24h In The Life of a Singaporean 🇸🇬

#singapore #singaporelife #singaporevlog
Aside from work, how is the daily life of a person living in Singapore? We will also have an HBD apartment tour. As a tourist, most of the things you will see in Singapore are the popular attractions like the Marina Bay Sands, The beautiful Gardens and the high class restaurants.
However, if you want to actually understand the Singaporean community, you need to be more attentive. Where does a local Singaporean live, where do they eat and hang out? We hope to answer a few of these questions, as we understood them as tourists for the first time in Singapore.
Very excited to see your opinions about this!

you managed to show the lives of the average singaporean like no tourist has ever done! I am so impressed. Most would show only the touristy spots and the lives of the crazy rich. And Michael, I love your accent...it reminds me of the Count in Sesame street. Childhood memories. If only u started to count...

Singapore is an amazing place. Can't wait to come back next month

[@MrCam70]

The price of the Car's permit is not standard. It is based on bidding system, and present estimated price is abt $60K . 😅

[@safrisaleh412]

80% of Singaporeans live in HDB Flats catered to the average Singapore 🇸🇬 citizen. Old school estate has opened space carpark, new BTO flats have multi-storey carpark. You guys are more of a local heartland type rather than a touristic type. This is what a typical Singaporean everyday lifestyle looks like. Learn the Singlish and you are completely a local 💝👍😁😁😁.

[@humanbeing8338]

The place where you can find vegetables, fruits, fish are market and where you can find food stalls are hawker center! But in recent years Singapore government had been building them side by side or incorporated them in one building! Where you are filming 'Telok Blangah' is one of the old estate.

[@jon8697]

Those with open space carpark usually the flat are more then 40 years. Now the new flat carpark its mostly underground or multistory with parks on top

[@SuccessforLifester]

Hor fun used to be my comfort food in the past. It is also very popular in old days as a supper food. I would eat it with green chilli. I would be unhappy if they ran out of it. It would happen at times late in evening

[@fisherguitar9071]

My respect to u guys for eating a very local common dish called Hor Fun( prononce like having fun )not advertised by tourist who only know and eat chicken rice.

[@DodoExplorers]

If the food is good I eat anything .... Michael here 😁

[@chankhuilau6820]

Not bad. Will be here a Long time? This places featured are quite far apart. One at Telok Blangah side and the other at Kampong Bahru, walking took you more than 40 minutes.

[@lpericteo]

Hor fun is rice noodles. A good cook will spread up the noodles more loosely. You will know when you are trying to separate them to eat. Chilly … don't do that Mike.

[@DodoExplorers]

[@nur_aryani]

Maybe the younger generation “DON’T COOK” at home…but my family certainly cooks 70% of the time. Hawker centres are a convenience for us to buy food on days when we don’t cook or to buy foods/dishes that we may not know to cook or too time consuming to cook.

Hi - is it still a requirement to use trace together app or token?

[@DodoExplorers]

Nope, no need for track app, not even at the border :) just use a mask indoors- unlike we did while filming 😅

[@raymondtan1977]

Owning a car in Singapore first of all u have to pay for the certificate of entitlement. That paper alone will set u back at 110k sgd for a car that’s above 1600cc and 80k n above for below 1600cc. Then we talk about the price of car, road tax and insurance etc. which can easily cost upward of 180k and above.

[@DodoExplorers]

That's insane! But I get it now, after visiting the country, the air is still fresh with less cars on the road 🙌

Yes that is an old school housing estate with open air carparks. In new estates, they would build multi storey carparks

[@lyhthegreat]

Bro, i see you on almost every video featuring Singapore.

[@SuccessforLifester]

@@lyhthegreat I think it is the YT algorithm. Also maybe I like to see how foreigners see Sg

[@leewn2319]

It’s great to see foreigners exploring our local way of life & our public housing estate. At the HDB flat it seems u missed a unique feature - the way rubbish are disposed! I’m the old mature estates, there’s a refuse chute within the unit’s kitchen. U open the hopper and throw your refuse. In new estates, the refuse chute is located outside the units at the common lift lobby area as a common refuse chute with hoppers at every floor.

[@DodoExplorers]

How, how could I miss that? Thank you for watching our video ❤️

[@leewn2319]

The refuse hopper is usually near the kitchen windows area. Most home owners conceal it together with their kitchen cabinets so that u don’t see it.

[@user-um8wi5ym4y]

Usually the refuse chute is under the kitchen sink.

[@DodoExplorers]

[@SuccessforLifester]

The flat you visited has been upgraded - the toilets and the drying racks outside. In old flats, there would be no drying racks, but just a set of like six brackets on the wall for you to insert six bamboo poles into it. Once in a very very blue moon, maids have fallen out of the window when doing the laundry.

[@user-FEFe]

Welcome to Singapore 🤗. You have stumbled upon one of the more 'secluded' hawker centre and market around.. if you happened to be still in the area, there's Telok Blangah Crescent and Telok Blangah Drive Food Centre, a wee bit more lively there. Enjoy your stay 🇷🇴 🤝 🇸🇬

You guys order big portion of foods. It’s like 3 to 4 people foods. Last year new laws came in where you need to clear your own plates after eating if not get a fine 😁

[@DodoExplorers]

Why am I not surprised by that fine... Nevertheless have no fear, Michael doesn't leave a plate with food on it (that's my philosophy on life) also it was the first time we got that kind of food soo yeah we figured it out after 🤷‍♂️😁

The estate you explored is a old estate and looks like Telok Blangah. Beef hor fun is one my favourite food. My favourite beef hor fun is at Mongkok Dim Sum in Geylang. The sauce is thicker and meat bigger but a bit more expensive. The permit to buy the car in Singapore is much more than $25k and it is a bidding process. For a medium size car 1600cc, now abut $68000 for the permit. So total car price about $130,000 now. Cars are ridiculously expensive in Singapore.

Hor Fun is very tasty, indeed! About the cars, yes, that's insane, haha

About your seafood lunch at the hawker centre, the bottle of brown/black liquid Michael is holding is light soya sauce. Usually we put some cut chilli into the small sauce plate then add some light soya sauce to it. That's how we create the dipping sauce for the ingredients from the seafood soup. Don't underestimate the chilli in Singapore, I don't even dare eat the chilli raw - Michael is very adventurous!

[@vim92]

Y'all are so cute. Welcome to Singapore. You should have gotten the nasi lemak instead of the hor fun honestly. Not everyone likes hor fun, but I haven't met a single person who doesn't like nasi lemak!

[@user-um8wi5ym4y]

The sun is so hot, it dries the clothes very quickly. Clothes dried under the sun naturally smells good. If it rains, you can hang it on the kitchen ceiling. No need for clothes dryer... save money, save energy and save the earth. Laundromats are not that popular unless you live in a rental unit.

Actually only 17% are used for residential purposes. And many Singaporeans cook at home. Probably not that much but still significant enough.

Oh, I thought Singaporeans don't necessarily cook at home because there is so much food everywhere :)

[@ignatiuschua5268]

How come only one of you knows how to hold the chopsticks? 😂 You don't pick up kway teow into a spoon. Rather, you use your chopsticks to push the kway teow into your spoon. Lower your head towards the plate. Quickly bring the spoon to your mouth. All done near the plate otherwise alot of excess kway teow will fall away.
