Island Hotel & Fan MEET-UP in Singapore

[@DanSurprise]

It is a Merlion (Sea Lion). It is an icon of Singapore, a mythical creature with a fish's body and a lion's head.

[@protocolofficer2629]

Dan Surprise I noticed it was in a nautilus shell! Fascinating!

[@sanchaofgo]

How could he not know about the Merlion???? That's like the symbol of Singapore isn't it?

[@jonathan746]

Lol merlion is not a shrimp

[@offthehook1001]

anyone else would know. But Mike is so food focused! He thinks Laksa is the national symbol.

[@RaymondChia_Silaqui]

It was said that the Merlion (Sea Lion) was designed with the legend of the founding of Singapore. The Lion represents the name, Singa stands for Lion and Pura City. The Mermaid tail represents how Singapore started as a port of call and it stands as a maritime focus city.

[@intsccents]

so I do agree with you Singaporeans are the most friendly and helpful people I have ever meet in all my travels now wonder even there airport has the highest customer rating in the world .. hats off to Singapore for making any visitor welcome ...L.A Rob

[@jackiefloretan]

You are in Sentosa! Yes I also have travelled to almost all places in the world, and Singapore is one of my top 3 favorites too! Of course, my family lives there so that plays a role too. I live now between Germany and Northern Virginia just outside DC, but really, Singapore is top of my Asian list! Btw you look like a younger version of Jackie Chan! Have a great flight back, Mike.

[@totoluca]

That cocktail in the apple was so cool.

[@hahahahahhaaegg7465]

kaisoo o hi there 🌚

[@evfdurs]

[@pinkribbon1007]

evfdurs 😂

[@skyhawk551]

That lion shrimp plush is called Merlion it's kinda like Singapore's national animal or mascot.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Another lovely hotel! Congratulations on such a fun holiday! I was not surprised that so many people turned up, even if the notice was late. Your videos ROCK!

[@jdu127channel3]

I have been a fan of this channel for over 4 months.Nice channel dude keep it up.

[@indirapoitier338]

... you didn't get to use the bathtub... Mikey I would have used it even if it was just a hotspring...... so what did you guys do at the meet up?

[@gabmay1682]

Indira Poitier I'd like to know what the multi-spray shower was like

[@hangthanh9534]

[@hangthanh9534]

[@mrs.j.p.d]

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

[@pinkribbon1007]

AHH I MISSED IT i only found ur channel recently too late already😭

[@justhappenedtowalkby3709]

This is his 'side channel', you should check out his main channel - *Strictly Dumpling*

[@diptimu4016]

chan dynesty

[@pinkribbon1007]

oooo i watch both before but i prefer this vlogs and food so much more but i do watch strictly dumpling once a while tho as for chan dynasty 1 only watch 1 so i can't judge lol

[@sarafray]

Awww, Mike, everyone was so excited to see you!

[@ideal2334]

unlimited shiitake mushrooms!, also Mike do you need to have a big youtube channel for the hotel to let you stay free?

[@MsCherade9]

Tonnes of people! So pleased, I can't wait for you to come to Scotland!

[@benjaminker8169]

Your videos really let people from all around the world to see how great Singapore foods were! Once again thank you for coming to Singapore!

[@reilea9977]

Only 9 minutes and 34 seconds? aww man, needed more time, wanted to see what that fancy dessert looked like in the middle. 💙

[@protocolofficer2629]

Thanks for another great series. Thanks, not, for another two or three pounds. I get so envious seeing you eating some of my favourite food, I have to go and find it. Crab is my all time must eat food followed by lamb. I am searching for a chilli crab resto which I believe one can get in Toronto, so wish me luck! Hope you enjoy(ed) your trip hime. Stay safe and I look forward to your next food adventure. Cheers, Colin.

[@rfgwd]

I like how you choose each of your hotels. they each gives a different feeling

[@seokdoespilates]

The W Hotel is one of the best hotels I've stayed at. I'm so bummed I missed on your fan meet up!!

[@ilovegermany99]

Thank you for having content I can watch with my kids! Travel on friend.

[@ngatiramona]

Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic Singapore series with us. The resort looked amazing, cannot wait to see the buffet and your review. Lol shrimplion was darling! Are you allowed to keep it? Hope so. ❤❤❤

[@TravellerYT]

Nice that your fans got a chance to meet you live! Have an amazing time in lovely Singapore! Best Regards from Maxi and Maro.

[@akimomoq12]

cant belive I m hear this early again!!! I hope pho the love channel is blooming which Im sure it is. have a happy vacations Mikey Chen!

[@qinwenho972]

LOVE how Mike described the Merlion toy as a 'Shrimp'. Never thought of the Merlion that way, but now I can't unsee it. HAHA!

[@toggtlas7099]

Man, that hotel went above and beyond. Cheesy PR trick? Well. It worked. I'm impressed. Well done, W Hotel.

[@blakebradham5006]

I love your videos Mikey!

[@pauljean-pierre7254]

Hi it started out as a great video how was the food at the new hotel? all those people you met at the mall did you guys have a good time or what? Mike still love you bro!

[@stefincanada]

Mike, Why don't you do a fan meetup meal next time. Just pick a cheap place to eat at a mall or something (that has a good rating of course!) and tell the fans day/time/price and get together for a quick laid back meal. It will be fun to see everyone's reactions to the food as well! PS I was at the grocery store today and I bought that exact flavor of Jarritos soda - I've never had it before but I am excited to try it. Glad to know I picked the tasty one :) Love the vids keep them coming!

[@nchandra1025]

Agree with Mike if only Singapore didn't have that kind of humidity. I would love to live in there! but still Singapore is awesome!

[@jacquelinewee7223]

Yea we're stuck with the humidity, u know how some ppl hop from one heated building to the next when it's too cold? We hop from one air-conditioned building to the next when it's too hot! :-)

[@kiranabloom5384]

basically we need to stay indoor with ac on in Singapore! lol

[@huaiwei]

Actually many of us locals can't stand the weather either. :D We are called an "air-conditioned nation" for a reason! :D

[@denisefletcher1608]

Lived here all my life, but still can't take the humidity 😰

[@johnong75]

Maybe an underground city will solve the heat and humidity? Well they are planning to build one, but i won't be able to see it.

[@Leoleo-dz2xs]

Hotels look.Awesome food did aswell

[@darlanoz3788]

Do you think you will ever come to Australia Mikey? Great food! Great people! ;)

[@amyrivers9792]

What an awesome way to welcome you to the hotel. Modern technology at its best.

[@PLIngrezs]

Hey Mike, thanks for visiting Singapore. The lion mermaid is called a merlion.

[@acajudi100]

I stayed at The Shangri La Resort for two weeks. I loved Newton Hawker Center, and Air Singapore and Singapore.

[@DocFear]

You're awesome Mike!!

[@ryanhoqihan6473]

Omg I can't believe u went to Sentosa I live around that area and it's amazing, you should visit the maritime museum from there u can go to the Sea aquarium btw I love your vids!

[@Gighi208]

"Japan and Singapore, top of the list," Mike Chen, 2017. Hi5

[@ChannelLogic]

From singapore love your video mike omg you post 18 it was yesterday i miss it :( omg my friends were there abd they didnt told me nvm man just glad you enjoy your stay in singapore man go otgw go double chen go strickly dumpling go mikey chen :)

[@nathanrockett4662]

Awesome videos mike!!! You should make plans to visit the UK!

[@sahm32323]

I missed it! Damn.was working that night mikey.

[@yunrukhiat607]

Welcome to Singapore Mr Mike.. Enjoy your time to our place

[@mistyvioletconservative.3889]

Ok, now we're talkin MIkey....... I jsut subscribed here, I much prefer the slower pace of these videos than the fast pace, chaos of the other channel dumplings.

[@mistyvioletconservative.3889]

Not bad chaos, but well, u know what I mean..... This is nice where we can see more of the surroundings, details, atmosphere & the ambience of the places you visit....... ✌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@windyyuu3751]

im enjoying when you show people about your hotel room u should make this kind of video more

[@chalayan]

Buffet at the W Sentosa is pretty good. Stayed at the hotel once with the private plunge pool, and you should try the spa. W spa is one of the best.

[@evana3813]

I want to live in Singapore

[@jeanettedoesgames6467]

Boba Bros you gotta deal with the humidity first

[@lee.rants.about.everything]

No you dont. 95% of Singaporeans have never experienced this luxury for themselves. If they do get to visit this island (Sentosa), you most likely have to stay at Michael or Festive hotel, the two cheapest and smallest hotels available there. :'(

[@PearlF1966]

I really enjoyed watching your channel, especially on Singapore (cos it's my country) and that you love the food here. Actually W Hotel has a great steak house called the Skirt, hope you had a chance to eat there as well. If not, that's a good reason for you to visit us again.

[@angelikasheffield2259]

love all your videos

[@dawnho7744]

Do visit Singapore again!

[@elizabethchopyk6623]

Hello I just wanted to say I so enjoy your videos from High prairie ab Canada. Keep up the great work😃

[@tayjessica1111]

Wow you really stayed in the best hotels in SG! So glad you had a good time! :) If you ever come back again, do stay at Equarius hotel!

[@MrKmoconne]

I'm starting a drinking game where we have to take a drink of alcohol every time Mike mentions he doesn't drink alcohol.

[@mdsyafiq9849]

Too bad mike can't play since he doesn't drink alcohol

[@nookayfine]

i died from alcohol poisoning

[@цветок-ш7п]

John Doe HAHAHA I'LL BE DRUNK

[@MrKmoconne]

I started already. This game extends into his future videos. It's up to you how much alcohol you drink since he keeps making the point he doesn't drink alcohol. It's up to us fans to make up for his lack of alcohol drinking.

[@gyubur]

I can't drink alcohol. I'm 13...

[@xochitlgonzalez8776]

Ah man watching your adventure in other countries have opened me up to exploring other cultures and countries. I'm afraid of change and new places but wow you make it all seem so fun. Thinking of visiting Singapore for my 2nd honeymoon! Thank you and I love ur videos!

[@leslieho199]

So glad you had a great time here in sunny humid singapore. Pity i missed you this time round as i was on business trip. Let me know next time you visit, I will give you a pleasant surprise.

[@meowmeowthia]

OH MANSSSSSSSSS i wish i was there at the meet up. PLEASE COME BACK TO SINGAPORE IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN

[@SuccessforLifester]

There is a foodcourt at the basement. The one at the meet up is a higher class food court but it does have more spacious space outside the foodcourt area

[@theDrzhivargo]

this hotel is nice too....

[@CTChipmunk]

Is Singapore really that humid?

[@nitzching9298]

Wow how I wish I could join you there!!! Congrats!!!

[@pandamoon8067]

Nice hope you enjoy Vietnam whenever you go I'm going to Vietnam November 6

[@boiledpotato9826]

Singapore? Mike? Imma like this video even before watching :)

[@yoboyblitz]

@Mikey Chen Why don't you drink bro? Also who makes your dope background music?

[@mangoberrypink3635]

Hope you come back to Singapore soon.

[@carrydaddy6432]

[@MrSmileyFella2]

[@Diana-if8qd]

Mike, try out Today Calendar, it syncs with your Google calendar. And if you have an Android device they have a widget you can put on your home screen that can show your agenda for an entire month. Pretty useful.

[@cpc5637]
