We are hunting local food. There are more than 30 types, and each has its unique flavor.
During the food hunt, we will penetrate to neighborhood, walk pass market and shop. Realize what fresh food, spices and things local like to buy and their daily activities. And also, the housing in Singapore.
This trip starts from local food, then local shop and lastly the local house. Along the journey, I show and tell, you enjoy food and get close to neighborhood.

“Excellent hunt in Singapore ”
Chua picked us up at the hotel and first we went to a hawker center in chinatown for a delicious breakfast. At the next steps we tried typical Indian and Malayan food. We learned a lot of the different cultures in Singapore and the urban planning of Singapore. That was really interesting. Also we visited some malls away from the tourist spots. Chua was very kind and careful. We can highly recommend him for a guided tour in Singapore. Thanks for a great day.

Hi Marcus and Matina, Andy and Beatie, It is my pleasure and also greatly appreciate the 5star excellent review. I'm delighted to know that you like the "Nanyang" style coffee and some local food. We also talked and got in touch with different type of shop, public housing and people lifestyle. This is wonderful to have you all together for the day tour. Have a great holiday!
