Taste Singapore’s hawker culture through Chinatown, Maxwell Food Centre, murals, temples, and immigrant stories on a three-hour walking tour.

“We can't recommend this tour highly enough and a must for foodies. Ronnie was a superb guide with the right balance of humour, deep knowledge and passion throughout the tour. He took us to a range of food stalls that we would never have known about, ordered amazing foods and allocated just the right amount of time at each stop. One of the highlights was the Hainanese Chicken Rice - Anthony Bourdain was right, you don't need the chicken! We certainly didn't need lunch after this tour. Ronnie was also able to recommend a restaurant for dinner where they served chilli crab and it was gold star.”
