#SHOWBIZ: Drew Barrymore enjoys popiah at Singapore's Maxwell Food Centre

KUALA LUMPUR: Hollywood actress and talk-show host Drew Barrymore recently shared a video of her visit to Singapore.

According to the Straits Times, the 49-year-old American star shared a video on TikTok yesterday (Oct 1).

In it, Barrymore can be seen seated at a table with stir-fried kangkong and eating what looks like popiah at the Maxwell Food Centre.

Dressed casually with a bare face, the actress seemed to be chatting with someone while eating in the clip, which was set to music.

The caption for the video read: "This and yap."

It was reported that Australia-based online publication, Travel Weekly, had uploaded an interview with Pei Shyuan Yeo, the Singaporean founder of local tour company Everyday Tour Company, on Aug 9.

The interview was accompanied by a picture of Yeo with Barrymore, who had a similar outfit to the one in the TikTok post.

Yeo said that the E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Charlie's Angels and The Wedding Singer actress had joined a food tour she offered in August, when she visited Singapore with her family then.

"Over the course of a few days, the family explored several Singapore sights. Some of her favourite activities included shopping for vintage and bohemian chic (items) at Haji Lane and having her first henna tattoo in Little India.

"Given her down-to-earth attitude and ability to connect with people from all walks of life, the food tour at a local hawker (centre) was also another highlight for her," said Yeo.
