Spent Christmas in #Singapore and had to try the holiday buffet at the JW Marriot and then it's off for a day at home via Eva airline where I booked my meals ahead of time and it was the best I've had on that airline.
Good morning. It's the day after Christmas. Hopefully you guys had a great one and it's my last full day here in Singapore
This is always like the sad time. It'll be really it'll start really hitting me tomorrow morning. I'm getting ready for the airport, but
Last full day with fish. Oh, that one's dying. I don't want to show you guys. It's kind of sad alright tonight
I have one last great meal prepared going to a buffet tonight 7 a.m. Right now. I'm going for a prawn noodles
There's a place right by the hotel. This feels so nice by the way like this feels so good
It's borderline chili for Singapore. No humidity
Seriously feels so good
Anyway, I'm gonna grab some prawn noodles and then
Go do some work at a cafe somewhere and then meeting a friend for dinner. She's really cool. She's like super talented. You'll see
Fresh sweet prawns perfect on its own with that bouncy chew and that sweet natural flavor. Pig's tail
Hmm a little meat tons of collagen keep forgetting the Singapore you gotta fight the tissues
Oh, I always remember when it's too late
And I need one
Now there's a tender wrap little crunchy bones. You can just crunch through. Noodles got good texture nice and bouncy. Pork, prawns, noodles
It's all in this bowl
This is why I thought about moving here like
You can get stuff like this
7 o'clock in the morning. I take this over a breakfast sandwich any day of the week
Only problem with this thing is
After you eat this your body temperature is gonna skyrocket
Luckily, it's still kind of chill right now about 7 30 in the morning, but you try to eat this any other time during the day
It's gonna get super super messy and moist. Alright, let's go to a cafe and do some work
Last day here. Check it out, found this new drink heaven and earth
lychee and rose white tea
Lychee and rose two things I love one thing. I like to eat the other I like to smell
Pretty good. Actually this stuff started tasting weird after about the fifth sip
I don't know why first couple is really good, but now it's kind of
All right dinner time means it's buffet time also today, I I don't know if I look directly into the eclipse or not
I hope not
If I can still see in like 36 hours, I guess I don't know. I was trying to film it with my my phone screen
I
Don't know if I accidentally caught it. Hope not. I've always had perfect vision. I don't want to be messing with that
This is the buffet Beach Road kitchen
Holiday buffet, I
Missed out because if I came to one of these
And I couldn't because they were completely sold out
But if I came to one of these there was all you can eat caviar on the buffet now
I'm not a big fan of caviar, but if it was on a buffet, I'd be eating the heck out of that
Hey, this is Chloe by the way. Chloe is like super amazing figure skater
You're like the best figure skater in Singapore. Don't be don't be modest
You're like the best figure skater Singapore. You are
Yes
You win like gold medals, wait, what's the last competition you were at?
Yeah, and you won go
Dude, she's like crazy. Awesome
Yeah, so, you know like all of her
Figure-skating stuff. I would have shown you but I didn't bring it. Oh, you had a metalware. Oh, you brought it today. Like is it real gold?
What is the real gold? They give you a big gold medal?
Did it feel heavy? Did you bite it?
Congratulations on your gold medal. She's showing me for the buffet today. Yeah, you're excited. Can you eat a lot?
I don't remember how much you ate last time
Excited we got a mocktail package. We're getting like unlimited mocktails
But we just never had cheese with honey those of you guys who never had cheese cheese with honey
You're missing out the best is parmigiana with honey
Of course it is
What do you mean actually really good? Of course, it's good. It's delicious. Our mocktails are here
Yeah
So they also have premium sodas, look at this
Yeah, I want this. I'm gonna try every one of them. Oh chipotle. This is gonna be spicy. You ever watch crazy rich Asians
Remember when Rachel tried to drink this stuff?
This is definitely a mixed plate with everything because I couldn't decide what belongs to my first plate. I wanted everything on my first plate
Mmm
That fish is good
This is just a pepper beef
This looks really yummy, huh?
Yeah
Need some rice with that though. Soy sauce. Are you guys good? I like this buffet already
Crab you can get like cold crab too. Well chef Jeremy just brought me a massive bowl of crab
Thank you so much. Yo, you are amazing sir. Oh, that's so cool. Oh my god. That's so cool. I love this
This is dungeness crab, right? Yep
Familiar with this baby. I love this spoon. This is the greatest thing ever
It's so easy now just use your crab like a little cup
I love this spoon, it's magical
Got some meat round two and some noodles
Check out my noodles rice noodles and egg noodles bunch of spice. That looks good, huh?
I'll tell you what the beef noodle soup. It's pretty good
Yeah, that's not bad I mean it's not like
Taiwan beef noodle soup quality, but it's pretty darn good
Three rips. Oh
Yeah
Hmm. Oh
This grilled fish is great. It's so juicy and nice get the grilled fish. Wow, that's excellent
Grilled fish in that rib my two favorite meats so far
Well, there's really good they made this a special little drink with a rosemary and blueberry inside it's pretty cool I like it
That's perfect
That's a lot of cherry
Great with the coconut, that's awesome. You think this tastes like peanut butter?
It's like a Reese's Pieces
Good overall pretty good. I like the mocktail bar good balance of tea and meat. I do feel a little preggo right now
It's a forming about to the hotel and check this check out what they gave me platter of cheese and bread and nuts
And then this is the fanciest way I've ever seen anybody organized berries. Look at this. It's like glass
It's like a tray for jewelry, but it's berries and whoa who can't eat this many almonds. I appreciate it though
Thanks to JW Marriott. If I was a squirrel, I'd be going nuts right now. I
Love them
Flight tomorrow
Saying goodbye to Singapore. Hopefully one last good meal. I'm leaving today heading to the airport and just about I
Gotta I gotta go, but I just want to stop by real quick at this
Duck rice place that I missed out on look at this line out the door
Actually the first place I saw wasn't the duck house that place was really popular
I mean who wants to eat duck for breakfast right except for me
Not too shabby some pieces a little dry the ones covered in sauce is really good
Definitely not as good
As the other duck house I showed you guys in the video last time I was here
But definitely better than anything I'll get in Seattle. I wish I had more time. I
Literally should have been leaving for the airport
Like 30 minutes ago. So I just came here rushed across the street place was pretty close
rushed across the street and grabbed the dish I
Should have just forgotten to sleep. I made a bad decision today
Sleep should never have been above food
This might be the only time I've ever been in Singapore where I did not have chicken rice. No chicken rice this time
It actually amazes me. It's so surprised. I didn't do it, but I can't believe I missed out now. I have no time. I gotta go
Actually, I'm kind of happy. I'm leaving today. This is probably the hottest day. I've been here
Alright, I literally
Have to be at the airport in the next 30 minutes. So this involves going to my room grab my luggage get a cab
I got a rush
Just wanted to make sure I
Think this was Harry Potter before
This airport is so awesome
I was really hustling but I just forgot how efficient this airport is literally check-in was like five minutes and
Customs was usually it takes a long time was less than it was completely automated took less than 30 seconds
Another reason I love this airport in this country so efficient and people are so courteous and nice
Sad to leave
Brought my own
A la xiang guo instant noodles dry hot pot instant noodles. Thanks for this Pam
Mmm, I love dry instant noodles more than the supi kanda. It's just got much more flavor usually
Unless I'm in Taiwan or Japan
This is awesome. It's super spicy
And it's spicy and nummy and also the dry instant noodles
The noodles themselves don't get soggy too quickly definitely better than anything they got in this lounge. I
wish
Airline lounges will just have an assortment of like
premium instant noodles I
For one would appreciate that way more than any dishes. They could cook up. I mean, what would you rather see?
dry chicken wings were
Exotic instant noodles from Japan and Korea
Taiwan Singapore just an idea airlines. My friend Pam got me this. Thank you so much. This is legit
Now there's a fire get some cake there's I don't know modern art looking piece of food
It's like a three-day old stale cauliflower, I actually saw the cereal can't resist I don't know what your guilty pleasure is but mine is
super sweet
chocolatey flakes
Actually my favorite
Frosted mini-wheats
Golden grams and honey bunches of oats. I
Don't buy cereal because it's just horrible for you, but when I see it hard to resist
Plus is really good for your burning tongue
Itinerary Singapore Taipei Taipei, Seattle
This is actually the cutest
And probably this the biggest
Like fluffiest pillow I've ever had on the airline like the big space that
Eva gives you over here. This is cool
Hello kitty slippers. Hello kitty slippers
That's cool. I'll keep this so if you guys are a guest in my house
We get to wear hello kitty slippers
Brown stuff was eggplant turns out to be like some kind of fish salad
That's good. Not too big on this chunky fish salad thing though. I gotta say
It smells like it just came off the grill looks tender and juicy
Might be one of the best bites of food. I've had on zero line. It's super juicy and tender actually tastes like
They grilled it somewhere on the plane and brought it right to my seat
Delicious rice thing not so much, but yeah
All right, this place is really really popular it's one of the most popular beef noodle soup places in Taiwan
See if their outlet here is good. I had this noodle. Like I said many times in Taipei
Broth is good. I think I had problems with like the actual noodles last time
They don't have any vinegar which is kind of sad because this this thing without vinegar is like it's just way too beefy and
Something's just kind of missing with the balance. It's like
Dark side is taking over now that I'm quitting
Beefiness to the dark side, but it just feels
Imbalance in the force, you know, maybe I can swindle some vinegar from another noodle stand. That'd be really
very bad
It's like beef noodles
You've got to have vinegar
All right, they're homemade chili sauce
It's really not that spicy. It's good beef flavor, but it just needs it needs that vinegar
Those of you who love beef noodles, you know, I'm talking about it really needs that vinegar
otherwise
There's something like really complete about it. Oh look at this. I think it's like
Pig belly or pig face or something
That's good
That's really good don't remember getting that in the store last time but that thing is super romantic. Hey, hi Anna
We just met like two minutes ago
She shares my passion about the non vinegar issue, right?
Yeah
Can I ask you something? Let me know. This is true
So when I was in Australia, I heard through the grapevine that you guys think American accent is sexy. Is that true?
Wow, yes
You know American Hollywood all the actors and you guys sounds very smart
So when we go to Australia and we talk we sound like James Bond would in America
Yeah, if you want to put it that way, we just walk and be like how you doing?
You guys be like
I don't know. I think she might be pulling my leg on this one
We'll see someone's go test it out. Go to Australia
Just speak all New York and see what happened. Give it to him on the beef. Beef is really tender
Always get half tender one little gelatinous in your life
Actually the more you eat it the better it becomes
Not too bad. Definitely better than anything I'll get in the States. Next stop home
But just for one day and I bet you bet you for that one day. It's not gonna be raining in Seattle
Shot my phone
And it cracked
I have a phone case. I dropped it like this. This is a horrible phone case. Well
Also, it looks modern artsy. I guess I'm gonna veggie jelly
Oh sweet
No, I do this is complete pales man that take
That is tender the meat just separates crust I can actually do without but
That's a tender piece of lamb
Very nice. I gotta say all the times I've flown
on the Yuba airline
There's the one time where the food has been the best
Really can't complain about anything. I would definitely recommend if you're flying this airline
Don't eat the meal that they're serving directly on the flight. I think you can do this about
36 hours before the flight or 24 hours before the flight
Order a meal so much better
