Description
Ask any Singaporean what their favourite pastime is, and they will say eating! Undertake an in-depth exploration of Singapore’s food culture. Learn about the history of food in Modern Singapore, from its founding in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles through to the present day. With a permanent resident population of 2.9 million Chinese, 500,000 Malays, and 350,000 Indians, Singapore is a melting pot of cultures. It is that melting pot that we will dive into and re-emerge from with full bellies! Discover the histories and stories behind the foods that we eat, as well as the restaurants that you eat them in. Grab a solid understanding of what it means to ‘eat like a local’ and how Singapore’s iconic dishes became embedded into Singapore’s culture. Eat like a local on a food tour and discover why Singaporeans love their food so much! Join a small-group food tour in Singapore with a maximum of 8 guests.

Food Tour in Singapore - a Melting Pot of Cultures!
- Start the food tour in the East Coast Area of Singapore, a district also known as Katong. Learn about the early Chinese immigrants to Singapore. The focus will be on food, but we will also talk about the types of jobs they had, how they lived and who they married. It was through the marriage of Chinese immigrants to Malay ladies that the distinctive Peranakan culture was born.
- Enjoy selecting Singapore’s favourite foods with Chinese and Peranakan heritage, including Kaya Toast or Curry Puff and Kopi, Bak Chang, Kuehs and Laksa.
- Travel by public bus to the Old Airport Road Hawker Centre, a firm favourite amongst Singaporeans because it is home to so many ‘hawker legends’. It is here where you will try one or two distinctly Singaporean dishes from a choice of Hokkien Mee, Rojak, Popiah and Carrot Cake.
- The next stop is the district of Kampong Glam, a short 10-minute bus ride away. Kampong Glam is the center of the Malay community in Singapore and is where the stunning Sultan’s Mosque is located. The Singapore tour guide will discuss the history of the district, the Sultan’s role in the founding of Modern Singapore. Try the most popular local foods from the Malay, Arabic and Indonesian communities. Teh Tarrik, Beef Rendang and Murtabak are options on our foodie menu.
- The fourth and final stop on our food tour of Singapore is Little India. Discover why the Indian community chose to settle in this district and learn how it developed over time. Try a popular savoury Indian dish called Dosa and finish the tour with some Indian sweets and/or Masala Milk.
