As a Singaporean, Xiaohui expressed that the Bak Kut Teh of "Sister's Café" is made of vegetables, mushrooms, and many other ingredients. It tastes just like the taste of home because she also put in similar ingredients while making Bak Kut Teh at home.The second one is "Lin Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice (林記海南雞飯)" in Taipei City. After eating the soup of Bak Kut Teh, Xiaohui said that the taste is a bit different from that in Singapore as the taste of pepper is not that strong. However, the meat tenderness makes it easier to be chewed and swallowed. Besides, the chicken and sauces of Hainanese Chicken Rice are quite authentic, so I recommend it to those who want to try Hainanese Chicken Rice.Read More: South Korean YouTuber lixian had a taste of traditional & popular delicacies at Nanmen Market Dan Dan recommends Hainanese chicken rice from the "池先生Kopititam".

She ordered Nasi Lemak (椰漿飯) - the signature Malaysian dish of this restaurant. The side dishes and garnishing & food presentation are very similar to the ones in Singapore as there are boiled eggs, anchovies, cucumbers, and chicken nuggets. The banana leaves on the side enhance the aroma of the dish. The chicken nuggets are crispy and the coconut milk flavor in the rice is very rich, making Xiaohui nod and scream that the food is so delicious.To end the meal on a high note, they tried a popular dessert in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia – Cendol (煎蕊).
