Packed with gorgeous photos, and features on beautiful clothes, homes, food, weddings, parties, and extra sidebars with local gossip (can you guess which is fact or fiction?), you'll learn the ins and outs of all things Singapore!
Author Biography
Philip Choo is a 4th generation Singaporean and the original creator of the Crazy Rich Asians Fan Tour in Singapore. He has been in the travel business for ten years specializing in custom made private tours for clients who want something unique and tailored to their interests. He founded the tour in 2014, inspired to share his love of the novel and country with others. Phil and his tour have been featured in Cosmopolitan, ABC News, and CNN. When not playing "Peik Lin" to his visitors, he loves to eat, read the gossip columns, and eat some more.
Reviews"[Philip Choo] knows the ins and outs of Singapore society better than Nick Young knows which hawker centers sell the best satay . . . a wealth of knowledge about the Singaporeans who inspired some of Kevin Kwan's characters . . . If you happen to find yourself in Singapore, Phil's three-hour tour is a must-do." -Cosmopolitan "Choo's tour, a private tour by car, mixes fun anecdotes from the book with facts about Singaporean culture and history, taking tourists 'off the beaten path' and into the world of Crazy Rich Asians." -ABC News
