I am a true-bred and born Singaporean. This magnificent multi-racial city-state where I grew up is famous for many things, even though it lacked natural resources. We are very proud of our Changi airport which has recently been named the Best Airport in the world, yet again. We are famous for food like Hainanese Chicken rice, Chillie Crab, Satay, Laksa, Fried and soup prawn noodles, and many others. True blue Singaporean like me simply love eating. We will travel to the 4 corners of our island in search of delicious and affordable food. Arising from the many ethnic groups living here, we also find ethnic-based areas like Chinatown, Little India, Geylang Serai, Little Myanmar, and Little Thailand (which unfortunately was recently closed down due to the mall being sold) which are vibrant tourist attractions. These also made walking tours very interesting as one can experience the different cultures, food, and retail shops with unique architecture and facades. Other world-class attractions here include our Mandai Zoo, Bird Park, Botanical Gardens, and Gardens By The Bay. Our island may be small but we work hard to make tourists feel welcome and enjoy their stay here to the fullest. Everything runs efficiently here and most of us are at least bi-lingual with English as our main language (I am at ease using English and Mandarin) in addition to our local dialects.

She took the time to personalise our tour. We went to stalls that accommodated our food wishes.

This was a terrific experience with our guide, Robyn. She was communicative, flexible, and accommodated our food preferences with aplomb. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to spend time with. With. We would definitely recommend this company and we would certainly recommend Robyn as a tour guide.

Robyn was very knowledgeable and we had such a fantastic time! She was able to accommodate our dietary preferences while still giving us an amazing day out, experiencing the hawker centres. She was even lovely enough to give us further recommendations of restaurants and attractions. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore this amazing culinary scene, especially for the first time!

My food tour with Robyn was fantastic! She was early and waiting for me at our meeting point. She sent me a WhatsApp message with her picture so I knew who she was when I arrived. She asked if I would be willing to try some hawker centers outside of the more popular areas. let her know that I am an adventurous eater and that I always prefer to visit places visited by locals and off the beaten path. We then visited the Chinatown Hawker Centre and enjoyed some chicken rice from the Chinatown Chicken Rice Stall. Robyn orders the roasted and steamed chicken options along with some blanched greens and chili sauce. (Delicious). Many of the stalls were closed due to Chinese New Year, but the hawker Centre was still crowded and buzzing. We hopped on the subway to go to a housing estate hawker center in the suburb of Geylang Bahru. We enjoyed some dishes from Robyn’s favorite stalls including pork satay (peanut sauce was amazing!) and BBQ from the Soon Lee Heng Satay stand where they grill over an open flame. We also enjoyed BBQ Stingray (a first for me) from Ole Sambal Spice- the texture was similar to skate and the Sambal was flavorful and spicy. We finished with a coconut ice dessert with jellies and red beans. It reminded me of my childhood visits to Singapore. The vibe at the hawker center was so chill and we had a nice breeze on a very hot and sticky day. I would highly recommend a food tour with Robyn. She was friendly and knowledgeable!
