Tasty food, interesting tour

Loy has a comprehensive knowledge of Singapore and its history. He showed us different areas in Chinatown and we tried some delicious local foods at the hawker centre. An informative and fun evening.

Memorable evening experiencing Singapore cuisine like the locals.

Justin was great. Not only did we experience the local cuisine but also a history of Singapore and how to use the MRT. Highly recommend

Do this tour before you do anything in Singapore

John’s ability to give historical accounts of the development of Singapore, whilst showing best food hawkers was brilliant. I would encourage anyone to do this tour.

Delicious food tour

We enjoyed our food tour with Justin! So many things to try, accompanied by interesting facts about Singaporean history and culture. We were even lucky to savour from some of the famous Michelin rated hawker stands.

Hawker's food tasting at its best

Gene was our guide for this extensive food experience. His friendliness, knowledge and enthusiasm made this tasting tour memorable. We learnt so much about the earablishment and history of the 3 markets we went. along with the required "eaters etiquette" and hygiene required of the suppliers. And belive me, do arrive hungry, as you definitely won't be after 9 food and drink tastings. We highly recommend this experience.
