Fabulous Singapore Street Food Experience

5.00This is one of the best food tours that we have done around the world. Kim was very engaging, knowledgeable and took time to share historical anecdotes and food preparation insights. The tour was centred in Chinatown for approximately three hours. Fifteen dishes and local beverages were sampled from five to six venues in the area, as well as within two Hawker centres. Kim's selection of food was wide and varied, featuring regional specialities and delicacies that we would not have otherwise been tempted to try. The Hawker Chan Michelin Star chicken and chicken rice dish was a highlight, along with curry spring rolls, sugar cane juice, oyster cake and pandam cake. Exceptional value foodie tour. A must-do if you are interested in local Singaporean food.
Grayson Made Our Food Tour a 10/10

5.00Grayson was an outstanding tour guide! From the very first stop he was informative, kind, and tailored the experience to our preferences. You could tell he knew his way around the markets and the vendors. He explained each dish we tasted, giving us the ingredients and demonstrating not only how they were prepared but the history and the way each dish fit into the culture. We learned a lot about the history of Singapore beyond their food. My wife and I do food tours wherever we go in the world. We highly recommend Grayson and this particular food tour. It was our first time in Singapore and Grayson made it most memorable.

2.00I would give full marks to this tour for the atmosphere, history and the guide. Grace was very good, knew her stuff and kept us engaged. But the first thing about a FOODIE tour is the food.. it was terrible especially at the Hawker's centre we were taken to. The food there was greasy (tasted of reused oil), badly cooked and totally underwhelming. That is funny because, I have never had a disappointing meal in all my years of travelling to Singapore for work. It has some incredible food across cuisines and budgets. So it was disconcerting to experience bad food on a holiday and that too on a culinary tour. The one good thing we ate was the Chendol. My two bits to the organisers - You really must rethink where you take people to eat.
A Delicious Journey Through Singapore’s Food Culture

5.00It was absolutely worth it! The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and easy to follow. Each dish told a story about Singapore’s rich culture, and the food was truly delicious, from local classics to hidden gems I wouldn’t have found on my own. It felt like a perfect mix of learning, eating, and exploring. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food and wants to experience the real taste of Singapore.
Discova food and walking tour a must do.

5.00I love Singaporean food with very impressive flavour of roaster chicken, chicken rice and ice cream.... Besides, walking through Singapore street is also a beautiful experience where you can see the colourful nightlife and the ancient houses. That is one of special experience in my life
