So many kuehs! Kuehs are very rare in Australia, and very expensive! I'm looking forward to when we can travel overseas again. I want to eat my kuehs, coconut desert, ice kachang and see hum char kway teow!

[@scaenaro]

Kole Kole is made of toasted green bean that has been grinned in powder form and cooked with sugar till firm. The brown bits on top is called “tahi minyak” that is made of coconut milk that is slow cooked till the oil and solid bits separates. As for the white and brown kueh or Talam Ubi, the top white bit is made of rice flour and coconut milk and the brown bottom is made of grated fresh tapioca root with palm sugar.

[@amberle28]

Richard, during Ramadan, a lot of Muslim eating places in Singapore will change their operating hours to mirror the fasting day. So, instead of opening from morning, they probably will open around 3pm and ends much later. For Ramadan time, the best time to look for food is usually from late afternoon till late night. The closure is for practical purposes, not many will be looking for food when they are fasting. But they will look for food to break their fast starting around late afternoon. To bring back to home, etc.

This was filmed a couple of weeks ago

[@mindtwister1984]

Off the beaten food trail - Filipino Roast Pork and Taiwanese Stinky Tofu! You are really going places in Singapore....

[@alanbingham7045]

If you like coconut, you should try Putu Mayam. There should be some stalls in Tekka Market selling freshly made ones. For the triangular curry puff, thats the way we used to eat it with chill in the old days while watching soccer at the (old) National Stadium. Vendors will walk around the terraces selling them, and would pour the chilli directly into the plastic bag containing the puff. Wet, messy but delicious.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Sticky hands!!!! As for Putu Mayam, it's on my list since watching the last Food King!

[@AmbientWalking]

Geylang is such a great place for food! Glad you're showing this to everyone!

[@slarmslarm]

It’s gonna be a Saturday craving for food thanks to Richard...

[@benk7177]

You left me gasping in laughter with that food coma pose. So natural 😂

[@azrikhairol4941]

Me too 🤣🤣🤣

[@MeiHengIntra]

Next time, you should try eating durian. Its taste is out of this world!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I've had it many times before. I love it!

[@mercurecheval]

15:44 The crunchy sound is fantastic!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

It was awesome!

[@LeaZalehaSix5]

Usually Monday GSerai hawker centre closed. And also Ramadhan period.

[@renyuanwang9543]

Love watching you introduce food in my neighbourhood that i did not know is there!!! 😘😘😘

[@viok2932]

Great that you had a well deserved break and indulged in Singapore’s national sport of eating. Am making my way down to eat the stinky tofu now!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Enjoy!

[@hafizahwahab1945]

Yeay! You tried the Onan Rd karipap and love it! Btw, the kueh you've tried looks delicious! They are called Talam Ubi, Koleh Koleh and Putri Salat. Koleh Koleh and Putri Salat are my favourite!

[@zhuangzhihui3473]

The snack you ate is very famous.👍🏻

[@kelvgan]

Hey Richard! So happy you share the food adventure from Geylamg Serai to 臭豆腐 to Onan road to pinoy food. Thanks alot! Singapore is an international food paradise! So hope you do something again next time like more taiwanrse more turkish or more russian. Looking forward 拜六 again! 再见👋

[@cheeys237]

Always looking forward to your video on every Saturday :)

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Yay, thank you!

[@user-um8wi5ym4y]

Glad you liked the triangular curry puff! It was commonly sold during half time at local football matches. And we would drip the chili sauce onto the curry puff the way you did!

[@flagellum79]

Aaaahhh... the good old Malaysia Cup days at the National Stadium. Miss the boys shouting “Kopi Keropok Karipap” walking up and down the stairs.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

It was really good!

[@danishbiscuits3127]

Dude contrary to what lots of non Malay Singaporeans would say, mee rebus is actually pronounced as 'mee rer-booze'.

[@rudylopez5060]

Thanks richard. Yr video are so informative. Simply the best. Second to none. Cheers

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Glad you like them!

[@risingsunjap4246]

lechon for the win

[@leeedward4399]

This is a really really nice departure from the usual hike/exploration/history videos. I like this one very much. Thank you. Perhaps you may want to add food / culture to your repertoire. 🌮🥗🍱🥮

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Many thanks!

[@alamrony7703]

Hi Richard, the first kueh is called talam ubi, the bottom layer is tapioca. The 2nd is koleh koleh as you mentioned and the 3rd is putri salat.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks for the info!

[@andrewhwang7920]

Kueh Putri Salat is also known as Kueh Seri Muka.

[@andrewhwang7920]

The first kueh, my mum would call it Kueh Talam Ubi Kayu, a bit longer.

[@ernestkj]

so ubi = tapioca?

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Yes

[@Potomacstud]

Superb vid

[@xuanxuan3497]

I like how you just stumble across the famous putu piring shop. I've been wanting to go there for quite a while!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

You should! It was good. I had actually heard of this place before (I think it was on a Netflix show a while back) but I did still stumble upon it.

[@kennySg101]

I tried. Not the best.

[@muhammadridzwan5909]

an angmoh in Geylang Serai...that must be a sight for the locals....👍

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

After living in Taiwan for 17 years previously, I'm used to being stared at!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

You too!

[@uDunCheebye]

The milk is limited edition. Usually sold during the muslim fasting month only.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

A bit too sweet for my liking!

[@hungryfatpotato]

There's really a lot of delicious local food located in Geylang!!!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

True dat!

[@suhailahibrahimiskandar9481]

Awesome tour today Richard

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks 👍

[@nassirismail]

Kole kole is made from green bean.

[@79chgoh]

This is my way of getting the sweet chilli, bite a bit off the end of the corner of the packet and you will have something like piping bag to squeeze the sweet chilli on the puff

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Next time I'll know!

[@LiLi_Jepun]

Hi Mr Richard i was working there 10 year ago at the Onan Rd as a part time packing the chili 🌶️😊

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Very cool! Did you get to drink it? LOL

@@AsiaHikelopedia 😂😂😂

[@SaifulbahryAbdul]

The 'milk' is air katira. I would add water to it to dilute it.

Very good Richard , i liked all the food and desserts except for the offal . It's okay to just have a food vlog after all we all eat :-)

Mee Rebus is my favourite Malay dish, and Kueh Salat my favourite treat. Try Kueh Lopes if you see it, although it maybe too sweet for you. PS try saying Rebus like Black country folk would say "bus"

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks!

[@Diana-if8qd]

try the karipap in changi village called "Best Karipap" its the best to me so far. 👍

[@zulkarnainbinawang5315]

the second kueh known as koleh koleh. it is made of green beans flour. koleh means metal mug. koleh koleh is the kueh.

[@yewkeewong8952]

[@jayanthi0240]

Will visit geylang food centre 1 day...thank you

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Have fun

[@telmopaz]

I went to Don Lechon before and I found the meat not really cooked through. I'm accustomed to well cooked spanish lechón so maybe I'm a bit spoiled and that is the filipino way. The place with filipino food I tried and I really liked was Gerry's Grill in the Somerset area.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I'v only had it twice (Don Lechon and a small place in Tampines) so not really an expert.

[@AeroPrimeOG]

Richard you should go to Haig road Market & food Centre.....they have good roti john and mee reebus

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks. Next time!

[@szc13]

Hi Richard, if you're missing Taiwanese food there's a famous authentic shop called "5 little bears" at the basement of paya lebar sqaure

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks. i've been before.

[@nassirismail]

Most of the stalls closed due to Ramadan. My recommendation for mee rebus & mee soto u shud go to Haig Rd FC.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks!

[@skysoh1911]

@Asia Hikelopedia: Just curious, what is the watch you are wearing. It looks sturdy and nice on you.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

It's a Seiko. I've had for a long, long time. Not expensive

[@happyface8674]

before you ate the putu piring, my first reaction would be you surely like it because of the sweet and salted coconut

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

It was really nice. I want to go again!

[@njaysee]

I enjoy your videos. By the way nice watch. Is that a Seiko Sawtooth ?

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I believe so

You must pay a visit to Portsdown Road some day since you like Colonial houses 🏡.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I'll try!

[@reyskidude]

18:10 never thought 'bopis' will ever sound awful to others... until i saw the auto generated captions show "bow piss" haha... anyway, eat with a generous portion of rice to offset the strong flavour, as with most Filipino food

Don't care how it sounds as long as it tastes nice!

@@AsiaHikelopedia Richard, just kidding about skipping. no worries

[@windsorus]

The Haig Road putu piring is the famous one. Normally long queue. And normally they dun serve spoon? Similar to the tutu kueh which is the chinese version. At this rate you will be doing a Singapore food marathon. Haha.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Maybe they think I don't dare to eat with my hands?

[@fahmi9]

@@AsiaHikelopedia actually they DO serve spoons! I’ve eaten that a lot and have never not been given the spoon

[@keemarotichai]

its easily the best putu piring in singapore

[@ericyeo8824]

Hey Richard. Nice food video but the background sounds are rather noisy this time around.

[@kelvgan]

Hey Richard! Do you like nasi lemak? Which one you rank the best in Spore? I like to recommend tampines round market for your travels islandwide! Cheerio! Have a great sunday!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I like it, but I wouldn't know where to begin with rating them.

Richard... haven't I told before to try some karipap by dipping it in your mee rebus gravy? lol

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Yes, you have. But I didn't try - yet!

[@g0rikain]

@@AsiaHikelopedia lol anyways good choice for putu piring. that place is like the shake shack of putu piring. next time pls try sha zah confectionary which is just around the corner. i personally think that it's better than the onan road one. try their meat-based potato cuffy puff with the chilli provided. finger lickin good.

[@isftish]

consider getting some reusable plastic or metal cutlery from Daiso, etc....i carry them on me, so i don't have to deal with those lousy single use plastic forks and spoons.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I always used to carry some before, but stopped doing so. Probably because most hawker stalls provide reusable cutlery which I always use. Not too many have disposables, but when they do it catches you out.

[@ketchupc1051]

What about a food tour in Bedok next Richard?

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Maybe. We'll see.

Richard, let me recommend you.a local refreshing drink, its call 百花蛇草水 oldenlandia water, give it a go,let us know. Okay .Cheers!
