The tour was amazing!! All the dishes were explained to us by our great tour guide, Kent. Instead of the tour being completely focused on the food, Kent told us a lot about Singaporean history. I really enjoyed learning about Singapore’s history and future development. There were many interesting and delicious foods were able to try. In addition to that, Kent gave us some recommendations for what to do in other parts of the city. It was a great experience!

Fantastic Food Tour Through Chinatown Sampling All of Singapore’s Food Cultures

We had a fantastic food tour with Winston through Chinatown. Our family sampled a wide variety of Chinese, Malaysian, and Indian dishes and drinks. He was very knowledgeable about Singapore, being born and raised here, and provided great commentary throughout the tour, both about the history of Singapore and its food and culture. Total tour time was about 3.5 hours and was a great balance of price, length, amount of food, and number of stops. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Chinatown and sample the food cultures of Singapore.
Great tour

Went with my husband on the Singapore food tour in December 2025 and had a great experience. Our tour guide, Kent, was knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to be around. this tour ant only about food, but was also a great way to learn a little bit more about Singapore and it’s history. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning about Singapore and trying local food.
More than a food tour. A brilliant introduction to Singapore.

This was an excellent food tour and one of the highlights of my time in Singapore. It struck the perfect balance between food, history and understanding how the city actually works. You don’t just eat well. You learn how Singapore came to be what it is today, how its communities shaped it, and why the food matters. Come with an empty stomach and genuine curiosity. You’ll need both. Kent was a fantastic guide. Attentive, thoughtful and very knowledgeable, with a real ability to pace things well whilst keeping it interesting. He went beyond the tour itself, sharing practical tips and local insight that were genuinely useful for the rest of my journey. If you want more than a surface level experience and would like to understand Singapore through its food and people, I couldn’t recommend this more highly.
A great way to see Singapore.
