Everything was simply excellent. Stephen was our guide and he was outstanding. From explaining what the food was and how it was best enjoyed to the number of places and authenticity. This did not feel like a tour where you stopped at restaurants made into tourist traps. (Side note- If you have Stephen as your guide, he collects currency from other countries. He will trade you.) Seriously though, come hungry and you will leave very full.

We had a great time with Stephen on our food tour. We had to opportunity to try various fruits, Indian food & Malaysian food. Our guide was knowledgeable and told us about various foods and some malaysian history.

Full description

Malaysian cuisine is a complex cultural beast. Thankfully, you can hit the street food tour scene with confidence, by joining our food-obsessed team on our daily 4-hour 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 local eateries to discover the produce and ingredients which go into Malaysian dishes. There's some fine examples of classics such as rendang, nasi lemak and flame-grilled chicken skewers with rich peanut satay. Yet your guide will steer you towards some of KL’s lesser known delights like cooling cendol with durian, banana-leaf grilled mackerel with sambal, and hand stretched rotis with tasty curries.

If you’re looking to truly get to the heart of the city’s cuisine, there’s no better way than on this culinary adventure. Escape the tourist traps and get your taste buds ready for the ride.
