- Ah, Singapore!

Yeah?

That's who you wanted?

- (laughs) No!

(upbeat hip-hop music)

- Singapore!

Today, The Try Guys are going on

a Singaporean Food Adventure.

- We're going to eat as much food as humanly possible.

- Seven days and a hundred billion things to eat.

- Singapore is a dope country.

It is beautiful, it is incredibly diverse,

so many different predominant langauges,

so many different influxions of food and recipes,

and it's just, like, the cleanest city ever.

- [Zach] Singapore has immigrants from all over Asia

who come here, who've made it their home,

and they brought with them

incredible, delicious, authentic meals.

- A lot of these masters, they only cook one serving per Wok

so all of their attention is going towards

one of your servings.

- [Zach] The first day we teamed up with

a local tour guide to take us around,

tell us a little bit about the history,

and feed us a lot of food.

- Okay, I'm gonna give you all a sample of this mangosteen,

the people from the States are actually promoting it

as anti-cancerous kind of stuff.

- Mmm.

- [Lionel] Ah, it's very nice.

- That's delicious.

- I like looking in your eyes while I wash your hands.

- Okay, that's enough. That's enough. That's enough.

(laughs)

- [Keith] Hawker Centers are all over this place,

and they're basically giant food courts

of different food stalls.

- [Ned] You can get Michelin star meals

for under five dollars here.

What?

- It is basically just sugar and water,

and it is the sweetest thing you've ever had,

and it is delicious.

- [Eugene] The hainanese chicken and rice.

This is a must-have in Singapore,

one of their most iconic dishes.

- [Keith] Hell yeah, Ned.

- The skin gets this nice layer of fattiness

and the rice is so, like, light, kind of buttery.

- The hainanese chicken rice

is approved by this chicken lord.

- [Zach] Every mixed stir-fried dish

we have here is amazing.

- [Keith] So I had congee for the first time,

which is kind of like grits, but very savory,

and it was filled with, like, surprising pieces of chicken.

- Baby wants more!

- [Ned] Now you slap the water bottle onto the floor.

- Yeah, look everyone in the eye and throw it on the ground.

(laughs)

- [Zach] Singapore has got some crazy desserts.

- [Keith] They have these squiggly little green worms

on top of shaved ice, and there's corn.

- Oh, yeah, it's got coconut flavor.

- It's so good.

- I just made eye contact with someone

who's very slowly eating noodles. (laughs)

- My button broke, so I'm gonna be looking very sexy today.

- [Ned] Oh, yeah, that's a good excuse.

- And then my other button broke,

so I'll be looking very un-sexy today.

- Don't you think it's appealing?

Oh, this shit is bananas.

I like it a bunch. (laughs)

- We made a mistake. We made a terrible mistake.

Can you get a refund?

- Next, we're going to Little India, which is the center for

all of the amazing Indian cuisine in Singapore.

- Little India is the only place where you can see everybody

can sell anything along the roads.

- So there's all these, like, floral situations,

you can buy, like, edible flowers, all these herbs,

you can just walk by, buy sodas, buy goods,

it's a super cool, like, street market,

bizarre kind of feeling.

- Neem leaves, okay?

It can be found in India, in the wild.

They are also considered to cure colds.

- I'm coming off of a cold.

- And just chew.

It's a bit bitter.

- Oh my --

Oh, it's the most bitter thing I've ever tasted.

- It's like licking a battery.

- I think I'll keep my cold.

- Wet Market is where, by all the producer,

actually being sold, but we have very wet floors. (laughs)

That's why it's called "Wet Market."

- It's the heart of the banana plant.

- [Eugene] Exactly like a grape, but shaped like a...

- Thumb.

- There's a ton of respect between the different people,

the different cultures, the different religions.

They're living amongst each other harmoniously,

in a way that's really, pretty wonderful to see.

- [Ned] All the cuisines and cultures mixed together

and they've created something incredibly unique.

- [Zach] This biryani is so flavorful,

and it's a wet biryani, so normally biryani is, like,

a dryer rice, and this is just dense with flavor

and endlessly delicious.

- Inject that into my veins.

- Very good. Definitely puts funyuns to shame.

- You know, it's gonna look like a crab,

the way you're holding it.

- We had these amazing Indian dishes.

There's this thing, and it kinda looks like a Greek dessert,

and it was also, like, with Indian spices, so delicious.

- Whoa, the flavor on that is so good.

I like this one more than that one.

Maybe that's the secret, you get your insides so hot

that you don't realize how humid it is outside.

I don't know if the world knows this about me,

but I'm a little Indian food slut.

I could eat this all day, everyday, for the rest of my life.

- It was constant eating, and little Wes was dancing a fool.

- [Eugene] Chinatown is really amazing here in Singapore,

they have awesome dishes and some really beautiful temples.

Singapore's the most religiously diverse city in the world.

- [Zach] Durian, if you don't know,

is the stinkiest fruit in all the land.

- [Ned] Durian is seen in a lot of videos we've done

for challenges, but it's been imported.

- [Zach] People tell us, "well, you have to have it fresh,

it's so much better."

- [Ned] So we're gonna give it another shot here.

I'm a little worried about how this is gonna go.

- How would you describe this smell?

Cause I really don't know, it's like...

If fruit had a locker room, after they worked out,

this is what it would smell like.

- As they washed themselves with garlic.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- What do you think?

- Oh, it's garlic.

The initial flavor, very abrasive, it's garlic,

but the inside is actually pretty delicious.

After you're done cooking your linguine,

you take your mango and you just rub it on

the bottom of the pan, soak up all that oil and garlic,

pop it into your mouth, durian.

- [Maggie] So smelly.

- [Eugene] (laughs) Keith, are you okay?

- Durian's great, but you just have to get it in Singapore.

- My breath smells awful.

Do not make out after durian.

- There's a bittery-ness, too.

My wife, just give us a kiss.

- No...

(laughs)

- That's dope. Different video entirely.

- [Keith] That's gonna be the thumbnail.

- [Eugene] What happened, Maggie?

- Zach gave me a peck and it smelt so bad.

- I'm so sorry!

- No kisses for a week.

- Arab Street is a really cool part of the city.

Zach, Maggie, and I are gonna try the murtabak there,

which is a new favorite dish of ours.

- [Zach] It's like a flat, pancake, very flakey pastry,

almost like you took the top of a croissant, flattened it,

and then put diced onion and meat in the middle.

- I'm a third-wheel, I'm a third-wheel in the boat quay,

Eugene's a third-wheel -- I'm not a throuple!

- Throuple!

- You guys can wash your hands together,

I'll go for a walk.

(japanese music)

- Orchids.

Or kids!

- What time is it, Eugene?

♪ It's orchid break time ♪

♪ Orchid break ♪

♪ You like orchids ♪

♪ I like orchids ♪

♪ Or kids ♪

♪ Orchids, pink ♪

♪ Or black. ♪

♪ Yellow, orange, flowers, ♪

♪ Sniff 'em, you'll like 'em! ♪

♪ We got orchids or kids, ♪

♪ And, or adults or kids, ♪

♪ all up in your butt. ♪

- One of the coolest things in Singapore so far has been

seeing the intersection of architecture and nature.

There are so many plants everywhere you look.

This has to be the greatest city that I've ever been in.

Singapore is, like, what you wished the future looked like.

- [Keith] There's a high rise that just has

a fake boat at the top and it has

the longest rooftop infinity pool in the world,

which is a crazy view, to, like,

look across an infinity pool and just see a skyline.

- [Ned] And from the top of Marina Bay Sands,

you can also look down through Gardens By The Bay,

and the super trees in a lightshow.

We kept Wes up a little past his bedtime,

but then once the lights came on,

he was just like, "wow!"

- [Keith] A lot of it was actual Disney songs,

which we can't use in this video,

so here's a sound-alike, Disney-type, music track

that we can use legally.

- [Zach] A friend brought us to Newton Circus,

which is where they filmed the movie, "Crazy Rich Asians",

you know, that dope Hawker scene?

She disappears and says,

"I'll get you guys a couple bites to eat."

She comes back with fourteen dishes.

We had chili crab and pepper crab.

Pepper crab is, just, a revelation.

Whoa, it's so peppery.

Peppery!

It is just so much black pepper,

that the flavor then becomes spicy.

- This is so good.

And this is just scratching the surface,

there's so much more to eat.

- I think we're married now.

- No, you're not.

I married her.

Put that ring back on! No!

- Wait, does that mean I'm married to Keith?

- Yeah.

- Sister-husbands.

- Okay, I'd get down with that.

- One of the things we scheduled here is doing

a cooking class where we get to learn how to do

some regional cuisine authentically.

The dish that we're focusing on here is laksa.

Laksa's really one of the most official foods

you can get here in Singapore.

- [Keith] If you've never had it, the best way

I can describe it is, like, ramen meats tom kha,

which is the Thai coconut soup.

It has this very, like, thick, rich experience,

but it also is kind of ramen noodle-y.

Super delicious.

- [Ned] It really gave me a better appreciation

of everything that goes into it.

- [Zach] It's such a delicious soup,

that someone we ran into was making it as a cocktail.

- Wow. It tastes just like laksa.
