Meet the family behind Wonderlust Vlog – British couple Jonty and Millie, together with their adorable children Milo and Aspen, our new friends who recently relocated to Singapore from Britain, and they have been sharingsnippets of everyday lives in Singapore on their YouTube channel.
And because Singaporeans are known to be great foodies, we brought them to try not one, not two, but FIVE different delicious spots across Geylang! Did the little ones take well to Frog Leg Porridge? Was Durian a hit with the family? Watch the full video below!
Feeling hungry now? If you want to follow our footsteps and embark on this Geylang food tour with friends, here’s the map and addresses of all the places we visited!
SGN’ recommendations
01
G7 Live Seafood Restaurant
- 161, 163 Geylang Road, Lor 3 Geylang, Singapore 389417
We had their famous Frog Leg porridge and had both the spicy version as well as the non-spicy one for the little ones! They were really game to try this and even the little ones took well to it! With many food stops ahead of us, we had to make sure we didn’t allow ourselves to get too full!
02
Geylang Famous Beef Kway Teow
- 237 Geylang Rd, Singapore 389296
This beef hor fun needs no introduction. Served in a thick gravy with smooth rice noodles and melt-in-your-mouth beef slices, this was Jonty’s favourite stop! We love it paired with some green chillis, which aded a zesty tinge to the noodles. The plate was wiped clean before we moved on to the next stop.
03
Yong He Eating House
- 458 Geylang Road, Lor 24A Geylang, Singapore 389417
With this as our third stop, we had to pace our stomachs a little as we were starting to get a little full. This soy beancurd was smooth and light, and best paired with You Tiao (deep fried dough fritters). The tip is to dip the hot fritters into the soya drink so that it soaks up the drink, so you get both sweet and savoury in an explosive bite. Yum!
04
JB Ah Meng
- 458 Geylang Road, Lor 24A Geylang, Singapore 389417
This is a crowd favourite along Geylang and even though it was almost 9pm when we arrived at this stop, we had to wait for a while before we could get a seat. By this time, our pants were getting pretty tight so we just ordered two of their signature dishes to try – San Lou Mee Fen (Fried Rice Vermicelli) and Chilli Clams! The vermicelli was extremely tasty and even the kiddos who were spice adverse couldn’t help themselves to second servings of the clams! (They just had to drown their burning tongues in iced water.)
05
Durian 36
- 608 Geylang Road, Singapore 389547
And of course, we had to end our food tour with the most important dessert of all – king of fruits, the durian! We ordered one Mao Shan Wang durian, which is known to be slightly bittersweet and very rich and creamy Jonty and Millie loved it, but the kids couldn’t take the pungent smell haha! (Perhaps a couple more years in Singapore might just do the trick!) Watch the video to check out Aspen’s epic expression when she tried a tiny bit of the durian, and Milo trying to negotiate his way out of trying it!
