Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Little India - Penang, Queen Street and Penang Street Malaysia

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.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Chulia Street, Lebuh Chulia, George Town, Penang Island Malaysia

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.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Penang, 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).

We were in a group of 6 and were lead by our tour guide, Brandon. He was informative and took us for good variety of snacks and meals throughout Georgetown. We tried samosa, chai, curries, laksa, kuih, char kway teow, and various Nonya dishes. It was great to try out the specialties and learn about the primary cultural groups in the city. Brandon took care of ordering and payment for all the food, and kept on asking if we had enough to eat – he was determined to make us full! Highly recommend.

To be honest, wasn’t sue what to expect. Brandon turned up on the dot and the next 3 hours was a thoroughly entertaining and informative morning not only sampling many different ethnic dishes but also learning about Malay life, art, culture and its people. A tremendous way to pass a morning. Great guide and even better food.

A wonderful morning spent touring some interesting Penang foodie establishments we would never have found without our knowledgable guide Brandon. Many of which are hidden behind unpretentious shop fronts to which many would not look twice. An amazing tour, Truly remarkable food!

Very professional , good kit, a well balanced ramble through stunning rural landscape, small farming and fishing hamlets. Starting early avoided some of the heat at the middle of the day. Should have extended to the mid afternoon tour!

A fantastic way to explore George town and the incredible variety of cuisines it has on offer with such a diverse population. Brandon was an excellent guide, he gave us a taste of the culture and history of the area as well as the food. Every tour is different and ours covered a huge variety - from char koay teow through Malaysian Muslim Indian curries, different Peranakan fusion cuisines and some sweet treats. I would hugely recommend this tour to anyone who likes food!
