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.

We loved every second of this tour! Our guide Stephan was great he brought the perfect amount of fun and facts as we learnt about the history of Malaysian food and Malaysia in general he also was very accommodating to my diet of vegetarianism as although the tour said not suitable for vegetarians I still got to try 10 tastings (more than most tours anyway)! We enjoyed the entirety of this tour with the highlight being the roti making! We think it should also be advertised that there’s not actually that much walking and the weather does not ruin/ effect this tour much

Our guide Stephen gave us nice introduction to local cuisine and a bit of history. Even our daughter found something she liked and Stephen gave her special attention.
