What you’ll do
You'll spend a few hours with one of our Singapore hosts perusing some of the city's most famous food courts - and by perusing, we really mean eating your way around.
Singapore is a city that runs on hawker food, so it's only right you taste the delicious dishes that are the staples of the city's food culture while you're in town.
You'll learn all about the city's culinary heritage and the Indian, Chinese and Malay influences that come together in a delicious fusion of smells, tastes, and colors at these local hawker centers.
A practical approach is key to learning, so get ready to do a lot of eating! You'll visit a couple of the city's oldest and most authentic hawker centers like Maxwell Road, Old Airport Road, and Lau Pa Sat, tasting delicious dishes like laksa, satay, Hainanese chicken, and black pepper crab.
Beyond treating your taste buds and tummy, we're all about 'behind the scenes' here, so your host will also take you to a local wet market, where you can see locals haggling over fresh produce and rare herbs. Prepare for a serious food coma.
