It is so refreshing to hear someone in Singapore speaking a dialect, Hokkien. I do understand Hokkien as I am Hainanese. Technically speaking, you are trilingual - English, Mandarin and Hokkien (albeit a dialect). BTW what is your mother tongue? I watched your entire video without blinking, it is awesome with a healthy touch of humour thrown in. Please keep it up, as I live in Australia and would rely on someone like you to give me a local insight of places that a visitor/tourist will NEVER get to see. On my next visit, Fook Hai building will be on my list. I will be watching your videos from now on for more places to put on my list. On behalf of ALL visitors, thank you very, very much.
Hello! MT would be mandarin lah, dialect technically Teochew but I can't really speak it well unfortunately haha. Hope you enjoy touring a different side of SG whenever you're back!
I once sold vintage toys n new board games at China Square (across South Bridge Road) for a couple of weekends cos my friend needed a last minute backup for someone who couldn't operate his booth, that was more than a decade ago. Years later I learnt that the China Square weekend flea market was discontinued (sadly) but I didn't know that the vendors have actually moved over to Fook Hai building n continued with their business aka hobby. It was fun being a vendor during that time cos I can waked around to look at others' wares n chat with some of them. I'm a big toy lover cum mini-collector. I will bundle a trip to visit the White Rabbit candy shop at Hong Lim Complex with this Fook Hai weekend flea one of these weekends to take a look. Thanks for all the recommendations.
thanks for documenting my neighbourhood. you gave me something to look back on if years later i moved to somewhere else. and through your video, it's like 我从新认识了我长大的地方 because we sometimes just stick to our rountine and forget to see what else is out there.
I made a detour to dabao the iced Vietnamese coffee after watching this video! Thanks for the recommendation, looking forward to more in future episodes!
On 14jun2018, i went walking around chinatown and came across a collectible shop in a building i had forgotten which building it was.. until today when i watched this video. That was the man, with alot of yesteryears items that were very fascinating to look at, some very familiar to me. I rem he mentioned mediacorp goes to him to borrow stuff, and that he was some kind of military officer when he was young, there were many photos of him in the shop. He was very friendly and doesnt make u feel u hv to buy anything. Thank you for this trip, now i know that building i went to was fook hai. I only remember it was slightly dimly lit, has random 2 step stairs and there would be a shop at random corner on its own, the layout is unique that it is not all in a row.
Went to the Vietnamese restaurant, ordered the iced coffee and chicken supreme pho. Both good. Added the recommended condiments and veg to the soup, so comfort food on a rainy day. I was there on rainy day, shiok!
Omg, I remember the Milo tin thing from when I was a kid and the whisk too. 😄 Both the shops very interesting. Your sister use all that stuff at the end with the pouch she bought for what job? I thought she was a hairdresser at first. 😅
OMG didn’t know the other side of building has food places. I always just go to Hong Lim Food Centre. There was also the milo that you liked. Today again more interesting individuals crossed your path. 😊
Thanks so much for coming to my building! I'm the owner of Gear Oil Cafe. You passed by my shop, unit B1-06, I hope you enjoyed your visit. Please come by again, I'd be glad to show you my Hotwheels and Record collection! Thanks! ✌️
Hi, I'm a new subscriber, didn't know u were a radio DJ... no wonder ur voice sound so DJ-ish....😅😅😅😅 And u siblings seem really close, always hearing u all mention each other in the video...
Feels like opening up a pandora box or Alice in Wonderland adventure for many of us. Bet many people like me have never stepped into Fook Hai building our whole life.
I kind of agree. It’s available readily but a lot of them are quite.. meh. Btw, I dunno why but this pho has a slight kambing taste. Just stating it in case u really seriously can’t take that kind of taste
@@HongisBored last time when I worked around there, there was once I was so tired of being an adult, and I went there for dinner alone, and the piping hot soup made me tear up a little 🥲 too heart warming
Watched your video yesterday and I specifically went down today with the intention to lim the ice coffee but the queue is super damn long.. 😅 didnt manage to drink it. Nonetheless, + 1 like to your video!
You introduced, we go 😂 The flea market is fun.... I already bought things from the first store.... Lol... Thank you Drinking the Vietnamese Kopi now....

Personally I find the soup pretty sweet with meat juices, which I enjoy. But somehow jiejie and I did get a taste of mutton in there, which was weird n possibly unacceptable to some. Coz we ordered a beef pho 😅
