[@guitaristiz]

5:32 pretty sure that kiddish song is from the mixue ice cream stall 😂

[@kennySg101]

Actually, as a Singaporean. The best thing to do is to visit a Singapore town and have meal at the hawker centre. You get to experience one of the best planned city and public housing in the world.

[@Utube1024]

You are good at bargaining even the proprietor just couldn't stop smiling....LOL. Normally locals don't bargain when the price is shown upfront.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you! I thought there wasn’t harm in asking ☺️

[@NEAAFFAIRS]

Normally locals don't shop there too😁

[@houtchanmony1098]

@@ChaseandShelbsu are exactly right!! No harm to ask when u shop many stuffs in there and they do sometimes do good price for u too!! Singapore is like my 2nd home so often I always go there. Enjoyed guys and just want to say love ur video 😊😊😊

[@graceair3118]

Yes. I am surprised that the shop keeper allows bargaining! Singapore shopping are mostly fixed price! 😂

[@nerubiru]

I'm a Singaporean and I had totally forgotten that you can haggle here in some places! LMAO. Probably because the last time I actually shopped in Bugis Street was when I was in my teens!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Haha yeah I suppose so!? I wasn’t sure if it was a thing, but I’ve been hearing from a few Singaporeans that it’s accepted here if they feel like it. No harm in asking right? ☺️

[@suayhughes8103]

Enjoy watching,great video!!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Glad you enjoyed❤️

[@evilbefall98]

you should definitely try tea eggs! its my favorite. If you're thinking that it will taste bitter and herbally, that's not what it tastes like. Just a very aromatic egg infused with savory flavor

[@pearlg3055]

i really like you guys cheerful dispoisiton

[@ylzaf77]

Wow..Biuugis street looks fun

[@lohti6399]

Your right about the pigeons. They are strong and fierce in Singapore but harmless. Have fun.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you ❤️

[@saadansaid8337]

You should try to visit Geylang wet market and hawker center. At the hawker, its has alot of malay authentic food

[@RobertS-h7r]

pls don't recommend "wet" market, it smells fishy... nauseating... should be removed...

[@tommaeng2078]

Love Singapore.

[@woofwoofnation]

2:15 funny that Shelby was going to take the pant out of the store without requesting a bag 🤣

[@pearlg3055]

i discover places to visit thru your channel alhtough i live in singapore

[@HopeforAllKind]

The Food Lagoon in Bugis Street has really good steamed chicken rice haha maybe you guys could try it out if you come back next time!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thanks for the recommendation 🙂

[@Kushal-v8b]

Singapore perfect city for shopping 😊

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Truly it is 😂

[@NGUYENTRENMAY]

Bugis shopping street, nice experience, have you tried Skylug activity on Sentosa island? so much fun I recommended 😊 . Have a good day to you !

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

CHINA TOWN and LITTLE India my favorite.. LONG BEACH For KING CRAB- CHILLI and BLACK PEPPER...

[@yoonchongong8914]

Thanks!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thanks for the support! 🥹💛

[@hery781]

Hi, should have gone to 2nd level of the bugis street where you can find much more cheaper price. Anyway if you guys still in Singapore we can meet up and bring you to places where you can have good and affordable price food. local delights.

[@saadansaid8337]

Best Murtabak in Singap😢ore Beef or Chicken. Its OPPOSITE THE SULTAN Mosque, just across the road.

[@zhxnwxi.]

Oh damm the tea shop at 11:32 is the shop that ishowspeed streamed at

[@riprockmusic1]

Those tea or coffee packets is something really unique to Singapore. 🤣 it’s so common and second nature to us that we don’t even realise foreigners find it funny. Anyway it’s best used for iced drinks. Sometimes they pour hot coffee into those bags too and it just annoys me when they do that.

[@connormcchicken5915]

Maybe Bugis Street is the closest resemblance Singapore has to other SEA countries but even locals ourselves rarely ever go there. Bugis is the IN place to go for food, drinks and activities but definitely not at Bugis Street.

[@whereisthejustice]

During the teen years of Millennials, we always go there 😅

[@heartsmich6208]

What?? Kids these days dont go there anymore? Its our go to places when im a teen. And im a millennial. 😂

[@xMeLLoWinD]

You passed by a pretty good pastry spot at 15:25 "Best Karipap"

[@wlim2164]

Welcome ❤ to 🇸🇬

[@lmeastmanlastmanfreshman6321]

That Bhai tea shop are one of the best and the sarabat tea are delicious and damn shiok hahahaha😂

[@FlyArrow-g8b]

How do you explore everything but i always end up somewhere else and not find these murals on the buildings LOL. I was there 2 weeks ago too...

[@ptan4120]

Bugis street is named after the Bugis merchants from Indonesia who gathered there to sell their wares. Later, it was a site for transvesites who gathered there to entertain G.I. on RnR from the Vietnam War. Singapore is not sterile like many people from the West believe.

[@s_shaleh]

Oh come on. That's ancient history. There are no more transvestite hookers peddling themselves there. And if you wanna talk about the sex trade, it is one of the oldest trades in the world and it's very much ubiquitous. You'll find them anywhere in the world.

[@Animelover-ys3wq]

Singapore is an expensive place to live but if you can live with public transport, public housing and eat locally? It’s really quite affordable.

[@chewkenghong]

U have been to more places than me in Singapore...and I am Singaporean,😂

[@riprockmusic1]

And oh, Arab Street has some pretty good pedicure places too. I’ve been there to get pedicures. And I’m a dude 😅

[@Xeno_of_Luyten]

The texture description of the mystery meat sounds like it could be frog legs😋

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Maybe!!

[@hq3727]

@@ChaseandShelbs That looks like chicken thigh meat. It has that texture when you grill/dry-cook it. You can try the thigh piece of ayam penyet or even KFC for this texture. :)

[@chalayan]

% Arabica coffee is from Kyoto, Japan.

[@vs123]

I like street food market

[@albertz9895]

Sure sure Singapore is really nice if and when you have lots of cash lol

[@Barracuda72]

U have to go local museum near by and to know what a bugis est..

[@AvengeBasketball]

Singaporeans don’t bargain as much as in the 90s unless you’re at the wet market 😂 The shop owner must hv felt kinda awkward but went along cuz why not, we want visitors to enjoy their time here too.

[@kokboontan3895]

👍👍👍😄😄😄👏👏👏

[@meng8088]

Do visit Malaysia again ❤

[@bluestarfishsea]

Shelbs why u clothes shopping in one of the most expensive country u been in? 🤪 Can’t u get those pants in Thailand? 😂 Does remind me of penang too, beautiful mix of cultures + art 👌

[@ChaseandShelbs]

I can’t help it! I love to shop everywhere haha it’s so much fun. 🤭 yes you are right, it really does!

[@sorayaabrahim]

Loving your S'pore vlogs. If you're still around, try and have murtabak either at ZamZam or Victory Restaurant or try them both! (opppsite Sultan Mosque). I prefer the mutton. But they have many varieties.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Aw thank you! We aren’t but we will save this for next time 😍 obsessed with mutton!

[@megatrons5187]

you missed a trick not going to level 2 of the bugis market which is mani/pedi city

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Maybe next time ;)

[@BrownManTale]

You're allow to go in the mosque they will provide u wif the proper decent sarongs for man, head scarfs or veil any parts that's revealing for woman no issues dude

[@Karan-dq1nm]

Hi guys how are you

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Great thanks for asking! 🤗

[@foodmore]

I’m Singaporean and I rarely go to bugis street. It’s just too busy and chaotic for me. It’s kinda a touristy place as well so I avoid it quite abit 😂

[@Aditya_100]

Perfect couple: she talk too much but he is calm 😂 she is cute he is gentleman

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Aw haha yes you have this right! ❤️🤗🤭

[@DavidKearns4]

Chase is correct, it is "funny" that the bars are there. There are some in the local Muslim community that are trying to reverse that and bring back more of the way the Muslim quarter used to be.

[@s_shaleh]

They are a bit farther away from the mosque and Muslim cafes/restaurants and shopping belt and quite concealed from public view. They are geared towards tourists and non-muslim customers anyway. Obviously if they were directly in front of the mosque then I would take issue with it. Malaysia is a Muslim country and look at KL. Living in a multi-racial/cultural country, you have to kinda compromise and learn to share your space with others.

[@h5h5555]

😂🌹✌️👍

[@khalidnoer]

Don't bargain in Singapore unless you guys in Ubud Bali

[@ChaseandShelbs]

This is inaccurate! Bugis street is an exception.

[@jannahab116]

Lol! Singapore dont have bargaining culture. when she start to bargain for the pants its so weird! no wonder the shop keeper was like, no? hahahhaha

[@SinisterzMan]

Nahh actually its common to bargain at these type of stalls in Singapore. Its fine. I'm Singaporean and my gf and mom always bargains at such stall even at bugis street before.

[@Kayavenues]

U can bargain in these types of street shops. Mall ones, expect none 😊

[@onyx1714]

Nope. I've bargained at these stalls in Bugis before, cut down the price quite a bit. However, like other comments mentioned, the proper mall and franchises, bargaining not allowed.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

As the other comments stated! We bargained and he agreed to a cheaper price if you watched the whole scene. Not weird at all. @jannahab116

[@geraldineslk]

I will always bargain when I am in Bugis street buying clothes. They are willing to do down the price by at least a dollar. Bargaining makes me happy! ❤

[@kelvinfong408]

Guys, It is helpful to do some research before going to another country. Singapore is multi racial society. The streets shops/restaurants (you are in) is more touristy cater for shopping and leisure. They do have a freedom to sell what they want commercially. But restaurants who sell alcohol do need a licence and have time restrictions. General there are halal and non halal restaurants to cater for the general public througout Singapore.. Lastly just a breakdown for easier pronouncing (Bugis) is called "Bull - Geese" (only by sound).... Enjoy your stay.

[@cheryll8008]

You don't bargain in Singapore because they're not into that sort of thing 😂 Everything is darn expensive there for sure

[@ChaseandShelbs]

It worked though lol! And yes it sure is darn expensive. 😂

[@geraldineslk]

Bugis street is a place for u to bargain. In case u didn’t know that means u didn’t shop there enough. I always bargain and the owner are willing to do down the price by at least a dollar. Bargaining is also a skill. 😉

[@cheryll8008]

@@geraldineslk then why didn't that guy reduce the price when asked??

[@missevan88]

yeah it become robbery since he heated it up in microwave

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Yes!

[@saltychocolate2843]

xD Gotta admit even as a local, Once you buy one and get lost in the stores you walk out and come away thinking "What the hell just happened." You buy food, Finish it, Go to stores, buy something, Come out "Hey im hungry again" And the cycle Repeats. And be careful of the curries. Once you try one, And then another.. And another. Everyones curry is different yet similar. But distinct. You can go on a bit of a 'curry tour' if you dig in enough. xD

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Haha yes you aren’t wrong! This is usually how the cycle goes.. for us too 😂

[@LarryNg-mx8qz]

not the same as Taiwan, which have a greater variety of food

[@muhammadfairuzsamsi7209]

Its an alley turned into a mall with air-conditioning for the tourist. Our typical street markets roves around the various neighborhood in makeshift tents.

[@AikawaHajime]

It's Bugis, not Bewgis. Repeat after me: Boo Geese
