  Speaker 1: beat the queue.

  Speaker 1: And have the patience to wait for as long as
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: it might take to get a pair, 3 or even
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: 1 ticket to the weekend's concert here in Singapore. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I must say, given the staging for this one, the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: After Dawn till After Hours Till Dawn tour rather, you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: got to get, you got to go, at least for
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: 1 night and try. And if it's your first time
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: tuning in,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I'm a huge football fan, and that's why I'm looking
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: forward to World Cup 2026. Never mind the politics, never
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: mind the conspiracies. Uh, I'm all up for football action.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Premier League season is ending very soon,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: this weekend, and to Arsenal fans, congratulations, 1-0 against Burnley.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: For some strange reason, Kai Harvard suddenly showing up for
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your squad. Well done. Uh, but in terms of World
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Cup news or maybe football news, I wanna say congratulations
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to Neymar. Neymar has received the official Brazil call-up from
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: manager Carlo Ancelotti, so we are gonna see Neymar in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the Brazil squad this World Cup. So I'm happy for that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Well done. He, he's really tried.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: He has really tried his best, people, and going to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Spanish football, Lamin Yamal could be out for the 1st
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: 2 games of the World Cup. They're hoping to get
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: him fit against Uruguay and going to the Spanish league,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: he returns as the manager of Real Madrid.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Because next season.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Jose Mourinho is the manager of Real Madrid again. Wow.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: In a very interesting turn of events, I cannot wait
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to see how his second spell at Real Madrid goes.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: But I must say, having been to the Santiago Bernabeu
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: just a few months ago, I was there in October
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and I even did a video for you. I watched
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: El Clasico live, the game where Kylian Mbappe and Jude
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Bellingham scored 2 goals.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: For Real Madrid to make it 2-1. If I'm not wrong,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: for Barcelona, it was Fermin Lopez who made it 1
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for Barcelona, but the final score was Madrid 2. Barcelona
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: 1 whenever they play Hala Madrid in the stadium, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: because it's like an indoor dome, it's absolutely goosebumps inducing.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: If you're able to, I hope you go to your
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: favorite football team's stadium to catch a home game live
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: one day. It's a different experience.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: than watching it on the screens. Also getting married this year,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: or maybe she's gotten married already. Knowing her, she will
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: do first, then tell her millions of fans later. That
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: song called The Opalite right here on 987, your number
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: one hit music station. And OK, phone lines are open
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: over at 669-11987. As always, Sonia and I, we're on
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a mission to make sure we get every school, give
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a shout out here on the show.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And so far, so good. Yesterday, if I'm not wrong,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we had Ethan from Maha Bodhi School. Thank you very
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: much for your call. Ethan, who are we gonna get
• 4:32

• 4:35
  Speaker 1: school a shout out, maybe even your classmates or your CCA.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And as always, the biggest takeaway for you, maybe you

• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'll play it for you here on 987. Have a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: great day, OK? Thank you. Take care, Elliott. Bye-bye. So,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: last week, I shared with you how over in China,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: there was a visually impaired woman who was struck by
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: A scooter rider on a scooter, of course, and the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: rider decided to scold the lady, saying, Hey, you don't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: know where you're going, is it? But she's visually impaired
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and you can see the cane very clearly on the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: floor in the video, and she was trying to find
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the cane and all that, to which there was outrage.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: People were going, How can you do this? Go and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: find the guy, go and investigate. And true enough, the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: police did. And as of this morning, I read, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: my heart sank la, sank out of anger.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It was actually a staged incident. Yup, the lady and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the scooter rider actually knew each other and they staged
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this incident to gain more following and profit from whatever
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: business that they're doing.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Hey
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, the the the kind of things people would
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: do to gain a following, yeah, I, I when you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: think you've seen it all and heard it all, they
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: change the questions. There you go. Earlier I was saying
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: if you're a private hire vehicle driver or maybe even
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a cab driver here in Singapore, I I know there
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: are a couple of places where the moment you see
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the booking,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You will go, OK, no, I'm not gonna take it
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: because it's very far. I know this for a fact
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: because last year when we were doing 987 Star and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: one of our locations was the Scouts camp over at
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Lim Chu Kang.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I had a hell of a time trying to get
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a cab or a private hire vehicle, to the point
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: where I got one, I actually told the driver, hey,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you know what, I know it's very out of the way. Uh,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I'll be tipping you because going in towards the scouts camp,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it's a path filled with gravel, where buses may be
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: no problem, but for a small car, you gotta go
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: very slow to make sure the rocks don't damage your
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: car and all that. So, thank you very much to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the drivers that took me there.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But let's tell you the story of 39 year old
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Grab driver Raymond. Not a sponsored post, by the way. Um,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: there was a father and son duo who are living
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in Brunei, but for the father, his parents are buried
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore at the Muslim cemetery at Lim Chu Kang, OK?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: So, his son wanted to go and pay respects to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: his grandparents, the father's parents, of course, before traveling abroad
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and so they decided, OK, let's come to Singapore and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: let's clean their graves as you should whenever you can.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: So, Raymond was the Grab driver that took their booking
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to Lim Chu Kang. So he accepted it. That's a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: win for the father and son duo already. The next
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: win is Raymond decides to stay at Lim Chu Kang
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to wait for the father and son duo to finish
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: everything because Raymond thought that, hey, you know what, it
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: might be quite hard to get a grab from this location,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: so I will stay with you. That's the 2nd win.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: The 3rd win, Raymond was observing the father and son
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: conduct their rituals and prayers and cleaning up the grave.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Raymond decides to join in and help them wipe down
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the grave as well. I, I think that is a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: very nice story and a win for racial harmony and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a win for humanity here in Singapore. I love it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Well done.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And Raymond brought them to their next location and only
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: accepted the standard Grab fare. So I guess if anyone
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: from Grab is listening to this, please give Raymond something.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I think this is really an exemplary standards of how
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: sometimes the human spirit can just win you over like that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And to Raymond, if you're tuned in, thank you very much.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Very much for doing what you did and I'm pretty
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: sure the father and son duo who is currently living
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in Brunei, they will remember you for the rest of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: their lives. It's Cortis TNT right here on 987, your
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: number one hit music station. Joakim Gomez here with you.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And earlier I was saying you are familiar with Ne
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yo's classic hit, Closer. Here is how it sounds like.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, if you are bobbing your head right now, you
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and I both here on the station, but OK, um,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Radio One Extra for the BBC. I, I love their content,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: by the way. I feel that they make radio fun
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and what one of their hosts, Remy Rhymes, actually did
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: with Neo, she got Neo in the studio. They're having
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: an interview and she does this segment called Nursery Rhymes,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: using the artist's backing track of a popular song they have.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So, this is Neo and Remi Rhymes doing twinkle Twinkle
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Little Star using closer and after this, trust me, you'll
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: never ever hear closer the same way ever again. Here
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: is the verse.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Twinkle twinkle
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Like
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: OK, that's the verse, and if you're wondering, hey, will
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the chorus sound something similar? The answer is yes, it will.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Wait for it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And here we go.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And you would think Neo might have found this lame
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: or whatsoever. No, he was vibing in the studio. There
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you go. I think the full video has gone viral
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: on TikTok and people are saying, Neo, can you please
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: release a nursery rhymes album? We'll definitely buy it. Now, um,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: maybe later on if you have free time.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of CNA Insider. I I love
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the kind of content they put out. I think it's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: very educational, something that we could all learn from. It
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: might even help us with our general knowledge and even
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: what's happening here in Singapore or overseas. So Diana Su,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: who actually hosts a few of the episodes of Talking Point,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: She actually disguised herself as a senior here in Singapore.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: You can see the entire makeup process and she was
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: walking past all these hair salons, nail salons, skin salons
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and all that, and when she was walking by as Diana, sir,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: nobody stopped her.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: When she walked past these shops under her disguise as
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the elderly auntie, she got stopped almost everywhere she went
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and she got pressured into signing packages and all that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: It's a very good watch and something maybe you can
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: watch and warn your moms, your dads, or even your
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: grandparents about to be careful and to always not sign
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the package. Wait a while, think about it first and
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: do your research.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Because there's also a segment where they feature what Case,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the consumer, uh, I cannot for the life of me
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: recall the full title, but yes, Kay Singapore. There's even
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a segment where they will tell you what Case can
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: do and cannot do. So it's a very nice watch
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: for you again on CNN Insider. Very educational video, this one.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And by the way, in case you're wondering where our
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: darling Sonny Chew is, she just got married over the weekend.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Some news outlets still reporting about it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And she's currently on her way to the southern side
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of France for a nice honeymoon. She will be back
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: with us 2nd of June. That's the Tuesday after Vesak Day. So,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on the 2nd of June, I will do one show
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: with her, then it's my turn for a break.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I, I, I'm going to Bhutan, so anyone has recommendations,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: let me know. I know you have to be guided
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: by a tour guide and all that, but I'm on
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a solo private guide. Let's see. I cannot wait to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: enjoy what has been raved about by friends. So whenever
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I say I'm going to Bhutan, they go, Oh, Bhutan, wow,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy it. It's so nice over there. Anyway,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: that's a story for later on. But now, if you
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: are a foodie here in Singapore, here's my question.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Would you travel for food? Because for me, I know
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a convenience guy, but it's sometimes
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I really crave for something that could be found at
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Bukit Panjang, by the way, like the Kur Komian. I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: would go or maybe even juicingng Teo Chew Wei. I'll
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: take the train. I'll go to BD World and I'll
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: go to the Teo Cheng Wei. I'll have it, then
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I'll go home very happy because people know in the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: comment section and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: For this particular one, I'm not too sure how to feel.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You know, Chim Me Chin, the one over at the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Katong area. I, I don't know whether it has it
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: been there for 100+ years already at the same spot,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: but yeah, um, initially it was closed for a bit,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: then it reopened again.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: And for Chimmi Chin, Sonia and I will always have
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: a very soft spot for it because in 2018, we
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: actually had our first magazine cover shoot there together for
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: eight days when they still have physical copies. The pictures
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: are still available on social media. So you would know
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Chimi Chin is very popular for its kaya toast, and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: you've got the cream horns, very good te as well.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: What's splitting the public is they announced that in quarter
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: 3 later this year, they might be opening a new
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: outlet at Next Serangoon. Yes, to which, uh, look, again,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to Serangoon people, I've nothing against you, but even Serangoon
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: people themselves are saying Next is a terrible place sometimes.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: There's never a right time to go to Next because
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it's always crowded.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: It's a good thing, good problem for the people who
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: own Next and all the stores over there, but yes,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: it's always crowded over at Next. So with Chin Me
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Chin opening over there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can expect snaking queues and long lines, but
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: some of the comments on social media and even maybe
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: public sentiment is, hey, actually, Chinmi Chin, right, is such
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a gem and diamond of Katong. We feel that it
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: should stay only in Katong. If you want to have chimichin,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you come down to Katong to try it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Some people are saying, OK lah, but think about our
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: elderly and seniors who maybe live not too near Katong.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe next could be a better option for them. Yeah, I, I,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I see both sides of the coin, and that's why
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I wanna hear from you. 669-119-87 or you can even
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: WhatsApp us at 90050987.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Would you travel for food here in Singapore? Like, for example,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you stay in Jurong, but there's a very popular Hokkien
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: mee in Tampines. Would you go all the way down
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: there to Makan?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And go back. Let me know your opinions and thoughts
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and maybe even weigh in on this whole Chimm Chin
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: thing as well. If we do like your answer, what's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: coming your way? A very nice dining experience. All thanks
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to our friends over at Luce Frasier's house worth $100.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Food being the focus of today's topic, would you travel
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: for food inspired by Chin Mee Chin's announcement?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That they'll be opening a second branch somewhere around Q3
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: at N Serangoon. So it's kind of split social media
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and public sentiment saying, hey, Chin Me Chin has been,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you know, the, the east side, the, the east side
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: claim for the last 100 years or so. I feel
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that if people want to try Chinmi Chin, they should
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: come to the east.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: we go to them, but now that it's opening over
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: at Next Serangoon, some are saying, Oh, I finally get
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to try it if I'm not able to travel to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the east side of Singapore. So what are your thoughts?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Would you travel for good food and maybe if you
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: want to weigh in on the whole Chimmi Chin opening
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: at Next Serangoon situation, let us know as well. I'm
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: gonna go to WhatsApp and say good morning to Wayne. Morning, Joakim.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I won't travel for food unless I have a car.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I live in Pasir Ris and I don't find it
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: worth traveling 1.5 hours to the other end for delicious food.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: But again, I always complain there's nothing much in my area.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: It's a first world problem. Regarding Chin Me Chin, opening
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: at Next is a strategic location.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: But it's also one of the most popular malls for food.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: My take is you'll probably need to queue a lot
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: during peak hours too. Alright. One coming in from John.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: John says, absolutely, I would travel for good or recommended food,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: especially when you're down and need some pick up comfort
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: food to make your day, and there's only trusted comfort
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: food that can lift you up but not others. Others
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: just doesn't make it right. So I replied John on
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: WhatsApp saying, what's the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: The furthest he has traveled for food, he says, from
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Jurong to Sengkang or even from Jurong to JB just
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: for that comfort food. Go to the phone lines to 669-119-87. Min,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: would you travel for food?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, because I stay around Fernvale, around, I think Northeast.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I some days I travel all the way to like
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: King Albert Park, I think it's the west side, just
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: to buy this sourdough from this, uh.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I think it's a local based bakery. Then after that,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I just take the train home. So the like, uh,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: travel time is about 1.5 hours too, and then fro
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: is another 2.5 hours, but the transaction is just 5
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: minutes lah.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so this sourdough brick can only be found at
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: King Albert Park. Yes. If you were to open somewhere
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: near Fernvale, would you still go to King Albert Park
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: or go to the Fernvale one?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Hm, I think I will go to the one nearest
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: to me. It used to be at Sing Ming and
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: then they actually, uh, they moved over, so I traveled
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: all the way there,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: yeah. Out of curiosity, what's so good about this sourdough bread?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Tell us please.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Um, it's very moist, and then, uh, there are some
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: unique flavors that I really like.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: We are hot in the debate of whether would you
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: travel for food here in Singapore, inspired by what Chimi
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Chin are doing in quarter 3 of this year. If
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you live in Serangoon, Kovan, maybe Boon Keng, Woodley, Potong Pasir,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you can celebrate because they are opening their second outlet
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: over at Serangoon.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Good next, yeah, to which I'm a bit worried now
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: because Next is already so crowded. There'll definitely be sneaking
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: lines and people on social media are saying yay, and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the other side are saying ey, but Chimi Chin has
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: been the gem of the east for 100 years. I
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: feel if you want to have Chimi Chin, you should
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: go to Katong, not go anywhere else. But yeah, that,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that's an ongoing debate right now. Going to our phone lines.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: 90050987. That's our WhatsApp number. I want to say good
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: morning to Martin. Martin says, hello Solo Joe. My friends
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and I often go to this Kota thingy Bakute restaurant
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: just to eat and come back. No fuss. We even
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: once drove up to Malacca just to eat the cheese
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: beehoon and came back. No staying over, no shopping. So
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I asked him, Martin.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: If such places were to open in Singapore, would you
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: still travel or have the one in Singa or have
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the one in Singapore? He goes, no way, I will
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: still travel because I don't want it to ruin the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: authentic experience. OK, fantastic. One coming in as well from Waitta.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Waitta says, Hey, Joakim, as a foodie, yes, I or
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: we will travel for good food, even overseas to nice
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: places for good food, similar to places for good food
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: when we travel.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I think that we should always encourage food business that
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: expands to other outlets as we always want to encourage
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: food culture with more legacy shops are being lost, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: more business, more growth and profit to continuation. And there
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: are so many works that are put in store for
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: food business owners, but they must ensure the food standard,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: staff training, and also others. Going to the phone lines
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: over at 669-119-87. Frederick, would you travel for good food?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, I mean, uh, for anything that is for food, right,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I mean traveling to different parts of Singapore, especially for cafe,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: like I mean because I'm a matcha lover, so anything
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that's matcha definitely I will travel to, uh, like even for,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: you know, like recently, like, uh, Somerset open like.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Uh, Yochi and, yeah, apparently a lot of my friends,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: they also travel from different parts of Singapore all the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: way to Somerset just for all these, and it's always
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: making long queue. What's the furthest you travel here in Singapore,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: like from Jurong to Pasir Ris or something like that?
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Anything you wanna share?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean from the west side like Chuchkang because
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I stay in Chokang, uh, so all the way to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: like say Punggol or even Sengtang or even Jewel, Jewel Changi, yes, OK.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: How do you travel there? Train? Do you ride or
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you drive there or what? Oh, MRT. OK, Frederick, hang
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: on before you go. So where's the best matcha here
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: in Singapore in your opinion?
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Uh, I would say have la. Hala, is it?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Alright, thank you very much. Bye-bye. Apparently majority are
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: saying yes, they will. Some even going as far as
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Kota Tingi or even Malacca. Wanna say good morning to
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: AT who gave me quite a lengthy message, so I'll
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: do my best to read everything for you. Morning, Joe.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: For me, I definitely would travel for food because I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: think like most Singaporeans, I live to eat. I stay
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: in the west, quite far west, but I would travel
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to Juchet to pick up this home dining.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Japanese uni set, just because I have a craving, but
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: of course it is also because I drive, so if
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I have to take the public transport, I may not
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: be as adventurous or as hardworking. And because I love
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: food so much, even when I travel, I'll plan my
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: shopping and my trips around where the good food is. Now,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: regarding the Chin Me Chin's new shop over at Next Serangoon,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: because I stay so far from the shop in Katong,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: so to me I would appreciate a branch closer to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: my place. I do understand the east side.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: s but I also appreciate that with the new location,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the shop is able to share a little bit of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: their heritage with more Singaporeans, making it more accessible, especially
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: like what you mentioned earlier on to the elderly, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: even for young families who probably used to live in
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the east and have since moved away from it, it'll
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: be quite nice for them to be able to share
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: that part of childhood memories with their young children. Well, AT, my,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: my only hope for Chimmi Chin's next Serangoon outlet is
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: they maintain the standards.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I feel one or two workers from the Katong branch
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: need to go to the Serangoon branch to make sure
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: that everything is up to standard and that the standard
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: of Chimichin maintains. Yeah. According to the phone lines, it's 669-119-87. Usman,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: what about you, brother? Furthest I've traveled to for this, uh. OK,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: so where do you live?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I live at Jurong Jurong to Changi. Do you ride there,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: drive there, take a train, or what? Drive. You drive.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I would love because down there the nasi lemma will
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: be so nice. The water, especially the chicken, the fried chicken,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: crispy which part of Changi is it Changi Village or what?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Changi Village. Alright, thank you so much. What's, what's the store?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I want to take notes now, uh.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Um, I can't remember. It's right in the corner. He's
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: in the corner when the, the longest queue is.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, apply the Singaporean theory. When a hawkert is a
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: very long queue, must be good. Go and join and
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: eat the food. Wanna say one more, uh, read one
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: more text, rather from John coming in. Morning, Joakim. My
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: dad is that foodie. He never eat or drink even
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a cup of coffee at the coffee shop near his
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: house for more than 30 years till the day he left.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Every meal he's driving to eat.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: His favorite breakfast, Zion Road, Hawker Bakuteh and dinner is

• 25:57
  Speaker 1: DMs about whether would you travel to extreme ends for
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: food here in Singapore, and I guess majority said yes.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Some even going to Penang, Malacca just to eat and
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: then come back. That's the ultimate sign of friendship or
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a close-knitted family who says, hey, you know what, let's
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: just drive. Let's just drive 4 or 5 hours for
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the cheese beehoon and come back. But today's winner, I

  Speaker 1: Star Wars Battlefront 2, and a lot of Star Wars games,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: he was actually the voice of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Yoda Quigon-jin, C-3PO in the Star Wars games itself, but
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: of course, people would know him best as Professor Newtonium.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: The voice actor Tom Kane Roberts has unfortunately passed away
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: due to complications from a stroke. His management company actually announced.

  Speaker 1: the gift of all the characters you've voiced, especially for

  Speaker 1: resurrecting the vinyl industry. She's giving us a sound that
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: our grandparents might love, the jazz style of music, and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy people of this generation actually appreciate her
