Amazing tour with Kiran! - Loved our food tour with Kiran! She’s knowledgeable and passionate about the KL food scene. We enjoyed many foods and fruits that we wouldn’t have tried otherwise.

Do not hesitate to do this tour! - I cannot recommend this food tour enough. Kiran was our guide and she did a fantastic job and you will be lucky if you get her! I’ve been on many food tours and this was one of the best. She has great energy and she also explains what you’re eating and some of the history behind it. Now for the food, they did a great job selecting what we would eat and you will eat a lot. I previously was not a fan of durian but this is the best durian I’ve ever had and it gave me a new appreciation for it. So don’t even hesitate just book this tour.

Fantastic Food Tasting Tour in Kuala Lumpur - Had a fabulous food tasting tour with our great guide Uncle Sam. He was very welcoming and took us to some great local eateries and street food vendors. We went at a good pace and was nice to see where the locals go. Sam was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The food was fabulous and we got to try foods we had never had before - the Malay fruit was gorgeous. Would highly recommend this tour and Sam.

Amazing Sambal Streets KL food tour! - Amazing introduction to Malaysian cuisine along with a little cultural history during the Sambal Streets Kuala Lumpur evening food tour. We were offered more food than we could eat over a four hour period, with each morsel better than the last. I especially appreciated our guide (Steve) taking extra steps to accommodate a dietary restriction (gluten free), including by asking the restaurants/chefs to make unique sample meals for me. A great experience overall -- would highly recommend.

Worth the experience - Uncle Dam was a great host, with a lot if knowledge. Even though it was a rainy day, he still figured out a way we could experience as much as possible. I was super full at the end, I was glad I skipped lunch :D A great activity if your overwhelmed by all the amazing food options KL has to offer. This is a good gateway for novices of the street food scene... PS - i loved that we got to try making out own roti canai too...that was a great experience
