THIS WAS FILMED IN JANUARY 2020. We got to spend 72 hours in Singapore and we certainly took advantage of our time there. We explored as many places as we could, ate as many different foods as our stomachs would allow and just throughly enjoyed our time there. Let us know what you thought of this video in the comments below, we love to hear from all of you:). Much love all and we thank you so much for all the support we have been receiving!
A small suggestion to you, should try out meals at local Hawker centres or Kopi Tiam(coffee shop) . It’s much more cheaper and you can experience delicious local cuisines which you may not try before! Welcome you to Singapore again. 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬❤️❤️❤️
You had an extensive experience and clear report of Singapore. Missed the housing estate living lifestyles of a multi-racial/language/religion/culture city. Singapore is in South East Asia at 3.5-hour flight to Hong Kong at North and Perth Australia at South. A 3-night stop-over when transiting Changi Airport is good enough. Weather in Oct-Dec is comfortable at 22-28C.
As a Singaporean, the opening scene with the Singapore flag flapping in the wind just gives me goose bumps and an overwhelming sense of pride! Thank you for the cool video!!!
I like the perspective and the calm editing... but as a Singaporean, I really must say you need to go to the real parts of everyday Singapore. But 72 hours is quite limiting. Pls look me up when you next come by. Let me bring u around to the real Singapore w the real good food. Anyone of you viewers too ;)
We all have our own local favourites. It's such an abundance of great food and local culture which remains untapped by visitors. Spend 5 days here next time.
It's interesting you said that Singapore gave you the same vibes as Penang. In the early 1800s, Penang, Singapore and Malacca (Melaka) were grouped together and controlled as a collection of British Territories known as the "Straits Settlement". These places have a strong historical bond.
Wow, what on Earth! That’s so interesting - can’t believe we made that connection without even knowing the history behind it. Thank you so much for this comment, we love learning new things like this. Please keep them coming🙏🏻
The difference is that Singapore overall country and city landscape is totally different than the rest of Asia..the orderliness,the clean air,the clean colorful proper public flat or HDB make it as if it is on par with Dubai or any modern western world...not even Tokyo level can surpasses the beautyness of the city...that's why it called 'Uniquely Singapore'
Actually I kinda disagree cuz my mom is born in penang Malaysia and I'm a Singaporean. And whenever I go visit my relatives in penang, it feels different cuz like I see Singapore as more metropolitan but with trees but I see penang as this huge island with like more traditional places I guess? As they only have like what 3-4 malls interlinked at most? But it's more of countrysideXsomewhatmordern vibes while Singapore is just modern... That's how I feel lah just saying. Cuz honestly in Penang to have fun you need to travel to a lot of different places as they are spread out everywhere. But I love Penang cuz my fam is there and it's near escape hehe I mean to me the vibe is just different coming from someone who has lived in penang and Singapore for quite a while. I will always go to my relatives place every year without fail and explore the place with them and I guess I saw too much of penang to maybe have that feel. Ahaha, and I usually stay for about a week plus cuz of Chinese new year. We might go back from time to time like during the holidays. I also once stayed at penang for a whole month while my fam went back to Singapore cuz my dajiuma(great aunt?) and dajiu(great uncle?) owns a tuition centre and like they wanted me to help teach the kids English and my mom was like sure. Threw me to stay at my cousins house and just teach those kids English ahahahahha I mean I love my cousin so it was all right I guess. But she just gave me RM150 to survive for a whole month!!! 😂 like I somehow bugeted and like saved up and not spend too much. Cuz it was during the nov dec holidays. So like after a month my dad just took a bus to bring me back home lol. Normally we just drive from Singapore to penang cuz I have a big fam and it's easier to travel in penang with a car so. It's been a long time since I went back to penang so I kinda forgot the names of the malls but I do remember the top cuz the name is just literally the top. Was there a pelangi? I honestly can't remember. But penang has really good tau sar pneah and the bakery it's from that makes it so good is him heang. Although the surroundings have this brand called ghee hiang, resist the urge cuz him heang ones are better and they are fresh right from the oven. That's why a lot of locals go there to get tau sar pneah. Well it seems I babbled too much
It just makes me really sad that right now with the pandemic we can't have more foreign friends come over to Singapore to see our island. I'm glad you guys had a great time here!
Singapore being the second most densely populated place on earth, you don't get the feel of the density of people when you walk around. Also for any food and beverages order you can request for less sugar or spicy. Thank you for your sharing. 🙏😘
I love how positive and open-minded and respectful you both are in your reviews! Such wholesome content. Glad you enjoyed your stay and feel free to visit again!
Thank you for visiting Singapore. Claire is so lively and animated whereas Rhett is an absolute gentleman! A small country we may be but definitely a lot more to offer and explore! Do visit us again when the situation allows. Stay safe and take care!!
Nice how you compare SG with Penang. Always felt Penang was like the Singapore we never had. A sense of familiarity but also different. Both cities had very similar origins. But we diverged in the sense that while Singapore's leadership went for the economy and building a commercial hub, Penang decided to major on preserving and promoting their culture. I guess the impact is evident, while Singaporeans have the spending power, Penang's got the feels.
Went to many of the historical sites in Penang and I spent hours in their unique shophouse museums. Got to say it feels more right to explore local history in such setting rather than visit a huge museum with everything in it. I'm a Singaporean btw.
It always take an outsider to remind me that Singapore is a wonderful place. No country is perfect. There is good and bad but I'm perfectly happy to be born and living here
Glad that you noticed how green Singapore is. This was our late former premier Sir Lee Kuan Yew's vision. To transform our beloved island into a city in a garden or simply called as Garden City 🤗🤗🤗
Again, thanks for alerting me to your vlog. -FYI AirBnB is technically not legal if staying less than 3 mths (only private property). In any case, if you do get “caught”, the problem with the law is the landlord. You’re safe. -“take a shot every time Rhett says, “really” LOL; Bravo on attempting to say “Happy New Year” Chinese (Mandarin). It was quite good. Kudos, Claire, saw how you handled the chopsticks 👍; Glad both of you enjoyed the sights & food. There’s certainly plenty more to explore beyond those manicured attractions in Singapore. If you plan to visit again, give me a shout before arriving maybe I could offer some suggestions including a couple not touristy options. And, if I’m available, I’ll be happy to show you around. Happy travels & vlogging!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!😊🙏🏻. We’ll message you one day when we’re back in Singapore! Hope you stay safe and healthy that side! Cheers😊
i loved watching singapore from a tourist’s point of view, made me better appreciate how beautiful my country can be 😙 thank you for this! hope you come back again soon to explore more parts of our city
Yay! 😁 Another Chinese viewer! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing to us. We really appreciate it ❤️ We really enjoyed Singapore and can’t wait to go back and spend more time there🙏🏼
Such a lovely couple. The way Claire imitates the sound of the bird is so cute. And Rhett with his really really really. All the streets of Singapore are lined with trees and the whole island surrounded by greenery. Thats why its called a garden city. It is working to be a city in a garden. Happy to see you enjoyed the short stay in the Little Red Dot.............
For tourist you can go newton hawker center eat chili crabs and other local dishes it's not the cheapest , not expensive many varieties like satay chicken rice but is convenient for tourist . It's near newton Mrt ,do ask for the price first before order,
@@HealthySGRetiree recently they have improved the service already as mentioned need to ask the price first before order is convenient for tourist who know little of Singapore and we can order many local dishes at the same time I had been there with my foreignfriends they orderedthe food themselves not expensive ,my coffee shop here sell very cheap chilli crap but the taste is not very delicious ,
You guys make Singapore look so relaxing and lovely. Always nice to see it through the tourist’s perspective. But somehow your editing style is very unique and the video comes across differently compared to other Singapore vlogs 😀
As a Singaporean, I am happy you enjoyed your time in our country. We have more to offer if you ever come again such as our oriental gardens in the West (e.g the Chinese garden), our nature reserves and even historical sites in Sentosa. Moreover, do explore our hawker centres if you're ever back. They have a much greater variety and that's where you will definitely find us bustling locals because the food is just amazing. Just a tip, as Singapore is multi-cultural and multi-racial, to accommodate for our lovely Muslim community you would often find Halal / non-pork stores or options. Definitely worth checking them out for a non-pork eater yourself.
Thank you Rhett and Claire for your many good comments on our little red-dot country - Singapore. I am glad that you enjoyed your 72-hr stay here. The next time you drop by Singapore again, I suggest you visit another side of this country - the Heartland of Singapore. Heartland refers to the many housing Estates (government built residences for 80% of Singaporean). These are self contained estates with its own shops, market, clinics, playgrounds, jogging parks etc, most notedly its own Hawker Centre. The foods at these hawker centres are slightly cheaper (mainly due to its lower rental for the vendor). The wanton noodle at $4.50 to $5.50 at Orchard road area can be purchased at $3.00 to $3.50 at these hawker centres. Wish both of you good health and best of luck in your travelling, cheers!
S'pore is a garden city and we have portable water straight from the tap! Eating at foodcourts is fine b'cus it's good and affordable and the locals love it. Just patronize the stalls w/ the longest queue and u won't go wrong. Lucky plaza is not a market, it's a mall and you will see malls dotted all around Singapore. Great way to travel around S'pore is by MRT. Hope u enjoyed your time in our beautiful city
glad u enjoyed your short trip in singapore!! our culture is quite unique and it’s a pity u didn’t get to immerse in that, as well as try local dishes because of the time restrictions. hit a true local to bring u to more hawkers and spots that are favs of ours! in the mean time, i hope you guys are healthy and safe (:
So refreshing to watch from a tourist’s perspective. I go to jumbo all the time and the crab is just THE BEST. I’m quite surprised that you find it spicy because I find it sweet and hardly spicy 😂 The next time you’re here, you should check out Sentosa and the Merlion. Beautiful vlog, really missing pre-Covid 19 period and Chinese New Year. Stay safe!!!
Nice video. It's near Chinese New year again （12 Feb 21）. Thanks for the early greetings. Btw, of cos u have quite a few Chinese viewers. I am one of them.
OMG...that happened to me too.... years ago ...I didn't have enough Singapore money to pay for bus fare/ticket & out of the blue a woman gave me some money for that ticket😊🙏..I ❤ SINGAPORE..watching you guys video..brought me back to all the memories/experiences I had in SINGAPORE..❤ the VLOG..😂😂😂👍👍👍...BE KIND to people...no matter who or what races they are... Sometimes when I saw ELDERLY had car broke down on the street ..I would help jump started the car...with the tool I have in the car..it doesn't cost me anything but little time😂...it feel good to help other HUMAN being🙏🙏❤❤
Just found your vlog, glad you guys enjoyed Singapore! Happy that our tiny island was memorable.. Did you manage to do the MacRitchie walk? You already have the advise for pepper and dark soy sauce on soft boiled eggs yah? Order like a local: "Kopi siu tai" (coffee with milk but less sweet), "teh O kosong Kao" (black tea, without sugar, strong).. Or every kids favourite "Milo Godzilla" (cocoa drink on ice with extra cocoa powder topped up with ice-cream).. You could also take a gander round the neighbourhoods and try more local foods, like mee rebus, Perankan kueh, goreng pisang, rojak etc.. Or a short boat ride to Pulau Ubin?
Thanks for all the compliments. Noticed you've basically spent most of your days in the Orchard Road area (and Clark Quay), so you have missed out on other areas nearby such as Bugis, City Hall, Raffles Place, etc. Do visit us again! And yes, get an ezlink card which will make commuting even cheaper (did you try the MRT? you can cover more distance with the trains and go visit the heartlands.)
Singapore is very modern although it’s able to keep and maintain its old, traditional places. The only challenge is walking around in hot, sweltering heat. Oh, well. Southeast has only two weather - hot and hell. 🤷♀️
Have been going to Singapore for 50+ years, our last trip was in 2018 and spent 10 days there, thanks for the update, but you need to try the MRT next time to go places, there are so many Hawker Centres for food , my wife 40 years ago would not come with me on a business trip but relented when I said she could stay at the Mandarin in Orchard Road, after that we kept coming back on holidays every 2-3years, Life is to be travelled and enjoyed , Love the Video Fellini Flyer
fun fact: the trees on our roads are called rain trees and angsana trees. Role is to absorb the dusts and emissions from the vehicles on the roads. My science told me this back in school. Dunno how true that is but hey, more trees more oxygen. Thats a plus anyday!
Lucky Plaza is not a market. It's a shopping centre. A market in Singapore is not like this, lol. Search "wet market" in Singapore for what it really look like. I think the one nearest to city centre will be the ones in Chinatown or in Little India. Such as the Tekka Market. Our markets are not air-conditioned.
Just woke up, and what a great way to start a morning by watching Rhett and Claire. Never been to Singapore but so far, only hear from people and see it on UA-cam and I must say the world should mirror it to make it a better world. I'm sure it has its' dark side but who isn't. Singapore is the one country I hope Viet Nam can become someday, civilized and clean!
@Banhmiso1 , "Get real dude"?? What are you, 12? Is that the most intelligent you can come up with? Is English your second language? Did you read what I said, "I wish" VN CAN one day be civilized and clean like Singapore? You must be one of those trolls who go around the internet saying stuffs and bully people because he's too chicken shit to say it to peoples' faces. Does it make you feel like a man being rude to some random people you don't even know? Sad!
this was in my recommendations & no regrets watching it!! hope you enjoyed singapore 💗 i hope the next time you get to visit, you'll go to hawker centres too (instead of restaurants & food courts) there may not be air conditioning at hawkers, but that's where we get really nice & cheap local delights!! :)
If you do come to Singapore again to try the half-boiled egg, try it with the black sauce and pepper, it is the right way and the more tasty way to eat it! Having it plain is...well...plain! LOL!! Great Video Log, great editing!
Nice vid! A tip from a local and also a world traveller The next time you are here (also every where in the world) get a taxi uncle to bring you to local eating places. That same chilli crab will cost you half the price :)
The chlli crab doesn't cost that expensive in normal food centres in Singapore for e.g. the price of the food centres ones is about 18 or 20 plus dollars but this is the marina bay so it's a tourist area so more expensive
Thank you for this expansive coverage on Singapore! If you ever come back, the less-commercialised areas with HDBs and hawker centres are all incredible places to visit, along with the waterways (Punggol Waterway, AMK-Bishan Park)!
ᥴꫝ᥊ડડꪀiડ I go to one in Toa Payoh Central, located in a coffee shop opposite Courts. It’s $3.80 minimum. There is one charging $2 that is located inside Toa Payoh MRT but I won’t suggest that place.
Don't worry, you do have many Singaporean Chinese Viewers! You missed out eating at our hawker centres, it’s everywhere! Definitely not just traveling around ‘Orchard area’ only! There’s still many parts to go to!
might be, just because it is very messy...just don't like having all that sauce over my fingers! But as you said, go for it as a one time experience if you had not tried it. Was there in 2018. Love the city...beautiful, advanced and clean, except the heat and humidity. Never thought of using a sweatband to absorb the beads of perspiration from falling down my face like a waterfall ( which was really publicly embarrassing), but had a little hand held USB fan to cool myself. August, the time I was there was probably the hottest time in Singapore. Will use a sweatband next time I'm there, once the dreadful COVID19 pandemic is over.
Thanks for sharing another one of your many adventures. It was so cool to see Singapore in detail like that. #1 quote from the video - Clarie "Dildos!" Your welcome :P
That’s really a nice video you guys did ! And definitely welcome to singapore!!! Enjoy your stay and Singapore always welcome you! Guys hugs looking forward for more videos!
Came across this video by chance. I forgot how busy and lively Singapore used to be. COVID changed things so much. Things are slowly getting back to normal here. Hope we will be back to pre-COVID times soon.
Tbh, as a Singaporean, its quite a pity u didn't go Sentosa. That place is literally amazing, in the future when u come to Singapore, do drop by at Sentosa. 🇸🇬
I don’t understand why people object to food courts. I love them. As a solo traveler it’s usually the best place to go for good cheap local eats. Also food courts or hawkers are so popular and we’ll known in Singapore. As for the broth you had it’s very common in Cantonese cuisine. It’s typically vegetable or bone broth with celery and pepper. Usually served as a clear broth.
The next time, instead of ordering kopi ( coffee ), try ordering kopi si . Instead of condense milk, they will put evaporated milk instead. Wont be so sweet. 😉

I really think you captured the essence of Singaporeans in that one sentence "not over the top friendly, but they have a kind heart" 😊
Absolutely ☺️🙏🏻💙
@@RhettandClaire Yup - We are typically reserved. However, if there's a significant reason to help, we'll step in to help.

It's strange that you visited Singapore without trying our delicious and affordable Hawker Center's local food.

Thank you Rhett and Claire for your many good comments on our little red-dot country - Singapore.
I am glad that you enjoyed your 72-hr stay here.
The next time you drop by Singapore again, I suggest you visit another side of this country - the Heartland of Singapore.
Heartland refers to the many housing Estates (government built residences for 80% of Singaporean). These are self contained estates with its own shops, market, clinics, playgrounds, jogging parks etc, most notedly its own Hawker Centre. The foods at these hawker centres are slightly cheaper (mainly due to its lower rental for the vendor). The wanton noodle at $4.50 to $5.50 at Orchard road area can be purchased at $3.00 to $3.50 at these hawker centres.
Wish both of you good health and best of luck in your travelling, cheers!
Oh awesome, thank you so much for the suggestions☺️🙏🏻. Keep well!
S'pore is a garden city and we have portable water straight from the tap! Eating at foodcourts is fine b'cus it's good and affordable and the locals love it. Just patronize the stalls w/ the longest queue and u won't go wrong. Lucky plaza is not a market, it's a mall and you will see malls dotted all around Singapore. Great way to travel around S'pore is by MRT. Hope u enjoyed your time in our beautiful city
glad u enjoyed your short trip in singapore!! our culture is quite unique and it’s a pity u didn’t get to immerse in that, as well as try local dishes because of the time restrictions. hit a true local to bring u to more hawkers and spots that are favs of ours! in the mean time, i hope you guys are healthy and safe (:
We most definitely will do in the future, thank you so much!😊. Stay safe💙
As a singaporean living here for my whole life, I can safely say that if nothing else, singapore is best known for their good food!
Of course, you have chinese viewers!
Thank you for watching!😁👏🏻
So refreshing to watch from a tourist’s perspective. I go to jumbo all the time and the crab is just THE BEST. I’m quite surprised that you find it spicy because I find it sweet and hardly spicy 😂 The next time you’re here, you should check out Sentosa and the Merlion. Beautiful vlog, really missing pre-Covid 19 period and Chinese New Year. Stay safe!!!
We’re not very good with spicy things😂. Thank you for the suggestions and thank you for watching!😊🙏🏻. Stay safe and healthy!
So happy to see that you enjoyed my country. It's always nice to see that we are welcoming to everyone!
Singaporeans, where are you?
Here and waiting :)
Lucky Plaza is not a market, it's one of the early few big shopping centers
Looks like u would have preferred crabs from competing restaurant chain Long Beach or Melben.
Long beach +1
The crab would be half the price at a coffee shop
Singapore always fine 🙏🏼👍😊 love it
Thanks you brother😃 It’s always great indeed. We loved it and hope to go back some day😃
Sorry but I hate Singapore
@@marionsudewo8670why so?
@@ryanteng610 ya y
@@keanelow2370 huh?
the video music mixed at the Garden by the Bay was perfect! 👍
Unfortunately, what we are viewing is now a historical record of how life was in Singapore.
Devastating 😢
You could add in the dark soy sauce and pepper for YaKun's eggs, it will become a whole different meal.
We wish we knew that then!😭. Will have to come back to Singapore to do it the right way🙏🏻
Add a little bit of dark soy sauce and pepper into the eggs and mix it ,dip your toast in the eggs and eat
Nice video. It's near Chinese New year again （12 Feb 21）. Thanks for the early greetings. Btw, of cos u have quite a few Chinese viewers. I am one of them.
Yay! Can’t believe it’s nearly a year since we were in Singapore. Have a lovely festive season❤️
OMG...that happened to me too.... years ago ...I didn't have enough Singapore money to pay for bus fare/ticket & out of the blue a woman gave me some money for that ticket😊🙏..I ❤ SINGAPORE..watching you guys video..brought me back to all the memories/experiences I had in SINGAPORE..❤ the VLOG..😂😂😂👍👍👍...BE KIND to people...no matter who or what races they are... Sometimes when I saw ELDERLY had car broke down on the street ..I would help jump started the car...with the tool I have in the car..it doesn't cost me anything but little time😂...it feel good to help other HUMAN being🙏🙏❤❤
Just found your vlog, glad you guys enjoyed Singapore! Happy that our tiny island was memorable.. Did you manage to do the MacRitchie walk? You already have the advise for pepper and dark soy sauce on soft boiled eggs yah? Order like a local: "Kopi siu tai" (coffee with milk but less sweet), "teh O kosong Kao" (black tea, without sugar, strong).. Or every kids favourite "Milo Godzilla" (cocoa drink on ice with extra cocoa powder topped up with ice-cream).. You could also take a gander round the neighbourhoods and try more local foods, like mee rebus, Perankan kueh, goreng pisang, rojak etc.. Or a short boat ride to Pulau Ubin?
¨i don´t tink we have any chinese viewers¨
well... most Singaporeans do speak Chinese...
Orchard road, an amazing place to do shopping in Singapore.
Now it is cos no crowds. Hahana
Thanks for all the compliments. Noticed you've basically spent most of your days in the Orchard Road area (and Clark Quay), so you have missed out on other areas nearby such as Bugis, City Hall, Raffles Place, etc. Do visit us again! And yes, get an ezlink card which will make commuting even cheaper (did you try the MRT? you can cover more distance with the trains and go visit the heartlands.)
Thanks for the tips! We appreciate it😁
Singapore is very modern although it’s able to keep and maintain its old, traditional places. The only challenge is walking around in hot, sweltering heat. Oh, well. Southeast has only two weather - hot and hell. 🤷♀️
Have been going to Singapore for 50+ years, our last trip was in 2018 and spent 10 days there, thanks for the update, but you need to try the MRT next time to go places, there are so many Hawker Centres for food , my wife 40 years ago would not come with me on a business trip but relented when I said she could stay at the Mandarin in Orchard Road, after that we kept coming back on holidays every 2-3years, Life is to be travelled and enjoyed , Love the Video Fellini Flyer
Awesome! Thank you for sharing and for all the suggestions!☺️. Stay safe🙏🏻
I wish i got to spend more time here 😭 i still need to go back and get my macbook 😂😂
We'll join you!😂
fun fact: the trees on our roads are called rain trees and angsana trees. Role is to absorb the dusts and emissions from the vehicles on the roads. My science told me this back in school. Dunno how true that is but hey, more trees more oxygen. Thats a plus anyday!
I am very proud to be a Singaporean but the only thing i can say is very expensive. Hope you guys have a great day hr in Singapore.
Lucky Plaza is not a market. It's a shopping centre. A market in Singapore is not like this, lol. Search "wet market" in Singapore for what it really look like. I think the one nearest to city centre will be the ones in Chinatown or in Little India. Such as the Tekka Market. Our markets are not air-conditioned.
Where are all the mask? Oh ya, b4 covid. I missed those days......
Always love watching your videos. Can’t wait for you to come back and explore more of Singapore, beyond the concrete jungle.
Agreed, we would love that! Thank you so much for watching!😊🙏🏻
hhh, you have Chinese viewers. Thanks for the video. Nice.
Just woke up, and what a great way to start a morning by watching Rhett and Claire. Never been to Singapore but so far, only hear from people and see it on UA-cam and I must say the world should mirror it to make it a better world. I'm sure it has its' dark side but who isn't. Singapore is the one country I hope Viet Nam can become someday, civilized and clean!
Hehe! We’re glad you enjoyed the video😁. Singapore is in a different league, hopefully other countries can follow suit!🙏🏻
@Banhmiso1 , "Get real dude"?? What are you, 12? Is that the most intelligent you can come up with? Is English your second language? Did you read what I said, "I wish" VN CAN one day be civilized and clean like Singapore? You must be one of those trolls who go around the internet saying stuffs and bully people because he's too chicken shit to say it to peoples' faces. Does it make you feel like a man being rude to some random people you don't even know? Sad!
@Banhmiso1 your mother must be so proud
this was in my recommendations & no regrets watching it!! hope you enjoyed singapore 💗 i hope the next time you get to visit, you'll go to hawker centres too (instead of restaurants & food courts) there may not be air conditioning at hawkers, but that's where we get really nice & cheap local delights!! :)
If you do come to Singapore again to try the half-boiled egg, try it with the black sauce and pepper, it is the right way and the more tasty way to eat it! Having it plain is...well...plain! LOL!! Great Video Log, great editing!
Nice vid!
A tip from a local and also a world traveller
The next time you are here (also every where in the world) get a taxi uncle to bring you to local eating places. That same chilli crab will cost you half the price :)
The chlli crab doesn't cost that expensive in normal food centres in Singapore for e.g. the price of the food centres ones is about 18 or 20 plus dollars but this is the marina bay so it's a tourist area so more expensive
Awesome video - love you guys!! Hope you can both get back out travelling soon! Best wishes from the UK.
Thank you so much Joe! We can’t wait to get traveling 😭. We hope you’re doing well in the UK🤙🏻
WOW!!! Loved watching this vlog guys! Thanks for sharing:)
Thanks for watching Jeff!☺️🙏🏻
oh my god $80 for those 2 crabs?? Crabs are so famous in my state everyone eats them and you can get all you can eat crabs for $40 haha
Yup!🙈. We'll have to come and try them out one day!😄
The people and the sounds is life in Spore. I miss those days.
Thank you for this expansive coverage on Singapore! If you ever come back, the less-commercialised areas with HDBs and hawker centres are all incredible places to visit, along with the waterways (Punggol Waterway, AMK-Bishan Park)!
Thank you so much for the info, and for watching!😊🙏🏻
glad you enjoyed your trip to Singapore! great video, you tried to sync the mega tree light show to the music? nice edits!
you just wasted your money! the chicken rice at hawker centers are only $2 😬
Of course, and we know that😊. It’s like that with every touristy place...but we were starving 😊
Are you sure? I’ve not seen a decent chicken rice stall that sells $2 chicken rice. The ones I saw typically charge around $4 a plate.
Mannou Hana yes :) i go to redhill, my nearby coffee shop and a hawker center near bukit merah that sell $2-$3 :)
ᥴꫝ᥊ડડꪀiડ I go to one in Toa Payoh Central, located in a coffee shop opposite Courts. It’s $3.80 minimum. There is one charging $2 that is located inside Toa Payoh MRT but I won’t suggest that place.
Singapore is a super nice place. But the humidity is on another level.
We’ve heard so! We went during their “winter” so didn’t notice it too much😊
Don't worry, you do have many Singaporean Chinese Viewers! You missed out eating at our hawker centres, it’s everywhere! Definitely not just traveling around ‘Orchard area’ only! There’s still many parts to go to!
Amazing video. Delicious looking food and Singapore looks beautiful
might be, just because it is very messy...just don't like having all that sauce over my fingers! But as you said, go for it as a one time experience if you had not tried it. Was there in 2018. Love the city...beautiful, advanced and clean, except the heat and humidity. Never thought of using a sweatband to absorb the beads of perspiration from falling down my face like a waterfall ( which was really publicly embarrassing), but had a little hand held USB fan to cool myself. August, the time I was there was probably the hottest time in Singapore. Will use a sweatband next time I'm there, once the dreadful COVID19 pandemic is over.
Come and visit us again when the situation settles down.
We welcome you!
Thank you for your Chinese New Year wishes! ; )
You are in my home Singapore hope you get to see alot . Best food ever.
Thanks for sharing another one of your many adventures. It was so cool to see Singapore in detail like that.
#1 quote from the video - Clarie "Dildos!"
Your welcome :P
Hahaha! I'm here to entertain😉😂. Thank you for watching Dillon!
Love how you manage to capture most of Singapore in 72 hours.
Especially in this awesome video, keep posting great video and stay safe for now.
Roland Restaurant has the best chilli crab in Singapore.
That’s really a nice video you guys did ! And definitely welcome to singapore!!! Enjoy your stay and Singapore always welcome you! Guys hugs looking forward for more videos!
Impressive , lovely video clip ...
Love the way u guys captures lots of details in this little " Red Dot".
Rhett and Claire: vlog number 69
me: NICE
Naughty 😂
Me watching this in quarantine, wishing I could travel... I live in Singapore 🙃🙃
We feel the same😢
@@RhettandClaire We'll all get through this - Let's be thankful that this is not a repeat of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.
Welcome to SG! Hope you enjoyed your stay here!
We did, thank you very much!☺️
11:38 To be honest, no matter which car you buy in Singapore, it's all very expensive
Came across this video by chance. I forgot how busy and lively Singapore used to be. COVID changed things so much. Things are slowly getting back to normal here. Hope we will be back to pre-COVID times soon.
Harriet and I loved Singapore and I know you did. It brings back great memories . Great vlog. Be Well. Be safe. 💖💖 Harriet and Jim. Richmond, Va.
It's so great to see South African travel vloggers! Your video quality is amazing! And also it's so good to see pricing in rands !
Howzit!😊. Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the video😁🙏🏻
As a Singaporean chinese myself, We love you
Thank you so much, Star😀❤️ We love all our supporters too😀
Urgh I feel like eating the bun in chilli crab sauce
Glad you love Singapore and always welcome to come back again :)
Thank you!☺️☺️
you should’ve gone to the flower dome during your time in gardens by the bay
Thank you for visiting Singapore and for making this lovely video. Please do come back again when the situation allows.
Tbh, as a Singaporean, its quite a pity u didn't go Sentosa. That place is literally amazing, in the future when u come to Singapore, do drop by at Sentosa. 🇸🇬
I don’t understand why people object to food courts. I love them. As a solo traveler it’s usually the best place to go for good cheap local eats. Also food courts or hawkers are so popular and we’ll known in Singapore. As for the broth you had it’s very common in Cantonese cuisine. It’s typically vegetable or bone broth with celery and pepper. Usually served as a clear broth.
Totally agree! Thank you for the informative comment😊🙏🏻
24:10 that is peppercorn soup (i believe it is called) quite common here in singapore
The next time, instead of ordering kopi ( coffee ), try ordering kopi si . Instead of condense milk, they will put evaporated milk instead. Wont be so sweet. 😉
Thank you for the suggestion! We love kopi though😍
Good vlog. Please post the link for the homestay. Merci!
