Singapore - 6 Local Foods I MUST EAT Every Time I Go Back!

Food is one of the main reasons, if not the primary reason, that I fell in love with Singapore when I lived here for almost 3 years. The country has so many food options to experience on every street, alley, and corner.
The list of food options is almost endless it feels but if I had to choose my personal Top 5 + Dessert that I always HAVE TO eat whenever I come back to this beautiful country, it is the items that I cover in this video!

3/18/2024 UPDATE: A lot of comments from viewers correcting me about calling the Wonton Mee "Malaysian style". It was my mistake as I was misinformed. As much as I like comments and it boosts my video ratings on KZbin's algorithm, hopefully this helps reduce some of the excessive comments about it from new viewers. LOL These are my PERSONAL top foods I love to eat whenever I come back to this beautiful country that I once lived in for almost 3 years. What are some of yours? P.S. Let's remember that food is subjective and not everyone's tastebuds are the same. If any of the food & places I personally enjoy don't align with your opinions, I totally respect that. Just share where you would go so that viewers (including myself) watching / reading can get some value from it for future visits!

@@ig6phmost probably the mee is from Malaysia. It is Malaysian style.

[@jeremywong3056]

Wanton Mee is common in Malaysia as well. However, their dry version is primarily dark soya sauce based. This is Singapore style and we have local mee manufacturers in Singapore and don't source from Malaysia. The wanton mee in Hong Kong is soup version only and their wantons are with prawns.

[@jeremywong3056]

@@MrDenniswooNo, we have mee manufacturers in Singapore. The Malaysian style is primarily with dark soya sauce and is quite different from our Singapore style.

[@jyeoteowhee3784]

Wantan noodles in Singapore, there are 2 versions, the one type which is darker in color using dark soy sauce is the Malaysian version while the Singapore type is the one without the dark soy sauce and the meat dumpling is boiled and not deep-fried only the Malaysian version meat dumplings are deep-fried.

Old Airport Hawker Center is like heaven to me. I am always overwhelmed by the food choices but I always ended up eating the western BBQ, without fail, every time. They have their own special garlic sauce and have been around since the 70s.

Crayfish hor fun. 3. Curry chicken rice (downstairs). 4. Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee. 5. Cantonese Delight. 6. Ji Ji Noodle. 7. Fish soup/porridge (downstairs - left hand corner of centre section) 8.

[@maicharwa4211]

Good recommendations! I've tried all of them before. If I may, the Malaysian Wonton Mee is a black sauce that is saltier while the Singaporean version is a red sauce that is sweeter and spicier.

[@fomoyolotravel]

Yea that makes sense and I appreciate that. Thanks for clarifying that for me

[@lj.2955]

That's so true! Even as a Singaporean, I love watching videos of people exploring food places in Singapore. It's like rediscovering the magic of Singaporean cuisine through someone else's eyes. And you're so right-no matter how far we roam, nothing quite matches the joy of returning home and indulging in our beloved local flavors. It's those familiar tastes and comforting dishes that make Singapore feel like home, no matter where we are in the world. Can't beat that feeling of heading straight for our go-to food spots as soon as we're back home! Returning to Singapore after a long trip always sparks a craving for certain dishes. Kuay Chap, with its wide kway teow noodles in a rich broth, accompanied by tender meats, is a must for that comforting taste of home. And nothing beats the hearty warmth of Pig's Organ Soup! Then there's Mutton Satay, Hokkien Mee, Big Prawn Noodles, Chee Cheong Fun, and Tiong Bahru Chwee Kway-each dish a delicious reminder of the diverse flavors that make Singapore's food scene so special! 🇸🇬🍲🍜🍚🍴

[@fomoyolotravel]

I know only scratched the surface and would love to come back again to discover and cover new places. Thanks for watching the video and offering your own insights as well. The food scene is definitely very special. Much appreciated!

[@AMOS2809]

Proper SG bakchor mee also normally has stewed mushrooms, and sometimes pork liver as well. Try out any local coffee shop's bakchor mee, those should be a lot closer to that.

Not bad, surprised that you knew about katong chicken rice! You should try the Beach road Prawn mee @ east coast road.

Can also try to feature tai wah bak chor mee, indian rojak , rojak (@whampoa) , fish ball noodles, fishhead or fish slice noodles, local beef parts soup , old airport road has a v.famous pig organ soup at the back row (need to queue for 1 hr) , zion road for chao kuey tiao for next time ....slurp slurp.

Many tourists complain about petty stuff, no hair nets , gloves etc., well I've was stationed overseas for over 14 years total. Of course it wasn't all at the same time. I spent 9 great days in Hong Kong in1966 and I ate every day at the street vendors, I would walk down a street looking when I saw a meal that looked good I would sit a the small table and chair point at the food and it would be cooked up. I didn't get sick once until I ate at the R Thai af base in northern Thailand .That place looked immaculate but I spent 3 days sick as a dog from the food not being cooked properly.

[@xrystaltoh7336]

In general, Food Republic food courts are more expensive than other food courts but yes Ion’s is a a shortcut as it gathers most of the well know brands. If possible, do go to hawker centres as they are more friendly priced and have some gems! Someone mentioned Bedok… Bedok 85/Fengshan food centre is pretty well established. Toa Payoh Lorong 8 food centre has a lot of nice stalls too.

frog leg porridge with kangkong, a cultured list indeed its rare to see people who didn't grow up in SEA be willing to try the less popular types of meat edit: i know that bai ji fan(white chicken rice) is the short-formed version from the origin of the name which is 白斩鸡(bai zhan ji, white chopped chicken) but i actually don't know why we translated it to steamed chicken in english perhaps it might simply be due to our ancestors poor english skills back in the day and the term simply stuck around despite knowing that white chicken is not steamed but poached another dish that has translation error is "carrot cake" , which is actually made from radishes and not carrots (radish are called white carrots in chinese)

[@fomoyolotravel]

Thank you for watching til the end :) You're totally right and I kept calling it "steamed" too in another video even though I always knew it was aka boiled/poached. When I first tried "carrot cake" many years back, I always wondered why it was called that too because growing up eating something similar in Cantonese cuisines, it was always known to me as turnip cake.

No slupping Jeff. It’s not Korean or Japanese noodles. If you do, the chilli will get you. Not a good idea.

Haha learned my lesson🤣

Steam chicken without the skin is tasteless 🤚

[@fomoyolotravel]

For me, even without any sauce it’s still got a nice flavor but I do prefer the skin on as well. Doctor advises against it though but she’s never Hainanese Chicken Rice 😉

[@garatobra2504]

Hate it, I just lost my appetite when they charge customers money and serve the food on plastic ware instead of proper flate ware.

Too much starch for your good

I think you meant to say “too much starch for your own good”

3:35 I love Asia but this slurping is still super disgusting to me, and I was thinking a US guy would not have those manners

Just smash that dislike button and you won’t ever see this unmannered “savage” in your KZbin feed again. Thank you for watching though. I’m sure it must have been really tough

This is the worst Wan Tan mee. The mee is too soft. The Wan Tan is small. The best Wan Tan mee is Hong Kong. Second is Malaysia.

Food at hawker centres are barely edible. What is wrong with this guy?

[@fomoyolotravel]

I respect that it isn’t for everyone. However, If eating Hawker Center food is wrong in your book, I don’t want to be right

[@michaelshih8163]

@@fomoyolotravel Just look at the food you eat at hawker centres. Most of them are 90% carbs, and contain little or no nutrients. Very unhealthy.,

[@michaelshih8163]

@@fomoyolotravel Of course it is not for everyone. I lived in Singapore for over 17 years as a PR. I ate at hawker centres for a grand total of two times, both times when my wife was in the hospital delivering a baby. The food is so oily and greasy, it is barely edible. The only thing good about them is that they are cheap, very cheap. Cheap as in low quality.

[@fomoyolotravel]

@@michaelshih8163 Thank you for watching and telling me 3x now including my other Singapore video about how unhealthy my food choice options were. Like I said, I respect that it's not for everyone and will leave it at that. You do you.

[@fomoyolotravel]

@michaelshih8163 You're wrong, I can absolutely do whatever I want on my channel especially when someone becomes a troll or is disrespectful including blocking you and/or deleting your comments. If you don't like it, go cry to KZbin

Perak (Ipoh) is food heaven. Definitely can compare, food is delicious, abundance accessible and 2 times cheaper.

[@jonathanchia9167]

why not compare the other 1000 malaysian states to singapore? considering its 459 times bigger than sg. Johor already 3 times bigger than singapore.

[@phillip244]

​@jonathanchia9167 and you forgot to add that MOST of the cooks at the food courts originate from Batu Pahat, Melaka,KL,Ipoh or Penang. I asked around.

In Singapore, you can get a lot in a short distance by public transport. In Malaysia, you need a car.

You eat real funny.. you put the food at the back of your tongue and the soup too.. weird

So your "personal must eat" Singaporean food are just Chinese food. Nahhhh.... that doesn't represent Singapore 100%.

[@fomoyolotravel]

I don’t believe I ever referenced the food as “Singaporean food” but I do reference it as local food which in my opinion there is difference. If what I personally enjoy just happens to be Chinese food and that offends you, it is what is. It is my preference after all. However more importantly, please do share what foods you would suggest to viewers reading your comment that in your personal opinion represents “Singapore 100%”. I’m sure others including myself would appreciate that to expand our list of places to potentially try in a future visit. I just like to eat great food 😉

[@nostaku]

@@fomoyolotravel I'm pretty sure that laksa and nasi lemak will get mentioned, haha

Like you said yourself "personal must eat" . And Even, so what if one only likes Chinese food? So what if one only likes indian food? They are both Singaporean food. So what? you have racial complex?
