    I was visiting with my partner a few years ago and a stranger noticed we were googling to navigate and he, without hesitation or our asking, became our ‘tour guide’ and lead us where we wanted to go, even tho it was out of his way. Singaporeans are an amazingly nice bunch

    Hi Myer, you can find mutton/chicken/fish briyani rice at local coffeshop or hawker center for about $8, and one cup of local coffee for less than $1.50. You ate at a Peranakan restaurant, surely more expensive. 😅

    Welcome to Singapore :D One reason for the cleanliness is there is no chewing gum hahahaha! That was the main reason for the gum law. Back in those days people will stick the gum everywhere even in between the train doors, creating nuisance, causing train delay etc. Jaywalking is also controversial especially there is a traffic light like nearby and you jaywalk and unluckily caught. It is mainly for the safety and orderliness of the country. Most laws are just common sense and act as a deterrence. It works for Singapore :D
    You are walking pass rows of private landed properties which cost millions and only certain percentage of people can afford. Majority of locals (80%) live in public housing estates.
    You can get local coffee (kopi) at neighbourhood coffee shops or local hawker centres. Local coffee shops are typically below or near local housing estates which consists of many different food stalls. The blue colour in the rice is from blue pea flower - natural.

  • @ndrhskndr3973
    @ndrhskndr3973 День назад +10

    Try going to other areas. Geylang has lots more halal food. You can also go to other areas in Singapore. Singapore is famous for Chicken Rice and Laksa. There is also satay. If you go to Arab Street, it is best known for their murtabak. You can get it from a place called Zamzam or Victory.

  • @junemagdalenetan1213

    You’d actually walked past so many coffee shops that were selling local coffee and food.
    Your rendang rice was probably expensive because it was almost restaurant condition.
    Hope you’re loving your time in Singapore.
    If you’re interested in local cuisines, so try Holy Crab.

    Also there is actually trains that go to Katong Area. It’s the Thomson East Coast Line btw. Unfortunately those stations that link you easily to the airport are still building but you can still hop around with it once you are there. Marine Parade station is your stop. So you can use that to branch around during your stay. Google Maps is your friend as well. Enjoy your time! :D

    Welcome to Singapore!
    Where the vortex is, it's a shopping centre- JEWEL. It's linked to all the terminals of Changi Airport by the shuttle trains or bus.
    And we're a FINE(as in good) city🤭
    We're a multiracial society so English is our official working language.
    We've an English-based bilingual education system. Students are taught subject-matter curriculum with English as the medium of instruction, while the official mother tongue of each student - Mandarin Chinese for Chinese, Malay for Malays and Tamil for South Indians - is taught as a second language.

  • @TeguhNugroho90
    @TeguhNugroho90 7 часов назад +1

    Well, Myer, "asking a local" is not always a better option, specifically in a place like Singapore. It is the most developed country in Southeast Asia. Simply open your Google Maps, and it will tell you the exact route you need to take. Train or bus, how many stops, etc. I can see from those ladies at the airports, they're not in their best mood to answer your question.
    I go to Singapore frequently and the people are actually nice and helpful, but you can't just asking people randomly like you had in Indonesia or Thailand. I got scolded when I asked a shopkeeper and a restaurant staff for the first time for a route (while it's common in Indonesia)
    Enjoy Singapore!

    Welcome to Singapore Myer… if you still at Katong Area, walk to Marine Parade… there’s a hawker Center there and a mall called Parkway Parade… you can also take a train there to Maxwell market for more food at the hawker Center, walk around Chinatown or a train to Gardens by the Bay for another walk… enjoy!
    Btw, the other mall is called “I one two Katong” not “I twelve Katong” 🤭 oh I forgot to add Chicken Rice at Katong Shopping Center 😉 They closed on Mondays so ya … enjoy Singapore 😊

    The dish you ate is Nasi Lemak.....very popular dish in Singapore and Malaysia, which you can find in many hawker centres around Singapore. The blue colored coconut-infused and pandan leaf fragrant rice is called Butterfly blue pea flowers rice. The color comes from the blue pea flower extract. Fyi, not all nasi lemak has that blue pea flower colored rice, but they are all coconut-infused with pandan leaf fragrance. Definitely one of my all time favorite dish in Singapore 😋

    Hi welcome to Singapore. Myer you have to try the local coffee~ Get them from the `local coffee shops`, not bistro or coffee outlets. These are not gourmet coffee but have strong and intense aromas. Katong Road (the same stretch as your hotel) has a lot of delicious local food. Ask the hotel staffs or any locals for recommendations.
    Regarding foreigners buying properties in Singpore, it is unfortunately not as easy as your agent friend said. You may have researched and know more than 80% of Singaporeans lived in these government built flats called the HDB (these are apartments of different sizes, most re beautiful and spacious), as these are eventually government owned, only locals and PRs are allow to purchase them. Those private houses which you saw which are landed (with gardens and such) are not available for foreigners as well, as foreigners are not allow to own Singpore land. The only exceptions are the houses in Sentosa which basically cost a bomb. Whats left are the condominiums, these are private owned apartments, which are open to foreigners, they are of cos, not cheap as well. Those who are interested can contact a local property agency and they can set them up for the sales.

    Welcome to Singapore Myer..
    If you are spending more days here in Singapore, then you should consider those less touristy places and activities.
    You can head to the PEAK- it's the tallest government housing in Singapore. And you can pay just a bit of money to take the lift all the way up to the rooftops garden to enjoy the view.
    Go for a little walk at Henderson wave. You might enjoy the design of the bridge.
    Go for a cycle around marina bay and head towards east coast park.
    Go to sungei buloh wetland.
    Come over to the west to Chinese garden and lakeside area.
    Do head down to Chinatown hawker centre to try all kinds of local food.. If you're not a Muslim, you can try the famous turtle soup at aljunied area. You can also try the famous mutton soup at Pasir panjang hawker centre. You can Google all that I have recommended.

You can try cheaper foods at hawker centres around $9-$12.. They are clean. Most people eat there. Foods at restaurants and eateries are more expensive around $15 and above.

    Best by bus 36 to Parkway Shopping Mail - from there, it's a stroll to Katong.
    Cost of bus ticket about US$1.00
    You took the MRT to Pasir Ris - that's the opposite direction to Katong.
