Fun tour full of tasty treats - Loved Uncle Sam's food tour. We were in a small group, Sam was really friendly, and we got to try plenty of tasty things; curries, noodles, nasi lemak, fruits, desserts...around 15 items. And everything was really tasty. I appreciated that there was an opportunity to use a bathroom as well.

Sambal Streets KL Food Tour - Hi everyone! we are from Dallas, Texas. My husband and I went on a food tour in KL on Sep 28th. It’s called Sambal streets food tour. Our food tour guide was Stephen. He knows everything about food, very knowledgeable, explains to you all the different types of food, a little bit history of where the food originated from and the people cooking this scrumptious, yummy food. Stephen was very kind and a humble person, and very easy to talk too. He took us to the best food places and street food . And we got to try different types of local fruits. He even let us try the food he ordered separately for himself, lol he is very generous. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone who wants to go on a Sambal street food tour, he is the perfect food guide. Come hungry, there is plenty of food to eat and you will leave full and very satisfied. We met as strangers…but left as friends. Thank you Stephen for your wonderful hospitality and friendship.

Great tour with Stephen! - Had a great trip with Stephen in a group of 7. Clear instructions on when and where to meet. Ate loads over a 4 hour tour visiting various places experiencing the local cuisine. So many sweet, savoury and spicy options to try out. Stephen was a cracking guide who kept us all entertained and well informed throughout about the food and culture. Well worth it.

Fantastic tour with an excellent host - This tour was hands-down one of the highlights of our entire trip to KL. From start to finish, our host Stephen was absolutely phenomenal — warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about both the food and the local culture. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen and the whole tour was filled with hidden gems that I never would’ve found on my own. Stephen went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and engaged, answering all our questions and even sharing personal anecdotes that made the experience feel incredibly authentic. If you're a foodie (or even just curious), do not miss this tour. Come hungry — you’ll leave full, happy, and with a much deeper appreciation for the local cuisine. Can’t recommend it enough!

Come hungry! Lots of tasty food comming your way. - Tour was filled with lots of information about local traditions regarding many food types and fruits. It is quite long, but since it is lots of eating you need time to get that all in. Recommend.
