    Cheyenne was great and provided lots of information about Singapore as well as sourced delicious food for us! She was friendly and even gave us advice on what to do for the rest of our trip. The food was all amazing and great to try some things that we wouldnt have ordered ourselves. She still managed to deliver an awesome experience despite Chinese New Years Eve with lots of stalls closed. Would definitely recommend!!

  • Amazing guide!

    Cheyenne was a wonderful guide to our small and friendly group! We enjoyed kaya toast, kopi, walked around Chinatown and learned some of its fascinating history; enjoyed a market tour and popiah followed by iced kachang at the central Chinatown Hawkers market, and finished in the Maxwell Centre Hawkers Market. A terrific morning and a comprehensive and delicious introduction to Singapore’s rich food history and culture! A must-do. And Let’s Go Tours very accommodating when I needed to switch to this tour!

    This Singapore Chinatown hawker food tasting tour was an absolute delight from start to finish. Our guide, Kyanta, had a wonderful personality - warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He brought the neighbourhood's rich history to life with fascinating stories that added so much depth to the experience. The variety of food we enjoyed was fantastic, from classic hawker favourites to unique local specialties. Every stop offered something new and delicious. This tour is the perfect blend of culture, history, and amazing flavours. A truly memorable experienced - five starts all the way!

    We spent a wonderful 3 hours touring Chinatown with Yap. He was very informative and answered any questions in the group. He contacted us ahead of the tour to confirm meeting place and time and after our trip sent us a list of all the dishes we had sampled along with all the photos he had taken. Highly recommend if you want to learn more about the history of Singapore and sample some traditional dishes.

    We spent a wonderful 3 hours touring China town with Weng. He was super informative and answered any questions we had. He contacted us ahead of the tour to confirm meeting place and time and after our trip sent us a list of all the dishes we had sampled along with all the photos he had taken. We got very lucky as no one else booked on and we therefore had a private tour. Thank you so much Weng highly recommend if you want to learn more about the history of Singapore and sample some traditional dishes

  • A Deeply Delicious and Insightful Journey Through Singapore’s Soul

    If you’re looking for more than just good food—if you want to taste Singapore’s history, politics, and heart—this Chinatown Hawker tour with Yong is an absolute must. From the very beginning, Yong welcomed us not just as guests, but as friends. What unfolded over the next few hours was far more than a food tour—it was a lovingly woven tapestry of Singapore’s culinary heritage, culture, and the story. We started with Nanyang coffee and kaya toast. Next came the cloud-like pandan chiffon cake, soft and fragrant with the flavors of Southeast Asia. As we explored Chinatown, we sampled savory-sweet bak kwa, perfectly crisp egg tarts, and rich, comforting chicken rice. Each dish came with stories of Singapore’s history and how hawker culture became a UNESCO-recognized treasure. We loved trying the whimsical butterfly fritter, the crispy, umami-packed oyster cake, and the refreshing crunch of popiah, hand-rolled with care. The carrot cake—both black and white versions—was a highlight, a savory dish that surprised and delighted. And the finale? A spicy, aromatic bowl of laksa that brought everything together in one slurp. This tour isn’t just about food, though the food is truly phenomenal. It’s about the soul of Singapore: its complexity, its resilience, its pride. Thank you, Yong, for feeding our stomachs and our minds. This tour will stay with us long after the last bite. — Shawn & Manny
