Trying ONLY Lesser-known Food in Singapore for 24 Hours!

[@krappola1]

Ilya, so proud that someone came out with Halal Bak Chang. Glad everyone can enjoy the tradition whether Malay or Chinese. Just like it was great to see Bak Chor Mee - Halal. Why not, vinegar noodle, sauce, fish cake etc.. glad some cook innovatively create just like the right blend of sauce and seasoning to make this happen. I will definitely check the Bak Chang when I am back again in Singapore. Just like chinese loh bak, malay can make their version of it, but have to find the right meat but can still enjoy the cinnamon bark. star anisee, cinnamon clove, with toufu with hard boil egg, would definitely sample that a halal version of it. Thank for introducing your mom's recipe.

[@harunrachman3143]

No apologies needed. You give excellent perspective about Singapore lifestyle to the Japanese and probably the rest of the world. You also picked up Malay and Mandarin along the way. Job well done.

[@paecpc]

I am impressed that IIya knows the story behind Bak Chang 👍 😊

[@ilya7772]

Food without cultural history is just grub. 😂

[@limian3599]

What took you so long Ghib!? This is a must! Most of us gets craving for it. Fortunate to switch from Chinese, to Malay to Indian food and go on 'loop' try nasi padang, local and indonesian style, mee soto, mee rebus, mee kua, longtong, putu piring, and other middle eastern influenced dishes etc etc

[@theleafstories725]

5:46 I can’t help bursting into laughter when you ate the Malay food in so called unglamorous way 😂😂

Glad you finally get to taste some great Malay cuisines. I knew you'll like the Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Padi because it's creamy and spicy. The Paru Goreng is great too! Sambal Goreng is a must dish, my personal favorite is Nasi Sambal Goreng at any Malay hawker stalls. Eating food with your fingers takes a lot of practice you almost got it, unglamorous is actually right lol!

[@GhibOjisan]

Yeah, I loved it IZ!!

[@jw5227]

Objisan, Thanks for sharing.😊 Suggest that you buy one more additional clip on microphone for your guest, so you don't needs to hold the microphone while both of you are chatting, you can free your hand to enjoy the food 😉

[@yodellingyak39]

Yes! Too often we see visitors/foreigners coming to Singapore and only eating the usual Chinese-y food (looking at you chicken rice), and totally skipped out on Malay, Indian, Peranakan, and Eurasian food. There is so much more that Singapore has to offer!

[@GhibOjisan]

And I only scratched the surface. Looking forward to trying more food in Singapore!

[@yodellingyak39]

Thank you for bringing more awareness of these to a larger audience! (Though I might have to endure longer waiting time at Hjh Maimumah after this lol. But their food is worth waiting for)

[@haruhi7745]

Wow Singapore is so cool has a lot of interesting hidden places 😮👍🌷❤️

[@GhibOjisan]

It really is!

[@new2melbtango]

Thank you for sharing. I just woke up and it's about 6c in Melbourne. WSatching this video is making so hungry and wishing I was in SG right now. Going to have to try Bak Chang and Fish Head Steamboat. Glad to see Hjh Maimunah is open again.

[@angrenee-vh8lc]

The fried and beef rendang Bak Chang is amazing! ❤the creativity take to a traditional dish.

[@heesingsia4634]

Rendang is super versatile and can be fusioned into many different types of dishes.

[@soonteelee4199]

I enjoy watching your videos. This video is so interesting! Thank you for introducing the unique food in Singapore.

[@aniraz90s]

Hajah Maimunah serve really delicious authentic malay dishes because it taste just like how my mum cooks. It's worth the price. I used to get halal Bak Chang at pasar Geylang now I'm interested to order some from Ilya. The fried bak chang looks delicious! 🤤 Ben is right, my dad used to bring me to Malacca at the Portuguese village to eat there and my late grandmother is half Portuguese. Their salted egg crab and butter garlic prawns are to die for! Not the same as how Singapore cook it. It's much more flavorful and leaves me craving everytime I think about it. I only get Chilli crab in Singapore and Salted egg chicken. The Sambal stingray is also good but I still prefer the one I eat in Malaysia. 🙃

[@EC-ll5fq]

I am so happy that you are back with full spirit! You overcomed your low period and I am having my low now too. Thanks for motivating me that i can overcome too. 💪

[@rizalahyar783]

Enjoyed the video. But have you tried thosai? Another local time popular in Singapore especially for breakfast. My personal favourite is ravva thosai, made from semolina. Would love to show u from my favourite breakfast haunt

[@Deeferdoo]

My favorite nasi Padang shop in Spore and well priced..and lovely desserts. Glad to see that featured. You should really explore Little India too, but do it properly. So many great places there and the atmosphere is fantastic, by far, the most authentic neighborhood in Sg.

Chinese rice dumpling was created in honor of a legendary figure in China's history: the poet Qu Yuan (340 B.C. to 278 B.C.) Famous for pioneering the art in ancient China, Qu Yuan was also a beloved minister and a former advisor to the King. But he was banished by the King after corrupt officials slandered Qu Yuan's name. Even in exile, Qu Yuan continued to write some of the greatest poetry in Chinese literature expressing concern for his country and people. But unfortunately, his home town was invaded in 278 B.C. Striken with grief, Qu Yuan drowned himself in the famous Ni Lo River. Although the people rushed to the river to rescue their beloved minister, they were too late. Instead, they paddled out in boats and furiously threw packets of steamed rice wrapped in leaves to prevent the sea creatures from consuming Qu Yuan's body.

Just a correction of the Bak Chang history / legend. There was a govt official by name of Qu Yuan。He was a poet & politician and a righteous man but was not appreciated by the emperor of the Chu State (during the warring state era) who favors many evil & corrupt officials. He became disillusion and depressed and committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River. The common villagers respected him and didn’t want his corpse be eaten by fishes. So they made bak chang load on boats and threw them into the river. This event is then subsequently celebrated on the 5th day 5th month of the lunar calendar. And hence the dragon boat festival also started.

[@thewalk7816]

They obviously had to shorten this story for the video, and it is factually not wrong though.

[@lengyeowang4147]

Bak Chang had longer history than this story, it’s was related with water dragon , which was part of ancient Chu state believe .
