Well worth it - I went on Sunday the 10th November with friends. We all knew little about Penang history and food but our host Lee-Anne was entertaining, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and well worth the price we paid. Thank you Lee-Anne!!

15 courses of Yum! - Lee-Ann was an amazing tour guide who brought us to some fantastic food shops and explained the history of Penang. I came to Penang for the food, specifically, and I was not disappointed! One word of advice: pace yourself. It’s a lot of food. If you have a partner, consider sharing a portion for some of the dishes. My favorite was the Penang Hokkien Mee. The broth was a sublime mixture of sweet and sour and citrus and fish that just ricocheted around the taste buds, but I was so full by this point in the tour that I couldn’t finish all the noodles. Very much recommended.

An absolute delight - try the best of Penang cuisine! - We had a sensational tour with Lee-Ann! Everything was delicious and we were so happy to discover local stalls and dishes we wouldn’t have been able to find ourselves. The Penang prawn hokkien mee and Penang assam laksa were particular highlights! Highly recommend and thank you Lee-Ann for such an informative, fun and delightful experience!

The tastiest way to start your day in Penang. - Wonderful Penang morning food tour, perfect size to enjoy incredible food in good company. Our tour guide Lee-Ann was excellent. There was no rushing and the tours takes you to some places you wouldn’t think or know to visit to enjoy local dishes made packed with explosive flavour. Plenty of local and food history along the way. Highly recommend.
