Our food tours take you away from tourist traps and into our favourite local food spots. We have been running these tours since 2015 and have built up strong relationships with our vendors. We get guests closer to the action and tell the stories of the people behind the dishes as well as the dishes themselves.
We believe that a food tour should connect you to the local area so you not only enjoy new flavours but learn about the culture and history of the area and the people that make it tick.
Each of our food stops have been selected for their fantastic food as well as their importance to Singapore's food story. We only visit locally run businesses and always support our local Singapore food heros.

Absolutely brilliant late afternoon/ early evening walking around Katong with Linda.
Learned so much about the history of Singapore as well as the neighbourhood. The different dishes we tried were all thoughtfully chosen and carefully narrated. The side visits to see traditional shop houses and the Hindu temple were also a real treat. If you want to see a different side of Singapore with a great guide - book this tour!

Really comprehensive tour covering the history, food and culture of Singapore. So many tasty dishes and lots of tips for things to try for rest of our stay. Would recommend doing this early in your trip to have time to try everything out and visit all the places suggested. The curry puffs were my personal favourites 😍

We were fortunate to be guided by Shabnam for the tour. She is a Katong local and her knowledge of the history of the Peranakan food and people is incredible. We were treated to a feast of great food and fascinating history. Shabnam pointed out the Peranakan heritage in the buildings we visited and explained how the different variations of food in Singapore came to be.

My husband and I did the Sunset Street Eats of Katong. We have been to Singapore many times but had never done a food tour, but decided to do one to get to know a local area like Katong which is out of the typical tourist zone. Our guide Kathy was excellent - very knowledgeable about the history of the area having being born and grown up in the area. The food was amazing - as it is everywhere in Singapore - from the best chicken rice we have had, to the roti and laksa.
The Hindu Temple was unfortunately closed but it was really wonderful to just walk around a local area like Katong to see the houses etc. Visiting the Peranakan house and museum at the end was excellent as well. At the end of the tour we stayed in Katong and had a drink at one of the many lovely bars and then finished off with an ice-cream.
We would never have know what to see in Katong without having done the tour and will definitely come back to this area next time we visit Singapore. This was our first holiday overseas since 2019 due to COVID-19 and this food tour was a really wonderful part of the trip.

The tour was amazing. We are a family of 4 with children 10 & 11, the tour was engaging for all of us and our guide Shabnam made sure the children were made to feel part of the action. The tour was a great mix of history, culture and a lot of fun. Can not recommend this tour enough. The time flew by and Shabnam was an excellent host, this is her local area so her knowledge is broad ranging. 10/10

We were lucky to have Shabnam as our tour guide, she was very engaging and knowledgeable. It was a lovely 3.5hrs discovering katong, learning the little nuggets about katong heritage, peranakan culture, tasting the famous food (curry puff, bakwa, chicken rice, roti prata and nonya snacks), history of the area and streets. As a Singaporean, the food was not the highlight of the tour but the whole experience including visiting a Hindu temple and peranakan museum. I would highly recommend this tour

We've lived in Singapore for a few years, and after enjoying food tours across SE Asia, signed up for this one to get a different view on the place we now call home. We really enjoyed this view of the neighbourhood, trying all new restaurants (to us), and hearing the stories behind them. Our tour guide, Shabnam, was lovely and patient with our kids (ages 5 and 7) as they asked questions. At the end of our tour, the kids asked when we could do another one - I don't think there's a better endorsement than that!

This was a surprise present that my hubby bought and loved it. I loved the history and local information that Kathy brought. We are from the west and we never venture to the east and this was a great experience if you want to taste and experience local food.
The food was yummy and we were stuffed at the end of it!
Thoroughly recommend Singabites and Kathy!
