The katsu stall's boss is one of the kindest and friendliest guy I met. One of my colleagues forgot to bring his wallet and the boss just asked him to pay next time. I hope the stall is doing well!
I would say that these good Japanese hawker stalls really deserve publicity. Japanese food ingredients are not cheap, so the owners do the best they can with their budget, maintaining food quality and keeping the price affordable. The time taken to prepare the ramen broth also takes many hours, so not many people can do it daily.
agree with you, you have to strike a balance between quality and cost for Japanese food. and for authenticity of Japanese food I find that the simpler it is the better
this is for you Editing:3/3 Content;3/3 Transition(making sure viewers do not skip or do not watch after a while);3/3 Good job! keep it up! Your editing brought to a new level and the same for your type of videos!
Can we just talk about how they can offer such a variety with such a small stall/kitchen? Just imagine the numerous ingredients that they have to prep and store in such a small space. Such a good price too. I’ll check them out when I have the chance to. Thanks for sharing! Haruna-san is such a natural on screen too. Is it her first time filming something like this?
Hope to see Haruna-san appearing more often if possible! Bcos it's great to have more opinions from people whose taste buds have been trained in Japan.
I laughed at the 'Poreans" part, it's my 1st time hearing Singaporeans in short haha! This is great content for those who love Japanese food and want to experience it at hawker centers. Good job on the video!
@@reinaldtan2361 Thank you for the question! I'm living in Taiwan now and am aiming to move to Japan. I have lived in the US (Columbus, Ohio) for 3 years. Hmm, it's less about excitement for me actually. The term "刺激" (that was used) can also mean "stimulation" in addition to excitement. For me, what's lacking in Singapore is cultural stimulation. For example, our arts and music scene is nowhere compared with major cities of our caliber. Our small size also means that there is less new things to see, hear, and smell every day. Taipei, for example, has a much more bustling music scene than Singapore. The musicians are also much more skilled than Singaporean ones (the singers hold their pitch better, for example). This lack of cultural stimulation might seem trivial to some. Indeed, it seemed trivial to me. That was until I moved to the US. I was living in a small town. Life was...pleasant but boring. And I absolutely hated it. It had boring food (none of that medley of spices you get with hawker fare) and mediocre art/music. That was when I realized that a lack of stimulation (and not being around people who are excellent and creative at their art and craft) was a much bigger deal to me than I realized. Hence, my move to Taiwan (more stimulation here than in Singapore) and my aim to move to Japan. *One more thing I love about Taiwan also is that people here *read* much more. A larger proportion of people read at cafes, bookstores, and the MRT compared with Singpaoreans (rather than playing mobile games or smth). Singaporeans, especially considering our country's GDP and relative influence, are a relatively less cultured bunch. Also, their cafes play jazz lol (like Real Jazz, John Coltrane and stuff) and no Singaporean cafe does that. I've played music for fairly long so living around bad music really gets me down. They also have bookstores stocking fairly abstract philosophy (primary sources by Sartre and Wittgenstein for example) and still surviving, means there's a market for that. I also saw a guy learning philosophical logic (which earns you $0 in current and future income haha) in the cafe about 2-3 months ago.
@@mouldyfart sad to hear what you are saying about but think about what surrounds Singapore.. right.. Indonesia/Malay corruption and lack of integrity in everything they do so get scammed easy in Indonesia as they have a culture that seems to accept that but is not ''exciting'' it is a ses pit of evil.. so Singapore is lucky by all accounts
Glad to see a guest on this video. Good interactions between you both. Also happy to see the support for local hawker food, given the pandemic is weighing down on their businesses.
So glad you featured and enjoyed Kazan! The boss is a super nice & polite man and his Katsus are fried on the spot when you order them. There’s also free miso soup that comes with every meal. Missing them since this wfh period started ;;
I liked this concept of featuring a fan of your channel and especially a Japanese fan interesting! Please create more of such content! I avoid japanese food hawker stalls in general, and this would certainly help change my mind!
There is another one at Amoy hawker centre ground floor - it’s called 小料理 .... the boss is a true blue Japanese. His gyudon, nanban chicken, beef udon etc are fantastic and definitely authentic. You should try !
maybe ghib can go on a mission to find the best Japanese hawker food in Singapore and give the stall your "stamp of approval" if the food satisfy you XD
An awesome video from you yet again. Thanks for showing us that there ‘s a good Japanese hawker stall in Chinatown Complex. Will definitely be trying it soon!
Ahhhh~ I'm feeling so hungry for all those now especially since dining out is no longer allowed! *scribbles into post-Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) foodie list* Very very enjoyable video~ Thanks Ghib-san and Haruna-san!
Another great video! 👍 can you do a series of the best hawker stalls for Japanese food? I would like to know your opinion as a Japanese. As you have pointed out in this video, some of the dishes have already been customised to suit our locals’ tastebuds! 😋
I enjoyed Misato too! A small restaurant at Centrepoint. Apparently, everything from ingredients to cutlery and even down to the furniture at the restaurant is imported from Japan itself! Would like to hear Ghib’s thoughts on the food there 😁
if the Japanese says its super authentic, means must try already. knowing how strict they are with their food, the curry must be quite something. next time passing by gonna try hehe
My favorite dish from Kazan is Katsudon. I've been eating there for a long time and if like to continue enjoying the food from them. Thank you for introducing this stall to many others!
waw just have to say Ghib!! i really like the video style of this upload, reminds me of foodranger a few years back when i used to binge his videos😆😆 and ur guest is a natural vlogger ley 👍🏼
We Singaporeans also find the lack of excitement in our country to be true. Maybe thats why we devote so much time into earning money so that we can travel out of the country before Covid.
Its all depend on your interest, being an island country, we cannot compared with resource rich and bigger country, hence, we are vivid travellers. But for a tiny dot, we are actually very blessed with many things that even big country cannot offer.
@@paulineng6177 Can't help but to think whether the island folks is missing out on bigger things in life. Not being able to feel connected to nature and gain privacy effervescently
Yes I agree that the second place is good. Everytime I go to audit a client in Chinatown I will go there to have lunch everyday. Its super good and I highly recommend it too!!
The kazan place is my go to Japanese food when I’m craving for katsu and want something cheap. It is make by order, totally should try it. Shall have it again tomorrow.
I’m a huge fan of taisho ramen since their previous stall at Clementi mall, they made their own noodles and their broth before was much more richer but with lesser menu options than their current outlet menu. Guess they expanded the variety for the locals around that area. So the taste changed quite abit🥲
Personally, I think It's kinda difficult to find very authentic Japanese food in the SG hawker center or maybe even around the region unless we are paying a higher price as in your other NOC video (Food King). Generally, our tastes are quite different, & most of the hawkers preparing Japanese food are more for locals taste or even can be due to time & cost factors.
Your video quality and content are very nice. Long time never watch your video and found you have improved a lot. Hope when border opens you can try JB's Japanese food too
my office is between these two spots. But if you get a chance Ghib, lunch time menu at Torasho Ramen (which is between these two hawker stores) is mind blowing. The broth is by far the the tastiest and richest tasting i've had. Pls go try it! Most importantly , despite being a very expensive menu for dinner, its quite value for money for the lunch time menu (15-20 per pax if you share a guoza with your wife)
Not a hawker stall but please do a review on Misato, a small restaurant at Orchard Centrepoint! I’ve been there once and felt the presentation of food really amazing! Food was at an affordable price point too given it’s location in town and what was presented to us! Apparently, everything from ingredients to cutlery and even down to the furniture at the restaurant is imported from Japan itself! Would like to hear Ghib’s thoughts on the food there 😁
would love to see you try Takagi Ramen and give your thoughts on its authenticity! It's cheaper than most restaurants and originally from Tsuruga, Japan. love that it's very cheap though haha
i am glad he said the gyokai taisho broth was abit bland and had criticisms about their ramen. i felt like they were bout a 6/10 even though there were so much hype and reviews about them. if he said the ramen was good and the same as japan, i would worry for my future first visit to japan lol. always pictured myself to be eating my heart out on next level delicious food for my first trip to japan. whew my fantasy bubble hasn't burst.
It’s not easy to find good chicken ramen in singapore, they mostly lack the depth of chicken essence in them. But recently I tried Kure menya @ Fraser tower (opposite amoy st hawker centre) 182 Cecil Street Frasers Tower #02-11, 069547.. their chicken ramen is the best, the broth is surprisingly rich with depth and not laced with other flavouring, just really rich deep chicken stock, the chicken charsiew has a firm and succulent texture like cross between sausage and chicken breast, my fav is tori fest ramen and the chicken adds kick to the taste too. Give it a try !
So far the best Japanese hawker stall I had was at Raffles Place, Golden Shoe. Their teriyaki chicken is the best. Believe there are very good Japanese hawker food in Singapore but it’s not easy to find.
Haruna can try exciting things like canoeing fishing (can make fresh sushi) to the southern islands. Or staying in a kelong in Pasir Ris. or swimming from Corny island to Palau Ubin or swimming from Sentosa to Sisters Island. Or kite surfing in Changi during windy seasons! Or yoga in Sentosa on the sea! Singapore land activities are really boring but can try the sea for extreme fun! SG has many hidden adventures waiting to be discovered!
Suggestion to interview and get the bio of the chef behind the kitchen that were making your food. There could be a reason why it's tasted authentic. Looking forward to your next video! 💪

Not to mention the noodles are difficult to make from scratch.

They will need it during this tough period.

“Singapore lacks excitement.”

Why this Singaporean left Singapore lol

I like her expression when she tasted and felt the food is good.
12:04 wa ghib, that "eh i think it depends ah" was like 100% Singaporean lmao. The intonation, timing all

Seconded!
Glad to see a guest on this video. Good interactions between you both. Also happy to see the support for local hawker food, given the pandemic is weighing down on their businesses.
Really appreciate your video and thank you so much on you and Haruna's comments. We are so grateful for your efforts. Doomo Arigatou🙏😊
So glad you featured and enjoyed Kazan! The boss is a super nice & polite man and his Katsus are fried on the spot when you order them. There’s also free miso soup that comes with every meal. Missing them since this wfh period started ;;
Haruna-san is so cheerful and bubbly😃 would love and hope to see more collaboration with her in the future 🥰 love from ’Poreans’ 🇸🇬
Love when you explain why some food authentic in japan. Thank for shared❤
Ghib can you please make this into a series!!! We need more foodshow review with haruna-san :D
I liked this concept of featuring a fan of your channel and especially a Japanese fan interesting! Please create more of such content! I avoid japanese food hawker stalls in general, and this would certainly help change my mind!
”Poreans!” Lol 😂
Love your reviews of Japanese food around Singapore, please do more, especially hawker food!
I like that you invite other japanese guests! Very refreshing to hear their views
There is another one at Amoy hawker centre ground floor - it’s called 小料理 .... the boss is a true blue Japanese. His gyudon, nanban chicken, beef udon etc are fantastic and definitely authentic. You should try !
O_O need to go find one day after wfh stops haha
maybe ghib can go on a mission to find the best Japanese hawker food in Singapore and give the stall your "stamp of approval" if the food satisfy you XD
Would love to see more collaboration with her
Agree! She’s very pleasant!
Me and my colleagues love Kazan too ! Thanks for featuring!
Means longer queue to buy your lunch next time 😱
An awesome video from you yet again. Thanks for showing us that there ‘s a good Japanese hawker stall in Chinatown Complex. Will definitely be trying it soon!
i like the part when both of you rate the food simultaneously. Genuine. Let's take Haruna on a midnight superbike ride.
hahaha, great episode and theme, I love it! Food King inspired-ish, tasting of SG-style Japanese cuisine with real-Japanese taste bud =D
Ahhhh~ I'm feeling so hungry for all those now especially since dining out is no longer allowed! *scribbles into post-Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) foodie list* Very very enjoyable video~ Thanks Ghib-san and Haruna-san!
Thank you for this video!! I’m sooo going to try it
Good idea for Ghib to invite viewer Haruna san along. It's in my bucket list to try them out with my friends soon.
Thank you! Enjoyed the introduction of good Japanese hawker food in SG.
I notice Ghib-san likes Chinatown complex a lot ya? haha But then again, it does have many hidden treasure food there.
I surely wanna try Kazen one day . Thank you for sharing ghib san
Another great video! 👍 can you do a series of the best hawker stalls for Japanese food? I would like to know your opinion as a Japanese. As you have pointed out in this video, some of the dishes have already been customised to suit our locals’ tastebuds! 😋
please bring/recommend haruna san to have our local food on future videos.
she already say so-so in the beginning
Great reviews! Please do Misato next. It is a truly underrated Japanese restaurant in SG; the owner is making losses but still persevering.
I enjoyed Misato too! A small restaurant at Centrepoint. Apparently, everything from ingredients to cutlery and even down to the furniture at the restaurant is imported from Japan itself! Would like to hear Ghib’s thoughts on the food there 😁
such a fun and enjoyable virtual trip with you guys :)
if the Japanese says its super authentic, means must try already. knowing how strict they are with their food, the curry must be quite something. next time passing by gonna try hehe
new video editing style. Cool
If you visit Kazan again, do try their Ebi Curry don! It's my favourite dish from there since years ago when the stall was at Tanjong Pagar market.
My favorite dish from Kazan is Katsudon.
I've been eating there for a long time and if like to continue enjoying the food from them.
Thank you for introducing this stall to many others!
Thanks for the heads up. Will try them when I am next at Chinatown complex

I will be using ポリアン from now on! Liking this new editing style :) hope you both stay safe during the new lockdown :)
What's that? Poreans?
Awesome and refreshing video! I've always wondered and wanted to try these two stalls when I passed by!
13:01 she was way too cute when you put her on the spot like that xD
Feels like I'm watching Japan Hour - where everything is tasty and nothing is distasteful... lol
The Japanese curry looked good! Love all your videos!
I also prefer my ramen to be less salty, Japanese ones are nice but bit salty for me
ジブさん 笑顔が素敵です！（奥様観て大丈夫なのかｎ ゴホン ゴホン） アジア出張が多かったので、このようなお店はオッケーラーって感じですが、まだ、いきずらい方もいらっしゃるんですね。これを機会にもっと屋台（ホーカーズ）楽しんで欲しいです！ はるかさん おつかれさまでした！

Loving the on point translations to Singlish in the subtitles. :D
The kazan place is my go to Japanese food when I’m craving for katsu and want something cheap. It is make by order, totally should try it. Shall have it again tomorrow.
thanks a lot for sharing, I'll definitely go check out these 2 Japanese hawker stalls once we can dine in again! stay safe~
really miss eating out! will give the stall at chinatown a try next time. stay safeeeeeeee

Ghib, next time ask your friend/guest which dish she like almost between the 2 hawker stalls lah
More Haruna-san features please! She's so honest and savage! Hope she's enjoying her stay in Singapore so far 🙂🤍✨
Savage??
Really authentic, that’s why it draws ppl to watch.
Your video quality and content are very nice. Long time never watch your video and found you have improved a lot. Hope when border opens you can try JB's Japanese food too
"Tourists cannot come LAH!" This got me laughing bro!!! 😃
You should try Japanese food at Amoy Telok Ayer hawker centre. There's one authentic Japanese stall bento at ground level.
Awesome to have authentic Japanese critic of Japanese food.

U should put more flies on ur pfp tbh
Ramen Taisho is fantastic! Definitely reccomend.
It is safe to say that you get what you pay for.
Most Japanese, Korean, Western food in the hawker, kopitiam are some what fusion and sg style only.
It’s not easy to find good chicken ramen in singapore, they mostly lack the depth of chicken essence in them. But recently I tried Kure menya @ Fraser tower (opposite amoy st hawker centre) 182 Cecil Street Frasers Tower #02-11, 069547.. their chicken ramen is the best, the broth is surprisingly rich with depth and not laced with other flavouring, just really rich deep chicken stock, the chicken charsiew has a firm and succulent texture like cross between sausage and chicken breast, my fav is tori fest ramen and the chicken adds kick to the taste too. Give it a try !
It was a great sharing, i really wanted to try the curry rice that you mentioned
I love kazan. Went there twice and ate the yuzu chicken twice
So far the best Japanese hawker stall I had was at Raffles Place, Golden Shoe. Their teriyaki chicken is the best. Believe there are very good Japanese hawker food in Singapore but it’s not easy to find.
This ramen at Maxwell looks great too. I will go and try once the lockdown is over.
Haruna can try exciting things like canoeing fishing (can make fresh sushi) to the southern islands. Or staying in a kelong in Pasir Ris. or swimming from Corny island to Palau Ubin or swimming from Sentosa to Sisters Island. Or kite surfing in Changi during windy seasons! Or yoga in Sentosa on the sea! Singapore land activities are really boring but can try the sea for extreme fun! SG has many hidden adventures waiting to be discovered!
Ooo sounds like a great recommendation of Japanese Cuisine in an affordable price 😎👍
Suggestion to interview and get the bio of the chef behind the kitchen that were making your food. There could be a reason why it's tasted authentic. Looking forward to your next video! 💪
夜中に見るもんじゃないな。。。うまそー！！
Enjoy your show. Keep it coming.
Filmed before second CB I guess? 🤔
