    Old Airport Road Hawker Center was AMAZING! Thanks for the recommendations! Question: What is your FAVORITE Hawker Center in Singapore and WHY?

    Mike, your video series on the food in Singapore is probably the most LEGIT series of videos I've seen. The way you describe the food, the aroma, the texture, the fragrance, and the flavour. You get it! You most definitely get it! I mean... I've seen videos from big names come down here to taste our food, like Anthony Bourdain and Gordan Ramsay. They showcased our food and sang them praises, but you... you just GET IT!
    I only wish I had followed you on your other social media, I didn't realise you came down here! Also, you really managed to cover almost all the bases! From Bak Kut Teh to Briyani to Chicken rice. You definitely did all the homework, and were rewarded with some of the best dishes we have to offer the world!
    Love from Singapore!

    your question as to why the Hokkien Prawn Mee is so delicious? The secret lies in the broth which its been cooked... all the fresh prawn heads are broiled together with pork bones and some shops do place dried cuttlefish for the extra kick... so when the stir fry the noodles on high heat they will add in the broth too thereby enhancing the flavours and when the noodles is about done they will cover it with a huge bamboo pan cover to allow it to simmer for like couple of minutes so that noodles will soak up all the broth and give u that awesome umamai flavour... But there are better stalls around depending whether u prefer drier or wetter versions of it...

      I don't think that Blurb claimed that sugar cane originated from Singapore? In any case Singapore being an immigrant country has influences from everywhere. It's just that certain food have been given their own Singaporean "flavours". So you see the Singaporean hainanese chicken rice is pretty different from those in China.

The flavour is from the huge pot of prawn and pork rib broth boiled for hours. Did u spy the cook? He wears a pair of goggles cos his eyesight is affected by all those years of working in front of a huge wok.

    Hey Mike, just wanna say that I really respect you as a fellow Foodie. A lot of these great stalls that you went to usually involve long waiting times. Only someone who really loves food would make the sacrifice! I'm afraid when I'm hungry I want food fast, I don't really have the commitment to queue for an hour xD and to travel from one end of Singapore to the other just to visit the best stalls... well, I'm sure you'd say it was worth it!

    In Singapore, try everything! It's a city-country of world-cuisine. It's practically a melting pot of sorts for everything! In Singapore, we don't lay claim to the invention of food, we simply glorified the food we eat! There's no such thing as "indigenous to" in Singapore. If we like a certain food from a certain country or place, we like it. And we will do anything to bring that particular food to our shores. Because in Singapore, which has no natural resources, we adapt. Heck, if the Martians have good food, they are welcome to bring us the food! We try everything! From Wolfgang Puck to Woodlands; from thousand-dollors Lafite to $3 Laksa. We try everyting. and all are welcome to Singapore to try everything! We even have vending machines that coughed out cooked gourmet and local food. Try it! We have instant mash potato at our convenience stores. Try it!

    The fried noodles you had at the end is commonly known as "hokkien mee". And I totally agree. It looks so unassuming but is absolutely spectacular. My favourite dish as well!

    As a Singaporean I did not realise how delicious the food here was until foreigners started showering praises upon food that to me only tasted "mediocre". Really eye-opening experience for me to appreciate the quality of food served here. Thanks for another video Mike!

    You described everything I felt about hokkien mee since young. People always ask me what's the best thing to eat in Singapore, or what's my favourite hawker food. My answer has always been HOKKIEN MEE. So thank you, for describing what I feel about this amazing dish, and for introducing Singapore to the world :)
    PS: You're one of the rare food vloggers that don't make Singaporeans cringe.
    PPS: Now I feel like going to Old Airport Rd Hawker.
