About this experience

Skip the guesswork and eat Chinatown the way locals do. Beyond Michelin is a small-group Singapore food tour that takes you past the famous food names and into the hawker centres, heritage streets and hidden corners where everyday Singapore flavours come alive.

Follow your licensed local guide through the sights, smells and stories of Chinatown while tasting 8 local favourites. Come hungry for a generous mix that may include Hainanese chicken rice, local kopi, popiah, fried carrot cake, curry puff, egg tart, pandan cake and other traditional snacks.

More than a tasting route, this is a relaxed, story-filled Chinatown hawker food tour for curious travellers who want to understand what they are eating, order with confidence, and experience Singapore’s hawker culture with a local by their side.
