Exotic Asian Meats!! Singapore’s Extreme China Town Menu!!

[@marwinpascua9625]

Tendon is actually low in fat and high in protein. It is a good alternative for those who want the sensation of fat in their mouth minus the actual fat. The fatty texture of it is due to collagen.

[@leonardpearlman4017]

Yeah, I don't think there's any fat at all! It's just connective tissue. I've seen it cooked (in Mexican food) where it was chewy and entirely transparent. Strange waxy texture. It wouldn't be my first choice! But these hawkers seem like they know how to cook. I would have eaten anything we saw today, and some rice to go with it. Our food/travel guys never seem to want to eat rice, but that pig's knuckle (say) seemed like it would have really gone well with a bowl of rice! Or maybe a steamed bun. I thought for SURE Sonny was going to get something with a FISH HEAD on it, since that seemed to be in a few signs.

[@karypogi]

Agree

[@theotheleo6830]

@@leonardpearlman4017 He likely doesn't want rice when he has to eat a lot of dishes in a short time; it would be too filling.

Yep. Mostly protein. I kind of like the texture in Viet and other Asian food. Cook it long enough and it turns into glue.

[@tricialee9268]

Sonny i am so excited that you are in Singapore!! As a singaporean, i highly recommend hawker food: Hokkien mee, Nasi Lemak, Chilli crab, Yong Tau Fu, Roti Prata!! Most cuisines in singapore are influenced by chinese, malay, and indian culture! Some of them are also inspired from dishes originated from Malaysia/indonesia etc. Basically a mixture everything in South East Asia all together :)

[@melissadunton3534]

Just another fan of BEFS here, but I like your comment. I’m from the US and Singapore is on my bucket list of travel and food places! So, I copied your comment for things to try while I’m there. ☺️ Thank you for sharing! I knew about chili crab as it’s easily the most famous Singaporean food, globally. I’d also like to try salted egg yolk crab, is it as good as chili crab? I watch another KZbin creator who is from Singapore, so I’ve seen some of your more famous foods in their videos. But they mostly do content of the other ethnic foods you can find while in Singapore…so again, thank you for your recommendations. ✌🏻🥰😊

[@jamesmckinnon9312]

​@@melissadunton3534 Salted egg yolk crab depends on how the chef cooks it, some of the sauces are wet while some are like of a sandy texture (dry?). Salted egg yolk flavor was a huge trend in Singapore, you can try Irvin's salted egg chips or fried fish skin (It's a local brand, i think there is one store available in the airport). Hope that helps!

[@BiggestTable]

Hi Sonny welcome to Singapore! Old cucumber should be eaten just by the flesh and not with the skin 🤣 the flesh itself has a wonderfully soft and melt in your mouth texture! and I believe that was actually pig stomach that you had along with the fish maw soup, 2 of my personal favourite ingredients to have in soup as well 😆 Looking forward to seeing you enjoy more singaporean cuisine 🇸🇬🇸🇬

[@ziggyzag7864]

I always eat the skin. It’s actually my favourite part 😂😂

[@Sniperboy5551]

You should try chopped up cucumbers (with the skin on) with salt sprinkled over it and drizzled in balsamic vinegar and olive oil or Italian dressing. It’s a great snack for a hot summer day!

[@yiklinkhoo]

I am in the "no skin" faction.

[@khinweepang]

Old cucumber is just an overripe / fully ripe cucumber that has lost its crunch factor. Cucumbers are usually picked crisp and unripe. We mostly don't eat the skin. The flesh would be amazing as it would have absorbed all the flavour of the soup. Fish maw is FRIED air bladder of the fish. Hence its bubbly chicharon-like texture.
