Kuala Lumpur food tour - Fabulous food tour around Chinatown sampling Malay, Peranakan, Indian and Chinese influenced dishes- the Lala Noodles and Laksa Curry were delicious and our favourites . Steve from A Chef’s Tour was an excellent guide introducing us to the variety of food as well as giving us information about the history of the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed it and tried foods we wouldn’t otherwise have.

His passion and knowledge made the experience feel personal and authentic. Every bite was delicious, and the tour was the perfect mix of food, culture, and adventure. Highly recommend for anyone visiting KL!

Laska Lanes Food Tour - The tour exceeded our expectations thanks to our guide Kash. He was personable, knowledgeable...not just about the food but also Malaysian culture and history. We never would've visited as many places on our own! Highly recommend.

If you want to taste local and delicious food, there is no better way. - If you want to taste local and delicious food, there is no better way. The food tour started from a local market and our guide Kash was great. He was funny and told us about the history of the country and other interesting facts. We sampled about 20 different dishes, from small bites to main courses. From that point on, I fell in love with Lime juice. In addition to tasting the food, we also saw a lot of sights from the area - such as a Hindu temple, Buddhist temple, Chinese street, etc.. I definitely recommend it!
