[@simplyme3306]

Welcome to Singapore :D One reason for the cleanliness is there is no chewing gum hahahaha! That was the main reason for the gum law. Back in those days people will stick the gum everywhere even in between the train doors, creating nuisance, causing train delay etc. Jaywalking is also controversial especially there is a traffic light like nearby and you jaywalk and unluckily caught. It is mainly for the safety and orderliness of the country. Most laws are just common sense and act as a deterrence. It works for Singapore :D You are walking pass rows of private landed properties which cost millions and only certain percentage of people can afford. Majority of locals (80%) live in public housing estates. You can get local coffee (kopi) at neighbourhood coffee shops or local hawker centres. Local coffee shops are typically below or near local housing estates which consists of many different food stalls. The blue colour in the rice is from blue pea flower - natural.

[@AppleMacGeek]

Nope. The chewing gum ban was legislated because a bigwig got inconvenienced during a walkabout when some vandal stuck chewing gum in the door sensors. This act of vandalism is already covered under existing anti-vandalism laws but catching the miscreant was impossible before CCTVs so the powers that be decided to take the easy way out and ban chewing gum instead.

[@AppleMacGeek]

As an aside, the hotel that you stayed in is an amalgamation of refurbished “shophouses” where they knocked down intervening walls between individual buildings sharing a common wall. A shophouse was used in the old days to each house a single, potentially extended, multigenerational family upstairs which operated the commercial shop downstairs. There was no differentiation between residential and commercial zones back in those days and basically reduced the daily commute to no time at all. It was the original “work from home” concept! The shops could vary from haberdasheries to spice merchants to coffee purveyors to cloth merchants to mom and pop grocery stores to restaurants and the air used to be redolent of the differing aromas wafting through. The walkways in front of each shophouse were known as “5 foot ways” as that was how deep they were at one stage before they got narrowed to expand the vehicular roadways and served as shaded and covered boardwalks for potential customers. You were truly living in a historical building that dated back to the founding days of Singapore and if walls could talk, the stories they could tell would be amazing.

[@Bluemiiing]

Their airport is really something else. It look modern, beautiful and classy .

[@discofun]

It is a shopping mall next to an airport.

[@junemagdalenetan1213]

You’d actually walked past so many coffee shops that were selling local coffee and food. Your rendang rice was probably expensive because it was almost restaurant condition. Hope you’re loving your time in Singapore. If you’re interested in local cuisines, so try Holy Crab.

[@HopeforAllKind]

Peranakans (aka Nyonya) are descendants of the first Chinese immigrants to Singapore who intermarried with the indigenous Malay population. Many can trace their lineage back generations before Sir Stamford Raffles came in 1819. From what I recall, there was a large amount of immigration from southern China to Southeast Asia in general starting in the 15th Century due to the Emperor of China of that time opening trade routes (I believe this may include Zheng He’s famous voyage). There’s also some really interesting stories surrounding Nyonya ancestry with some claiming that they are descended of the retinue of a Chinese Princess from the Ming Dynasty who married the Sultan of Malacca at that time.

[@danialroslan1531]

Peranakans are not specific to Chinese. Peranakans is a Malay term meaning "to be born from" or offspring. It refers to child of immigrants who married the local native population. So if someone is born from an Arab parent, they are Jawi Peranakan; Tamil - Chetti Peranakan, Chinese - Chinese Peranakan

[@HopeforAllKind]

@@danialroslan1531 thanks for the correction! I was truly only aware of the Chinese Peranakans due to them being far more common in Singapore but it was great to learn that the term can be used for others as well!

[@danialroslan1531]

@@HopeforAllKind yes can't deny Chinese Peranakans have better marketing haha. And the rest of the peranakans have mostly assimilated into other main ethnic groups like Indian & Malay.

[@lengyeowang4147]

Ming dynasty princess never married to foreigners, or married to foreign countries .

[@lengyeowang4147]

The largest immigrant source for Peranakans ppls , are refugees from Taiwan, when Ching government occupied Taiwan in 18th century .

[@Hopyoprop]

Also there is actually trains that go to Katong Area. It’s the Thomson East Coast Line btw. Unfortunately those stations that link you easily to the airport are still building but you can still hop around with it once you are there. Marine Parade station is your stop. So you can use that to branch around during your stay. Google Maps is your friend as well. Enjoy your time! :D

Try going to other areas. Geylang has lots more halal food. You can also go to other areas in Singapore. Singapore is famous for Chicken Rice and Laksa. There is also satay. If you go to Arab Street, it is best known for their murtabak. You can get it from a place called Zamzam or Victory.

[@susantan3242]

I had my relatives booked to the very same hotel u checked into. Like how u already described the area is heritage, very close to the sea (in fact much of the area is reclaimed decades ago) and you may noticed some of the older preserved buildings have entrances that are height adjusted when the tide *used* to come in. Lucky for you, there is now an operational MRT station just 10 mins walk where u stay so access is very convenient to the city areas. There are many small eateries in the stretch of E.coast rd where u stay. Unlike that first meal u indulged in, the hawkers is where the real deal is. Welcome to SG!

[@maxtreme225]

what affects pricing in singapore the most are rentals and property prices, which increases consistently due to our small size and dense population

Katong has rich peranakan heritage. Some shophouses are being conserved under URA heritage site. You can only renovate the interior without changing the facade. Very similar to Jalan Besar, North Bridge Rd, Chinatown.

[@lockaltube]

34:28 - these are Peranakan houses, you can see them in various parts of Singapore. Very beautiful indeed. "This area has a lot of eateries" - haha, it is so common! Sometimes you can't see them, because they are in the basement floors, but well-maintained street food is everywhere. 14 SGD for chicken rice is expensive one, you can easily find cheaper version of it.

Hi Myer, you can find mutton/chicken/fish briyani rice at local coffeshop or hawker center for about $8, and one cup of local coffee for less than $1.50. You ate at a Peranakan restaurant, surely more expensive. 😅

[@myertravels]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jeslyny9692]

Watching your video about Singapore is so enjoyable and the interactions with the locals so precious

[@TeguhNugroho90]

Well, Myer, "asking a local" is not always a better option, specifically in a place like Singapore. It is the most developed country in Southeast Asia. Simply open your Google Maps, and it will tell you the exact route you need to take. Train or bus, how many stops, etc. I can see from those ladies at the airports, they're not in their best mood to answer your question. I go to Singapore frequently and the people are actually nice and helpful, but you can't just asking people randomly like you had in Indonesia or Thailand. I got scolded when I asked a shopkeeper and a restaurant staff for the first time for a route (while it's common in Indonesia) Enjoy Singapore!

[@GoodGood-vb8gm]

The population of Singapore is 6 million and half of it are foreigners. Once, a Turkish recommended an American tourist to Newton Hawker Centre which is the most expensive one because it's for tourist. I being a Singaporean asked for direction to the National University Hospital and an East-Asian-looking guy said follow me and his accent told me he's not Singapore but most probably a Korean or Japanese studying at the university near the hospital. I frequented a cafe in Chinatown because the manager was very friendly and he was Filipino. On another occasion when I went to another town to visit my friend and was looking for the bread section and the Chinese couple was huh?. They were Chinese indeed (Chinese nationals). Then the Malay lady standing beside me told me where it was.

[@alonewithalones]

Aww that’s sad that you got scolded simply for asking for help..shame. I find asking questions in person is a good way to connect with others and to get a feel of a country’s people.

[@TeguhNugroho90]

@@alonewithalones Yes, you are right. One day, my wife and I asked a local Singaporean to sit together for lunch. He was so friendly and we had a really good talk, he told us that he lived in Indonesia few years ago. My point is, you can't just asking people randomly in Singapore. Shopkeeper, restaurant staff, etc, are not people you can't easily ask for directions. Ask fellow locals, pedestrians, station staff and they will help you. Please don't misunderstood my comment.

[@hankko450]

Assalamualaikum brother Myer. Welcome to Singapore! Just a tip on how you could identify Muslim-friendly stalls/restaurants is by the Halal certificate (green in color and usually displayed on the entrance or the cashier counter). Some do not have the certificates by they'd have a sign stating that it's Muslim-owned. You could try going to Arab Street which is also a famous tourist area to see the Sultan Mosque and there are plenty of Halal food options in the area as well. Geylang Serai, which is nearby Katong, is another Muslim-friendly area with plenty of Halal foods. Although it serves mostly Malay-Muslim food and also it is not a tourist place, but most of the food there is Halal. There's also Little India where you can find many Indian-Muslim stalls at the hawker centre. Nearby is Farrer Park, where you can go to a shopping mall called Mustafa Centre, and it is open 24/7. The mall has anything and everything you need. I think I've blabbered too much. Safe travels!

Singapore's tap water is extremely clean and drinkable straight from the tap. You will only need to boil the water to make a cup of hot coffee or tea. Otherwise, you can just fill up your water bottle with Singapore's tap water at a toilet tap with wash basin if you run out of drinking water while outside and can't find a drinking fountain nearby (but refrain from doing so if the toilet is crowded).

You can travel to any parts of sg via bus or train and its cheaper to taking ride-hailing booking as its charged base on map square metre like when u alighted at eunos mrt station to head to katong, the road was a one way road so hence u paid more for the distance 😊 i can write a long list 😂 just ask any locals anything when u come across and they will guide you inshaAllah 😊 Have Fun! 👏
