Soon Kuey is made with shredded Bamboo shoots, turnips and dried shrimps for its fillings. The sweet dip is sweet soy sauce meant to go with the "kuey". This is a traditional Teochew (one of the major chinese ethnics in Singapore culture) snack, it is a diminishing recipe as it is tedious to make, and youngsters do not fancy them anymore. Glad you tried them! As for wanton noodles, it is a Cantonese ethnic food but of course we all eat them regardless of our backgrounds, there is also halal version. The soup at the side is for drinking before the meal to warm up the stomach, and after to wash down the meal too. You can also have the noodles in soup version too. We take alot of hot soups here as we believe it is good for digestions, and also it helps hydrate our body in this humidity. Hope to have you back here soon! Do try Bak Chor Mee, a very local Chinese noodle you can never find in any other Chinatowns on the world! And don't forget our local malay food!!
We loved our time in Singapore and the food was incredible, dont worry we already have plans to be back before we leave Asia!! We will have to try Bak Chor Mee when we come back!
Thanks for visiting Singapore. Hope u guys have more layover to enjoy alot of free places you can visit. Hope to see more vlogs from u guys. Cheers !!! And also enjoy your South East Asia trip.
Singapore 🇸🇬 is not your typical South East Asia city that you have visited i.e. Thailand🇹🇭, Philippines 🇵🇭, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Indonesia 🇮🇩, Vietnam 🇻🇳, Cambodia 🇰🇭, Myanmar 🇲🇲 or even Brunei 🇧🇳. A combination of Modern Architecture surrounded by old British 🇬🇧 colonial buildings with lush foliage on the skyscrapers. Very westernized and contemporary yet still preserve the old rustic looks of old village settings. The price of accommodation and food tends to be on the pricey side if you dine on a mostly touristy flank. Go to hawker centers for cheaper options in Singapore 🇸🇬. There is plenty of it here and to approximate is beyond comparison. Hope you relish the adventure of staying here in Singapore 🇸🇬.
Yes thank you for the advice 🙏 From our short time there, it seemed to us that Singapore is like nowhere else in the world. It is a beautiful city that surpasses most of the world's other large cities in terms of cleanliness, infrastructure and transportation and quality of life for its citizens.
Eating soon kuey was common during my mum's time. I seldom buy it myself. You dip it into sweet black sauce and optionally, chilli sauce to eat it. It is a very traditional Singapore food. Usually ate during breakfast or teabreaks.
You made good use of your time. You knew what you wanted to see within the time you had, and you made it to your destination. Good job with the navigating the train lines. If I were asked what one should do with an 8 hour Layover/stopover, and the travellers are new to Singapore - no experience with the heat, humidity, public transit, or our hawker centres - I would advise them to explore Jewel. This keeps them comfortable (no heat/humidity), and saves them the need to learn and navigate our public transport (not that it is that complicated). If they have heavy luggages, they can check their luggage to their next flight if possible, if not, there is a baggage check, but at a cost (about S$15 for up to 24 hrs, varying due to luggage size). They would then be free to explore Jewel, the Canopy Park (ticketed) with its various (ticketed) attractions - the Mirror Maze, the walking Net, the jumping Net, etc). Because it is a stopover, travellers may also be tired or in need of sleep. There are lounges you can use to refresh yourself (showers, beds) - prices will vary, and may depend on what benefits you have from cards or membership. One can use the 8 hours to rest and recover from the earlier flight. Or prep for the next flight. There are also food options, tho a local might say that the hawker-style food is not as authentic, or not as cheap. But good use of your limited time.
Thanks! We weren't sure if we were being too ambitious trying to squeeze everything in in such a small amount of time! But it worked out in the end and we were able to explore Jewel also!
@@austint5139 Jewel is open 24 hrs, but individual stores within would have their own operating hours. And the Rain Vortex (i.e. waterfall) only runs between 11 am and 10 pm. At 5 am, you will see a hole in the roof, looking like the Eye of Sauron.
You have to be careful - max altitude without permit is 200ft and here is the map of prohibited airspace flywhere.sg - I flew outside the park boundaries with zoom and used stock footage for the closer shots.
Great video. May I know what time did you arrive in Singapore? We have a 7 hour layover but we arrive at 5am and we’re not sure if there are sights to see during those hours
We arrived in around 11am in Singapore, most things will be closed until around 8am but the MRT opens at 5.30 and I believe the outdoor section of gardens by the bay is open 24hrs
It depends on where your passport is from a visa might be required, but the SG arrival card can be done in the airport on your phone and only takes about 5 minutes to complete
Mrt takes about an hour each way from the airport to downtown but we got lucky and didnt have any line at immigration or any other delays, it can be done with 7hours.

Looking at the decorations in Chinatown, you were probably here during Feb 2023 when we had the Lunar New Year celebrations
Close! I think they were still setting them up, this was filmed in the 2nd week of January. So just before LNY.

It was so good! We wish we had more time to check out the rest of the foods in the hawker!

Hi. Is Jewel open 24 hours? Sadly our ETA is 5am so maybe we will be out in half an hour.

The man looks very serious in the thumbnail. Like a pilot going on a mission
On a mission for hawker food 😋
@@rangeless_ I thought of the movie Stealth when I saw the thumbnail. It looks like a sequel
You're good at the food reviews in terms of ingredients and descriptions. Please cover more.
Will do! Any excuse to keep trying all the different delicious foods on offer!!
Did you get permit to fly your drone at Gardens by the Bay? How was it? I would love to fly mine when I get there. 😊
You have to be careful - max altitude without permit is 200ft and here is the map of prohibited airspace flywhere.sg
- I flew outside the park boundaries with zoom and used stock footage for the closer shots.
You should've gone to the merlion and the Bayfront that's the ultimate symbol for singapore
Don’t worry we returned to Singapore for Multiple days a few weeks ago and visited the Merlion!! 😊
Steamed turnip wrapped in rice wanton with sweet soya sauce.
They were so good!!!
Great video. May I know what time did you arrive in Singapore? We have a 7 hour layover but we arrive at 5am and we’re not sure if there are sights to see during those hours

Are there any requirements when you have a layover in Singapore like SG arrival cards and such?
It depends on where your passport is from a visa might be required, but the SG arrival card can be done in the airport on your phone and only takes about 5 minutes to complete
@@rangeless_ got it, thank you! this is a big help for me since i will be flying to australia next week. 😊
@@coopes8971 glad we could help!
What airlines you guys used from Singapore to USA ?
We flew singapore airlines and had a 2hr layover in Frankfurt then an 8hour layover in Singapore before continuing on to Hanoi
So we can really leave the airport during layover and visa is not required depending on your passport?
Yes depending on Passport there is no visa for up to 30 days visit.
helllooo, im wondering how much time did you spare for the transportation only, i only have 7hr20mn layover and im wondering with mrt total how long
Mrt takes about an hour each way from the airport to downtown but we got lucky and didnt have any line at immigration or any other delays, it can be done with 7hours.
Do they check vx status?
Not anymore, it hasnt been required since February 2023
Please, it would be good if she speaks slower and clearer so we can understand her.
There's an option to turn on auto generated subtitles...
I'm Singaporean, I can understand her perfectly.
U can slow down the video in settings
