SINGAPORE
Good morning from Singapore if you weren’t able to tell already looking at this stunning background!
I know.
Okay, to be honest, we are totally backlit but I don’t even care because you need to see this view.
I can’t believe we’re in Singapore.
I kind of have to keep pinching myself.
Me too.
There's so much to see in Singapore. -So much!
It’s morning, it’s already hot.
I look like a frosted donut…I don’t care.
I want to see Singapore so let’s head out.
I think the first order of business here in Singapore is to take care of our bellies.
I don’t know about you but I am very hungry.
Very important order of business.
So we’ve come to the Maxwell Food Centre.
This is a hawker centre.
You find hawker centres around Singapore
and they are made up of individual street food vendors or food vendors.
They used to be out on the street as food carts
and then they’ve accumulated them into these hawker centres and that’s where you go to find them now.
Some of them are extremely well known
and they’re known for having absolutely fantastic food.
And the difference if you’re wondering, between a food court and a hawker centre at least in Singapore,
is that the food courts are air conditioned and the hawker centres are not.
And the hawker centres tend to have better food.
That’s my understanding so we have to take care of our stomachs first things first.
So we’re going to get something to eat.
We’re at this place called Tian Tian — they’re really well known for their chicken rice
so of course we’ve got to try it.
Could I please get a small plate of chicken rice?
The white colour one?
The white colour? -The white colour, yes please.
Thank you so much.
That was really fast.
One sugarcane, one coconut.
Please.
Oh, fresh.
There we go.
Okay?
Straw.
Thank you.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
We’re getting started with some of our breakfast dishes here.
And there’s so many places to choose from
even though, because it’s so early, a lot of the stalls aren’t even open yet.
This place really gets bumping around lunchtime.
So if you came back, there would be way more stalls open, way more people.
So it’s a little bit quiet now, which is kind of nice to start the day off.
And, we’ve got chicken rice.
This is the best chicken rice here I am told, which is why we had to try it.
We also got something called bak kut teh, which is a pork soup known for being really healthy.
It is served with a gleaming bowl of white rice.
Some chillis on the side for those that like to spice it up.
And this is fish ball soup.
Very popular to have not only for breakfast but just all the time.
All of these are dishes that you can have anytime.
We also got sugarcane juice.
It’s really neat to see them making it
and this is really popular here.
Helpful for keeping up your stamina with the heat.
And then look at this.
Fresh coconut juice.
Okay I’m going to start with the chicken rice.
Let me get a little bit of everything here.
That’s delicious.
Food always tastes better when you’re hungry, right?
It does.
So simple but so good.
Okay next I’m going to try the bak kut teh.
Oh wow.
That is super flavourful.
Let me get a little bit of the pork now.
Super tender.
It’s delicious.
It looks delicious.
Yum.
Some lingering chilli tingle on the lips so it’s time to bring in my friend sugarcane juice.
Oh my god that’s good.
It looks so yummy.
So the fish ball soup is up next.
Again, it’s delicious.
Being able to try so many different things at one time
I think is one of the best parts of coming to a hawker centre like this
because there’s so many different options in one place.
I can try them all at once.
It’s fresh coconut juice out of a freshly chopped coconut.
In Singapore.
For breakfast.
It’s a good day.
It’s already a good day.
