What You’ll Experience

1

Little India - Penang

We begin our journey at one of the oldest enclaves in George Town. Like the migrants who made this place home, we will wander the city - exploring its food, its quirks and finding our place in this vibrant and diverse melting pot.
1 hourAdmission Ticket Free
2

Chulia Street

Change is inevitable, and we will discover how the winds of change have rearranged the city from its founding, to its glory days in the 19th century. Our selection of food changes with it, telling us a story many people barely perceive.
1 hourAdmission Ticket Free
3

Penang

We get a little off the beaten track, and discuss the pieces and players and recent events that have changed the face of George Town. We reflect on our journey, and how it mirrors the journey of this city and its people. And perhaps we come away a little wiser (and full of food).
1 hourAdmission Ticket Free
