You guys are amazing, first time in Singapore, already know dip the yummy crispy kaya toast with the eggs. It could be better if you add a little soya sauce and white pepper. I'm Singaporean, always happy to see UA-cam influencers explore Singapore. And yes, if taking public transportation (MRT /Bus)it good to have a EZlink card. Can get it top up at any MRT stations and bus interchange.Dont forget to try another local foodies too. Hope you guys have a great time in Singapore!

Kaya is a bread spread made from Coconut Milk, Pandan Leaves, Eggs and Sugar. 2 types of Kaya spread are available at Singapore grocery stores. The first and most commonly consumed type is Nyonya Kaya, which is dark green in colour. The second type is Hainanese Kaya, which is brown in colour and contains honey.
Thank you for sharing! We liked the Hainanese, but I'm sure the other one will taste just as amazing! We must go back and try! Already looking forward to it 👀

Singapore's Coffee (Kopi) Lingo can be tricky to catch for new tourists. Hope this list is helpful to you. Kopi/Teh - Black Coffee/Tea with Condensed Milk and hot dilution water Kopi O/Teh O - Black Coffee/Tea with Sugar and hot dilution water ('O' means black, no milk) Kopi C/Teh C - Black Coffee/Tea with Evaporated Milk, Sugar and hot dilution water ('C' was used to refer to Carnation Milk) Siew Dai (after saying Kopi, Kopi O, Kopi C) - Less sweet drink (less condensed milk/sugar) Gah Dai (after saying Kopi, Kopi O, Kopi C) - sweeter drink (more condensed milk/sugar) Kosong (after saying Kopi C or Kopi O) - no sugar added (kosong means empty in Malay) Poh (after saying Siew Dai, Gah Dai or Kosong) - more hot dilution water is added (thinner dilute drink) Gao (after saying Siew Dai, Gah Dai or Kosong) - less hot dilution water is added (thicker, concentrated drink) Ti Loh (after saying Siew Dai, Gah Dai or Kosong) - no hot dilution water is added (Kopi/Teh poured all the way from the coffeepot or teapot without additional diluting. Super concentrated full-on strength drink) Peng (after saying Poh, Gao or Ti Loh) - Drink is poured over ice cubes and served cold
After having first drinks we did our research too 😂 But in any form kopi/teh are super delicious for us being foreigners! Maybe a little bit too sweet with condensed milk haha
@@JayandKarolina> Kopi/Teh Siew Dai or Kopi/Teh C ~ that’s how I like my Kopi/Teh… But absolute fave is Teh Tarik from a Mamak shop coz the tea is different > they use tea dust (called teh sarbat) that very dark orangey in colour.
@@JayandKarolina Instead of condense milk ask for evaporated milk called "teh-c" (pronounced"teh-see"). There is an app that details all the full set of combo of options for sugar level, options...
Hi just saw your video. I am surprised no one stopped you from filming the immigration area. It is prohibited under the Infrastructure Protection Act 2017, Changi Airport and Seletar Airport are infrastructures protected under the Act. I wouldn't film any airport immigration area - it is considered protected area. That aside, your video is good. Tx for coming to Singapore. For the kaya, it is made with coconut milk and sugar and the green color came from pandan leaves. It is very tedious to make kaya as it can take hours to reduce to that texture. For the soft-boiled eggs, add soya sauce (half a teaspoon will do) and add pepper - and mix it all up. Dip your toast in there and it will bring it to another level.
Hey man! I'm a 1st generation Singaporean and it's always great to see travellers' vlogs about SG. By now I believe you and Karolina would have left SG and I hope it was a wonderful trip for the both of you! Come back in the near future yeah? *Typing this in the humidity of the SG weather in my room while I wish I am in some cold, gloomy English city haha!*
For the drinks you can actually have any requests. like without sugar or less sugar. less milk or without any. they have condensed milk and sweetened too, which you were drinking. The kaya is a mixture of coconut, pandan and sugar and eggs. The dark sauce is sweet that goes with the poached eggs, mixed. Dont put too much of it. usually a teaspoon is good enough with the pepper for spice.
You missed out the soya sauce. Kaya + butter + egg + soya sauce + pepper = heavenly. Add soya sauce and pepper to eggs and mix. Dip kaya toast into mixture. That is how we eat.
normally, we(singaporeans) would put pepper and dark soya sauce(which can be seen both are available on ur table) onto the eggs to go with the toast or just plain bread. perhaps u can try that on ur next visit =)
Soya sauce is put on the soft boiled egg together with white pepper. Tweak the amount according to ur taste likeness. Mix it up after adding and voila u have a slurpy egg mixture with savoury concoction of saltiness from soya sauce , pepperish from white pepper and last creamy from egg.
Loved your reaction to the kaya toast! Next time you visit Singapore and have the kaya toast you can pour some soy sauce and pepper, beat the eggs up and dip away! When you're done with the toast, just sip the remaining eggs to complete a hearty local breakfast :) Cheers!
Jayesh mate, I hope your UA-cam journey goes well. But a couple of tips: The on the ground realities of where you are secondary to UA-cam success. You are not tour guides. Be 'STARS'. The locations are just a backdrop to the story unfolding. Focus on Carolina. Smiling at you. Enjoying your profound wisdom, humour, insights, etc etc. Never show vision of her trailing behind you. It's not a good look unless it is to bring to light her trepidation in following you into a bold and exciting future. Carolina is not baggage! Highlight your careful and sensitive approach to her feelings and reactions. Shared discoveries are magic. You don't have to highlight your careful research and deep knowledge. Your discovery of new worlds is the magic. Oh, and Ya Kun Kaya Toast is sort of like the McDonalds of kaya toast. As an alternative, look down every little alleyway for undiscovered local gems. Finding such places, like Carolina's smile, lights up the UA-cam sky. M
Just a quick tip, if you have GPay, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay with visa/master, you pretty much can tap and go on all public transports. It's possible to survive in Singapore without cash. (Only downside is not all stalls are contactless ready, but most are).
Thank you for the tip! We do have Starling cards (with great exchange rates) so them are always helpful when we need to make an international transaction 😬
Welcome to Singaore, although you guys should have returned home by now. I hope you guys it has been a wonderful trip for your guys and I look forward to more videos from you on your visit to Singapore. Oh, one thing about the egg, we call it ‘soft-boiled eggs’ here and it’s really up to the individuals how he wants to eat them. For me, I would add dark soya source and a bit of pepper, and next, I would normally scoop out the yoke. Your Tea-O means tea without milk, ‘O’ is Hokkien, a Chinese dialect, meaning ‘black’, like coffee black, Kopi-O. 😃
We have really enjoyed our time in Singapore but currently staying in Malaysia! However, we still go for our favourite Kaya Toast sets breakfast quit e a lot and eat it how it should be eaten - exactly the way you described 🤭 Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you! We really loved our 7+ months in SE Asia since it completely changed our lifestyles and perspectives! As you know, we've been already planning our second visit as of Sep'24!!! So hope you'll enjoy exploring new countries with us too 🥳
As a Singaporean, im here to share some tips ;D : 1. If you wanna order soemthign from they menu like located at 18:10 and 18:32 , try to order like "can we have 2 Set A" as its denoted in the menu, it speeds up your order process 2. Pronounciation Time: Teh O = T-ayy Oh Kopi O = Koh-Pee Oh Kaya = Cah-Yah 3. Kopi = Coffee w Milk, Teh = Tea w milk, O = no milk, C = Evaporated Milk, Siew Dai = Less sugar, Gao = More Caffeine. So if you want a coffee no milk with less sugar and more caffeine, you'd say "Kopi O Gao Siew Dai" Hope this helps ;D
I love watching travel vlogs like these. Makes me more appreciative of my country. We don't think much of kaya toasts or jewel airport bc it's a norm for us. But pple be travelling far to Singapore to experience it.
love the vid! just thought i'd give a helpful tip for ordering tea and coffee in local stores such as yakun, or coffeeshops in Singapore in general: kopi - coffee with condensed milk kopi c - coffee with evaporated milk and sugar kopi o - coffee with no milk, but with sugar kopi o kosong - black coffee with nothing (kopi, kopi c, kopi o) gah dai - more sugar (kopi, kopi c, kopi o) siew dai - less sugar if you want the coffee or tea to be thicker, you can add "gao" to your order (e.g. kopi o gao, thicker coffee with sugar and no milk) changing kopi to teh is just the tea version for everything above. and if you want the iced version, you can just tell them you want it cold, but if you wanna sound more local you can say "bing" which means ice in chinese
One of my colleagues from work is also to Singapore for the first time and she is excited to go, but only for 4 days. I have been there a lot while staying in Malaysia. Normally I go by coach from Melaka, Malaysia to Singapore with the family for one weekend. Singapore is one of my home countries, because of family and I enjoy watching vloggers like yourself visiting Singapore.
Very detailed well explained video. You definitely have done your research well about where to go and what to eat in Singapore! And your annunciation of the local terms are on point! Well done.
Hey Jay. Seen your vlog for the first time. Welcome to Singapore!! Hope you and your girlfriend enjoyed your stay and vacation here! Tay-OH! 😅 cute.. thanks for showcasing our little island!
Brilliant first video on the new channel man! I love how excited Karolina is. Reminds me so much of the first time I ever visited Asia. I was so excited by everything.
Jay, didn't realise you had this channel.. watched all of your gig hustle uploads and really enjoyed, so looking forward to catching up with this series... I've been to Philippines many times and have stopped over at Singapore before. Lovely place, exceptionally clean, and very friendly people (as with all of Asian people) Didn't get chance to do much as it was only an 18 hour stopover, but we had some lovely food whilst there.. Enjoy your new ventures around the world. By the way, your girlfriend seems very nice too, so a wonderful couple, made for one another!!
The soy sauce is for the eggs. There are 2 types - light and dark, the former being less viscous and more salty while the latter is sweeter. Add a few drops in with pepper. Gives the eggs additional umami compared to salt imo.
The brown building at the left at @16:59 is dubbed the Gotham building. The actual name is Parkview Square. The deco and the bar there are of NY and European style outside and inside but not something I have seen when I was in the EU and NY. It looks more like Gotham City in the Batman movie, hence the nickname. Even my EU friend was amazed by that building.
Singapore is fabulous first stop for this travelling adventure 😊 enjoy this new chapter🎉 and you started off bravely going on low budget economy for 12 hours!
Thanks mate! I’m keeping Gig Hustle open so that I can make videos in the future on that channel but I just don’t know what’s going to happen but you never know!
Hi welcome to Singapore and enjoy your holiday ❤ you will love Singapore coz we are full of nice places, so much good food and cheap too. Take more great pics while you are in Singapore and stay safe whenever you are 🥰
At 6am, you can actually get traditional kaya toast with soft boiled eggs at most coffee shops or hawkers center. just look for the stalls that sells drinks.
On all of Singapore 🇸🇬 currency 💵, you will see the picture of Singapore 🇸🇬 first President Mr. Yusof Bin Ishak from 1965 to 1970. Deceased on 23rd November 1970. KAYA TOAST:- Kaya Toast is a classic Singaporean breakfast, especially when served alongside a cup of kopi and two soft-boiled eggs. An oldie but goldie. There is good reason for the sustained popularity of such a simple sandwich: the sweet, pandan flavours of kaya (coconut jam), salty pat of butter, and mouthfeel of white bread make quite an irresistible combination. Traditionally, kaya is served on thin, well-toasted slices of bread for a very crunchy, coffee dunk-able bite. However, there are many new renditions of Kaya Toast, usually swapping out the crispy toast for different breads: steamed, thick toast, french toast, crackers. You get the gist.
Not "all" Singapore currency, but "most". Don't forget the Bird Series, Orchid Series, and Ship Series that was circulated before Yusof bin Ishak and its portrait notes. All of them are still legal tender.
Hope you both have a wonderful time travelling around Asia. Its so nice to meet you girlfriend. Really enjoyed this first video, its so good that people speak English isn't it!? Your arrival, after 12 hours, woo, was very good, the young lady in the booth was lovely and the people at the cafe too and you really enjoyed that food lol! Oh and it was great to see you making new friends on the plane, hello to George if he reads this! Take care you two and I'll see you in the next one.
That’s so nice of you too! We’re both super excited about the journey so hope you’ll enjoy following us! 😬 We went on a direct plane from Berlin to a Singapore and arrived straight for breakfast time to SG 🇸🇬 Kaya Toast was exactly what we needed and the service was more than kind 🙏 Like all Singaporeans we’ve come across tbh!
thats a common sg breakfast the eggs go great with the dark soya sauce with pepper, add a few drips of soya sauce and pepper to taste... mix it all up, dip and enjoy. Kaya is a coconut based jam its very popular in singapore and malaysia. Weclome to sg
Welcome to Singapore! Try adding some soy sauce and pepper to the poached egg which we Singaporeans like to call either half boiled egg or soft boiled eggs and yes that dark coloured sauce is in fact soy sauce!
You should add pepper and a few drops of dark soy sauce into the eggs and mix it up a bit. Then try it by dunking the Kaya Butter Toasts in the egg mix.
Pinnacle at Duxton is a PUBLIC Housing estate smacked in the heart of town. Having lived in Hove for a few years, I’m quite sure most British will find our public housing is so different from public housing in UK.
Should put a little black sauce into the half boil eggs. Mix slightly and eat. Kaya is made from coconut cream, sugar & egg flavoured with pandan leaves.
Teh - tea with condensed milk Teh C - tea with evaporated milk and sugar. Teh O - black/red tea with sugar. Same goes to kopi = coffee. You can ask for lesser sugar or condensed milk. We call it "siu dai". Season the poached eggs, break it, stir it, and dip the toast in the eggs to eat them. Welcome to Singapore!
wow u have done alot of research on Singapore before u even came to Singapore im amazed that you know some of the places . hope you enjoyed my country!
Hi, pro tip for using Singaporean trains. Just like London in Zones 1 - 4, you can use contactless for the MRT systems here. Save that card money for some nice Singaporean food :)
Dear Jayesh. The person you saw on our dollar notes is the late Mr Yusof Ishak, our first President, our head of state, a very important and respected person for Singaporeans.
Excellent video Jayesh, well shot and very well presented. You should seriously look at doing this professionally on broadcast TV, so good luck with UA-cam. I've been to SIN a few times in the last year, arriving at T1 is not the best terminal at Changi but I see now that they have the immigration e-gates. That will help speed things along through that bottleneck. For travel in SIN I use the Tourist Pass (the red and white one), it lasts for up to 3 days unlimited travel and you can also top it up (only for a couple of days) after it expires, the cost of the card itself, and any remaining balance, can be refunded at Changi when you leave. What camera did you use for the video?
19:00 for the uninitiated... teh - the standard tea with condensed milk at regular coffeeshops. (Some places like Yakun/toast box addition of evaporated milk is standard.) teh-C - tea with condensed milk and evaporated milk (some places omit the condensed milk and add sugar instead) teh-O - tea without any milk with sugar. teh siew dai - literally means "tea less sweet" No sugar just add kosong behind. teh-C kosong - is tea with just evaporated milk teh-O kosong - is just plain tea without milk and sugar. anything you want ice add "peng" behind. the above list. Kopi(coffee) would be similiar. however there's some special variations like Ti-Loh (which roughly means all the way) it's pure kopi no dilution thick AF. You have been warned.
Hey.. Where have you guys been?? Haven't you guys read or heard anything on Singapore before the trip?? Singapore is developed first world one of expensive cities..
Welcome to Singapore. It's a good idea to try the Kaya toast at 7 in the morning. If you come in later during the day when the crowd starts to flood in, the personnel will have no patience to chit-chat to customers. I hope you were not put off by the customer service in Singapore, especially at hawker centres or food courts. Their customer service can be extremely awful.
You have missed it.... the egg, best method is to put a few drop of dark soya sauce, usually i put just 2 to 3. And be generous with ur pepper ( i like pepper) gentle mix of the egg with the sauce, dont break the yolk. Gulp the whole thing down. It feels suuuuper awesome and good.
Kaya make by pandan leave and a lots to of eggs and sugar put it in have to keep on stirring it until it melt down,There are also a kaya with brown color with brown sugar
Welcome to Singapore :) Should try putting the soya sauce and pepper into the egg and mix everything together, dip the toast in the next time you try, the combination will be delicious, try it! Hope you guys enjoy the kaya toast! Cheers!
@@JayandKarolina -> One day should visit a typical Singapore home like mine. Hopefully we can serve good home cooked food for you both and see how our lives goes around us at outside and our home. I have a UA-cam channels, DoriKin Starr (Personal channel) & AWSMstarr (my family channel).
Alas I should have watched your video earlier before you left Singapore. I would have urged to visit some hawker centres tourist wouldn’t have gone. They’re right in the heartland of locals. Pls visit us some day again.
We went to the old airport road hawker centre and filmed a video there! Is that not a touristy one? We will be coming back to Singapore for sure because we really like it there :)
Add a few drops of soya sauce onto the egg and a dash of pepper. Mix the eggs thoroughly and dip. Sweet, creamy, and savoury. ❤. Kopi C kosong (without sugar) perfect combo.

Jayesh mate,
I hope your UA-cam journey goes well. But a couple of tips:
The on the ground realities of where you are secondary to UA-cam success. You are not tour guides. Be 'STARS'. The locations are just a backdrop to the story unfolding.
Focus on Carolina. Smiling at you. Enjoying your profound wisdom, humour, insights, etc etc.

love the vid! just thought i'd give a helpful tip for ordering tea and coffee in local stores such as yakun, or coffeeshops in Singapore in general:
kopi - coffee with condensed milk
kopi c - coffee with evaporated milk and sugar
kopi o - coffee with no milk, but with sugar
kopi o kosong - black coffee with nothing
(kopi, kopi c, kopi o) gah dai - more sugar
(kopi, kopi c, kopi o) siew dai - less sugar
if you want the coffee or tea to be thicker, you can add "gao" to your order (e.g. kopi o gao, thicker coffee with sugar and no milk)
changing kopi to teh is just the tea version for everything above. and if you want the iced version, you can just tell them you want it cold, but if you wanna sound more local you can say "bing" which means ice in chinese
One of my colleagues from work is also to Singapore for the first time and she is excited to go, but only for 4 days. I have been there a lot while staying in Malaysia. Normally I go by coach from Melaka, Malaysia to Singapore with the family for one weekend. Singapore is one of my home countries, because of family and I enjoy watching vloggers like yourself visiting Singapore.
Very detailed well explained video. You definitely have done your research well about where to go and what to eat in Singapore! And your annunciation of the local terms are on point! Well done.
Thank you so much! Gad you enjoyed it!!!
Singapore is beautiful country 😍❤
@23:50 The eggs is supposed to go with pepper and dark soy sauce provided.
🤭 That's exactly what we've been doing since that time! It tastes is much better that way!
I'm a Singaporean and I am proud of it
what i like about westerners is how they all seem to be comfortable with just engaging in conversations with each other randomly.
Hey Jay. Seen your vlog for the first time. Welcome to Singapore!! Hope you and your girlfriend enjoyed your stay and vacation here! Tay-OH! 😅 cute.. thanks for showcasing our little island!
Thanks! We very much did! All pleasures ours 😌
Now I see why this chap was always buggering off to Poland every few weeks. Well played, lad. Well played.
😂😂😂
Brilliant first video on the new channel man! I love how excited Karolina is. Reminds me so much of the first time I ever visited Asia. I was so excited by everything.
Thanks mate! This is a brilliant analysis of Karolina because it’s exactly that haha
❤🎉😂
Jay, didn't realise you had this channel.. watched all of your gig hustle uploads and really enjoyed, so looking forward to catching up with this series...
I've been to Philippines many times and have stopped over at Singapore before. Lovely place, exceptionally clean, and very friendly people (as with all of Asian people)
Didn't get chance to do much as it was only an 18 hour stopover, but we had some lovely food whilst there..
Enjoy your new ventures around the world. By the way, your girlfriend seems very nice too, so a wonderful couple, made for one another!!
Thank you mate! How did you find the new channel? Through Gig Hustle?
The soy sauce is for the eggs. There are 2 types - light and dark, the former being less viscous and more salty while the latter is sweeter. Add a few drops in with pepper. Gives the eggs additional umami compared to salt imo.
It tastes so good that way! We prefer the salty one though 😌
The brown building at the left at @16:59 is dubbed the Gotham building. The actual name is Parkview Square. The deco and the bar there are of NY and European style outside and inside but not something I have seen when I was in the EU and NY. It looks more like Gotham City in the Batman movie, hence the nickname. Even my EU friend was amazed by that building.
👀
Singapore is fabulous first stop for this travelling adventure 😊 enjoy this new chapter🎉 and you started off bravely going on low budget economy for 12 hours!
Thank you very much! 🫰🏽
Superb video I'm already hooked 👍 will still miss the other videos but here's to the next adventure on UA-cam.
Thanks mate! I’m keeping Gig Hustle open so that I can make videos in the future on that channel but I just don’t know what’s going to happen but you never know!
Hi welcome to Singapore and enjoy your holiday ❤ you will love Singapore coz we are full of nice places, so much good food and cheap too. Take more great pics while you are in Singapore and stay safe whenever you are 🥰
At 6am, you can actually get traditional kaya toast with soft boiled eggs at most coffee shops or hawkers center. just look for the stalls that sells drinks.
That’s what we did the other day! But with the backpacks it was easier for us to find a nice place nearby where we were staying 🙌🏽
The Man on the notes is Singapores first president, Yusof Isyak
On all of Singapore 🇸🇬 currency 💵, you will see the picture of Singapore 🇸🇬 first President Mr. Yusof Bin Ishak from 1965 to 1970. Deceased on 23rd November 1970.
KAYA TOAST:-
Kaya Toast is a classic Singaporean breakfast, especially when served alongside a cup of kopi and two soft-boiled eggs. An oldie but goldie. There is good reason for the sustained popularity of such a simple sandwich: the sweet, pandan flavours of kaya (coconut jam), salty pat of butter, and mouthfeel of white bread make quite an irresistible combination. Traditionally, kaya is served on thin, well-toasted slices of bread for a very crunchy, coffee dunk-able bite. However, there are many new renditions of Kaya Toast, usually swapping out the crispy toast for different breads: steamed, thick toast, french toast, crackers. You get the gist.
Thanks for explaining the money aspect!
Oh, from the way you’ve just described the Kaya Toast it makes us missing it even more ❤️ So delicious!
Not "all" Singapore currency, but "most". Don't forget the Bird Series, Orchid Series, and Ship Series that was circulated before Yusof bin Ishak and its portrait notes. All of them are still legal tender.
Hope you both have a wonderful time travelling around Asia. Its so nice to meet you girlfriend. Really enjoyed this first video, its so good that people speak English isn't it!? Your arrival, after 12 hours, woo, was very good, the young lady in the booth was lovely and the people at the cafe too and you really enjoyed that food lol! Oh and it was great to see you making new friends on the plane, hello to George if he reads this! Take care you two and I'll see you in the next one.
That’s so nice of you too! We’re both super excited about the journey so hope you’ll enjoy following us! 😬
We went on a direct plane from Berlin to a Singapore and arrived straight for breakfast time to SG 🇸🇬 Kaya Toast was exactly what we needed and the service was more than kind 🙏 Like all Singaporeans we’ve come across tbh!
thats a common sg breakfast the eggs go great with the dark soya sauce with pepper, add a few drips of soya sauce and pepper to taste... mix it all up, dip and enjoy. Kaya is a coconut based jam its very popular in singapore and malaysia. Weclome to sg
Welcome To Singapore 🤗 Hope you both enjoyed your stay and moving around enjoying all the good yummy foodies. See ya around!👍😆
Thank you! Will really did!!!
Really interesting to see a different side of you, love it!
Glad you enjoyed! More to come!
Welcome to Singapore! Try adding some soy sauce and pepper to the poached egg which we Singaporeans like to call either half boiled egg or soft boiled eggs and yes that dark coloured sauce is in fact soy sauce!
You should add pepper and a few drops of dark soy sauce into the eggs and mix it up a bit.
Then try it by dunking the Kaya Butter Toasts in the egg mix.
We have actually done that after filming (only knew about this way because of watching what the locals do tbh hehe). Thanks, mate!
great content! good luck with your new channel!
Thank you so much!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Pinnacle at Duxton is a PUBLIC Housing estate smacked in the heart of town. Having lived in Hove for a few years, I’m quite sure most British will find our public housing is so different from public housing in UK.
It is indeed!
Should put a little black sauce into the half boil eggs. Mix slightly and eat.
Kaya is made from coconut cream, sugar & egg flavoured with pandan leaves.
Love your curiosity and the way you enjoy the kaya toast. Welcome back soon
🙏🏽❤️
The chap on the Singapore Dollar note is known as Yusof Ishak, the first President of Singapore ☺️ 12:27
Teh - tea with condensed milk
Teh C - tea with evaporated milk and sugar.
Teh O - black/red tea with sugar.
Same goes to kopi = coffee.
You can ask for lesser sugar or condensed milk. We call it "siu dai".
Season the poached eggs, break it, stir it, and dip the toast in the eggs to eat them.
Welcome to Singapore!
Missing our SG Kaya Toasts sooo much 🥺
Welcome to our beautiful country guys 🇸🇬😍 Enjoy your stay and have fun! 💖🍺Cheers
wow u have done alot of research on Singapore before u even came to Singapore im amazed that you know some of the places . hope you enjoyed my country!
We had done indeed! We loved our stay in SG so hopefully we will be back soon! 😍
Hello Jay! Happy seeing you start this new adventure! Good luck to both of you. But i would miss your GigHustle videos 😊
Hey Mathan! Thank you so much bro! I’m keeping Gig Hustle open because I can always make videos when I’m in the UK and maybe some here in Asia 😎
@@JayandKarolina that would be awesome Jay. Have a safe and fun trip in Asia
Really looking forward to your adventures!! Enjoy 😊
Me too haha :)
Hi, pro tip for using Singaporean trains. Just like London in Zones 1 - 4, you can use contactless for the MRT systems here. Save that card money for some nice Singaporean food :)
Amazing! Thanks!
The chap on the dollar note is Mr Yusof Ishak, he was our first president.
Now you know the true power of the Changi Airport :)
Yes we do hehe 😎
4:08 Christopher Nolan in the back after filming Oppenheimer
Welcome to Singapore. Thank you for your sharing and contribution.
Ah sweet! You got a vlogging channel!
Yes let’s go 😎
I am an American but have lived here for 17 years. I really enjoyed seeing YOU enjoy arriving here!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Welcome to Singapore. Hope you had a great holiday here. ❤ thanks for the video
Welcome to Singapore! Hope you enjoyed yourself 🎉
Dear Jayesh. The person you saw on our dollar notes is the late Mr Yusof Ishak, our first President, our head of state, a very important and respected person for Singaporeans.
Best of luck on the journey Jay!
Cheers bro!
12:28 I’m surprised no one has mentioned who this chap is😂 His name is Yusof Ishak, the first president of Singapore :)
Hi , for the poached eggs (aka half boiled eggs), we eat them direct with dash of pepper and dark soya sauce (the ones you collected from the counter)
Hi Jay, congratulations on the video you made 😄
Hi Karolina, you're nice as always 😘
It was our first video ever so glad you enjoyed watching it!
Excellent video Jayesh, well shot and very well presented. You should seriously look at doing this professionally on broadcast TV, so good luck with UA-cam. I've been to SIN a few times in the last year, arriving at T1 is not the best terminal at Changi but I see now that they have the immigration e-gates. That will help speed things along through that bottleneck. For travel in SIN I use the Tourist Pass (the red and white one), it lasts for up to 3 days unlimited travel and you can also top it up (only for a couple of days) after it expires, the cost of the card itself, and any remaining balance, can be refunded at Changi when you leave. What camera did you use for the video?
19:00 for the uninitiated...
teh - the standard tea with condensed milk at regular coffeeshops. (Some places like Yakun/toast box addition of evaporated milk is standard.)
teh-C - tea with condensed milk and evaporated milk (some places omit the condensed milk and add sugar instead)
teh-O - tea without any milk with sugar.
teh siew dai - literally means "tea less sweet"
No sugar just add kosong behind.
teh-C kosong - is tea with just evaporated milk
teh-O kosong - is just plain tea without milk and sugar.
anything you want ice add "peng" behind. the above list.
Kopi(coffee) would be similiar. however there's some special variations like Ti-Loh (which roughly means all the way) it's pure kopi no dilution thick AF. You have been warned.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!!!
Grande Jeyson!!!!
You break the eggs, add dark/light soy sauce into them, add some white pepper if u want.. stir them.. then dip the toast with jam into eggs..
This month is so hot n humid feels like 35c. Should visit during december-jan its around 24c
Indeed! It's not ideal but we have a lot of plans so it was hard to be in the calendar winter in each of the places 😂
Love the vids love from Ireland
Saying hi from SG 😜👋🏽
Hey..
Where have you guys been?? Haven't you guys read or heard anything on Singapore before the trip?? Singapore is developed first world one of expensive cities..
We did but it is 100% more stunning in person!
You forgotten about the pepper n black soya sauce to be put into the eggs before eating
You definitely need a local guide to bring you guys around next time!
Are you volunteering? We will take you up on it for the next time we're in Singapore! haha
@@JayandKarolina let’s do it!
The "chap" on the $50 note is Singapore's first president, Yusoff Ishak.
Welcome to Singapore. It's a good idea to try the Kaya toast at 7 in the morning. If you come in later during the day when the crowd starts to flood in, the personnel will have no patience to chit-chat to customers. I hope you were not put off by the customer service in Singapore, especially at hawker centres or food courts. Their customer service can be extremely awful.
Oh we can’t wait to eat Kaya Toast again 😋 Little hint: we will be back in SG soon!!! Will try to go early!
kaya is basically coconut 🥥 paste. oh ya , like the others had said , mix the eggs up.
Our fave ❤️
Dark sauce and pepper should be mixed evenly a little to those eggs ...stir them evenly and you will taste the real egg meal
You have missed it.... the egg, best method is to put a few drop of dark soya sauce, usually i put just 2 to 3. And be generous with ur pepper ( i like pepper) gentle mix of the egg with the sauce, dont break the yolk. Gulp the whole thing down. It feels suuuuper awesome and good.
Thanks for sharing!
That's our 1st Malay President on our currency, Mr Yusof Ishak. 🇸🇬
Kaya make by pandan leave and a lots to of eggs and sugar put it in have to keep on stirring it until it melt down,There are also a kaya with brown color with brown sugar
Omnomnomn... We had the brown version, right? And as far as we know, there's a green one as well? 🤭
Welcome to Singapore :)
Should try putting the soya sauce and pepper into the egg and mix everything together, dip the toast in the next time you try, the combination will be delicious, try it!
Hope you guys enjoy the kaya toast! Cheers!
Like abt 1 tsp of soya sauce
Kaya is coconut jam.soft boiled eggs are to be eaten with a swirl of soya sauce plus pepper then dunk in bread to sop it all up yum
So good!
I love vloggers make videos about coming to Singapore!
We can’t wait to be back 😍 Hopefully soon!
@@JayandKarolina -> One day should visit a typical Singapore home like mine. Hopefully we can serve good home cooked food for you both and see how our lives goes around us at outside and our home.
I have a UA-cam channels, DoriKin Starr (Personal channel) & AWSMstarr (my family channel).
It taste more delicious when you mix the soya sauce and the white pepper with the eggs. You can eat it like that or with the toast. Da bomb!
kaya is mix with egg,coconut
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬 Hope that you will enjoy your stay here and have fun! ❤
Alas I should have watched your video earlier before you left Singapore. I would have urged to visit some hawker centres tourist wouldn’t have gone. They’re right in the heartland of locals. Pls visit us some day again.
We went to the old airport road hawker centre and filmed a video there! Is that not a touristy one? We will be coming back to Singapore for sure because we really like it there :)
Add a few drops of soya sauce onto the egg and a dash of pepper. Mix the eggs thoroughly and dip. Sweet, creamy, and savoury. ❤. Kopi C kosong (without sugar) perfect combo.
Oh yeaaah!!!
Nah, you can buy the local SIM card at 7-eleven convenience stores … for $12 , $14 or $15 sing dollars .. depending on which service providers.
We needed to buy the best one from the airport providers though 😬
for the eggs, you have to put the soya sauce and pepper and eat it. better and more tasty
Im a singaporean and i know that arab street is hot every time. liked ur vids🙂
Thanks for watching! We hope to be back in Singapore soon! 😍
You need to mix the runny eggs with white pepper and dark soy sauce and sip it.
Pinnacle @ Duxton is a public housing (government built residential apartments). It is a public housing project.
This host comes across as ex-Singaporean who has emigrated elsewhere and is returning as a tourist in Singapore for the first time.
Put some white pepper and the dark soya sauce into the eggs and give it a stir.
