Hey guys, it's Mike chen. I'm here in singapore. Just having a blast eating my way through the city
Crossing item and item off my food bucket list which is to me the most fun. You can ever have and today
Maybe it's because of the heat, but I'm feeling a bit
barbecuing and then singapore when you think of barbecue, you think of satay
That's why I'm here today at the La Paz stop
Festival market because apparently if you want good saute this is where you need to be so let's go get some barbecue
Scores and really, just follow one simple rule. If it looks good. We're gonna eat it
I smell the barbecue and he's got a whole lot hotter out here
I don't know what it is
It may be the beautiful aroma of the charcoal the flames that meet on skewers the barbecues just excites me also barbecuing is really
Cross-Cultural, I mean in the middle east you've got the kebab in China
You've got the spicy cumin skewers in Southeast Asia you got this outside. It's like a global language
You know meat on a stick everybody understands that as soon as I got here
I saw the beautiful flame so charcoal the barbecue that needs sat down grab my menu started a ring
I mean, I feel like the barbecue gods are really against me today
All right, it is finally here. I've got like a mix of beef lamb and chicken and some of these gorgeous prawns
I'll tell you right now this smells magical
I mean literally if you go to sleeping beauty and weigh some of these skewers around her face
Yeah, she's gonna wake up
And she's gonna be hungry and this I feel like has a lot to do with them using wooden charcoal so all that beautiful
Charcoal flavor that smokiness. It's just everywhere here same thing with the prawns all right. Let's get started. Let's get enough talk
I'm not a big fan of chicken, but it's gonna start off with a piece of chicken and dip it in the Sauce I
Just want to shame
I'm singapore. You guys good to eat this all the time here
All right
Even though chicken to his good my chicken was sweet spicy savory little bits of the Char gives it a nice just
Slightly bitter Flavor which I think is essential in great barbecue. Let's go for a little surf the press do a little lonely
Let's give us some love whoa
Head just came off and we're definitely not done with this thing yet
And we're gonna let that take a little dive into the sauce that is beauty every bite to me right now. It's an adventure
I'm so excited
Let me just go out of the shower on ourselves got a nice nice sweet light flavor
So not only is your bite smoky and savory you also got that hand of sweetness all right. Let's get serious here
Let's go in for some deep and lamp. I'm so excited for the beef
That beam should be singing love me tender
that's all I got I said the lamb skewers have historically been my favorite because
Not only does it have lean meat. It has a good amount of fat, and this one looks pretty well-balanced
It's my favorite
Come here and get the lamb. You're gonna. Thank me your taste buds will thank you everybody gets thanked everybody's happy
I love little bites and move that nice hard a nice crunchy charge that most Asian parents probably warned their kids not to eat because
They're burnt, but I'm telling you right now. That's the best part and this is already my second water
I don't want this to end. I want an endless supply of skewers
It's just marching slowly to my mouth
And I love the fact that it's just a couple pieces of meat on every skewer because this way you really feel like you accomplished
A lot, you know all right whoo
Figure not only am I in good skewers eater
I'm a good steward floor all right all the skewers are that let's go. See what else's are good eats
I'm not sure what I got by walking past the stock and I saw the words thunder tea rice
I mean those are three words that I like so I wonder one
And it's white rice with what looks like some
Cabbage some greens and peanuts little dried fish green beans and then it came with this green tea Matcha
Looking soup, and it smells and smells really sesame
But hey, I'm saying this this this smells really familiar yep
I know what this is at least I know what the chinese equivalent of this is and if this is what I think it is
It's one of my favorite dishes in China, and I haven't had it in probably 20 years, so let's see
Yep
That's why I think it is. There's a Chinese dish called yo, chou which literally translates to oil tea
And you'll try it is made with pork fat. It has a lot of nuts in there. It's very aromatic
It's a lot thicker than what this is and it says that there's no pork in here. There's no larva here
I think that's really the only difference and this is way less
Flavorful than the yo, Cha, probably because I'm missing all that pork fat
I mean, I love it because it's bringing back all sorts of memories for me now. Let's get to this rice
I see people throwing in some chili, so I'm going into that, too
Let me just give this little mix almost like a bin bin Bob right now
I don't know what the flavor is coming from I mean let me see here
This was a lot more flavorful than I thought. I mean even the rice on his own was really aromatic
Well Chili's are hot it's really simple. It's really light, but it's also really delicious
Mmm. You know what after getting some of this right? I kind of feel the need for some soup I
Can see how this really goes well together if you soul does in New York
I may be a huge hit because this this is definitely really healthy
And it tastes absolutely delicious the rise like I said super
Lucky you got the different greens in here that provides a lot of crunch
You got the tofu for some protein and the little fish provides a saltiness like everything just goes really well together
I mean this kind of feels like health food, but it definitely doesn't taste like it also
I saw some people dumping this this little soy sauce thingy here
I'm gonna do a little bit because it really doesn't need it. I think it tasted really good on its already
I'm gonna try it with a little bit of Chili, I
Think the sauce just a little bit of soy sauce
Honestly, I don't even think you need it really most of the spice will come from these little red chili peppers
And I think it is that subtle flavor with all the different ingredients
Providing something and just working so well together that really makes this dish delicious
If I lived in Singapore and if I wanted to be healthy i'd come here and eat this every single day
That's a stingray look at that. Wow I was walking around but I was still hungry for some barbecue
So I got a barbecue stingray what's so awesome about the ray is that the meat is
Incredibly clean and it's so easy to eat because really no hidden bones here look at this look how beautiful this after his barbecue
I'm sure you guys still tender to meet us right here
I'm barely poking those with my chopstick and the meat is just breaking apart and it just comes right off
That's all meats and you don't have to worry about choking on a fish bowl or anything
oh there it is beautifully cooked barbecue sambal sting ray . I think they use sambal sauce in almost everything
That's just fantastic. I just love how char that's ray is some pieces are slightly low crispy on the outside
Like I said, that meat is just so incredibly clean. It's got no fish ernest to a whatsoever
It's tender beautifully smoking in with the sauce a little sweet a little spicy
Trust me guys you watch yourself some stingrays. They also have this little dipping sauce here
Let me see what that's all about
All right.
Wow, that's really sweet. Oh sweet spicy. Oh that's really spicy, and it's very citrusy that's actually pretty fantastic. Oh, you know
What's gonna be really awesome. I still got that really healthy rice
Let's take some stingray dip it in the sauce put it onto your rice get a nice big spoonful of rice
With that delicious ray meat. Bon appetit to me.
What a great poaching for that right and I think the rice is a perfect complement because the wing itself with the sambal Sauce is
A bit saucy mix it down with the rice there you go guys take a closer look this is what beauty looks, like right here
Together what a great barbecue day, and I am officially
Completely satisfied also can I just say out of all the hawker centers have been through this plays of my favorites everything is so clean
It's so well lit its breezy. It's eerie
He's got the big fans blowing right now is like 9 o'clock at night
And this place is still hoppin all right guys as my singapore food adventure wraps up for another day
Thank you all so much for watching and until we eat again. I'll see you later. Homemade Barley water sounds healthy
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever tasted, and I feel a bit out of control at the moment
I just see things and I want them just sort of crazy. This is pretty darn good
So I guess the lesson here has always listened to your food instincts
