Description:

Explore the culinary landscape of Singapore and taste your way through Chinatown on this fascinating walking tour. Enjoy typical Singaporean specialties, sip a refreshing sugar cane juice, and learn about the history and heritage of this diverse and vibrant neighborhood.

Meet your guide and head to Kreta Ayer, also known as Niu Che Shui, and make your way to Chinatown Complex, Singapore’s largest hawker center. With expert advice from your local guide, explore over 200 stalls, learn about the tradition of hawker centers, and sample the nation's signature dish, chicken rice, with a fresh poh piah spring roll. Try chwee kueh, a Chinese water rice cake, and cool down with a sweet glass of freshly squeezed sugar cane juice.

Once you've finished your food, it’s time to explore the diverse streets of greater Chinatown. Take a break for a refreshing shaved ice kacang with red beans and syrup, before venturing up Ann Siang Hill, home to quirky shops and assorted cafes. From there, head to Telok Ayer to visit the oldest Chinese temple in Singapore.

Round out your tasting tour with a traditional brewed teh tea or kopi Tarik coffee drink and a Singapore-style roti prata—these savory, fried pancakes can be filled with anything from cheese and onion to banana and chocolate. As you snack, take this opportunity to get some insider tips and culinary pointers for the rest of your stay.
