Your private food experience
Stories, tastings and time to explore.
This experience is reserved exclusively for you and your group. There is time to ask questions, engage with the stories and enjoy the tastings without being combined with unfamiliar travellers.
The route is planned to introduce different aspects of Singapore's multicultural food heritage. Exact dishes, stalls and route order may change according to opening hours, availability and dietary requirements.
What might you taste?
A changing selection of Singapore flavours.
Depending on the route and availability, tastings may include dishes such as laksa, chicken rice, appam, roti prata or putu piring.
The exact selection may change according to stall opening hours, availability and dietary requirements. Individual dishes are examples and are not guaranteed.
A glimpse of the experience
From hawker craft to shared tastings.
Before your tour
Let Adam know what you need.
Vegetarian, vegan, halal, no-pork and many allergy-related requirements can usually be accommodated when communicated in advance. The route and tastings may be adjusted accordingly.
Some hawker stalls use shared preparation areas, so a completely allergen-free environment cannot be guaranteed. Guests with severe allergies should contact Adam before booking so the tour's suitability can be assessed.
