Want to know what MIL and wifey say about Ghib's xin jia po lan jiao closing…😂
LOL😂😂😂
Anyone notice the kessoku tshirt.
Ghib is officially a certified Singaporean now. He ate the Vadai so appropriately with green chilli. Liked that the Singaporeans are still very Singaporeans. OMG – please get the pronunciation right. It sounded vulgar. Please consult your MIL or wifey to pronounce the 'LID POON LANG CHOW LIAO'
u need to visit ur MIL again …..u 4got how to say the ending HAHA
14:49
Big kusa moment
Omg Ghib, you never realised your outro was always hilarious (for those of us who understood Hokkien!!)
😂definitely people in Singapore and Malaysia will think another thing with that LJ word 🤣
So entertaining and authentic.. great video Ghib!!! Hahahahahaha..watch till the end!!
I recently visited Singapore for 9 days after being stucked in Japan for 4 years too, I literally FEEL this video T_T, thanks Ghib Ojisan for making such content!!
I was in UK for 1 year doing my studies. The first thing I ate when I came back was lor mee. Then prata, then prawn hokkien mee
Ananda…the more he eat, the more Singaporean he speak
Accent was driven by the Hokkien noodles sia…😂
I laugh so hard the last part when ghib accidentally said the bad word…hahahha
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
😂😂😂😂
This video is so emotional in the opening and hilarious at the end
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for making my day😂😂
Just watch the last 1 minute of the video, it summarize everything
Wow! This is so touching. Truly a testament to the fact that food is a cultural experience!
Dude looks abit like jack neo lol
Singapore lan jiao for the win!
I think Ghib's MIL laughing very hard at the last phrase. LOL!
Ghib, the correct easy to say run off in Hokkien is “Chao Liao” ( 走了）。But u usually mispronounce as “lan jiao” which means “penis” in Hokkien. It’s terrible when u say “Singapore lan Jiao “ means SG is like dick!” 🤣🤣
They should put subtitle in the end part where they curse in vulgar language, as foreign viewers wouldn't know what it means. :-))
lan jiao…..😂😂😂😂
😊😊😂😊😊
Love this video especially the signing off!!! Couldn’t stop laughing at the surprised look on Ananda’s face😂
Lan Jiao = Penis
Omg is that Anandaaaaa
The accompanying bayi beard is definitely dense and bushy.
These 3 fellas should be cast in Jack Neo new comedy movie titled Singapore Lan Jiao Lang. Should be hilarious,
Jack Neo movie on Spore LanJiaoLang and Storyline about Singaporean going abroad to work, and return home to find the food they missed.
I literally burst out laughing at the last part!!! OMG!! LMAO!!
Ghib… don’t say lanjiao to your mother in law please, she might slap u. 🙂 it means dick in Hokkien. LOL! You just asked them to say “Singapore Dick!”.
so many siambu
Hawkers are like my second parents, bcoz I eat out most of the time, so it's already like home cook food to me.
NO ONES GONNA TALK ABOUT THE KESSOKU BAND TSHIRT? I WANT ONEE
All these 3 have distinctly unique features about them. 😂 Metaverse characters
I’m in Paris, will be back to Singapore in a week but am already tearing watching this. The feelings are real ❤ 異文化を理解するにはやはりその国に住まないとわかりません。どの文化がいいのか、正解はないけど、きちんと理解しすれば、渡る世間に鬼は無し。Lastly, “Lang” is not the same as “Lan”. ちゃんと正しく発音をしましょうね。
Lanjiao liao
lan jiao lang zao liao😆
Damnnnnn!
I never been back to Singapore for 4 years and I will feel the same way as them…
Missing all the foods in Singapore!
Ask your wife better what it means😂
I died at the end. 😂
😂Haha..made me laugh so much..d last part Ojisan…n the 2 Guys..
Your parting off word sounds so funnily vulgar. Slow down a bit. Sinkapor..lang, chow…liao.
LMAO signing off…
台湾人ですがxin ka po lan jiaoって聞こえましたな笑
なぜ全員一斉にアソコを言うんですか？と一瞬思ってました
Ghib's innocent look at the end (because of the LJ word) and the guests' puzzled look are just too adorable. It's probably the loudest I've ever laughed watching a Ghib's video. I hope Ghib recorded the wife's or MIL's expression the first time they saw this. 😂
I have seen many older hawkers hang up the apron and retire during or after covid. It is back breaking work. We are blessed to have them serve us a simple affordable bowl of noodles or nice plate of ckt to fill out tummies or cravings. But being a hawker may not be rewarding because of hours put in may not commensurate with the price they charge. Hawkers in a way do a great social service to us and is a way to connect our ties to home with our soul via our tummies. One day I hope the situation improves and we can have hawkers still passionate and earning well to provide us an affordable hearty meal.
