Overview

Food and culture go hand in hand in Singapore, and there's a food tradition in particular that makes the city even more flavorful. Ready to try it?

Get a taste of the food scene that characterizes Singapore and it's known around the world. Try wonton noodles, sugar cane juice, and more in its original recipe - forget about adaptations, this is the real deal!

Your local guide is a food and culture expert and will show you spots in the city to enhance the cultural vibes. Go to Telok Ayer market, and Chinatown, and get to know more about where this food tradition comes from and how it relates to Singapore.
