Hi! I’m Singaporean. Love the positive vibes and filming style in your vlogs. Thumbs up on making effort to interact with the local people and service staff. Actually most of the F&B and retail staff are foreign workers from neighbouring countries. Cost of living in Singapore is indeed high compared to other neighbouring Asian countries besides Japan, Korea and Taiwan. However our salaries are also much higher, hence attracting a lot of migrant workers here. Also, with our strong Singapore dollars, Singaporeans can stretch their dollars when visiting other countries to shop and eat. Hence, I feel the pain of tourists from non-first world and undeveloped countries visiting us. Anyway, hope you have a great and rewarding time in Singapore as you immerse yourself in our unique multi-racial environment and diverse culture and food experiences. Stay safe and have fun. ❤

[@romyhamid1888]

Really? Seems like any other vloggers je….they assume and deliver the wrong information. Western vloogers mostly .

[@prisca0065]

​@romyhamid1888 Yes, a lot of the service staff are foreigners from developing countries or from our neighbour, Malaysia. I find the Finipinos very courteous and customer oriented. There are also a lot of Finipinos nurses, therapists in our hospitals and clinics. Of course there are also professionals in our workforce who are not Singaporean.

[@myertravels]

Thanks for the detailed insight and kind words!

[@romyhamid1888]

@@prisca0065 when they are immigrants , they are automatically more courteous because they are living in a foreign country. They dont want trouble pr they will be kick out of the country

[@reddotdiva]

I used to work near the Sultan Mosque. It's the only mosque in Singapore that is allowed to have outward loudspeakers for the call to prayer. I'm a non-Muslim but it was so peaceful to hear it. I miss working in that area. I love that you interacted with so many of us while you are exploring our island. It's an antithetical display of what so many influencers like to say about us - that we are surly, boring and unfriendly.

[@raspberry_scareglow]

Kampung Glam or Gelam is basically the face of the Muslim community. If you’re looking for the heart, you should check out Geylang Serai, which you should have gone to while you were in Katong. Oh well!

[@popskyi1]

I am Singaporean but to be fair, all Southeast Asians are friendly and one advantage about Singaporeans is that most of us speak English which makes it easier to communicate compared with other South East Asia Countries.

[@myertravels]

This is true

[@aniraz90s]

Honestly, Kampung Gelam is a tourist area. Everything is quite expensive there. I usually go to Geylang Serai around Joo Chiat Road to get affordable food and Muslimah clothes. Majority are Muslims over there as well and mostly from Malaysia and Indonesia. Kampung Gelam have mostly Arab Muslims that's why there's Turkish, Lebanese, Mediterranean food, etc. You can get Malay food at Geylang Serai Market. Their nasi padang, satay, all very nice. But need to go in the morning around 9-11am. Most stall will close by 4pm or earlier.

[@25MUGEN]

Geylang hawker centre is closed for renovation sis till november

[@myertravels]

I'll keep that in mind when I go next time! 😊

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

Mr. Myer:I can’t wait to watch your amazing new video this morning from Singapore City, Singapore this week in October of 2024❤❤❤Thanks you so much for this great video this week in 2024❤❤❤

[@myertravels]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@sofiane2684]

Thanks for this informative video, good job bro, I’ve just arrived in Singapore as a visitor and i’m ready to explore the beauty of this muslim area.

[@kbmkbmz]

Food in Singapore cost more because of higher overhead - mainly rental, staff salaries, ingredients are mostly imported. The rental alone can kill the business. Better not compare prices with other Asian countries as overhead there cost much lower. Just get what you wish to eat and just talk about the food, compare the quality and taste here in Singapore and the other countries. The murtabak here is made differently than in Malaysia. If you compare, Tasneem's murtabak is even different than next door Zam Zam's and Victory's. Personally, I prefer Zam Zam's murtabak.

[@joyoftessa]

The thing is you can find cheap food. Its just that u are in touristy areas with jacked up prices. If u go to hawker centres or explore the heartlands, a murtabak can be $5

[@kamariahabdrahim6963]

Muslim is 15.6%, and Malay is 13.5%.

[@romyhamid1888]

Like in UK also , not all malays , Pakistani are islam . They murtad and convert to christian

[@lisa.hingco]

I love Arab Street. So excited for your vlogs, enjoy your stay in Sg!😅

[@myertravels]

Thank you!! 😊

[@myertravels]

🎉

[@keanes5796]

Myer really skipped all the hawker centres in the last 3 episodes. Hope you can enjoy the food at Geylang Serai, Tekka Centre, Sims Vista next time at half the price or less. Halal Thai, halal Italian, halal Brunch and halal Dim Sum are also available within 30min bus ride at different price point.

[@JSimHZ]

Cendol/Chendol is typically served either in a cup or in a bowl, depending on the stall. The green strands in the dessert is called Cendol/Chendol. The brown-coloured sugar used in Cendol/Chendol is called Gula Melaka or Palm Sugar. If you want your drink to be less sweet (less sugar), you can tell the seller 'Kurang Manis'. 'Kurang' means less or reduced in Malay, while 'Manis' means Sweet in Malay. I am not sure about other people, but a medium sized Murtabak can fill up the stomachs of my parents and I. So far, I haven't come across anyone having 1 Murtabak all to themself, the portion is actually good enough for sharing. So far the places that you visited in this video are very touristy in nature, so that's why the items you bought were quite expensive. For delicious and affordable Halal hawker food, try going to Geylang Serai Food Centre, Haig Road Food Centre or Tekka Centre. These hawker centres are excellent options for budget travellers, because the $10 you spent on the Murtabak can get you around 2 to 3 meals at a hawker centre.

[@MeditateRelaxRepeat]

Love me a Myer travels video!!

[@myertravels]

Thank you!!

[@sharifahfauziah9463]

Masyaallah hope you are enjoying your stay in Singapura 😊

Im alway waiting for your videos so well done especially visiting Kampong Glam and talking to locals ..that what travelling should be like

[@myertravels]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@zeafniffira7935]

Been following you on instagram and watching your videos, i can tell you i'm happy that you are finally here in my country!!

[@myertravels]

Thank you for the warm welcome!

[@IZTheOne]

These coffee shops are a little pricey compared to hawker centers mainly due to their location and size. Therefor you're paying almost restaurant prices "almost". Hawker centers are the heart of Singapore culture. You can visit Geylang Serai market where a lot more Muslim foods are offered. Other hawker centers in Singapore usually has halal options even in the heartland in public housing areas due to Singapore's demography. Enjoyed you interactions with the locals we are friendly if you are not shy to approach us haha!

[@myertravels]

Thanks for the tips! 😊

[@Kushal6831]

Love your video's ❤❤😊 amazing Singapore series 😊

[@MCWM-z1x]

Thank you for another fantastic video! For even cheaper food, you may want to explore the traditional heartlands such as Toa Payoh or Ang Mo Kio where most people live in HDB flats. Most of the cheap foods in Singapore can be found in the amazing hawker centres and "coffeeshops" where you will find different stalls selling a variety of food. Coffeeshops are usually found in a housing estate below a flat. Hawker centres and markets are found in the town centre. In general, every hawker centre or coffeeshop will feature some halal food. Or you can also explore a newer estate such as Punggol with plenty of amenities and activities but the area will be comparatively more expensive than the traditional heartlands.

[@tinateh]

Muslim food in Ang Mo Kio is not cheap. Cost more than in other housing estates.

[@applehead7942]

Hawker centres and wet market are everywhere in the heartlands. Not just at town 😂

[@myertravels]

Great suggestions! I'll make sure to check those places out!

Nice video! For food you should try heartland hawker Centers is way cheaper

[@myertravels]

Appreciate the recommendation!

[@extremers7047]

Yeap it's a bit pricey here compared to our neighbours. Hope you are enjoying Singapore! Great to stumble upon ur channel!

[@myertravels]

Thanks for watching! It’s definitely more expensive here!

[@yuricupcakesify]

You can go to Changi beach and their hawker center which provides you nice and cheap food.

[@ireitman1087]

Love this, I recommend going to geylang serai if you want a less touristy environment but a muslim area as well

[@myertravels]

Video coming soon!

[@manseb5211]

Its great to watch yr vlog tht depict yr interaction with the locals. Its amazing right on how ppl starts to open up to you when you start having a small talk with them as a Malay saying goes there wont be any love between strangers if we dont know them.

[@myertravels]

It’s truly amazing how open and friendly people are, it’s a big part of what I love about traveling!

[@Amiromarketer]

I like that you promote businesses you liked. I keep returning to you're video since Ethiopia video which my home land you're absolutely correct when you talk about our coffee with yemni

[@mickeylim640]

Likely, the lychee drink & Mutabak in your case is considered 'restaurant' price. You try another location / hawker.. to make some comparison.

1:40 you’ll see the spot known for its famous nasi biryani-either chicken or mutton-called “Zam Zam Restaurant.” And if you walk just 5 minutes from there, you’ll find Hjh Maimunah Restaurant, serving up authentic, halal, and absolutely mouth-watering dishes.

[@sharifahfauziah9463]

27:30 Locals prefer the Zam Zam Restaurant just a few doors away from Tasneem. They have been around since 1908. Their murtabak is priced from $7. You missed the chance to eat at the famous Zam Zam.

[@25MUGEN]

No longer $7 bro.

[@romgozaimas]

@@25MUGEN Chicken is from $7 onwards. Used to be $6, $10. Now smallest is $7, medium $11, $15 upto $20.

You should try go to the heartlands of SIngapore. Just take the MRT and go to heartland neighbourhoods like Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Tampines, Chua Chu Kang, Jurong/ Boon Lay, Woodlands for example. You will get cheaper food at the food courts all over the heartland neighbourhoods.

[@myertravels]

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to try out one of those food courts!

[@m1r4m1]

May i suggest you go to geylang serai. More halal options!

[@myertravels]

Great suggestion! Video coming soon

[@MadefromJava]

Masha'Allah bro, I enjoy seeing the places I missed out on our visit there. Not sure if you're still in Singapore, but if you get a chance check out Changi Beach / Changi Village. It has a very chill vibe and probably the best Nasi Lemak I ever tried.

[@myertravels]

I'll add it to the list!

[@fastpace386]

Nice insight into Singapore! I like your watch brother which one is it?

Where’d you get your black shirt? Looks cool and comfy btw

[@yoonchongong8914]

Singapore is expensive due to the high rental. Food that costs 2 to 3 dollars now costs 5/6 dollars for a packet of chicken rice in a hawker centre. I also see that you eat at any random store. You have to walk around to check the prices. Just one foodstall does not give the local price.

[@myertravels]

Yes it’s true Singapore is expensive but there are some deals to be had. I like to explore and try different places but you’re right it’s always good to price check!

[@oraza66]

You are not wrong towards end of video that Spore's cost of living is among the highest in the world despite situated in SEA.. Its had been the financial center taking the opportunity of huge natural resources from surrounding countries with good governance and efficient in doing business

[@darrenpereira2190]

Bro, go to the town like toa payoh, bedok and ang mo kio . Take a mrt to these places. Eat in the hawker centres ,check out the mall in the town area and see how we singaporeans live. The places u going are tourist area . Remember ask around when in doubt. We singaprean attire is t shirt, shorts , sling bag and slippers. Don wall around in jeans and shirt. Will get heat stroke, know? 😂 fyi, real coffee in singapore only cost $1.50. I see u pass so many coffee places.

[@myertravels]

Great suggestion! I'll check those areas out next time 😊

[@blackroze1980]

Yakun Kaya and Toast box coffee is less than $2 and 👍🏻. Just tell them Kopi Siu Tai(less sugar). Enjoy the rest of your stay cutie!😘

[@Finggy]

Is Singapore a niqab friendly country

[@kalmd2443]

Most local Malays were not from Malaysia.. they were already living here… or some from nearby island of Indonesia…we were once one nation called Malaya before we split in 1965. Our history are closely linked.We had people from China, India middle East who came to trade and married locals.. After independence.. some stayed in Singapore some move to Malaysia vice versa.. some move to Indonesia …that’s why our culture, our food, our language are similarly mixed. We could move around before independence between 2 countries freely

[@Amiromarketer]

I wonder how many country you visit

[@kamariahabdrahim6963]

How much the price of Murtabak that big in Malaysia?

[@yoonchongong8914]

You talk to people when they are busy. You must observe properly. The vendors seem friendly because you are buying from them. I dont think its necessary to flatter Singapore too much.

[@Hornscope]

Amazing how rich countries are expensive while poor countries are very cheap. Being in a rich country doesn't improve local people's lives. Something in Brunei a very country, but people are struggling

None of the things in kampung Glam is cheap . Is a tourist spot.

[@rozanawilliams8942]

Most Muslims here are Javanese fyi

[@tinateh]

Not really true. There are many local Malays of different ethnicities, not just Bugis or Javanese or from Sumatra or Sulawesi. They lived in different kampungs throughout the island and had specific occupations or trades before the government took back the land and relocated everyone into subsidised housing. The British actually documented all the Malay peoples in Singapore and published an article on it in one of the newspapers back in the early 20th century.

[@NoohCee]

There are no longer a haggling culture in Singapore. 99% stalls are fixed price.
