• If you’ve never sampled authentic Asian cuisine before…

  If you’ve never sampled authentic Asian cuisine before…then this is a useful introduction! Tham was the perfect guide: friendly, intelligent, knew how to read the tour party and adjust as required. We sampled Nyonya, Chinese and Indian food and beverages, along with local fruit - all excellent quality. The tour wasn’t rushed, with plenty of local history added along the way. We stopped in 5 locations for the tastings: 17 would have taken a lot longer! (We were just over 3hrs for a tour of three people). I’ve travelled extensively in Asia but still sampled some new flavours: for my wife - everything was new and she thoroughly enjoyed the palette education!

• A wonderful insight to cuisine and culture.

  This Food Tour exceeded my expectations! Our guide, Ashline, was very helpful, knowledgeable and a local. We gained a special insight to the local culture and cuisine which was so interesting. We now have several delicious food haunts near our hotel! Ashline included interesting details about Street Art, architecture, temples as well as about the local dishes we tasted. Plenty of food and drinks to sample. Booking the tour and contact from the company was well organised. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour but you do need to be able to manage walking around the Georgetown heritage precinct, in the heat, for 3-4 hours - of course there are plenty of stops to sit down and eat along the way!

  The tour with our guide Garrick was an absolute highlight! He curated a fantastic selection of dishes and drinks, from savory to sweet, including unique local specialties. What made it even more special was that we didn’t just taste the favorite spots of the locals, but also learned many fascinating stories and background information about the dishes, their history, and about Penang and Malaysia itself. The tour struck the perfect balance: culinary variety combined with cultural insights. Informative, entertaining, and incredibly delicious, highly recommended! We would join again anytime.

• Great intro to delicious Penang cuisine

  A fascinating walking tour enjoying a variety of flavoursome sweets, mains, snacks and drinks (Nyonya, Indian, Chinese & Malay) washed down with contextual history by our informative guide Garrick on the heritage of Penang’s people’s, culture, religion and of course food. Garrick provided insight and anecdotes that kept the tour engaging and entertaining.

  This was an awesome experience! JS Lim was our guide, and he was outstanding! He gave us a great tour of both the local food as well as some local history. We had an opportunity to try Nyona, Indian, Chinese, and local foods. We tried all different drinks and fruits. I would definitely request him personally if we ever wanted to go on a tour again.

• Definitely worth a try

  We went on this tour our first evening in Penang. It’s a perfect way to get an introduction to the great food this city has to offer — plus our guide, Lim, was terrific in sharing about the culture and history along the way, and making this much more than only food focused. (Although the food is a highlight!) We tried different snacks, fruits, drinks, and meals. No one on our tour went the least bit hungry or unsatisfied! And we learned several delicious dishes and snacks to come back for in our subsequent days in the city. Lim is a real ambassador for the city and was incredibly helpful with ideas and suggestions for other things to do and foods to try. We also had the pleasure of doing a city orientation walking tour with him in the morning — that combination gave us the best day and start possible for our Penang visit.

• Best option for food AND cultural sites

  This was an amazing food and cultural tour with a wonderful tour guide, Garrick! If you’re looking for a perfect combination of delicious food, cultural sites, and friendly local insights, this is your tour! We took two teenage kids and all four of us had a wonderful experience. Garrick was fun, hospitable and showed us a wonderful slice of Penang.

• Incredible food AND cultural sites in one

  We had the most amazing experience walking the streets of Penang, enjoying not only the best Michelin rated local spots with world class front of the line service, thanks to our amazing guide, Garrick, but also some of the top cultural sites to see in Penang. If you are looking for the best way to see art, UNESCO world heritage sites and more, all while eating the most delicious local food and drink and talking with a friendly resident guide, THIS is your tour! Our group of four (2 teens and 2 adults) enjoyed learning about the history of the regional cuisine and the local culture. Unlike other food tours we have done, this one really integrated sites and culture along with the food!
