When it comes to food, the residents of Penang have it good. There’s few places which measure up to George Town’s culinary prowess. It might not be as visited as Bangkok or Singapore, but those who cross the Penang Strait are treated to some serious feasting. There’s just nowhere like it. Each morning the street vendors and shophouses burst into breakfast action simmering, frying and steaming some of George Town’s best eats. With us, you’ll take a deep dive into the city’s rich food culture and history, encounter the people behind the food and mop up over 15+ tastings providing a unique, flavourful perspective to the food scene you’d struggle to do alone.

5.00What a culinary delightful time we had on this small, quaint, and delicious tour in Old town Georgetown. Our guide Sandy was extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand. She has a wealth of information. We had Maylasian porridge, Hainan chicken rice, pork dumplings, and peanut candy to name just a few! All extremely delicious!!! It’s hard to choose just one, but my husband’s favorite was Sister Yao’s Char Koay Kak.
