Marvelous tour with James today. LOTS of food. Perfectly curated with plenty of cultural tidbits. James tailored the tour for us (I’m gluten free/light) and was able to eat almost all the food. The best part is tasting foods you maybe wouldn’t know to order or perhaps wouldn’t dare. Highly recommended

James was a great guide who was very passionate about the food and history of Penang! We tried a variety of local dishes, my favourite being the char kuey teow. It was really intrestrsting going to the Chinese temple as James explained the history, the gods and facts about the temple.
