Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Katong, home of the Peranakans.

Singaporean cuisine is diverse and with heavy influences from several ethnic groups, as a result of its history as a seaport with a large immigrant population.

Peranakans are descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Singapore and inter-marrying with local Malays. The Peranakan (or Nonya) cuisine is a blend of Chinese ingredients with spices and cooking techniques of the Malays, giving it a unique aroma, texture and taste. Katong Laksa and Nonya Bak Zhang are two quintessential Paranakan dishes.

In Katong, you will also find a dizzying array of mouth-watering local hawker favourites, from Chicken Rice to Popiah, Curry Puffs, Roti Prata, Teochew Kueh and many many more. Your culinary choices are endless.
