That kaya toast you had was legit. Many places don't serve it with slices of butter anymore. What you might get is just a spread of margarine.

Hi guys! As a fairly new subscriber to your channel/vlog I have been catching up with some of your videos and watched this one today... and just realise that (I believe) we live in the same property! Hope to bump into you both sometime and say hi, but in the meantime, have been enjoying your videos! Thanks for showing me a side of Singapore I haven't explored, despite having moved here some 7 years ago! Keep up the great work, am enjoying Jonty's music and looking forward to more Wonderlust! (Oh, and the Third Culture podcast Jonty is doing... love the vibe of that!) 😊

You're so right on getting out and explore around the neighbourhood. Even after 30 years, I'm pretty sure I don't know everything about it. The rain spell can be a revelation of sorts in certain matters. Tale of bad shoes which were pretty new, barely worn several days. Walked to an appointment last Tuesday in thunderstorm, 25 minutes walk, 30 minutes yadda yadda appointment, 10 minutes to get food and off home I went. 10 minutes later, I felt a thud on my left foot. To my astonishment, the left sole was coming off. What to do? I continued walking. 10 minutes later, the entire sole was off as I waited at a pedestrian crossing. I took it off, crossed the road with tiled gait and threw the sole into the dustbin. I was carrying an umbrella and packets of food so I wasn't going to hang on to that sole. The left shoe was down to its shell. Five minutes later as I was reaching home, the entire right sole dropped. So yeah, not going to buy that particular brand any more. They are walking shoes and the brand is supposedly good but apparently, water soluble glue was used to put the soles and shoe shells together. That was my second pair from that brand. The first pair I used for my walking jaunts developed holes in the soles after about a year and I was walking on pavements and even roads, not clambering in the forest or anything. I gave the company some feedback; your shoe products s**!!! They definitely used poor quality soles for their shoes. Those woofers on the table are pretty big (someone likes the blast? 😁). Shouldn't they be on the floor?

Oh no, your poor shoes and feet! I love my crocs. Any weather they are great, especially when caught in the rain. Super comfy and won’t fall apart. Those speakers are more to hear the various sounds instead of loud party style 😆 Jonty makes music so good speakers required. The sound may travel on the floor which is why they are there, I think…Jonty may be able to better answer you there!

I realize local markets are much cheaper than NTUC years ago. But some sellers in wet market reserve their best for their regulars, and we have to become regular once we found the right seller.

I’ve always been a bit cautious at markets, particularly when they don’t display the price. Not because I think I’ll be ripped off but as I just don’t know how much weight a price is a good price I guess. Becoming a regular is a good idea 👍🏼

@WONDERLUST I got ripped off as a local when starting out too. You sort of need to know the market rate. find some aunties (or condo group chat) to give you a recommendation or introduction. That's what we do in a new area. I get why young people prefer a worry free NTUC purchase. But once the relationship is established, it's texting them ahead a day to order your stuff (for meat), grab and pay the next. It cut unnecessary waiting time.

15:54 Ah….The American Standard School, an international school built on an old local Ssecondary School. My alma mater. 😢 Upper Serangoon Secondary School. There are few schools around those areas that has be absorbed by other school and the old buildings got demolished to make way for the new. Like the condo next door that used to be a Primary School. The cemeteries in front of the school are gone now, filled with the living instead of the dead, with the new HDB blocks. The Mosque is gone as well. FYI the Christian cemetery used to be a nice place for a morning or evening jogs for the residents as well as for the school PE lesson. Also a place where the boys or girls settled their differences by fighting each other. Anyhoo, your area has three supermarkets nearby, Prime behind Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre (another place for you to explore before it being demolished and renovated, very 80s decor), Giant as well as Fairprice at 18 Tai Seng. Also Tai Seng has tons of eatery like Din Tai Fung and Hei Sushi plus Michelin Tim Ho Wan etc. Also if you go a little further up, you can bring Milo to an indoor mini racing car tracks

"Cheaper to eat out." When you think about the food preparation, cooking and cleaning up after, it all takes time and effort. Or you can spend (as you mentioned) $11 and dinner is done in about 30 minutes. And you don't have all that food prep and washing up. Hawkers and eateries in Singapore are like "Centralised Kitchens" - they are efficient, good, and saves you time and money. Yeah, if you want, you can feel guilty about not cooking. But i say lean into the efficient Centralised Kitchen concept. Unless you like cooking, you were not put on this earth to slave over a hot stove. 🙂
