What To Expect
Chinatown
Start your tour by walking along the "five foot walkways" of the shophouses, a common element of Singapore's architecture before World War II. These sheltered paths are characteristic of these quirky buildings. Stop at a nearby coffee shop and try some of the shop's best blends of coffee and crispy toast, both local favorites for decades. Head onward toward a traditional wet market. Peruse bustling market stalls brimming with fresh vegetables, seafood, and even live frogs.
Little India
Hop on-board the public train network bound for your next stop: Little India. Disembark your train and walk a short distance to reach rows of shops selling produce, spices, and flower gardens in a riot of vibrant colors and scents. Make your way through the frenzy to arrive at the shop of a renaissance-man-cum-shop owner who is famous for making flower garlands as well as tailoring Indian saris and suits. Chat with him about his trade and learn a bit about business in this bustling corner of the city.
