This Part Of SINGAPORE Is NEVER Shown

This part of Singapore is never shown on travel vlog. In this Singapore vlog I am in the Geylang Serai area and I try some different street foods from local hawker centers. I explore this area of Singapore to show how locals live and the local culture and foods. This part of Singapore known as Geylang Serai is never shown and is definitely one of the things to do in Singapore.

Hi Myer! You went to the wrong part of Geylang for halal food! 😂 You should have gone to Geylang Road instead. Currently the Geylang Serai Market and Hawker is closed for renovations, but you should have went to the Haig Road Food Centre. Tons and loads of halal options! Unfortunately, you have left Singapore ahahaha. Come back again next time please! ✌🏻

If you are looking for certified halal food in SG, look for the green text halal logo sign usually published outside the store/restaurants. The certificate is issued by the the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore. Or the logo that says, Muslim Owned, also issued by the council specifically for stalls owned by local muslims

Same same but different. :) As mentioned, there are 2 Geylangs in Singapore; one where you are, which is more commonly known as Kallang or Kallang Bahru. The other is Geylang Serai, close to Joo Chiat/Katong and where you stayed on your first day here. During Ramadan, Geylang SERAI comes to life at night with a huge night market.

There are pockets of halal stalls in hawker centres, but a lot of them close on Fridays for prayer. Look for stalls with the green halal logo.

Lol you met some angsty hawker, and yes they do exist, and they probably mistook you as a fellow local who is throwing questions that makes them somehow feel as though u are messing around since locals usually just order what they already had in mind and rarely start conversation.

[eszeezee]

You look like a local Indian. Perhaps that's why that dessert stall owner got angsty when you don't make your dessert choice which seems so obvious to him. I am so sorry you're treated that way. Most hawkers are kind and friendly. Thank you for showing areas usually not visited by other vloggers.

Enjoying the Singapore content! Love your style of videos! Hope you can visit more places in Singapore like Haw Par Villa, Clarke Quay and New Bahru.

The Geylang Serai food market is the one with more halal food. But it is closed for upgrading.

[slynraya]

This vlog is very fun! Thank you so much

[nebulascorpious]

Wish I am there!. You are amazing in trying your mandarin 👍👍 with the locals there. Thanks Myer for sharing your wonderful journey with us.

Your fans mention geylang serai market is closed for renovation, you can try the nearby haig road market .

Thank you for coming to Singapore. Started to watch your vlogs yesterday and finished all of your Singapore edition.. I guess you don't have a very foreign accent so people will look at you like a local Indian and may give you the Singapore local 'flavour'😂. Btw, you are at Geylang Bahru, not Geylang Serai area. Your first day alighting at Eunos Mrt Station was actually just walking distance of 5mins to Geylang Serai. Nonetheless, great to see you going around and enjoying yourself! Hope to see you come and explore again soon! Peace out!

You remind me so much of my husband and how friendly he is when he first came to Singapore. Singaporeans are not always used to that. But I have learned to appreciate the friendliest exhibited by tourists now

[sulastrimhasshim]

Love your vlogs! Ohh the Geylang that has rows of halal food is actually Geylang Serai.

[Catzfamily]

Maybe you were mistaken. Geylang Serai Market & Hawker Centre (not Geylang Bahru) has many Malay Muslim stalls.

[beanoyip]

That encounter is due to cultural differences, not everyone wants a small talk like in most western countries.

[ZurMAanakmak]

Adam Rd food centre is a great place to find halal food, including Michelin-recommended Mee Soto, Mutton Soup . So near to Botanic Garden (listed on UNESCO’s world heritage)

To be fair to the dessert uncle, if i were him, a non chinese guy comes and asks me to recommend 'anything that is special', 'anything i never try before', i also dont know what to recommend. How would i know which one you never try before? For eg, for someone who never been to SEA, chendol or ice kacang would be something nice, but from Myer conversation with the young indian guy later, he knows what is chendol. Even for local india, maybe not all would have tried our chinese dessert like ginko beancurb skin for eg.
In fact when i heard Myer asks for something special, i am like 'oh no, if uncle recommends him durian chendol, which would be very exotic for tourist, but Myer may starts to comment that Singapore is so expensive, one dessert cost so much bah bah, and local netizen may comment that the uncle is extorting tourist for recommending something so expensive etc etc.
So in my conclusion the questions asked by Meyer is not easy to answer correctly. So thats why uncle may choose not to answer
But i do admit uncle attitude could be more patient.

[nerubiru]

please do not step into stalls without their invitation, PLEASE.. it can be really rude. Also please be aware of any customers that are waiting behind you to take their orders :) Respect boundaries, and you'll enjoy Singapore that much more :)

As a Singaporean, I appreciate your good reviews about my country. 😊

The thing about neighbourhood hawker centres vs those frequented by tourists, the hawkers there sell based on their food rather than service. We locals are likely to close one eye if the food is good and priced reasonably. Anyway there's nobody to enforce quality service and even oversee their prices for these towkays. *To add, some are not familiar with tourists and more likely he thinks you are playing punk with him for not knowing what to order.
