Let's try Singapore Street Food! At the Singapore hawker center east coast lagoon.
How good is the food in Singapore? I have just arrived in the country and I am curios to try some of the best dishes Singapore has to offer. I went to a local food court called east coast lagoon food village, a local hawker center spot with a total of 61 stalls selling Singapore food. Luckily, I came with an empty stomach and I was also joined by my friend Micheal, who recently moved to Singapore. Join us as we try lots of Singapore Street Food / Singapore hawker food.

🇸🇬 What's your favorite Singapore food?
What camera u use to film the video ?
Nothing worth eating in Singapore, all the food are made from inferior produce that are not fresh which makes the food taste bad. Absolutely nothing there tastes good. That’s why the suicide rate in Singapore is the highest in South East Asia, and depression is the highest in entire Asia.

Beach road Prawn noodles.
The reason why it's called carrot cake is because radish is called "luo bo" (萝卜) in Mandarin. It's given a nickname " 白萝卜" which directly translates as "bai luo bo" aka white radish. Carrot (胡萝卜), is called "hu luo bo". Since both foods have the words "luo bo", this dish is given the name "carrot cake" since it's shaped like a small cake. White carrot cake refers to plain flavor and black carrot cake which uses dark sweet sauce as a flavor booster. Hope this helps!
yes there is actually no orange carrot there is only white radish
also we always eat steamed chicken rice with ginger
It's not really carrot lol
The white radish used, I believe, is called mooli or daikon
Chicken rice..... U missed the chilli.....and if the rice is normal, it is not chicken rice. 😅 Normally, the rice is cooked with the chicken broth........full of flavour
You are right chicken oil cook with rice,is correct
Cant compare with malaysia. Malaysia chicken rice the best
that's why I thought it's like something missing on the dishes..normally should be with chilli right
@viralloger267 why Malaysian always want to compare??
@@shan7540 im singaporean. I know malaysia food is better than singapore food. Quality of sg food becoming worse
Hi Ken, glad you are explore singapore food. You need to stir before you drink that bandung water. Its a evaporated milk not a condense milk.
You go to Geylang Serai Hawker center. There you can find Malay Authentic food. Many food stall all are delicious. Then you must Singapore best Nasi Padang Hajah Maimmunah Nasi Padang. Then if you are at Arab Street , try Singapore Murtabak.
It's starch - in the egg omelette. And the carrot cake is actually white radish - they call it white carrot hence carrot cake. The chicken rice, the secret is a good rice (cooked in chicken fat) and the chilli sauce with it.
the starch is potato starch t be precise.
Man, I used to visit East Coast Hawker centre daily, during the days I lived in Siglap in Singapore. Always loved the place, the ambience, bit like a beach feel hangout. But that was in the 2004-2008 era, it has massively changed since then. Singapore and Malaysia always battle for the honour of having the best (street)food, but to me it shouldn’t be compared, each has its own distinctive flavours and dishes. But I do love the Nasi Padang from Singapore and when comparing, their Murtabak is so much nice than here in Malaysia. 😅
Your friend looks a lot like WWE wrestler Sami Zayn. He looks just as lovely and humble as you!
Singaporean food is a mixture of food from various Asian countries, but it has evolved into something that tastes nothing like the original, haha!
All Asian snacks made of flour or rice are called cakes in English, whether they are sweet or salty, which is really strange!
You did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing! Take care! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
Not necessarily from various Asian countries. And it probably evolved into something better than the original should it comes from another country
He looks like El Generico to me😏
BBQ pits at East Coast Park need to be booked in advance with a small fee. Need to clean after you finished. Carrot cake is made with grated radish, flour, water, steam and mould into a paste.
Singapore do have best beef rendang. Go to Rumah Padang, Hjh Maimunah, Sinar Pagi and Warong Pariaman.
For the bandung, u actually have to stir it yourself because the condensed milk is at the bottom. It’s a mix of rose syrup & milk, making it look pink.
As always perfectly splendid episode!
The steamed chicken rice is also called Hainan Chicken Rice. It's a must for me when I'm in Singapore. You should also get a bowl of soup with it. Wonder why they haven't given you one. Can't wait to taste it again next February.
So glad you went to visit our East Coast Lagoon Food Village!
The sticky substance in the prawn omelette is a mixture of rice n tapioca flour. Rice flour to give it a bit of crispiness n the tapioca flour to make it starchy or sticky.
Thanks for sharing this video ❤
In Singapore Hawker centres you can order at any stall and sit anywhere you like. So if there is music at the satay stall, just take the food to a quieter area.
Hi Ken, Glad to know that you are trying Singapore Street Food. People mistakenly took the carrot cake to have carrot in it, but actually it is not. Carrot Cake is actually a dish that contains White Radish or Daikon in general
Hope you had fun! Warm welcome to Singapore!🤩🤗Lagoon is a popular hawker centre😋
Nice to see both of you again
Looking forward to more episodes Ken!!!
Hi Ken, wlcme to Singapore…🌹🌹The fried ‘carrot’cake you ate earlier is not carrot but radish as u mentioned..In Chinese we call it white ‘carrot’as it’s shape resembles the orange carrot..
Wishing u a pleasant n gastromatical experience..Cherrio..
Mark…
Ps Been following your interesting vlogs ..👏👏
Thanks for watching 🙏
Hey Ken ur German Accent English is excellent.I always watch your Vlog regularly...❤
That (prawn) omelette has a jelly-like texture due to the starch flour.
You'll have to book the BBQ pits in advance.
Carrot and reddish are actually same word in Chinese "luo bo" - carrot is "hong (red) luo bo", reddish is "bai (white) luo bo", hence translation became carrot cake. And most local food made from flour into a thick solid form is called cake. 😅
in chinese, raddish is called "white carrot"
Like to see your your trips to many countries in the world. You have so many interesting experiences and also bring lot of story about each country to your subscribers. Thanks much to share it
Singapore is famous for Hainanese Chicken Rice. That's great that you enjoy the boiled chicken. Most non-Asian people I know find this style of chicken weird, because the skin isn't brown from roasting/frying like they're used to. Char Kway Teow is traditionally made of the thick rice noodles. But even in Malaysia, you can sometimes request it made with other kinds of noodles.
It’s such a joy watching you trying out all our local dishes. Love your accent, observations and friendliness.
Chicken rice should NOT be just rice. A properly cooked chicken rice is so good that you can eat it on its own. Coupled with chilli sauce, minced ginger and thick soya sauce, it’s heavenly!
Hope that you are able to find a better chicken rice.
Hi Ken, the carrot cake is actually make from raddish n no carrots. ( Chia Tau Kueh ) is carrot cake in Hokkien but made from raddish. Cheers
Love your channel. Go to any national, state or even county park almost anywhere in the U.S. and there will be barbecues set up so you can cook.
13:45 no the barbecue area is for rental to rent you have to check with the neighbouring community park manager or community clubs
The fried oyster at East Coast Lagoon food village is my favourite - Song Kee fried oyster
The back Carrott cake is reddish steamed cake fried with caramelised dark soya sauce.
Hi Ken😊🙋♀️
Actually in SG(Singapura/Singapore) there is Malay Village also known as Geylang, ChinaTown and Little India known as Tekka. And also Arab Street famous with their food named Murtabak. These four places is filled with individual cultures, religions and also traditional foods. I hope one day u come back SG and visit these places too.
And kampong houses is exist in SG until today at Kampong Lorong Buangkok😊 And u can even go to St. John Island and Kusu Island too besides Sentosa Island that u had visited. SG Zoological Garden is interesting too. Enjoy your trips around the world ok!
Special thanks for sharing your journey in so many countries which i myself have not visited yet even i am living in SG who live nearby Asean countries. And hope one day i will be able to visit all Asean countries too.
Have a safe journey around the world and take care Ken!👍💕
Never thought of visiting Singapore Ken mate but your videos make us think about heading over! 🇸🇬
A cool change of scenery compared to the rest of Southeast Asia
Next visit, you should try Haron Satay (just beside the stall that you purchased your satay). Its the best in Singapore.
lol so cute when you guys discuss and analyze the food😂
in Indonesia or wherever, I am very happy to see your channel, success is always for you
So glad you and your friend ate like a local. All the food looked great. Missed having fresh sugarcane juice. Enjoy your time in Singapore.
Yeah Ken. Been following you for awhile. You do a good job.😎
Thank you 🙏
love to follow you. I live in Bangkok for 20 years now, originally from Denmark. Try the Chili crab in Jumbo Seafood at the east coast location. Nice sea area with a quiet park. but order the table the day before...its yummi. have a nice time.
Must try probably made in SG dishes:
Indian: Sup Tulang Merah or Bone Steak (mutton leg & bone marrow)
Malay: Mee Siam Kuah (with gravy)
Chinese: Chili Crab & Punggol Mee Goreng
I love it as always. It's great and interesting. Thank you Ken. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Boon lay market have a lot good food,very famous,shrimp noodle soup , chicken rice.lei cha rice
Welcome to SG Ken! I hope can bump into you someday.
Wow i love this video..
Hi and good evening, Ken and all. Have a happy blessed weekend 🙏
Happy weekend 🙏
Chicken rice should be eaten dip with chilli, some with grated ginger and thick sweet black soya sauce.
3:05 bandung is a drink that mainly includes rose syrup and milk or whihc in this case condense milk.
Love ur videos. Hv an enjoyable stay in Singapore😊
Thank you 😊
It’s very nice when you add lemon to the pure sugar cane juice with ice.
The carrot cakes are actually made from radish and mixed with rice flour. The white carrot cakes are savoury while the black it’s sweet. Singaporean usually eat this for breakfast
Normally, you find a table and seats, there are numbers on the tables, remember the number on your table. Then you choose your food and tell them which table you're at; the food will be served to you at your table. East Coast Lagoon is usually very busy at night.
Nice food and clean
The bandung drink has lots of ice cubes. Gotta to let the cubes melt to make the drink less sweet.
As a malaysian welcome to singapore hope you feast and dig in🎉
In Chinese carrot and radish are about the same, we called radish white carrot, carrot cake is made from rice flour n radish.
In the omelette is just a starchy paste made of flour & water ( not sure if it’s cornflour o4 rice flour or what flour)
When you visit Singapore next time, you can try to visit Lau Pa Sat.You can find best duck satay over there.
Fried Carrot cake in Mandarin is called cai tou guo. It is actually made of radish. In Mandarin, radish is called bai luo bo which literally translated to white carrot. Chinese word for carrot is hong luo bo which literally translate to red carrot. So long time ago, due to Singaporean regular folk's limited command of English, it is probably mistranslated to carrot rather than radish, so they just call it carrot cake in english till today.
Why is it called a cake is more complicated. In chinese food, many snacks that is made with rice or has a component of rice or glutinous rice tends to be called guo in mandarin but in the local chinese dialect group such as teochew and hokkien, it is called Kuih or Kueh. Here in Singapore and Malaysia, kueh is also used by the Malay people to refer to sweet or savoury desserts and sometimes it includes snacks that looks like cake but in handy size or bite size. As time goes, due to lost in translation, it resulted in Radish "Kueh" being called Carrot cake.
Wow, i haven't been there since they renovated... What a surprise.... I have no idea Dodo Explorers were staying in Singapore for quite a while.....Hmm..., Food , food and more yummy food..... Still hope you are experiencing more in Singapore this time round, Ken.... Cheers mate!
Maxwell hawker centre (use the TEL mrt to get there), the chicken rice is very good n other food as well, Chinatown complex hawker centre (chinatown mrt) which you have been there, have lots of nice food, another is hong lim hawker centre (chinatown) mrt also has lots of nice food but these 2 places, avoid 12 pm to 1.30 pm cos super crowded another of my favourite hawker centre is great world city (use TEL mrt) lots of delicious food. Your video is very well produced n you are so kind n gracious to the people there n you keep Singapore clean 👍👍👍
Welcome to Singapore. Hope u had fun. The bbq pit u have to book and pay to use them.
There is a famous duck rice store there at the back
To use the BBQ pit,you need to pre-book them with the National Parks Board for a fee .
The Briyani rice and the murtabak from the Zam Zam restaurant.
Singapore Murtabak is different compared to the one which you've experienced while in KL. It is thicker
and full of mutton or chicken . The restaurant is just outside the Bugis MRT stn near the Sultan Mosque. You can explore Kampung Glam area for a wider choice of foods which is not far from this restaurant
Hi guys! Carrot cake, I think it’s made with a big white like radish texture but they also called it carrot a white carrot it does like a carrot.
Lol the perplexed faces at carrot cake 😅 i would be too. I get it after reading rhe the comments 😅❤
Happy weekend 😊❤
You too! ✌️
Fantastic
they splash tapioca starch batter on the egg omlette to make it more chewy and filling
Prawn omelette is egg fried with corn starch water .... to make it like gooey n sticky
Most Singapore shops selling sugarcane dey wont mix with water... usually is very fresh and with Ice.
bt im glad u enjoyed it.
Hi ken good evening happy weekend god bless you always❤❤
Happy weekend 🙏
20:40 the carrot* is actually the white little small cubes you see in the egg its called carrot cake* but since it looks like it was mushed thereforce alot of people dont know why its called carrot* cake.
radish is also called white carrot in chinese characters that is probably why it has carrot in the name.
banyak sekali makanan dari saos kacang di Indonesia dari sate Madura, soto sokaraja, siomay, batagor, gado gado, pecel, ketoprak, cilok, rujak dan masih banyak lg
You need to try Black pepper crab and Nonya Laksa ( coconut Broth with Noodles)
Singapore has the best food! The best!
The carrot cake does not contain that orange colour kind of carrot, but the white colour portion that you were eating were made from white radish. White radish in cantonese also known and call as 'white carrot', thus the white portion was made from the white radish itself. Likewise white radish soup is another dish in singapore whereby elderly believed that it is good to drink for easing some heatiness stuff. Btw left a msg if you still in singapore or not as wanting to bring you to my home and let you film too. 🙂
awww man. I stay 5 minutes away from east coast lagoon but, I havent been there in ages! It's sooo much better than newton! next time try Sambal Stingray from a chinese store, BBQ chicken wings, other varieties of malay food liks Roti John, etc.
You should try the salted egg chicken from 3 meals a day at Sim Lim Square. Most Singaporeans like salted egg dishes.
carrot cake in Philippines is very different..it is really a cake and sweet with grated carrot an orange carrot
The chicken of Chicken Rice is usually boiled chicken, not steamed.
Hey Dodo Explorer, Michael and Ken, welcome to Singapore !!!
In my fictional world, Malaysia surpasses Singapore in every area because they have Boboiboy and Ejen Ali
I didn’t know GiGi and Michael are back in Singapore. Good to see you and Michael together. I am told the food in Singapore is as good as you will get anywhere in the world. You mentioned something about Australia in the video, have you been here? I would like to know where you have been down under. Have a great stay in Singapore Ken.
I traveled from Perth to Townsville via the southern coast in 2012/13 ✌️
21:16 "Chai Tow Kway".
Breaking it down, "Chai Tow" is actually a Dialect in Chinese meaning "Carrot". And as many has commented, there are 2 carrots in chinese. Red (your usual carrot) and White (Raddish).
"Kway" or "Kueh" is Malay for cake. If you google "Malay Kueh", you will see the shapes and sizes of these "Kueh / Kway". Not the usual cakes people are used to.
And voila, you get the name "Chai Tow Kway".
Must have the Chilli Crab!
Fried carrot cake in Singapore is rather white mashed radish mixed with rice starch to make into cake. Then cut into small pieces n fried savoury style.
Hi Ken, I would suggest you check out Mark Weins' and Mike Chen's videos on what to eat around Singapore and many other countries before you go exploring street food. They are pretty good with their choices of food cause that's their full time job ofcourse....food vloggers.
Your friend hold the chopstick better than anyone else I believed. The proper way
one thing I miss is Singaporean Hokkien mee... different from Malaysian version... must try for a seafood lover like you, haha...
German Car Brand do have in Singapore. AUDI, BMW, PORCHE. Singaporean drive Audi A1-A8 - Q2-Q8, and BMW aswell.
I lived 200 Mtr away from this food court. My favourite food were Oyster omelette, prawn noodles , Satay and sugarcane juice.
The asian carrot cake is made with white carrot/radish, shredded, mixed with tapioca and rice flour, and seasoning. The mixture is then steamed to form a solid, and it will be cut into smaller pirces to be fried with lots of eggs and garnish with springly onions.
There are 40+ countries in Asia and 200+ ethnic groups among Asians.
Actually it only have rice powder no radish, those with radish only can be found at old traditional Chinese cakes shop by stream or dimsam store.
@@shadowj3311interesting. I make them at home and these are my usual recipe.
@@vhalia I’m taking about those in the hawker center, home make are different my mothers recipe is similar too but also have fry prawn and mushrooms added. And we also steamed it like dimsam.
Radish, in Chinese ,is "white" carrot (bai luo bo), that's why we call the dish carrot cake.
Some fried carrot cake in Malaysia/Singapore is referring to fried radish
Chicken rice you must have the chilli & ginger sauce to go with it. Still plenty of food for you to sample...😊
You missed out on getting the garlic chilli sauce for chicken rice. That is the soul of chicken rice!
For BBQ pit in East Coast Park you need to book it. $20 for a day.
We call it carrot cake even though it's not made of carrot but radish instead because radish in Chinese is "white carrot" so "carrot" cake.
