It's time to get back to Singapore, hopefully on a stopover to Koh Samui. When people say Singapore is expensive, I just laugh and tell them they're not doing it right.

[@GregorBrown]

That’s the spirit! 🤣 Singapore can be a gem with the right approach. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures in Koh Samui too!

Easy if you’re infected with tapeworms. Eat as much as you want, remain skinny.

[@GregorBrown]

A Dream Scenario!!

[@___Danny___]

@@GregorBrown you can get the list from NEA website including when they are closed for cleaning or renovation.

[@GregorBrown]

I will remember that, thanks!

I think Whampoa Drive hawker centre is also not bad. There are 2 hawkers there the one next to the outdoor carpark is more happening. Hokkien mee, Roasted Chicken Wing, Traditional cake shop, Fish soup and rice, quite a number of good food. You can also stroll around the area, a lot of old schools shops too. There is a shop that sells old school biscuits etc. Further near Balestier road, there is an old bakery that bakes fresh bread there.

[@GregorBrown]

So much good info in here. Thanks!

[@abolition1889]

You know what’s up. 👍🏻 Tourists just typically come here to see the Marina Bay Sands, Merlion etc

[@GregorBrown]

thanks! I love this food. I hope that shows.

Welcome to Singapore!🤩🤗

[@GregorBrown]

THANK YOU! :) 😎😎

Love the Hawker centers in Singapore, usually very clean with amazing and inexpensive delicious food. Important to know that what isn't provided at hawker centres is paper napkins for wiping your hands and mouth. Singaporeans are accustomed to bringing their own and you'll often see the elderly or disabled going table to table and selling packets of tissue paper very cheap.

[@GregorBrown]

They are amazing and I was just giving my friend some suggestions there as she was visiting singapore

10/10! 🎉

ahh, thanks Sophie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Gregor, please do try Roast paradise at Old airport!

[@GregorBrown]

Oh, that sounds so good, what's their specialty?

[@danielsuen9402]

@@GregorBrown get the char siew and roast pork, its good!

[@GregorBrown]

Thanks for the tip, Daniel! 🍽️ Roast paradise is definitely on my list now. Can't wait to try it out and share the experience!

[@simplyme3306]

@@GregorBrown yes they are great and Old airport is one of the popular hawker centres locals love.

[@carolinechai3176]

If you're coming back this year just take note that Old Airport Road Hawker Centre is due for a 4 month upgrade / renovation starting in June this year (2024). Best to check before heading down.

I'm enjoying your videos. Do remember not to put the cutleries on the tray directly as it is not hygienic. Dry noodles are supposed to be "dry" mixed with some sauce coated with the noodles like an asian pasta! Please don't pour the soup into the noodles, you will "spoil" the taste of the noodles and also the soup LOL. The sauce will be diluted with the added soup. I've seen so many tourists from the west pouring the soup into the dry noodles and I will be like silently screaming nooo looking over my monitor😂😂😂There's a popular traditional snacks stall selling tapioca kuehs and melt-in-the mouth muah chee (chinese mochi) with peanuts. They sell out super fast and queues start from morning. Another fried dough stall selling delicious sweet potato balls. Wish you had tried them. Malays don't necessarily all came from Malaysia and we simply describe their food as Malay or Muslim food in Singapore not Malaysian food. As saying Malaysian would be referring to Malaysia the country. (although both countries were once together as one) They are referred to as another race in this multi racial country. Just like we don't refer chinese food here from China. They are just Singapore chinese food. Likewise here chinese refers to the race not the country China. Lol it's sorta complicated to explain.

[@GregorBrown]

Thanks. I am always learning.

[@pringlessourcream9527]

I have seen people wiping down the table thoroughly with sanitizer wipes, some even on chairs first. 😂 For me I am lazy, I make sure to place it across bowls /plates, also I try not to put my arm/ hand on the table. You never know what was on the table by the last few patrons....

[@janie7242]

You didn't try the yummy fish soup! Missed out! Haha....🤭

[@GregorBrown]

Next time!

[@sharonpinilla3539]

What is average cost of meals?

[@GregorBrown]

I list the prices in the video ;)

[@jwc3535]

I'm a Singaporean and i didnt know that there is a Claypot styled bak kor mee!

[@GregorBrown]

that might have been my favorite of the day!!

[@GregorBrown]

@user-jk5um1om8l I agree with you 100%. And it's important to stay positive on these videos and let our appreciation of tourism and cuisine bring us together instead of picking apart each other

[@user-pt8mf5sr3h]

Singpore has 120 food centres.

[@blink82]

The noodles are pronounced as Bark Chore Mee

[@GregorBrown]

ah, thanks Blink!

I suggest the camera-woman be the leading actress. Having 2 opinions is better than 1. Adds to the appeal of this channel.

[@GregorBrown]

haha, I told her to start her own channel!

[@gusvalour]

Penang Hawker centres taste far better. The reason is simple, fresher produce (Singapore gets most of their produce imported & frozen), bigger prep area, more generational shops. Sure, Singapore may have those but they're far & few in between. This is speaking from a perspective of someone living in Singapore.

Locals say Tian Tian is overrated.. as a semi local I think Tian Tian is very good

[@GregorBrown]

yeah, it's still good. But we should try others too!! :)

[@shdmd2118]

Seems really hot

[@GregorBrown]

yeah!! for sure, it's Singapore!

[@MayMay-wr6pn]

Maxwell is now a tourist place.

[@GregorBrown]

You could see from the footage many locals there! And also, it's not about Maxwell, it's about the Hawker Centers and their special place in Singapore's culture.

[@user-jk5um1om8l]

Tourists visit but it’s not yet touristy I don’t think. Tourist-ish maybe. Still legit imo.

[@RolandPer]

I don't like hawker serving hot dish on plastic foodware.....it just not right.

[@GregorBrown]

It's the Styrofoam that I don't like, the hard plastic colorful plates are perfect, however, for a hawker center.

[@RolandPer]

@@GregorBrown yeah.. styrofoam I talking about that 🤓
