We had Sandy Oh and she was lovely. Definitely bring your appetite as at first it might seem like small portions but it adds up and you definitely want to try it all. Small group helps with the vibe and do wear comfy shoes as you will be walking through these cute alleys and lanes. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are short on time.

Clear communications from team, Grace our tour guide explained what we were eating and its genesis. It felt like having a friend show us around to all her favorite joints. The Indian food inparticular was outstanding.

Sandy was very accommodating to our needs and food preferences. I enjoyed the Malay sweet rice desserts, the fresh tropical fruit samplings and the shaved ice desserts the most.
