Get your fill of Singapore's food faves with Makan Bus

SINGAPORE: It’s the first of its kind in Singapore: A hop-on-hop-off tour bus that takes its passengers right to the heart of what the Republic is best known for - its food.

Every Singaporean has a favourite hawker dish or store and detailed reasons to back it up, and the Makan Bus aims to bring both tourists and locals to these heartland favourites with a specially curated tour route.

This new initiative by online travel platform MeGuideU offers 10 stops on its current single route, which starts at Orchard Gateway Mall and goes on to local food hotspots like Balestier, Thomson, Sin Ming, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan and Toa Payoh.

The food line-up is a plethora of choices, ranging from chicken rice, roti prata and bak kut teh to Indian rojak, claypot crab noodles, mee rebus and nonya kueh.

For a one-day pass costing S$28, passengers can hop on and off the Makan Bus which runs daily from 11am to 7.30pm at 20-minute intervals. On top of a guided brochure listing all the recommended eateries on the route, there will also be an on-board tour guide who will talk about the history and culture of the area and introduce the cuisine available at the different stops.
