Overview

With a mix of cultural influences on the nation's cuisine, it's no wonder that Malaysian food is a lip-smackingly complex beast.

We'll meet in the old district of Chow Kit and Kampung Baru, one of the last remaining districts that is yet to be developed into glassy high rises.

Don't expect other foreigners. Stroll in this local neighbourhood of nightly street eats, sampling a variety of 15+ tastings, carefully curated for their culinary history.

The flavours change across the year, but highlights include the fragrant bowls of laksa, hand stretched rotis, nasi lemak with piquant sambal and herbal chicken rendang, charcoal-grilled mackerel, and soothing iced cendol with custard-like durian. We'll end with a fine view of the mighty Petronas Twin Towers.

I'm sure you have a lot of your plate, but here's some food for thought. While it's possible to attempt such a culinary marathon yourself, you'd be one sandwich short of a Malaysian picnic not to join me on our moveable food feast.

Highly recommended, Kiran was very passionate about local foods and history. Lots of entertaining anecdotes and food. Although we had a typical KL downpour at the start of the tour Kiran was prepared and provided us with plastic rain covers to keep us dry.

The food was amazing and it just kept coming! Stephen was very nice and I learned a lot about how locals usually eat, the benefit of the food as well as the history and culture around it. A must do in Kuala Lumpur.

I loved trying the 5 different fruits from a fruit stand. Hairy fruit was my favorite and definitely never seen it in the US before. Sam was an excellent guide. This tour gives a full immersion into Malaysian culture and food.
