3/18/2024 UPDATE: A lot of comments from viewers correcting me about calling the Wonton Mee "Malaysian style". It was my mistake as I was misinformed. As much as I like comments and it boosts my video ratings on UA-cam's algorithm, hopefully this helps reduce some of the excessive comments about it from new viewers. LOL These are my PERSONAL top foods I love to eat whenever I come back to this beautiful country that I once lived in for almost 3 years. What are some of yours? P.S. Let's remember that food is subjective and not everyone's tastebuds are the same. If any of the food & places I personally enjoy don't align with your opinions, I totally respect that. Just share where you would go so that viewers (including myself) watching / reading can get some value from it for future visits!
Wanton Mee is common in Malaysia as well. However, their dry version is primarily dark soya sauce based. This is Singapore style and we have local mee manufacturers in Singapore and don't source from Malaysia. The wanton mee in Hong Kong is soup version only and their wantons are with prawns.
@@MrDenniswooNo, we have mee manufacturers in Singapore. The Malaysian style is primarily with dark soya sauce and is quite different from our Singapore style.
Wantan noodles in Singapore, there are 2 versions, the one type which is darker in color using dark soy sauce is the Malaysian version while the Singapore type is the one without the dark soy sauce and the meat dumpling is boiled and not deep-fried only the Malaysian version meat dumplings are deep-fried.
Old Airport Hawker Center is like heaven to me. I am always overwhelmed by the food choices but I always ended up eating the western BBQ, without fail, every time. They have their own special garlic sauce and have been around since the 70s.
Old Airport is the dirtiest eating hall in Singapore. It's public toilet was flooded with urine when I went there. The hawkers did not look too clean either. 😢
@@johnlay3040 I won't disagree with you that it could certainly be cleaner but they do have some amazing food. As good practice and for what it's worth, I usually bring sanitary wipes with me to wipe the tables and stuff down before actually eating
Good choices. My favourite hawker centre is Hong Lim. There are at least 6 very famous stalls (s/no 1 to 6) at that hawker centre. Literally the best of the best. 1. Outram Char Kway Teow. 2. Crayfish hor fun. 3. Curry chicken rice (downstairs). 4. Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee. 5. Cantonese Delight. 6. Ji Ji Noodle. 7. Fish soup/porridge (downstairs - left hand corner of centre section) 8. Sungei Trishaw laksa
There is another dish, Hokkein Prawn Noodle Soup on 2nd level few stalls left of the famous Chicken Curry Noodle. Go early before lunch and bring napkins and cash. Hong Lim Food Centre is just behind the Chinatown Point building where the famous Song Fa Bak Kut Teh is. Nearest MRT is Chinatown MRT.
That's so true! Even as a Singaporean, I love watching videos of people exploring food places in Singapore. It's like rediscovering the magic of Singaporean cuisine through someone else's eyes. And you're so right-no matter how far we roam, nothing quite matches the joy of returning home and indulging in our beloved local flavors. It's those familiar tastes and comforting dishes that make Singapore feel like home, no matter where we are in the world. Can't beat that feeling of heading straight for our go-to food spots as soon as we're back home! Returning to Singapore after a long trip always sparks a craving for certain dishes. Kuay Chap, with its wide kway teow noodles in a rich broth, accompanied by tender meats, is a must for that comforting taste of home. And nothing beats the hearty warmth of Pig's Organ Soup! Then there's Mutton Satay, Hokkien Mee, Big Prawn Noodles, Chee Cheong Fun, and Tiong Bahru Chwee Kway-each dish a delicious reminder of the diverse flavors that make Singapore's food scene so special! 🇸🇬🍲🍜🍚🍴
I know only scratched the surface and would love to come back again to discover and cover new places. Thanks for watching the video and offering your own insights as well. The food scene is definitely very special. Much appreciated!
December will be right here before you know it! Have fun revisiting and exploring new gems. Hopefully my video along with some of the comments from other viewers helps you in your planning
Good recommendations! I've tried all of them before. If I may, the Malaysian Wonton Mee is a black sauce that is saltier while the Singaporean version is a red sauce that is sweeter and spicier.
Many tourists complain about petty stuff, no hair nets , gloves etc., well I've was stationed overseas for over 14 years total. Of course it wasn't all at the same time. I spent 9 great days in Hong Kong in1966 and I ate every day at the street vendors, I would walk down a street looking when I saw a meal that looked good I would sit a the small table and chair point at the food and it would be cooked up. I didn't get sick once until I ate at the R Thai af base in northern Thailand .That place looked immaculate but I spent 3 days sick as a dog from the food not being cooked properly.
Proper SG bakchor mee also normally has stewed mushrooms, and sometimes pork liver as well. Try out any local coffee shop's bakchor mee, those should be a lot closer to that.
In general, Food Republic food courts are more expensive than other food courts but yes Ion’s is a a shortcut as it gathers most of the well know brands. If possible, do go to hawker centres as they are more friendly priced and have some gems! Someone mentioned Bedok… Bedok 85/Fengshan food centre is pretty well established. Toa Payoh Lorong 8 food centre has a lot of nice stalls too.
Glad Jeff enjoyed singaporean food. Impressed that he goes to Old Airport Road hawker! That’s a local favourite. Good news is Old Airport Road Hawker will reopen on 1 October 2024! Be hungry!
If you like wan tan mee, you may want to go to Woodlands Street 11, for your wan tan mee fixed. There are 2 coffee shops facimg each other on this street, but only one stall selling wan tan mee. The nearest Mrt station is Marsiling Mrt
Can I also include what I must eat everytime I'm back in Sg? 1. ba chor mee 2. mee siam 3. popiah 4. hokkien mee 5. char kway teow 6. satay 7. kangkong with sambal 8. fish head curry 9. chilli crab 10. kway chup I always put on weight when I'm back😂
@fomoyolotravel I'm not at all particular. I'm happy as long as I have it but for convenience , I'd just go to those in Upper Thomson area as it's near my parents' place.
PAY ATTENTION ALL TOURISTS! OLD AIRPORT ROAD HAWKER CENTRE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSING FOR 4 MONTHS from 1ST JUNE 2024 FOR REPAIRS AND RENOVATION/REMODELING WORKS. PRIOR WARNING SO YOU DON'T GET DISAPPOINTED.
Thanks for sharing this precious info! Next month we will visit Singapore and were already planning to visit Old Airport Hawker Centre. Greetings from Italy ❤
Katong chicken rice is a great choice. My go-to when I worked in the area. The apple pie at Katong shopping center (Dona Manis) was pretty dang good too.
@@mrpolarbearrrrr And yet you don’t posit one that you prefer. There are better ones, but Katong’s is excellent too. Every Singapore food UA-cam video has bores saying this or that chicken rice is “overrated” but they are scared to give their own suggestions because their own choice is going to be panned as “overrated” by some other bore. 😂 It’s not an original contribution, so bore off…
Never had the apple pie but now I have to keep that in mind for next time. I lived in Mount Batten Suites for a while when I was there so Katong Shopping Center was only 2 minutes away. Loved the chicken rice so much and all of the sides and hearty soup they gave
Not bad, surprised that you knew about katong chicken rice! You should try the Beach road Prawn mee @ east coast road. At the same stretch of shops, you should be able to score a fried hokkien prawn mee at nearby kopitiam too. Can also try to feature tai wah bak chor mee, indian rojak , rojak (@whampoa) , fish ball noodles, fishhead or fish slice noodles, local beef parts soup , old airport road has a v.famous pig organ soup at the back row (need to queue for 1 hr) , zion road for chao kuey tiao for next time ....slurp slurp.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I lived right next door to Katong Shopping Center for a while so it was my typical go to for dinner and lunch on the weekends
I’m surprised you called it the malaysian wanton mee. Singapore version is red because of the chilli sauce n the m’sian version is with the dark soya sauce.
Enjoy your time out there! Thank you for watching my content. If you haven’t already seen it as a related video to watch, I actually have another Singapore travel video that covers some things you can do as well as some other food/eateries to potentially try during your stay. The BEST Foodie Layover in Singapore - My Old Home! ua-cam.com/video/gJ3QhjK9p9w/v-deo.html
Quick info - the Lor 9 is actually the shortened form of the street name "Geylang Lorong 9". Lorong is Malay for alley or lane, therefore it's actually Geylang alley/lane 9
The best Malaysia style wanton Mee in SG is bei-ing wanton noodles. Roxy square shopping center. My fav wanton Mee is koung wanton Mee. Now located opposite Aljunied library
I think 'almost' all hawker centres in Singapore has a popular stall and it's really not difficult to find great food in every corner of Singapore. Can't wait to return for another visit from Canada.
There's a spot in NYC Flushing that sells something like this. They usually sell out by early afternoon. You get the noodles with roast pork and fried wontons.
Go to the better hawker centres at bendemeer , Amoy street, Albert and Chinatown or bedok central too on weekdays office hours which ever you not visited
I haven't dined enough at the stalls in the terminals but if you can make it work timewise, I'd get out and go to the food court at the Jewel. Hope that helps!
Think UA-camr got conned at Geylang Lorong 9 frog congee stall. $46 is way too expensive for two frogs and a plate of Kang Kong. Usually, when you order 2 frogs, they’ll add one free frog. Price for the 3 frogs should be less than $20, plain congee will cost about $5 or less (?) and Kang Kong cost between $8-$12. Total would cost less than $40, possibly around $35
My price isn’t far off and I failed to mention we ordered some beverages as well. However, if we were “conned” as you suggest, then that’s unfortunate but it does happen
I have eaten all over the world never got sick on local food. These folks seemed never to use gloves, never wore hair nets. Its usually petty a++ Americans who complain. I just went to certain countries met and enjoyed the local folks and their food .😋
@@fomoyolotravelfyi, there is Ah Tai chicken rice also located within Maxwell hawker centreif you decide to go there again. The boss of Ah Tai used to work at Tian Tian before they started to batch produce their stuff (aka "industrialisation") and left to open his own shop because he insists on fresh production of the food he sells. Many people have also reviewed that they prefer his chicken rice over Tian Tian's.
Thank you for that. I do recall another viewer in my other recent video mentioned this too. The next time I'm in Singapore for a longer stay, I'll definitely hit up multiple chicken rice locations and maybe even do a video comparing 3-5 of them :)
I have tried the one you mentioned 2 stalls down as well. It was good too but for me, Hua Kee hits the spot. And yes, lots of comments from other viewers about me calling it Malaysian style. It was my mistake as I was misinformed 😉
frog leg porridge with kangkong, a cultured list indeed its rare to see people who didn't grow up in SEA be willing to try the less popular types of meat edit: i know that bai ji fan(white chicken rice) is the short-formed version from the origin of the name which is 白斩鸡(bai zhan ji, white chopped chicken) but i actually don't know why we translated it to steamed chicken in english perhaps it might simply be due to our ancestors poor english skills back in the day and the term simply stuck around despite knowing that white chicken is not steamed but poached another dish that has translation error is "carrot cake" , which is actually made from radishes and not carrots (radish are called white carrots in chinese)
Thank you for watching til the end :) You're totally right and I kept calling it "steamed" too in another video even though I always knew it was aka boiled/poached. When I first tried "carrot cake" many years back, I always wondered why it was called that too because growing up eating something similar in Cantonese cuisines, it was always known to me as turnip cake.
No, I was wrong to call it “Malaysian style” as I was previously misinformed and some others have already clarified in other comments below. Hope that helps!
@@fomoyolotravel Love 🙏I'm staying in Malaysia. Most of the wanton mee here is mixed with black sauce. I was told by a local that it is not the same without the black sauce.
@@crislin2502 I don’t think I’ve ever had the actual Malaysian style with the dark sauce. The way the sauce here with the chili is quite amazing for me but perhaps on a future trip out to Malaysia I will get a chance to truly compare & contrast. I do want to go to Ipoh, Melacca, and Penang. Good luck out there! I’ve only ever been to KL & JB and Rawa Island didn’t really count in my book 🤣
@@fomoyolotravel My favourite wanton mee stall in Singapore is from this 92 year old granny in Che Kitchen, Toa Payoh. The stall is called Nam Seng. Also try her deer meat hor fun. 👍
Jeff I fully agreed with u that this wan ton needle stall is real DELICIOUS !!!!! Never mind others NEGATIVE replies. U've me standing side by side with u !!!!!
Thanks for watching and yes, nobody can change my mind about how delicious the wanton mee is there. Haha thanks for having my back! The negative and deliberately hurtful comments actually just make me laugh. Losers focus on Winners 🤣
For how long? On my visit to Singapore last yesr, some of my favourite hawkers have retired. Once the stall holders have received their michelin star, the quality of their food goes down. Malaysia has now got better food on offer.
Yah…. I was surprised too 🤔 I avoid Malaysian style which has blackish sauce . I like the ketchup & chilli sauce version. Ok .. I’ll go & patronise from Hua Kee.
If it makes you feel better, I meant to say “Southeast Asian style wonton mee” but I was initially told by someone in Singapore that this type of wonton mee is predominantly served in Malaysia. Feel free to correct me and add some additional color / more info on exactly where this style of noodles originated. That’s all I care about because it is so darn good and I love it 😉
@fomoyolotravel Whoever told you is incorrect. Malaysian wanton mee usually has a dark soysauce and pork oil flavour profile. Do check our Engs Char siew wanton mee which is old school Singaporean wanton mee with the option of adding a super spicy chili sauce. It is flavoured by pork oil and there is no sauce. Great featuring lesser known stores like ah ma chi mian! Loving your content!
Take a bus ride or drive across to Johor and you get all the authentic wanton mee and hawker’s food. You can get authentic Musang King durian too as dessert 😊
It really was an honest mistake as mentioned in all of the comments before you. There’s no real need to get so worked up. Would you talk to me / someone like that in person during a normal conversation like the way your comment is coming across?
❤THE MAN HIMSELF MUST. ALL YOUR CHOOSING OF FOOD. VERY PERFECT. KEEP GOING…….EAT WHEN HUNGRY. STOP WHEN FULL…..I NEVER WORRY. EATING A LOT. ONE DAY. 15 MENU. WALKING 6 KM….BEHIND ME A GOOD DOCTOR MY SON AND GOOD WIFE. CONTROL MY MONEY. THANKS YOU. MFROM BOISE IDAHO USA
Jeff, try the food in Malaysia, especially Ipoh, Klang Valley & Penang. My daughter just got back from Taylor Swift's concert in Singapore. And she said Singapore Chinese food pales in comparison to Malaysia, Michelin or no Micgelin star(s)
I believe you in that the food there will be amazing as well. I have not had a chance to eat in Malaysia proper but would love to spend more time out there someday!
agreed. Chilli pan mee, my favourite malaysian hawker food not available in Singapore 😮 I'm an ex Singaporean, I've queued at all the Michelin hawkers in Singapore, not impressed.
I dont think u know singaporeans only like bak chor mee. If not why every hawker centre/food court have. A good chilli pan mee is not better than a good bak chor mee. U need vinegar to give a good kick to your noodles. U all only use dark and light soy sauce for everything. KL hokkien mee, wantan mee, kolo mee, penang char kuay teow....
Ah yea, sorry dude, I tried switching / testing out Moment lens for my most recent Asia trip and found it a bit hazy as well with my iPhone vlog setup unfortunately. Oh well, it is what it is. Hopefully my message about the actual great Singapore food is more clear for you 😉
For me, even without any sauce it’s still got a nice flavor but I do prefer the skin on as well. Doctor advises against it though but she’s never Hainanese Chicken Rice 😉
Mmm.??. Yes, S'pore is good, better than most other hawker styles in South East Asia.I still think M'sia still has an edge over S'pore. And the exchange rate makes it a lot cheaper. There is also Ipoh, where many streets has its own special hawker variety..and everyone knows about Penang. But many do not know about the Malay style Nasi Lemak where every state has its own twist of accompaniments.
Thank you for commenting and I haven’t spent enough time in Malaysia (only KL & JB mainly). I’ve heard great things about Ipoh as well but did not know of the variety of Nasi Lemak throughout the country but would love to check it out someday
That’s funny 😂. I want to know where you go for the “non lousy” stuff then so I can try next time or are you also going to keep it a secret like 90% of people with comments like this? Sharing is caring 😉
Just smash that dislike button and you won’t ever see this unmannered “savage” in your UA-cam feed again. Thank you for watching though. I’m sure it must have been really tough
Bahkut teh originated from klang Malaysia, Kaisii hor fun from ipoh, ngar chor kai from ipoh, and many more chinese dishes from Malaysia....now Singapore has all these foods but i m not sure about orginality....they cant claim its theirs....please do more research ...
Bah Kut teh originated from Chinese workers working near the sea port, basically in Port Klang, Malacca and Singapore. The Hokkien and Teochew have different methods of preparing it. Who first? Well, which port first, which port bigger or more popular? Anyway, it’s that important? Nasi Lemak who first, Malaysia or Indonesia? ….. and don’t forget Singapore was also a Malay fishing village too
And I always tell people who claim credits for food. All the food you eat and love in Malaysia, they are ALL from immigrants from around the world. Food you grew up eating back in Malaysia is not anyone’s to claim. It’s all about how to make something humble to global stage
@@marcusgoh73 totally agree it does not originate from both places. Stop saying it’s stolen from Malaysia. HOWEVER, it’s Singapore that brought these food to international stage 🤪 YUSHENG that’s getting more recognition nowadays are definitely a creation by Singapore though 🤪
You're the one that needs to do more research. Singapore / Malaysia's BKT is different. They just got the same name. Singapore version is pepper based whereas Malaysia is herbal based.
Hahahaha come to Singapore to eat "Malaysian Style" Wanton Mee. If you think Singapore Food is good, you ain't seen nothing yet. Singapore Food is like Baby Food in South East Asia. When you come to Malaysia, we will show you what is REAL GOOD FOOD instead of this Imitation Crap that you've been eating. "Malaysian Style Wanton Mee" indeed. 😂😂😂
Yes, remember to bring diarrhea pills and more money as well to visit hospital when you get food poisoning for eating unclean & unhygienic food in Malaysia
3/18/2024 UPDATE: A lot of comments from viewers correcting me about calling the Wonton Mee "Malaysian style". It was my mistake as I was misinformed. As much as I like comments and it boosts my video ratings on UA-cam's algorithm, hopefully this helps reduce some of the excessive comments about it from new viewers. LOL
These are my PERSONAL top foods I love to eat whenever I come back to this beautiful country that I once lived in for almost 3 years. What are some of yours?

Quick info - the Lor 9 is actually the shortened form of the street name "Geylang Lorong 9". Lorong is Malay for alley or lane, therefore it's actually Geylang alley/lane 9
Thank you and that was my understanding/assumption as well but thank you for sharing that detail 👍🏼
Kway Chap, Hokkien Mee, Char Kway Teow, Ipoh Hor Fun, etc... all very nice
reading this makes me hungry
The best Malaysia style wanton Mee in SG is bei-ing wanton noodles. Roxy square shopping center. My fav wanton Mee is koung wanton Mee. Now located opposite Aljunied library
Thank you for the suggestion
I think 'almost' all hawker centres in Singapore has a popular stall and it's really not difficult to find great food in every corner of Singapore. Can't wait to return for another visit from Canada.
There's a spot in NYC Flushing that sells something like this. They usually sell out by early afternoon. You get the noodles with roast pork and fried wontons.
I’m well overdue for a trip to NYC. Thanks for sharing. Any idea what area it is located?
Go to the better hawker centres at bendemeer , Amoy street, Albert and Chinatown or bedok central too on weekdays office hours which ever you not visited
I’m always up for exploring new places for food. Just need to know where so I appreciate the suggestions 👍🏼
Haig Road Food Centre - Kiat Huat Wanton Mee is good too
I believe you 😉
Like your comprehensive comments.
I appreciate that and thanks to all of the other viewers providing suggestions as well
Reminder drink more water all the best✌️✌️
Water cures everything 😜
The food are very cheap and affordable 👍👍
Famous Wan Ton - great choice.
I ate it at least once a week when I lived out there. Easy and convenient bus ride from my home on Mount Batten Rd at the time
Welcome back Jeff
Thank you for the warm welcome!
Try aunty ' s satay stall , better than lau pa sa . Must go ,eat best chendol at beauty world hawker .
Thank you again for sharing 🙏🏻
Thanks Jeff for sharing. Even though I stayed in SG all my life I have never been these places. I am going now, today and tomorrow 😅.
You are very lucky to have so many amazing food options to choose from now, today, tomorrow, and the rest of your life 😉
Any suggestions for the stalls inside the chang yi airport if I have a laid over for the connecting flight??
I haven't dined enough at the stalls in the terminals but if you can make it work timewise, I'd get out and go to the food court at the Jewel. Hope that helps!
Ice Cream Waffle/Sandwich from Orchard Rd Uncle! :D
Mango ice cream with the bread is usually my goto 😀
Hup Hup Mee Siam at 80 circuit road is very nice
Thank you for the recommendation 🙏🏻
May fav food in sembewang, wanton mee black
Sounds delicious 🤤
Think UA-camr got conned at Geylang Lorong 9 frog congee stall. $46 is way too expensive for two frogs and a plate of Kang Kong. Usually, when you order 2 frogs, they’ll add one free frog. Price for the 3 frogs should be less than $20, plain congee will cost about $5 or less (?) and Kang Kong cost between $8-$12. Total would cost less than $40, possibly around $35
My price isn’t far off and I failed to mention we ordered some beverages as well. However, if we were “conned” as you suggest, then that’s unfortunate but it does happen
I have eaten all over the world never got sick on local food. These folks seemed never to use gloves, never wore hair nets. Its usually petty a++ Americans who complain. I just went to certain countries met and enjoyed the local folks and their food .😋
Try kam roast at ion food court.Tien tien chicken is okay but not the too oily rice .
Thank you for sharing!
@@fomoyolotravelfyi, there is Ah Tai chicken rice also located within Maxwell hawker centreif you decide to go there again. The boss of Ah Tai used to work at Tian Tian before they started to batch produce their stuff (aka "industrialisation") and left to open his own shop because he insists on fresh production of the food he sells. Many people have also reviewed that they prefer his chicken rice over Tian Tian's.
Thank you for that. I do recall another viewer in my other recent video mentioned this too. The next time I'm in Singapore for a longer stay, I'll definitely hit up multiple chicken rice locations and maybe even do a video comparing 3-5 of them :)
i love h.k authentic noodle n char chew pork !
I do too. Don’t get me wrong but this style is pretty amazing as well 😛
I prefer the wonton mee 2 stalls down - Cho Kee is much better. The wonton mee in SG is not Malaysian style, which is normally darker in colour.
I have tried the one you mentioned 2 stalls down as well. It was good too but for me, Hua Kee hits the spot.
And yes, lots of comments from other viewers about me calling it Malaysian style. It was my mistake as I was misinformed 😉
frog leg porridge with kangkong, a cultured list indeed
its rare to see people who didn't grow up in SEA be willing to try the less popular types of meat
edit:
i know that bai ji fan(white chicken rice) is the short-formed version from the origin of the name which is 白斩鸡(bai zhan ji, white chopped chicken)
but i actually don't know why we translated it to steamed chicken in english
perhaps it might simply be due to our ancestors poor english skills back in the day and the term simply stuck around despite knowing that white chicken is not steamed but poached
another dish that has translation error is "carrot cake" , which is actually made from radishes and not carrots (radish are called white carrots in chinese)
Thank you for watching til the end :)
You're totally right and I kept calling it "steamed" too in another video even though I always knew it was aka boiled/poached. When I first tried "carrot cake" many years back, I always wondered why it was called that too because growing up eating something similar in Cantonese cuisines, it was always known to me as turnip cake.
The most delicious food in the world is in Singapore .
💯💯💯
Why is it Malaysian style not Singapore style wanton mein since the shop you found is in Singapore? Is the owner Malaysian?
No, I was wrong to call it “Malaysian style” as I was previously misinformed and some others have already clarified in other comments below. Hope that helps!
@@fomoyolotravel Love 🙏I'm staying in Malaysia. Most of the wanton mee here is mixed with black sauce. I was told by a local that it is not the same without the black sauce.
@@crislin2502 I don’t think I’ve ever had the actual Malaysian style with the dark sauce. The way the sauce here with the chili is quite amazing for me but perhaps on a future trip out to Malaysia I will get a chance to truly compare & contrast. I do want to go to Ipoh, Melacca, and Penang.
Good luck out there! I’ve only ever been to KL & JB and Rawa Island didn’t really count in my book 🤣
@@fomoyolotravel My favourite wanton mee stall in Singapore is from this 92 year old granny in Che Kitchen, Toa Payoh. The stall is called Nam Seng. Also try her deer meat hor fun. 👍
@@fomoyolotravel Dark Sauce wanton mee is a must try from Pontian, Johor. They have branches in Singapore. Not sure if they are the same.
❤❤❤
Totally agree on your first choice wanton. It has a smoked flavour which nobody has it.
Thanks for checking out my video

Hello,,,, How do you go about to get the best food?
Just keep eating? 😉
Where is this hawker center ?
Old Airport Road Food Center
g.co/kgs/ph2NxF5
From June 2024 to October 2024, at least 4 months closed, reopen on November 2024, Old Airport Hawker Centre will be closed for renovation
Thank you for sharing. Great info!
Jeff
I fully agreed with u that this wan ton needle stall is real DELICIOUS !!!!!
Never mind others NEGATIVE replies. U've me standing side by side with u !!!!!
Thanks for watching and yes, nobody can change my mind about how delicious the wanton mee is there.
Haha thanks for having my back! The negative and deliberately hurtful comments actually just make me laugh. Losers focus on Winners 🤣
Delicious
For how long? On my visit to Singapore last yesr, some of my favourite hawkers have retired. Once the stall holders have received their michelin star, the quality of their food goes down. Malaysia has now got better food on offer.
Looking forward to seeing more of Malaysia some day. What cities do you suggest?
👩🏻 : هل سنغافورة بلد الاطعمه ؟
👩🏻🦰: نعم
👩🏻: إذا هيا بنا إلى سنغافورة 😂😂
Not malaysian wanton mee. Hope it clarify
geylang lor 9 frog porridge is mehhh... Go to geylang lor 15 is way better
For me, it was not mehhh but I’m open to trying somewhere else for sure. Will consider trying that one you mentioned next time
307 Changi road Katong laksa
PUT LAU DONG LAI, DONG NAI LAI LAO!!
Umm ok…
Escuse me, ‘malaysian style wanton mee’…? Er…??
Yah…. I was surprised too 🤔 I avoid Malaysian style which has blackish sauce . I like the ketchup & chilli sauce version. Ok .. I’ll go & patronise from Hua Kee.
He is comparing it with Hong Kong style.
If it makes you feel better, I meant to say “Southeast Asian style wonton mee” but I was initially told by someone in Singapore that this type of wonton mee is predominantly served in Malaysia. Feel free to correct me and add some additional color / more info on exactly where this style of noodles originated. That’s all I care about because it is so darn good and I love it 😉
@fomoyolotravel Whoever told you is incorrect. Malaysian wanton mee usually has a dark soysauce and pork oil flavour profile. Do check our Engs Char siew wanton mee which is old school Singaporean wanton mee with the option of adding a super spicy chili sauce. It is flavoured by pork oil and there is no sauce. Great featuring lesser known stores like ah ma chi mian! Loving your content!
@@teojoel9612 great info! Thank you for adding some additional color 👍🏼. Also, thank you for watching and supporting the channel
Love the way slurp up the wanton noodle. Yummy lickin good.
Amazingly delicious!
Take a bus ride or drive across to Johor and you get all the authentic wanton mee and hawker’s food. You can get authentic Musang King durian too as dessert 😊

We don't need Malaysia wanton mee ! This is a local one, Malaysia wanton mee with black sauce! If you not sure just keep it to yourself
It really was an honest mistake as mentioned in all of the comments before you. There’s no real need to get so worked up. Would you talk to me / someone like that in person during a normal conversation like the way your comment is coming across?
OP AF wanton mee
❤THE MAN HIMSELF MUST. ALL YOUR CHOOSING OF FOOD. VERY PERFECT. KEEP GOING…….EAT WHEN HUNGRY. STOP WHEN FULL…..I NEVER WORRY. EATING A LOT. ONE DAY. 15 MENU. WALKING 6 KM….BEHIND ME A GOOD DOCTOR MY SON AND GOOD WIFE. CONTROL MY MONEY. THANKS YOU. MFROM BOISE IDAHO USA
Jeff, try the food in Malaysia, especially Ipoh, Klang Valley & Penang. My daughter just got back from Taylor Swift's concert in Singapore. And she said Singapore Chinese food pales in comparison to Malaysia, Michelin or no Micgelin star(s)
I believe you in that the food there will be amazing as well. I have not had a chance to eat in Malaysia proper but would love to spend more time out there someday!
Is the last line necessary? Feeling sour from within? Just enjoy your food then😂😂
@@rogertan8239 🤣
agreed. Chilli pan mee, my favourite malaysian hawker food not available in Singapore 😮 I'm an ex Singaporean, I've queued at all the Michelin hawkers in Singapore, not impressed.
I dont think u know singaporeans only like bak chor mee. If not why every hawker centre/food court have. A good chilli pan mee is not better than a good bak chor mee. U need vinegar to give a good kick to your noodles. U all only use dark and light soy sauce for everything. KL hokkien mee, wantan mee, kolo mee, penang char kuay teow....
dude, your lens is smudged.
Ah yea, sorry dude, I tried switching / testing out Moment lens for my most recent Asia trip and found it a bit hazy as well with my iPhone vlog setup unfortunately. Oh well, it is what it is. Hopefully my message about the actual great Singapore food is more clear for you 😉
Steam chicken without the skin is tasteless 🤚
For me, even without any sauce it’s still got a nice flavor but I do prefer the skin on as well. Doctor advises against it though but she’s never Hainanese Chicken Rice 😉
You are cantonese
Born in the states but proud of my Cantonese heritage for sure
They always expensive than others 😊 place . selling food can make big money 💰💵💵💵
Good for them as long as it’s not ridiculously priced. I get it, they have to survive as a business too
Mmm.??. Yes, S'pore is good, better than most other hawker styles in South East Asia.I still think M'sia still has an edge over S'pore. And the exchange rate makes it a lot cheaper. There is also Ipoh, where many streets has its own special hawker variety..and everyone knows about Penang. But many do not know about the Malay style Nasi Lemak where every state has its own twist of accompaniments.
Thank you for commenting and I haven’t spent enough time in Malaysia (only KL & JB mainly). I’ve heard great things about Ipoh as well but did not know of the variety of Nasi Lemak throughout the country but would love to check it out someday

Definitely warm & humid there. My body never got used to it, the mind just learned to tolerate it
3:35 I love Asia but this slurping is still super disgusting to me, and I was thinking a US guy would not have those manners
Just smash that dislike button and you won’t ever see this unmannered “savage” in your UA-cam feed again. Thank you for watching though. I’m sure it must have been really tough
SG doesn’t have good wonton like sgv!
I'm sorry, but what is "sgv"?
@@fomoyolotravelSan Gabriel valley
That's not traditional bean curd,that's pudding....
Maybe tell that to the owners of the shop?
Hate it, I just lost my appetite when they charge customers money and serve the food on plastic ware instead of proper flate ware.
😂😂😂😂😂
You yet to try Malaysian foods. 😅.
I do like a good Nasi Lemak! Give me some time 🤣

Bahkut teh originated from klang Malaysia, Kaisii hor fun from ipoh, ngar chor kai from ipoh, and many more chinese dishes from Malaysia....now Singapore has all these foods but i m not sure about orginality....they cant claim its theirs....please do more research ...
Bah Kut teh originated from Chinese workers working near the sea port, basically in Port Klang, Malacca and Singapore. The Hokkien and Teochew have different methods of preparing it. Who first? Well, which port first, which port bigger or more popular? Anyway, it’s that important? Nasi Lemak who first, Malaysia or Indonesia? ….. and don’t forget Singapore was also a Malay fishing village too
And I always tell people who claim credits for food. All the food you eat and love in Malaysia, they are ALL from immigrants from around the world. Food you grew up eating back in Malaysia is not anyone’s to claim. It’s all about how to make something humble to global stage
@@conan2209Exactly the SAME goes for Singapore as well that they are ALL from immigrant backgrounds no?
@@marcusgoh73 totally agree it does not originate from both places. Stop saying it’s stolen from Malaysia. HOWEVER, it’s Singapore that brought these food to international stage 🤪 YUSHENG that’s getting more recognition nowadays are definitely a creation by Singapore though 🤪
You're the one that needs to do more research. Singapore / Malaysia's BKT is different. They just got the same name. Singapore version is pepper based whereas Malaysia is herbal based.
Too much starch for your good
I think you meant to say “too much starch for your own good”
Hahahaha come to Singapore to eat "Malaysian Style" Wanton Mee. If you think Singapore Food is good, you ain't seen nothing yet. Singapore Food is like Baby Food in South East Asia. When you come to Malaysia, we will show you what is REAL GOOD FOOD instead of this Imitation Crap that you've been eating. "Malaysian Style Wanton Mee" indeed. 😂😂😂
Yes, remember to bring diarrhea pills and more money as well to visit hospital when you get food poisoning for eating unclean & unhygienic food in Malaysia
