Full description
Malaysian cuisine is a complex beast. Thankfully, you can hit the street food tour scene with confidence, by joining this daily 4-hour chef-led food feast. Limited to 8 guests, you’ll be led away from the tourist crowds to some of Kuala Lumpur’s best joints, known only to locals. Along the way, you’ll dive into one of the city’s best wet markets to discover the produce and ingredients which go into Malaysian dishes, before tasting between 13 and 14 different dishes and snacks. As well as fine examples of classics such as rendang, nasi lemak and flame-grilled chicken skewers with rich peanut satay, your chef/guide will steer you towards some of KL’s lesser known delights like cooling cendol durian, banana-leaf grilled mackerel with sambal and nasi kerabu, a blue rice dish spiked with blue pea flowers. If you’re looking to truly get to the heart of the city’s cuisine, there’s no better way than on this chef-led culinary adventure. Escape the tourist traps and get your taste buds ready for the ride. You won’t regret it.

The tour was excellent. Plenty of good quality food and beverages. Our guide, Kiran, was very friendly and knowledgable. Her goal was to ensure we were happy with what was on offer, and we were. This is a great introduction to the street markets of KL. 👍

My partner and I had a fantastic time on this tour! Kiran was our guide and she was brilliant. Being Malaysian herself from Indian descent, she was very knowledgeable about the culture and food. She spent time in explaining all aspects, from the types of ingredients and fruits to why they were used and differed across cultures. We booked the tour during Ramadan so in the market there were special dishes which are usually only available during this time and she went out of her way to let us try these as extras on top of the tour menu! Be sure to come hungry and as there is plenty of tasty food as promised! All authentic and from a street food market busy with locals! Highly recommend!
