Field reportEvery local kopitiam in Singapore you need to know
These old-school coffee houses have been a main staple of Singaporean culture for years. But not all are made equal.
Welcome to the new home of A Chef's Tour. Bigger, bolder and tastier than ever.
Our Philosophy
The best food isn’t always found in guidebooks. It’s in the family kitchens, market stalls and back alleys where only locals know. We’ve spent years finding those places and the people behind them.
Our tours are led by chefs, home cooks and food-obsessed locals — the people who know their city's food better than anyone else.
We keep groups to a maximum of eight guests. That means real seats at the counter, real time with the people cooking, and no rushing through.
You'll eat where locals actually eat — the neighbourhood markets, family kitchens and street stalls the guidebooks never make it to.
