-> "Singaporean vs Malaysian Food" Me: Umm we (My & SG) basically eat the same thing

[@bearybear66]

Exactly.

[@krizdeep]

I was laughing my ass off when they say cross over , Mate Singapore has only been independent for 55 years ... Typical Americans 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@aqmalmal3976]

Very true.. Lol..

[@ازولقايوم]

Not really, only for some states in Malaysia, for example here in Kelantan we don't eat what Singaporean eat

[@LivingBobby]

wooooooo! Kopitiam is the best

Yes saw ur vid idk how many years ago. Last time the shop is smaller, less ppl know bout it

[@howardtjh5082]

when i look at the amount of sauce on the Chilli Crab, i know it's different. Kopitiam looks like a winner.

[@simplyme3306]

agreed. Their version of chilli crab, the sauce is too runny. SG's version is more "thick" with the eggs slightly sort of scrambled to give the sauce more body and creaminess.

[@Mr2Am3]

Cant believe the owner only laid over in Singapore for 2 days when he was a kid, and claims his restaurant as Singapura. The dishes cant totally represent Singapore dishes. That's unethically misleading consumers.

[@foodmore]

The Singapore restaurant food totally isn’t authentic at all, water chilli crab, wrong buns for the chilli crab. Another one of those restaurants that tries to be something but ends up being more of an Americanised version of the dish.

[@ixactan69]

and peanuts on satay... haha

Correction, Anthony Bourdain favourite laksa is Sarawak Laksa from Kuching, Sarawak Malaysia!

[@bukitkatilmp]

Yes, Anthony Bourdain did mention his favourite breakfast food in the world is Sarawak Laksa, not Penang Laksa. You got it wrong there. Either way both are from Malaysia.

[@carolyong]

came here to find this comment!

[@Surreal1640]

Hi, whats the difference between the both? I tried Penang Laksa before and thinks its too sour for me.

[@bukitkatilmp]

@@Surreal1640 Sarawak Laksa is more like Curry Laksa with coconut juice in it, but it also has tamarind in it to make it sour. But it is a subtle sour taste and not overwhelming. Most laksa enthusiasts in the world prefer Sarawak Laksa because it does not have the fish smell and taste that Penang Laksa has.

Not true. I ordered both.

[@melmelexplores]

@@mgear088 okayy haha

[@Surreal1640]

Laut Singapura feels more of a fusion fine dining place.... not the place to go for authentic SG or even MY food though. Kopitiam would be my choice if i have to choose.

[@clarkkennmorgana]

You can find chicken rice ball in Melaka, Malaysia. The pan mee should be eaten as dry noodles.

[@joytotheworldddd]

As a Singaporean, omg. When they poured the soup into the dry Banmian when it is supposed to be eat dry with chilli. Chili crab ain’t have the eggy of it and mantou is to have the crispy ones. crispy with the eggy chilli crab sauce, fabulous. However this is more of a watery chili sauce instead of it being more thick.

[@petergaylord4241]

So hungry now. Takes me back to Georgetown in Penang, Maxwell Food Centre (SG), and Jumbo Seafood, Clarke Quay, SG. Miss those places, plus BKK.

[@Yatzy352]

11:41 In Singapura we dont called it Roti Canai, we called it Roti Prata.

obvious give away cat out of the bag, wrong copycat. haha

Exactly. Only in Malaysia it's called Roti Canai

[@vania5247]

Roti canai it's original ..roti prata counterfeit food...stolen from Malaysia ...😂😂😂

[@lelurve]

and yet people there are thankful because there is literally no other place where you can get sg food out there O_o stfu or open your own resto if you're feeling better

[@Tannguardian]

Forget toast box David, next time you're in Singapore go to Ya Kun kaya toast. There's one at the airport.

[@Fuzzy_Llama]

its a personal preference. I like Ya Kun's kaya toast, but my wife likes Toast Box's kaya toast. Some people like myself love the thin, almost buscuity toast that Ya Kun offers. Others prefer thicker, fluffier toast that toast box offers.

[@simplyme3306]

Ya Kun's kaya way better than Toast Box, but I prefer their steamed bread cos the toast ones are too thin for my liking lol. And their soft boil eggs are awesome too! Oh ya, those in the video is missing soy sauce in the eggs.

[@ryanhsu6041]

Oh my god, they poured the soup into the dry pan mee 😭

[@chaoslynn]

Kopitiam actually serves soup pan mee. Their food was packaged for take out, and that's why the soup was separated. If you dine in, the soup is already combined in the bowl.

[@ziyanglow289]

chaoslynn actually no they still serve it dry with the black soy sauce and the soup as a side, if u ordered soup it wouldn't have the black soy sauce

[@davidnguiingyant]

Bourdains favorite laksa is Sarawak Laksa not Penang Laksa.

[@ixactan69]

4:42 The chili is added straight into the oyster omelette ? I am not sure if Malaysia does it this way, definitely not Singapore. And the oysters are usually very lightly fried, not welldone cooked... Hardboiled eggs in nasi lemak? Its either sunny-side up or egg omelette. Mua chee looks the most authentic, as in resemble how Singaporeans have it. Nooo. The mantou for the chili has to be deep fried. In Malaysia, folks call that Roti Canai. In Singapore, call it Roti Prata. Murtabak is like the upgraded version of Roti Canai/Prata, bigger and added in with choice of ingredients like mutton, chicken, sardine, onions. Peanuts sprinkled on satay??? Sorry guys, I don't mean the comments, only hope to clarify some pointers. But then again, I always believe food will and has to change when it is brought to another country, so to adapt to the local culture and preference. So there is nothing right or wrong here. Stay safe ya.

As a Singaporean, Kopitiam looks way better than Laut. Laut looks too pretentious. Kopitiam's food is what you'll find on the streets of Malaysia and Singapore which is the point of street food.

Singapore was part of Malaysia before 09 Aug 1965 . People / food is originated from Malaysia but they ( Singaporean ) transform it then becomes to Singapore food ......
