[@botak397]

There is also the black pepper crab chips and Tom yum chips. U can try that if u wanna do a part 2!

[@TattoosLovers]

Hi , @Ghib Ojisan do you know what snack's that are sweet and very poppular and made in japan & from japan ? Thank you for your help , i only know about the wasabi pea's with peanut's lol .

[@BlurDucky]

don’t call urself stupid. u r far from that, even many singaporeans dunno which are really singapore made.

[@BlurDucky]

i actually love that tapioca chili crisp, it’s my all time must have during studying or working. although i get sticky fingers always. it’s addictive

[@jessicamong1586]

You should get a Singpost PO box so your fans can send stuffs to you like food, gifts etc.

[@serpentsforhair]

His PO box will be jam-packed since he's so adored.

[@killertune7379]

Great idea Jessica! Someone needs to send him some gym packages as well. Ghib san likes to keep fit!!!

[@JohnWilliams-dq8pp]

@@dotmerah6713 Dude chill. She was kidding around.

[@jessicamong1586]

Not kidding. Not for present time but the future. So he can do mukbang snacks, etc.

[@olivertheparrotletfamily]

V good idea!!

[@Jjjjjjccccc]

Caught the "Jipun lang zhao liao" at the end! Nice touch! :)

[@ky4656]

i think u would make an excellent tour guide for japanese tourists

[@carmenchoi5409]

Get a pair of scissors Ghib!😛 I’m a singaporean living in Japan for 4 years, watching this at 1am, feeling nostalgic and homesick and hungry. 🥺 Thanks for doing this video! Happy to have foreigners enjoying really local food!

[@cchinhwee]

Stay safe and healthy. Eat yogurt with fresh fruits, nuts and chia seeds instead of chips. Hahaha..

[@LoverZSouL]

Aww, I love those chilli tapioca chips :p

[@BlurDucky]

me too, never get sick of it eating over 30years

[@MEnubnub]

throwback to primary school when pola snack was 10-20 cents

[@jessicakhor6477]

My batch was $0.30/$0.40...

[@guestpwl]

Now I’m in one and it costs like either 1.50$ or 2.00$.

[@MEnubnub]

Not to forget spin crackers too LOL

[@acevictory3587]

I hated it

[@sarah_supra]

You forgot Calbee HOT & SPICY chips! They have the regular ones and the ridged ones, ridged ones are so classic that i crave them when im overseas keropok means cracker in malay/bahasa indonesia Belinjau is actually a fruit, thats mashed dried then fried. Some people dont like the bitter taste so some have even coated them in the sambal sugar mix like the tapioca one you tried. Malay families usually have these snacks readily available at home esp during hari raya so one would eat it with the tapioca/tapioca sambal/fish crackers in different permutations. Its a good side snack next to the sweet kuihs one would serve it with too. The bottom of your list is actually the top favourites for my parents and grandparents due to the history these snacks have before branded snacks came in like calbee, meiji etc tapioca snacks are pretty common due to the long history of tapioca during the kampong days. Last time families would grow more tapioca than potatoes. Tapioca is pretty cheap and readily available. My family in past would just boil it and eat with fresh sambal. I really appreciate that you tasted the unconventional yet traditional snacks rather than just the popular ones. I enjoy your videos! I can't wait for you to try kuih raya which are traditional sweet biscuits/pastries served during the hari raya aidilfitri period

[@ahlorachew7726]

Ohhh yea, the Roller Coaster potato snacks~ Back in the day we used to wear them like rings and pretend to propose to each other HAHAHAH. There's another potato snack that you can find in Singapore, its almost white, and it looks like little wheels. They're very light and crispy. Those are good if you can find the correct brand (some brands don't season them as nice). Its lightweight, you can eat the entire packet without feeling full (I've accidentally overeaten on many occasions) Speaking of Muruku, there are actually many other types of muruku, I personally love that one you were trying, and the smaller bright orange one, and the big swirly one, so maybe you'll want to try them once the circuit breaker lifts. =D Wait, have you tried the Gem Biscuits? Those were basically the childhoods of so many Singaporeans, ahhhh the nostalgia... Salted Egg Fish skin was raging in Singapore for awhile, for some reason, the taste of salted egg matches so well with fish skin. I know there are potato chip versions out there, but for me, the fish skin version is always the nicest. As for the berlinjau crackers, sometimes we call it Emping. There are some that are coated in a sweet chilli sauce. Actually, I think its difficult to find in Singapore, but in Indonesia, they sell un-fried Emping. So people literally fry it fresh at home and lightly salt it. I believe it tastes a lot nicer fresh because sometimes Emping, if left too long, the oil its fried in can go rancid, and with its already mild taste, bad oil is the last thing you'd want to taste when enjoying snacks. Also, for the white rabbit milk candy, that translucent paper is actually rice paper.

[@zac08]

Belinjau crackers are traditionally eaten with sambal chilli as a snack before meals. The prawn rolls are a must-have for Chinese New Year celebrations. If you dun quite enjoy fish crackers (aka keropok), you can try the prawn or lobster flavoured ones.

[@cookiemonst3rr]

Thanks for all the effort to create content during this period!!!

[@FFKuroNeko]

Did the Sheng Song Cashier Auntie gave you the weird look when she is scanning every snack? XD

[@GhibOjisan]

I think she looked jealous 😂

And wheel crackers + prawn (pepper) crackers

[@shingekinoeren5867]

Love your videos, your singlish is really getting better and better with each passing video xD

That yogurt meal looked amazing Ghib bro, just when I was thinking of what to do with my chia seeds.

[@barang23]

Of all the Brands, which one do u think Japanese will like? I can buy it for my Japanese friends next time. Thanks!

[@GhibOjisan]

Fish muruku, hands down! Prawn roll also nice if your friend likes drinking 🍺

[@carolinechai3176]

My Japanese friend loves prawn roll. I buy it for her each time I visit. :)

[@alastairtan9824]

You know Singapore so well! Everything you described is accurate! Oh yes, white rabbit sweet is a nostalgic candy for most Singaporeans as it reminds us of our childhood!

[@colan263]

One of the most sincere and real youtubers around. You have my best wishes buddy 🍻👍

[@R3inea]

You should try all the Malay snacks since it's Ramadan now.

[@opticalsoap]

oh yes he should. all the kuehs too.

[@zakeibc]

Yes the cookies etc!

[@wafierocks7549]

Oooh that would be awesome!!

[@任-v9t]

Nice vid Ghib very fun and interesting

[@sharongoh1030]

Now he has to... 1) clean up the mess, if not the insects would come (cringed when bits dropped messily lol) 2) air the room 3) finish all these insane amounts of junk food 4) workout like mad to burn those calories off Also, love how this video is subtly him battling with opening the packets. The look of exasperation was priceless. xD

[@singaporechemistry]

Try the Curry flavour of Twisties. Brown color bag. You might like it.

[@narutofreak95]

I’m a Singaporean and even I’m not sure which snacks are truly ‘Singaporean’ so no worries! 😝 This was rly fun to watch!

[@zakeibc]

Aww the sticky sweet chilli tapioca chips are my favorite! They're so addictive for me

[@valeriewong2956]

If you do a part 2, some popular snacks/ones I liked when I was young: - super ring - corntos - biscuit piring (round wafer) - apollo wafer & stick wafer - ice gems - tasty sticks (tasty is the brand) - yanyan - chicken in a biscuit - polar snack (hollow animal crackers) - horlicks tablets - ribena/frutips pastilles - wheel crackers - mamee - has flakes - dried sour plum - fish ball keropok - malt candy - hup seng cream crackers (with milo!!) - khong guan assorted biscuits - tao kae noi seaweed - double decker chips - push pops if they still exist - miaow miaow green pea snack (underrated af) - monster & warhead sweets - wang wang senbei (salty) - wang wang shelly senbei xuebing (sweet) - wang wang haidai (seaweed) - wang wang cheese rice crackers - wang wang mini milk/egg biscuit (not too sure its actual name but it melts in your mouth) Obviously I ate a lot of wang wang

[@holybell84]

Healthy, fruity breakfast at the start... All the unhealthy snacks gathered in one place immediately lol

[@tsugumi3615]

Thank you for sharing review with Singapore snacks! I wanna try some.When I went back to Japan last year, I gave popo and prown rolles to my family and friends as souvenirs. They really liked it.

[@shan2lu]

Very interesting content. The chilli tapioca, your least favorite is My favorite! Lol.

[@JohnWilliams-dq8pp]

Hey Ghib, I like your videos so much I watched the entire advert without skipping so you can get paid extra

[@hglim738]

I've never ever seen a review of so many locally available snacks before. lol.🤣👍

[@etvirgo]

Twisties cheese flavour is my no 1 local snack😃 Some of the snacks here I havent try before and I will try cos of your video! Really enjoy this video👍🏼👍🏼 Drink more water and stay safe !

[@oxford285]

you nailed all the snacks! thought you would miss a few but you didn't! great vid!

[@pinkublacku]

Jack and Jill potato chips he missed

[@faeleia]

Omg try cheezels. They are super cheezy. And thanks Ghib, im like exercising but now i want me some snacks! And I'm so happy you incorporated the "jippun lang zao liao" yay! 発音かんぺき！I think other people must have mentioned it too, but I still grateful that you have been so receptive to my suggestions, makes it feel like we're all a family here under lockdown 😁🙏 Say, why don't you do some storytime stuff too, from your past travels? I'm sure you have some interesting tales from all your 公人旅行s.

Ghib-San: great to see you try out different varieties of snacks in SG to share with your Japanese friends. Next should explore our local instant noodles (select a few famous local brands) and make it as a series of videos..

[@matreen427]

12:48 sweet is from sea coconut syrup (for sore throats)

[@gachaponer]

Fun fact : White Rabbit Candy was created in Shanghai, China. That translucent wrapper is rice paper, totally edible!

[@Towkeeyoh]

Got drink now also, I think some convenient stores have. Not sure abt right now though. Pre-covid19 still had

[@yubaa]

@@Towkeeyoh 7-11 still has

[@natashajumari]

Love how you attempted to open every single pack through the middle but end up just tearing them anyway.

[@blipintime]

Seeing some snacks originally from Philippines now sold around Asean - Roller Coaster, Chippy, Piattos!!!

[@ktsl83]

I think you would prefer Twisties a lot more if you choose a different flavour. The green one is the most plain of all the flavours. I always choose other flavours.

[@FenrirWolf361]

I love popo too! I usually buy the party pack and keep one in my bag in case I get hungry at work. Definitely satisfies your need for that tea time crunch

[@charisyahweh]

U need to try Mamee ! A local ramen snack in chicken flavour originally and later year a BBQ flavour too. Its a favourite snack with Spore kids during the 80s and 90s. Heh, now is one of my little girl's favourite with her friends!😉

[@paecpc]

The white rabbit candy and many other snacks have been around since I was a kid in the 70s! The tapioca chips coated with sugary chili that you least like was derived from a Malay snacks that they make at home; tapioca chips with Sambal chili , I used to buy from a Malay family at Bukit Panjang near my primary school and I love it so so much, it was so delicious, can’t find it in Singapore anymore! 😞

[@belinda4827]

Next vid, review on instant noodles pls!

[@HianDenka]

Oh man that line about the curry spice snacks not being found in japan reminded me of my homestay family. I brought some local snacks to give my host family and the okaasan started choking when she tried the savoury spice ones hahahahah

[@niss99mono]

This video got me hungry >_> everything looks so delicious roller coaster has always been my favourite growing up :D twisties too

[@miimii17]

ジブおじ食べおじ！ここのコメント英語たくさん！すごい！そして、お菓子めっちゃ美味しそう~またもお腹すきました😋

[@muhammadshafeeqbinishak1509]

Haha i love watching your sorta analytical objective take. Very insightful and interesting to see someone’s reaction to the snacks that i grew up with. Especially from Japan. Because i love how Japanese culture is so proper with honne and tatemae but i get this casual, real and polite reaction. I also love the last part especially, the durian mochi. Taste very artificial but its $3 sooooo.... shoganai! Wahahaha ahhhh circuit breaker and fasting so here i am watching people eating snacks....Shikata Ga Nai

[@aimeelee6992]

Oooh these are the supermarket snacks, but when the covid situation is over you should visit biscuit king along upper thomson road, it does all of the traditional biscuits and snacks that Singaporeans used to eat like ice gem biscuits and potato wheels, almost everything is nostalgia heaven in there, plus try their tapioca chips in strip shape and you'll understand the appeal of tapioca chips xD

[@EvezYan]

the only one that I will buy regularly now is the Muruku Ikan which Ojisan opened first. But it comes in 1 big pack consisting of small pkts inside. Always printed with the warning "Beware of Imitation".

[@木村-u6v]

すごく面白かったです！今度お菓子チャレンジしてみます。 タピオカチップスに爆笑でしたｗ シンガポールが大好きで年に何回かいくのですが、やはり在住の方のvlogは面白すぎました。 これからもたのしみにしてまーす！

[@ki8115]

シンガポールのお菓子凄く美味しそうです！✨HELLO PANDAはどっちかと言うとコアラのマーチよりも、パックンチョに似てますね！！でも、meijiの商品だから元を辿るとポポロンなんですかね！🍫

[@domdidomdidomdidom]

Chippy and Piattos are actually snacks from the Philippines, Ghib! Both are classics here too. :)

[@bosima0]

You took the mala flavour for the fish skin so it's spicier than usual haha. You should try the original flavour from golden duck or irvins :)

[@ILUVBAKKUA]

Berlinjo can be very addictive and sold out in many places, because it's a bean it's one of the few non sugary/carbo snacks mostly working adults and grown ups eat it.

[@elinegoh2375]

Belinjo nut crackers (Emping) has a bitter aftertaste but those who likes it find them addictive, especially the type that coated with chillies and sugar. Another addictive snack is Lay's potato chips in salt and vinegar flavour. You can hardly stop until you finished at least half the packet once you started.

[@sherwingalapon1740]

Brings back childhood days. Although PIATOS, CHIPPY and rollercoaster are from Philippines. Glad you like it. 😁

[@MikeyJJJ]

10:30 that's a tiger lol (notice the stripes). Quick note: the tiger's a symbol of Malaysia, while yes, the lion is a symbol for Singapore. Our coat of arms features both a lion and a tiger to show our historic ties with Malaysia.

[@namso349]

All the snacks are imported. Mostly from Malaysia. Some from Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, etc. It makes business sense as the costs are so much lower in those countries than producing them in Singapore. Hence the low price when buying them at our local stores. My favourite is the emping belinjau @6:09 Belinjau tree species can reach up to 20 m in height and populations in the wild are Critically Endangered in Singapore. However the trees are grown along the roadsides in huge numbers. The kernel of the seed is flattened, dried and fried into a crisp known as emping or emping belinjau, which are often flavoured to be salty, sweet or slightly spicy, as the crisp tastes bitter on its own.

[@boyboiboi2317]

nailed it with the first choice!

[@Semarngiseng]

Belinjau is usually eaten as a side dish with Nasi Padang. You can eat it as a snack but it gets bitter but as a dish with Nasi Padang chicken gravy and rice it’s the bomb.

Missed opportunity, singapore snacks are Hainanese Chicken Rice Potato Chips and Laksa Potato Chips. They are purely Singapore snacks. Fish Murukku, Snek Ku, Twisties, Roller Costers are from Malaysia.

Pola snack, twisties, meiji, white rabbit candy are probably the only few i eat (Only those i love). Missing iced gem, potato wheels, Apollo Chocolate Wafer Was looking for prawn crackers (Keropok) too. Not sure if its Singapore snack but i love this.

[@darkilkbakaiseijin8911]

Yay~ but also noooooooo~ Circuit Breaker time is best and worst time to snack and gain weight for me! hahaha~ some of my childhood snacks also appeared in your vid, as well as some new ones for me to consider (AFTER Circuit Breaker when I can work off extra calories lol). Thanks again for this lovely video to take a break from WFH work. Stay safe~~

[@So_So]

Ghib I think the Popo snack is from Malaysia. Whenever we travel to Malaysia by bus or car, my family would buy it from from one of the many stop-overs along North-South expressway. You need to give the tapioca chips a second chance, try a different brand (Singapore Houten).

[@nikoji4257]

All your videos are really interesting. Love your personality. Good person. 👍👏🙏❤️

[@K_mich88]

the berlingo chips goes well dipped in indonesian sweet soya sauce (kechap manis) =) or it's normally put on top of indonesian salad called gado gado , or put in soups such as soto as a topping.

[@maryamh.8212]

Belinjau laaa

[@studystac8522]

You should try every snack for the different cultural celebrations! Like right now it's Ramadan or upcoming Mid Autumn festival :D

[@ivanlimzg]

Do you visit the neighbourhood provision shops? sometimes you might see some snacks there you wouldn't find in a supermarket

[@muhammadmd2148]

Most snack packaging over here in SG/MY don't tear open along the top, sadly. It's cooler to eat the snack while holding the packaging the right way up. That's why you were having a hard time opening them "the right way".

[@edamame5540]

If I'm not mistaken, that Popo muruku snack is from Malaysia. In fact quite a number of items featured in this vid are from Malaysia - Jack 'n Jill, Twisties, Shoyouemi & the fish/prawn cracker, rabbit milk candy, tapioca/cassava chips @ ubi kayu (in Malay) & kerepek belinjau.

[@smartfella5949]

Hello Ghib , will you please create another video on Don Don Donki Japanese snack review? I am sure a lot of us have not fully tried each and every Japanese snack there. I am a huge fan of Jagarico , potato sticks in a cup. Butter flavor, Umeboshi, Salada, Edamame flavours. What are your favourites? Hear from you soon!

[@pinkbutterfly0509]

@12:40 - the hard candy is like a OTC lozenges for when you need to sooth your throat. also in singapore, we have various brands of salted egg fish skin - they taste very different. and when you see a snack that has 'muruku' on it - it is an indian snack. What did you do with all the remaining snacks??!!

[@kasihpretzel]

Gonna Try It too 😊

[@wumingkkk]

The next mission is drinks! lol
