5.00We had an amazing time with this experience! The was so much more than a food tour. Our guide weaved in both her own family’s history as well as Singapore’s history as it related to the food and culture of the country. The food itself was phenomenal! It was incredible to try food from all around the world in the various hawker stalls. Some were even on the Michelin guide. We went to Hong Lim center, followed by places that serves Pandan cake and pineapple tart, then Maxwell center, and finally Chinatown center. You won’t leave hungry! My wife is a vegetarian and she was able to find some options as well. Definitely a great experience while you are in Singapore!
A great tour
