My BEST Singapore EATS EVER! | Marion’s Kitchen

I love the food and beverage diversity Singapore has to offer, but nothing could prepare me for the dishes I discovered on my Singapore Chinatown tour. Heavenly bowls of noodles, the lightest curry puff pastry ever and... wait... TRUFFLES?! Yep, I saw it all; I ate it all. And of course, we drank it all too. Singapore’s cocktail scene really comes to life in Chinatown. Come join me on my Chinatown food tour as I head to hawker centres, cute shophouses and cool neighbourhoods to taste my way round this epicentre of Singapore's food scene.
For the first time, The World’s 50 Best Bars, sponsored by Perrier will be held in Singapore this October, its first time outside of Europe.

Love your enthusiasm towards our local food culture! 😋

[@lovan_travels]

The production value blows me away every time!!!! Yes Marion is the star but shout out to the amazing videographers and editors!!!!

[@christine8203]

Your enthusiasm for trying out the dishes is so infectious that I’m making a note of the eating places for when I’m next in Sg! Thank you! Happy that you love Singapore! 🥰

[@TheShanechristian]

What i love about your food tour in chinatown is that, there are so many varieties in it and you are so open minded to try everything…

[@Marionskitchen]

Glad you enjoyed all the different tastes!

[@hartlecut]

🇨🇦 Nice to revisit some of the tastes of Singapore; I ate SO well when I lived there. Still miss the food, thirty-five years later. I learned to eat durian (unlike many of European descent), even though I never learned to love it, haha. If you want to start a conversation with a Singaporean, just ask where is the best place to get duck rice, or hokkien mee, chili crab, or roti jala (insert favourite food here). Thanks for the memories. ❤️

[@quantafitness6088]

Agree with you. Still miss the food even though over 15 years has passed by now. I did know the best place to get hokkien mee. Wonderful dish that will never taste the same when I make it 😢

[@jamaicanaforeign5326]

Ok, now let's see you recreate that EGG TART moment in your kitchen 😂😂😂😂

[@phantomthread4385]

I grew up here and now in London I miss the food so much. I went there a couple of times recently just to eat. The cravings are real.

[@mayoller8000]

Me too…I love Singapore…the food…the city…everything

[@darlenereisterer5653]

Okay now we need you to recreate these dishes and then share them with us so we can also enjoy the delicious cuisine 🎉

[@krappola1]

One of the best ... appreciate the variety and the way you enjoy the traditions and different.. good ambassador of food that you open people's eyes to them

[@amishgirl1000]

Fantastic Marion. I can’t wait to go to Singapore in November. Yum!!!!!

[@tietan867]

Oh wow. You really make me wanna go back to Singapore soon to eat ❤

I have really enjoyed watching this - your infectious energy livens up the video!

[@srezzy1326]

Oh wow another fabulous armchair tour! Thanks for letting us experience Singapore with you and crew!

[@saladgame]

that egg tart used to be 80c to $1.20 per piece about 15 years ago but right now it is about $2+. It was like a comfort food but the price is no longer comforting.

[@RonLarhz]

Yea ikr. Buy 1=buy 10eggs... I love the flaky Portuguese eggtart but now $2+/pcs...rip tastebuds.

[@mellenix]

Great video - cool locations and delicious food both traditional and modern. Props to the camare guy and editors as well.

[@karenbenavente1124]

Youre making me so hungry Marion 🤤 Those foods look very delicious 😋

[@tad030]

i don't know about durian, but Duran Duran is pretty darn tasty 😄

[@matthew1333]

Wow , really interesting places you have unlock in this food series . Nicely done

[@traciechakraborty3829]

What a tour! I'm sooo jealous. Everything looked so delicious. The yam basket looked like taro puffs, which are my fave dim sum. I agree that the claypot would enhance the sweetness of the crab. As for the Kdogs, I'd be tempted by the creamy egg dog, but I'd HAVE to go w the kimchi dog. Cause kimchi on ANYTHING improves it 1000%. Sorry sauerkraut. But the winning dish of the night has to be the chicken skin- w squid paste-- GENIUS! ABSOLUTE GENIUS!

[@nulnoh219]

Amoy street is so interesting, On one hand you got the Hawker Center $4-$7 noodles, $1.50+ Kopi. Then across the street $20 noodles, $5 specialty coffee.

[@mcrsdad]

If Singapore was that foodie when I was there 40 years ago I wouldn’t have left. I would have found local employment and dug in for the long. J haul. I just love Asian food. Thanks for sharing. As always informative, entertaining and mouth watering.

[@SuccessforLifester]

Actually many food were better 40 years ago and better value. But there weren't many restaurants to choose from. Hawker centres are already in existence.

[@italianlifestyle7911]

I'd have a bite of everything🤩

[@kboyd116]

Great video!

[@gbrown9694]

Our whole family was salivating watching you eat that crab. lol

What a great video again. Could you please do one on Hong Kong, i am planing to go there next year and would love to follow your food-steps :)

[@mingjianhor4145]

Love Singapore food. Its traditional, modern and most importantly the variety is amazing. I was wondering did you really have to eat all of that in One Day?

[@ragnaice]

🤤🤤🤤 I need to start practicing eating with chopsticks, so I can travel to Singapore!

[@Feebeeee]

I want that crab claw so bad! 🤣

[@risquecat]

I really hope you do your version of these foods.

[@aRVeesBlog]

must be fun

[@jennifertan7079]

Wow Marion, I take my hat off to you! You could eat frog legs - not something I would eat!! Glad you enjoyed the different types of food in Singapore! Come back soon 😊😊

[@shanechua8040]

White carrot cake - no soy sauce but it is flavored with fish sauce. The wok is cranked up scary hot and the fish sauce is drizzled down the side sizzling and full of flavour. I love it more than the black.

[@dharas4114]

Im guyanese and I love East Asian and south asian food!

[@terriwensley2824]

Marion, would you ever consider hosting a foodie vacation we can join? I’d jump in on that in a heartbeat. Thank you for sharing your food adventures.

[@Phanonyoutube]

Bitter gourd is in season now in L.A and we have a huge abundance. I will only eat durian if it is ice cold and in other pastries. I don’t love them room temperature

[@SuccessforLifester]

Actually i have not eaten Tong Heng egg tarts before. I asked friends around me and most said the same.

[@lp0896]

please go to malaysia!!

[@Reversedpi]

Tong heng egg tarts are the OG egg tart and probably the best in SG

There’s a soya beancurd filling at Peh Kio old bakery

Hi Marion another great video… can’t see myself ordering a frog dish 🐸 anytime soon tho lol 😂. Didn’t even know people eat frogs!!! Think I’ll stick with chicken 🐔

It's actually pretty good but i still feel squeamish eating it.

You captured the essence of the local food scene in Singapore so well in this short video. I wish everyone would skip all the unresearched haphazard food vlogs and watch this one!

[@manithangavalu7885]

Well, she didn't captured the local food tour, in very well. Only one Malay cuisine and the rest were Chinese. What about indian! She's oblivious that Singapore is multicultural. I'd rather skip her videos and a good representation of Singapore's diverse culture and food.

Hope to check these places out soon! 🎉😊 I'm pinning this video 😂 I'm craving already 😅 Yes, you're a bad Asian! Someone who doesn't like durian 😅... you kidding?

[@missn2410]

Does the first dish you tired, the radish dish, is that vegetarian? Of is there meat inside?

[@bobododo100]

Its usually cooked with eggs so not vegetarian friendly 😅

[@carolinewoffard982]

This is going to sound like a stupid question but is radish cake made with radish?

[@GoodGood-vb8gm]

If you're not rushing for time, I'd like to suggest that you order the food items one by one as all these dishes taste much more delicious when they're served hot. I don't know about others, but for me, when I see a table full of food, I'll become full (not literally) and lose appetite. That's why I like attending Chinese dinner (in Singapore) because the dishes are served one at a time.

[@sidneylock5667]

Chinese dinner (in Singapore) are the worst imo. I can get ready to brush my teeth and sleep by teh time the last dish is served

[@moonieek]

@@sidneylock5667 Depends on the restaurant, you can actually ask them to serve the dishes at your pace.

[@gavint8000]

living in SG all my 47yrs life. i have only eaten 10% of what u ate here....

Same. Possibly only fried carrot cake I have eaten before.

Falafels is my favourite Egyptian food - although there is also a similar dish found in India (~600 BC). 😃

[@deerogers9726]

Curious to know how many days this was filmed over. You're wearing the same dress but there's no way you could have eaten that much in one day.

[@SuccessforLifester]

Quite likely they did it in a day. I think she personally just ate a little for videoing. Maybe the crew may eat too. But I believe a lot of food would be wasted.

[@jenntwithlove1603]

1 trip... split into many videos

[@SuccessforLifester]

I hope the huge selection of food you ordered was shared with your working crew and didnt contribute to food wastage

[@krappola1]

you forgot to deep the craw first then sink your mouth to it.. the crab is called sri lanka mud crab to let people know.. rest of the world think of crab like snow or king crab.

[@ireneesmael5436]

what my mistick why egnor my you gruop

[@stever456]

This is why I'm envious of Asian countries, why does anyone want to come to the UK when you can go there instead..........

[@markjones2781]

Hmm, I'm troubled. There is obviously enough food for 20 people laid out before you on the table and, since you are not larger than the average HDB flat, you don't shove the whole of the cornucopia down your gob. Now I'm sure you have a crew with you to help you out, but where does all the food go? Mukbang with an ASMR has its joys. But gluttony, or alternatively simple waste of food is a sin after all.

That's not Israeli food, that's Palastinian or Lebanese food. You should be cancelled ❌ for this insult

[@Eman-fu8jk]

Always loved your content, I would take out that part about "Israeli" food. Israel is a colonizing state that took over Palestine less than 80 years ago, hence it does not have its own food. Falafel is actually Egyptian it's not even Palestinian, but the rest of what is claimed to be from the colonizing state is Palestinian food. This is not to say that there is no Jewish cuisine, it is authentic to Jews from all around the globe, but not to the colonizing state. When you include snippets like this in your video you participate in the colonization and theft of land, history and culture, as the world now more than even knows the truth about Israel because of the media, not because they just started (they have been committing massacres and genocide since the beginning 70+ years), it not like you as a food content creator who respects food and culture and authenticity to stand with the side that has been committing genocide and as part of this genocide is the attempt to claim Palestinian food as theirs.
