What Makes Our Private Singapore Food Tour Different?

“The satay man, usually Malay, would bring his skewers and peanut sauce to Chinese communities, just as the Chinese noodle man would appear in Indian-dominant enclaves,”
- Lily Kong, author of Singapore Hawker Centres: People, Places, Food

Discover the Origins of Singapore Street Food

Street hawkers, many of whom were immigrants themselves, cooked dishes from their homelands using local ingredients adapted to suit the multicultural tastes of the community, resulting in the birth of Singaporean cuisine. Today, hawker centres and kopitiams (coffee houses) are vibrant hubs where local food continues to thrive.  The Private Singapore Food Tour dives into Singapore's culture where you get to taste authentic local foods at family-run hawker stalls nestled in vibrant neighbourhoods.

“When it comes to culture, especially food culture, we’re a community for whom sharing and absorbing ideas are not just in our DNA, it is our strength,” - Khair Johari, Author, Food of Singapore Malays
