Itinerary
Your first stop is a store specializing in bakkwa, jerky-like meat, slow grilled over charcoal with the same secret recipe handed down from generations ago. Savor the honey sweet, appetizing bakkwa or get a pack as a take-away souvenir. Stroll around a little more past the various small stalls that sell a plethora of tropical fruit, including the king of fruits, Durian, as well as fresh seafood and daily goods.
Continue onwards to a hawker center and explore the myriad of food stalls before tasting either “carrot cake” or Char Keow Teow. Warm up your appetite with this popular side dish that uses the simplest ingredients. Your main course of the day is at the first street-level Michelin stall.
Indulge in the stall’s signature dish, soya sauce chicken rice: soft tender marinated chicken with white rice and peanuts. Finish off the tour on a sweet note at a popular dessert shop. End your foodie experience here and head back to your accommodation from Chinatown MRT Station.

This tour gives you an insight into Chinatown with a nice feed along- the way. I was very lucky to have a very knowledgeable & informative tour guide by the name of Carol who made me feel welcome just like old friends catching up. Carol did go above and beyond for me which was much appreciated Would highly recommend.

Great little activity for evening in Singapore. Our guide took us to one of the less well known hawker centres and ordered food for us that I wouldn’t ordinarily have picked myself- he was knowledgeable and friendly. Do note that a large part of the tour is about the history of Singapore rather than food as such (title of tour maybe a little misleading!) but I enjoyed it none the less

Alfred was a great guide providing lots of information on Singapore and the food but also having fun along the way. There were 5 on our tour which was a great number and we all enjoyed the food, info and company. Don’t eat before as plenty of food on the night.

Our guide was informative, entertaining and kept us laughing in between food stops. Only three total guests and we all were impressed, and quite full by the end. Even went extra by taking us underground to the subway station. Highly recommend.

Lots of food and drink. Started slow with a taste of pork, thinking we were going to get little bits of food, but turned out that we had sugar cane drink, dim sum, a local carrot dish, then went to Hawker Chan for the famous chicken a d noodles, then to another local coffee shop for coffee. The guide was very knowledgeable and told us much about life in Singapore both past and present.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the generous variety of flavors, from local dim sum to Hawker Chan’s famous chicken rice. It is great to hear our guide provided such meaningful insights into Singapore's rich history and modern life. We strive to offer informative and delicious experiences for every guest.
