Ahead of his evening performance on June 25 at The Star Theatre, US R&B star Jason Derulo went on a local food hunt at Lau Pa Sat hawker centre.
The 35-year-old Want To Want Me singer tried a variety of dishes, such as chicken rice, chilli crab sauce lala clams and rojak, as well as desserts like ice kacang.
He was joined by 27-year-old local content creator Denise Teo, who goes by supercatkei online.
Derulo said of ice kacang: "It doesn't look like it's going to be creamy, but it's very creamy. A lot of flavours going on. I love mango. I'm going to give this a nine out of 10."
The singer then proceeded to sample chicken rice. He said: "Yeah, that's it. I could eat this every day. A 10 out of 10."
Rojak, however, was not to his liking. "The sauce looks nice. Peanutty. I don't love peanut with my dinner, so it's not really my vibe. I'm going to have to give that a four."
The video ended with the You DJ, I'll Drive singer trying lala. "This is way better than it looks. This is an eight out of 10."
Derulo is on his Nu King World Tour, which will stop in Ho Chi Minh City on June 28.
The Florida native made a name for himself on TikTok during the Covid-19 pandemic by taking part in viral challenges. He has 66.1 million followers on the video platform.
