Itinerary
Savor Singapore’s world-famous street food and uncover the flavors that define its rich cultural heritage. With a passionate local foodie as your guide, you’ll dive into hawker centers, bustling markets, and hidden food stalls that only locals know. This isn’t just a food tour—it’s an immersive culinary adventure tailored to your taste. Before your journey begins, your host will reach out with a short questionnaire to craft an itinerary based on your favorite flavors, whether it’s indulging in Michelin-rated hawker dishes, discovering heritage recipes, or tasting the latest local food trends. Here are some highlights to whet your appetite:
Step into Singapore's largest and most iconic hawker center, where sizzling woks, fragrant spices, and bustling food stalls bring the city's culinary heritage to life. Your passionate local host will guide you through the maze of vendors, sharing insider tips and introducing you to signature dishes like char kway teow (wok-fried flat noodles) and carrot cake (savory radish cake, not the dessert!).
Try the world-famous soya sauce chicken rice, Singapore's first Michelin-starred hawker dish, while learning about the evolution of hawker culture and its role in Singapore's vibrant culinary landscape.
One of Singapore’s oldest and largest hawker centers, famous for authentic Hokkien mee (prawn noodles) and rojak (sweet-savory fruit salad). Your host will introduce you to stalls that have been serving these delights for generations.
Indulge in Hainanese Chicken Rice, Singapore’s national dish, at one of the city’s most renowned stalls. With guidance from your local host, discover how this simple yet flavorful dish became a global favorite.
End your food adventure at a lively late-night hawker center, savoring satay skewers and ice-cold sugarcane juice under the stars. Feel the energy of Singapore’s vibrant night food scene as locals gather for their favorite supper bites.

We have been to Singapore several times before but weren’t sure what to order at the Hawker markets. Mark was a great guide, really informative about Singapore overall as well as the cuisine. He arranged for us to taste lots of different foods which we would never had the opportunity to try if we were on our own. We had a really great trip and would highly recommend giving it a try.
I’m delighted to hear that Mark helped make your time in Singapore so enjoyable and informative, especially at the hawker markets. It’s fantastic that you were able to try a variety of local dishes you might not have discovered on your own — that’s exactly the kind of authentic experience we love to create.
