Aldric Tan

Aka GeekyGlutton – the name says it all! As per this moniker, Aldric is a third-generation Singaporean with a deep-rooted love for all things geeky – from pop culture and museums to indie films and evocative film scores. And as a self-professed backpacking ‘glutton’, his travels through the winding alleys of Asia and the Mediterranean have sparked a richer appreciation for the herbs, spices, and stories behind every dish, all of which have deepened his love for Singapore’s iconic hawker culture.

That love, however, first simmered in his grandma’s kitchen, where the bold aromas of Teochew, Cantonese, and Peranakan recipes laid the foundation of his culinary curiosity. From there, his passion blossomed – not just for food, but for exploring the stories behind it. A recently licensed guide but with over a decade’s worth of crafting bespoke itineraries for friends and family, Aldric is now channeling his expertise into showcasing Singapore’s heritage, heartlands and hidden gems, one food trail at a time.

 

With past experiences as a home chef and private caterer, Aldric also champions food sustainability and seeks to weave sustainable tourism into every journey he curates. And while he’s always game for offbeat urban hikes and curious cultural finds, one truth remains: his boundless love for buffets and unforgettable gastronomic experiences continues to fuel every step of his scrumptious adventures!
