I really enjoyed the tour. It was very informative of the early people of singapore. I also enjoyed the food tasting.. you have a chance to learn how to make it.

We had a bad start to this tour as the scheduled pick-up from our hotel was late arriving, and there was chaos and confusion because 'the office had made a mistake.' We were therefore late starting the tour and it became rather rushed which was a shame as it was very interesting and we would have liked more time in the Peranakan Museum.
We also visited the Spice Garden, and a lovely Peranakan lady called Doris who demonstrated the preparation of a typical
food and then we were able to try some of the foods. We enjoyed the tour very much in spite of the inauspicious start.
I am very pleased with the tour. Spice garden was interesting, got some taste of the spice road trade. Pranacan butique was rustic and nice, I tried traditional Pranacan dress. Bead work and embroidary was lovingly done and really colorful. I stayed after the rest of the group set back to the hotel and I bought a hand-painted cotton sarong. They tailored the fabric into wrap skirt on the spot.

There wasn't much food tasting on this tour, which was the bit I was most looking forward to - Last 30 minutes of it was the food tasting. We did have a very knowledgeable and exciting guide that explained some very interesting facts about the Peranakan culture and guided us through the amazing Peranakan Museum.
