A man\u2019s travel vlog about Italy has gone viral, with many netizens loving the fact that it was delivered completely in Singlish.<\/p>\n
Instagram and TikTok user @ericlinguine made the post on March 10<\/a>, in which he gives a deadpan review of Milan and Venice.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis one is Milan, ah. Italy, ah. The street look like that one, lor,\u201d he says while showing a view of the cobbled street of the famous Italian city.\u00a0<\/p>\n 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.”\u00a0<\/p>\n 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: \u201cI go to three cafes, three cafes serve me the same thing, ah,\u201d he says, stirring what he describes as chocolate sauce. \u201cIf you drink this one, ah, it\u2019s like diabetic expressway, ah.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThen I hungry, mah. I go find food, lor. I go to this restaurant,\u201d he says as he shows the interior of an eatery in Milan. A picture of a pasta dish then shows up, with him saying: \u201cOrder this thing, lah. I don\u2019t know the name, lah, but OK, lah, good, lah, nice, lah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n At his next stop, he says: \u201cWhen you just enter Venice, look like that one, lor.\u201d He adds that the lagoon is, \u201cOK, lah. Nice, lah.\u201d<\/p>\n He then eats some \u201crandom pasta at some random restaurant\u201d in Venice, which he says is, \u201cOK, lah, edible, lah. Nothing impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n The video ends with him saying, \u201cThen take photo, lor, photo, photo, photo\u2026\u201d as he strikes multiple poses.<\/p>\n Ericlinguine’s video has garnered 348,000 and 149,500 views on Instagram and TikTok, respectively.<\/p>\n Netizens loved the way he spoke, with most comments in Singlish.<\/p>\n \u201cLovely accent,\u201d said an Instagram user. \u201cSo cute your slang,\u201d said another.\u00a0<\/p>\n Many found the video humorous, too.<\/p>\n \u201cSo funny one lor,\u201d said one Instagram user. \u201cAiya nice, lah, so funny,\u201d said a TikToker.<\/p>\n Others loved how straightforward and relatable the video was.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI will always support these kinds of travel reviews. We Singaporeans can relate to and very close to home. Honest and non-pretentious,\u201d an Instagram user said. \u00a0\u201cLove it! I like hearing this \u2014 something different from the rest of the travel vlogs! I was entertained,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is officially the only way I want all my travel reviews to be,\u201d yet another commented. \u00a0<\/p>\n One netizen, presumably an Italian, even tried imitating Ericlinguine\u2019s Singlish: \u201cWah you so good man. Glad you loved my country. Same, me love yours.\u201d<\/p>\n However, not everyone was enamoured with the use of Singlish.\u00a0<\/p>\n One netizen said: \u201cStop glamorising Singlish please. You have single-handedly lowered the standard of Singaporeans. Singlish is nothing to be proud of… it is just acceptable in Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n Another said: \u201cSingaporeans really should make an effort never to talk like this again. It is doing them no favours.\u201d<\/p>\n Most netizens, however, appeared to enjoy the video.<\/p>\n One even echoed ericlinguine\u2019s expression: \u201cOK lah. Good lah. Nice lah.\u201d\u00a0 Have something to say? Join in!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n See something interesting?
