Start the day with a fragrant walk through Tekka Centre's adjacent Little India lanes, where a local spice merchant leads a mini-masterclass on grinding garam masala and choosing curry leaves before sampling freshly made teh tarik and crispy vadai from a family-run stall. Continue with a guided tasting tour at Serangoon Road's traditional eateries, stopping at a famed roti prata stall to learn flipping techniques, then visit The Aromatics Workshop-a community studio where guests create a bespoke spice sachet inspired by morning flavours to take forward into the day's Peranakan and Arab-influenced experiences.
Drift from the morning's spice explorations into a sensory walk through Tekka Mall's heritage arcade to taste south-Indian sweetmeats and sample specialty filter coffee, then cross into Kampong Glam for a guided visit to Haji Lane's artisanal spice boutique where a curator demonstrates Malay spice blends and packs a custom 'kampong' sachet.

End the night with a curated dessert pairing at Kampong Glam Confectionery, where modern kueh reinterpretations are served with bespoke kopi blends, reinforcing the day's arc from spice markets to contemporary presentations.
Begin with an immersive kitchen-to-plate masterclass at Keong Saik's experimental culinary studio, where guests shadow a chef-in-residence to learn precision plating and taste-test forward-thinking local ingredients like jackfruit 'seafood' and lab-cultured condiments.
