[@xseverohatredx]

the best part about mike chen's video's are the people's reaction while he's recording lol

[@jezza5276]

xSEVEROHATREDx agreed especially at 1:10 😂

[@Mylifewithatbi]

True 😂

[@Hosunlee89]

The more i watch him, the more I'm amazed at how much he can eat. Dude ate two plates of chicken and rice and went out to eat more. Legend.

[@cancanjaker1620]

That is exactly the way Singaporeans eat chicken rice. Chilli sauce over the rice, enough with the dipping, just pour it right over the whole thing.

[@duskie1993]

I eat chilli rice 😂

[@sincerely_rubya]

Just started watching your videos yesterday and I can't stop!! Absolutely love your food enthusiasm and your videos!! 😇😇☺️☺️

[@Aminnes]

[@casan0gal]

Hi Mike! I'm from Singapore and my Brother and I absolutely LOVE watching your videos! We always watch your video right away when it comes out! Hahaha that's just how much we love you. We see that you enjoy the chicken rice so much and decided to send you a Chicken Rice paste from Singapore - you can use it to make your own chicken rice in NYC! Look out for it!

[@Flippy-hl2we]

I love how you have so much love and compassion for food. Thank you for your videos. I've learned so much about different foods, and cultures from different countries. My favorite video is the one you did in New York with the hot pots. After watching it I just had to go find one in New Jersey. It was so good. Keep doing what you do!

[@pandalow]

Glad you love the food from Singapore! Makes me proud as a Singaporean when our foreign friends enjoy our local favorites. Please try Char Kway Teow (Stir fried noodles with dark soy sauce), fried carrot cakes (White and Dark), Nasi Lemak (Famous malay food in SEA, coconut rice with fried chicken wings and other condiments of your choice)

[@janewang4242]

As a Singaporean, your videos just make me love Singapore more. So proud

[@jfatsnorlax]

That banana's a pisang raja, which translated, literally means king banana. When slightly overripe, it becomes really soft and sweet.

[@wontondestructxn]

Singapore! About time. I've been waiting a couple years for this.

[@ThinkingPurple]

That fried banana you had Mike is no regular banana. It's a burro banana that is smaller, stubby and short shape than the average 🍌 . Because they are so soft, custard-like and sweat they are often used in Vietnamese desserts like saygo puddings, fried battered as is or sliced and fried into sweat chips. Not only found in Asian but in Mexico too! Please "like" this comment so he could see this! Thanks!

[@mochibuni]

I married into a Chinese family that lived in Vietnam, so I learned their Vietnamese influenced chicken rice. It's fun to see so many different versions of it!

[@FoodWOWyt]

So enjoyed this! Everything looked so good 🤤😊

[@bakingaero688]

have been waiting for this for so so long😄

[@alexen7871]

The only thing better than a mikey chen video is a strictly dumpling video.

[@fhmjbsxclkl]

Good to finally see you in Singapore

[@thefashiondisciple1674]

watching someone from a different culture enjoy our food as much as you do just gives me the most joy

[@Ginasno1]

Omg you have to figure out how to make this and teach us!! That chicken rice looks amazing!!

[@bobbymemeboy2392]

They all looking like "who's this weird guy talking to a camera"?

[@keithponchillia421]

Another great video Mike.

[@jinniestarcandy5261]

I really want to try that chicken rice, because by presentation alone it looks so plain, but Mikey really is enjoying it.

[@derpybin]

[@CS-pn4zj]

[@malfiozo]

[@nadiasyetoh9111]

[@cherchuhaikieu4328]

I LOVE Singapore! I haven’t been there for over a decade. I’m missing it so much watching this!

[@bethanygrimes8337]

I watch a lot of food videos. You’re my favorite, hands down!

[@markchang5285]

The fried banana is called Goreng Pisang (it's Malay), and it's a particular breed of banana native to South East Asia

[@RayrayTgh]

You have missed the tapioca cakes which sold out by noon. 🤤 is super soft and nice.

[@1990xyzxyz]

Thanks for the video! I love Singapore! Gotta revisit again one day!

[@jamilad3512]

[@danieltan2434]

YEAH MIKE FINALLY CAME!!! Well as you can see many Singaporeans have the bad habit of staring too long haha, we're definitely not used to seeing people vlog in hawker centres, let alone someone who looks like Jackie Chan😂 Hope you enjoy your stay Mike, there are so many spots for you to visit from food to culture!

[@MegaDaZ3]

You should definitely try Alexandra Village Food Centre && Old Changi Airport Rd hawker!!!

[@JustYohannes]

Love this channel. Supersaiyan Son Goku Vs Krillen? hmmm what about Jiren vs yamcha is it that different?

[@UltimateGamerCC]

dont know Jiren, but might as well be Yamcha vs Saibamen. XD how's that for a comparison? i'm sure Yamcha STILL hasnt lived that down... lol

[@YSFmemories]

forget jiren. It's like Monaka, Mr. Satan AND Mr. Popo teaming up against... emperor pilaf or something.

[@HGLTV777]

Afric Network LOL

[@JustYohannes]

ahahah i dont think he has ahahaah! jiren is in the new dragonball super, he is said to be stronger than the god of destructions in his universe. The arc now is the tournament of power where different universe fight so they wont be erased by zeno sama

[@JustYohannes]

ahahaah word, I liked pilaf forreal, one of my fav dbz movies.

[@Heyfen306]

Omg MIKE!!! I'm a Singaporean! I'm so happy you came here to try our local food!

[@momsterwong9088]

I was salivating throughout the whole video!! OMG! I need to go to Singapore

[@willyli7086]

Those oyster pancakes originated in Fuzhou, China. Grew up eating them, for sure the best street food.

[@lebijoudujour]

328 katong laksa, hill street bak chor mee, old airport road prawn noodles, char kuay teow from bendemeer market/ zion road, bak kut teh from tiong bahru -> from a true blue SIngaporean! YOU NEED TO TRY THESEEEE

[@octobergal]

Aye ItsMehPinkk same...

[@NakulA2730]

Umm... You okay?

[@RaymondChia_Silaqui]

Welcome to Singapore. BTW when it comes to Chicken Rice, everyone has their own favorite. You should have someone bring you to Geylang and eat. The 2nd unofficial Chinatown in Singapore.

[@tonymoly8739]

Raymond Chia ...What is good to eat in Geylang nowadays? Kindly share as I used to stay in that vicinity.

[@MM-zp4dz]

Geylang is good for chicken . . . of another kind.

[@tonymoly8739]

M&M 😂

[@RaymondChia_Silaqui]

Geylang the main thing that comes to mind are Claypot rice, Frog Legs Porridge and food from various parts of China. P.S. I am talking about food.

[@lunamistz5107]

Omg!!!! You are in Singapore!! I was talking to my parents about how I wish you come to Singapore to try the food here the other day!

[@JonathanLeeDY]

You're making me hungry near midnight but I can't stop watching... Welcome to Singapore!

[@agustin5855]

it's so hard to watch this while on diet.

[@Makasennn]

titin buawel ae I was literally thinking this seconds before reading your comment

[@iusegarageband1893]

[@fqiryryu]

It's more harder when you're fasting

[@js83]

I thought chicken and rice(small amount) is a common dish for dieting

[@Goddess521]

You’re the Jacky Chan of food bloggers 😂

[@Dropthatpickle]

I really enjoy your videos 😊

[@YuanQ]

omg the food! I've been wanting to go to Singapore so bad recently! I'm living through your videos haha

[@brelodge55]

The likely reason as to why the banana is so sweet, is that it could very well be a Gros Michel variety of banana. Much sweeter in flavour, unable to be gotten in North America. North America typically gets the Cavendish variety. Nowhere near as sweet or flavourful.

[@slayerplaysgenshin9842]

"Ssj Goku Vs Krillin." Now I like Mike even more hahah

[@1z2x3c4v5b]

I feel so happy Singapore food is being praised!! CHEERS FROM SINGAPORE!

[@Clawdeer-]

Glad you enjoyed yourself here in Singapore! 😄

[@shadowtheman1995]

Chicken Rice is amazing! I personally prefer Char Sui Rice, more fat and flavour, especially with the chilli sauce all over!

[@strictlydumpling]

I love all equally :-)

[@autumnrose9344]

Strictly Dumpling that guy at 6:19 taking pictures of you though....lol 😄

[@QwenHo]

you need to try char kway teow and hokkien mee

[@shadowtheman1995]

Owen Ho ive tried both, tasty! Im a rice guy and i love my nasi lemak

[@jacintawong3639]

i agree. he should try. char kway teow and mee goring

[@mulismail7921]

Youre in Singapore? Head down to changi village and Bedok Corner for food, dont just go to the popular places, heartland areas are where the good foods at man.

[@jasmelmcgauran4835]

Mul Ismail no reply 😂well that is life and that is why I don't subscribe 😂😂😂

[@mcgreater]

he literally went to all the touristy places to eat 🤨

[@freaker10000]

Oooo you're finally in Singapore!!!

[@wilsonlee8557]

Hi Mike!! I from Southern Malaysia (Johor), neighbor country of Singapore. My best chicken rice version is add dark soya sauce onto the rice + chili sauce. Then mix it well, combine with the hot soup. WOW!!

[@racays]

Fried banana is a common street food in south east asia. You can find it in almost all (or maybe all ?)the countries

[@chinsongsim7190]

Fried bananas are common, but the pisan raja bananas are difficult to find nowadays and the one sold at that stall has had history

[@jordanwong9957]

WAIT WHEN DID YOU COME

[@CrystalSanchez094]

whoa the intro surprised me. XD i LOVE it!

[@ping_square]

omgg finally you are here in sg!! welcome!!

I'm Filipino and I have been to a few Asian countries incuding Singapore. Talking about food, Singapore tops my list.

You are spot on here. Singapore hawkers foods is the best in Asia. The fast turn over made the foods taste fresher

[@gabeng60]

I love the stares you go from the people in the background at maxwell

[@blueriddinghood]

When you visit Singapore next time, please compare the Tian Tian Chicken Rice with the Ah Tay Chicken Rice (which is a few stalls down Tian Tian's). Supposedly, the former chef of Tian Tian had a fight with the owner and set up Ah Tay. I tried it and personally liked how more unctuous the Ah Tay rice was, while the chicken was more or less the same. I'd like to know your opinion on that. Nothing quite like a food rivalry as an excuse to compare dishes. :)

[@TheDKdoublekill]

How do you know if you ate something amazing? When you hear dubstep coming from your mouth.

[@myasilas6160]

😂😂 people staring like wtf

[@jacquelinewee7223]

Hmm Mike, Chicken rice is a dish by the local Hainanese in Singapore who as a dialect group are known to be good cooks and own many coffee shops cum restaurants on the island. Thus the chicken rice DID NOT originate from Hainan Island China.... their chicken dish is not tender, does not have jello broth under the skin and does not use pandan or wentong ginger which are found in Southeast Asia.

[@blackhorse7553]

Jacqueline Wee. Wow, u know alot

[@juanmendizabal4785]

Cum restaurants..... sounds interesting

[@chuaelaine3913]

Your expressions and music are always so good
