3 Days in Singapore on a Budget

[@cqf30]

For a Singaporean, I strangely get recommended a lot of tourists in Singapore videos and I do watch them. This is by far one of the best I have seen. It is offbeat and well-researched.

The story-telling, and the editing, is very good. And the right volume for the background music...

[@Coco762011]

Josh and Lisa, the both of you should get an award for your travel video !! To many foreigners (especially the Europeans) and locals, Singapore seem sterile and expensive. But your travel blog video presents so much of the life, taste, local colour and the affordability of the Singapore that few know it to be. Thank you!

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thank you for the kind words :) we always love visiting Singapore, such a cool, futuristic, green (and tasty) place

[@jennifermanipis9210]

Lisa & Josh. Is it ok to ask you guys which hotel did you stay? We are planning to visit Singapore in a budget vacation.

[@LisaAndJosh]

@@jennifermanipis9210 we stayed in an Ibis budget hotel, a link to it should be in the description :)

[@rpnuku]

I watched your New Zealand trip (I am Maori from New Zealand) and I thought it was really well done. So I watched your Vietnam trip (I spent a year there during the war) and again I thought it was great, I've been back twice. Now watching Singapore as I have spent 4 years in Singapore and 2 years in Malaysia. I know I will watch many more of your travels as I have also been to many other countries. I decided to write here because I heard Lisa say Chicken Feet was her favourite - I have never heard anyone say that, Chicken Feet is my favourite too.....

[@desireones]

Being a local, this would be the perfect itinerary that I would recommend to a foreign friend. Kudos to you for doing your research - things like cycling from MBS - Airport and Lazarus Island and my favourite hawker centre ‘old airport road’ is not something that is commonly featured in Singapore travel vlogs. This deserves to be picked up by the tourism board for promotional purposes. Also, mayb next time try birds paradise ie our new and revamped bird park. It’s something that is not featured a lot by foreigners yet.

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thank you! We loved cycling and old airport road is our favorite hawker center! ☺️ will definitely check that out next time!

[@SylvSG]

Great video! This is why "Singapore is the most expensive city in the world" is only partially true, because the only truly expensive things are 1. housing and 2. vehicles (both obviously due to land scarcity issue). Everything else is 100% affordable and this video just proves that you can't just trust everything you see online :)

[@LisaAndJosh]

The is great insight! Thank you :)

[@wrxsti22b]

@@LisaAndJosh Yes, there are 'not so well to do' ppl here as well, even homeless ppl, they do get by, if everything is truly very very expensive, then they cannot survive / live...

[@AmbientWalking]

I'm Singaporean and I travel a lot for work. I find that it's always possible to live simply in Singapore and not spend so much money. Glad you enjoyed being in Singapore. You're always welcome here.

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@_rasis]

I'm from Singapore and Josh really nailed it about our expectations of airports 🤣. Even before they added that hugeeee mall, I really got a huge surprise when we travel and saw how other airports actually looked like 😅. And yes, hawker center food.... it's really the place to try local food.

[@geaniekim3731]

Wow I genuinely loved this episode! Too many fav moments....loved the meal choices, Josh running like the happiest kid towards ice-cream man, Lisa zooming on the train door while Josh teased her for taking endless shots of the empty train, lol! Most importantly the sincerity that oozes from your faces while enjoying the simple things that make you happy. The ending narration sums up why I subscribed in the first place.

[@irisyeo07]

Thank you for loving my home country so much! I know it’s not your first time in Singapore, but I’m grateful to be reminded that Singapore is a place I call home and proud to be a Singaporean, as we have a lot to be thankful for on this small little island. 🥰🥰🥰

[@thinkpadx60]

This was an amazing video of my city. I have been living in Hong Kong in recent years and when I go back to Singapore I am amazed how much there is to see and do in that little island. You have showcased the city very well.

[@rahimresad7045]

I think you are the second or third travel vlogger to cycle to East Coast and change airports and the first travel blogger to jump on a boat to the southern island. Well done!❤

[@lisabouchard584]

This has to be the absolute best video on Singapore I have ever seen!!! Thank you so very much!!!❤ love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@LisaAndJosh]

wow, thank you!! :)

[@lisabouchard584]

We’re planning on returning to Southeast Asia in 2024 and I always thought Singapore was out of reach! With your video , it looks definitely doable!!

[@havechopstickswilltravel2990]

Singapore added to my list. You guys sure know how to stretch your days and dollars at a destination. I love it. Thank you.

[@azrinaz8993]

This is really well presented and interesting tour of Singapore, Lisa and Josh. Hope you had a great stay. Next round, if you guys ever visit again, you have to try out more the nature/forest reserves, places we have. Best of All, they are all free to enter.. - Treetop walk (Thomson Nature Park) - Sungai Buloh Wetland Nature Reserves (Migratory bird lookout / crocodile) - Bukit Timah Hill Nature Reserve (Highest Point on Singapore) - Pulau Ubin (Great for cycling & Mangrove of Chek Jawa)

[@recycledpphrases]

Love how you show a different side of Singapore to the world, as a local, you’re doing a much better job than us singaporeans at showing off what Singapore has to offer ❤

[@tiinah-b2326]

Hands down my favourite Singapore video of all those I follow on KZbin that have visited there. It so reminded me of the simpler times when we lived there in the mid to late ‘90’s. We lived by the East Coast parkway and used the cycle or pathways there every weekend with the kids, and ate at the Hawker centres. Great memories.

[@vincentlim1976]

I hope our gov show this video to all the citizens to appreciate how wonderful our country really is. people are just taking things for granted nowadays and complain way too much

[@sgmei]

for the first time i felt that 47 minutes went past so fast. thanks for loving our place! and kudos on the trip to St John's! i believe not even some locals have went there before lol.

[@ThatForeignBloke]

Great video once again. Despite its reputation for being expensive, it was good to see that Singapore can actually be budget friendly 👍👍

[@onetootre]

Great F'in episode! It's a simple as that! I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. I can't believe I'm saying this, but to watch a 47 minute episode, and not wanting it to end! Wow!

[@IreneClare]

Hallo Lisa & Josh, I’m from Singapore and your video is by far the best I have watched. Most of us travel on a budget - the rich won’t need recommendations as they can afford whatever they wanted. We love your videos and we can relate to the things you go through. And Josh is funny, love his sense of humour 👍🏻♥️

[@suecathcart4687]

Your videos just keep on getting better - they are always enjoyable BUT this one was outstanding - I actually felt I was there with you - thanks so much xxx

[@TashiDikki]

Hi guys, I am a Singaporean and I used to worked at Geylang as our warehouse is located there. I used to walk home from my warehouse about 3 or 4 am. That place is still considered safe. Unless you bumped in drunkers who walking around staring at girls. Just be careful when you are alone.

[@Effpy89]

There’s a 24hr spa called Gspa just down the street across the hotel you’re staying at. I’d recommend anyone that is on a layover, have time to spare to relax and chill. It’s about $70 for a 24hr access, with free flow food, hot and cold pool to soak in, a steam room and sauna and sleep chairs too. Sharing cause I thought it’s good deal.

[@lesliebrown1517]

I love that bike ride to the airport, especially the Jurassic section. I'm planning trip to Singapore and Hong Kong next year and your videos are very helpful. With all of the walking/biking, I can see why food is always on your minds. 😊

[@joeteo6536]

It's great to see that you guys went off the usual touristy spots, like visiting another island, cycling to the airport via the very scenic East Coast Park. If you do come back again, do visit the zoo and the newly opened bird park, both are near to each other, though they will require a day for each park.

[@zackybakers]

Love watching tourists visiting and praising Singapore. But this video somehow just hits different. Just so genuine and heartfelt. Probably my favourite one out of the many I've seen. P.s I've been in Singapore for 33 years and I've yet to visit some of the places you did 😂

[@sojourner35]

One of the best KZbin videos on holiday travel in Singapore! Glad you enjoyed your time on the little red dot 😊

[@thezenyen]

Most heartfelt, in depth and genuine video i have ever seen any KZbinr make of my home, Singapore. Thank you. Please come again

[@teongsengquek9695]

This is by far the best traveling video featuring Singapore.

[@isaiahjoshc]

I'm Singaporean and have seen quite a number of travelogues of our little red dot, and this is one of the best! I love that you feature our public transport system and hawker food. You missed out on the residential neighborhoods, though, so if you ever return. I hope you do venture into them and experience more of the local life.

[@Hiccup_and_Honey]

Best Singapore Video. Ever. Such a beautiful couple! Informative video with so much personality shining through 😊 Thanks so much!

[@cktan2739]

A well shot video about Singapore! Well done! Going to the Hort Park, St John's Island and cycling from Gardens by the Bay to Changi Airport are great introduction to the wonderful greenery and park connectors in Singapore.

[@KatJade269]

I watched many travel/food videos and really enjoyed yours. You showed that it didn’t have to cost too much to enjoy good food. Convenient public transport and another side (non city area) of Singapore to enjoy your holiday here. Thank you.

[@Andrew-sb4mf]

Awesome to watch you two enjoy life and bring us along for the ride.

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thank you so much :)

[@chengjm7696]

Josh and Lisa, many thanks for this awesome video of my country. I didn’t know one can cycle to the airport! And the best part is you gave a breakdown of your daily expenses here which may serve as a useful guide to others!

[@geniegal78]

There is a baby merlion somewhere behind that big one, you missed that 😅 Really love your vlog where you add lots of local touches, local hawker food, non-tourists spots where locals hang out, e.g. Henderwaves, the offshore islands... I truly encourage tourists in SG to do that 😊 Thanks Josh for appreciating the tray return system in the hawker centres. 👍🏻🙏🏻 Hope you guys will come again 😉

[@ragsoh]

Hi Lisa and Josh. Welcome back to sunny Singapore. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Good on you.

[@jejejeje6179]

[@matthew1333]

This video is really unique and gives a different kind of exploration idea around this small nation. Lovely couple and a really cool way of introducing your adventure in Singapore. Hope you enjoy the time there and keep up the good work on your videos.

[@utube1412]

That was awesome. I've been to Singapore many times, but with you guys it was a whole new adventure.

[@ladybuggger]

Ok, you got an audible laugh out of me when Josh flung his shoes at his head at 39:56 That looked like a great trip! I'm jealous of all the delicious foods

[@simplyme3306]

nicely video overall that most tourists don't get or go. Just FYI on the dry noodles dish you ordered at around 12:53...Erm it is a dry noodles dish with it's own sauce at the bottom you just need to mix it in. The soup is provided at the side to drink on it's own not to be poured into the noodles. The flavours would be totally off as then the sauce/gravy mixed in the noodles were being diluted by the soup. If you want soup version you will need to order noodles in soup instead. (that was one "mistake" I've seen a few western tourists made, I wonder why?).

Below the Budda Tooth temple in Chinatown, there's actually a food court that serves only vegetarian food. Plus if u visit other temples in Singapore like the one at Bright Hill, they will provide FOC vegetarian meals at their mess hall on special occasions (like vesak day, tomb sweeping period etc)

[@makeyourlifeeasier5794]

Great, well-done video. Totally agree about the Hawker centers for food. I went there every day also when in Singapore...but I did miss that peppermint ice cream guy!!

Dear Lisa and Josh, welcome to Singapore. You guys surely did your research of places worth to visit in Singapore, well done. Next time you can visit Singapore heartland neighbourhood.

[@francinevanzanten8368]

Great video, way better than all those typical tourist videos that just copy each other. You've covered all the spots I would recommend to friends. And great choices of food too, really shows the diversity there is and that does need to be expensive at all.

[@Chungsteven1]

This is the best video . Real Singapore , thank u 👍🏻

[@ladyofhalos]

Omg. This is an amazing itinerary. Night biking / night cycling down east coast park / east coast beach is an activity i used to do with my friends when i was a student. (It's cool, safe and pleasant at night!). There are reservoirs and nature parks and "park connectors" - new ones are being opened constantly. On weekends, i cycle with my dad in the park connector near my house - it follows the MRT line on the east west line. For island hopping, you'd get to see a glimpse of the singapore that our parents grew up in if you went to Pulau Ubin. Lazarus and St John Island are really no-mans land hahaha. What a lovely video! I'm genuinely impressed. Glad you enjoyed this country!

[@cloudtan4463]

Hii Lisa and Josh just a reminder when u come Singapore again is that drinking and eating is not allowed in the train station, in the train itself and in buses

[@crowiaa]

Having lived in Singapore for over 20 years, this is the most interesting Singapore travel vlog I've come across! You've done your research well and went on the less trodden path. I've never even experienced St John's island and the Jurassic Mile! Time for me to get out more haha

[@go-fish-3-5-9-61]

Oh my, that hawker center on the way to the airport was very nice. Gotta have me some Martabak when I get back there. btw, I saw a video on YT about the employee dining food center at Changi that everyone is welcome to.

Hawker is a true Singapore culture that you need to experience. You can google and find some of the great hawker center loved by local Singaporean for generation.
