A lot of restaurants when they are preparing shark fin soup nowadays, there are not real shark fins in them. They use some other substances to replace shark fins because knowing that the younger generations are growing and the older generations are diminishing these restaurants are trying to appeal to the younger generations with their care for environmental movements. Turtle soup on the other hand, the turtles in there are actually farm-grown turtles. I understand the stigma behind the name "turtle" but seeing that it's farm-grown I honestly don't see the rationale behind disliking the dish simply because if you dislike that dish using the ideology of cruelty then it can be said the same for Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lambs, Kangaroo, etc.

Rojak. You have got to try it. There's Malay Rojak, Chinese ROjak, Indian Rojak and quite a few more. It's a fruit and veg salad but not Indian Rojak which is a full-on sensory experience if you can watch it up close while it's being made. Do more 'weird' food but not because you've grown to like it. If you're on a walkabout and out of the blue, you can see that there's a little food shop with something hanging in the window, just go and ask what is it, how much, how do you eat it and have some.

Hey Georgia, Actually the green stringy bits is "chendol" - star of the dessert mixed with read beans, coconut milk , gula melaka (palm sugar) and ice shavings. I love it too especially on a hot afternoon. In Singapore, when porridge is mentioned - more often than not we are referring to "rice" porridge. In the UK when porridge is mentioned, it usually refers to grains like oats. In English, raddish and carrot is obviously different. However in Mandarin, carrot refers to the orange root and white carrot refers to raddish. Therefore "friend carrot cake" really refers to fried raddish cake. FYI...

Always enjoyable to see non-Singaporeans enjoying our cuisine! :) Mala (麻辣) is more of a flavour than a dish! It translates to "numbing-spicy", and the numbing feeling you get is a special pepper that comes from the Sichuan region. You get this as an option when you head to hotpot restaurants around Singapore. I suppose what you had (and beginning to love) was Mala Xiang Guo, which as your friend said is a relatively new item in Singapore. It's popularity has skyrocketed in the last few years! I find it helpful to have a bowl of rice with the ingredients so that the spice doesn't overwhelm you.

Fish Porridge and most fish based soup/noodle soups use a fish commonly called Batang fish aka Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel aka tenggiri batang for the high fat content & melt in your mouth texture. Most porridges in Singapore are cooked till it becomes this perfect melty texture, ie. Cantonese style. They heat it up and start to add the remaining flavourings and meat in upon order. That's why it's so good. Always add an egg, for extra creaminess.

Other than turtle soup, you guys should try gui ling gao, which is also known as "tortoise/turtle jelly" because it used to be made with turtle shell powder. Nowadays the commercially available versions don't contain real turtle shell, so you can eat it without worry! It tastes like grass jelly, and it's believed in Chinese medicine to have health benefits like cooling and complexion 😄

Abit late, but just to share: For porridge in Singapore, there are the Hokkien style porridge and Cantonese style porridge. Hokkien = Fu Jian, China Cantonese = Guang Zhou, China or Hong Kong. The Hokkien porridge are more like rice in soup. The canto porridge is more grinded like oatmeal. Try doing food series in Singapore (Hunt for best canto porridge, hunt for Hokkien Mee, Hunt for Chicken Rice)

Most restaurants in Singapore don't put real sharks fin in shark fin's soup anymore. They usually replace it with crab meat, but we still call it shark fin's soup for convenience sake and familiarity.

Old Amoy Chendol at Chinatown complex is really good. The owner learnt from his grandpa who used to hawk and sell Chendol!

I am so envious of the two of you, I could bust! I love Singapore, we had a family vacation planned there for the first week of June which got blown to hell... I have no idea of when I can get back, and here the two of you come along, with all these great things to eat, it just isn't fair! So, where do you find all these goodies? Any favorite places you can share? I'm not doing the egg, but that's me. I won't go near shark fin soup here in the US, much less in Asia, it's immoral. I've seen chendol, I've just never ordered it - pure ignorance. You two stay well, you are living the best years of your lives.

Try Chai Chee Pork Porridge! Their lean pork and century egg porridge is kind of a comfort food. Fried hokkien prawn noodle (not the soup noodle) is probably one of the best local food imo -- the prawn and pork stock, paired with sweet and savoury sambal, make the dish so flavourful

wow i just saw this! another tip for mala from my chinese friends who are absolute pros, they order mala but tell them to get rid of the oil afterwards. like go home and drain it or they can do it for you. its much more enjoyable and so much better!

​@@GeorgiaCaney HAHAHA, well it is actually funny and interesting to see an outside perspective to drinks we grew up with. Did you guys really bathe with those drinks? That was awhile back, so maybe you've acquired some local tastebuds and can do another taste test XD As much as I love cold brew chinese tea, IMO brewing or factory processes always loses flavour and nutrients in the tea. Have you tried warm soy milk at hawkers or other famous beancurd stalls?

You may continue to have sharkfin soup. Through the years, most restaurants did not take part in having the real shark fin as ingredients anymore. I believe it is a mixed with fish maw, crabs and starch etc. It tastes pretty much the same too! Just more environmental friendly, to the sharks at sea :)

You got to try rojak! There are 3 diff types of rojaks - the Chinese, Malay and Indian versions. And you might want to try Mee Soto Ayam (it is like Chicken Soup Noodle).. If you eat beef, then myb Rendang, full of spice and tender meat.. or Murtabak! It is like prata but there are meats inside. You can choose chicken, beef or sardines as a filling.. Nasi briyani dam - A Malay & Indian wedding rice with diff gravy.. But Indian Nasi briyani version is mostly vegetarian.

Hey Georgia and Justin, you should try the chendol in Malacca. Go to Jonker Street and look for Jonker 88 store. It's literally the best chendol I've tasted. As for a good frog leg dish, you can go No.2 Braddell Road, Hong Chang Frog Porridge. It has been very very popular but only open in the evening. I think it closes on one of the weekdays and parking might be a nightmare because this shop is located just beside a road junction with few parking lots.

FYI. Fried carrot cake is made with rice cake fried with Salty pickled daikon radish. Which the locals call “white carrot”. hence the name “carrot cake”

Georgia, there are two types of carrot cake (white/ black), I personally prefer it done the "white" way- just pan fried and less greasy/ not as sweet as the black saucey type! It's more eggy as well :)
