A man’s travel vlog about Italy has gone viral, with many netizens loving the fact that it was delivered completely in Singlish.
Instagram and TikTok user @ericlinguine made the post on March 10, in which he gives a deadpan review of Milan and Venice.
“This one is Milan, ah. Italy, ah. The street look like that one, lor,” he says while showing a view of the cobbled street of the famous Italian city.
He then stands in front of the famous Duomo di Milano while grinning awkwardly as he continues his monologue: “Then this one is cathedral, lah. Quite amazing, lah. I like it.”
The 64-second video shows scenes of Milan and Venice and some of the dishes he ate, including a hilarious take on hot chocolate in Italy: “I go to three cafes, three cafes serve me the same thing, ah,” he says, stirring what he describes as chocolate sauce. “If you drink this one, ah, it’s like diabetic expressway, ah.”
“Then I hungry, mah. I go find food, lor. I go to this restaurant,” he says as he shows the interior of an eatery in Milan. A picture of a pasta dish then shows up, with him saying: “Order this thing, lah. I don’t know the name, lah, but OK, lah, good, lah, nice, lah.”
At his next stop, he says: “When you just enter Venice, look like that one, lor.” He adds that the lagoon is, “OK, lah. Nice, lah.”
He then eats some “random pasta at some random restaurant” in Venice, which he says is, “OK, lah, edible, lah. Nothing impressive.”
The video ends with him saying, “Then take photo, lor, photo, photo, photo…” as he strikes multiple poses.
