What You Will Do
We will not be taking you down "food street" or to any of the tourist places that Chinatown has a lot of. At Singabites we believe that the best way to explore an area like Chinatown is by trying local food, made by local vendors for locals to enjoy.
On this tour we'll explore the real Chinatown and see how the different Chinese communities have made Singapore their home. We'll see the old opium dens and hear the stories of how life was for the workers who came here from China in the 19th century.
We'll try dishes from Teochew, Cantonese, Hainanese and Hokkien hawkers. We'll get a chance to learn about hawker life and to get some tricks and tips on how to order the right thing. We'll explore a wet market and learn about the unique way that people live in this part of Singapore.
Our guides have mapped out their favourite hawkers and vendors that will tell you the real story of this area.

Thian Hock Keng Temple
30 minutes
The meeting point of the tour is a stunning historical Chinese temple. This is the oldest temple for the Hokkien population of Singapore. The road that the temple is on was once the shoreline of Singapore. The temple itself worships the goddess Mazu who is a sea goddess. We will take a quick look inside the temple and see how old and new are sat right next to each other in typical Singapore style. This is a food tour so we will also get the chance to try a unique snack in the grounds of the temple itself. A great experience to learn about the Hokkien community in Singapore and to see their way of life.
