Penang is the melting pot of cultures (and therefore cuisines) with a very diverse cultural background blended and assimilated into a unique traditions and foods. It is very rare that one can find a harmonious mix of different cuisines of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous communities. As this city also has a big populations of foreigners and expatriates, there are also a huge varieties of different cuisines of different countries. I always encourage tourists and visitors to try all the food from the different communities - this is why you venture out to try new things. But at the same time if any of my guests missed their usual favorite home country food, I can recommend good eating places for food of their country of origin. Malaysia Truly Asia. Penang has it all. The international media and hospitality guide. Time Out has crowned Penang as the No. 1 Best Street Food City in Asia. Some highlights must-try classics are Char Kuey Teow, Assam Laksa, Roti Canai and Hokkien Mee.

Wonderful Penang Food !

5.00I went on a food tour in Penang with my family, and it was a really wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Mr Lim was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He took great care of us throughout the whole tour. He brought us to many amazing places for lunch and explained the history and stories behind the food and the different areas we visited. We got to try so many delicious dishes that we might not have found on our own. Each stop felt special, and we could see that he really loves sharing Penang’s food culture. We enjoyed every moment of the tour and learned a lot at the same time. My family and I are very happy with the whole experience. Thank you to our guide for making the day so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your effort. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Penang!
Making a special trip even more special!

5.00My family planned a birthday trip to Penang for my dad. Since we have not been to Penang for some time, I thought it advisable to book a food tour. Best decision ever! Lim knew the best places to sample the multitude of foods that Penang has to offer. He planned the tour so well, and interspersed the food stops with heritage sites that allowed us a glimpse of the rich history and culture of Penang. Lim had such depth of local knowledge, and was full of nuggets of information on both the food and sites, which made the walk even more enjoyable. The 3-hour walk through this UNESCO heritage site allowed us to make more stomach space for the amazing food, a big shout-out for the chendul & assam laksa at Penang Road and samosas in Little India. Thanks Lim for making this special trip even more special, we would not have found all these foods without you!
