Keep it up
It has been a while since i last visited Sentosa island.... and yes, been there before... but i kinda miss Fort Siloso, now that you mentioned it.... Still hope you having a blast in Singapore, Ken... Cheers mate.
Thanks, I do 💪😊
You are Amazing! You are taking all the challenge! I can feel the height is quite scary!
lovely beach there, enjoyed our swim at Palawan beach too :-). Have fun there :-)
As someone from the uk, it's not a bad attempt at fish and chips. We wouldn't use breadcrumbs though, rather a thick batter. The chips look great. And the sauce looks like tartar sauce.
hi Ken, nice to see you here in Sg.. have great stay..❤❤
Thanks a lot 🙏
Nice vlog Ken. The high rise tower is kind of scary to go 😅.. The beach are so beautiful ❤
Loved the beach 😊
Scary
That looks quality fish & chips with tartar sauce , nice with mushy peas
hahaha I can see you are literally shaking! 😂😂💗💗
I think that line in the distance from the beach is safety line for swimmers and not the border.
Hi Ken, if you're coming back to Singapore, try can come back in Jun/Jul. You may catch a glipse of our National Day Parade Rehersals. I think that would be an experience.
Places to visit in Singapore:
1. Universal Studios Singapore - a bit expensive
2. Singapore Zoo / River Safari
3. Gardens by the Bay
4. Jewel
5. Rail corridor (walking trail)
Those you mentioned are tourists spots . One should explore the nooks & corners of this tiny island which I call home . Its safe to walk around even at 3 in the morning.
I’m not surprised you always enjoying what you eat, almost ❤….
omg ken holding a snake!! that is something new hahaha im a local and have no idea they have a booth to take pics with the snakes here.
Omg.... i think the LAST thing you wanna say when holding a snake is that you went to eat a snake.. man. .. i laughed so hard.. good video..!!!
😆
amazing vlog! i really enjoyed it :))
3 nautical miles and 12 nm for territorial sea boundaries (UNCLOS) that looks like a net border maybe for sharks? The ships are just at anchorage awaiting their slot at the port for loading and /or unloading
Btw...we, as Subscribers here in Wales and from England we can tell you that the fish and chips is very British and your meal looked very tasty. I'm not a big fan of tartar sauce myself but the fish looked very nice 👌
malt vinegar instead?
Me and husband love tartar sauce and Japanese mayo
Trmksh bossku! #tiadamasalah ! Di Melaka ada menara berputar!
I really enjoyed watching your video and the fish and chips made me drool !!!! I really enjoyed visiting Palawan beach too as the sand was very clean and evening time there is very tranquil and beautiful.❤
Im new to your channel and I really like ur video content🎉. Keep doing more awesome videos
Welcome to the channel 🙏
Sentosa is close to Kepple Shipyard, soon the shipyard will be move to other place no more container can be seen soon
Hi Ken…wen u going to Geylang Serai Hawker Centre??? We want to see you there!!
Palawan (pahlawan) means Warrior in Malay. The so-called border is to prevent vessels or bigger/dangerous fishes to enter the water near the beach. Thanks to the geographical location, Sentosa & Singapore is surrounded by very deep open sea. Hence, ideal for vessels to sail & anchor.
Anything beyond that border is not safe for swimming as the seabed is very deep and plunges deep down like an undersea cliff. Which explains why those big ships are able to dock there.
Sentosa was inhabited by sea pirates until they were stopped by the British using steamships. The British turned the island into a fort. During world war 2, many civilians were shot and pushed into the sea off the island by the Japanese army. Their remains were washed ashore and discovered over the years. Human trafficking victims were also disposed off there. The island was originally called Pulau Blakang Mati (Back Death Island in the Malay language).
Singapore the Best!
hello, you are lucky to go to Singapore. However, I am British and when I was young I had some friends who all came to the U.K. from Singapore. I am not sure what year, but probably in 1960.'s but I am not sure what year.... Anyway, I met my ex-wife when I had taken a holiday in 1984 in Seychelles and she came to the UK and we got married and had a son age 37. So this year I decided to take a holiday in Seychelles before I got more ill health; so I booked a holiday via LHR on an Airbus A380 to DBX and then on a much poorer quality plane (Boeing 777 plane ) In bad turbulence the &&& was not as good as A380 in comfort
I do not not know why so many people think the Boeing planes are better than Airbus.
Well, that is most of my comments for now, cheers.
Fab video , going to Singapore next month , added to things to do ❤
1. Singapore has one of the busiest port in the world as it is along a shipping trade route.
2. Ships there are in Anchorage, in singapore waters, waiting to enter the ports or to refuel / resupply.
3. Singapore is an island, so you can find beaches all along the perimeter of the island. The longest is the east coast park beaches.
4. You can literally walk/cycle to the airport just by following the park connectors along the beach coast line.
You bought my drink of choice, 100 Plus - my fav
Well… maybe as a tourist you will think of comparing costs to the whole region, comparing it to Philippines, Malaysia, nearby countries… but it’s not a fair comparison.
Income and quality of living in Singapore is 3-5x higher here, so salaries, properties, everything cost more obviously. You get a higher quality in standards and security too. It’s a different world… sometimes it’s almost rude to compare Singapore to developing countries.
Ken. Try to go to Bintan for a day or over night visit. Interesting. Beaches are clean there
Tiger beer with otah = Yumz
Amazing Singapore❤❤❤
Locals here will say , Singapore is great for tourist. That's all. Haha. Welcome to Singapore
Pahlawan is a Malay word for warrior.
