Hey you guys Phoebe here from a Little Grey Box now Matt and I are back in
[4]
Singapore as part of our #SquadSQ trip we've done South Africa we've done South Korea
[9]
now we are back here in Singapore and we are kicking off an awesome few days
[12]
with a guided after-dark tour with our man Yap!
[23]
so the way Yap just described this sugarcane and the heat up in this place I'm feeling it
[27]
you guys I am so thirsty right now
[30]
that is so good it's so refreshing
[33]
sweet but not too sweet it's really earthy
[60]
I haven't eaten for 4 days it's time for some food
[63]
that's not true you've been living on Pocari Sweat
[65]
so we are at La Pau Sat because we are waiting for 7:00 p.m. when they shut
[70]
this street down you guys so what they will do they will start to corner off
[74]
this area no more car traffic will come through this will be pedestrians only
[79]
they're gonna set up all these tables and chairs you can get your street food on
[82]
look at you nodding in the background Yap is like my hype man right now
[98]
Alright so they have closed the street here and La Pau Sat is in full swing
[102]
touts are screaming out 'do you want satay?' yes we do
[105]
so we have got a great selection of food here
[107]
we've got satay of course and a delicious satay sauce
[110]
we've got two kinds of carrot cake
[112]
we've got salted egg and we've got
[114]
some barbecued stingray!
[116]
Yap is just bringing me some food I've never tried before
[118]
yeah!
[124]
and to wash all that down you guys you can go with a Tiger beer... I'm a little bit
[127]
tired and I have this theory that if I have a Tiger I'm gonna want another one
[131]
and then I'm gonna want a nap so instead I'm having day Tai Peng
[136]
so other than Teh Peng yeah if you want to have some more adventurous style
[140]
you can get it in two layers right, you get a Teh Chino
[144]
which means the milk will be on the bottom the tea will be on top... Teh Chino
[150]
welcome to Ahambra Satay Club
[153]
Ok, stall number 3 please do come down again alright?
[161]
There's a pizza ATM! is it 24 hours?
[164]
yes, it's over there, 24 hours
[167]
this is the happiest day of my entire life
[220]
Singapore is known for having some amazing hidden bars and one of them is
[225]
somewhere around here and Yap the cheeky little devil has brought us
[228]
here and given us three chances to try and guess where the hidden bar is I've
[233]
used to of them and I'm obviously wrong both times and he's giggling like a maniac
[237]
I don't know... how do you find a hidden bar?
[242]
what does the mean? He's like the Riddler
[251]
that is a bar?
[257]
normally, i'm at 7 Eleven buying slurpees
[259]
then all of a sudden I'm in a hidden bar
[273]
this is our final stop on our tour
[277]
we did it man!
[279]
so we are in Clarke Quay now this area is home to loads of bars
[283]
there's loads of live music and great cocktails!
[300]
It is our second day here in Singapore and we made a new friend!
[303]
this is Rishi...
[304]
Hey what's up guys?
[305]
and Rishi has taken us to our first stop
[307]
which s his favorite coffee shop - this is The Stamping Grounds here in Siglap
[312]
stop number two today with Rishi is right here in Bedok South no way a local
[316]
now we're in a local... hawker centre, food court area
[320]
this is actually real Singaporean food
[322]
starting with Youtiao
[324]
so this is basically a fried dough stick people eat it different ways
[328]
you can have it in your congee, with your congee...
[330]
Rishi just said he's seen people dipping it in coffee, he's a man that just does it straight up
[334]
so I'm gonna go straight up and then I'm go the coffee dunk
[339]
it's crunchy
[340]
it's deep-fried
[341]
it's delicious
[348]
It's actually quite good
[357]
so the reason I like coming here for my kaya toast is that the woman here she slow
[363]
toasts the bread it normally takes less time to make kaya toast, she takes more time
[369]
that's why I think it's much better
[372]
last night you would have seen Matt and I drinking
[374]
Teh Peng
[375]
so that's iced milk tea made from condensed milk
[378]
this morning you guys it's the AM I need iced kopi!
[391]
So we're right here at Masjid Sultan which is one of the most beautiful mosques
[395]
in Singapore and in the Arab Street area we're quite lucky to catch it during the
[400]
Azan period thats the call to prayer in the afternoon
[404]
what's going on is that we are just walking past the Kampong Glam Cafe
[407]
this is actually got a lot of history
[409]
for the comedy community in Singapore because what happens that we would
[412]
perform our shows at the open mic at the Blue Jazz Cafe which is about 300 meters
[416]
that way and after the show we will all come out here and discuss our sets and
[422]
talk about the show and how shitty the audience was or how great they were
[427]
and this place has a long history the reason the comics would go to this place is because it's the...
[433]
cheapest place on the stretch and comedians have no money
[436]
I have been wanting to come to Haji Lane for ages and for some reason I just
[439]
never ever seem to get around to it but Rishi has brought us here today so
[443]
it's not far from Arab Street and it's just a really cool area there's lots of
[447]
bright shop fronts lots of boutique stores around
[450]
there's little cafes, lots of vegetarian food there's even a really gorgeous Italian greyhound
[453]
If you're a travel dogger like me you're like me
[456]
So it's just a really cool place to come and just see a different side of Singapore's culture
[471]
we're getting a kaya swiss roll from a bakery you would easily walk past
[476]
so of course they were sold out of the one we wanted that's just how my life goes
[480]
but a lady walking out of the store said the mango is the next best thing so
[484]
here's a look about
[486]
at about 11 o'clock tonight I'm gonna be wearing a bathrobe
[489]
at Swissotel main-lining one of these
[510]
Good morning you guys so we have been reunited
[514]
SquadSQ is back together! Woooo!
[517]
So this morning we are grabbing a group breakfast at Symmetry here in....
[521]
this area
[522]
and then we are gonna be spending the day together doing an awesome tour
[526]
so, let's go eat and then get out there
[542]
We're at the Peranakan Museum and look, in lieu of an actual qualified guide
[546]
we've decided to go with Luke
[549]
hello
[550]
Peranakan actually means 'child of' or 'born of' and is used to refer to people of mixed ethnic origins
[559]
So it's our last night in Singapore and we are at the Tippling Club at this
[563]
place is an awesome bar and it's gonna menu unlike anything I've ever seen so I
[567]
have this bag full of gummy bears and I have this little map and you're gonna match
[572]
your gummy bears to your map and then yeah just have a look
[575]
and see which one takes your fancy
[587]
with The Knowledge you get edible paper because all knowledge begins on paper
[594]
It is our very last day on the #SquadSQ trip and we are right here at the Fullerton Bay Hotel
[600]
because the guys at Singapore Airlines and the Singapore Tourism Board have
[603]
decided to end things in a very classy manner with a high tea
[607]
so the squad we're gonna get together right now have some high tea and enjoy
[611]
