George Town

Many are unaware of Penang’s unique culinary history, a mouthwatering mishmash of Malay, Indian and Southern Chinese culminating in a unique Nyonya cuisine. Penang might be one of South East Asia’s lesser visiting spots, but the culinary scene more than measures up to its neighbors. Four hours of feasting on our curated daily food experience awaits. Master your chopstick skills over sizzling plates of Hokkien char and char ho fun, dip lok lok in simmering aromatic hot pots, mop up daals and vegetable curries on banana leaf thalis and discover what colourful Nyonya kueh are among more than a dozen more sumptuous tastings at places you’d struggle to find alone.

We loved our food tour with Jenny in Penang. The food selections were delicious and filling and Jenny was an excellent guide with deep knowledge of Penang. She went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time, including for our infant child. We would definitely recommend this tour!

We explored a lot of different cuisines, and ate a lot of delicious foods. Highly recommend taking this tour as well as making sure you arrive hungry as there was so many tasty treats to sample, you definitely didn't leave hungry. Along with delicious foods, we were also given a lot of information about the people, food, and culture of the area.

Do this tour, you won't regret it. Our guide, Sandy, not only introduced us to local food and family run food stops, she educated us about the food and cultures around where we walked. We took our 7 and 10 year old children, who were happy to eat the same food as adults, but Sandy asked us at quite a few locations if we wanted any swaps for more child friendly options. The only one we accepted was a chocolate pani puri, which was delicious according to my 7 year old. This tour really delivers on the 15+ tastings. When your guide says "would you like to share or have your own?" If you don't mind, sharing is a good idea. Because you get a lot of delicious foods. Highly recommend this tour for everyone, but particularly those who want to either sample a lot or are feeling a little out of their comfort zone with the food stalls in the area.
Excellent tour of the eateries of Georgetown

An interesting food tour round the eateries of Georgetown with an excellent and knowledgeable guide. We learned some of the history of the development of the culture, both food and people. The actual tastings were varied and delicious and we were in a good group of 8 people from all walks of life.
