[@fkloh3289]

Blk 628 Ang Mo Kio Hawker center is in my neighborhood. The coffee shop right next to the hawker center has a BBQ pork stall that offers a more delicious version of the BBQ pork than the one you guys had. Also, the hawker center has a stall that do up a pretty good pork fried rice.✌

As a Singaporean, it warms my heart to see you exploring the heartlands and trying the foods like a local. Your kids are cute and very open to trying new things as well, awesome!

@@BagsPackedFamily Welcome to Singapore!

[@Rrraaachhh]

You raised your kids so well! They’re well-behaved, well-mannered, very open to try without a word of complaint! I love how you venture out to try less touristy areas, and I realized wherever you go and whenever you place orders, you ask for your kids’ opinions, that’s wonderful parenting!

[@mrpolarbearrrrr]

It is so heartwarming to see his kids being so comfortable in a food court environment and being so immersed in less touristy locations.

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

one adult alone with three kids without any devices.. even in singapore it’s a rare sight to see. Well done, what lovely kids

[@lizzy9975]

Devices are a blight on this world.

[@yuemeisu922]

You are a very patient father, watching 3 kids can be very stressfull sometimes, but you always seem to have time for the 'problems' your kids from while to while do have and you never seem to be exhausted🎅

[@richardchang40]

Love the way your family share drinks or food together, such a close knit family. Doesn't get more fun when your kids enjoy travelling and vlogging with you. Cedar's reaction to something that she dislike is sweet. 🤣🤣. All these are moments to cherish for a life time.

[@saritparida6594]

Today's vlog was taken over by the kids and they did an amazing job as always. We really missed Kelly, and her reactions. Hope she recovers soon!

Forrest has most loving and considerate big brother-sister duo❣️ The three children are amazingly composed and calmly-behaved even with the little one feeling, one might think, separation anxiety for mom❤️ that still was most natural feeling for him to have.

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@kaneaties]

Thank you, for bringing viewers into our heartlands. This is the side of Singapore that tourists don’t normally see. We aren’t always expensive and luxurious. And more than often there’re hidden gems and good local food. I like that you and your kids were so appreciative and adventurous :) Cheers!

[@alanhutchings6713]

me and my wife are coming to sg in April and hope we meet some locals like we did the last time we visited 28 years ago on our honeymoon they showed us so much more than just the shiny bits

It's clear that those children are being raised very well 👍 Great to see this family enjoying eating at a local Singaporean hawker food court 👍🍽

The kids are amazing! Very impressed with how adventurous they are with food! Food is a great way to experience and understand another culture! Enjoy your stay in Singapore!

[@Blablablarandomguy]

Great job in going right into the heartlands instead of hanging around the regular touristy areas! You can be proud to say that you had a real Singapore experience here. This was as authentic as it gets.

So delightful to watch your video as you interact so spontaneously. Great idea to bring your children along! Cheers from Singapore

[@mandy_145]

My first time watching this youtuber’s vlog & I like it 👍 Nice, respectful dad & very well-behaved children who helped give their honest opinions . I wish that there was a local to show you around & guide you in food choices. Glad you bought white( poached) chicken for the chicken rice dish but you missed out on thick soya/ black sauce which goes very well with the chicken. There are lots of other yummy local dishes that you & family should try. There are Malay & Indian hawker food . Oh.. you should have bought the radish ‘cakes’( chwee kueh) & take it back to the hotel for Kelly to eat. Wondering how many days more you’ll be staying in Singapore. Being new to your channel, I don’t know if you have been to all our wonderful places like The Zoo, Night Safari, Jewel, Gardens By The Bay, etc etc. All the best to you & your lovely family 🤗🌻

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Hi Mandy. Thanks for so much for the many suggestions on places to visit. Unfortunately, this was a pretty short trip, but we plan to visit Singapore and Malaysia in the spring. :-)

U have a great family and it’s nice to see the children are open to experiencing the local food. Hope you have a fun time in Singapore.

[@meic2387]

Haha watching them eat the Chwee Kueh (radish dish) and guessing the ingredients was so funny. This is a common local breakfast dish, the ‘veggies’ on top are preserved turnip. Happy to see the local market being explored… The kids are sooo adorable and well-mannered!

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thank you! The dish was so good!

[@joelngkm]

U could hv packed this radish bk for Kelly to enjoy, since u guys r so impressed abt it ... 😊

[@renecne]

your children are very lucky, a lot of experience since childhood to explore different countries, always healthy, and stay safe

[@hazel449]

Really cool to see you guys work out what was in the kaya - and you were spot on! Coconut and Pandan (which is also in the green jelly noodles in cendol) Also the Chwee kueh (radish dish) you guys tried is really famous. The stall is called Bedok Chwee kueh and the original stall was awarded the Michelin bib gourmand in 2019 ;)

[@Pawpaw71]

Tourists should venture more into the heartlands when they visit sg. Popular ones would be Ang Mo Kio, Woodlands, Yishun, Jurong, Tampines. There are shopping malls, hawker centres and local sights to see. If you're lucky there might even be a night market. Plenty of cheaper options compared to the cbd area. Don't just try chinese cooked dishes. Try out some Malay and Indian local dishes too. We are after all a multiracial country.

[@phinobingeorge4049]

Hi there, you beautiful people I came across your channel while looking at some Singapore travel vlog. Thank you for walking down the memory lane with me. Like you, I left my birthplace Singapore and travelled around the globe working and funding my travels. Now, I am happily married and had settled in Australia for good. Come and say hello when you are down under. Hugs for the kids x

[@tongfattho6913]

It is really heart-warming to see you and your kids enjoying local food in the neighborhood hawker center.

[@MajorBlitz]

For the kaya toast it's actually 1 of 3 that belongs in a breakfast set. It typically consists of the toast, soft boiled eggs that you can dip the toast into (pepper and soy sauce optional) and a drink of your choice. The famous example is yakun kaya toast and its loved by almost everyone here and afar. Give kaya toast another try in that setting

[@wonderbuffon]

Wow this is where I go for lunch after going for my haircut every month! Super impressed that you guys managed to find this place. The chicken rice stall is also my favourite and the closed oyster omelette stall also sells delicious fried hokkien prawn mee as well. The carrot cake stall opposite the roast meat stall is pretty cheap and good. Do have a try if you come back

[@Grizzlebearify]

Haha great vlog! Love the kids reaction to new food. They are really mature and open to new food. Wishing Kelly a speedy recovery!

[@ainzooalgown7589]

the item you ate at Bedok is chwee kueh its made of primarily rice flour, the radish is the topping

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thanks for the added information! :-)

[@foodmore]

@@BagsPackedFamily It's usually eaten like a breakfast snack item or a meal by itself. Like a hot starchy breakfast punctuated by savory radish and spicy chilli.

[@jhf4930]

This is very local❤ For the chicken rice, Usually I will have three of the sauce mixed as my dip Chilli(red),ginger(yellow), dark sauce. The purpose of the ginger and chilli is to purge “the wind or cold” to balance up the food, According 😊to old folks The three pieces of white cake are make of rice and the name is “chwee kueh “ aka “water cake”. The brown stuff are dried pickle vegetable or reddish. Another one you may want to try is “fried carrot cake”, a very local food and kids will love them

[@exs1803]

So wonderful to see a family, especially foreigners, enjoying the food at a local hawkers food center. The family that eat together stay together. The kids will be foodies, food experts when they grow up Hahaha

[@geniegal78]

Yes, the taxi driver is correct! Many of the neighbourhood hawker centres have pretty good food for low prices. Singaporeans love spicy! 😊 Kaya is pandan coconut jam, you are eating the bread wrong. You are supposed to eat the 2 pieces together like a sandwich. The last dish is rice cakes with preserved radish bits on top.

[@sofiesugianto8700]

As an usual kids so nice even though they looked sleepy, awesome kids, wish the best of luck for your journey and get well soon Kelly.

[@maychua4398]

❤ and enjoyed watching your videos probably cause of your three cute lovely children. Real 😊 you and your family had enjoyed the food in the hawker centers you had been to.

[@Strodie567]

I'm always amazed by how adventurous the older kids are. They are always trying new things and they appreciate almost everything they eat. Of course they don't like everything, but they always have a very thoughtful rationale for why they like or dislike something. They are so much more mature and... "gastronomically oriented" than almost any child their ages. Forest on the other hand... sorry, but not there at all. Of course he is so much younger, things will hopefully change as he grows. But it makes me wonder: How were the older kids when they were Forest's age? Were they as picky as he is now, or were they already on their way to become little gourmets?

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Thank you so much for the support. Good question, both Granite and Cedar were both pretty adventurous eaters from a young age. I hope Forest is just a late bloomer. :-)

[@FatLittleButterfly]

The chicken in Hainanese chicken rice is usually poached slowly then shocked in ice to achieve the springy texture. The broth used to poach the chicken is also used for cooking the rice and making the sauce. OH, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING OYSTER OMELETTE??

Me too, but the oyster place was closed. :-(

Yes yes good recommendation this is the most local "vibe" hwaker centre ever. I grew up there I know

[@annieteo7169]

The fried brown veg compliments that goes with chwee kuey l is turnip. I once remembered my mum saying the tiny cakes are not raddish but in actual fact rice grained to its finest form.

[@CNNA8592]

The chwee kuehs may not be vegetarian. Traditionally and usually pork lard is used to prepare the radish to make it more fragrant. Usually we have it for breakfast 🙂 lovely family, great video!

The radish rice dish is awarded Michelin though at a different location known as Bedok. But they are pretty much similar. I really like it too but wasn't able to eat it at Bedok as they are always sold out now early in the evening due to the Michelin award

Usually, there are hawker centre with wet markets merged together. Which is why there is fishy smell when you enter the area. Generally, those fish, meat products that are found in the wet market are usually for people to buy and cook at home. Hawker centre stores usually gets their supply elsewhere. Think of it this way. Wet market stores get their stock from suppliers. If, hawker stores get their stock from wet market stores it would be more expensive than if they were to get directly from suppliers. Suppliers >$$> Wet market >$$> Hawker Suppliers>$$> Hawker

@@BagsPackedFamily No worries. Generally, all hawker centres in SG have decent food. You should try out Tiong Bahru market or ABC Brickswork food market. Try looking for these foods when you visit any of the hawkers in SG. Prata, Bak Kut Teh, Hokkien Mee, Satay, Laksa, Bak chor Mee.

Uh....I think you are supposed to eat the two slices of the bread together. One slice of the bread is spread with butter which has a little bit of salty taste and the other slice is spread with kaya jam which is a coconut jam and is sweet. So the two tastes are complementary and an excellent combination when eaten together.
