The visits will delight your palate with mouth-watering famous local delicacies. Proceed to Little India where you get to savour some samples of the world-famous tongue-tingling Indian cuisine. Then hop aboard a bus and travel to the local Malay quarter, Kampong Glam. Here, you will sip a cup of rich, frothy Teh Tarik as you learn about the history of this Muslim neighbourhood turned hipster paradise in the last few decades. Lastly, depart to Chinatown by MTR to satisfy your sweet tooth with a refreshing surprise at the award-winning Mei Heong Yuen Dessert Bar in Chinatown. With the harmonious coexistence of Singaporeans hailing from various origins, the melding of this tiny country’s rich array of cuisines positions her on the bleeding edge of the culinary scene.
