4.00We really enjoyed our evening out with Joel. He is a mine of information on the food and culture and we had some great dishes including dosa with coconut and tomato chutney, roti canai telor with kurma gravy, nasi goreng kampung and more. The best one was Uncle Bob's Beef Rendang, delicious, especially with the peanuts and anchovies! Joel also had great advice on places to avoid and what to look for in street food. He was kind enough to walk us back to the train station too!

5.00Wonderful tour guide TK completely customized it to our limited schedule and gave us a wealth of knowledge and info. He was passionate about his job and it was far better than we were expecting! We got to see tons of places in KL we otherwise would have missed, and learned a ton about the city’s short history and cuisine trying multiple different meats, dishes, and learned a lot
Passionate tour guide catered 100% to our needs

5.00TK was exceptional, clearly passionate about what he does, catered the tour to us. We had a long day of travel and were exhausted by the time we arrived to KL and he could tell and was accommodating, informative, and hit the highlights for us at a pace that worked for us so we could turn in early. All the food stops were interesting and delicious and I loved the history he shared about the cuisine. Would highly recommend!!
