Incredible foodie experience - The tour was amazing, Sandy helped us try so many amazing foods that we would have struggled to find or never even stumbled upon ourselves. All while telling us more about the foods, their history, and more generally some interesting information about George Town itself. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a chance to try out the awesome food that exists there.

Experience foodies paradise in Panang! - Having never visited Penang before this food tour is a must! You are taken to places you would never expect and sample a range of local cuisines. Our tour guide Lee-Ann was incredible and very knowledgable about the history of the food and the area. Word of warning, there are ALOT of tastings (15 in total!) so would recommend sharing and starting slow. Go hungry! My highlights were the laska, dim sum and the spinach noodles. Thank you for an amazing morning! ❤️
