We joined this tour because another tour we wanted was not available. We were very pleasantly surprised with this tour and the tour guide - Kenneth; who speaks English and Malay fluently and he shared the history, cultures, food heritage and other insights (e.g. architecture) that we will not gain or know if we did not do this tour. 3 hours of great insights - on culture, why, how and what of food. We had a Fun time making popiah and eating them made us want to stay on abit longer... We highly recommend this tour and very thankful to have Kenneth as our guide.

Good tour with lots of knowledge and information about Geylang Serai and Joo Chiat. Nice local food to sample. Went behind the scenes to see the making of curry puffs and popiah skin.
