这个那个 (The Caifan Song) | The Ann & Ben Show Ep 3

[@AnnetteLeeMusic]

For all our overseas friends who haven't had Caifan before: 菜饭 Caifan, also known as 'Economic Rice' or 'Mixed Rice', is a common meal to have in hawker centres in Singapore. It allows you to choose a variety of dishes to accompany a plate of plain rice. There is no menu as the dishes change daily, so you simply point at whatever dishes we want when ordering, and the Caifan stall owners aka Uncle or Auntie, will add it onto your plate for you.

[@mvincentong]

Would love to see a Ma La Xiang Guo version 😂

[@dare2liv_nlove]

And in Malaysia too... :)

[@nigel155]

YOU ALL REALLY NAILED EVERY SINGLE ELEMENT OF MANDO POP even down to the last voice effect. love ittttttt!! So much value add you all bring

the fact that i dont see any fish in this MV makes me feel at ease.

Fyi only rich ppl like jj lin will eat fish at cai fan... 🤣

That rhyming of “aunty” with “问题” and “anxiety” AND keeping a straight face while singing that 💯💯💯

[@m3g4fl4r3]

There are things that we can learn from this song to avoid caifan anxiety: 1. Don’t daydream or play with your phone while queuing 2. Start to keep a lookout of the dishes when you are the 3rd person in queue. (2nd will be too late because sometimes the cook will come out to serve as well and you will still be caught off guard) 3.Everyone is equal in the eyes of aunties and uncles. Do not get yourself enchanted and lose track of your order.

[@AnnetteLeeMusic]

wow very useful tips thank you

True indeed. In fact I often alr screened the dishes before I go q. So I Alr have my plan a n b when it’s my turn. But. It is stressful really with the, 来，要什么。还有？ 还有？ and the ppl behind you giving the noticeable aura telling you to speed up. Speed up. Speed up. Everytime I got my caifan in my hand, I breathe a sign of relief.

[@angeltseng9386]

第一次在廣播聽到還以為是情歌，後來在KZbin看到MV,真的是嚇到。真的是太有才了。能夠把點菜飯寫成一首歌而且這麼好聽。旋律很catchy歌詞也很有意思。👍

Literally don’t know anyone else who would song in an amphitheatre about cai fan. Literally. Please more

[@talamioros]

Not just any amphiteatre, this is Esplanade concert hall...

[@FriendlyPasserby13]

First time the English and Chinese languages blended so well in a song. Truly a good reflection of the environment we grew up in - a rich blend of English, Singlish and Chinese!! Hope you rise to international fame one day :')

[@mave86rick]

this is sensational, such talent and humour, cant ask for more. You glorified our local food and language culture with a pop song that singaporean can be so proud of. amazing work here , this song is so good its chart deserving, its a different level of artistry.

Just stumbled upon this today... rewatched on replay for like 10-12 times. So funny. So creative (lyrics!). So relatable. So uniquely Singapore. So epic lah (the Liu Lian theatre featured in the mtv). Thank you sooo much guys - for making this gem of a tribute to our beloved cai png: PRICELESS 😊 I'd be thrilled for JJ Lin + Stepfanie Sun to cover this local-produced song during one of our future NDPs!

This song has singlehandedly increased the sales of 菜飯 islandwide

[@lols486]

I once ate cai fan for a whole month straight at my workplace cause it had the fastest queue. One day the uncle asked me why I kept coming back to eat the same thing. I told him it was cause I liked their cooking the best. From then on he gave me way more food than my $2.70 was worth 😄 and could even remember my order each time. Uncle u (and your sweet and sour pork) da best.

[@dianakoh1623]

This is really so good!! It wasn’t just a funny video for comedic purposes but I love how y’all incorporated the Singapore Cai Fan culture into theatre and performance, with a nice melody (that lowkey sounds like a JJ Lin song), and words that rhyme in both languages. It’s brilliant work showcasing local talent. Hope to see more of such content!

I think this is why they can film in the Esplanade. But that is probably about it. Anyway notice their Ep 1 also says "supported by", but Ep 2 only says "Special thanks to..." I suppose NAC does not want to be too closely associated with the subject matter in Ep 2. 😁
