Overview

Our Phuket food tours have been voted the best culinary adventures on this food-obsessed island by TripAdvisor.

The Chinese and Malay cultures have left their gastronomic mark on Phuket along with just a pinch of Indian spice, leaving a unique cuisine found no where else in Thailand. Forget Thai green curry, papaya salad and mainland staple fare; Phuket’s proud of it’s dim sim houses and sticky, dark moo hong pork belly curry, it’s soy sauce noodles and crepe-wrapped fresh spring rolls.

Wrap your chopsticks around sticky handmade fresh spring rolls, wok-fried mee hoon, Hokkien noodles peppered with delicate prawn wontons and char sui barbecue pork, spiced chicken curry puffs, gaeng som fish curry and much more on this gastronomic island journey.

But this tour isn’t just about the food. It’s about the people and the place. Why does the city have pretty Portuguese townhouses? Why the city is festooned with Chinese temples? And what are those amulets that everyone’s wearing?

This tour was amazing. I highly recommend it. We tasted a great variety of true Thai dishes, all of which were excellent in taste and with regards to the freshness of the ingredients. The eateries were authentic and intriguing places, which I wouldn’t have found by myself or probably wouldn’t have been brave enough to try out without a local. Yet all turned out to be true gems, many of them were family-run businesses that have been going for generations. A fascinating aspect was that many dishes showed the influence of other cultures on Thai cuisine, e.g. Indian, Malay, Chinese, British. Our tour guide Nana was knowledgeable, kind and good-humoured. She answered all of our questions with a friendly smile on her face. Even after the tour had ended, when I asked specifics about a particular dish hours later, I was answered straight away in the kindest way and with great detail. We were served full portions at every stop, not just small tasters, so we practically had lunch and dinner. It was great! This tour was the highlight of our stay in Phuket.

Fantastic experience, we would never have dared to try most of the places/ foods on the tour, even the foods that weren't familiar to us were so tasty, so glad we did this instead of playing safe. Our guide Lucky was fabulous too, perfect tour guide, so friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about the foods and history. I would recommend this tour 100%
