Michelle Chong’s Video About Easties Shaming Westies In Singapore Is Mad Relatable

And then came the one line that’s sure to make foodies bristle in annoyance: “The East got no carrot cake ah? Hmm? Bedok Interchange one nicer you know!”

Oh, and of course, we can’t forget how the ‘crown jewel’ of the West, Jurong Bird Park, is no longer around too.

The park closed in January this year, and has since been relocated to Birds Paradise at Mandai.

“You see! Even the birds don’t want to be here,” Michelle says, adding: “It’s really a place where birds don’t lay eggs.”

Ooh burn.

Michelle also threw in a quick reference to former actress Celest Chong, 43, whose Chinese name used to be Zhang Yuhua (张玉华).

“There’s a place called ‘Yuhua’ in Singapore. I didn’t even know that leh. Isnt’t that like Celest Chong’s Chinese name?” she said.

Celest shared earlier this year that she has changed her Chinese name to Si Lei, and that she will be moving back to Singapore for good this year, after being based in Toronto, Canada, for the past 13 years.

“Haha Easties, you know that’s you! Seriously tho, now that Westies got no more Bird Park, the West got what ah?” Michelle wrote in her caption.

Of course, Westies showed up in full force in the comments section. While some of them laughed that Michelle’s video was “so true”, others came prepared with a list of things to do in the West.

“West got Science Centre, Snow City, Jurong Point, IMM, Westgate, JEM, Jurong Lake Garden, Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak,” one netizen wrote.

So, is East side truly the best side, or is the West better? We’ll leave it up to you.
