Experience Details

Penang is a treasure trove of surprises! Once a British colony, it has preserved its vibrant heritage from yesteryears. Post-independence, Penang has blossomed into Malaysia's cultural hub, brimming with festivals, vivid colors, and a lively populace. But the crown jewel of Penang is its FOOD. The flavors are endless, drawing food enthusiasts from all corners of the world to this culinary paradise. Even CNN, BBC, and Michelin Star chefs have been known to sneak into Penang for inspiration, observing the age-old frying techniques of the masters and exploring the abundant tropical fruits.


Join us on our Food Tour, a 3-hour gastronomic adventure across Penang, where you'll sample cuisines from three different ethnicities. This isn't just a food tour; it's a chance to mingle with locals, explore heritage sites, and delve into Penang's rich history.
