      You can get Pakistani food in little India. Laksa n curry noodles are of similar taste. Both should eat it with chilli paste added. May be a bit spicy for your partner. Honestly, I don't recommend Lau Pasat too touristy! Locals don't eat at Tian2 chicken rice fyi.

    For laksa, you were standing too close as there is an open fire stove below. She was asking you to stand back for your safety in case you get burned, not that you can’t video. The secret is already cooked inside the soup like the curry noodles, there was nothing to hide ;)

    Ice Kachang usually has 3 colours of syrup used in the dessert. They are pink rose syrup, green pandan syrup and brownish-black gula melaka syrup.

Currently, Ice Kachang is served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon but way back in the olden days, the Ice Kachang was actually known as 'Ice Ball' by the older generation. Try Googling 'Ice Ball' Singapore' to find out more about the history of Ice Ball and its evolution into the current Ice Kachang

    For the curry chicken noodles, the first item is correct a kind of toufu. We called it tou pok or toufu puff/spongy toufu. The second white piece is fish cake not rice. Some people likes to dip their food into the sambal, others like to add it into the curry directly as it is not spicy enough. There is no peanuts in the laksa. Those are just coconut cream/oil split from the cooking :D Yes main ingredient for laksa is dried shrimp. Cockles are added in raw. The noodles are thick rice noodles. For soup base there is not much to mix about hehehe. Not everyone fancies the blood cockles. Me too, mussels, cockles.
    Actually a lot of hawker centres have those dessert stalls selling various shaved ice desserts and hot chinese desserts😄My favourite chendol is at Chinatown Complex - Amoy Chendol, which you guys had visited earlier. (they use fresh cold pressed coconut milk and hand made chendol jellies.) Bobo cha cha has hot or cold versions. It's basically coconut milk with added steamed cubes of yam, sweet potatoes, sago, tapioca jelly. Please don't put the utensils on the table or tray.

    • @JayeshChhaya
      @JayeshChhaya  2 місяці тому

      We like the taste of the Curry Noodles more just because there were so many ingredients - even potatoes 😳 However, we were happy to try Laksa since it is a beloved locals' dish (and at that point we had no idea some people do not like the blood cockles so we gave it a go too haha).
      We actually really like the jellies used in all the desserts, so I'm glad you're sharing another location for Chendol because we will of course add it to our list!!! Bubur Cha Cha was my favourite so need to make sure to go for a hot version next time ❤️

    What we locals in Singapore like to do prior to getting our food in the hawker; we'd like to find a table first, and use whatever we have to "chope" or reserve a seat/table. usually its tissue paper, umbrellas, cig boxes, etc. I've even sometimes seen powerbanks, bags and laptops.

    go to geylang serai food market.
    there is cheaper food and more malay dishes there with local prices.
    try
    1) nasi jenganan (mix all the ingredients in well into the rice before you eat don't taste individually)
    2) nasi sambal goreng. (mix all the ingredients in well into the rice before you eat don't taste individually)
    3) malay laksa (mix all the ingredients and some chilli in well into the noodles before you eat don't taste individually)
    4) Lontong (mix all the ingredients in well into the rice before you eat don't taste individually)
    malay laksa isn't so sweet.
    and there's a specialty Chendol drink store there. it is easily the best in the whole of Singapore for me.
    mix everything in the chendol before u have it.
    that's how u have chendol.

    You both are adorable and lovely to see you going all out to try the local food!
    And to answer the question of whether to mix or not mix -
    The general rule of the thumb is that if the condiment or sauce is already IN the dish/bowl/soup , then yes , do mix.
    But if the sauce/condiments are served separately like for chicken rice - then generally it’s for dipping.
    But then again , no rules here. Nothing is against etiquette as far as hawker food is concerned.

    I usually come across Bubur Cha Cha as a hot dessert. The jellies in Bubur Cha Cha are made from Sago. Ingredients include sweet potatoes and yam (seen at 12:37 to 12:41), cooked in a coconut cream soup infused with Pandan leaves. For some desserts, it is good to try them when they are hot, because even though Singapore is a hot country, eating something that is closer to your body temperature is actually better for digestion, since the body has to work harder to digest food that is cold, possibly causing indigestion.

    • @JayeshChhaya

    Examples of typical hot desserts include Bubur Cha Cha, Bubur Terigu (pronounced as 'Boo Bor Ter Ree Goo') (White Wheat Porridge with Coconut Cream), Pulut Hitam (pronounced as 'Poo Loot Hee Tah Um') (Black Glutinous Rice Porridge with Coconut Cream), Green Bean Soup (made from mung beans) (mung beans are known as green beans in Singapore), Red Bean Soup, and Cheng Tng (A sweet dessert soup typically containing white fungus, dried persimmon, large pearl sago, malva nut jelly, pearl barley and rehydrated dried longans served in a soup made from dried longans).

    Next time if you are sharing a big bowl of noodles, you can always ask for extra bowl/or smaller bowl so you don't have to take turns. The food sellers understand that tourists do this often. Also the laksa might look similar but have a different taste due to dried baby scrimps being added to the soup base and the addition of dried "laksa leaves" as a topping. Bubo cha cha has coconut milk soup with chunks of sweet potato, yam and sago cubes..

    A good rule of thumb when eating at hawker centres is never to put the cutlery (fork, spoon, chopsticks) on the tray. The trays are not that clean to begin with. You must get a person to help take the utensils for you or try carrying the tray while holding the utensils at the same time.
