My Wife is from Singapore(Tamil-Singaporean) & we visir Singapore every so often. It's such an amazing place. Food is one of the best in the world. Recently got back from Singapore & Thailand on Holiday 2 months ago. Singapore better for Food, but Thailand is better for history, - & ridiculously cheap for our British currency. When in these countries I bring a pack of tissues with me at all times 😂 Subscribed brother!
Hey Ciaran! Yes the food was amazing! It’s pretty expensive in Singapore but the food in hawker centres are pretty cheap compared to restaurants! Cheers bro 😎
It´s only a second video but I already feel like I'm right there with you, experiencing the beauty and excitement firsthand. Your interactions with locals and storytelling create such a friendly end welcoming aura. Keep exploring and sharing these captivating moments!🤩
The Padang is an open playing field located within the Downtown Core of the Central Area in Singapore. It includes the Padang Cricket Ground. The Padang is surrounded by several important landmarks, which include Saint Andrew's Cathedral, City Hall, the Old Supreme Court Building and the City Hall MRT station. Esplanade Park:- Built in 1943 when Singapore was ruled by Japan, the Esplanade Park is one of the oldest parks in Singapore. The park was redeveloped in 1991. Many historical landmarks are located at the Esplanade Park, including Queen Elizabeth Walk, the former Indian National Army Monument site, The Cenotaph (completed in 1922), Tan Kim Seng Fountain (moved here in 1925 from Fullerton Square), and the Lim Bo Seng Memorial (which was unveiled in 1954). The Esplanade Park is bounded by Connaught Drive, Stamford Road, Esplanade Drive and the mouth of the Singapore River. In popular culture:- The park is featured in HBO series Westworld, as part of the third season. Merlion Park:- Merlion Park (Malay: Taman Merlion, Chinese: 鱼尾狮公园, Tamil: மெர்லயன் பூங்கா) is a famous Singapore landmark and a major tourist attraction, located at One Fullerton, Singapore, near the Central Business District (CBD). The Merlion is a mythical creature with a lion's head and the body of a fish that is widely used as a mascot and national personification of Singapore. Two Merlion statues are located at the park. The original Merlion structure measures 8.6 meters tall and spouts water from its mouth. It has subsequently been joined by a Merlion cub, which is located near the original statue and measures just 2 meters tall. History:- Main article: Former Merlion Park The original Merlion Park was first designed by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) near the mouth of the Singapore River in 1964 as an emblem of Singapore. On 15 September 1972, the park was officially opened at an installation ceremony for the statue, officiated at by then Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. The original statue of the Merlion used to stand at the mouth of the Singapore River. The building of the Merlion was started in November 1971 and was completed in August 1972. It was crafted by the late Singaporean sculptor, Mr Lim Nang Seng and his 8 children. The sculpture measures 8.6 meters high and weighs 70 tons. This massive statue with the spouting stream was constructed by Stanley Mok. Marina Bay Sands:- Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore and a landmark of the city. At its opening in 2010, it was deemed the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion (US$6.88 billion). The resort includes a 2,561-room hotel, a 120,000-square-metre (1,300,000 sq ft) convention-exhibition centre, the 74,000-square-metre (800,000 sq ft) The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands mall, a museum, a large theatre, "celebrity chef" restaurants, two floating crystal pavilions, art-science exhibits, and the world's largest atrium casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines. The complex includes three towers topped by the Sands Skypark, a skyway connecting 340-metre-long (1,120 ft) with a capacity of 3,902 people and a 150 m (490 ft) infinity swimming pool, set on top of the world's largest public cantilevered platform, which overhangs the north tower by 66.5 m (218 ft). The 20-hectare resort was designed by Moshe Safdie architects. Gardens By The Bay:- The Gardens by the Bay is a nature park spanning 101 hectares (250 acres) in the Central Region of Singapore 🇸🇬, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden (in Marina South), Bay East Garden (in Marina East) and Bay Central Garden (in Downtown Core and Kallang). The largest of the gardens is the Bay South Garden at 54 hectares (130 acres) designed by Grant Associates. Its Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world. Little India Singapore 🇸🇬:- Little India is truly one of Singapore's most colourful historical districts. Lime pits, brick kilns and a race track once dotted the neighbourhood, and its streets thronged with herdsmen, merchants and garland makers plying their trade. To this day, this enclave of Indian culture retains its unique heritage. •Why is it called Little India in Singapore? Its location along the Serangoon River originally made it attractive for raising cattle, and trade in livestock was once prominent in the area. Eventually, other economic activity developed, and by the turn of the 20th century, the area began to look like an ethnic Indian neighbourhood.
Honestly i am a big fan of your channel! Thx for visiting my home country, Singapore and we Singaporeans hope to welcome you back here soon! Try visiting the west and north side of Singapore! It may not look like the beautiful south side of Singapore but it is still good to explore :) by the way, have fun in malaysia!
Hey gig hustle, I''m a Singaporean and i've enjoyed every delivery videos you've put out! To answer your question on National Day Parade, it is basically an annual parade held on 9 August to commemorate her independence. Have fun in Singapore and please visit hawker centres to try our local food. I will highly recommend trying chicken rice, duck rice, rojak, nasi lemak, roti prata, char kway teow and many more! You can visit old airport road food centre for some authentic local food!
Thanks for sharing!! We unfortunately won’t be at that time in SG but at least could’ve seen all the preparation 🥳 We’ve visited couple of the Hawker Centres and were truly amazed with people’s kindness and obviously the food ❤️
If you’re sticking around this Saturday, you’ll see aerial displays of military jets around 7pm and fireworks at Marina Bay between 8-8:15pm. They are all part of the rehearsal for NDP 2023. Enjoy Singapore!
Spoon for rice mate. 😅😂 Usually, in asia we dont use fork for rice. Either spoon or hand. Cos its easier to scoop and have a mouthful with spoon rather than fork. But chinese some do uses chopstick thou hmm
The overhanging lighting structures are set up for the Formula 1 event. July to September are the busiest months for the NDP rehearsals (weekly aircraft flypast & fireworks) & the F1.
Actually what that King saw was a tiger. Imagine the continued with this tiger sighting and Singapore will be called Viagracity as the Sanskrit for tiger is vyāghraḥ - Viagra.
The "stadium" for the Padang is there because Singapore's National or Independence Day is coming, 9th August to be exact. They do full scale rehearsals starting from late June (on weekends) till the actual day. There's a military display, including an actual parade - sort of like Trooping the Colour in the UK, and alsp flypasts.
I'm a Singaporean..word of advise if u intend to come back for another visit. We are not as safe as before. 10 yrs ago, yeah u can leave your bags on the chair etc, but crime exists. People hv lost their laptops, bags, when they left them on the table. We are not as clean as before. I grew up with a very clean state but now u can see people litter anywhere and they hardly get caught. Over populated is one of the reasons, we lacked manpower to keep an eye on crime or just cant keep up wth petty crimes. Its sad because we hv to live wth 6million people in a small country and pray hard the government is not going to target 10million in few years time.
I think all foreigners should get over the “fine” issue here. We do not litter because we know it is wrong to do so. It’s all about education and upbringing. Of cos credit goes to the cleaner for keeping SG clean and green.
Wow that shopping centre with the boats! Singapore looks very nice and the food at the restaurant looked very tasty and it's great that everyone is so nice, helpful and speaks English! Stay safe you two, see you in the next one.
I think if you were here in August,the padang ( field in malay language) were staged for our Independence day or in Late September, it would be tge F1 race. This area is a happening place n from May To September the rain yrees therw are gorgeous with white wild orchids n Tiger orchids blooming. Hope you enjoy our humble city in nature, come back soon n sade travels!
the Padang was used as the NDP (national day parade) Show this year on 7th august it is basically a day that commemorates the nations birthday or when singapore gained independence on 9 august 1965
New subscriber here and enjoying the two vids Ive seen so far! You both give such a natural and joyous vibe and i absolutely look forward to the next videos! Oh.. and Selamat Datang ke Singapura! Not sure if ur still here... next trip here u can probably do a food trail, we r a foodie haven and for sure many subscribers wd love to bring u around or give recommendations!
At 10:50 TWG tea has the best boutique tea I have ever tasted ( even better than T2 tea) ! You have to try their Early Grey Fortune blend of tea, nothing compares to it. I feel like a kid in a lolly shop when I’m there 🍬 ....
Coreection, Padang is being condored off as we are celebrating our National Day Parade over there this year. The "stadium" like structure you saw are the sittings for the audience that will be enjoying the live performance. 😁
@jayeshchhaya Singapore birthday's is around the corner(August9th)this year is held at padang our old parliament house so some place road around it will be close , we have prewiews show for ndp(national day parade)and for actual day.
it was closed off because we are going to be celebrating national day (independence from Britain) on 9th august and all those temporary structures u see are the seating areas for the audience. on normal days after august 9 ... the padang is just a green field . padang is a malay word. it literally means field.
Great video. I've heard that the punishment for crimes and stealing in Singapore are very extreme so it is very safe like you said. Wish they would implement the punishments here in the United States as crime in the big cities is out of control.
Stone Island is a street brand but these days, best not to wear as you will be snitched when in the UK. Likewise for Canada Goose. Avoid at all costs hehe
some of the more popular shopping malls here in singapore have a signature scent that they designed for the mall. So our malls are scented :) but not all haha.
Noticed you didn’t use the EZ-link card for travelling? Would it have saved the bank charges? Each MRT station may have more than 1 exit; some may have 6. Always check the locality map to decide which exit to take to get to your destination quicker.
I am sure he will know about the multiple exists, when London's Tube is far more confusing. I always struggle to find the correct exit when going to a new place in London!
Yes, the SG tourist pass is the smartest way to get around ( kind of like London’s Oyster card) , and you get the deposit back from the tourist card when you return it after it expires. Purchase it at the Changi airport station, or limited stations around the MRT network.
@@JayandKarolina if you think the current one is huge, the one that got demolished was the size of a kaiju! It's basically a merlion-shaped building that people can enter into.
Nice new channel! Are you thinking about doing cycling videos on your trip as well? :) Maybe a bike tour / trip to the countryside or outskirts? Would definitely enjoy that! They are so relaxing to watch. Good look on your journey, will keep watching for sure! ;)
Thanks Thomas! I want to incorporate cycling into some of the vlogs when possible. I think I’ll be on motorbike mostly as it’s the method of transportation in Asia! Maybe they will be relaxing too? Thank you 🙏
So the Padang was closed because that is the location this year for our national day parade which occurs on the 9th of august and is our independance day. it's a nice open field on other days
If you're back in Singapore and want to try more indian food, you may want to try some of these places: 1) Gandhi's at Little India - Good banana leaf rice 2) Samy's Curry at Dempsey - a little expensive but good quality 3) Al-Ameen at Woodlands - really great naan and butter chicken with a wide variety of other foods you may want to try 4) RK House at Serangoon Gardens - Must try the Prata Special Hope you enjoyed Singapore!
Omg, thank you so much! We really want to go back as soon as possible because there's so much more to see, explore and try! Will definitely try out your recommendation next time 🤩
Am truly glad and happy for you both on your 1st visit here in Sg ! There is much to sample and enjoy in our unique island nation. Peaceful and practically crime free and safe...for us and tourists. Food paradise is here in Sg !
YNWA! New sub from Singapore great to see you guys enjoying the sights and smells of Singapore. I'm currently watching the Singapore videos of course will watch the other as well. Good luck folks!
haha if u had come few years back u probably find more people hanging around MBS trying to catch pokemon there. Lots of pple hanging around trying to spot dratini or lepras there.
Macha, we are still call Singapura , Singapore in malay, get your facts right before you post. By the way Singapore language is malay. But English is our business language. Why do you think our National anthem is majulah Singapore. Not majulah Phillipore I just wish you UA-camr do your research first before posting anything.
We do a lot of research before coming to a country, but as tourists we don't know all the facts, which seems normal to us. We apologize if you felt offended, but that was not our intention.
3:44 behind you see that black statue in front of the building. That is Sir Stamford Raffles. He was the founder of Singapore but welcomed by the local in 1819 🤣
God I can hear the mrt announcer I’m a singaporean and tbh it’s a special country to be in but I don’t like Singapore as much rather I wanna go to Japan but Singapore is a great country for both foreigners and locals it’s just my personal opinion that I don’t like it here
Btw pinnacle is not budget mbs, it's a residential building. Government subsided housing is the cheery on top. A 3 bedroom cost more than half a million.

That was funny indeed 😂

Singapore is rehearsal nation day which is indepence day next month. Rehearsals week end week out over a couple months already
Great video. I've heard that the punishment for crimes and stealing in Singapore are very extreme so it is very safe like you said. Wish they would implement the punishments here in the United States as crime in the big cities is out of control.
You guys are doing amazing tour .I like your vlogs definetly

Futuristic City in a Garden. Even the Westworld tv series used Singapore as a backdrop.
Your jaywalking in little india about panicked me for you..... :):):)
Why? Haha
Stone Island is a street brand but these days, best not to wear as you will be snitched when in the UK. Likewise for Canada Goose. Avoid at all costs hehe
Thanks for the suggestion 🙏 I had no idea haha
some of the more popular shopping malls here in singapore have a signature scent that they designed for the mall. So our malls are scented :) but not all haha.

especially ion orchard!!!! 😂
Great work! All the best to you and your inevitable success with this channel , from Howard.

So the Padang was closed because that is the location this year for our national day parade which occurs on the 9th of august and is our independance day. it's a nice open field on other days
On your visit....Padang is being prepared for our upcoming national day celebration on Aug 9

The Thali looks amazing. First had one when I worked in middle east. Restaurant was vegetarian and was always full.
For kaya toast, the dark soy sauce is meant to just Drip a few drops onto the eggs before mashing up 1 egg...
Loved your LFC training kit :)

If you're back in Singapore and want to try more indian food, you may want to try some of these places:
1) Gandhi's at Little India - Good banana leaf rice
2) Samy's Curry at Dempsey - a little expensive but good quality
3) Al-Ameen at Woodlands - really great naan and butter chicken with a wide variety of other foods you may want to try
4) RK House at Serangoon Gardens - Must try the Prata Special
Hope you enjoyed Singapore!
Omg, thank you so much! We really want to go back as soon as possible because there's so much more to see, explore and try! Will definitely try out your recommendation next time 🤩
NDP stands for National Day Parade! Its an occassion to celebrate our independence day 😊

Hahahaha that would be awesome!
Macha, we are still call Singapura , Singapore in malay, get your facts right before you post. By the way Singapore language is malay. But English is our business language. Why do you think our National anthem is majulah Singapore. Not majulah Phillipore
I just wish you UA-camr do your research first before posting anything.
We do a lot of research before coming to a country, but as tourists we don't know all the facts, which seems normal to us. We apologize if you felt offended, but that was not our intention.
Stone island is what chavs wear man🤣🙌🏼I don’t like it lol I’m loving the videos so far!🙌🏼🎉
🥳 Thanks!
when you drink the fresh coconut , is same like you drink 100+, its isotonic drink, thus, better you drink fresh coconut.
We love drinking coconuts too 🥰🥰
3:44 behind you see that black statue in front of the building. That is Sir Stamford Raffles. He was the founder of Singapore but welcomed by the local in 1819 🤣
Great to know! Thanks!!!
Always listen to your girlfriend/wife. They're always right. Happy wife/gf, happy life. Lol.....
😬 😬 😬
NDP = celebration to commemorate independence
God I can hear the mrt announcer I’m a singaporean and tbh it’s a special country to be in but I don’t like Singapore as much rather I wanna go to Japan but Singapore is a great country for both foreigners and locals it’s just my personal opinion that I don’t like it here
It's different visiting a country and living there...But from we could have seen, we would every much enjoy living in SG!
Btw pinnacle is not budget mbs, it's a residential building. Government subsided housing is the cheery on top. A 3 bedroom cost more than half a million.
Wow, that's interesting to know! From our perspective there was a budget rooftop option 👍
Those are not tourists. Most likely, those were Philippines maids (domestic helpers) out on their OFF DAYS.
If you say so haha
Fun Fact, Our Merlion Recently Formed a Crack and you can clearly see it on the video before they quickly fixed it
🤯 That's insane! We haven't heard about it haha
Need to mix the sides properly with rice.. would recommend to see some videos.. you might have missed out on the flavours
👍👍👍
You've just scratched the surface of what food Singapore has to offer xD Just wondering if you had a budget limit when looking for food?
😂 Yes! We do actually stick to it in order to be able to stay longer in SEA!
