Overview

If you’ve ever googled the “Must-eats” of Singapore, you would already be familiar with the typical fare - chicken rice, carrot cake, roti prata, satay etc. Most tours bring you to try these touristy dishes, dishes you already knew about and could probably find yourself. What I am offering is something different from the usual tourist fare, something “Off the Menu”. If you are looking for a truly authentic culinary experience, you have come to the right place.

No one knows Singapore’s food better than a local himself. My tours are intimate, personal, and designed to make you feel like you're eating with a local friend, far beyond the typical tourist trail. You will learn about interesting dishes you have never heard of and taste at least 10 of the city’s best hidden gems. We will also make a few stops at interesting attractions such as Singapore’s own army market which will give you an insight into our local culture and history.

We had a great time with our guide, Chi an, Who was very engaging and informative about the places and foods that we ate at. We went through the areas of Singapore that i have never visited, which made it very special. . At the end Chi An texted us the places that we ate at. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend it.

Chi an was a fabulous tour guide through the less touristy food centres in Singapore. He was an absolute delight to be with. He looked after us very well and was so respectful, polite and knowledgeable about Singaporean food and culture. We highly recommend Chi an to anyone wanting to experience a fabulous eating tour through this diverse city.

I cannot recommend this food tour enough! Chi An gave us the best time, it was the perfect introduction to Singaporean food and city knowledge. We visited a multitude of different eateries across Kampong Glam and Little India, it didn't feel rushed or we was visiting the usual tourist haunts. Chi An came across as a personal friend and really made the experience special for us. Thankyou so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Chi An. We made six separate stops and tried about 15 or 16 different food and beverage items. Chi An ensured that we tried a combination of typical Singaporean items as well as some more exotic dishes. We also appreciated Chi An for revising his itinerary to accommodate my wife who is a vegetarian. During our food stops, we had plenty of time to talk not only about the food, but also about the daily life of Singaporeans. Overall, the tour was fun and informative. We highly recommend it.

This was the first food tour we ever did and it was all that it promised. The foods that we had were quite unique and tasty. We tasted a variety of things you would never think of getting in Singapore, since we didn’t even know they existed. The food ranges from proper dinner food to desserts to biscuits. Everyone gets their fair share of what they like. The tour itself is very well organized. The meeting point is clear. We got contacted beforehand, got every necessary information and were asked if we had any dietary restrictions. Chi An is very passionate about his tour and the food Singapore has to offer. The tour gets adjusted to your likings and food allergies if you have any. We had an extremely relaxing afternoon and nothing felt rushed or hasty. We tried some food, talked about it and everything else that was on our minds and then we went on to the next location. It was a good mix of sitting and eating and walking or bus rides. We highly recommend this tour if you like good foods in even better company.
