Impressive Indonesia food - nasi padang! I didn't expect to get this unique quality in SG they are different taste from the normal malay style nasi padang. They have 8 types of different curry sauces & all taste differently! & many more dishes apart from nasi padang! Alot of their stuff are from Indonesia. Worth trying out you won't be disappointed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Chinatown food tour. We tried so many foods we had never tried before. We also had a tour of Chinatown, the Hawker Centers and the wet market. We also learned so much about the history of Chinatown. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour led by Rene, a Singaporean passionate about his City . Boy was I the ' Lucky one . I had a most informative and enjoyable tour of the Chinatown Hawker Centre and Marketplace and ' eateries ' and learned lots of local tips which would help me over my stay in Singapore. I say Lucky because I was the sole client for Rene on this particular Tour. Being the only client made my tour far more personal and I was able to gain greater insight into Singapore's History and Culture and Cuisines on a one to one basis. Rene was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Singapore but also of other countries cultures , because he is dealing with tourists on a daily basis.I cannot recommend this tour more highly. Food choice was varied and tasty. I had a light breakfast in my hotel the morning of my tour and travelled by MRT to the meeting point. I would give yourself a bit of leeway time wise to allow for finding the meeting point at Chinatown MRT as I exited the station from the wrong exit . Once found it is a logical meeting point so just give yourself extra time.Thank you Rene - you sold it ! Ill be back !
