What To Expect
Chinatown
The experience starts off with an exploration of Chinatown where you will get to soak in the sights of the Chinatown neighbourhood. Stories will be shared of it's history capturing the struggles of early Chinese immigrants, their trials and tribulations of making ends meet in a rough neighbourhood filled with vices like opium, gambling, prostitution, and death. These buildings still stand today. Old images will be shown where you will see the quick transformation of Singapore's development from the past to the present day. We will also be visiting a hawker centre and get to sample locally popular Singapore Chinese street food cuisines, and at the same time experience the local way of life that has been around for the past decades.
Little India
In Little India, you will be brought around the area where the vibrancy of colour from street stalls selling fresh fruit & vegetables, flower garland markets, traditional clothing stores, and incense shops will charm your senses. It is due to these trades and other opportunities that had inspired the early Indian community to move from the original Little India near the old seafront, up here where water buffalos used to roam the swampy area. We will be visiting a hawker market here and get to sample a variety of Pakistani, North Indian & Indian Muslim street food cuisines, and experience the exciting vibrancy of the Indian community having their daily meals here.

Outstanding experience

5.00Gerry was a wonderful host. He was kind and accommodating and immediately made the effort to learn everyone’s name and build rapport. Great “mini-lectures” on Singapore history and culture. You get an insiders tour of some amazing food hawker centers, and the food was phenomenal. Gerry made sure that my daughter, who is vegetarian, was taken care of with good food options. We did this on our first day in Singapore and cannot think of a better way to get acquainted with the different neighborhoods and local food scene.
So much good food!

5.00Cannot miss this tour! This is an amazing experience led by Gerry who is a native Singaporean so proud of its history and its people. Gerry not only takes you to a quick history journey but also makes sure you are stuffed even before noon… he makes sure you try every signature dish of the country and tries to make you feel as the most important guest during the tour. 5 stars is not enough for him… best guide and tour I have ever had… give it a try, you will not regret if food and some history is what interests you.
Lots of tasty food
