This is, by far, the best Eatbook episode ever! It's so relatable for all of us Singaporeans. Can your team also do a food challenge on budget meals in various polys and universities?

@@beezlebub9 the point of the video is to show that $4 can still give you many options, even a drink. giving points for free water defeats that purpose. they just gave it to her anyway since she's in last place.

To all the poly kids still studying, this is what adult life awaits you when you go out to work. Thinking of what to eat everyday is the gazillion dollar question that is on every working adults mind.

Can Eatbook please do a challenge for cheap & good hawker food that are healthy (fits HPB's Healthy Plate requirements)? That's a totally realistic everyday challenge, since we rely on hawker food for meals on workdays!

Thank you Sew for giving idea for the next 72 hour challenge: 72 Hour homecooked meal challenge 😂

Amanda is so much fun! I wish I had friends like her back in the day!

I love Chow. She usually eats at the stall so she keeps plastic waste down. Love her

theres a caifan store at blk 6 hougang ave 3, unit number 01-78, called Goldhill Family Restaurant! They serve 2 vege and 1 meat for only $2.50! They try their best to absorb the cost as there are many elderlies living near the vicinity and many migrant workers in the industrial factories nearby at defu lane!! You guys should give it a try, quite solid place to go! ps: choose the chicken wing, they give you the entire wing, not just a party wing!!

Always pay more if you can afford it, pass it on

Need to try an episode to work with healthy and cheap food. Not eat just to be full - the carbs and low nutrients food eg the bee hoon and mock meat, some poor veges no protein. If you guys can do it, I salute. Cuz the gov promo healthy eating right...Ps. Health promotion board recommend half plate veg, 1/4 complex carbs (eg whole grain), 1/4 protein. not jiak chor pah (吃粗饱）- simply just to fill the tummy. If can eat healthy according to what the gov promote, and cheap choices that they offer, that would be the best. How many of the food that they ate are healthy? Only the cai fan so far.... the rest are all jiak chor pah, 90% noodles with fish cake and 2 leaves~ It would soon be like the lower income in the west, becoming super obesed cuz the food that they could afford are junk processed food which is high in carbs and sodium, low in nutrients eg the fast food meals...

completely agree - protein should be much higher for a proper balanced diet - most people I've met have a very poor idea of how much protein should be consumed and how much they're getting from a meal. The way the government promotes healthy eating is not feasible - I've never seen an actual healthy option at the hawker centre.

Love the vibes in the video!!! Kudos all!! 🎉🎉❤

So glad to be Singaporean. There’re tons of affordable food accessible

sew, seems confident and happy on this ep 😊

I can relate to the soup BCM that Sew had, my grandparents always dabao that and its legendary.

eh... may i ask for the budget meal that they ate, how did they find the portion of it? because for me i encounter when i buy it right, the portions is like so little is quite less then the normal size meal ..so the budget meal they will sometimes give lesser than vs the normal priced. Not sure if the talents did encounter it.

Lery is so adorable!

OG 72 hour challenge let’s goooooooo

Omgggg Lery!!! Soo happy to see a Bidadarian 🎉🎉😊😊

7:06 this part killed me hahahahah Amanda is always so funny!

that is crazy that you can get all those things for under 4$, there is no way you could do that in new Zealand, love this ep.

I love this challenge relatable to us

Its actually quite depressing for some of the meals. Hmm. But i appreciate the budget meal option.

Loves Sew so much!!! Pls cast her more in eating challenges

Hello eatbook, I always feel intrigued by your amazing food recommendation videos. 😊 You guys are so creative. 👍

Can we explore nutrition value of these meals, the initial captured karaage don... stay healthy if eat regularly

I had $2.60 cai fan for one month straight and no complains at all. Same ingredients same stall.

Lery so cute and funny hahaha❤

Well in the US I got Panera Bread's (a sandwich fast food chain) Unlimited Sip's Club (for free, 2 months-free trial), which allows me to get any drink each hour haha

I love love hawker food! There are so many options for such an affordable price. I can't imagine a future where hawker centres are no longer available.

More episode like this hehe

9:55 in England water can cost up to £2.50 which is 4.18 Singapore Dollar🥲

Budget meal especially when you need to eat Halal food is hard. Especially, when the Malay stalls sells expensive food. The cheapest Halal meal you could prolly arnd $5-$6. And yet Chinese ppl complained everytime they have nothing to eat. When they have a wide variety to choose from

amanda pls share the lipgloss u’re wearing at 7:55!

How come Amanda didn’t use the website when she was at Orchard?

Lery and his kopiiii

In Orchard road..to get $4 meals.. can go into a 7-11 or Cheers, and get a sandwich or Tuna Mayo Onigiri.. or a MacDonald's, and get a Burger.. only..

every meal eat cai fan sure pass

Please bring Chow in more videos!

Try eating only cai fan for 72h👍🏻👍🏻

From what Charmaine ate at the 827, i presume that time she went, the whole coffeeshop was under renovation with new stalls coming in.. that was like first half of the year.. haha

I've said it before, i ll say it again. Lery a cutie.

Love the content. However in Singapore where the lower income consists of people from diverse races and religions it would be great to have a cast reflect a representative of that for this episode. Besides prata what other halal alternatives are there? It is good to highlight the lack of options for this group. Perhaps the government can include a halal option for at least 1 location.

Imho. Not going to travel just to buy the budget food. Would be over budget if I factor in the two way transport cost. Convenience still come 1st. 😊

I'd sneak over to JB for the 72 hours 😆

If only Malaysia had this system... Nowadays easily spend more than rm10 for 1 simple meal...

@sew you can still order like chicken thigh without bones. Usually when i order these kind, i will ask the stall owner to help debone and deskin directly, easier for them to do it than we do it ourselves

Sew ur not the only one, I also hate veggies and my school said the top 1 group in Chinese will get Bubble tea instead of top 3 and I am top 3 so now I want I mean need bubble teaaaaaa

Sew is the same as me we both only eat breast meat for chicken rice, we hate vegetables we spent a lot for meals

Went to one pf the coffee shop listed. The aglio olio items listed at sgd3 were not available when i asked for them. I gave up and ordered the sgd3 chai png set butbwas charged sgd3.50. Sus.

go r&b lol got bb tea for $2

unfortunately I cant find any budget meal near my house...Showing 0 result(s) near Airview Park (Within 2km) We can't seem to find any results that match your search or filter. Though I like to find gf like chow who like cai fan & bring own water bottle everywhere.

Can we have a halal budget food version? It will be harder to find

9:19 I see the cup i hear the price i already know thats the bloody HOLIM drinks KNN $2.30 for not even alot of liquid. everytime i order drinks i ask is it holim if yes then nah.

Great video! Now please try to find halal variety food that cost not more than $4.

Sew can be our sugar mommy

Itea bbt is under $4 😂

Gotta say the distorted voice filter is overused and painful to hear.

Imagine you can eat anything for $4 per meal Ok so i can eat 6 meals a day at $4 per meal? Lol Breakfast, Morning Tea, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, Supper..

they look like they haven't had square pizza

(Joking) Dear Editor, i am taking a Grab ride of $9 to goto the Kopitiam to eat my $4 budget meal.

Feel like this episode just shows how dystopian food prices are getting here, instead of showing that food is "affordable" or "budget friendly". Amanda eating 1 popiah for lunch or Lery eating 3 meatballs shouldn't be counted as a meal. How is that supposed to give anyone proper nutrition or even energy to continue the day? Also wildly out of context to compare with Switzerland to show that Singapore food is "affordable". Labour is "expensive"/people are paid better in European countries, people there generally earn a higher proportional salary which gives them purchasing power to buy a "$4" water. This whole episode just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
