Omg why did I just only discovered your channel. I think Singapore is really lacking on legit food reviewers. Millennial UA-camrs are really bad at food review here in Singapore. I only rely on foreign UA-camrs for sg food reviews, but you're actually pretty legit. Subscribed!! :)
Hi Gregory, just stumbled upon your videos and really enjoying them. Especially - the genuine and proper critics. Keep it up! I would love to see your channel grow.
Greg i think you can film at least another 5 or 6 stalls from Maxwell hawker centre and then move across to Amoy street food centre. the roasted meat stall next to Nana is a good. there is a also a old school zichar stall i think its swee ting, the curry puff at the indian stall (near the ngoh hiang stall) is nice thinks its 70 or 80cents, but must go about 4-5pm when its being fried. there's also a old school kueh stall selling 红龟果 red tortoise shaped kuehs. there's also a popular fish soup stall along the same roll as Nana. heard there's a thai style econmical rice stall (but ive not tired it yet)
yes, I know about Fu Shun Shao La Mian Jia, the fish soup (both teochew and cantonese) and swee ting. swee ting, I feel their standard dropped lol. but i didnt know about the curry puff, i always go in the mornings and lunch! the ang ku kueh and thai food i havent tried yet. so many stalls, too little time! haha!
Greg I enjoy your YOU TUBE VLOGS ! Please let us know more about your Friend Priyanka and her VLOGS too ! I am very interested in Peranakan food ! As well as Teochew and Hakka dishes ! I plan to visit Singapore and Malaysia to try all the wonderful dishes you have reviewed! Gregory Leow you explanation of each dish is Marvellously Explained right down to the finest detail ! Awesome to know that there is such variety other than Thai food which I thought was the next best cuisine ! Malay, Indian, Chinese and Peranakan gourmet dishes sound so exotic and exquisite ! Thank you for the Wonderful, Epic U-TUBES and the Amazing Insight into the History of Singapores' Hawker Centres and Restaurants !! Amazing Greg !!!
I remember seeing this coin tissue joke in a movie. Someone thought it is a dessert and started to eat it. Later in another restaurant, after he thought he knew better, it turned out to be a dessert. I cannot remember what show is that

I had their beef rendang which was very delicious. Only available on every Tuesday.
I remember seeing this coin tissue joke in a movie. Someone thought it is a dessert and started to eat it. Later in another restaurant, after he thought he knew better, it turned out to be a dessert. I cannot remember what show is that
The movie is Spy!
Gregory Leow oh yeah the one with that fat lady and Jason Statham
Shepherds pie is also British, no??
Great video Greg, but I didn’t really appreciate your guest 😂
the coin tissue is nice
my kids love it!
Hahah greg, i prefer u to do it alone.
Agree with J Lin. You're much better on your own.
Agree! Just Greg, all Greg, only Greg please! Oh, we don't mind your children for relevant dishes e.g. spring roll, fried wanton etc.
i love msg. why they never put
Mislabeled video. Should be:
Peranakan food in a hawker centre in Singapore! Also INCREDIBLY RARE!
its not authentic dude.
I can eat all for one person alone .
Please stop playing the same old music we are Eurasians but we cannot relate to Kristang or any to do with Portugest Eurasians
then don’t watch???
