What Our Travelers Say
The Michelin & Local Hawker Food Tour was more than food, it was culture, history, and passion. Our guide’s enthusiasm gave us confidence to explore hawker centers on our own later. Highlights included dining at Hawker Chan’s restaurant and original stall. By the end we’d sampled so much and felt completely satisfied. A must-do for anyone visiting Singapore.
