Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Oplevelsen starter med en udforskning af Chinatown, hvor du vil komme til at nyde seværdighederne i Chinatown-kvarteret. Historier vil blive delt om dets historie, der fanger de tidlige kinesiske immigranters kampe, deres prøvelser og prøvelser med at få enderne til at mødes i et barskt kvarter fyldt med laster som opium, gambling, prostitution og død. Disse bygninger står stadig i dag. Gamle billeder vil blive vist, hvor du vil se den hurtige transformation af Singapores udvikling fra fortiden til i dag. Vi vil også besøge et hawkercenter og komme til at prøve lokalt populære kinesiske street food-køkkener fra Singapore, og samtidig opleve den lokale livsstil, der har eksisteret i de sidste årtier.
I Little India vil du blive bragt rundt i området, hvor farvernes liv fra gadeboder, der sælger frisk frugt og grøntsager, markeder med blomsterkranser, traditionelle tøjbutikker og røgelsesbutikker, vil charmere dine sanser. Det er på grund af disse handler og andre muligheder, der havde inspireret det tidlige indiske samfund til at flytte fra det oprindelige Little India nær den gamle strandpromenade, heroppe, hvor vandbøfler plejede at strejfe i det sumpede område. Vi vil besøge et kræmmermarked her og komme til at prøve en række pakistanske, nordindiske og indiske muslimske streetfood-køkkener og opleve den spændende livlighed i det indiske samfund, der spiser deres daglige måltider her.
Ovre ved det malaysiske kvarter i Kampong Glam vil vi udforske de gamle gamle gader. Du vil lære mere om dets folk og historie, især hvordan dette sted blev til, og at malaysiske kongelige plejede at regere øen. Bliv betaget af den storslåede Sultan-moske, der stadig tiltrækker muslimer fra hele verden, især i fasteperioden af Ramadanen, hvor grunden er forvandlet til pulserende gademarkeder. Herovre bliver du introduceret til en dessert i en selvstændigt drevet butik, og samtidig forundres du over de farverige graffitivægge, der er prydet overalt i kvarterets butikshuse.

This was honestly the best tour I’ve ever had in my life, and I travel a lot! He curated the tour to our preferences and spent over 8 hours with us because we all had the whole day free! He was also sooo funny! I learned so much from him!
Gerry’s tours are casual paced but full of interesting history and general conversation. This gives you time to eat, drink and take in the surroundings. He’s found the perfect balance and is a great human
Gerry was an amazing guide with extensive knowledge about the food, culture and life in Singapore. Gerry’s personable and easy going nature made our group feel comfortable with each other and made it an exceptional day. We ate, drank and laughed our way through a fun-filled day. Gerry was generous with his time and sharing about life as a local in Singapore.
This was ABSOLUTELY THE BEST TOUR EVER. Gerry not only made it feel like we were family, explained so much about the local culture but made sure the tour avoided high traffic tourist areas and rather focused on the better remote hawker spots. We learned so much and had the best meals. You must do this tour.
This is the best food tour in Singapore. Gerry takes you to all the best Chinese hawker food stands. He shares the history and culture of Singapore. He is very generous with all the food, drinks, information, and camaraderie. Gerry is a great guy and we loved the tour!
A fantastic foodie tour run by the very knowledgeable Gerry. The variety and flavour of the food we enjoyed was amazing and I loved the historical explanations. If you choose just one tour in Singapore, this should be it!
Amazing experience with Gerry. Really great way to get an authentic Singapore experience and meet some amazing locals. The food was incredible and it was great to see some of the sights. Gerry was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure it was a great experience. Highly recommend!
We have been on several food tours over the past 10 years. This was the absolute best experience because of our guide Gerry. He was so organized, knowledgeable and above all made it fun. He provided so much food and drink that for certain our group couldn’t eat it. BUT all left overs went to feed those locals who needed it. BRAVO Gerry. The cultural knowledge was very comprehensive WITH many historical photos from his iPad. As we moved through Chinatown, Little India and the Arabic quarter, he knew several locals and provided extensive information about many areas. I highly recommend this tour with Gerry. You will not be disappointed!
We had the pleasure of joining Gerry on his food tour through Chinatown, Little India, and the Arabic Quarter, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our entire trip. Gerry is an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, engaging, warm, and full of energy that made the whole experience feel like exploring with a friend rather than a formal tour. Thanks Gerry - we highly recommend this tour! You will be exceptionally well fed by beautiful local people that Gerry has a wonderful, respectful relationship with.
It was an amazing experience! Lots of delicious food and great information about Singapore's history. Gerry did everything to make you feel welcome and he made sure no one went hungry. Any leftover food was donated to the elderly/poor, so no need to feel bad about no being able to finish all the dishes Gerry provided us with. It was a great mix of food spots and other cultural centres, such as a Buddhist Temple. Really a big recommendation to anyone willing to expand their food horizon and learn some history. We ended up spending about 6.5h tpgether, with only a 6 person group, where everyone got along great
