Here’s how you’ll explore Singapore with me. We snack, deep dive into history, snack, delve into heritage, snack, plunge into ethnic traditions and surface to contemporary sensibilities, snack, let astonishing architecture sweep us off our feet, snack, make friends with characters as colorful as our colonial shophouses and local kuehs, snack, learn local colloquialisms in Singlish jargon and gestures, snack. Have a beer. Have three beers. Have an enchantingly convivial wokful of a full walk.

By the end we would have delighted in a spectrum of ravishing snacks to complete a food cycle in the day (and night) of a Singaporean, and you’ll understand why by way of greeting, we ask, “Have you eaten?” You’ll learn plenty between history and our modern narrative to find your favorite place on our arc. Ask me anything about life in Singapore — I won’t be coy ;).

I was born and raised in the East of Singapore — the Best Coast — home to the one-two palatially pastel and palatable punch of Joo Chiat, the country’s first and only heritage town, and Katong, cradle of the country’s best eating. Rooted in Peranakan (Straits Chinese) eccentricity and today a cosmopolitan cornucopia of identities, this is why my Katong-Joo Chiat foodabout is my signature adventure. Save room for unexpected encounters!

I bring the same exuberance to downtown and other vibrant neighborhoods, Haw Par Villa — the best theme park in Singapore, and our gorgeously lush trove of nature parks. Just say where.
