Discover Singapore’s soul in Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam. As an ex-chef and creator of the Busy Daddy Cooks YouTube channel, I take you beyond menus to secret stalls only insiders know. Enjoy 12+ tastings, from smoky 'wok hei' to heritage spices. We are so local, we named ourselves twice!

I’ll share 'wow' stories of how humble snacks became Michelin icons. With just 8 people, we keep it personal—no cookie-cutter routes. Every tour is crafted from lived experience to show you the city from the inside out. This is a flavor-first journey through the magic that makes our city unforgettable.
