In this video, I want to share 10 foods I've never heard of until I came to Singapore. Let's
get started! Number one is curry puff. I've never heard of curry puff until I came to Singapore.
Curry puffs are these small pies with fillings inside. Among the most popular type of filling is
curry chicken. The shell is deep-fried. The outside is really crunchy. The stuffings inside are
very soft and savory. It is absolutely delicious. Probably not the healthiest but it's so good!
Another food that I've never heard of until I came to Singapore is roti prata. Roti prata is
this Indian flatbread that comes in a variety of flavors from egg to onion to I've even seen milo
flavored pratas. Pratas are usually served with a side of curry; either chicken curry or fish curry.
Number three. Another food I've never heard of until i came to Singapore is bak kut teh. Bak kut teh is
pork bone soup. It is extremely flavorful. You can eat it with a side of rice or side dishes like
braised peanuts or preserved vegetables. Number four. Another food I've never heard of until I came
to Singapore is carrot cake. There are two versions of carrot cake in Singapore: black and white.
The difference or the main difference between the two is that the black carrot cake comes
with dark soy sauce or is made with dark soy sauce. In my opinion, both are equally delicious.
The main ingredients in both are radish and eggs. Carrot cakes are also known as chai tow kway in
Singapore. Number five. Another food I've never seen until I came to Singapore is chwee kueh. Chwee kueh is
this really soft steamed rice cake served with preserved radish on top. The radish is savory.
The rice cake on its own is bland, but the combination of the two makes it amazing. Number six is popiah. Popiah is this spring roll with fillings inside. The common fillings include turnip, bean
sprouts, carrots, crushed peanuts, and many others. Number seven is bak kwa or it's also known as rou gan.
It is this really popular meat. It is this pork jerky that's often eaten around the holidays
or I think throughout the year too. It's really really delicious. Very savory. I think a little bit sweet
as well. Sweet and savory. Number eight is duck rice. I've never heard of duck rice or I've never tried
duck rice until I came to Singapore. This dish is extremely savory. This is one of my husband's
favorites. You can usually buy a set at a hawker center or food court for three to four SGD, which
is fairly inexpensive. The duck is usually braised or roasted. It usually comes with some preserved
vegetables or an egg as well. Number nine is kaya toast. Kaya toast is a really popular breakfast
item in Singapore. It consists of two pieces of bread with coconut jam kaya inside. Kaya is a
coconut jam that is flavored with pandan leaves, so it's a coconut jam that is green colored. It is
really delicious. It's usually served with soft boiled eggs and some soy sauce. People usually
dip the bread into the soft boiled eggs and eat it that way. Number 10 is yong tau foo. I've never
heard of yong tau foo until I came to Singapore. Yong tau foo consists of tofu, fish paste, and ground meat.
It is usually eaten in the soup form and, depending on the place, you may be able to select what you want
for the soup or what you want to be put into the soup. Some of the most common items I've seen
are fish balls, vegetables ranging from cabbage to eggplants to bok choy as well as eggs and seaweed. You
usually have the option of getting a side of rice or noodles to go with the soup and you can usually
get some chili sauce or a sweet dark sauce to dip the items in the soup in. If you tried any of
these foods, let me know which one is your favorite. If you haven't tried any of these foods,
