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.

Great George Town food tour - you will be full and happy!

Awesome Penang food tour. Our guide Sandy was excellent and shared a ton about George Town history as well as all of the cultural details behind each food dish. We worked through a great varied selection of foods which I never would have found or tried on my own. Would highly recommend as a good way to learn more about George Town and eat some delicious dishes. There was a ton of delicious food so make sure you pace yourself and come hungry

Wonderful, unforgettable experience

So great, this food tour! With 15 unspoiled lakes and an enchanted guide. We came in the smallest, most inconspicuous places and also enjoyed Michelin-rated typical Georgetown treats. A melting pot of Malaysian, Chinese, and Indian food. And the coziness everywhere! I would want to do the tour five times!
