From traditional Singaporean street food to modern interpretations of classic hawker dishes, we’ll be sampling a variety of delicious dishes and drinks as we explore the neighborhood.

As you chow down on some of the ugliest eats the neighborhood has to offer, we’ll take you on a wild ride through the fascinating history of this bustling district. From the notorious gangs that once ruled the streets, to the cabarets and clubs that kept the party going all night long, Jalan Besar has a past (and present) as colorful as the food on your plate.

But it’s not all gangsters and glamour – this neighborhood has also been home to some of Singapore’s biggest sporting events and historic landmarks. So come hungry, because we’re about to feast on some delicious history (and maybe a few spicy samosas).

See you on the tour!

What is the “Ugly Food” Tour?
In a city obsessed with Instagram-perfect cafes, we go the other way. This Jalan Besar food tour celebrates “Ugly Food”—traditional dishes that prioritize flavor over presentation. Think sloppy curry rice, dark herbal soups, and braised meats that look messy but taste like history. This is not a food waste tour; this is a soul food tour.

Are you bored of the same old fancy restaurants and food tours? Tired of having travelled many countries and not finding the “real” food around? Our  Ugly Food Tour Series brings you an unapologetic and less-traveled perspective of Singapore’s diverse culinary scene. We focus on the micro stories that we find in our everyday lives, and how these make for more interesting experiences than the Michelin stars and the typical touristy highlights.

Kueh is very much a part of common SouthEast Asian “culture vocabulary”. Most of us would have memories munching on the pretty and delicious treats. Some of us would have seen them offered up for prayers and rituals during festivals. The lucky few amongst us would remember sitting around a table with family members hand-shaping the intricate and delicate shapes together.

In this experience, we will introduce you to some of our favourite kuehs, and show you the evolution of these tasty treats over the years. We will also attempt the unusual pairing of kuehs with spirits from one of the independent bottlers in Singapore.

This experience is a jointly brought to you by Indie Singapore, Furama City Centre and Interco-MLE.

Most tours just show you the statues. On the Indie Singapore River Free Walking Tour, we explain the struggle. This is the definitive “Singapore 101” experience.

We start at the Civic District, the colonial heart of the city, and trace the river that birthed a nation. You will walk the path of the coolies, the merchants, and the colonizers who built modern Singapore.

Our go-to tour if you want our quick guide to Singapore’s history.

This is the walk where we will show you how Singapore changed from a fishing village to a colonial outpost to the shiny metropolis it is today. We will touch on the important events that shaped Singapore, and along the way you will see some of our most important monuments and some of the futuristic skyscrapers. We will try to share a bit more about where we go from here as well.
