Description
The early Chinese have visited Singapore since the 12th century and the Chinese community accounts for the majority of the population. Since then, there have been 3 waves of this migration from China. The Chinatown of Singapore, sometimes known as "Bullock Cart Water", was described in the 1823 Singapore Town Plan as "Chinese Town". This neighborhood has evolved with the Chinese communities and kept up with the lifestyles of the Chinese diaspora in Singapore.
Let's eat our way through the Chinatown district to discover how eating and cuisine is central to Singaporeans' lifestyle. Let me guide you through the process of sourcing, selecting and preparation of food while explaining the associated beliefs and meanings behind the dishes. In addition, we will learn about the land use planning process and of socialized housing programmes.
This is not a private tour.
