Experience Details

This is ground zero for deliriously good street feasting, though not all is made equal. It pays to know the culinary ropes.


Fear not, you've come to the right place. Prepare for your taste buds to be tickled across 14+ tastings from Michelin rated eateries to grandmother’s generational recipes which have been feeding hungry locals for decades. These are the food heroes.


Tuck into steamy bowls of lala noodles and legendary laksas, fluffy baos and baked char siu pows, coffee cham and peanut muah chee from Madam Tang, egg tart telurs and hand-wrapped popiahs, buttery rice and plenty of spice. Get set for a wild culinary ride.
