As a westsider in Singapore, i can confirm Jurong Point is probably the best mall in Singapore, with all the varieties of shopping, food and even the layout of the place is good. Its very easy to get from one end of the mall to the other, the carpark is massive and NEVER full even on peak periods. The MRT is right beside and the bus interchange is inside the mall. Don Don Donki is opening there at the end of the year as well! This mall literally has everything, can be crowded at times but it sure isn't as bad as Jurong East's JEM.

If only I had Mike’s appetite and metabolism then things would be easier😂 Speaking of the west side there’s also Jurong east mrt station with its three malls.. (there’s also the visual exchange area near the station).. within the malls 2 don don donki outlets and their food courts, ikea and its foodcourt, and myriads of other food options I feel stressed everyday choosing what to eat hahaha

I think I'd gain about 20 pounds if ever I went to Singapore with how much good food there is to eat out that way. Japanese curry is a favorite thing of mine to eat as well, and CoCo Curry Ichiban was a good place to go--but next time I go? I will definitely seek out the curry places you liked in Jinbocho!

Hey Mikey ! I'm glad you are enjoying your food rounds within neighbourhood malls. The next ones you can try are Northpoint at Yishun or WaterwayPoint at Punggol. These are probably few of the biggest malls within the heartlanders. Anyway thanks also for being so understanding to the rules of the food court. That aunty shouldn't have scolded you so long though 😂. Some food courts only sells Halal certified food (for muslims who don't eat pork) so outside food is a no-no. The utensils used and seating areas are meant to be 'free' from presence of non-halal food. Another factor cld be different food courts are operated by different Tenants so they are competitors regardless. You eating another food court's food in the competitor's premise might not be accepted in the latter's POV. Have a splendid time exploring more malls before you return back to the US Mike !

I love your take on food in different country's!!!! I love you positive vibes for the food you eat.😍😁👍

You were in my neighbourhood... BTW, the small dish which they "give", quickly refused just before they put on the table, no matter how tempting it is. Some restaurants will ask if you want it before serving it. And you mentioned if they re-use, a very good reason not to accept it.

I prefer to support the mom&pop stalls, or hawker stalls... in the malls... It would have to be a pretty superior dish to get me to go to a chain shop (like crystal)... Really hate the shops which (deceptively) issue you items, dishes, napkins etc to charge you without asking... The pork belly bun is on my list... lol

Ohhhh I’m going to miss you visiting Singapore soooooo much. Love all these videos.

You'll definitely have to try some Peranakan cuisine while you're here. it's Straits Chinese food and very specific to SG/MY

I'm a Singaporean. When I heard you say you were going to bring the Jap food to the "food court upstairs", I thought "Oh oh, somebody please tell Mike" LOL Basically if you bring "outside" food and eat that in the food court, you're depriving the stall owners of income, not to mention depriving them of other possible income as you're seated at the table and other people who want to eat the food court's food can't (if it's a really crowded place). Nobody knows whether you'll be supporting the food court and buying their food eventually, so to make it fair to everybody, "outside" food is just not allowed. This applies Singapore-wide, not just at this particular mall. And yes blame it on the mall for not providing proper seating for food buyers.

You really should turn SG into your second homebase. From there you can easily explore plenty of original Southeast Asian food culture with a simple plane ride in the weekend. Malaysian, Thail, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Pinoy foods are some of the bests in the world and deserve more recognition.

Then again, maybe that his polite was saying it wasn't his favorite. I know he prefers to focus on positives and steer away from any negativity. I just wish he said something about it, after saying he went to that place because a fan who recongized him there, told him the Grilled squid was great.

Would like for you to try some Peranakan/Nonya food while you're here in Singapore! I recommend Makko Teck Neo or HarrisAnns Nonya table. Some iconic dishes are buah keluak, babi pongteh and kueh (bite-size sweets). Some popular Nonya kueh include ondeh ondeh which is a round pandan ball with gula melaka inside. Warning! Eat the ondeh ondeh whole otherwise the gula melaka will burst!

Mikey, I loved that Whistling song you played as you walked on to Japan Street! What was it? Oh and you can't fake how bad that last restaurant really was lol

Those "appetisers" on the tables in restaurants are not free LOL. We will usually inform the waiter who bring us to the tables that we do not want it. Yes for the wet tissues too we will return. Although some places charge them rather cheap at 20 cents each (rare though). You should have tried that Legendary Hong Kong Dim Sum restaurant. Huge menu and really has the Hong Kong char chan tang vibes. Very very nice and even Hong Kong people likes to patronise the place. The queue can get pretty long as well.

I watch you all the time using chop sticks so I tried to use them too. I've learned they work well for poking food but gee I can't do it 😂
