Jimmy, the Pork noodles do indeed have an acquired Singaporean flavour. Funny enough, it's a dish that most Singaporeans crave when they're travelling abroad (especially when visiting Korea)!
The pork noodles is called Bak Chor mee and its found in almost every hawker in sg. Singaporeans love the strong vinegar, salty and spicy taste. its really unlike anything you have tried in other south east asian or asian countries.Also the only michelin star hawker food is Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, Crawford Lane. Not the one u have tried. The rest are just michelin gourmand.
Yes, the vinegar is Zhenjiang or Chinkiang black rice vinegar. It is similar to taste of balsamic vinegar . Great as a dip with Xiao Long BAO or Shen Jian Bao. Delicious.
It's funny. I definitely felt allergic reactions in the early days of this channel, but now I barely feel anything when I eat shellfish. 😅 I just hope it doesn't surprise me with a sudden extreme reaction one day.
People who grow up in the West are allergic to a lot of things. They found in medical studies that the proportion of Asians being allergic to peanuts is much lower than the West but if the Asian parents live in the West before they give birth to kids in the West, they would give birth to just as many kids with allergies to peanuts. However if their kids were born in Asia but went to West and grew up there they still rarely develop allergies to peanuts...though my country Singapore has higher allergies to peanuts that some Asian countries..but lots of our peanut butter are imported from West. Food for thought...
I ate at that Egg Noodle hawker stall that you said had an “acquired taste”. I actually LOVE it i ordered two bowls! We stumbled upon this place when we missed the bus stop for bugis 😅 Love this video and happy you featured a less crowded area
Hi Jimmy Bro. Just a brief info.on Singapore Hawker centres(Food centres). In the old days street hawker use to do their trade in push cart form on the open streets. Due to hygiene and pollution isses being consolidate into Hawker centres for better management of hygiene, convenience location for the public to consume food at an affordable price. Their in fact food/drinks stores now and "not restaurants". Singapore Hawker culture is listed by UNESCO as Intangible cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Kaya toast is considered breakfast food although like many breakfast foods, it is sold all day like an all-day breakfast. It is the Southeast Asian equivalent of marmalade or peanut butter and jelly.
Thank you so much for sharing another great video. Special thank you for including the prices for us. I am sure if you can afford it there are amazing things to eat everywhere but this was really affordable, it was amazing! P.S. pleas be careful with the shellfish if you’re allergic, we love you x
Isn't the reason Hawker centers are so popular in Singapore specifically, and are also clean etc. because they are subsidized by the government? So, they are subsidized and regulated by the government and that keeps prices fairly low and everything higher quality and clean. At least that's how I understood Hawker centers there. I don't know if they are the same in places that have Hawker centers outside of Singapore though.
So that's what you had at Hong Lim! That's a lot for breakfast 🤣 I really love minced pork noodles especially when I come home from an overseas trip but I didn't like the one from TaiWah cause the last time I had it, it was had a strong porky taste 😢 I think for your next trip back here you can head to lesser populated Hawker Centres to find other hidden gems. 🤩
Yeah! I think I made a good call by going to Hong Lim as my first hawker experience, but I would love to explore more of these! Many of my Singaporean viewers had mixed opinions on the best hawker center in Singapore.
you probably know this already, but yeah the hawker place you visited previously are actually where the good and authentic foods are. These fancy looking food courts with air conditioning are where the food are actually not so good and overpriced. :D
Ah! Singapore hawker video finally out! Think. you ate more than I ever had at a hawker! For the Bak Ku Teh, I love the Singapore pepperish version which is sooo lovely and warming especially on cold rainy days. As for laksa, it's my favourite local food, especially the Katong laksa version which is more coconutty and the noodles are cut short so you only use a spoon to scoop it up! If you do come next time, hope you check those out as well! :D And yes the pork noodles, Bak Chor Mee, even for myself, when I first had it in my younger days, I was not used to the taste because of the vinegar. But trust me, it grows on you, and on a random occasion, you will suddenly find yourself missing it and craving that tangy flavour from the vinegar. When I order mine now as an adult, I even add extra vinegar and chilli! LOL
Random but for some reasons your most recent videos haven’t been showing on my suggested 😢, but this video did idk what’s up with the algorithms. Keep it up tho
I always pass by this hawker every time i get the chance to visit singapore ! Duck rice is probably my favorite food to grab ! The price/Taste ratio can't be beat !

I think that laksa was a splipper lobster not a crawfish . in some places in Japan that dish would be worth 40$usd for lobster alone at market. So that was an amazing deal.9$ lolool nice.
Interesting! Their noodles seem to be less absorbent than the typical Korean/Japanese wheat noodle, almost like rice vermicelli. Curious to see if more of the rest of the noodle dishes you try will be of that style.
Jimmy that Laksa looks really good! I remember you mention you are alergic to shellfish? How much can you eat before something happens? Last video you had many lobsters at the fancy buffet.
The ribs were great! I felt bad not drinking all of that soup though... Also, many people mistook me for Chinese and Japanese before haha so she didn't surprise me 😅
I would love to know how you get from the airport to your destination. How do you know where to go? Are you taking an Uber everywhere? Walking? Renting Vehicles 🚗? Etc. Thank you for your consideration ☺️
I’ve been food poisoned in Singapore, it’s always the pre cooked chicken left at room temperature in the Singapore heat that gets me. I think it is just served this way in Muslim countries like Malaysia and Singapore as they sometimes eat with their hands
Next time, when you order the pork noodle, remember to ask them not to omit the vinegar. Without the black vinegar, it may taste very different and extremely delicious. It may be more delicious than you can imagine. BTW, you look very much Korean, not Chinese.
I think for TaiWah's Pork noodles/bak chor mee is on the pricier side and kind of an over hyped In some hawker centers you can still get cheaper bak chor mee then what you paid for.
Thanks for showing so much love to our local hawker food! ❤ Can’t wait to see what other local dishes you try out! 😋
Of course! Can't wait to go back and explore more ☺️

@@s._3560 Eh, I wouldn't say it's too similar to balsamic vinegar. It is good with Xiao long bao though.
Jimmy bro, you keep saying that you’re allergic to shellfish but you’re always eating it on video. Don’t die on us 😭😭😭

@@jimmykimtvbecareful that's what happened to me, now I can't even touch shellfish.

New fan, just subscribed. You found food in my country that I haven’t even tried and now I wanna try.
Wasting Bak Kut Teh soup is illegal. 😅
We need to riot
mhmmm, and no rice :O
he didnt even have rice with it, crazy. 4.60 for 2 meat XD
Hawk Tuah soup 🤣
This is hands down one of the best street food videos I’ve seen! The variety you showed at [5:30] is fantastic.
Welcome to Singapore! Glad you had lots of affordable and delicious local cuisine that we locals love!
Great video! I really enjoy when you do places that are not the mainstream.
HAHAHA I remember this Hawker centre! the Bak Kut Teh soup is mind blown...I enjoyed it a lot!

9:15 - These little Jimmy moments are why I subscribed! That's why you should keep sharing!!
Thank you for the great video of eating the cheapest Michelin street food 👍
I highly recommend the Black Carrot Cake, incredible dish
you should visit a pasar malam which appears occasionally around the island.
Jimmy, here's hoping you make 600K subscriptions very soon. You are so great and funny.

Jimmy: "Btw I am allergic to shellfish lul"
*continues to eat a huge bowl of lobster and shrimps*
agree with you Jimmy! Tai Wah minced pork noodle is a bit overrate iMHO. Welcome back to Singapore
omg jimmy youre in sg !!!!!! WE LOVE YOUUU
you probably know this already, but yeah the hawker place you visited previously are actually where the good and authentic foods are. These fancy looking food courts with air conditioning are where the food are actually not so good and overpriced. :D
Best way to enjoy laksa: Ditch the chopstick and scoop in the soup with the noodle.

laksa noodles tend not to absorb the broth at all. some stores cut the noodles and you eat it with a spoon instead
I love your videos man ❤
Random but for some reasons your most recent videos haven’t been showing on my suggested 😢, but this video did idk what’s up with the algorithms. Keep it up tho
Ahhhh this is what i need after a long day
U can find street food in the night markets at different locations. They are called Pasar Malam..loads of good food there !😊
A delicious looking man eating delicious looking food! What could be better? The best of both worlds 🎉
great video Jimmy thank you!
Jimmy is type of guy introducing himself a guy with allergic to seafoods😂
I don’t all of those are Michelin star hawker centers. There are not a lot of hawker stores that have michelin star
I always pass by this hawker every time i get the chance to visit singapore ! Duck rice is probably my favorite food to grab ! The price/Taste ratio can't be beat !
Welcome to Singapore Jimmy!
Ohh noo, u didnt get the outram park fried kway teow mee! Thats da bomb and undescriable, you need to come back and try it!! ❤
John Woo Is amazing he produced Mission Impossible 2.... Sick movie ...Love his Dove scenes ..
I like how you're very honest about your palette unlike other youtubes ie Mike Chen
When you only took chopsticks for the Bak Kut Teh, I knew what was about to happen.....
So much fun and so much yummy foods 💜 hahahaha c-pop idol
The food was sooooo good for its price.
Not my first time that a Chinese speaking person thought I was Chinese! I think it's a compliment.
Welcome to Singapore!
The main part of Bak Kut Teh was the broth and you didnt even drink it 😢
@@TappingCSGO oops...
Bak Kut Teh translation = Meat Bone Tea.....you had the meat but forgot the tea (soup) 😅

I'm pretty impressed with how much you can eat.
welcome to SG Jimmy!!
Charming presentation and sense of humour.
Interesting! Their noodles seem to be less absorbent than the typical Korean/Japanese wheat noodle, almost like rice vermicelli. Curious to see if more of the rest of the noodle dishes you try will be of that style.
jimmy i miss shinsegae and korean department stores, i think you should eat in the basement of one of them and go to some of the different stalls
Hi Jimmy! you just met my son in Japan alley, so happy he met you😊
great video little uncle jimmy
Jimmy! I didn't know you were in Singapore until the last day. Nonetheless, hope you had fun 😊
Thank you!!! I had so much fun in Singapore
meet and greet!!
giant crawfish at that pooint thats a lobster lol
Jimmy that Laksa looks really good! I remember you mention you are alergic to shellfish? How much can you eat before something happens? Last video you had many lobsters at the fancy buffet.
4:36 lol, from that part u can make an armor
"Your face like China" 💀
Everything looked great for the price, but I think I'd want to try the ribs you had first the most.
The ribs were great! I felt bad not drinking all of that soup though... Also, many people mistook me for Chinese and Japanese before haha so she didn't surprise me 😅
Singapore, South Korea and Japan, i would love to visit these Asian countries, the only problem for me is money.
wait till jimmy finds out the amount of shrimp paste that goes into laksa
respect for counter strike 1.6 bro
Jimmy needs to do a food tour of China since people think he looks Chinese and he could blend in.
I would love to know how you get from the airport to your destination. How do you know where to go? Are you taking an Uber everywhere? Walking? Renting Vehicles 🚗? Etc. Thank you for your consideration ☺️
the "monster hunter" creature was actually a moreton bay bug
U missed out the famous wanton mee at level 2.. Try next time
Jimmy when will you come to India? Relly enjoy your vlogs and content by the way!!
I’ve been food poisoned in Singapore, it’s always the pre cooked chicken left at room temperature in the Singapore heat that gets me. I think it is just served this way in Muslim countries like Malaysia and Singapore as they sometimes eat with their hands
Go to Bedok 85 Fengshan Food Centre, lots of good food there too.. Also, ngl, the auntie was spot on. You can be mistaken for someone from China.
I sure do miss CS 1.3 and 1.6
only the real ones know jimmy as a valorant youtuber
Hairy noodle is a crazy user😂
Next time, when you order the pork noodle, remember to ask them not to omit the vinegar. Without the black vinegar, it may taste very different and extremely delicious. It may be more delicious than you can imagine.
BTW, you look very much Korean, not Chinese.
Better buy that toaster Jimmy, if you wanna keep enjoying Kaya toast back in Korea.
I think for TaiWah's Pork noodles/bak chor mee is on the pricier side and kind of an over hyped
In some hawker centers you can still get cheaper bak chor mee then what you paid for.
UNCLE Jimmy showing off his muscles
You should try Ya Kun kaya toast!!!
How are you able to finish all those dishes
What type of camera do you use for these videos?
Amazing food trip with a good looking guy. ❤
Hairy noodle ahahhaa mine was RancidTwatWaffel lol I ajusted spelling till the system let me use this tag lol. made many laugh startin up matches.
You didn’t drink the soup of the bkt 😅
I've never eaten a pork rib in my life that wasn't tender though lol. $5 for that seems a bit expensive considering it didn't seem to blow Jimmy away.
You forgot to mention after eating you need to clear the table and return the cutlery 😅
u nv mix the chili in the laksa soup XD
Hey Jimmy, how do you get here from the airport, just wanted to see if it’s viable for someone transiting.
If you ever come to the Philippines again, specifically in Manila. I'd be willing to tour you for free! I'll also help in planning as well :)
