Wishes to have bak kut teh again
When asked what his impression of Singapore was thus far, Zhang smiled and said it wasn't his first trip here.
He had been here once with his family as a child, and most vividly recalls his visit to Botanic Gardens.
"I took a picture there, but I'm not sure where that photo has gone," the actor laughed while reminiscing.
On this trip, Zhang wants to prioritise trying the local fare.
"The memories from my childhood trip here have faded, so I'd like to go try bak kut teh again and see if it still tastes the way I remember it to."
"The Best Thing" will be available for streaming on iQIYI in 2025.
