  • There's like a black version

  • and there's the white version,

  • and then we gotta get both.

  • Because it tastes different.

  • - This is $2.50.

  • This is the hidden luxury of Singapore.

  • - We're running out of hands. - Want to put it down?

  • We're going to put the food down.

  • - All right, what should we eat first?

  • Let's have some fun.

  • This is rice cake with sesame seeds on top

  • and then the sauce looks like it's some sort of sweet...

  • - It's very satisfying to just poke.

  • - You already eat? - No!

  • - Why are you chewing?

  • Breakfast!

  • - It's just savory Jell-o. - That's Jell-o.

  • - Doesn't it like melt in your mouth?

  • - It's also a nice spice.

  • - It's almost like I'm drinking it, it's so good.

  • That's the good stuff, you know?

  • When you don't have to work to eat your food--

  • - Yeah, it can just go down your gullet.

  • (mellow jazz)

  • - It's the same radish and stuff,

  • but like in terms of taste, it's not the same.

  • - Egg, radish, scallion,

  • and it's all fried together like almost like a fried rice.

  • We've got birds hanging out over there.

  • - Shut up, birds.

  • - All right, Alex.

  • I think you've got enough bird footage.

  • - What is this?

  • - Radish. - Radish.

  • - Oh.

  • - I don't think there was carrot in there.

  • - No.

  • Cheers.

  • It's just like fried rice.

  • It's like hearty, soulful.

  • I want to eat this every morning.

  • Okay, so it's exactly the same thing but different sauce.

  • - Yeah.

  • Which one do you prefer? - This one.

  • - What? - It's so sweet.

  • It's still salty.

  • It's just like a step-up.

  • - A theme that we're having is everything is very soft.

  • (down-tempo music)

  • - [Annie] You've got to stir it first.

  • - All right Annie, don't eat yet.

  • Cheers. - Cheers.

  • - I've never had that kind of noodle consistency.

  • - Where have you been? - Yeah.

  • - I don't know. - I love

  • Malaysian style curries because they are milder.

  • You can just drink up all of it,

  • but it's also light so it doesn't

  • fill your stomach up too much.

  • - We call it like, "very shiok."

  • You know what that means? - I'm shook!

  • - You're shook? - Shiok.

  • It's like so good that you just say like,

  • "Oh my gosh. This is so shiok."

  • (mellow music)

  • - It's like an Indian pancake. - It's beautiful.

  • It was rice and coconut.

  • Which one? - Oh!

  • - What should we eat with?

  • Mine goes straight to this.

  • What is it?

  • - Curry. - Curry.

  • This one is sugar and coconut.

  • - Whoa! - Oh, my Gosh.

  • - Orange sugar?

  • - It's almost like a crepe.

  • - The point of this is to absorb the flavors

  • of whatever you pick, right? - Uh huh.

  • - The sugar is really good.

  • It's my favorite.

  • - Why is it in an orange?

  • That's for a child.

  • That's like, straight up sugar!

  • It's like cotton candy!

  • - Mmm, it's so good. - So good, right?

  • - The outside is really crispy.

  • It's like a crepe

  • and the inside is more like a doughy bread.

  • I gotta say that the curry is the way to go here.

  • - Sugar. - Team Sugar!

  • - Team Spice, baby.

  • - I want to go to sleep.

  • - I got shiok. - Shiok.

  • - I'm shook.

  • Wait, how do you say it?

  • Alex, you should try some.

  • - [Annie] Not shook.

  • It's "Shiok."

  • - I-o-k.

  • - S-H-I-O-K.

  • - Shiok. - Shiok.

  • - Maybe "shook" and "shock".

  • - It's like "shocked" and "shook" together?
