Food Tasting with Ruth - Kuala Lumpur
"We tried the food tasting with Ruth on the first day of arriving at KL and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Ruth took us to some great places around the central market and Petling street along with a few stops at some of the local sites. She was extremely friendly and the food was great. She even bought my gf a birthday present as this experience was booked as a birthday present for her. Highly recommend Ruth for anyone visiting KL in the future and wanting to get a locals take on the area 😊"

Absolutely wonderful food tour!
"Siddoz was a fabulous guide- he took us to numerous delicious stops, expertly tailoring the experience to be a good fit for two vegetarians. The food was absolutely delicious, the conversations interesting and we learned a lot about the history and culture of the areas we were eating in. Also, the value for price was perfect! We were so full we had to ask to take away food from the last 2-3 spots and they easily accommodated us. Now we have ample leftovers as well of delicious food. Highly recommend booking with Siddoz! "

Informative, fun, and very tasty
"We definitely recommend learning to cook with Ruth. Communication before the class was excellent so we knew what to expect and all of the recipes were tailored to our dietary preferences. During the lesson, we learnt a lot about the culture and history behind the food and Indian culture in Malaysia, as well as how to cook the dishes. Ruth was kind, welcoming, and friendly and even offered for us to message her with questions we might have about where to eat or what to see during the rest of our stay."

TK gave us a great tour
"We met TK outside the Central Market and he took us round the food section explaining about different local foods. TK was interesting and engaging, taking us to some interesting places and sampling some great street food including the ‘pigs intestine noodles’, which were great and the Tom Yam noodles, which were very tasty, along with a tea/coffee drink and a very unhealthy but tasty salad! When we are back in KL, we will be booking another tour with TK so that we can taste more street food. "

TK is the greatest
"We picked TK as our KL guide and we couldn't be more please. Initially we had booked him for a food tour but we were looking for a one day tour including Batu Caves and quick peeks at the hot spots of KL. He did not disappoint and really gave us a nice all encompassing overview of the city/culture/food. TK clearly has a passion for all things Malaysia. He's an energetic/dynamic/funny guide and we had a blast spending the day with him. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family travelling to KL. You won't be disappointed!"

Things to do in Kuala Lumpur

Visit the Loch Ness monster of Malaysia
How about trying to find a mystical creature during an awesome boat ride. Chini Lake in famous for being the home of the local version of Loch Ness monster. Don’t worry though. Even if you don’t find the unique creature, this trip will be worth remembering.
The natural sights there are breathtaking! Your private guide will also make sure to tell you all the stories of the place and how the monster legends started. Enjoy one of the most unusual things to do in Kuala Lumpur!
Fly above water like a superhero
Now who says you can’t fly above water like a superhero? Flyboard Malaysia is the only purveyor of this fun and extreme sport operating at Marina Putrajaya, located in the federal administrative capital Putrajaya. Ask your local guide to tell you more about this. It’s all within driving distance.
With nozzles attached to your feet, Flyboard Malaysia says within 20 minutes you will be able to maneuver the personal watercraft – yep, that’s what it’s called. Your local guide will be able to set you up with a few sessions and help you get the best prices for this unique experience.
Tour KL in a chopper
Yes, you can your friends can hire a helicopter and tour Kuala Lumpur from high up the sky. Your local guide will be able to set you up with this private getaway.
A 30-minute tour covers the major areas of the capital, meaning you’ll fly past Kuala Lumpur’s iconic skyscrapers. You will be aboard the Colibri, a 4-person single-engine helicopter which is fitted with carpeting and air conditioning.
Of course, bring your camera and snap away. You’ll be close enough to the Petronas Twin Towers and have the privilege of having a bird’s eye view of the city. Certainly one of the unusual things to do.
Join an “open house”
An open house, or rumah terbuka in Malay, is a Malaysian concept where during festivities houses are open to families and friends and strangers to partake of meals and celebrations. Your local guide will be able to coordinate this for you
What if you are visiting Kuala Lumpur on a regular day? Well, your local guide will be able to coordinate such an event with a Malaysian family. This is the best way to get to know the country and its culture.
Local tipAsk your local guide to also set you up with a local costume that matches the festivity.
Jungle trekking tree to tree
Malaysia is home to some of the world’s oldest forests. Getting to know its unique flora and fauna is must and you don’t have to go far to do this. Ask your local guide about Skytrex Adventures. It’s a tree-to-tree trek high up above the ground.
There are a few ways you can move around – glide, dangle, swing, or ‘fly’ – and these courses are offered to enthusiasts of any skill level. All you need is plenty of gusto and not be afraid of heights. It’s an unusual thing to do in Kuala Lumpur but it’s safe and supervised and hands down the best way to get to know the country’s green lung. Just remember to stay hydrated – Malaysia is humid after all.
Eat unique local food
Malaysia is a food haven. You’ll find all types of delicacies everywhere, from the street to the shopping mall. As it is a melting pot of cultures, various cuisine are on offer. But it also home to some unique and exotic ingredients.
Your local guide will show you what these are and will bring you around for a food tour of sorts. Some dishes or ingredients may not appeal to your taste buds, some would even turn you off by their pungent aromas, but they are must-tries. Some recommendations are sup torpedo or bull’s penis soup, the durian and stinky tofu. Yep, one of the unusual things to do in Kuala Lumpur and you don’t need to travel far to get these.
