Japanese University Students SHOCKED by Singapore Street Food

[@恵麗奈松永]

貴重な体験をさせて頂き有難うございました！ドリアンの魅力にもっと沢山の方が気付きますように❤ Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing experience! I miss durians hahaha

[@yiyanlin284]

Are you the lady who likes it immediately? Durian splits humans into 2 types. Those who love it and those who hate it. You're definitely the first! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Hope you like it here.

[@SonicBrat]

They are so adorable and authentic. Appreciate their reactions more than if they had tried to be polite or kind about it.

[@tohkiatboon]

if they tried to be polite then it wouldnt be authentic anymore

[@lenett9541]

Chempedak is quite similar to jackfruit rather than durian. As for drinking from the shell, actually we add salt to the water and drink from the center edge away from the sharp thorns. I was told that durian is heaty so you drink salt water to neutralise the heat, something like that.

[@simplyme3306]

yes add salt to remove heatiness

[@wendaleong1103]

I rub my fingers against the white of the skin to get rid of the smell and it really works. Then rinse it off. I don’t usually use gloves eating when durians at home. 😋

[@exs1803]

Yes salt water is good. The other antidote is actually another fruit, mangosteen (purple in color) Both of the fruits are available in the same season. Delicious too.

[@glennchua9043]

Exactly.

[@sktokyo9457]

What a fun video 😂 loved their reaction trying all the local foods. Just shows how diverse Singaporean foods can be and different from Japan!

Rojak’s sauce is made with prawn paste, asam pulp dissolve in water, sugar, chili paste top with roasted peanut chips. The ingredients are pineapple, cucumber, turnips, cooked bean sprouts, youtiao, & taupok (deep fried bean curd). For moe aromatic taste, sometimes torch ginger bud slices are added. Some vendors also add apple or Jambu slices on request and u pay a little more.

[@IZTheOne]

This was a really fun video. Glad they managed to try Durian haha!

[@feng125]

The lady's pronounciation of YouTiao is spot on. Definitely sounds like an experienced Chinese speaker.

[@FalconWindblader]

I won't be surprised if she actually speaks Chinese

[@chrisl9934]

She looks mixed and she has an English name so maybe you're right.

[@obiwan88]

Have to admit Erina doesn't appear to look like my usual impression of a Japanese face? Perhaps she is from Okinawa region? Thank you very much for your genuine and honest reactions, we appreciate that the most! 皆さん, stay safe and healthy!

[@Ayl3103]

I add salt and water and drink from the husk. It does remove the durian smell from my mouth (fingers too, if I wash in saltwater rubbed mildly in the husk) and heat. Not a myth for me :) But I personally prefer bitter durians rather than the sweet ones. Btw, I like the Japanese students' active vibes, it's nice to see that they're able to voice out what they really think.

[@willie8452]

What a fun bunch! These students are all so genki 😄😂 💪 Pls show them more around SG! 👏👏

The day that I cross paths with Ghib somewhere in Singapore, I swear imma gonna shout loud loud "Jipun lang Lai Liao!"

[@Banana-cc5rx]

You actually need to add maybe 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the water, it's said to aid with cooling you down from the "heatiness" of the fruit itself while the shell removes the lingering smell

[@shan2lu]

Interesting collab! Makes the content more fun loving!👍

[@GlenRushz]

Keep up the good work Ghib!!!!!

[@user-jb9lc2uw6r]

This is what foreigners who come to Singapore must try. We have so many interesting food here. The Guide is a good Singapore ambassador.

[@TehBasement-j3e]

Love this episode! Well done Ghib! It kinda reminds me of the ones you did with your MIL and Jimmy! It’s so refreshing to watch something different from your usual content 😂

[@johnsonteng982]

Hi Ojisan, I am a 56years old Singaporean. My name is Johnson, your subscriber and viewer. I like to share some interesting info on the proper way of eating Durian.. I used to eat durians with bare hands.. As durian is regarded as a ‘heaty’ fruit, we locals normally eat mangosteen (cooling fruit) to neutralize the ‘heatiness’.. Another way is to drink water with a pinch of salt on the husk to also cool down our body and not to take away the smell as your wife suggested. Now the best part is this, since I’m eating with bare hands, the smell on my hand will be strong.. So I was taught when I was young to wash my hands with running tap water over the reverse side of the husk (spiky portion) onto our hands.. You will be amazed the smell immediately disappear… Hope it’s an interesting info for you.. Cheers!

[@nat3816]

It’s always fun to see foreigners eat durians for the first time! It’s always horrors and surprises…

[@SandwichDoggy]

Trueee durian reactions are so diverse

[@GlowofLife]

Well done Erina! Can see you will be going back for more durians!

[@zenalias3131]

Yes Durian is the true "Rite of Passage" And it's currently durian season if I'm not wrong

[@yong9613]

This is rather good at amateur level, waiting till they start discussing about durian cultivars....🤭

I had the same reaction as the girl when I first tried natto. Was avoiding it till I got it as a punishment for a game and tried it, loved it when I did lol. I ended up eating natto onigiri everyday when I went to Japan 😂

[@wongfm11]

Damn good video. So funny. Kudo to the students for being so sporting.Should try the durian after refrigeration, more yummy. The female student will be a fan of the fruit after the tasting.

[@Agate87]

The vegetable use in Rojak is actually called Jicama, also known as mang guang or mexican turnip. The texture will be crunchier than turnip after cooking and the taste profile is more similar to a fruit rather than a vegetables.

[@safeworld-168yjk]

Love these Japanese young people, so adorable. Hope more of them can come here, learn English, Mandarin, our local cultures. Hope there can be exchange programs between students from both countries, very fun.👍😁

[@ryanseet8314]

The durian thing is not a myth. Wash hands from water down the spikes, removes the smell. It really works. Water from the husk is drunk to equalise the heatiness.

[@sikaing8168]

Yup... Do mix w a bit of salt.... Works better

[@blueraineee]

Omg they have Sakai Takayuki knives in SG?! Sadly I'm in the process of BTOing so I won't have my home until years later. I hope they will still be selling in SG in the future along w engraving services :(

[@junhaoyap8095]

by the way normally the water you put on durian husk, normally I add salt to it to drink after the durian session, you can try too~

[@1changi]

Well, for durians, actually they come from Malaysia. But, Singaporeans are willing to pay good prices to import them. They are seasonal fruit. So, we do not get them whole year round. It is interesting to see the Japanese students reacted to their first encounter with the King of the fruits. May they have an adventurous spirit to try new things to have a richer life experience. They may not be able to experience tasting Musang durian in Japan as the fruit turns bad one or two days after harvest.

[@jemmashome]

It's not for everyone I guess 😆 thanks for sharing, much love from Singapore 💕

[@elmo_yanling]

Very impressed with how you eat durian, like a true blue Singaporean 😂

[@axeef7598]

actually the fruit that you eat from rojak dish is a rojak fruit and also its represents reflect the cultural diversity of Singapore its a good dish for afternoon its good dish to eat with family or friends.

[@jonet001]

These Japanese students are definitely more expressive than the Japanese I met in Japan

[@iqbalmuhammad2920]

From my experience, Japanese express themselves better when they are outside of Japan.

[@hime_ai]

This is really funny, especially the durian part. 😂🤣😂 Also the seed could actually be cooked and eaten. To me I feel chempedak is more like a cousin to jackfruit. You all can try custard apple next time, it's really nice.

[@jaychow3208]

[@ip3vk]

Actually, cempedak is a family of jackfruit & the seeds can be eaten after boiling it. As for durian, the more bitter the better & it is usually orangy-yellow in color. Overall, durian is a nutritional fruit.

[@fooksengloke3625]

Actually the bitter taste in some durian is due to alcohol from fermentation. If eaten too much, it can give you a sore throat. The sweet durian is when it is just ripe and fermentation has not started.

[@cyberwalkerYT]

05:30 I am glad that you said pisang goreng in your video, though the label stated Goreng Pisang. Hahaha

[@noprob7820]

Pour water in the husk and sprinkle some salt in it and stir with a finger. It serves to cool the body down since durians are considered as heaty food.

[@brandenongkp]

These 3 Japanese in spore are more expressive than the Japanese back home .

[@allankor1116]

You should put salt into the durian husk and mix it with water and drink. It's not a myth. That's what the local do after eating durians. The purpose is to expel the heat of the durian so that you would not get sore throat the next day. And continue to eat more.

[@sleepy_dobe]

Ghib-san should have bought the non-chilli version of those food they tried. Rojak and popiah definitely have non-spicy ones. And isn't cempedak jackfruit? Oh, Erina-san likes her durian! Interesting. But Ghib-san, for newcomers to durians, especially those who have an initial dislike/fear of the smell, you should start them on D13 first. It's known to be the best durian cultivar to introduce to first-timers. And you don't drink from the thorns side, you drink from the opposite side where the soft, straight edge is. Also, if you eat without gloves (no Singaporean eat with gloves, urgh, a travesty, an insult to the durian), one way to remove the smell from your fingers after eating is, you put a piece of husk under running water and wash your fingers under the husk. Another way is to use the skin of oranges. 17:39 I think Erina-san is not a pure Japanese.....lol. First time trying durians and she's eating it so enthusiastically and likes it! Lol......just kidding. Am sure she's pure Japanese. And it also looks like she really knows how to eat it clean clean. Her seed looks completely clean of all flesh, just like how most Singaporeans eat their durians.

[@rubricsuxi]

Just think of durian as a type of strong cheese: pungent and definitely an acquired taste. These Japanese students are so sporting and relatable when trying "Fear Factor" food!
