After a Singapore sightseeing tour, you may very well want to visit another holiday destination in Asia; but you don't know where to go? ROL Cruise recently published an article on 'Underrated Places in Asia’ one of them being a Hello! Tours destination, Yokohama, with less than an hours drive from Tokyo; we really are spoilt with choice. Never a dull moment in Asia
Hello! Singapore Tours welcomes the beautiful Yokohama
Now that we have recovered from the Chinese New Year food coma, we can get ready to dig into some other local delights on Singapore food tours! If you are a fan of seafood and noodles, you MUST try Hokkien Mee on a Singapore food tour! This lip-smacking noodle dish has juicy prawns, squid, pork belly strips and eggs all mixed with bee hoon (Vermicelli) but it is the combination that makes everything taste extra good. It is served with sambal chilli and a squeeze of lime juice for that added zing. When you get ready for your Singapore city tour, ask your guide to take you to the best place for Hokkien Mee. You sure will be in for a treat!
A delicious piece of Singapore food tourism - Hokkien Mee!

With Chinese New Year in full bloom, you might have come across many different foods on your Singapore city tour. One of these is the so-called “Lo Hei” or “Yusheng”. A Cantonese-style raw fish salad, usually, consists of strips of raw fish (sometimes salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means "raw fish" but since "fish" can also be translated as "abundance”, Yúshēng is interpreted as an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor. You can learn these and many other interesting traditions on your private tours Singapore!

With the Chinese New Year approaching, we are entering the Year of the Rat! Don’t worry, that does not mean that we are heading for a rat invasion :-) According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. The Rat tricked the Ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, Rat jumped down and landed ahead of Ox, becoming first. Hence, rats are known to be clever, quick thinkers; successful, but content with living a quiet and peaceful life. Do you know your Chinese Zodiac? Ask you guide on your Singapore tour!

Welcome to a new episode of "Meet your Singapore tour guide " This is the latest blog of our series to introduce you to the people who take you on Singapore day tours. If you book your Singapore tours, chances are your tour guide might be Dan. Dan moved to Singapore many years ago for work and decided to stay! Making Singapore his home, he is full of fun facts and fascinating information that will make you feel how much Dan loves "his" Lion City. If you book a Singapore tour, with him you are sure to be in for a treat and will definitely make the most of your time here! Let's see what Dan had to say in our short interview:** What is your favourite Singlish word?--> As a Westerner, I often get surprised looks when I speak Singlish. The words I most often use are “Tahan” and “Mafan”. “Tahan” means able to withstand and I might use it when showing off that I can eat spice with my local friends. When we take that first bite of a very spicy Mala Hot Pot you might see me look across the table and ask, “Can tahan or not?” as a bit of a friendly challenge. “Mafun” means troublesome. I use it in place of “pain in the [backside]” and I feel a bit more refined. "What is your favourite makan (food) place?--> Old Airport Road hawker centre is my favourite makan place because there are many options to choose from it never gets old! My favourite foods to eat there are fried beef hor fun, popiah, and carrot cake. **Don’t we all love a good popiah? Delicious!!! **Do you have a favourite place in Singapore?--> Again, it's hard to choose just one. For nightspots during the week, I enjoy Al Capone's at Far East Shopping Centre. It's on the luxurious Orchard Road, but it is one of the most reasonable places to have a drink and enjoy live music. They mostly play old rock blues during the week. Another favourite of mine is Going Om on Haji Lane. It is a more chilled out vibe with low-lit lanterns and live music with a Lo-Fi vibe. For an outing in the day, there are many beautiful, lesser-known parks such as the Toa Payoh Town Park that are perfect for a picnic with family and friends. ** Tell us the funniest thing that happened to you during a tour.--> So many funny things happen on tours it's hard to choose just one. I really enjoy a clever joke and sometimes tourists are very witty. A chef was on a food tour with me and as I pointed out the old Jewish Quarter from the edge of Little India, he asked if there were any kosher delis there. I explained where he could find a good kosher deli, but it wasn't in this particular area and he quickly quipped as we walked back into the heart of Little India, "I guess there wouldn't be old delis in New Delhi." ** We definitely look forward to more of those funny incidents with you!
Always smiling… This is our Dan!

As a multicultural country, Singapore has people from many different backgrounds. For example, on Singapore car tours, you can learn about the Maghain Aboth Synagogue which is a reminder of how far back Singapore’s multicultural roots go. Constructed in 1878, the synagogue is one of the oldest surviving Jewish buildings in Southeast Asia and stands in what used to be the country's Jewish quarter.

The Maghain Aboth Synagogue is a gem in more ways than one, providing both a snapshot of history and a glimpse into a rich culture. However, if you would like a visit on your Singapore car tours, we will need to pre-arrange it far in advance.
With Singapore being the melting pot of Asia, you will find the most delicious foods to eat! Without a doubt, one of them is Roti Prata with curry! A South-Indian flatbread made by frying stretched dough flavoured with ghee (Indian clarified butter), it is usually served with fish or mutton curry and hits the spot every single time! While you are on your Singapore tour, try different styles. The classic versions are served plain or with eggs as a filling, local menus now feature a variety of modern variations such as cheese, chocolate, ice-cream, and even durians – turning it from a main course to a dessert.

Feeling peckish after your Singapore day tours? Dig in with your fingers (recommended way to eat it) and try some soft or crispy Prata to your very own gusto!
Singapore is known to make impossible things possible. If you are on a Singapore sightseeing tour during Christmas time, chances are you will be caught in a snowstorm!!! We can see the puzzled faces! We are talking about the Tanglin Mall Snow Show! If you are looking for things to do in Singapore at night, from November 16 through to January 1, you can join many others for a “White Christmas” but don’t forget to bring your towel as the snow is made of foam!
It’s snowing in Singapore!
Definitely one of the messy and fun things to do in Singapore and you can tell back home: I was on Swinter (Winter in Summer ;-) ) holidays!
No doubt Singapore has some major historical buildings due to its history. One of the national monuments you might see on your Singapore trips is the St. James Power Station. Built in 1926, it was Singapore's first power station (also previously the one and only coal-fired power plant in Singapore) and supplied electricity to the nearby port and the surrounding industries, shipyards and residences. However St. James went through various phases since which you can ask your Singapore tour guide about.
Previously hosting Singapore’s night life now home to Dyson
St James received its name from its site - Cape Saint James. This tract of land used to belong to Temenggong Abdul Rahman, with whom Sir Stamford Raffles famously negotiated to sign the 1819 Singapore Treaty. The treaty allowed the British East India Company to set up a trading post in Singapore and marked the birth of Singapore as a British colony. Nowadays, St. James will be the HQ for Dyson. Ask your Singapore tourist guide about when old buildings are getting the URA Architectural Heritage Award and what they need to fulfill to receive it.
