This would be good in hospitals for night shift staff who can't just cruise out to the coffee shop or convenience store. Sure there is takeout, that costs an arm and a leg. I long ago learned to plan and prep ahead.

My kid loves these, don''t do YT though so I just have to let you know here, they are visually appealing. The flavor of the one he chose though I didn't like in cotton candy. Watermelon/ vanilla. Each color has it's own flavor. I believe it's the blue one that is watermelon, so I now stick with giving my girl the pink heart which are berry flavored :D

Gotta respect that he’s honest about the food. Too many reviewers say everything is “amazing”.

Usually places like Singapore, Japan, South Korea, etc. have really rigorous food safety standards, so I wonder if there's some regulation for vending machine foods in Singapore where they had to heat those first meals within an inch of their lives.

@donwald3436

That was my thought too but I wondered if it's because it sits in the machine for so long lol.

I think you should give the Chef in a Box another go again and do the frozen and take them back to wherever your staying and see if it cooks better there!!! And OMG I WAS SO MAD YOU COULDN'T GET THE COTTON CANDY IT LOOKED SO GOOD AND CUTE!!! And all the vending machines looked great and cool!!! And omg that restaurant sounds amazing and such an amazing deal for the foods!!!

As a Singaporean, never spend money on Chef in a box, instead take that money and visit a hawker , cheaper and fresher meals with that $5-$7. If you end work late, microwave foods at 7-11 is cheaper and better 😂

@taiwandxt6493

Жыл бұрын

I would assume there are circumstances where Chef in a box is a necessity for many. So there is still a place for it, like if you don't have that long of a break for work and need something quick and easy and you don't have enough time to go to a Hawker center or 7-11. Like if you work in those malls and need a quick lunch, Chef in a box is a good thing to have.

I love how down time earth and honest Mikes reviews are, his reviews are my favorite out of the big four (Mike, Food ranger, Sonny and Mark Weins) out of all of them I feel like he’s the most normal person, like if he sees one little strand of hair in his food he’d just pick it out and keep eating, you know what I mean? Lol

I give you credit for managing to make it through several bad dishes to get to one or two worth eating. I don't think I could do that! That last restaurant is a pretty awesome idea, and sadly, I don't think it would fly here in the US for a couple of reasons.

Welcome back to Singapore, Mike! Love your videos showcasing our local stuff here!

Better title for this episode: dry inedible meat in vending machines

Mike is the best when it comes to food. Just love watching his Singapore Food videos. I am so hungry now.

Mikey, the Eureka popcorns are way cheaper at Malaysia across the border. Im a Singaporean and love those popcorn too 😅

that hot milk reminds me of that office episode where pam asks michael if there’s coffee in his thermos and he says “milk and sugar” and she drinks it and it’s actually just milk and sugar lol

Omg I missed SG a lot.. Im Malaysian that used to work in SG.. And the orange juice vending machine is my favorite.. I used to buy everyday after work.. I missed it so much.

Yeah, those Eureka popcorns are straight up black magic, all those flavors and almost none of them miss! Crazily addictive

Hi mike, here in Brazil we drink sugar cane juice with lemon too, there are other options such as ginger, pineapple, passion fruit, i think you would love to taste it hahaha, keep up the nice job my friend

Love vending machine reviews please do more!

Always enjoy Mikes food adventures 🤗

Late night vlog with Mikey yay 😀

Hey mike, could you go off the beaten track and go to various food industrial parks around singapore where wholesale and food processing are done before delivery to hawkers. You can get first hand foods there . Try out!

Awesome looking food! That pop corn looked amazing! There are times when I could have done with the vending machine meals for sure! the dinner meal looked incredible! Great video!

Good to see you back with the content Mike 💚 , Keep up the greattt worklkk 👍🔥🔥

Love the popcorns! As a Singaporean, i’m proud of it. Can’t stop eating them. The vending machine foods are not that great tbh. Hope you enjoy your stay!

I love these videos! Convenience stores and vending machines!

2 vids in 1 day? Must be almost Christmas!

I just hope to one day be able to try half of the foods on Mike's channel. I'm from Louisiana so I have no fear. But I also am from Louisiana so I have no money to travel lol

Loving your Hot Oil set of 3. Was worried that it was going to be a little too spicey but it's perfection. The black bean sauce really comes in clutch when trying to cobble together something simple for dinner.

Great review as always! I really enjoy the kids playing in the background. It's sounds like a family oriented place that very enjoyable
