SINGAPORE – To many Singaporeans, the Chinese city of Putian is closely associated with Hinghwa cuisine.
Back from a familiarisation tour of Putian in June, he has curated tour itineraries and will lead about 200 locals to the picturesque coastal city south-east of Fujian, China, in November, with the help of travel agency Chan Brothers Travel.“Having tasted Putian food, they asked me about the place, and suggested that I lead tours to my home town or help them trace their ancestral village.”
Mr Fong will also help those of Hinghwa descent find their ancestral homes during the tour if they can furnish him with details such as an address in the city. One of them is advertising guru Norman Tan, who accompanied Mr Fong on his familiarisation trip. He finally fulfilled his wish of over 30 years to find his ancestral home on June 3.
