First time I'd seen self service curry with roti prata. In Penang where I used to live, it is called roti canai. Stalls are a plenty, some of the best, even compared to KL, Singapore and elsewhere. Roti canai costs MYR 1-3 a piece, served with a small dish of chicken or fish curry and dhal. If you want mutton curry, there is a small up charge. Thank you, Piggypuggy, for this long video. I appreciate yr hard work and enjoy watching. You are one of my favorite UA-camrs 👍
@@Piggypuggy that's right, it used to be 50 cents SGD back in the day and it was 1:1 to ringit. Not any longer. I think inflation hit harder in Singapore where prices increased faster than Malaysia.
@ 25:20 Hello my friend, forget about taking that small plate of curry when u self served, just scoop and pour over the prata with curry until it is soaked and drenched and eat with bare hands. Btw this is a very cool place where it is known as the last frontiers of singapore in the past. Cheers
I ate at 'Fishball Story' at Bugis and it was indeed one of the best mee pok tah I've eaten in many moons. I was thinking very hard about this, and unfortunately, we cannot depend only on hawker stalls to conserve the last of our food heritage cause the overheads in Singapore are just too high. Cannot be helped in the long run. If you want something good, then you have to be prepared to pay for it.
Just wondering how come u did not visit the stretch facing the coffeeshop, which is behind the wantan mee stall mr huang at 10:08 There is a popular kway chap stall always long queue and a curry png stall at the corner last stall also very popular and hotcake one
All of the food looks amazingly good , all of them the rotis I would love to try I had rotis sixty five years ago I still remember what was tested like.
Tengah was very ulu when I was a kid, we lived there from April 1970 until July 1971 when we returned to the UK. Turn left at Bukit Panjang onto the Chua Chu Kang rd, just kampongs in those days
It’s been 50 years.. you have such vivid memory of Singapore’s roads and estates 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 back then it was all pig and vegetable farms.. Sungei Buloh.. Tengah.. chua Chu Kang was still all vegetation right up till 80s.. was errie at night.. with lots of cemeteries 👻
Singapore sorta stopped building hawker centres since the mid 90s.. so those new towns have more of local coffee shops to replace a full scale hawker c. I’m not sure if there’s any around rhe woodlands area. Furthest was Cranberra hawker at Sembawang
There is a french word that kind of describes what you're looking for in People Watching - Le Flâneur. It loosely means someone that just observes/watches society. I guess there can be a Singaporean word for people watching at hawker centres now - Le piggypuggy
🤣 Le piggypuggy.. in Singapore.. we call it Kaypoh jeee Meaning “busy body” Not minding my own biz.. Now that explains why the French cafes have seats facing out the streets 😂.. to people watch
never gone so far.... one day will try. many nice food and price seems cheaper than other hawker. The prata you should go for "mandi" (aka bathe in malay) and they will pour the curry over the prata. Tips: you should tear the ikan bilis bag along the edged side, the v grooves provide assist to tearing.
Cannot leh.. I tried. Maybe hands too oily. Or packet a bit oily.. it’d be quite a drive too for you.. morn AYE Always jam.. I took the viaduct alongside Sentosa and Telok Blangah towards Pandan gardens. Do try the duck noodles and Prata first.. sold out by 10 😅 Next time I try to order Mandi.. see if my ah neh Prata shop knows it.
the wanton mee stall, actually the chicken feet noodles and the pork ribs noodles are the best... the roti prata stall is the one and only prata i eat with mutton curry because it is that much better than fish curry...
Wah Boon Lay Place. My territory for 17 long years when I stayed in Jurong. A lot of new hawkers, but some regulars are still there. Still go there once a month to buy kway chup and nasi lemak. And yes, that lady in red fries a very good cha kway teow and orh luak. Hidden gem.
Wow.. that's quite an investment driving all the way there once a mth 😂 but the food is worth the drive alright.. the kway chap you referring to is from that 24hr 🦆 stall? Duck noodles I missed super?
Watching this episode i hv mixed feelings, familiar yet sad. Lived right next block above the shopping centre from 1999 to 2021. Knew most hawkers featured in the video, yet also some newcomers ive never seen there before. That ahpek 1956 carrot cake no longer fries carrot cake after jul 2020. Too risky for him to do during covid. I miss him cos he knows every other morning except monday i go tabao from him. I stopped buying from the stall after he passed it on to his daughter n son in law, taste changed totally. I hope he is doing well retiring at home ❤
Many of them just disappeared without a trace.. I was saddened when some of my favourite hawkers that I see so regularly closed down their stalls.. I didn’t even get to say goodbye nor to know if they are doing well.. the most heart breaking would be to hear that they had some illness and could no longer continue.. these people spent their lives serving the community and yet they quietly bid us farewell with a signage that they are closed.. I already see some of the seniors in my past videos that are now replaced by a new face.. I also dare not ask what happened to uncle or if he’s doin ok
@@Piggypuggy i know exactly how u feel. The feeling that they just stopped and they not even want to announce and no one knew abt it, it felt like they just quietly left and we dont even get a chance to tell them we will miss them 🥺 or dont know where to find them to ask how they are now. They hv become part of our lives without us realising it until they are no more
@@apschweiz yeah.. 🥹 Makes it worse if you’ve known them since childhood for over 30-40 years. Unsung National Heroes. Hope that know that their customers really miss them
North only got Chong Pang.. as the only older hawker left.. the newer Sembawang hawker just doesn’t bring these kinda old hawker feel 😅 but it’s ok.. we can be our own tourist in Singapore
Of course.. lots of people do.. some even have 2 big bottles after a bowl of noodles 😂 But new rule is no alcohol sales after 10pm.. you can’t even get it from 7-11 combini stores

Youngsters these days are not prepared to earn mediocre pay if they wanna carry on the hawker heritage.. everybody needs a car and a condo
@@Piggypuggy I don't even have a driver's license and I am happy forever staying in a HDB and this is the path to happiness.
Ahh... you've achieved Nirvana..
Simplicity.. come with nothin.. go with nothin.. enjoy everything in btw.. 😊

Going up further, there is a kopitiam food shop, where they sell Burmese food, Vietnamese Pho.

@@Piggypuggy It was very isolated compared to Changi! There was a village called Bulim which vanished years ago.
Thank you

Fresh and delicious 🤤😊
The attractions furthest away are many times the most authentic! Have you been to Woodlands centres, too?

Mind sharing the Camera you’re using ? And video editing software ?
😅 it’s not the equipment..
It’s the editing that drives one crazy..

The nasi lemak rice look good, with the crispy chicken wing, 😋👍😄
Try to catch it when then wings are freshly fried.. and open the peanuts first 😅😅

Watching this on a rainy day in Perth, wishing I was in Singapore having Roti prata with a teh tarik. 😃
😂 hey.. they sell those packet pratas at Asian mart? I usually pan fry them and have it with home made curry
@@Piggypuggy yes I have some in my freezer. Not the same experience as sitting in a Singaporean hawker Ctr. 😃

Watched on smart TV (not phone for better visual effect 😬) Nice food 👍
You can buy 1 plain prata for 1.30? Most places I'm near require that you buy 2 prata minimum.
Now that you mentioned.. it's true most places require you purchase at least 2.. and they're even goin for $2 for kosong
Wow! The price gone up, 😄
Yes.. some $4 now.. used to be $3
But still cheaper than those in town where $5 is like the unspoken standard now.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Chandra 😊
5:14 Most probable it's chickens from Kampung Kuning 🤪
That explains its Royal Yellow Skin? 😂
Mr piggy are you a retiree ? 😊 thanks for almost an hour video 🎉 enjoy all the hawker videos!
Im a full time UA-camr 😂
But it doesn’t feed me enuf 🤣
What about you Shawn?
Still in CBD ?
@@Piggypuggy must post more if full time 😂 , I’m in cbd!
i wish north side got such many varieties, unfortunately no bleh
North only got Chong Pang.. as the only older hawker left.. the newer Sembawang hawker just doesn’t bring these kinda old hawker feel 😅 but it’s ok.. we can be our own tourist in Singapore
@@Piggypuggy yeah the new Canberra hawker don’t even have soya bean, cui kueh which is staple breakfast. Chong pang hawker also very small
Hey piggypuggy. When you're finish covering the hawker centres why not cover the hawkers in coffee shops.
Is it allowed to drink a cold beer with your lunch?
Of course.. lots of people do.. some even have 2 big bottles after a bowl of noodles 😂
But new rule is no alcohol sales after 10pm.. you can’t even get it from 7-11 combini stores
@@Piggypuggy Suppose I want to have a beer at 11pm. Where should I go?
Find someone who already has a beer 🤣..
It’s wise to get some and keep in the hotel
Best roti prata in Jurong
Indeed very satisfying.. for $1.30
