Really enjoyable food tour. I think we tried approx 13 types of food and 1 cocktail, with a few juices along the way. All very tasty. We learnt about the food but also Penang and daily living in general. Also saw some street art. Wei Shen was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. My husband is a massive foodie and loved it. Would recommend this tour.

Did a tour with Wei Chen and loved it! It is a real quality food tour, we go to several restaurant, some are Michelin ones, and Wei Chen selects the best dishes for us to try. It was delicious, and we learned a lot about the culture in Malaysia. Thanks a lot for the tour Wei Chen, strongly recommend it! Also don't eat before, else you will be full after the first stop ;)

A gentle stroll through Georgetown that went well beyond the food. Having a knowledgable and friendly local guide gave us much more of an insight into Malaysian life and culture than you can get from a book and we enjoyed learning about the relationships between food, culture and the history of Penang. Highly recommended.

Wei Shen, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. He mixes some culture, art, and history into a very nice walking tour.

I am glad I joined this tour, and there was only one other couple on it so it made for a nice few hours. We started off with satay before heading into Little India for delicious Roti Jala, taking in a couple of temples on the way. There was as much history and temple visiting as there was food touring. We went to a vegetarian restaurant for some nice bread type things. We managed to take in some of the street art (we hijacked our guide a bit in order to see more of this) before visiting the Clan Jettties which were frankly disappointing. After yet more art we ended up having a lovely cocktail. It felt like less of a food tour and if you want a good meal in Georgetown, then Carnarvon Street is the most fantastic streetfood but it was an enjoyable time.
