Breakfast. Nasi lemak.
Also some wanton noodles from this place.
The guy looks like he can make some nice wanton noodles.
Breakfast of nasi lemak.
And wanton noodles.
I left my food here. And when I came back someone was telling me that the birds will trying to eat my food.
Bad birds. Nasi lemak is not for you.
Nothing like wanton noodles in the morning in Singapore.
Look how saucey it is.
Ah it is spicy and nice.
A little wanton soup.
That's perfect a little wonton soup.
It's very simple-looking Nasi Lemak.
There's so much coconut in that rice.
(music)
Almost perfect
I'm gonna miss this tomorrow.
My last day in Singapore
I'm leaving tonight for Korea and I really wanted to have a meet-up because I know a lot of people in Singapore watch the videos.
I really wanted to have something and just say hi and thank you to everybody
but the Singapore trip was really last-minute
and these couple days just been packed with meetings. So I try to squeeze like a last minute meet up today.
We'll see. We'll see if people come by It is so last-minute. It's crazy.
I scheduled there like an hour and a half before it's supposed to happen. But before I go over there
I need to eat here.
(music)
This is another food store that got a Michelin star here in Singapore
and supposedly their pork noodles are off the hook.
So I'm gonna try it out and let you guys know.
I heard the line typically if you come here during lunch
it's about an hour.
Here it is. It is called Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle
(music)
These are the infamous noodles.
I see some ground pork, fish balls, liver,
fried fish. Look at these noodles.
They are like there are wide noodles.
And obviously handmade.
So eating here, it's not easy.
When I got here, there was only about six people in front of me and I waited thirty minutes
and I was lucky because the guy behind me
they told him he had to take a number because they're about to take a lunch break
and he was not going to get served for another 30 minutes.
There's the wide noodles and then there's the thin noodles. These look like the same type of noodles.
Just different texture. And this is considered a large version.
This place is also quite expensive compared to like a regular hawker store.
The small is a 6. The small of anything is $6 and it goes to $8 and $10.
Which is quite expensive for you know, just a little bowl of noodles.
Mix.
(music)
Let's have a taste.
That's pretty good. There's a little wine taste to it.
The parts with the livers is little organ-y. I like that though.
The white noodles.
Mmm wow, I think this is some of the best things in this bowl.
It just so chewy and smooth and the sauce a little vinegary,
which I love.
All the noodles are cooked perfectly.
And I got an extra bowl of meatball soup.
Meatballs are actually.. woo, that soup is great.
Oh, that is good.
Oily. You see the bits of fatty here.
With the chilies. This might be better than the noodles
Think I'll take some noodles,
add it into the soup on top of the spoon.
That was really good
I really love this. I really love this soup.
Meatballs are nice and bouncy.
For a small bowl , they do give you a lot.
Mmm. The entire flavor profile of the noodles.
Really really good. I feel like you have to get some sort of soup when you're eating these dry noodles.
It just tastes better. It really does. It tastes better with this soup.
Maybe I should just got soup noodles. I don't know.
But out of that two different types of noodles, this wide ones here,
this is by far my favorite.
Serious thing. I ran out of money. I had like 20 Singapore dollars left.
I could only afford these two bowls.
If I had more money,
I would have got a bowl of like dry noodles, a bowl of soup noodles, all these.
I would have got one of everything because that's
what you do when you really want to test something out.
Is it worth 10 Singaporean dollars.
I would pay it.
Nice crispy pork skin. But I don't think I will come here on a really busy day.
Because you'll be in line for a long long long time.
Overall, I think I give these noodles 8, 8.5 out of 10. Noodles and soup together.
Couple of things before I leave the country.
One, get another lime juice which is probably my favorite drink here.
Victoria and An. Thanks for coming for the last last very last minute meet up.
Last meal in Singapore.
Chicken rice. Actually timed my money perfectly. I came in to Singapore with about $130.
I have about two dollars left and I spent it all on food. I feel like that's really good expense.
So basically, I used my money on all the right stuff.
So what I do. So I mixed this. Can I mix that too? Yeah, is this what you guys do?
So I will mix this. That's nice. And this is duck sauce?
Dark sauce, okay. So, it's really thick. Put on some rice
She's a food genius.
Girl: Yeah, just make it better.
That gives us such nice like it's slightly sweet, umami flavour.
So, wrapped up. The meetup is over. I'm gonna head to the airport. Thank you guys so much for coming
I can't believe you guys actually show up.
That was like ...
That was crazy. I'm sorry for doing this so last minute. But I am glad to meet you guys. Mel, came twice.
And she took a Uber over here.
(music)
This is the new Terminal 4 airport in Singapore. It is just beautiful, clean, elegant.
That's cute.
Alright, I try to check in and they told me that
there was an airshow, like we talked about there's an airshow in Singapore, and one of the planes skidded off the runway or something
So, now all flights from this airport is delayed.
Which is a problem because my connection is in Kuala Lumpur. My connection to Korea is in Kuala Lumpur.
So, I don't know.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
Alright, I talked to the AirAsia people.
They told me to come back one hour before my flight and they will help me. I don't feel so good about one hour.
Okay, so here's what ended up happening.
Apparently, Kuala Lumpur is the destination everybody wants to be in right now.
And all flights there are blocked for today.
and probably tomorrow. So, I managed to get a flight tonight to Bangkok and
the problem is the Bangkok flight is gonna get there and then the connection to Korea won't happen till 8 a.m.
So I gotta be at the airport for 8 hours. So I'm spending the night at Bangkok airport.
We'll see how that goes. I just want to say that was the most pleasant
security check-in experience I've ever had.
First of all, all these agents like they're nice. They're smiling
It's so strange. Like that doesn't happen in the US.
They're so courteous and nice and
they have all these new machines that like that that the trays just are automatic.
Everyone has a tray. Of course, you get to keep your shoes on, you get to keep your laptop in your bag.
It's just a pleasant experience
Something that doesn't happen much in the US when you travel.
It is like a little forest inside the airport.
(music)
This is the Blossom Lounge. I swear any airport lounge is better than the lounges in America.
Bread pudding or no more bread pudding.
Size of that prawn crackers.
Of course, made to order food. Roast chickens with pea soup.
(music)
It said it is a panna cotta. It is not, I don't know what it is.
There's granola.
It is some sort of creamy yogurt.
Laska looks good. Smells good too. Seriously, now in the US oh my god,
this would be replaced by chips.
That was actually pretty good.
Hey. For airport's laska. That's pretty good stuff.
(music)
Welcome to Bangkok. Wow, after the airport in Singapore, I think every other airport in the world just ...
it just doesn't compare. Anyways, I gotta find a place to spend the next eight hours and
This is the Miracle Lounge.
Pretty small lounge. Nice pastries though.
Actually looks like it got some good food.
(music)
Looks fresh. Oh chicken curry.
(music)
For a tiny little lounge, it got a lot of food. It's about 1 am. I'm so hungry right now.
That green curry is excellent.
I guess it is as excellent as airport curry can be. It's pretty good
I just realized I have access to this.
But this lounge I can only use for three hours. Let's see what's so cool.
Much more elegant, much cleaner.
The food looks ...
Looks better. I kind of regret eating at the other lounge so much.
So, I guess the only logical thing to do here is I think I got to eat again.
Cool. Little dishes.
Wow, it got cakes. Free yogurt.
And look at these.
Pea flower drink.
Light and dark chocolate.
And this stuff. Baked spinach and cheese and chicken ham
And some pasta
(music)
This curry is pretty good. Actually, I think I prefer the one at last lounge better.
That's awesome. It is just cool and refreshing.
Makes you feel like you're walking around a metal.
I need like 10 more of these.
Yeah, I got something to eat. It's time to go to bed. It's actually my first time spending the night at the airport.
Goodnight.
Good morning. I slept maybe a couple hours.
You know, I don't hate a lot of things in this world, but one thing I absolutely ...
just cannot stand, the mosquitoes.
Like these these little spawns of Satan.
I mean, I'm pretty covered up except for my hands.
Yeah, seven mosquito bite on one hand.
(music)
So, this is the equivalent of the AirAsia's business class and there you go. Seats over there.
Pillow. There we go.
A lot of red in here. The seats are like a lot narrower
than other business class seats.
I feel like it's just kinda like a like a coach seat. Except for you can lay flat.
Okay, I'm in bathroom and big difference here is there's really no amenities whatsoever
And there is no TV in it.
So, this airline you only get to choose one meal.
And you get either nasi, nasi lemak, chicken rice,
chicken lasagne, or kung pao chicken.
The flight attendant recommended Uncle Chen's chicken rice.
I like chicken rice
and my last name is Chen so let's get the chicken rice.
This is my chicken rice and this is what on the picture.
This is what I get so this is kinda like McDonald's menu.
Looks really different from the picture.
I really don't know what I was expecting but let's see how it tastes.
(music)
If I got this as an economy meal,
this actually be pretty good.
The chicken is not dry, it's tender.
Rice actually, it's pretty fragrant,
Seasoned well with chicken stock.
If I got this as any economy meal,
I'd be pretty happy with this
and I know with this airline. It's really just about the discount.
It's not about the food, it's really not about
anything except for saving money.
So with that in mind, it's an okay meal.
If you buy this on board is 200 THB, so close to $7 for plate of this.
My advice would be eat at the airport or bring a sandwich on board or something.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I didn't get much sleep last night by the mosquito so,
These seats actually goes all the way down completely flat
That's what I paid for. Goodnight.
