Singapore: Bugis & Kampong Glam Walking Tour with Snacks Faith, Flavours & Art, From Waterloo Street to Haji Lane

Taste 12 local dishes, explore vivid temples, stroll from Waterloo Street to artsy Haji Lane, and end with Middle Eastern snacks, a storytelling walk that immerses you in real Singapore local life.
Join a small group of six for a flavorful, art-filled walk through Singapore’s cultural heart, where every snack has a story and every street corner hides a piece of living heritage.

Your experience begins on Waterloo Street, a place that feels like stepping into a moving canvas. Incense swirls through the air, bells ring from two stunning temples standing side by side, and the colors of prayer offerings line the walkway. The Buddhist Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple and the Hindu Sri Krishnan Temple aren’t just landmarks, they’re a living story of harmony, painted in stone, incense, and devotion.

The street around them is part of the artwork too. Aging HDB flats (Singapore famous public housing), old shophouses, and everyday life form the background: laundry hanging like accidental art installations, aunties trading gossip, fortune tellers sketching futures with their palms, and traditional cobblers working quietly, one of Singapore’s last disappearing trades.

Your first feast takes place at Albert Centre Market & Food Centre, where breakfast is an gallery of local culture. Here, you’ll try 12 iconic dishes, each introduced through stories of how migrants, traditions, and generations shaped them. As you taste, your guide brings to life the people behind the stalls, the origins of each recipe, and how these humble dishes became part of Singapore’s identity.

Next, wander into Bugis Street, a chaotic, colorful maze that feels like a pop-art explosion, neon signs, bargain stalls, and local snacks. Every turn reveals another burst of color, sound, and scent.

From here, the golden dome of Sultan Mosque leads you into Kampong Glam, a district where culture, creativity, and cuisine blend seamlessly. The mosque’s architecture and history are visual stories on their own, framed by rows of shophouses filled with textiles, spices, and old crafts.

Just around the corner, Haji Lane becomes your open-air art gallery. Murals climb the walls, indie boutiques spill onto the narrow street, and cafés hum with creativity. Your guide will lead you into little secret lanes, places most visitors never find, each one hiding its own piece of street art or quiet charm.

You’ll close the walk with Middle Eastern snacks and sweets that tie into the trading history of the area, along with a comforting cup of teh tarik or local coffee.

This tour is more than a walk, it’s a blend of storytelling, food, art, and culture, served course by course as you explore the textures and flavors that make Singapore truly unique.
