Great host and local dishes on display - We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our host Ash was friendly, personable and had great local knowledge. It’s a great mix of local restaurants and street food specializing in Malaysia, India and Chinese dishes. We are so pleased we didn’t eat lunch as there is enormous amount of food to enjoy.
