We had the most amazing food tour EVER! Our guide was TK and he’s so knowledgeable about the food and culture of Malaysia. He’s a true local foodie so we got to try both the famous places and the hidden gems of KL’s Chinatown. We love hearing about the history of some buildings and the stories of the street food vendors. All the food we tried was AMAZING and we can’t recommend this tour enough.

Our guide was excellent, he engaged with everyone in the group and took us to some fabulous places that certainly I don’t think any of us would have stumbled upon on on our own. Lots of different fruits, savoury and very sweet puddings sampled. Tour is great but be aware some of the toilets are a bit questionable so take some wipes or tissues. Would recommend tour to anyone visiting

Amazing food tour, got to try 18 dishes and learn all about how it is made. Would recommend to anyone that wants a crash course in Malaysian cuisine!

We were lucky to get a really good tour guide who went out of his way to make sure we were happy and the trip was very enjoyable

Ask for Louis! Knowledgeable, flexible and thoughtful. I learned so much about this beautiful city and tried delicious foods!
