Good food. Great guide. - Uncle Sam met us on time, and proceeded to take us on the food tour which was mainly based around the Chow Kit area. The tour was well organised, and Sam was an interesting and knowledgeable guide. He shared stories not only about the food we were tasting, but also some history of the neighbourhood and Malaysia generally. We enjoyed the varied range of food, and even if there were 1 or 2 things you didn't like, overall, it was difficult to come away hungry. The added experience of trying to make our own roti was just plain fun. A very enjoyable evening.

Fantastic Malaysian Food Tour - The food-tasting tour with Kiran was fantastic! We tried a wide variety of delicious Malaysian dishes, while Kiran shared many fascinating insights—not only about the food but also about everyday life in Malaysia. The tour was educational, fun, and wonderfully diverse. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Worthy Experience - The food tasting was okay and overall, it was a really enjoyable experience. We were a small group, which made it more interactive and personal, and the guide did an excellent job throughout—very knowledgeable, patient, and engaging. The weather was also friendly, which made the experience even more pleasant. Overall, I’d say it was definitely worth the price and a great experience.

Best KL Night Food Walk - A wonderful 4-hr evening walking tour in a group of only 7 to sample a wide range (15) of local Malaysian dishes. Our guide Ian was informative, knowledgable, entertaining and helpful. The servings were generous and there was always the offer of more at each stop. A bonus was not only tasting the food but Ian was able to describe the ingredients and the history, culture and tradition of the dishes origin. Ian, many thanks for providing an excellent experience, a memorable highlight of our trip to KL.

Excellent tour with super-friendly guide - Stephen rocks! - The tour and mix of flavours is outstanding, from spicy and salty to sweet delights. A wide range of flavours, textures and ingredients makes for a fantastic tour. From small, family run street cafes, roadside stalls and all the way to a bigger restaurant toward the end, the tour is designed to have small samples of lots of different dishes - watching roti be made, trying all kinds of Malaysian fruits, including durian, sweet tea, local drinks and a delightful mango-coconut dessert. I cannot speak highly enough of our guide, Stephen. Warm, funny, generous and kind with expert knowledge (even if he does support Liverpool - nobody’s perfect, Stephen :-) ) Big thanks to Stephen for his hospitality and going over and above the call of duty. Thoroughly recommend this tour to any family ready to sample the delicious food that the backstreets of old KL have to offer.
