Everyday Street Art + Street Food Walk
#1 Airbnb Experience in Singapore with 300+ five star reviews!!! In this trail, we will discover the diversity of food of the main ethnic groups in Singapore. And while any foodie tour can take you on a hawker trail, we’ll let you in on the secrets behind the best stalls. The group size is intentionally kept intimate (no more than 6) as our food stops are small businesses specially handpicked to reflect artisanal techniques - not the ones typically visited by commercial tours. I don't do this everyday as well as I respect the market and do not want to turn it into a tourist trap. More than tasting, you will also get a full palate education on the herbs & spices that are used in the traditional culinary kitchens of this region. In between eating stops, we take a breath to explore some terrific street art and walk through atmospheric alleys. This is the ultimate feast for the stomach and eyes! Notes : - Vegetarian-friendly.Just let me know in advance! - Fully customizable (eg. gluten free, vegan, stroller/wheelchair friendly) private tours in the afternoon, evenings or any time you want. Great for corporates and teambuilding! - Love the environment! I do not use plastic and minimise the waste in this experience. Hollywood was here! Experience what Jada Smith and family ate during their Singapore visit!
Learn to play MAHJONG in a local home
We will teach you the basics of Mahjong (the game seen on Crazy Rich Asians!), and you will then learn by experiencing and playing on your own, with guidance. Do not worry if you do not know how to read Chinese characters, the mahjong tiles are very pictorial and a guide sheet will be provided for you to use as reference in identifying the tiles. You will also get to recognise some Chinese characters (especially the numbers) along the way! At the end of the session, you will understand the scene from Crazy Rich Asians like a pro. IMPORTANT! A minimum of 2 sign ups per session is required. If there are insufficient sign ups, you will be notified 1-2 days in advance for alternative arrangements. This is not a gambling event, no money is involved except for the fees paid. If you are really keen and there is no availability at the moment, write in to me and we can see how we can make it happen! Private or corporate booking at your location available too.

Stitch Your Own Shoes (Espadrilles)
Within a few hours, you will be able to construct your own pair of shoes (espadrilles in this case) by picking from a selection of leather in the studio (if you have your own material or would like to go the non-leather route, I will be happy to suggest alternative materials). From there, you can decide on a style you would like to pick then cut and stitch your own pair of shoes onto the soles provided (made out of jute and rubber (so it will be slip free). The types of style you get to make are the mule, sandal or slip-on as shown in the images*. I have collected leather from various sources, mostly reclaimed from different projects to offcuts from manufacturers. While stitching your shoes, we can either chat or indulge in the refreshments provided. The timing of the experience is just indicative, you can stay as along as you need to finish your shoes and also, the start time is flexible *Note: If there are other styles of shoes you would like to make like the full shoe or sneaker style, there will be additional charges as it requires more time to create the item. Other things to note After booking, send me your shoe size (EU or UK). You can send me your foot measurements as well if you are unsure of the sizes.
