What to Expect
Even before the sun rises, Chinatown Complex is alive with activity. Join us on an after-dark tour that takes you behind the scenes to meet hawkers as they prepare their wares before the throngs of hungry visitors descend on Chinatown Complex. Listen to tales from these passionate hawkers, and get the chance to sample some of these delicacies even before the rest of the nation has risen from bed!
