Traditionally, Singaporean will add dark soya sauce and pepper onto the soft boil eggs，mix it and drink all at once! Alternatively you can dip the toast into the eggs.
@@kennySg101 they are already adding the eggs to the bread. hahaa
@@kennySg101 why not? Its the way locals eat it
@@KeoNz In the old day, the bread is thick and had less spread on it. Yak kun is so thin crispy and loaded with kaya and better. I know all CZcamsr echo it.
@@kennySg101
Lmao,so? The egg enhance the kaya.
A lot of locals don't dip into the eggs. Let's not debate too much. The right thing to say is some people like to dip into the eggs.
I'm Singaporean and we're often in shorts and flip flops so there's nothing wrong with your attire and I'm pretty sure that you can enter both the Chinese Temples actually. You just need to go to the correct entrance and ask the person-in-charge.
The Buddha Relic temple also provides shawls and coverings if you are not appropriately covered (source: just visited with a friend last week)
Yea its too hot to wear anything more than shorts xd
As a singaporean I find it so sad that tourists having travelled a great distance can only view the temples from outside.. what a waste of my taxpayer money conserving these sites. Shd go to Kim Keat temple.. flip flops or not .. free to wonder .. and bigger
You guys got off at the wrong stop. For MBS, the MRT stop is BAYFRONT :D Accessible via orange or blue line. I know many people think it's either Marina Bay or Marina South Pier stop, but it isn't. Welcome to Singapore, by the way!
Singapore is absolutely beautiful.
Wow looks amazing. Excellent vlog as always. You guys are just the best 😊
Wait you forgot to take the dark soya sauce and pepper at Yakun's and the dumplings sauce is probably dark vinegar which goes perfectly with any dumpling. Sometimes you ask for shredded ginger strips with the vinegar, that will bring to another level. Go to Chinatown Complex for your next meal, look for Michelin Star soya sauce chicken or other type of dumplings and peanut soup dessert maybe.
Yhea Singapore is indeed futuristic..great to see u guys absorbing everything with open mind..
.. the dumplings with just the chilli 🌶 n soy sauce is great to see
Come to Singapore from middle of June till August the 9th. We have fireworks and fighter jets every Saturday from middle of June till August the 9th. August the 9th is our independence day. There are concerts and . It is so beautiful, you gonna love Singapore.
And we love watching your Singapore adventures! 😍
Thanks so much 😊🙏🏼
official singapore
The massive hotel you seemed to be pointing at, is "the pinnacle" and its public housing😀
You can definitely enter the temple with shorts on. Ive never seen or been turned away once in my life
We find most countries like women to cover shoulders and knees but this is interesting to know!
@@dunneytravels chinese temples are generally open minded here. Not sure about others.
Singapore looks incredible!
Instead of all the touristy places, try local hawker centers in housing estates. Better value and tons of good food. U can try Old Airport Hawker Center.
Welcome to Singapore! Glad you enjoy our little red dot and hope you'll be back 😉
Thank you! We loved it will definitely be back 🙌🏼
Can’t wait to explore Singapore after watching your video haha
Great blog
The food is banging. Some of the best street food in the world!
Hi great video. Firstly with the breakfast special I could never have that as I don't like butter & even if I did say what the hell I got to try it I couldn't not with the butter coming in slabs like that still glad you liked it. With travel if I'm not getting a taxi I prefer the pass as you know what your spending & therefore there are no hidden costs or charges as there would be with debit & credit card. When you were in Chinatown you had that drink well captured in your video opposite that stall you went too there is a juice bar. Been to that one & serves delicious drinks. Lastly I had to laugh at you Beth when you said you were annoyed at drinking all your drink as you were eating your main meal because I was amazed that you both didn't have anything to drink during that course. A meal like that or any meal brought in that hawker centre because of the quantity & quality & spiciness I would have minimal two drinks on the table believe me. Thanks ps I'm there in 10 days time.
24:13 You should have went to that building. That building is called Marina One and it's the film location for Season 3 of Westworld
Enjoy your time in Singapore 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
You need the dark soy sauce and the pepper on the eggs!
the savoury flavour will balance with the sweetness of the toast.
if you eat the eggs just like that, the taste wil be lopsided 😭
its not called platform 11 its just the number of the terminus (last station) which is bukit panjang and its the 11th terminus in the whole system. the platforms are usually a/b
When in Singapore, you guys need to check out Malay food and also go to places where you can see the people and it's culture. I suggest you go to the Sultan Mosque area.
I mean, you can easily find anything Chinese or Indian in the UK already.
Singapore chinese food is not the same as the chinese food in the UK though?
31:37 This info is probably late but the 88 Hong Kong Roast Meat Specialist are very nice. (but it is probably a day stall and does not open at public holiday) Tks for the content.
Great episode!!
Welcome to Singapore
Already liked and subscribed
Happy to travel with you
Watched your video just a min
Oh ! Lavender and I got it right So hqppy
thank you for coming to singapore. Please come again and again hahaha.🙂
I recommend you guys to try out the Black Tap Burgers & Beers restaurant. The burger and wings are a must. That's what we got every time we visited Singapore.
Thanks for the recommendation 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Looks amazing guys!
wow nicee 🤎🤎
You can dip the toast in the eggs OR you can also eat it separately.
While you guys are still in Singapore, do catch the dragon drone show at 8pm near Marina Bay Sands area.
Yesss we saw this! Amazing 🙌🏼
For the Chinese temples in need to used the right entrance, the one on the right hand, there’s the lady standing there
Next to Maxwell Food centre, there is a URA building. There is a free exhibit inside that showcase the development of Singapore and its masterplan. It is worth visiting❤❤
The pink colour drink is Bundung, it is rose syrup with evaporated milk, one of the local flavour😊
Singapore is clean country and good place
Enjoy traveling my freind
Those fruit drinks probably got nothing to do with China... 😅 the sour plum basically preserved plum that is both sweet and salty, a common snack to munch or suck on like a sweet. Remember my grandmother used to eat a sour plum after drinking a bowl of traditional chinese medicine brew which is often bitter.
HI Guys, there is plenty of comment on kaya toast so will skip that. Common misconception dumpling or spicy wanton is chinese but not excatly local singaporean chinese food. In Maxwell food centre to really try local singaporean chinese food suggest (if have chance to revisit again)....Chickren rice, Fish soup noodle(Bee Hoon), fried (Hokkien) prawn noodle, fried Kway teow, fried Carrot cake(white/black), Chicken porridge and Minced pork noodle(dry/soup) and fried oysters cake. Lastly for deserts is ondeh ondeh cake or tapioca cake. All info. can be find online. Happy and safe travel.
I feel you guys. But Marina Bay Station is not the nearest station to Marina Bay building 😂
The nearest is actually Bay Front Station. Where exactly located under the Marina Bay Building.
It is called Marina Bay Sands. Have to get that right, because Marina Bay is the name of a bay (duh), a MRT Station, and also an entire district, so there are several buildings with the word "Marina Bay" in it.
omg I recognise that coffee shop is near my workplace! Jalan Besar... hahaha
1:29 The exactly same Ya Kun I eat when I traveled to Singapore.
and it's my first meal in singapore, it was really delicious
Where's the pepper and soy in your eggs though!😅 Many ways to eating the eggs. Some slurp it from the plate directly. Toast and eggs can be eaten without the eggs. Like another commentor mentioned, I think you can enter the temple. And if you have walked down from that temple there is a 2-storey hawker centre - Amoy food centre. And there's another hawker at Chinatown Complex - biggest in Singapore. That dumpling dip should be black vinegar and ginger not soy sauce.
That's not hotel you pointed at. It's the most popular and biggest Singapore public housing buildings, we called them HDB. You can even go up to their top to have a view from there. Marina Bay Link mall is at the basement linked with the MRT LOL.
Should squeeze the calamansi into your pad thai noodles :)
😅Kaya is the Peranakan bread spread, its ingredients r a mixture of Pandan leaves, with eggs n brown sugar...
Peranakan is another unique ethnic group which has inter marriage between a Chinese n Malay....
Our 1st PM LKY is a Peranakan 😊👍
Soursop is a fruit that has healing effect for cancer....
Sour plum is plum preserved in salt...is good to drink during hot weather...it has a cooling effect for the body during the hot weather...
simplest way to explain kaya to western friends is egg custard.
kaya add coconut milk to make it richer.
egg custard is mainly milk, sugar and egg.
google calls it coconut jam
Actually, Peranakans do not necessarily inter-marry with Malays. If they did, they would mostly be Muslims, but most are not. All the Peranakans I personally know tend to be weak in Chinese, but very good in English and conversant in Malay. And they are often Christians. They are distinctive more because they adopt Chinese-Malay culture, especially in food and language.
21:38 & 21:55 That's the Pinnacle, Singapore's best looking public housing development.
That building you pointed at and thought it was a hotel is actually apartments. The complex is called "the pinnacle"
I OLD school add dark soya sauce to the egg with white pepper.
Welcome Welcome to Singapore.
I will start to eat the eggs cos eggs will cool very fast, then the bread with tea/coffee..
Thanks very much for letting us know 🥰
@@dunneytravels 😃
You guys need to come back... other than the Yakun breakfast, you haven't tried the other local food!
Hope we come back soon 🙌🏼
Sweet, lovely couple, authentic presentation.. though slightly confused.. 😅
21:56 Surprisingly, the massive building over there you pointed at is actually residential, not a hotel.
U R handsome
Not just residential. Public housing.
And you can visit the sky gardens for a small fee.
Did you forget to add a dash of dark soya sauce and pepper on your eggs? It’s a truly Singaporean thing with kaya toast. 😮
The most delicious food in the world is in Singapore. You love Singapore
The weather in Singapore is like Florida.
Kaya is actually just coconut jam. Made of egg sugar and coconut
Oh no, CNY 20 is about SGD 4.. You could have gotten that at the money changer...
Don't think you can get that, that is most likely a collector's edition of some sort.
Right now from February 9th Chinese tourist (except HK and Macau) no need apply Singapore visa can come to Singapore trip also 🇨🇳>🇸🇬✈️!
❤🇸🇬❤🇱🇰😘
Wow best video sharing friend greetings know me from malaysia present support 👍🙏🙏
you"ll have to add a little dark soy sauce and pepper to eggs. if you're feeling brave, dip the toast into the eggs and have them together
Good to know thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Kaya toast is for sure a great start of the day in S-pore. Maxwell is my favourite hawkercentre since the early 1990`s. Me and my kids had so many great meals there lately. Greetings from Sweden!
You love Singapore.
Dip the kaya toast in the egg
I love Singapore, too, but, unfortunately, just can't afford to live there!
Yes it every expensive there 😩 lovely place though 😊
Singapore played its role in India's Independence. Indian National Army was formed in 1942 under Rash Behari Bose by Indian POWs of the British Indian Army captured by Japan in the Malayan campaign and at Singapore. Rash Behari handed over INA to great Subhas Chandra Bose. he set up provisional government for free India in Singapore. then started the war of indian independence from the British. it was one of the most Epic battle with very little help from the Japanese. after Japan surrender at the end of world war 2 the battle of INA also ended and the soldiers were captured by British army. Brits decided to conduct a public trial on 3 commanders of Ina-Dhillon, Sahgal, Khan. as the news of Netaji with his Army fought against the British spread the entire British Indian Navy revolted in 1946. because of this already weakened British army because of WW2 could not hold onto India and they left in 1947. in 1956 when British pm Clement Attlee came to India then Bengal Governor asked him why British leave India. to which Attlee replied that the role played by Netaji army was paramount for India's Independence.
If you need any food recommendations let me know
GOOD DAIY - MAITE! :PP
From this old boy from Perth Down-Under;
Thank you for sharing your video vlog awesome ....2/03/2024
Thanks very much for watching 😊 glad you enjoyed it 🇦🇺
Awww you didn’t add the dark soy sauce to the soft eggs to make it savoury. Haha.
We had no idea 😅😅
Should try chicken rice
HCA are treated well in that particular tiny country.
Hhhmmm..why can't u enter the temple? There are side gates where you can enter and visit the interior. The side gate is where you were reading the signage and the Chinese girl was standing. It is a pity you missed it.
U have not really venture into the heart of Chinatown. At Chinatown MRT, take Exit A and it will lead u to Pagoda Street. Walk along Smith Street and Temple street. That is the heart of Chinatown. Going to the Chinese/Indian temple or Malay Mosque in shorts is not problem as they will provide shawls, etc free of charge if it is required.
Uncle Gordon Ramsay so famous in south east Asia
You guys are cute, you ordered soursop sour plum drink so its the sour plum bits at the bottom 😅
You guys should try the SG local food like laksa (it's spicy), fried carrot cake, prawn noodles, bak kut teh (pork ribs soup) & etc 😊
Should have gotten off at the Bayfront station which is nearer.
Thank you 🙌🏼😅
Kind of a shame the staff never tell you that you can add some soya sauce and pepper onto the soft boil eggs and mix it up.
Where did you stay in Singapore?
Lavender! We found it much cheaper to other areas
Cute couple. The part where they go "there are a lot of Chinese people here" cracks me up. Singapore is an ethnically Chinese-majority country. Hate to say it but duh!
Impressive chopsticks skills
10:30 you paid $20 Singapore dollars for a $20 note from China. Exchange rate: Twenty Singapore Dollar = 106 Chinese Yuan.
😅😅😅
Dipping the toast in the eggs is a common mistake by many tourists. Here's how we enjoy our soft boiled eggs. Add a bit of dark soya sauce and pepper to the soft boiled eggs. Mix. Then drink it all at once from the plate.
They will provide ladies with a skirt wrap so that you can enter the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, no problem
Good to know thank you 🙌🏼
Did you guys completely missed the real Chinatown?
Hahaha..wait until u been to China...Singapore ×20😊
We’ll be in China soon 😊
They will provide you with a sarong to cover your legs at the temple
Arg they didn’t put soy sauce and pepper into egg! Sacrilege
their egg is too cooked. half boiled egg you just break them , add pepper add soy sauce mix them and drink it.
I felt so sorry for the bird in there ....
I agree!
Nobody goes to another country without any expectation.
Mental 😮😮
Toastbox's kaya toast is much better than Yakun's!
Dip the toast in the eggs
Haah watching this and i thought byou need a hat when you sqid same
Great video but such a waste not trying more local food like chicken rice, fried carrot cake, laksa, fried kway teow, satay and bbq stingray and other seafood.
Not only chopsticks, you should have taken a spoon for the dumplings as well.
You are the eggs totally wrong
kaya toast= kaya and toast. literally...
Google. Kaya
Not something we get in England :)
Kind of weird on not looking up more about kaya toast and eggs when you have heard of it.
That’s not weird at all what are you on about? 🤡
Or we can just try it and be pleasantly surprised :)
Gordon Ramsay us Scottish
Every tourist video…..they always only go to Chinatown and MBS for some reason. Never to little india and haji lane. But i guess it’s familiar and more in the tourist list. Singapore is not only CHINESE. It’s a multi racial city.
Singapore is boring. Go to harbourfront and take a ferry to Batam indonesia. Everything there is cheaper and the beach resorts are fantastic
We love Singapore 🙌🏼
LOL it speaks a lot about you if you think Singapore is boring 😂😂😂😂
@@lukelow007 boring. sterile. nanny state. Get out that dead spot and experience a real country
Can add like 9-10 small drops of the dark soya sauce, and a dash of pepper to go with the soft-boiled eggs!
Singapore is not a Chinese country, Singapore is a multi-ethnic country，Chinese is refer to China people.
Among the population of Singapore, about 43% are of the Quanzhang ethnic group in southern Fujian, about 21% of the Teochew ethnic group, about 14% of the Cantonese ethnic group, about 3% of the Hakka ethnic group, and Malays account for 15.0% (Indians, Sikhs, Palestinians, Sri Lankans people, Bengalis, mostly Tamils) accounted for 7.4%, while the Eurasian population and other ethnic groups (including Baba and Nyonya) accounted for 1.4%.
And the people you see around the world think they are Indians, but in fact they may be Sikhs, Palestinians, Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis.
You describe the Hokkien (Fujian people), Chaozhou people, Hakka people, and Cantonese people as fictional Chinese. In fact, you say Pakistanis, Sri Lankans, Bengalis, and Sikhs are all the same Indians. Makes sense.
