BRITISH FOOD in a Singapore hawker centre!

[@SL-qs6jo]

just a quick update. L&D is no longer at maxwell food center. They've opened up a bistro instead an the prices are close to 2x the price you see in this video and the serving is smaller. They no longer have any wow or worth factor that made them popular back in the days.

[@recordevo]

Thanks for the update! I guess I won't be heading down then. Sounds like they have become like one of the many gastro pubs out there.

[@juRa6077]

Thks, save me a trip as I was thinking of going to Maxwell for the L&D food.

[@towerguarder]

cant agree more. they lost what made them special

[@GregoryLeow]

Kindly note that they have ceased operations at Maxwell and are in the midst of moving to 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza #01-108. They will be operating a modern British gastropub serving proper comfort food & proper cold beer.

[@GregoryLeow]

no haggis unfortunately!

[@YusriSapari]

I hope the fish and chips is not dory...

[@mtv565]

Is the stall still around in 2019? I would like to try it next week.

[@purrfekt]

@@mtv565 Yes, it's still around.

[@antoinesimeon728]

All the sodium and grease from the English fry-up platter makes the dish look so-so...cant think of any occasion i'd ever pick it up, though the beef stew looks like a steal. Thank you for taking the bullet for us and giving the insightful analysis!

[@weldon29]

Like your presentation style, not over the top and annoying like other SG youtubers.

[@albertoggalaura2801]

Have they shifted? It’s still near the hawker but is now a restaurant

[@kensim8378]

The quality and content of your channel is getting better. Keep it up!

[@GregoryLeow]

Thank you!

[@willyamyam228]

Eeek! now getting worse...rubbing nose, scratching face, using both hands fumblling food even shui kow! How clean can you get! Noticed customers starring at you! Forgot you are air. Saw you pouring oil on spoon and smelling it! AS IF THATS NOT ENOUGH, OPENED THE OIL DISPENCER AND STUCK YOUR NOSE IN TO SMELL! DISGUSTING TABLE MANNERS, SO ANTI SOCIAL! DONT FORGET, WERE NOT OF THE WOODS YET!

[@mabala]

Your commentary has got to be one of the best out there. I've never heard someone talk about food like that!

[@GregoryLeow]

Thank you!

[@kensim8378]

do you think cold storage carry this "tom piper" brand? as i m a disabled seniorusing my mobility scooter thks

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

need to visit maxwell again soon. havent been in a long time. and a small detail, but i liked how he respectfully handled money. not many people do that anymore :)

[@jblbonnie5155]

Details on food menu,food presentation is great and can see clearly,introduction is great and clear. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@AlqGo]

Why does food in Singapore taste so much better at hawker centers than food sold in shopping malls? Why does food in Singaporean shopping malls taste so bad?

[@GregoryLeow]

Well not all shopping mall food is bad (in Food courts that is) but yes by and large, they are subpar. A big reason is because of rents. The rents are significantly higher than at Hawker centres so they can’t offer the same sort of value. The food court Operators are also by and large employed by food corporations so there’s no incentive to invest and build on it versus a Hawker stall where you are your own boss and you dictate your terms

[@mitchellm1451]

@ Carlene Louisa...this is where i am right now eating lunch...see i'm thinking of you my pretty english girl...love you! happy here in singapore...away from australia...loving it

[@lvl5969]

Where's the black pudding in the fry up? Should have pork pies on the menu too..but everything you tried looked great for value!

[@jorensleong4202]

Closed on weekends, at least their food was moreish. The full brekkie was greasy good.

[@mitchellm1451]

nearly 5 weeks ago i was here...i left a comment below...thought i subscribed but i did now...i like your videos...miss singapore...my favourite place in the world

[@GregoryLeow]

glad you enjoy the videos! thanks for watching!

[@kyosingapore8128]

What's the song at 0:20 seconds

[@GregoryLeow]

Please leave my butter alone - Elsie Carlisle! :)

[@Ccb88888]

Normally in an English breakfast, the English prefer unsmoked or smoked back bacon, which is thick-cut, and not too crispy. Streaky bacon is OK, but more for sandwiches I think. It would be nice with some black pudding as well, but that's more of a Northern English/Scottish thing-Singaporeans probably wouldn't like it.

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

Full English. Black pudding not got! This looks really interesting and will be a great change for most Singaporeans, or ang moh backpackers that may want a change from eating “Asian” food and don’t want to spend a day’s food budget on one meal in a pub-themed restaurant.

[@GregoryLeow]

Lol I’m not sure locals will eat real black pudding, to be frank!

[@darklatte2509]

I kinda like your review.. You seems introducing the place with adequate information on its history and what they are known for which I couldn't find in most of review channel nowadays. Most channel do just jump into food and comment the taste & price, blah2.. I also realized in one of your video earlier where you did the review undercover day before reveal your present which impress me on your dedication and motivation doing honest food review. This channel should receive more followers. Good job. Keep up the good work.

[@GregoryLeow]

Thank you for the kind comments! Glad you like the videos!

[@polobuncharsiew]

9:23 the guy at the back do scare me

[@GregoryLeow]

😂😂😂

[@JustinTan]

Tried the beef stew and it was good! Great recommendation Gregory!

[@hawwusong74]

Wow! Didn't realize that this still exists. I tend to avoid hawker western food... Looks quite British to me... Only difference would be portions and presentation in Britain would be fairly bigger... Yorkshire looks really nice... Actually, the rough mash is better imho... Too smooth and it will be a little like processed KFC mash. Usually the brits would cut this with as much as 30% butter by weight. I have eaten a version with about 50%... Like crack cocaine, I tell you... Luckily butter is so expensive now. :) Bacon is a little subjective... Actual bacon is quite salty. Preserved food after all. Traditionally, I think they do soak the bacon before slicing to get rid of most of the salt. I guess the proprietor used it straight from the pack as it is already pre-sliced. Maybe a 5 min soak would bring down the salt level. I noticed that the bacon looks different from the supermarket stuff though.... The way the edges are burnt.... I may be wrong, but the bacon looks to be better quality than the supermarket type.

[@GregoryLeow]

Dunno lah, whenever I eat bacon in Australia or uk, it always tastes nicer due to lower salt levels. Yes soaking it would probably make it much tastier!

[@edteo17]

50% buttah???? ermagerd

[@patricksyd]

Oh my! I wish I saw this before I go to Singapore! they looked all yummy 😋😋😋

[@Lalalalalelo]

i like that u went there a few times to try out different dishes before compiling them. Good effort!

[@GregoryLeow]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@kimcreator456]

Love your presentation that make me feel like I was there eating it.

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

My favourite bacon sandwich is from St John’s Bread & Wine in London

[@cynthialee3228]

Interesting...definitely heading there soon..

[@ckyx5]

Just came across your vids! Really well done commentary, subscribed :)

[@GregoryLeow]

Thank you!

[@mremzi94]

Hash Brown is the staple to an English breakfast concerning the potato element, we have that rather then chips in most parts of the UK

[@GregoryLeow]

But in a chip butty....?

[@mremzi94]

True that

[@mremzi94]

Where i live in the Midlands we put anything on a cob especially breakfast times haha

[@hom3r]

for a hawker price its still quite pricey.

[@MH-mv2uy]

I like your style on reviewing, you, my friend, just got a new subscriber

[@GregoryLeow]

Hey thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@bushyconn]

The bacon is probably so salty due to the way it is cooked. In UK, bacon is either grilled or pan fried, no salt is added during cooking. But glad you enjoyed the rest. As an ex pommie I would tend to keep away from such food in Singapore, except on special occasions.

[@GregoryLeow]

Actually it isn’t. It’s fried with no added salt. It’s just that singapore has quite strict hygiene laws which means that cured meats have to be free of bacteria etc etc that’s why the salt level is so high (I am told)

[@pops1507]

Great opening music!

[@1ewi5]

Discovered your channel by chance. Excellent work.

[@GregoryLeow]

Thank you!

[@tonymoly8739]

I'll love to try their beef stew which is a very easy to do dish at home. Other than that, the rest of the menu scream 'processed' food!

[@arwenmegan]

I missed your quirky intro. I am not big on British’s cuisine. But good to know there is a stall that makes an interpretation of British food.

[@joec.743]

can younuse usd there?

[@GregoryLeow]

Nope, only singapore dollars

[@winstonliew1965]

nice bgm, but the calories for comfort food will probably be quite high.

[@choonyanong8590]

welcome back nice to see you hope we see more food c

[@yeokhwee]

You are so knowledgeable. Hope that your Subscriber will grow

[@steveread3303]

I will be in Singapore in December 2018 & first thing to do will be to get a real knife, fork & spoon .. eating with plastic utensils is not a good food experience.

[@GregoryLeow]

Haha! That’s one of the ways they keep the cost down. But yes it means plastic lol

[@cgulljbravi8264]

Butter not Buttock...... that opening song had me reeling with laughter, good one.

[@SuccessforLifester]

You purposely dyed your hair grey?

[@GregoryLeow]

lol i wish! that's called aging :)

[@SuccessforLifester]

Gregory Leow it is stylish looking in my view

[@thebettafish100]

Wtf 😂

[@braintransplantdonor]

Interesting concept but I don't think I'd be trying it in a hurry, it's not what I come to Singapore to eat. Just out of interest Greg, what is the fish & chips like at Smith's? Have you ever eaten there?

[@GregoryLeow]

it's urm passable? I wouldnt waste my time lol. and yes, i wouldn't recommend this stall to you of all people!

[@braintransplantdonor]

Thanks - I just wondered about Smith's; I went past the one at Tanjong Katong a couple of years ago but was on my way elsewhere so didn't look closely. I was intrigued enough to look on the net at their menu - they were advertising a steak and guinness pie for somewhere around $20!! Hell, That's most of a whole day's food budget for me over there!

[@georgecopley3403]

Gregory you made me laugh mate I'm from Perth, and have worked with lots of English, You took a bite of the Yorkshire Pudding and stew, the next thing your talking like an Englishman you said straight after your bite "bloody hell " just like a real Englishman

[@GregoryLeow]

lol! full disclosure: I used to study in the UK (GCSEs to University) so there's a little bit of influence there!

[@Wvk5zc]
