Penang Food Tour - Georgetown

Fantastic local food tour guide, Kevin.

Kevin collected us from our hotel five minutes early! Then drove us to small places which we would have never found. Each stop had different local foods and drinks, all of which Kevin explained to us. As well as explaining some of the local and food history. Kevin was a local who had been a chef in Penang, so his knowledge and curtesy were excellent. The tour is highly recommended.

Local Street Food Tour in Georgetown Penang

Food and Culture

Janice is a great guide. She made our experience so much more than a food tour - it was a cultural experience. We really experienced Penang. I highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will get Janice who made it truly special. Make sure you a very hungry - the food is amazing and plentiful!

Malay Culinary Journey Cooking Class for the Adventurous Foodie

Highly recommend

Highly recommend this cooking class. We learned so much about the food and culture of the Nyonya. We did the morning class with market tour. We got to meet lots of local vendors and tried some local food for breakfast. The food we cooked was incredible! Afterwards you get a long list of restaurants to try, so make sure to book this class for the first or second day of your stay in Penang in order to have time to try the recommendations.
