    I had an incredible experience on the Peranakan food trip, and our guide Peter made it truly unforgettable! His engaging commentary and deep knowledge brought the rich culture and history of the Peranakan community to life. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic, flavorful, and a perfect showcase of Peranakan cuisine. Beyond the tasty dishes, the trip was an eye-opening cultural journey that offered a deeper appreciation of this unique heritage. I highly recommend this trip to everyone, including locals. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy amazing food while learning about the vibrant Peranakan culture. Thank you, Peter, for making this such a memorable experience!

    End of March I had a few days on my own in Singapore and I’m so delighted to have done the East Coast Katong and Joo Chiat Peranakan Walking Tour with the lovely Kristine C of Grab Experience. She was very informative, articulating the rich history of the area and receptive to enquiries. The tour was well pace / I never felt rushed but I saw a lot. Even though a couple of establishments were closed on the Monday I got to experience a lot of fun things. I particularly enjoyed the foodie stops - firstly runny egg and kaya toast, the famous Katong Laksa (she read the need for more tissues) and finishing off with Lee Kwan Yew’s favourite take out with a so refreshing bowl of chendol. There was kueh along the way which I kept for another time - too full! We visited the Peranakan Mansion so elaborate and colours and decoratives to dive into. Stunning. Kristine C also gave me details of places to visit in my own time including the famous Mohan’s crispy pratha and curry on Joo Chiat Rd for breakfast. She also helped me with directions of my future endeavours round Singapore and most importantly took great instagrammable photos! A thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended tour!!!
