best food review uncle :P

Sitting at my window in England and wishing I could be woofing down those scrumptious morsels of pork and prawns! Oh how I miss my homeland. Amazing how much good food there is and so accessible and reasonably priced! Thank you, Gregory for the share!👍

There’s something iconic in your camerawork that preserves the Singapore and your relax-uncle vibe. Lovely!

[@ji1511]

Love that music at the. start..... N the food. I ve got to check it out. I totally love our Singapore hawker food culture n its what I crave for. The price and quality is not available elsewhere. Thanks for the video n info....

[@TheChosenRed]

You know when Greg looks up after that bite it tastes damn good!

[@simplyme3306]

Their char siew baos are awesome. From $2.50 to $3 I'll say is still worth it as it is literally freshly made. Mind you some dim sum restaurants' baos are from their central kitchen, more expensive and do not taste as good. I will often go there and eat other food while waiting for our number to be called. We will pack a few boxes back. Keep some to re steam another day. Still taste amazing. I've encountered people ordering like 10 boxes of the baos.

This dim sum stall is definitely my go to in Chinatown, in addition to Lim Coffee #02-31, and Baba Peranakan Chai Png #02-225. Thanks again Greg

You should try bukit merah view dim sum near ye lai xiang porridge

[@kartmannchoi9709]

As a cantonese who moved to singapore recent year, I find the rice skin of har gao and cheong fun in most places here too thick and not bouncy. I guess it's harder to find the right type of rice flour (粘米粉) abroad.

I really don't understand how Mister Gregory 🤠 can missed the more prominent stall in Chinatown Complex food centre operated by a Master Chef from Foshan in Guangdong Province in China who sells everything at S$2 flat! TQ

[@minniec.9127]

All the dim sum looked HK legit, like what you'd get in a HK teahouse. Can't beat the price. The least successful looking dish is the cheong fun. The rice roll was still on the thick and firm side. Should be thinner, softer and silkier, but I'm sure the taste was very good. Greg, I think your channel is #1. 👍😋

[@GregoryLeow]

thank you, Minnie!

[@ji1511]

The rice rolls at Happy Congee at Arc 380 are really good. My fav there is a prawn one...

Wow it has best dim sum too, how huge that chinatown complex is?... Is there any good stingray bakar in there greg?

no there isn't. still looking for a good BBQ stingray, no luck yet!

Its the biggest hawker centre in Singapore. It has more than 100 stalls.

[@kentlee1082]

Actually there is one at the "blue" table area which near to one of the very popular clay pot rice. We had eaten a few time and seems good.

[@seanjosephtan]

Second time you’re number one la. First would be when you reach the egg! 😅

[@jsp001]

Yes Gregory!! I totally agree with you about the disappointment of the East Coast Lagoon Food Village being "walled off". As typical of our clueless authorities... Want to make Singapore a "fun" and "exciting/interesting" , and even "funky" city, but they put clueless AND lazy decision-making wet blankets to implement thoughtless actions like this...

[@GregoryLeow]

I try and try to look at it from the authorities pov and I still can’t see a sensible reasoning 🤷‍♂️

[@milkbunnies]

​ @Gregory Leow (Greg's Big Eats) It's a safety issue. Before it was fenced the number of accident or near accidents that happened with blur pedestrians walking in the front of rollerbladers and large amount of (untrained) cyclists was a nightmare. Unsupervised children would dash out from the hawker centre into the oncoming path of people frequently. Now people are funnelled at least in clear crossing channels.

[@GregoryLeow]

oh, I see. is that the reasoning the NEA gave for the barriers?

[@milkbunnies]

@@GregoryLeow not the official reason but as someone who uses that path frequently multiple times a week at all hours it there is a noticeable drop in near accidents. It makes sense if you see it from a traffic flow management perspective.

Those opening hours! I would need to escape office to eat them!

[@toyshanger8945]

The disadvantage from a restaurant dim sum is restaurant dim sum comes to your table ready with choices of food. The compromise is the price and waiting time in comparison. The restaurants tend to have a bigger variety but if these are the few popular items you like is probably worth it. Greg I know your logs has been mostly hawker eatery but I am actually also opened to Japanese, Taiwanese or any food even fast food. It might be something you not used to but I be also interested if you do videos on any good eats.

[@boonteck8406]

$3 really worth it 😋

I would have stuffed with that meal especially two plates of rice noodle rolls, but I prefer my with beef.

[@hochayfai5220]

The dim sum is nuclear

[@AW-tc4hy]

This stall deserves much respect for the electronic queue. Many selfish bast@rds rather make people stand in queue. I make it a point not to patronise them. So what the food are good, just another meal of thousands to have. Like that outram char kway teow, stupid to wait that long, taste is hype and really small expensive portions. Tried the curry puffs from the feuding brothers, not that great but expensive.

[@jonathanya154]

Dim sum looks good. But if they had served them on proper plates or steaming baskets instead of styrofoam plates, it will be perfect.
